, Stage 2

As endless black light burst forth atop the stone tower on the surface of the Death Star, Li Che stomped his foot on the ground without hesitation and plunged directly into the tower.

The moment he entered the stone tower, Li Che felt a strange change in space and time beneath his feet. At that moment, he seemed to have traveled billions of light-years and arrived in a sublime void.

Deep in the void, one can see thirty-two celestial bodies, each shimmering with dark light, slowly rotating. Their aura is like that of black holes, yet they are even more profound and mysterious than ordinary black holes.

Is this what they call black light?

Whispering to himself, Li Che gradually approached the thirty-two mysterious celestial bodies, only to discover that each celestial body contained a huge palace, like a crouching behemoth, exhaling boundless power of laws.

"brush!"

Seeing this, Li Che did not hesitate to leap into one of the palaces.

Immediately afterwards, Li Che saw the black light on the palace converge, forming a series of mysterious characters.

It wasn't a universal language used by humans, but rather a secret rune that seemed to be in harmony with and govern the fundamental laws of the universe. Even though Li Che had never learned it, he could understand it naturally.

"Since its inception, the Blacklight Heritage Forbidden Grounds have included 156549 individuals who have entered the Heritage Temple and are qualified to receive the Blacklight Heritage..."

With his knowledge of information as a transmigrator and the previous explanation from the Lord of False Gold, Li Che quickly read through the standard opening remarks of the Black Light Inheritance Site.

He was particularly interested in the details of how to acquire the knowledge and skills for inheritance.

As life ascends the ladder, it is automatically enveloped by the "black light" within the temple. This black light contains the "Ultimate Black Light Secret Technique," which includes two parts: the basic technique and the black light secret technique itself.

The most common one is the basic version, which is an extremely complex and sublime secret technique for body amplitude that can enable practitioners to obtain a higher level of power.

For example, once flesh-and-blood life forms in the universe have mastered their physical bodies to the point where their power generation skills are 100 times stronger than brute force, they have almost no way to increase their base strength multiplier.

However, the body vibration technique can further enhance the amplitude by 100 times, reaching an even higher level.

This is not an improvement at the genetic level, but an enhancement under the blessing of secret techniques. With perfect mastery of the physical body, every unit increase in body amplitude is equivalent to doubling the power.

In this universe, the theoretical limit of the body amplitude secret technique is 100.

When applied to flesh and blood, the limit of its power is to increase it another 100 times on top of the original 100 times, reaching a terrifying 10000 times!

The same principle applies to other life forms.

Li Che stepped onto the inheritance staircase of the Black Light Temple.

"Since my teacher, senior brother Liuhai, and Venerable Jiufeng all believe that I am very compatible with this lineage, I wonder how far I can ultimately go."

"boom!"

As Li Che took his first step, he felt an immense pressure descend from the sky, crashing down on his head like a mountain.

At the same time, a massive amount of information flooded into Li Che's mind like a tidal wave.

It is the "Ultimate Black Light Secret Technique"!

However, following the instructions of the "Ultimate Black Light Secret Technique," Li Che easily blocked the pressure of the first step with just a tremor of his whole body.

Immediately afterwards, Li Che took a second step and, once again, withstood the attack head-on.

Then comes the third, fourth, fifth...

According to the original description of the Demonic Sound God General, Li Che was very clear about the essence of these God General inheritances, which was to find the life whose physical body and soul were most compatible with this inheritance, help them complete the transformation, and become a new God General candidate.

Compatibility is the most important thing in the inheritance of divine generals.

Many immortal gods at the king level came to receive the divine general's inheritance, but some did not go as far as a mere realm lord.

This is the difference caused by the gap in compatibility.

Li Che clearly had a very good compatibility with this Black Light God General.

He felt that he hadn't even exerted much effort; in just over three years, he had already climbed 3333 steps and reached another brand-new hall deep within the main hall.

At this point, Li Che's body amplitude had reached 33 times, and with the addition of 10 times the gene level, he could reach 330 times the power of a peak world lord.

If all ten avatars of the Infinite Land were added to one's body, that would be more than 3300 times the power of a peak Realm Lord.

This is already close to the basic power of a mid-level Marquis-level immortal god.

"Successor, you have successfully passed the first stage of the Blacklight God General's inheritance and become a Selector."

A magnificent sound rang out from the brand-new hall. The black light in front of the hall faded, and Li Che immediately saw two objects emitting light on the stone platform in front of him.

A fruit and a weapon.

The fruit has a peculiar appearance, resembling a crystal-clear, soft, translucent water sphere. It is a translucent bluish-green color, and its surface is covered with dense, mysterious patterns, making it look quite extraordinary.

Li Che had never seen it before, but upon seeing the fruit, as a living being of flesh and blood, he instinctively felt an urge to swallow it.

He looked up and saw mysterious characters representing laws emerging in the void.

The Fruit of the Rooster God is a special fruit produced in a certain secret realm of the universe. It can improve the genetic level of life forms of flesh, plants, rocks, and metals, up to about 3 times.

Of course, immortal gods can also use it, but the limit of improvement is still 3 times the genes.

Something that can improve the genetic level?

After a moment's thought, Li Che simply picked up the strange, bluish-purple fruit and put it into his world ring.

His current genetic level has reached 10 times, so the You Shen Fruit is naturally of little use to him anymore.

However, such fruits are quite popular among humans.

Then, Li Che looked at the weapon again.

Li Che had seen this item in the points shop before; it was the divine weapon "Zhuoyu Staff," and its price there seemed to be 140 million points...

After a moment's thought, Li Che put away the Zhuoyu Cudgel. Although it wasn't his favorite spear style, it was still usable and was much more advanced than his Dark Sea Spear.

He then continued forward across the new palace without hesitation, directly initiating the second phase of the inheritance.

The moment Li Che took the 3334th step, he felt the pressure emanating from the stairs suddenly increase, becoming much stronger than on the 3333rd floor.

However, Li Che assimilated the pressure from the "black light" by using the secret techniques recorded in the basic chapter of "Ultimate Black Light Secret Technique".

He strode forward, and although his pace had slowed considerably since the first phase, his steps remained firm thanks to his compatibility with the Black Light God General.

4000 floors... 4500 floors... 5000 floors... 5500 floors...

It wasn't until he reached the 6600th floor that Li Che felt an unprecedented sense of oppression from the sudden increase in pressure. It was as if his compatibility with the Black Light God General was no longer sufficient, making it difficult to continue forward.

But Li Che gritted his teeth and persevered, continuing forward even as he was drenched in cold sweat.

Floor 6601, Floor 6602...

When Li Che finally crossed the 6666th floor, he finally felt his feet lighten and entered the second palace.

"15449th successor, you have completed the second stage of succession and become a senior successor."

That mysterious and magnificent voice rang out again, but one could hear that the originally indifferent voice now clearly contained more emotion.

Immediately afterwards, the black light faded, and two more treasures appeared in front of Li Che.

It was still just a fruit and a weapon.

That fruit was clearly more wondrous than the previous Deity Fruit. It was a deep blood red, and the primordial runes on its surface flowed, seemingly constructing various life forms.

From the mysterious inscriptions left inside the palace, Li Che deduced the origin of this fruit.

The Crimson Fruit, also a magical fruit from a special cosmic secret realm, has a simple function: to increase the volume of flesh and blood life forms while simultaneously enhancing the soul.

"Increase volume? Elevate the soul?"

Li Che stared at the blood-red fruit for a moment, then swallowed it whole.

"Glug!"

As soon as the fruit entered his stomach, Li Che immediately felt a strong, special cosmic energy seep into his body. The scorching energy temperature definitely exceeded 5000℃, but it had no effect on Li Che's body as a realm master.

He could clearly feel that special cosmic energy instantly merging into his body and soul.

It can indeed enhance the soul, but unfortunately, my Black Light Secret Technique is not a soul amplitude type, but a body amplitude type, so the enhancement of the soul has little effect on receiving the inheritance.

After temporarily gathering and suppressing that special cosmic energy, Li Che took a deep breath and looked at the other reward in the second stage.

It is also a divine weapon, but its level of value is much higher than the previous one. Its surface has extremely complex law patterns, so complex that even Li Che in his current state cannot see through them.

Li Che wasn't quite sure of the weapon's value at first glance, but based on his visual assessment, he felt it was a divine weapon that only a peak-level King-level expert could use.

Unfortunately, the weapon was in the form of a dagger, a type of short weapon that Li Che did not like.

After putting away the divine weapon, Li Che left the temple without hesitation and continued on his way.

As he expected, the moment he stepped onto the 6667th floor, Li Che felt an intense pressure that almost suffocated him.

Fortunately, it's still bearable.

Floors 6667, 6668, 6669... With each step he took, Li Che could feel an intense majesty coming from all directions. The pain brought by the originally gentle "black light" became more and more intense, shaking him to the point that he almost lost consciousness.

When he reached the 6700th floor, Li Che had a feeling that this was probably the limit of his compatibility with the Black Light God General.

Not long after he stepped onto the 6701st floor, he fully realized that his secret technique had reached its limit.
