Within the cavernous depths of the floating conical mountain, the clone of the Mosha Clan fixed its gaze upon the Spatial Core—a crystalline orb revered as fundamental material for Origin-class treasures, its worth rivaling even lower-tier artifacts such as the Wu Wings. Yet, its surface still shimmered with the outward manifestations of the Five Elements, while spatial fissures ceaselessly flickered into existence and dissolved around it, a clear sign that it had not yet reached full maturity.
“When will it finally mature?” the Mosha Clan clone muttered anxiously.
Give up? He couldn’t bear to.
Wasting time here? Although the core was already formed, it might take up to a thousand years to fully mature—perhaps it could mature immediately or only after a millennium.
“If it’s really for this single Origin-class material, waiting here for a thousand years would be nothing,” the Mosha Clan clone thought to himself. “Alternatively, I could go to the Nine Netherworlds while assigning a soul servant to monitor it here.”
…
Just as Luo Feng hesitated, the towering figure of the alien flew into one of the 10,081 cave entrances on the conical mountain. The cave twisted for hundreds of kilometers, deep and dark. The alien powerhouse’s divine body shrank as he flew through the cave, his serpent tail slightly vibrating, swiftly propelling him deeper into the cavern.
“My Spatial Core, hurry up and mature. I’m getting impatient,” the alien powerhouse’s three hideous faces were filled with anticipation.
Swoosh!
The alien powerhouse shot straight into the mountain’s belly, his divine body rapidly expanding back to its original size. However, the moment he entered the belly of the mountain and grew larger, all three of his faces showed shock… staring in astonishment at one of the ancestral Shen Sect’s immortal inheritors standing at the edge of the Five-Color Pool.
“Inheritor!” The alien elder immediately recognized him as one of the inheritors from the Purple Thorn Isle.
The Mosha Clan had transformed into one of these inheritors, even replicating the aura, so the alien venerable couldn’t detect that it was actually a Mosha Clan clone.
“Hmm?” The Mosha Clan clone suddenly turned his head.
When he saw the Venerable One, his soul nearly fled from his body in terror.
“An entire Cosmic Venerable!” The Mosha Clan clone was startled. The Venerable had approached so silently, concealing his aura so completely that the clone hadn’t even detected his presence.
“Die!” As the Mosha Clan clone turned around, the Venerable One’s three faces became even more grotesque.
Kill!
He was in a terrible mood now because this inheritor had actually come to the conical mountain. Who knew if this inheritor had already sent the information elsewhere? Normally, when encountering such a unique treasure, an inheritor wouldn’t easily spread the news. However, even if he killed the inheritor now, once the inheritor revived in the future, the information might still leak.
“Spirit Control, Annihilate.” The Venerable One abruptly turned his head, one of his faces radiating a sinister emerald glow as his gaze locked onto the Mosha Clan clone, unleashing a soul-dominating technique.
This would prevent any information from leaking out.
The power of void instantly struck the clone of the Mosha Clan.
Like a passing breeze, the Mosha Clan clone remained utterly unperturbed and swiftly dashed toward the Five-Color Pool. In the blink of an eye, it had already positioned itself between the Five-Color Pool and the Spatial Core floating above. Standing there, the clone could sense waves of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth elemental energies continuously surging from beneath its feet, converging into the Spatial Core overhead.
“Alien, if you want to kill me, don’t blame me for self-destructing. You should know what consequences my explosion would bring upon the Five-Color Pool,” the Mosha Clan clone immediately transmitted angrily.
“Stop.”
The Venerable One was startled, his three faces visibly anxious in their eyes.
He knew something was wrong. He had encountered an inheritor who knew about the ‘Five-Color Pool’ and the ‘Spatial Core’. Normally, immortal-level inheritors wouldn’t know the secrets of Origin-class treasures. Moreover, from what this immortal inheritor had said, he clearly understood the Five-Color Pool very well and knew its critical points.
“Don’t self-destruct. Whatever you do, don’t self-destruct,” the Venerable One anxiously urged. Previously, he had opted for soul control rather than directly attacking with divine power—not only to prevent information leakage but also out of concern that excessive divine force might damage the Five-Color Pool.
The Five-Color Pool was a unique environment born in the universe.
A King-Level immortal’s self-destruction could tear space apart, damaging the Five-Color Pool. Although the Five-Color Pool could gradually heal over an extended period, the Spatial Core that had been developing there would no longer be able to absorb energy.
“How is this possible! How could he remain completely unaffected by my soul control? Even if he could resist, how could he show no reaction at all?” the Venerable One thought in distress.
If it were an ordinary inheritor daring to threaten him,
he could simply obliterate their soul.
But this successor was completely unaffected by his soul manipulation, indicating that his soul-obliterating divine power would likewise be futile.
…
At the precise instant the Mosha Clan clone sensed the Venerable One, Luo Feng’s Earthling body, concealed within a cave in a rock face over a billion kilometers away, was equally startled.
“There’s actually an alien Venerable One.”
“No wonder the previous inheritors all died,” Luo Feng frowned slightly. “I’ll leave a token behind. I need to leave here temporarily.”
Without hesitation, Luo Feng immediately tossed a space ring disguised as a rock fragment among the rubble in the cave, then swiftly descended, using a miniature detector to isolate energy fluctuations, and began having his subordinates activate the divine nation teleportation.
A hazy golden light flickered.
The divine nation teleportation had been activated.
Luo Feng took one step forward and instantly traversed to his subordinate’s divine nation, leaving this place.
…
Inside the belly of the floating conical mountain,
The clone of the Mosha Clan hovered between the “Five-Colored Pool” and the “Spatial Core,” staring at the alien Venerable One standing by the edge of the Five-Colored Pool.
Boom!
Suddenly, the gauntlet computer on the Mosha Clan clone’s right arm exploded, and at the same time, a powerful divine force instantly suppressed the clone.
“Successor,” the Venerable One’s earlier anxiety and fury dissipated, replaced by an icy gaze as he stared at the Mosha Clan clone. “For a mere immortal to resist my soul domination—impressive. Yet… you are simply too naive. Did you truly believe your self-destruction could threaten me? Had you detonated the instant I lowered my guard, you might have provoked my wrath. But grant me but a moment, and you shall find not the faintest opportunity to resist—”
Buzz!
Suddenly, a thin, film-like dome formed above the Five-Color Pool, brimming with immense divine power. It was a protective barrier entirely woven from divine energy, steadfastly shielding the Five-Color Pool.
“Even if you truly self-destruct, how could the power of an immortal’s self-destruction possibly breach my divine protection?” The Venerable One brimmed with confidence. “Moreover, I’ve already destroyed your gauntlet’s computer receiver. Haha, the receiver granted to an inheritor by the Guardian Beast God—there should only be one, correct? You don’t have a spare. Now, you won’t be able to enter the Glory World. I can’t decide whether to call you foolish or kind. The moment I first sensed you, I entered the Glory World and have been observing, fearing you might immediately spread the news there. Yet, you didn’t share the information at all.”
The Mosha Clan clone looked at him.
Bound by formidable divine power, the clone of the Mosha Clan remained utterly composed.
“You first destroyed my Glory World sensing receiver and then protected the Five-Color Pool,” the clone smiled. “But do you really think I’m that foolish?”
The Venerable One was slightly taken aback.
A sense of alarm surged in his heart!
He also felt that this inheritor’s behavior was very foolish, but any inheritor was a genius. How could they make such a basic mistake?
“You didn’t connect to the Glory World or spread any messages. If you had, I would have seen you the moment you appeared in the open square,” the Venerable One said.
“You destroyed my Glory World sensing receiver, but I still have the Virtual Universe sensor,” the Mosha Clan clone replied.
“The Virtual Universe, the humans’ Virtual Universe?” The Venerable One was greatly alarmed.
“Smart,” the clone smiled. “The moment I first sensed you, I left numerous message emails in the Virtual Universe and set conditions for sending them: once I disconnect from the Virtual Universe, all emails will be sent out immediately. My friends and the super-powerful experts of my clan will know right away.”
The Venerable One’s three faces became even more grotesque, his teeth grinding together in rage.
Although the Mosha Clan clone had transformed into an alien, not a human, many alien clans in the universe would still plant intelligence networks within the Virtual Universe, no matter the cost. Because in the vast universe, only the Virtual Universe could transmit information across every corner of the cosmos.
Therefore, it was quite normal for alien prodigies to carry ‘anonymous account sensors.’ Perhaps an alien prodigy even controlled a human servant.
“Speak. What do you want?” the Venerable One stared at the Mosha Clan clone.
“Whether I live or die is in your hands. Even if you give me treasures, once you obtain the Spatial Core, you’ll probably kill me immediately. How can I trust you?” the clone replied.
…
The Mosha Clan clone was stalling for time with the Venerable One, deliberately delaying.
In fact, when the clone first detected the Venerable One, his original plan was to immediately dive into the Five-Color Pool below. Luo Feng, through the Virtual Universe, had also learned some secrets about the Five-Color Pool. The Five-Color Pool consisted of five deep abysses. Once the Mosha Clan clone entered one, he would be teleported along the abyss.
However, the Origin Realm would reject Luo Feng, and the clone would be expelled midway through the teleportation channel.
This way, the clone could escape.
This secret of the ‘Five-Colored Pool’ was probably unknown even to most Cosmic Venerables, and the Venerable before him might not comprehend it either.
However—
As Luo Feng executed his plan, the moment the Mosha Clan clone flew above the Five-Color Pool and below the Spatial Core, he immediately changed his mind! Because Luo Feng discovered something that shocked and excited him.
Buzzzzzz~~ The life crystal core inside the Mosha Clan clone’s body vibrated.
The life crystal core also had 10,081 facets, covered with complex spatial law runes. At this moment, the life crystal core seemed to resonate with the Spatial Core above, transmitting strange energies into the life crystal core, causing it to slowly transform. Luo Feng had never heard of such a phenomenon before, but he felt it was beneficial to him.
Both the life crystal core and the Spatial Core had 10,081 facets.
Both could resonate with the spatial law ocean of the Origin Realm, though their power levels differed—one small, one great. The life crystal core’s resonance enhanced the clone’s perception of spatial laws by dozens of times. The legendary ‘Spatial Core,’ as a high-grade material, could increase divine power absorption speed by tens of thousands of times once crafted into an Origin-class treasure.
Their volumes also differed—one small, one large.
Their qualities were vastly different.
A Life Crystal Core at the World Lord level could be easily destroyed by an immortal, while the Spatial Core was an indestructible Origin-class treasure material.
Life crystal core, Spatial Core…
Yet when the Mosha Clan clone appeared beneath the Spatial Core, strange changes began occurring. Energy flowed between the two crystal cores (life crystal core and Spatial Core) through resonance, continuously entering the life crystal core.
…
Due to this transformation, the Mosha Clan clone continued to stall with the Venerable One.
“Cursed successor, speak! What exactly do you desire? Offer a flawless resolution!” The Venerable One’s three faces twisted grotesquely as he bellowed in unison, his triple voices reverberating through the mountain’s belly.
“Let me think,” the Mosha Clan clone frowned.
