584: The first Hongmeng universe!

Suddenly, two suspended doors appeared in the Void Realm in front of them!

These were two incredibly ancient light doors; the left one was carved with a coiling five-clawed True Dragon, its scales clearly visible, emanating a majestic Dragon's might.

The right light door bore the illusionary image of a Golden Kui Cow, its hooves trampling thunder, its horns propping up the sky, carrying the weighty aura of the primordial era.

At a glance, it was clear these were Legacies exclusive to the two of them!

Little Green lay motionless on a nearby crack, seemingly glancing at the light doors before disdainfully closing its eyes.

Evidently, it also recognized this as a place of Bloodline Legacy, and seeing no danger, it was too lazy to get up.

"Go!"

Lu Xiaolong charged forward with a single shout.

Stubborn Ox naturally hurried to follow.

Lu Xiaolong was the first to step into the Dragon-patterned light door.

As soon as he entered, he was enveloped by endless golden Dragon Flames.

The Dragon Flames were extremely hot, yet they didn't burn him; instead, they seeped into his body through his pores, nourishing his Dragon Blood.

"Mmm... so comfortable!"

He groaned comfortably, but the next instant, a tearing pain suddenly erupted in his body!

The Dragon Flames entanglement around him instantly became violent, as if they wanted to reforge his muscles and bones!

It was an excruciating pain, like tendons being pulled and bones being dislocated!

And it acted directly upon his Divine Soul, with no way to avoid it; he could only endure it!

Lu Xiaolong involuntarily revealed his true form; a ten-thousand-zhang giant Dragon appeared in mid-air, writhing frantically and continuously letting out heart-wrenching Dragon roars.

In the vision, his body began to convulse, and the scales on his Dragon horns constantly fell off and were reborn, but each Rebirth was harder and more resplendent than before.

After an unknown amount of time, his consciousness sank into a state of Chaos, and countless True Dragon illusions appeared before his eyes—there were Ying Dragons riding clouds and mist, and Flood Dragons overturning rivers and seas—finally, all the illusions converged into an ancient voice:

"I am the remnant soul of an ancient True Dragon, having awaited the inheritor of the True Dragon Bloodline for thirty thousand years... This is the True Dragon Burning Heaven Art, capable of summoning the Nine Heavens Dragon Flames to incinerate all things..."

As soon as the voice fell, countless golden runes surged into Lu Xiaolong's Sea of Consciousness; his body suddenly lit up with light, transforming into a ten-thousand-zhang long golden True Dragon, its roar shaking the Void Realm, its Dragon scales shimmering with a glazed luster in the flames.

Clearly, Lu Xiaolong had passed the Legacy trial and obtained the True Dragon's Legacy!

On the other side, after Stubborn Ox stepped into the Kui Cow light door, a scene of a primordial battlefield instantly appeared before his eyes.

Evil Qi filled the sky, rushing towards him, and countless giant beasts roared as they charged; at the very front was a Golden Kui Cow, with lightning coiling around its horns and flames under its hooves—it was the illusionary image of his ancestor.

"I am the ancestor of the Golden Kui Cow clan. The Legacy requires passing three trials: Lightning Tribulation Body Forging, Evil Qi Heart Refining, and War Drum Spirit Communication!"

With an angry roar from the ancestor's illusion, Nine Heavens Lightning Tribulation crashed down, striking Stubborn Ox's body. He grunted, but gritted his teeth, refusing to retreat; the Golden Kui Cow Bloodline Awakened in the lightning, and fine golden scales appeared on the surface of his skin.

For the second trial, endless Evil Qi transformed into illusions that continuously assailed Stubborn Ox's mind, but he guarded his true self and forcefully broke through the illusions.

For the third trial, he gripped the bronze war drum left by his ancestor with both hands. The moment the drumstick fell, the drum sound echoed through the Void Realm like thunder, surprisingly stirring a faint resonance deep within the Land of Exile.

Finally, the ancestor's illusion transformed into a golden stream of light and merged into his body. A ten-thousand-zhang tall Kui Cow illusion appeared behind Stubborn Ox; cracks spread as he stomped the ground, and the lightning on his horns crackled.

When the two emerged from the doors, their faces were filled with unconcealable ecstasy.

Just as Lu Xiaolong was about to boast about his new power, his expression suddenly changed, and a hint of confusion flashed in his Dragon eyes:

"Stubborn Ox, did you feel it too?"

Stubborn Ox nodded gravely, his heavy breathing accompanied by the hum of thunder:

"A power is calling me, it seems to be very, very far away, but it makes my heart itch with desire."

"Me too!"

Lu Xiaolong scratched his head, his small body hopping:

"That power feels so familiar, it seems to be of immense benefit to me. Shall we go check it out?"

Stubborn Ox, however, shook his head vigorously, stomping his hooves on the ground:

"No! We must find Revered Master first. What if something goes wrong? Revered Master is well-traveled and knowledgeable, he will surely know what this situation is. If we run off on our own, Revered Master will get angry again."

The two exchanged glances, then both nodded, reaching a consensus.

They then prepared to wake Little Green to leave together. Just at this moment, an unexpected change occurred!

The entire Land of Exile suddenly trembled, and an indescribably terrifying power descended out of nowhere!

That power was formless and intangible, yet vast and boundless, returning to its true nature, carrying a supreme Heavenly Dao majesty.

Lu Hao, outside the vision, felt a pang in his heart just by looking at the illusion of this power.

He was absolutely no match for this power!

No wonder... no wonder it was so difficult for him to trace back this period of time; it turned out this power was isolating it!

"Roar!"

Little Green reacted extremely quickly; Lu Hao's command still echoed in its mind.

It instantly erupted with an incomparably brilliant divine light, attempting to stabilize this power.

But what Lu Hao never expected was that even Little Green, strong as it was, could only protect Lu Xiaolong and Stubborn Ox, keeping them safe, but it couldn't stabilize their figures.

Finally, under an irresistible suction force, Lu Xiaolong and Stubborn Ox's figures were swept into the deepest part of the Land of Exile, and their aura completely disappeared from this place forever!

"Roar—!"

Little Green let out an extremely furious roar; it remembered Lu Hao's command to protect the two!

Without the slightest hesitation, it also plunged into the depths of the Land of Exile! The Land of Exile instantly bloomed with an incomparably terrifying dark green color, stirring up all of space and time.

But in the next instant, that terrifying power vanished completely, as if it had never been there.

Just then, in the rapidly shattering vision, a mental fluctuation suddenly crossed the barrier of space and time, accurately entering Lu Hao's mind!

It was the information left by Little Green!

"Revered Master... First Hongmeng Universe..."

Crash!

The vision completely shattered.

Lu Hao stood rooted to the spot, silent.

Mu Siyuan and the others behind him had long been scared out of their wits by the scene in the vision just now.

"Revered Master... that power... what exactly was it...?"

Yin Xiaotong's voice was trembling.

"I have never seen it."

Lu Hao slowly shook his head.

Mu Siyuan also said:

"Among the Immortals of the Upper Realm that I know, not one possesses such terrifying power."

A deep sense of powerlessness surged in his heart.

His strength was still not enough! He should still be more low-key for now; perhaps things would be better once he achieved Immortal Ascension.

As for Lu Xiaolong and Stubborn Ox... Lu Hao looked up at the void not far away and murmured:

"The First Hongmeng Universe, huh? Wait for me, I will come to find you sooner or later. With Little Green there, your safety is not an issue..."
