Lu Ming opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing within them. He stood up and looked at the virtual environment outside.
Ahead of the spaceship, the monotonous dark universe scene disappeared, replaced by an incredibly awe-inspiring starry sky—countless black whirlwinds, resembling giant pythons, were howling, entangled, and frolicking in the starry sky, stretching for billions of miles, exuding a terrifying aura of destruction!
We've arrived at the Ancestral Mystic Realm!
Those black gusts of wind are the dangers commonly found in the Ancestral Mystic Realm – the “Black Tornado Whirlwind”!
Even a supreme being of the universe would be in danger of perishing if caught in it!
"finally reached……"
Lu Ming took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement.
"Xiao Lei, Qing Yuan, get ready, we're... ashore!"
"This is the legendary Ancestral Mystic Realm."
Looking at the Black Tornado whirlwind outside through the virtual reality, which resembled countless giant black pythons frolicking and crisscrossing, Lu Ming was filled with awe. Even though he had already learned about it from the information, seeing it with his own eyes was still breathtaking.
The Ancestral Mystic Realm is one of the most dangerous cosmic mystic realms, its size comparable to a cosmic kingdom. Danger lurks at every turn, and even cosmic venerables who venture into it may perish.
Mysterious! Dangerous! Do not enter!
Qingyuan controlled the spaceship to begin decelerating, and finally came to a steady stop at the inheritance coordinates.
The hatch opened, and Lu Ming stepped out, hovering in the starry sky, casually putting away the Qingyuan spaceship.
He stood at the coordinate point, gazing at the countless black whirlwinds chasing each other in the distance, exuding an aura of destruction, and waited quietly.
Before long, the tranquil void around them suddenly began to distort.
"coming."
Lu Ming remained expressionless, letting the distorted space engulf him like a vortex.
Space teleportation!
The scene before him instantly became clear; he was now in another void.
In the distance, a vast, endless, and breathtakingly beautiful colorful river surges and roars, exuding a magical power that seems to draw the soul into its depths.
This is the Five-Colored Aurora Lake, the most precious treasure of the Ancestral God Sect!
With Lu Ming's will honed through countless battles, the influence of this naturally emanating illusion was negligible.
"Good will."
A cold voice sounded.
Lu Ming looked up and saw a giant nearly a hundred meters tall that had appeared in the void beside him.
He wore black armor stained with blood, his bare skin covered with brown fur, and he looked somewhat like an ape, but his face was covered with blood-red patterns, and he had two ferocious curved horns on his head.
"The Blood-Striped Titans, the overlords of the universe."
Lu Ming immediately recognized the other party's background and approximate strength.
As far as he knew, the official members of the Ancestral God Cult were divided into four levels: Ancestral God, Beast God, Divine General, and Divine Envoy. The person in front of him should be a Divine General.
"I am the guide of the Ancestral God Cult."
The Blood-Patterned Titan looked at Lu Ming indifferently.
"Humans, produce the Beast God's Inheritance Token. Those who trespass on the sacred grounds of my Ancestral God Cult without the token shall die!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying aura pressed down on him as if it were a tangible force, as if it were going to completely suppress Lu Ming.
With a thought, Lu Ming flipped his hand and took out the dark red token that was filled with flames and spatial runes—the Fire Sky Beast God Inheritance Token!
Upon seeing the token, the Blood-Patterned Titan's expression softened slightly, revealing a smile: "Since you possess the Beast God's Inheritance Token, you are the inheritor... qualified to enter. Follow me."
Chapter 65 Guardian Beast God
He flew ahead, with Lu Ming close behind.
Pointing to the vast, multicolored aurora lake, the Blood-Patterned Titan Clan Venerable proudly introduced the power of this supreme treasure of the domain to Lu Ming, showcasing the foundation of the Ancestral God Sect as the number one power in the universe.
Then, he teleported directly with Lu Ming and flew into the interior of the Five-Colored Aurora Lake.
Upon entering the area of the Five-Colored Aurora Lake, one immediately feels an omnipresent sense of constraint, making teleportation impossible.
The Blood-Patterned Titan Venerable pointed to the depths of the Five-Colored Aurora Lake: "Do you see it? Purple Thorn Island is right there."
Lu Ming looked in the direction he pointed, and under the endless, dazzling aurora, he could vaguely see the outline of a huge island.
"Fly over."
"The guide said, and then flew forward first. Lu Ming followed closely behind."
Fortunately, Zijing Island is located on the outermost edge of the Five-Colored Aurora Lake, and it is not far away.
After flying for a short while, the two passed through layers of aurora and landed on the edge of the island.
Bauhinia Island, with a diameter of millions of kilometers, is surrounded by a tranquil area with no aurora borealis for tens of thousands of kilometers.
call out!call out!
Two streaks of light landed on the island; they were none other than the Blood-Patterned Titan Clan Venerable and Lu Ming.
Lu Ming stood on the island and looked out. In the distance, on the land and mountains, countless palaces of different styles were densely packed, stretching to the horizon.
At the same time, he could sense powerful auras emanating from the countless palaces, some strong, some weak, and from various races. These were the inheritors of the beast gods from various races who had gathered on Purple Thorn Island over countless ages!
Since the birth of the universe, countless geniuses and powerful individuals have come to this place with the Beast God's Inheritance Token.
Although many inheritors have perished, the number of survivors is still astronomical, measured in hundreds of millions!
It's far more than the total number of Kings and Venerables in the entire Hong Alliance!
"There are so many inheritors..."
Looking at this sea of palaces scattered like stars, Lu Ming couldn't help but feel awe.
This is truly the place where the elites of all races in the universe gather!
The number one power in the universe, truly deserving of the title.
"There are some rules that need to be explained in advance to those who inherit human legacy."
The Blood-Patterned Titan turned to Lu Ming.
"The Inheritance Token is linked to the life of its holder. If you perish, the token will shatter and can no longer be used by anyone else."
"Even if your race's universe lord reverses time and resurrects you, you will lose the qualification to return to the Ancestral God Cult. Unless... you can obtain a new inheritance token."
Lu Ming nodded calmly. He naturally understood that even the Lord of the Universe would have to pay a huge price to retrieve a Beast God Inheritance Token from the River of Time.
Once lost, it can never be regained.
As the two were talking, they arrived at a winding mountain range.
The Blood-Veined Titan Venerable pointed to an empty mountain ridge: "This is your residence. Remember, each palace must not occupy more than one kilometer of land. Even the massive demon race with divine bodies must obediently shrink their size."
Seeing that Lu Ming understood, the Venerable One added, "You can set up a token in the hall, and then you can be directly teleported here from the Divine Kingdom. This Purple Thorn Island will be your residence for a long time to come, provided that you can live to see that time."
"If you have a soul servant with you, remember not to take him out of the palace."
His tone was serious.
"The Five-Colored Aurora Lake will instantly annihilate it! Subsidiary life forms such as plant life and metal life will be unharmed."
After explaining the basic rules, the Venerable One led Lu Ming and flew towards the higher reaches of the mountain range.
Soon, a magnificent palace came into view, its halls stretching for thousands of kilometers, exuding an awe-inspiring presence.
"That is the island lord's palace. Please come with me to pay your respects."
As the Blood-Striped Titan spoke, he suddenly pointed to the sky.
"look."
Lu Ming looked up and, through the gaps in the Five-Colored Aurora Lake, he could vaguely see a magnificent palace standing at the core, surrounded by eight smaller palaces like stars around the moon.
"That is the core of the Ancestral God Sect."
The Venerable One's tone was filled with longing.
"The largest one is the Ancestral God Palace, the residence of the three Ancestral Gods. The eight surrounding buildings are the Eight Directions Beast God Temples, and the outermost one is the Guardian Beast God Temple..."
He meticulously recounted the structure of the Ancestral God Sect: the 72 God General Continents and the 3000 God Envoy Worlds, his tone filled with pride.
“Besides these core areas, there are many islands scattered throughout Aurora Lake, inhabited by peripheral members.”
The Venerable One added at the end.
Lu Ming silently noted down this information.
He knew that those powerful individuals who were close to the complete lineage, even if they did not obtain a formal rank, were all absorbed into the Ancestral God Sect as peripheral members.
"The master of Zijing Island is a guardian beast god."
As the Venerable One spoke, he led Lu Ming to the plaza in front of the island lord's palace.
The plaza was carved out of the entire mountain peak, and three fountains flowed ceaselessly, yet the ground remained perpetually dry.
"Go in. My mission ends here."
After speaking, the Blood-Veined Titan transformed into a stream of light and disappeared into the aurora.
Lu Ming straightened his robes and stepped into the hall. After passing through the long front hall, a man with blue hair and a black robe was waiting in the central courtyard.
"Human inheritors?"
The man greeted them with a smile.
“That’s quite rare. I am the island lord’s attendant, in charge of communication.”
Lu Ming calmly returned the greeting.
In a world where countless races wage war against each other, it is not uncommon for humanity to be enslaved by other races.
"I have come to pay homage to the guardian beast god."
Lu Ming explained his purpose.
"You've come at the perfect time; the island lord is free right now."
