Chapter 468: The Black Universal Origin Stone and the Fallen Immortal Spear
Chapter 468: The Black Universal Origin Stone and the Fallen Immortal Spear
As his heart raced with surprise, Song Chi's reaction was swift, or perhaps he had anticipated this situation.
Why was he so cautious? Why did he wait until they were inside the Multiverse Ruins Market to thoroughly investigate the immortal's corpse?
It was because they were in the Multiverse Ruins Market, and he himself possessed the power of a peak seventh-rank Sovereign, within this realm.
If they were outside, even within the Heaven Ruin Skydome, facing the swift black light shooting towards him, Song Chi wouldn't have been able to react in time.
But here in the market, he was the ruler of the laws, and with the Sovereign Persona enhancing his abilities, the outcome was different.
In the instant the black light shot out, the perfect laws of the market were manipulated by Song Chi, crushing and suppressing the black light that burst from the immortal's body within the rules of the market.
However, the situation did not halt there. The black light that shot from the immortal's brow was too mysterious, and despite the comprehensive suppression of seventh-rank rules, it continued to resist.
The black light, originally the size of a fingernail, suddenly intensified, and Song Chi felt the prison formed by the market's rules tremble violently.
At one point, a nearly imperceptible phantom emerged from the prison, and Song Chi, using his Dual Pupil, clearly captured the image with the substantialized shadow of the Dual Pupil in his eyes.
At the same time, a golden light surged from within the Heaven Ruin Skydome.
The phantom froze, and time stood still.
Under the control of the Tranquility Seal·Outer·Time Stop, the unknown phantom was completely immobilized.
The next second, Song Chi, with the power of the Sovereign within him, frantically manipulated the Dual Pupil in his eyes.
For a moment, it seemed as if heaven and earth had turned upside down, and a vast force of absorption enveloped the unknown phantom.
Perhaps due to the extraordinary nature of his persona, the time-stopping effect of the golden artifact, the Bodhimanda Meditation Seal, only froze the phantom for less than a second before it broke free.
However, when it turned back, it found itself in a completely unfamiliar dark space, with a pair of enormous Dual Pupil eyes hanging high in the dark sky, staring down at the phantom with a menacing gaze.
"This is... the Pupil Illusion... No!"
A roar seemed to emanate from the phantom, but Song Chi paid it no heed. Through the Dual Pupil's illusion, he had seen through the phantom's true form.
Just as he had suspected, it was a soul, or rather, the remnant soul of the immortal, and as expected, its previous actions were an attempt to possess him.
But it never expected that Song Chi would possess the Sovereign Persona within the market.
The Pupil Illusion, born from the power of the Sovereign, was especially effective against such soul entities. Within the illusion, Song Chi's mental power was infinitely amplified, while the enemy's soul power was greatly suppressed, putting him in an unbeatable position.
Without hesitation, two divine lights shot out from the depths of the Dual Pupil eyes hanging in the sky, precisely striking the immortal's remnant soul.
"Ahhh..."
A scream of agony echoed, but Song Chi showed no mercy. The divine light continued to strike, quickly annihilating the immortal's remnant soul.
He was well aware that showing mercy to a fragment of a Sovereign-ranked immortal's soul would be cruel to himself.
As the consciousness within the immortal's remnant soul was completely eradicated, the Pupil Illusion space was filled with countless crystalline fragments.
Intrigued, Song Chi absorbed one of the small fragments, and the next second, his mind was flooded with memories that did not belong to him.
"Heavenly Destiny Immortal Sect"
"Heavenly Destiny South"
"Lifetaking Immortal"
"Immortal Realm Continent, North Star Dao Province"
...
Fragmented memories, disjointed and incomprehensible, yet all seemed to be related to the Immortal Realm Continent, flooded his mind. Under the onslaught of these broken memories, Song Chi even felt his mental power slowly increasing.
"Are these... fragments of the immortal's life memories?"
Looking at the numerous crystalline fragments below, Song Chi immediately had a rough guess, and he was almost certain.
Thinking this, the Dual Pupil eyes in the sky once again shot out a vast force of absorption, but this time, he did not intend to merge all the memory fragments.
In the main control room of the Heaven Ruin Skydome, Song Chi carefully collected all the memory fragments he had absorbed, then rubbed his slightly dazed head.
He planned to slowly absorb these memory fragments over time.
Just absorbing that small fragment had burdened his mind, which had already reached the thirty-fifth level of concentration, indicating that absorbing the immortal's memories would be no easy task and must be done gradually.
Moreover, he wasn't particularly interested in the information within these fragments about the Immortal Realm Continent, as its current location was unknown, and any important information would be useless.
Instead, he valued the benefits to his mental power and the numerous Sovereign True Spirits contained within these memory fragments, which he planned to refine later.
After dealing with the memory fragments, Song Chi turned his attention back to the "Lifetaking" immortal's body, which was still sitting silently on the ground in the free-trade area.
He carefully examined the corpse with his Dual Pupil, and after confirming that there were no other hidden means, he called to the fourth-rank Cataclysmic Star Clan member beside him to carry the body onto the warship.
In the engine room of the Heaven Ruin Skydome, Song Chi's eyes glowed with anticipation as he examined the immortal's corpse.
This was a complete body of a Sovereign-ranked being, and even after countless millennia of annihilation, its body was still covered in traces of perfect, profound laws. Merely observing and comprehending these law traces, along with the imitation Enlightenment Cushion, would greatly enhance his understanding of the laws.
Additionally, in the future, when the Heaven Ruin Skydome attempted to advance to a Star Destroyer, they could extract a drop of Sovereign origin blood from the corpse, significantly increasing the warship's promotion success rate.
But these were not the most important things. Compared to enhancing law comprehension speed or the unknown years until the warship's advancement, Song Chi's gaze remained fixed on the storage bag attached to the immortal's waist.
Although it looked ordinary, it was a storage bag left by an immortal, a being comparable to the Sovereigns of the Shattered Star Sea. It must contain many valuable items.
At the very least, there should be a few golden holy realm artifacts, right?
If luck was on his side, there was a chance of obtaining a Black Supreme Artifact, or even something beyond that.
However, despite his eagerness, Song Chi did not reach out to touch it recklessly. Instead, he let the fourth-rank Cataclysmic Star Clan member take the initiative, but to no avail.
No matter how hard the fourth-rank Cataclysmic Star Clan tried, they couldn't open the storage bag.
Song Chi, who had experienced a similar situation with Zhou Ping before, was not surprised. With a thought, he summoned back the two Soul Spirits, Hun Da and Hun Er, who had been left in the Holy Dragon Continent.
These two Soul Spirit Clan members were enslaved from the Soul Spirit Continent over a hundred years ago, and they had remained at the third rank, unable to keep up with Song Chi's progress.
Over the years, they had stayed in the Holy Dragon Continent, mining resources for him.
Song Chi had long considered replacing them, but after enslaving the Abyssal Devil, he no longer had to worry about the number of enslaved creatures, so they had stayed until now.
Returning to the Bazaar Travel Room with them was Zhao Lei.
Zhao Lei, who had been traded from Zhou Ping's hands, had also advanced to the Golden Core stage over the years.
Upon seeing Zhao Lei, Song Chi tossed the storage bag to him.
Zhao Lei understood what was expected of him and quickly channeled his spiritual power into the storage bag.
Whether it was due to his insufficient strength or some other reason, even after exhausting all his spiritual power, he still couldn't open the storage bag.
Song Chi was not going to give up.
"If a third-rank Golden Core can't do it, then a fourth-rank Nascent Soul should. If that fails, we'll try a fifth-rank Spirit Transformation!"
Muttering to himself, Song Chi took out a spirit stone and let Zhao Lei recover his spiritual power. After Zhao Lei had recovered, Song Chi activated the law-enhancing ability of the Bazaar Travel Permit.
Instantly, Zhao Lei's strength was boosted from the Golden Core stage to the Nascent Soul stage. However, when he channeled his spiritual power into the storage bag again, the result was not much different from before.
"There's some reaction now..."
Song Chi noticed a faint change in the storage bag, and his eyes narrowed.
Sovereign Power circulated around him, and a mark of enslavement shot out from his glabella.
Zhao Lei couldn't resist, and the Enslavement Medal easily controlled him.
Taking advantage of the law-enhancing effect of the Bazaar Travel Permit, Song Chi activated the miniature form of the Sky Ruin Skydome in his Flame Ancestral Orifice, and the Enslavement Seal Frenzy was activated.
In an instant, the pressure in the room surged, and Zhao Lei's spiritual power intensified, directly crossing the threshold into the Spirit Transformation stage.
This temporarily controlled Spirit Transformation power, borrowed from external forces, was naturally incomparable to that of a true Spirit Transformation cultivator. But Song Chi only needed his spiritual power, not his combat abilities.
Under the shroud of blood-colored steam, Zhao Lei grasped the storage bag again, continuously infusing it with his spiritual power.
After an unknown amount of time, Song Chi's eyes narrowed.
"Just a little more..."
As he muttered, his shadow energy surged, and the miniature Sky Ruin Skydome in his Flame Ancestral Orifice was activated again, this time not for the Enslavement Medal, but for the Superpower Controller, a red artifact.
"Superpower Surge!"
With the activation of this trait, Zhao Lei's nearly depleted spiritual power became extremely active. In just a few breaths, his spiritual power not only replenished but also pushed his strength further.
However, he didn't reach the sixth-rank Returning Void stage. After all, he was just a small Golden Core cultivator with limited capacity, and it was already impressive that he had been boosted by two major ranks.
Although he didn't reach the Returning Void stage, it was enough. With his continued infusion of spiritual power, the storage bag left behind by the immortal was finally opened.
Before letting Zhao Lei pour out all the items, Song Chi left the inn. He returned only after confirming that there were no other surprises.
As he re-entered the Bazaar Travel Room, the first thing that caught his eye was the colorful glow emanating from the room.
In an instant, Song Chi's eyes lit up with a peculiar light. Clearly, the source of this colorful glow was multiple Star Sea Artifacts of varying qualities.
The first two items that caught Song Chi's attention were the ones emitting black light.
With a casual wave of his hand, the Sovereign Power flowed, easily capturing the two black-light-emitting artifacts. As expected, these two items should be two Black Supreme Artifacts.
Artifact: Universal Origin Stone
Quality: Black
Convertible: No
Note: A Universal Origin Stone left over from the Multiverse Era, it has become a Black-quality artifact after countless years of baptism.
However, the first artifact's attributes were not something to be happy about. Although it was a Black-quality artifact, it couldn't be converted into a ship component. It could only be sent to the Bazaar for trading at the Artifact Exchange Shop.
"The first one can't be converted into a ship component, but the second one should."
With this thought, Song Chi turned his attention to the second Black-quality artifact.
But soon, his face darkened. This second Black-quality artifact also couldn't be converted into a ship component.
Artifact: Fallen Immortal Spear
Quality: Black
Convertible: No
Note: A spear once bathed in the blood of countless immortals, it possesses an incredible ferocity.
However, compared to the first one, this Fallen Immortal Spear was still better. At least it could be used as a weapon for the Sky Ruin Skydome in its mecha form.
Frowning, Song Chi put away both Black-quality artifacts and turned his attention to the other items.
In addition to the two Black-quality artifacts, there were three more emitting golden light and over ten emitting silver light.
However, most of them were not artifacts but immortal artifacts. This was the most frustrating for Song Chi, as not all weapons used and crafted by cultivators were Star Sea Artifacts. But on the other hand, trading these items to the Luofu Sword Sect behind Zhou Ping could bring him many good things.
Thinking of this, Song Chi turned his attention to the three golden artifacts, and this time, he wasn't disappointed. The first golden Holy Realm artifact could be converted into a ship component.
This somewhat alleviated his gloomy mood, and this golden Holy Realm artifact seemed to be extraordinary, unlike ordinary golden artifacts.
Artifact: Heavenly Destiny South (Incomplete)
Quality: Golden
Convertible: {Heavenly Destiny South Disk}
Note: Once the treasure of the Heavenly Destiny Immortal Sect in the Immortal Realm Continent, it has various effects such as unraveling threads and tracing origins. However, this artifact is currently incomplete.
