Chapter 555: Descent

Deep within the mist-enshrouded heights of Yuxiang Mountain, two figures stood in the void, gazing downward with differing expressions.

“Haha, Yanboluo, thank you for your Golden Horn Boundary Stone. My disciple’s weapon is now secured,” the three-eyed man laughed, glancing at Yanboluo to gauge his reaction.

“So that young fellow actually won?” Yanboluo gazed downward, his brows furrowed. “His mental pressure was incredibly strong.”

“Don’t change the subject!” the three-eyed man chuckled. “Are you planning to go back on your word?”

“Rest assured, I will give you the Golden Horn Boundary Stone,” Yanboluo replied reluctantly. This was no ordinary metal found in the cosmos. Though the Red-Hued Copper Mother was an extremely valuable metal, even the master of Yimo Star, Huyan Bo, could construct an entire spacecraft using vast quantities of it.

But the Golden Horn Boundary Stone? Only one such stone could be born from a fully matured Golden Horn Colossal Beast. If the beast perished in its infancy, there would be no stone at all.

The entire universe combined wouldn’t yield enough Golden Horn Boundary Stones to build even a single spacecraft.

They were like diamonds compared to soil.

“I just can’t figure out how that young fellow’s mental pressure became so formidable,” Yanboluo muttered.

“Perhaps his brain domain is naturally vast, or he experienced some unique encounter that allowed his soul to evolve,” the three-eyed man mused with a smile. “After all, the universe is vast and full of mysteries. There’s much we don’t know. Encountering someone whose soul has evolved, whose mental strength has surged, is rare but not unheard of in cosmic history.”

Yanboluo shook his head and glared at the three-eyed man. “You’ve made a killing.”

“Haha, don’t blame me. Blame your own clan’s young prodigy. His willpower was rather mediocre. If his will had been strong enough, he could have remained lucid,” the three-eyed man laughed.

Yanboluo paused, then nodded. “Indeed, his willpower was lacking.”

The mind is like an army of countless soldiers, while willpower is the general!

When Luo Feng traversed the Sea of Illusions, each island he conquered subjected him to immense mental pressure!

The ninth island was so treacherous that even Sovereign-level powerhouses struggled to conquer it.
