Swallowing the Stars: Shocking! The Giant Axe Wants to Become My Apprentice

Chapter 706 The Pressure on Zhou Ze and His Apprentice

"Why are you asking this?" Zhou Ze asked telepathically with a smile.

Luo Feng said awkwardly, "Isn't it obvious? If you, teacher, were to participate in the inheritance, it would be a piece of cake. I won't participate."

"You're quite clear-headed..." Zhou Ze said with a smile. "Although I'm somewhat interested, I'd rather kill those scum from the Purple Moon Holy Land. They have at least ten supreme treasures."

Luo Feng silently mourned for three seconds for the Purple Moon Holy Land expert who had offended his teacher. He had never realized his teacher was so vengeful.

In order to kill the powerful figures of the Purple Moon Holy Land, they didn't even want the inheritance.

Luo Feng had no idea that Zhou Ze simply didn't want to compete with him, his cheap disciple, for the inheritance, so he deliberately used the Purple Moon Holy Land as an excuse.

In fact, neither the actions of the Purple Moon Holy Land nor the previous actions of the Divine Eye Clan had shaken Zhou Ze's mindset in the slightest; it wasn't that he didn't hold grudges.

Instead, he wouldn't take the provocations of some ants seriously, he wouldn't hold a grudge, and he wouldn't feel any anger in his heart.

……

Inside the control room, the many powerful individuals who had been brought in were still struggling with their inner turmoil:

"What should we do? Should we go or not? I'm not worried about the others, but with a human holy master and a galactic lord involved, I'm afraid my chances are slim!"

"This kind of inheritance definitely tests the potential of the inheritor, and in this vast cosmic sea, whose potential can compare with that of a human saintly master? I'd better not go. Besides, there are too many powerful figures present; my chances are slim!"

"The selection of these successors will certainly involve many tests, but ultimately it all comes down to who has the greatest potential. However, the master and disciple from the original universe are both here. One became the strongest being in the universe in just over a dozen epochs, and the other, at the level of a universe venerable, possesses the strength of the strongest universe lord..."

Most of the powerful figures present were pessimistic. It wasn't that they lacked confidence; those who could traverse the cosmic sea must at least be cosmic masters, and there were even many of the strongest beings in the universe present.

To become such a powerful figure, who wouldn't have their own pride and confidence? But confidence is confidence, and in this kind of test for the successor, everyone pales in comparison to Zhou Ze. Even Luo Feng, the disciple he mentored, has no one who is confident of surpassing him.

They knew very well that if they entered with Zhou Ze or Luo Feng, they would most likely become cannon fodder and find it extremely difficult to obtain the inheritance. Moreover, even without Zhou Ze and his apprentice, they would still have to face competition from many powerful individuals.

Just as almost all the powerful figures were struggling with their inner turmoil, the throne above the hall gathered energy and condensed once more, revealing the blue-haired figure, Duan Donghe.

"Have you thought it through?" Duan Donghe stood up and slowly walked down, looking down at the powerful figures of the universe sea below.

Everyone understood that this figure was definitely an energy entity controlled by some kind of intelligence left behind by Duan Donghe, while Duan Donghe himself had undoubtedly perished long ago.

"rise!"

Duan Donghe pointed to the ground of the main hall and whispered.

Boom!

The main hall immediately began to rise, and the powerful figures standing on it and around it quickly moved aside. All the powerful figures who were still struggling with their decisions looked over.

A huge, round stone floated up, revealing a deep, dark hole. The hole was faintly crimson, with occasional blood-red ripples of energy swirling within it.

"Those willing to accept the inheritance, go down," Duan Donghe said directly. "I will choose you according to the method of selecting successors in the Duan Donghe lineage. As you pass many tests, you will gradually come into contact with the inheritance. Once you come into contact with the inheritance, it will be a life-or-death crisis. If you succeed, you will accept all the inheritance and live! If you fail to accept it completely, or even just a trace, you will surely die!"

"If you're scared now, you can leave immediately!"

"Once the gate is opened, it will not be closed. You can invite your clansmen and friends to try and break through. The more people who try, the better, as this will increase the chances of a new Duan Donghe being born!"

Duan Donghe said calmly, "Make your choice."

The next moment, his figure seemed to dissipate like dust, turning into nothingness.

The circular stone slab floated high above, revealing an endless crimson passage below, but for a time no powerful figure entered.

They looked at either Zhou Ze or Luo Feng, clearly their concerns were focused on the two of them.

However, the next moment, Zhou Ze appeared in the gate in a flash, standing quietly, and smiled slightly:

"Those who want to leave can leave now, but those from the Purple Moon Holy Land, I advise you all to accept the inheritance. Perhaps if you receive the inheritance, you can survive."

Zhou Ze smiled, then vanished through the control room's gate in a flash.

Duan Shanhe, hidden in the shadows, frowned slightly and sighed, "It's a pity this boy has a poor character; such amazing talent is wasted. Alas..."

……

Zhou Ze's words before leaving immediately stunned many powerful figures present. They really didn't expect Zhou Ze to be so vengeful, not even wanting the inheritance in order to kill the powerful figures of the Purple Moon Holy Land.

For a moment, many powerful figures present forgot about the matter of inheritance, and were all filled with inward amazement:

"This human holy master is someone we should never mess with again; he's far too petty!"

"We absolutely must not provoke the Primal Universe Human Race. They are terrifyingly powerful and incredibly petty. If we offend them, we might be killed with a single sword strike if we bump into them in the cosmic sea, or even hunted down!"

"How hateful! The experts of the Purple Moon Holy Land are really unlucky to have offended such a supreme expert! They're probably in for a lot of trouble in the future. I bet they won't even dare to come to the Cosmic Sea until he transcends reincarnation."

"Why wouldn't they even want a legacy? I don't understand... I don't understand..."

Zhou Ze's actions and words drew the attention of all the powerful figures present, but soon, a figure flew towards the crimson passage, laughing heartily at the same time:

"My time is almost up, yet I've been granted this opportunity—the methods of an ancient civilization. Even though I'm from the first era of reincarnation, I still have a chance to become the strongest in the universe, and perhaps even transcend reincarnation!"

"Even ancient civilizations couldn't break the limitations. So once I receive the inheritance, I can guide the strongest beings of my Skeleton Clan in the universe. As long as even one of them succeeds, the third Holy Land universe will be born, hahaha..."

After this powerful member of the Skeleton Clan entered the crimson passage, it was as if he had lit a fuse, and immediately a large number of powerful individuals rushed in to join him.

"With my deadline approaching, this is my only chance; how can I miss it?"

"Walk!"

"Haha! If I'm going to die, it'll just be a moment sooner!"

"What about eternity? The passion of my life lies in adventure. My clan will be unaffected by my absence. The Holy Land and the universe will exist forever. This inheritance is a rare opportunity that can only be encountered once in countless eras. If I miss it, I will definitely regret it. This adventure may be the greatest adventure I have ever taken, but I will go. Even if I die in the adventure, it will be worth it."

"Damn humans, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been forced to accept this life-or-death inheritance!"
