Sudden Change

Deep within the conical mountain, Luo Feng's Demon Killer Clan clone was intently observing the Heart of Space. This core material, a primal-grade supreme treasure, was comparable in value to the Wings of Wu, yet its surface still displayed the five elemental manifestations, with spatial cracks constantly appearing and disappearing around it, clearly indicating it hadn't fully formed.

“When will it finally form?” the Demon Killer Clan clone wondered, a hint of anxiety in its voice.

Should he give up? He couldn't bear to.

Wasting time here? Although it had long been taking shape, he estimated it would form within this millennium, or perhaps immediately, or after a thousand years.

“If it’s truly for this supreme treasure material, waiting here for a thousand years is nothing,” the Demon Killer Clan clone mused. “Or I could go to the Nine Nether Space-time and simultaneously arrange for a soul servant to keep watch here.”

Just as Luo Feng hesitated, the alien's towering figure flew into one of the 10081 caves of the conical mountain. This cave wound for hundreds of kilometers, deep and dark. The alien powerhouse, shrinking its divine body, flew through the cave, its serpentine tail gently swaying, rapidly heading deeper into the mountain.

“My Heart of Space, hurry and form! I’m getting impatient,” the alien powerhouse muttered, its three grotesque faces filled with anticipation.

Whoosh!

The alien powerhouse shot directly into the mountain's core, its divine body rapidly expanding back to its original size. But the moment it entered the core and its divine body enlarged, a look of astonishment appeared on all three of its faces… It stared in shock at an Immortal Inheritor of the Ancestral God Sect standing at the edge of the five-colored pools.

“An Inheritor!” The alien Universe Venerable recognized it at a glance; this was one of the Inheritors from Purple Thorn Island.

The Demon Killer Clan clone had transformed into one of the Inheritors, mimicking its aura. The alien Universe Venerable couldn't immediately discern that it was a Demon Killer Clan clone.

“Hmm?” The Demon Killer Clan clone, sensing something, turned its head to look.

One look and its soul nearly scattered.

“A Universe Venerable!” The Demon Killer Clan clone leaped in fright. The Universe Venerable had arrived silently, its aura completely concealed, and it had entered the mountain's core without being detected.

“Die!” The alien Universe Venerable's three faces grew even more ferocious the instant the Demon Killer Clan clone turned its head.

Kill!

Its mood was extremely foul. This Inheritor had actually come to the conical mountain. Who knew if this Inheritor had spread the news? Of course, by normal custom, when encountering such a unique treasure, Inheritors generally wouldn't easily spread information. But even if it killed this Inheritor, the news could still leak once the Inheritor revived.

“Soul control, annihilate.” The alien Universe Venerable's head snapped around, one of its dark green faces staring at the Demon Killer Clan clone, unleashing a soul control technique.

This would prevent any possibility of information leakage.

Its ethereal divine power instantly attacked the Demon Killer Clan clone.

Like a gust of wind, the Demon Killer Clan clone, completely unaffected, immediately shot towards the five-colored pools. In an instant, it stood between the five-colored pools and the Heart of Space above. Standing there, the Demon Killer Clan clone felt streams of primal energy of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth continuously surging from beneath its feet, converging on the Heart of Space above its head.

“Alien, if you want to kill me, don’t blame me for self-detonating. You should know what will happen if I self-detonate above the Five-Colored Abyss,” the Demon Killer Clan clone immediately transmitted, roaring in anger.

“Stop.”

The alien Universe Venerable jumped in fright, a trace of anxiety in the eyes of its three faces.

It knew something was wrong. It had encountered an Inheritor who knew about the 'Five-Colored Abyss' and the 'Heart of Space.' Generally, Immortal-level beings wouldn't know the secrets of primal-grade supreme treasures. And judging by what this Immortal Inheritor said, it clearly understood the 'Five-Colored Abyss' very well, including its critical points.

“Don’t self-detonate, absolutely don’t self-detonate,” the alien Universe Venerable anxiously pleaded. Earlier, it had used soul control instead of direct divine power annihilation, not only to prevent information leakage but also because it feared powerful divine power might affect the 'Five-Colored Abyss.'

The Five-Colored Abyss was a unique environment born in the universe.

However, a self-detonation by a King-level Immortal was enough to tear space, and the Five-Colored Abyss would be damaged. Although it would gradually repair itself over a long time, the 'Heart of Space' that had been gestating would no longer be able to absorb energy.

“How is this possible! How can he be unaffected by my soul control? Even if he can resist, how can he show no effect at all?” The alien Universe Venerable was anxious.

If it were an ordinary Inheritor daring to threaten it, then direct soul annihilation would suffice.

But this Inheritor could withstand its soul control without any effect. Perhaps its ethereal divine power's soul annihilation would also be ineffective.

At the same moment the Demon Killer Clan clone discovered the alien Universe Venerable, Luo Feng's Earthling true body, lurking in a rock cave billions of kilometers away, was startled.

“There’s an alien Universe Venerable.”

“No wonder the Inheritors died before,” Luo Feng frowned slightly. “I’ll leave a token and temporarily depart.”

Luo Feng didn't hesitate. He immediately threw a spatial ring disguised as a rock fragment among the various rubble in the cave, then quickly flew down, using a miniature detector to block energy fluctuations, and began to have his subordinates initiate God Kingdom teleportation.

A hazy golden light shone.

God Kingdom teleportation had begun.

Luo Feng took a step, directly traversing to the distant God Kingdom of his servant, leaving this place.

Deep within the conical mountain.

The Demon Killer Clan clone floated between the 'five-colored pools' and the 'Heart of Space,' gazing at the alien Universe Venerable standing at the edge of the five-colored pools.

Bang!

The arm guard communicator on the Demon Killer Clan clone's right arm suddenly exploded, and at the same time, a powerful divine force instantly suppressed the Demon Killer Clan clone.

“Inheritor.” The alien Universe Venerable's expression changed from anxious anger to cold indifference as it looked at the Demon Killer Clan clone. “You, an Immortal, can resist my soul control. That’s truly impressive. However—you are too foolish. Do you think self-detonation can threaten me? If you had self-detonated immediately when I was caught off guard, I would have been furious. But if you give me even a little time, you will have no power to resist—”

Buzz!

A membrane-like shield suddenly condensed above the five-colored pools. Powerful divine power was contained within it. This shield, entirely formed by divine power, firmly protected the Five-Colored Abyss.

“Even if you really self-detonate, how could the power of your Immortal God's self-detonation possibly break my divine power protection?” The alien Universe Venerable was full of confidence. “Moreover, your arm guard communicator has been destroyed by me. Haha, an Inheritor’s communicator is bestowed by the Guardian Beast God, and there should only be one, right? You have no spares. Now, if you want to enter the Glory World, you can’t. I truly don’t know whether to call you foolish or kind. The moment I discovered you, I entered the Glory World and kept an eye on it, worried that you, little fellow, would immediately enter the Glory World to spread the news. But you actually didn’t spread any news.”

The Demon Killer Clan clone merely looked at it.

Although bound by powerful divine power, the Demon Killer Clan clone showed no tension.

“First, you destroyed my Glory World sensor, and then you protected the Five-Colored Abyss.” The Demon Killer Clan clone smiled. “But do you think I would be that foolish?”

The alien Universe Venerable paused slightly.

A shock in its heart!

It also felt that the Inheritor's actions were very foolish, but every Inheritor was a genius. How could they make such a low-level mistake?

“But you didn’t connect to the Glory World, nor did you spread any news. If you had connected, I would have seen you the moment you appeared in the open plaza,” the alien Universe Venerable said.

“You destroyed my Glory World sensor, but I still have a Virtual Universe sensor,” the Demon Killer Clan clone replied.

“Virtual Universe, the Human Virtual Universe?” The alien Universe Venerable was greatly alarmed.

“Clever,” the Demon Killer Clan clone smiled. “The moment I discovered you, I left numerous messages and emails in the Virtual Universe, setting the condition for sending: the instant my Virtual Universe connection is severed, all emails will be sent out. My friends and the super powerhouses of my race will all know immediately.”

The alien Universe Venerable’s three faces grew even more ferocious, gnashing its teeth.

Although the alien the Demon Killer Clan clone had transformed into was not human, many alien races in the universe would establish intelligence networks in the Virtual Universe, no matter the cost. Because in the vast universe… only the Virtual Universe could achieve information transmission across any territory of the universe.

So, it was normal for some alien peerless geniuses to carry 'unregistered account sensors.' Perhaps a peerless alien genius controlled a human servant.

“Speak, what do you want?” The alien Universe Venerable stared at the Demon Killer Clan clone.

“My life and death are in your hands. Even if you give me some treasure, I’m afraid you’ll kill me immediately once you obtain the Heart of Space. How can I trust you?” the Demon Killer Clan clone said.

The Demon Killer Clan clone was stalling for time with the alien Universe Venerable, deliberately prolonging the conversation.

In fact, when the Demon Killer Clan clone first discovered the alien Universe Venerable, its original plan was to directly plunge into the five-colored pools below. Luo Feng, having researched some secrets of the Five-Colored Abyss through the Virtual Universe, knew that the Five-Colored Abyss consisted of five abyssal channels. Once the Demon Killer Clan clone entered, it would be teleported along these abyssal channels.

However, the origin of the universe would reject Luo Feng, ejecting the Demon Killer Clan clone midway through the teleportation channel.

This way, the Demon Killer Clan clone could escape.

The true secrets of this 'Five-Colored Abyss' were probably unknown even to ordinary Universe Venerables; this alien Universe Venerable might not understand them.

But—

When Luo Feng was implementing his plan, the Demon Killer Clan clone had just flown above the Five-Colored Abyss and below the Heart of Space when it immediately changed its mind! Because Luo Feng discovered something that shocked and excited him.

“Buzz, buzz, buzz~~” The life core within the Demon Killer Clan clone's body vibrated.

The life core also had 10081 facets, adorned with complex spatial law secret patterns. At this moment, the life core seemed to resonate with the Heart of Space above, and strange energies were continuously transmitted into the life core, causing it to slowly undergo a transformation. Luo Feng had never heard of such a thing, but he felt it was beneficial to him.

Both the life core and the Heart of Space had 10081 facets.

Both could also resonate with the spatial law ocean at the origin of the universe, though their power differed greatly. The life core's resonance and sensing could enhance the Demon Killer Clan clone's spatial law perception by dozens of times. The legendary 'Heart of Space,' as a high-grade material, once crafted into a primal-grade supreme treasure, could increase the speed of divine power absorption by tens of thousands of times.

Their sizes also differed greatly.

In terms of quality, the difference was immense.

A Sector Lord level life core could be easily destroyed by an Immortal, while the Heart of Space was an indestructible primal-grade supreme treasure material.

Yet, the life core and the Heart of Space began to undergo a strange change when the Demon Killer Clan clone appeared below the Heart of Space. Streams of energy, under the resonance of the two crystal spheres (life core and Heart of Space), continuously flowed into the life core.

It was precisely because of this change that the Demon Killer Clan clone was stalling for time with the alien Universe Venerable.

“You despicable Inheritor, tell me, what exactly do you want? Propose a perfect solution!” The alien Universe Venerable’s three faces were ferocious, roaring simultaneously, its three voices echoing through the mountain's core.

“Let me think,” the Demon Killer Clan clone said, frowning.
