“I clearly know my own strength,” the Mosha Clan clone said to the alien Venerable standing by the edge of the colorful pool. “I have no ambition to seize the Spatial Core, but I also don’t want to perish. However, now I don’t know how I can trust you not to kill me.”
The alien Venerable’s three faces twisted slightly, and he abruptly declared, “Let us apply to form the same exploration team. Once we register as teammates, killing each other is strictly forbidden. Violators will face relentless pursuit by the Ancestral God Sect.”
“No, no, no. Don’t you, Venerable, forget that my Glory World Detector has already been damaged,” the Mosha Clan clone looked at him.
“Cursed!” The alien Venerable couldn’t help but roar.
This won’t work, that won’t work. What should be done?
“Venerable, if you can propose a plan that can guarantee my survival, then I will definitely not leak the information out, and I’m even willing to stay by your side before the Spatial Core fully forms, under your watch,” the Mosha Clan clone said.
…
While verbally stalling with the alien Venerable, the Mosha Clan clone’s thoughts were almost entirely focused internally.
The Life Crystal Core and the Spatial Core.
One small, one large.
One has low energy merely at the peak of World Lord level, while the other has immense energy sufficient to become the core of a supreme treasure.
One is an ordinary life within the Mosha Clan, while the other is the origin of the colorful abyss, absorbing the energy of the fundamental realm over a long period of time before finally forming.
“Buzz!” “Buzz!”
They resonated with each other.
Wave after wave of energy continuously flowed into the Life Crystal Core. These were the essence of the Spatial Core, the refined essence accumulated over an extended period, the foundation of its being a supreme treasure. Yet now, this essence continuously flowed into the Life Crystal Core, with each wave of energy surpassing all the energy originally contained within the Life Crystal Core.
The Life Crystal Core expanded! Contracted! Expanded! Contracted!
Almost every expansion and contraction brought about a qualitative transformation. Every second, the Life Crystal Core underwent fundamental changes.
It was constantly evolving…
The true foundation of the Mosha Clan was the ‘Life Crystal Core.’ Back then, when Luo Feng cultivated his clone, the Mosha Clan clone was born from that very Life Crystal Core. In theory, reaching the peak of World Lord level was the limit, with no further improvement possible unless one broke through to become an immortal god. Yet now, the Life Crystal Core was continuously evolving, representing a leap in life’s hierarchy.
It was similar to how Luo Feng cultivated the ‘Nine Calamities Secret Manual,’ enabling his Earth human main body and the Gold Horned Giant Beast clone to keep improving beyond the peak of World Lord level.
It was the same now.
Humans had ways to enhance their life’s genetic lineage, such as using ‘Blood-Lotus Crystals’ (Beast God’s blood), among many other methods. The universe was fair. In fact, the Mosha Clan also had opportunities to elevate their life’s hierarchy. However, the Mosha Clan faced greater difficulty and more stringent conditions for such elevation. Combined with the rarity of the Mosha Clan in the universe, the secret of this transformation was known only to the Mosha Clan’s upper echelons, with very few super-powerful beings of other races in the universe being aware of it.
“Swish, swish, swish~~” The Life Crystal Core kept transforming, the energy within it that could take countless forms continuously undergoing qualitative improvement.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
It was as if a flood had broken through a dam, with the Spatial Core’s essence, accumulated over countless eons, continuously flowing in. Especially after the Life Crystal Core transformed and its capacity increased, the energy being transmitted became stronger and stronger. The Life Crystal Core kept expanding and contracting, transforming. Gradually, a golden glowing secret pattern slowly appeared within the Life Crystal Core, as if an artist were drawing it stroke by stroke. With each stroke… the secret pattern grew more numerous. The more energy was transmitted and absorbed, the faster the secret pattern accelerated, and an incredibly complex secret pattern gradually took shape.
The Life Crystal Core already had secret patterns of its own. Now, a second set of secret patterns emerged, even more complex than the first.
…
Feeling the continuous transformation within, the Mosha Clan clone was filled with joy internally, yet on the surface, he continued to verbally spar with the alien Venerable.
“Fine, since it’s like this, then—” the alien Venerable had just begun to speak when he suddenly looked up in shock at the space above the Mosha Clan clone.
The Mosha Clan clone also sensed the anomaly above and looked up.
Both of them watched as the 10,081 spatial rifts that had originally surrounded the Spatial Core vanished permanently after dissolving, without reappearing.
“Hmm?” Luo Feng immediately noticed that the Spatial Core’s interior was subtly pulsating with energy. If the Spatial Core had been extremely solid after eons of sedimentation before, it had now become unstable after losing a significant amount of energy. It was like a full bottle that doesn’t shake but a half-full one that does—now, with less energy, its aura had become even more imposing.
“The spatial rifts have disappeared?” The alien Venerable looked at the Spatial Core, which was now emitting energy and pressure, and his three hideous faces broke into ecstatic expressions. “It has matured! Finally matured! Hahaha! The Spatial Core is mine. There’s no need to waste words with this annoying inheritor anymore.”
Swoosh!
The alien Venerable shot forward directly, reaching out to seize the Spatial Core.
“Crack!” The Spatial Core suddenly trembled, and a crack instantly appeared on its crystalline surface, causing the alien Venerable to shudder in fear, staring in shock at the Spatial Core.
“What’s going on? This, this, this…” The alien Venerable stared at the Spatial Core. He had merely gathered some information about the Spatial Core but had never actually seen a real one, nor did he have any experience witnessing its transformation firsthand. Thus, he was momentarily confused and puzzled. He felt instinctively that the true maturation shouldn’t be like this, yet the spatial rifts had indeed disappeared, which was proof of its maturity.
“Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack~~”
A second crack appeared on the crystal’s surface, followed by a third, and more cracks continued to form.
“No, no…” The alien Venerable grew anxious but was powerless to stop it.
In the blink of an eye, the once 10,081-faceted spherical crystal was now covered in countless cracks. Then, a terrifying surge of energy erupted violently. In an instant, the energy radiating from the Spatial Core became overwhelmingly powerful, as if it had become a sun, illuminating the entire cavern. This caused the alien Venerable to momentarily feel puzzled and slightly hopeful: “Could it be destruction before rebirth? This energy is so unique that it causes spatial tremors, and it’s so intense. The power of the Spatial Core is indeed formidable.”
Even at this moment, the alien Venerable still clung to hope.
…
Meanwhile, the Mosha Clan clone felt the transformation within his Life Crystal Core. New secret patterns continued to imprint onto it, faster and faster. When the Spatial Core was completely covered in cracks, a complete and intricate set of secret patterns had already formed on the Life Crystal Core, radiating golden light.
Now, the Mosha Clan clone bore two sets of secret patterns: one inherited from birth, and the other newly formed.
At the moment the Life Crystal Core within the Mosha Clan clone reached the peak of its transformation and the secret patterns were fully formed, the continuous flow of essence energy from the Spatial Core finally stopped, with no more essence energy being transmitted. At the same time—the Spatial Core itself emitted one final surge of immense energy, radiating throughout the cavern and causing the alien Venerable to feel puzzled and slightly hopeful.
“It seems like a last flicker of brilliance, its final glow,” the Mosha Clan clone was very clear about how much essence energy the Spatial Core had transmitted in such a short time—it was simply an immense amount.
“And the evolution is complete.”
The Mosha Clan clone felt the changes within himself. The incredible harmony with the surrounding space—if before, the relationship between the Mosha Clan clone and space was like that of a fish and river water—then now, it was like a water droplet and river water, already a part of it.
“There’ll be time to study the mysteries later. It seems the Spatial Core is about to collapse,” Luo Feng dared not linger.
“You focus on the Spatial Core. I won’t accompany you any longer,” the Mosha Clan clone said, looking down at the colorful abyss.
Earlier, the alien Venerable had used a divine energy shield to protect the colorful abyss, constantly maintaining it out of fear that the inheritor might self-destruct and damage the colorful abyss. However, when the spatial rifts disappeared and the alien Venerable believed the Spatial Core had matured, he no longer focused on maintaining the colorful abyss, and the divine energy shield naturally dissipated.
“Swoosh!” The Mosha Clan clone shot down toward one of the golden pools below and vanished in an instant.
“Hmm?”
The alien Venerable slightly startled and looked down, “Disappeared? He vanished into the colorful abyss? Did the inheritor die within the colorful abyss, or did he escape?” His information was clearly not as detailed as Luo Feng’s. The alien Venerable only knew that the colorful abyss provided cosmic fundamental energy to the Spatial Core but was unaware that it was actually five deep abyssal channels.
“He can go if he wants. Anyway, the Spatial Core has matured. Even if he notifies someone, they probably won’t arrive in time,” the alien Venerable, filled with anticipation, looked up at the Spatial Core before him, radiating immense energy.
The Spatial Core shone brilliantly!
Peng!
It was as if glass shattered. The Spatial Core, radiating immense energy, directly exploded, and countless fragments floated in the air, transforming into energy and vanishing within the cavern.
“This, this, this…” The alien Venerable’s three faces were filled with shock and disbelief.
“How could this happen?”
“How could it shatter?” The alien Venerable never imagined it was the inheritor’s fault, as he had been watching the entire time, and the inheritor had never touched the Spatial Core.
“I’ve never heard of the Spatial Core shattering. Could it be… could it be that the cursed inheritor rushing into the colorful abyss caused a special reaction?” The alien Venerable looked down at the colorful abyss below. Unable to think of any other reason, he found the inheritor’s act of rushing into the colorful abyss particularly strange.
“No, no—” The alien Venerable refused to believe it.
He had endured for 3,000 epochs, waiting for the day the Spatial Core would mature. Especially in the last epoch, when he discovered the Spatial Core had already formed and was about to mature, he had come daily to sweep the area, preventing any other powerhouse from seizing it at the last moment.
This was the Spatial Core! The Spatial Core that could be used to forge a ‘Fundamental Supreme Treasure.’
Moreover, the Spatial Core was a core material for high-level Fundamental Supreme Treasures, more valuable than some barely classified supreme treasures. Any supreme treasure—any core material for a Fundamental Supreme Treasure—was enough to drive countless Cosmic Venerables mad with desire. He had endured so long, only to end up with nothing.
“Even if he rushed into the colorful abyss, it was already after the spatial rifts had vanished and the Spatial Core had fully matured,” the alien Venerable shook his head repeatedly.
“Why did it shatter? Why did it shatter?” The alien Venerable was filled with pain, anger, and unwillingness.
“Roar~~~”
His three faces simultaneously let out an angry, piercing roar. A surge of mighty divine power erupted violently, shooting out from each cave in the cave complex. In an instant, the floating conical mountain, accompanied by the piercing roar, spewed divine power beams from countless cave mouths.
