Chapter 270, The Heart of Time
Chapter 270, The Heart of Time
Within the Twin Star System, a human man clad in blue armor and a young king of the Tuoma tribe stood side-by-side atop a massive icy planet. Twisting, distorting forces emanated from the starry sky; if some marquises or even newly-established kings were to remain here, their divine bodies would likely be annihilated instantly.
"The flow of time in the area ahead is changing." A pair of blue eyes stared at two stars several light-years away. The Dream King held the treasured spear in his hand, his gaze solemn.
Beside him, the Southern King of the Tuoma Clan, whose gauntlets were adorned with ferocious spikes, grinned with a憨厚 (honest and simple) smile. However, his bloodshot eyes, fixed on the dozen or so demon kings not far away, gleamed with bloodlust and savagery.
After tens of thousands of years of exploration, the remaining dozens of powerful kings from both the human Hongmeng and the demon alliance finally arrived at the core of this secret realm.
Those who can reach this position and be granted the title of King are at least at the higher level of Kingship.
The human alliance was naturally led by the Dream King, while the Southern King had an astonishing record, having killed several peak-level Kings in succession, barely qualifying him to stand shoulder to shoulder with him. The demon alliance also had a royal-level invincible King-level expert, the Space-Time Demon Beast, plus two divine bodies that had reached the King-level limit of over a hundred kilometers, which barely maintained a fragile balance.
"If we can obtain the final treasure, I will not treat everyone unfairly." The Dream King glanced at the seventeen kings following behind him and spoke. Among these seventeen kings, thirteen were at the peak of the kingship level, only two were at the advanced level, and two others, including the Southern King, were at the limit of the kingship level.
"I believe what the Dream King says!"
"The Dream King is a disciple of the Shadow Blade Master; I believe what he says!"
"I agree!"
"Can!"
"no problem!"
.....
All seventeen kings spoke up, and even the eleven kings from the Hongmeng alien races agreed without any objection.
The Shadow Blade Master is the most amazing genius that the human race has produced in the last hundreds of thousands of eras. Some of them have even seen him!
King Nanshi clashed his fists together, revealing a simple and honest smile.
Ten thousand years ago, when he entered the secret realm and encountered the Dream King, the four cosmic lords of his clan received him and told him to try his best to befriend the Dream King, and it would be even better if he could make the Dream King owe him a favor.
It should be noted that among the six direct disciples of the Shadow Blade Master, apart from the Dream Tunnel King whose cultivation years are still too short, only a few hundred thousand years, and who is now an invincible king, the weakest of the others can rank in the top ten in the Tuoma Clan in terms of strength, while the strongest, the Azure Charm Venerable, is probably in the top three!
They have four cosmic lords!
Therefore, there are no real coincidences. Even if there is friendship, it is based on equal strength. Nan Shi Wang is the strongest among the younger generation of the Tuo Ma clan, but among humans, Meng Wang can only be considered the most talented below the Venerable level, not the strongest!
Some old guys have been dormant for billions of epochs, their names unknown, but their strength is not weak! They dare to challenge even some cosmic venerables!
"Walk!"
After the kings agreed to the bestowal of titles, the Dream King raised the precious spear in his hand and was the first to rush out.
Behind him, King Nan Shi and the other kings rushed towards the deepest part of the secret realm.
"Don't let the Dream King get there first!" On the Demon Alliance's side, one of the eighteen royal families' leaders, a Time-Space Demon Beast, swung its ferocious head, its silver pupils gleaming, and charged forward.
The flow of time in the large area ahead is abnormal, and even the detectors cannot detect the anomaly, so no one dares to teleport.
In a separate plane of the virtual universe, amidst layers of palaces, there are handsome men and beautiful women of the fox-people. World lords and immortals can be seen everywhere, in twos and threes, chattering away.
This is an important gathering point for the Fox Clan in the Virtual Universe Company, and also one of the core areas of the Qingqiu Universe Kingdom. The World Lords and Immortals who can come here are all people with very good talents.
Beside the blue railing in front of a palace, the Azure Charm Venerable, with her seven fox tails swaying slightly, looked at King Meng Sui. Her fox eyes blinked, and even without deliberately using any secret techniques, they possessed an alluring charm that captivated all beings, filling the entire space with a bewitching aura: "Junior Brother, what brings you here?"
"Greetings, Senior Sister." Meng Suiwang, dressed in blue battle armor, bowed respectfully before speaking, "I've come here today because I need your help with something, Senior Sister."
"Oh?" The fox's eyes blinked, its long eyelashes trembled slightly, and every movement was seamless, as if it were a natural creation, yet it was an extremely profound illusion.
Even without intentional use, it can captivate some weaker rulers, making them unable to extricate themselves. "Junior Brother, weren't you exploring a new secret realm? Did you encounter any trouble?"
"Yes, Senior Sister." The Dream King's will was already at the Venerable level, and having been tested over time, his resistance was naturally stronger. He then recounted some of his experiences exploring the secret realm, which caused Venerable Qingmei to cover her mouth with her hand and gasp softly, her fox eyes bright as stars.
Finally, the Dream King brought up the most important matter of his trip, saying, "...Then, in the starry sky of the Twin Star Vortex Galaxy at the very core of that secret realm, a three-colored vortex was discovered—"
"The Heart of Time?" Venerable Qingmei blinked her fox-like eyes and suddenly interrupted the Dream King.
"—That's right!" King Mengsui's mind jolted, and he exclaimed, "I've checked, it is indeed the Heart of Time!"
"Although the environmental requirements for the creation of such treasures are very demanding, it's not surprising that the Heart of Time appears in secret realms. I once found a fragmented Heart of Water in a secret realm, and my third brother once found a complete Heart of Fire in a fiery secret realm, which he eventually donated to the clan in exchange for a very good treasure." Venerable Qingmei spoke, her fox eyes, which were fixed on the Dream King, showing a hint of seriousness in their shimmering light. "Is the Heart of Time you found mature? Is it complete?"
"Senior Sister, look!" A video appeared before Meng Wang's eyes, showing the scene where he discovered the Heart of Time.
As Qingmei Venerable watched the video sent by the Dream King, ignoring the various races' titles of king, he saw a crystal sphere that shone with three colors of light, had 10081 facets, and connected to three abyssal passages.
The three-colored light undulated, like a heartbeat.
This is the heart of time, about to mature!
"It's so complete!" Venerable Qingmei blinked his fox-like eyes, somewhat surprised, but also delighted.
Both the incomplete Water Heart she discovered and the Fire Heart found by the third brother, Silver Soul Palace Master, are core materials for refining primordial treasures, differing only in their level. Judging from the video, this Time Heart appears to be even more complete than the third brother's Fire Heart.
The primordial treasures crafted from the core materials corresponding to the eight lower-level laws are generally only considered ordinary treasures. Even with the addition of various precious auxiliary materials, they can only reach the level of high-grade treasures at best. This is determined by the inherent limitations of the materials themselves. However, time and space are two other materials...
It can be used to refine top-tier primordial treasures.
The top-tier primordial treasure that Ye Muxuan obtained in the cosmic sea was in the same situation.
A higher level of material is the fusion of "wood and void" and "wind and time," which can be used to forge supreme primordial treasures. As for the highest-grade primordial treasure that can absorb all divine power after forging, there is not a single one in the entire primordial universe!
"For our race, a Heart of Time is more important than a high-grade treasure." Venerable Qingmei said with a smile, causing ripples to spread through the surrounding space, filled with an atmosphere of joy. "You can obtain a Heart of Time with just one trip. Next time there is such a good thing, Junior Brother, just ask."
"If I'm not even confident in my ability to intervene, I'll call the teacher too. In this primordial universe, no one can make the teacher back down!"
P.S.: I'm in the hospital, so the second update might be a little later.
