Chapter 548: The Shocking News
New Bluesphere.
Fang Xing formed hand seals, cultivating his Heart Power.
"The heart, a most elusive and intangible entity..."
"The cultivation of the True Spirit is even more profound and mysterious. However, the method of cultivating Heart Power in the Ruler's world takes a different approach... By comprehending one's Heart Manifestation and starting from it, one can touch upon the True Spirit..."
Before Fang Xing, the power of the Great Dao gathered, transforming into the pattern of laws.
A miniature black dragon appeared, baring its fangs and claws, and it carried a sense of etherealness.
"I've already entered the realm of Heart Power... Now, after obtaining that drop of blood, I've made further progress."
"At my current level, I can probably influence Lawmasters at the fourth or even fifth rank..."
As Fang Xing's thoughts moved, the dark dragon of laws instantly dissipated.
Then, on his attribute panel, a prompt appeared:
[Heart Power: Novice → Skilled!]
"Excellent... When I reach the Proficient level, even sixth-rank Lawmasters will likely be affected, and Master-level Lawmasters might influence Domain Masters?"
"If it's a Grandmaster, they might even be able to kill a Domain Master?"
Fang Xing took a deep breath, "This is based on my current fourth-rank Lawmaster level. As my strength increases, the power of my Heart Power attacks will also continue to rise... If I were a fifth-rank Lawmaster now, a Skilled level Heart Power could influence sixth-rank Lawmasters..."
"Moreover, I also have the 'Transcender's Blood,' a precious treasure that can amplify my attacks..."
Just as he was deep in thought, suddenly!
Fang Xing's vision went dark, and he saw a mysterious continent.
On that vast continent, stone pillars rose from the ground, each one reaching heights of several light-years, towering majestically and capable of accommodating entire planets.
As he gazed upon this continent, a coordinate appeared in his mind, and it was the same as the one mentioned in the previous email about a secret realm in the Outer Battlefield!
'How is this coordinate the same as the one from the email about the secret realm?'
As Fang Xing was puzzled, a voice rang in his ear:
"If you desire my inheritance, 'Cinder,' then come... Come to the continent of 'Cinder' and occupy one of the 'Cinder Pillars'..."
The voice was grand and majestic, causing everyone who heard it to momentarily lose their focus.
"My True Spirit has been influenced..."
"This doesn't even seem like the method of an Eternal Existence, but rather... a Transcender?"
Fang Xing's heart stirred, "Could it be that the secret realm in the Outer Battlefield... is actually the inheritance left by a Transcender? This is madness!"
He took out the Tai Xu Stone, and a wisp of his consciousness entered the Tai Xu Universe.
Indeed, within the Tai Xu Universe, there was also a commotion.
"Brother Fang, did you hear that voice just now?"
Kun Wu approached, his expression excited.
"The inheritance in the Outer Battlefield, the continent of Cinder? I heard it..."
Fang Xing nodded in confirmation.
"You and I are separated by countless star systems, yet we heard it at the same time... Other Lawmasters experienced the same thing..."
"Even I've heard that the Insect Race and the Alien Beast Civilization received the same transmission. It was a message that instantly reached across the entire universe."
Kun Wu exclaimed, "What kind of powerful being is this? Perhaps... only a Transcender, as legends say, would have such capabilities?"
"Yes, I think so too."
Fang Xing nodded in agreement. Lawmasters weren't fools; a little communication was enough to deduce many things.
"That secret realm... isn't an Eternal-level inheritance but a Transcender's inheritance?"
Kun Wu gasped, "The higher-ups are going crazy... Are you going?"
Fang Xing let out a bitter laugh, "Where do we even fit into this now?"
"The latest news..."
At that moment, in this region, a Lawmaster who seemed to be made of silver-white metallic liquid spoke up, "The secret realm in the Outer Battlefield is still the same as before, refusing entry to Domain Masters and even Eternal Existences... Our Eternal Existence has already arrived at the entrance to the secret realm and has reached an agreement with the Eternal Existences of the Insect Race and the Alien Beast Civilization... The peak Lawmasters of the three peak civilizations can enter that secret realm, head to the continent of 'Cinder,' and compete for the inheritance pillars!"
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Fang Xing received an email from the Starfield Civilization's official channel.
This time, the email didn't beat around the bush but stated directly:
[Optional Mission: Enter the Secret Realm of 'Cinder' to Compete for the Transcender's Inheritance!]
[Location: Outer Battlefield]
[Mission Description: The Transcender 'Cinder' has left ten inheritance pillars on the continent. Only by occupying a pillar can one proceed to the next stage of inheritance trial... This mission will pit you against powerful Lawmasters from the other two peak civilizations...]
[Note: This mission has an extremely high mortality rate, but all participants will be granted one chance of resurrection. If the Transcender's inheritance is obtained, the Starfield Civilization is willing to pay a significant price to share it...]
...
"It's actually the Transcender's inheritance? An inheritance that only we Lawmasters can compete for?"
"Haha... I've lived for over ninety thousand years, and I've never heard of such a thing."
"And they're granting a chance of resurrection? What are we waiting for? Let's go now!"
"Let's go together!"
The Lawmasters in the Tai Xu Universe immediately became excited.
"Brother Fang, let's go together. We can look out for each other, right?"
Kun Wu looked at Fang Xing with pleading eyes, as if he hadn't even considered the possibility of Fang Xing not going.
In fact, that was precisely the case.
'Facing such temptation, any Lawmaster who doesn't go would seem very odd... Unless there's a compelling reason, everyone will definitely try to get there...'
Fang Xing smiled bitterly in his heart, then said seriously, "Of course, we should go and witness it..."
...
At the same time.
The entire universe was in an uproar.
After all, the Transcender's message was directed at all Lawmasters in the universe!
In the Human Territory, on a desolate planet.
Countless blood-red oceans surged, enveloping the barren world.
Suddenly...
The blood-red waters began to boil, transforming into a crimson robe that draped over a Lawmaster—none other than the Blood Prison God Emperor!
"I've given up everything and cultivated bitterly, and finally, I've achieved some results..."
The Blood Prison God Emperor muttered to himself, "But even if I have a chance at becoming a Domain Master, eternity remains out of reach... If I can obtain the Transcender's inheritance, everything will change."
"It's just a pity... The three peak civilizations will definitely impose restrictions."
He took out a piece of Void Stone and contacted a Lawmaster from a Starry Sky Civilization, "I've made my decision... I will merge the entire Blood Prison Civilization into the Starry Sky Civilization... You can set any conditions, I only ask for a chance to enter the Cinder Secret Realm."
For the sake of strength, he was willing to abandon everything!
There was no mistake, and he immediately sent a message.
Even if it meant selling the civilization that followed him into slavery! Of course, as a fellow Human Civilization, the annexation wouldn't be as difficult.
But with such concessions from a superior being, it was clearly a pipe dream to expect a better citizenship.
"Haha... Blood Prison, you've finally come to your senses, but now... the conditions are hard to fulfill."
A Lawmaster with a small green horn on his head responded with a smile, "You know that once this news gets out... countless Lawmasters will be clamoring to join."
The Blood Prison God Emperor calmly said, "I've already advanced to the fifth-stage Lawmaster!"
"What?"
The Green-Horned Lawmaster was startled, his mouth agape.
However, the Blood Prison God Emperor was already a fourth-stage Lawmaster and had established a civilization, making him an exceptional talent.
Advancing further wasn't impossible.
In fact, any fourth-stage Lawmaster could potentially break through with a flash of insight...
But those who actually succeeded were few and far between.
Everyone knew that enlightenment could lead to a breakthrough, but how difficult was it to attain enlightenment?
"Good, come to the extraterritorial battlefield immediately... We urgently need high-level combat power."
The Green-Horned Lawmaster spoke earnestly, "Blood Prison... the 'Ten Thousand Sword Domain Master' just contacted me. If you join the Starry Sky Civilization, you'll receive the same treatment as Yuemier. Once you obtain the Transcender's inheritance, we will fully support your advancement to Domain Master, or even eternity!"
"Mhm, I'll be there soon."
The Blood Prison God Emperor transformed into a blood-red line and disappeared in an instant...
...
In a galaxy located at the edge of the universe.
Several life-bearing planets were facing an impending catastrophe.
An unimaginable, fleshy, spherical monster was extending its tentacles, grabbing the planets as if they were candies and devouring them.
On those planets, many powerful beings were launching suicidal attacks on the fleshy tentacles to protect their homes, but to no avail.
The terrifying aura shook the universe, and among them were even some Lawmaster Realm powerhouses.
But their only fate was to become food for this flesh-covered planet.
Suddenly!
The flesh-covered planet paused its feeding, and a vast voice resonated, "Transcender—Cinder?"
"Indeed!"
Suddenly, the void trembled slightly, and an invisible door opened, revealing a pitch-black giant beast.
It resembled a lion but had three heads.
"The Three-Headed Domain Master of the Beast Civilization... I've said it before, I only enjoy eating and have no interest in joining any civilization... Your planet is as delicious as the Insect and Human planets."
The giant Star Devourer let out a mocking laugh, "If you don't scram... do you want to taste failure again?"
"Devourer... You've gone too far. If it weren't for the Eternal Ancestor's appreciation, you would've been eliminated by us long ago!"
The Three-Headed Domain Master roared in anger.
This 'Devourer' was a lone traveler in the universe, notorious for devouring life-bearing planets.
Humans, insects, beasts—none were spared, making him a universally despised figure.
Despite being a fifth-stage Lawmaster and skilled in escaping, even Domain Masters couldn't capture him.
Moreover, the Three-Headed Domain Master knew that three million years ago, the Devourer had encountered a fortuitous opportunity and had already reached the sixth stage of Lawmaster!
He was highly favored by the Eternal Ancestor of the Beast Civilization, who wanted to recruit him, but the Devourer had always refused.
"Less talk... You can say more after you defeat me."
The Devourer let out a long laugh.
"The Ancestor asked me to remind you... Do you still remember the vow you made three million years ago?"
The Three-Headed Domain Master forced down his anger and shouted.
"So, it's about that..."
The Devourer laughed, and the flesh-covered planet split open, revealing a massive blood-red mouth that devoured the remaining life-bearing planets, "Yes, I did promise that Ancestor... So this time, I'll help you."
In truth, the Devourer was very clever. He had always stayed outside the three peak civilizations, devouring life-bearing planets in the ungoverned regions.
Moreover, he had implicitly gained the protection of the Eternal Ancestor of the Beast Civilization, allowing him to live freely.
Now, it was time to pay the price!
