Swallowed Star (All Chapters) Volume 7

Chapter 1219: The Clans

Flying through the crimson waves, one could feel how distorted time and space were. There was a feeling of flying through the universe tunnel.

Hua!

There was a flash of light.

Before him was a hall faintly enshrouded by a light, white mist. The material of the hall was the same as that of the passageway of the Boat of Mausoleum, and the various materials within the cabins were all suffused with a deep grey. Inside the hall, there was Deer Bug Master, Shadow Dust Master, Jittery Sea Master, Liu Jiu Master, and another four universe masters. All eight of them turned over to look.

Sou!

Luo Feng flew over right away.

"Milky Way Horde Leader, you have cultivated for only a dozen eras, which is extremely short, and you dare to come here!" Deer Bug Master laughed.

"We were just discussing whether Milky Way would come or not..." Shadow Dust Master said with a very kind look. "If I were you, with this being the primal universe and with doomsday still two reincarnation eras away, I would still be able to live for so long. So long. With such a short cultivation period but such great achievement, there is no need for you to come and fight it out with us. Actually, you can still make a full retreat now."

"Since I have come, I will not back away," Luo Feng said casually.

"Humph! Being here is the same as courting death," Jittery Sea Master said, shooting Luo Feng a hostile look.

"Since our junior here wants to die, there is no need to bother about him," Red Lark Master also said in a hostile tone. The skeleton clan was originally a crazy and cold race. They were only united among their kind; they treated the rest of the world with equal enmity. Especially Luo Feng, who has such a high achievement even though he had only cultivated for a dozen eras. For him, there was an additional trace of jealousy.

Actually, out of everyone present, Shadow Dust Master, Sorcerer Sprite Master, and Red Lark Master—who had chosen to try their luck and take the risk in coveting the inheritance—were the ones who hated Luo Feng the most!

They were well aware that the selection of an heir normally placed much emphasis on areas such as improvement, speed, and comprehension level. One had cultivated for a dozen eras, and another had cultivated for close to three reincarnation eras, yet their achievements were comparable. Who would Duan Dong River choose? It was needless to say! Now, they could only hope that the methods that Duan Dong River left behind were unable to determine how long a great being had lived. Yet they all felt that Duan Dong River was too unfathomable, so they were full of uncertainty when it came to him. More of them prayed that Luo Feng would back out as early as possible.

When all nine of them, including Luo Feng, had gathered in that misty hall and were all engaged in a heated exchange of sarcastic remarks, an intangible energy suddenly started to gather by their side. Eventually, it gave form to a figure. This was the green-haired man, Duan Dong River.

"All nine have arrived." Duan Dong River's gaze swept across the nine great beings, and he nodded. "Let's begin with the first round of selection."

"Selection?"

Deer Bug Master, Shadow Dust Master, and Luo Feng all felt knots within their chests. No one dared to claim that he would be able to pass the selection.

"Rise!" Duan Dong River pointed at the somewhere far on the ground of the hall.

Hua!

The ground suddenly split in half. Then a strange machine gradually emerged from beneath. It was entirely dark red in color. On its surface were many secret engravings of various laws. The secret engravings were so mystical that they made every great being present go dizzy due to a lack of understanding.
