Swallowed Star: Primordial Artifact

Chapter 216 A blessing in disguise
Jiang Ye lay on the wet ground, enduring the severe pain all over his body, and took out several treasures from the world ring to repair his damaged body.

In this dangerous extraterritorial battlefield, every second of delay will increase the danger.

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Ye slowly opened his eyes, feeling the rhythm of the chaotic nucleus in his body.

The world inside the body that has been transformed by the Jade Disc of Creation is like a vibrant small universe with powerful self-repair capabilities.

He began to guide the energy of the world within his body and slowly merge it into his own body.

With the injection of energy, the wounds on Jiang Ye's body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At the same time, above the center of the inner world.

Piles of cosmic crystal mountains emitting deep light appeared out of thin air. Each crystal mountain was like a condensed world, containing endless cosmic energy.

One of the crystal mountains was the first to change. Part of the mountain began to slowly melt away, transforming into countless flickering spots of light. The spots of light gathered into a majestic world force, spreading out violently.

These world forces seemed to be endowed with life, and they quickly gathered in the same direction, as if they had a common mission to accomplish a great feat.

The power of the world gathered more and more, and gradually a huge and vague outline was outlined in the void.

At first, it was just a vague shadow, like a mysterious totem from ancient times, looming in the chaos; but with the injection of more world power, its outline became clearer and clearer, and its sinuous figure, huge head, and slender dragon body all declared - the Ancestral Dragon is returning.

Needless to say, how important the Ancestral Dragon's clone is to Jiang Ye. In order to counter the attack from the Rift King, Jiang Ye chose to self-destruct this clone and gain a glimmer of hope.

Fortunately, as long as the pronucleus is not destroyed, even if Jiang Ye himself and Zulong's clone die, they can be completely reshaped with the power of the world in the body.

Looking at the huge outline of the Zulong clone that was 90,000 kilometers long and frantically absorbing the cosmic crystal mountain stored in the world inside his body, Jiang Ye couldn't help but say: "Fortunately, now it is just a realm master, and it only needs to consume cosmic crystals to recover!"

Jiang Ye's eyes flickered slightly, and he thought to himself: "It seems that I have to find a way to create a "storage pool" of divine power. Otherwise, when I become immortal or above, once my clone is damaged, the price I have to pay will be incalculable!"

……

"Ok?"

Jiang Ye closed his eyes, feeling that he had a new understanding of the laws and secrets, and couldn't help but smile.

"This is a blessing in disguise!!"

This struggle on the brink of life and death was like a key that opened the door to his deeper understanding of his own power.

On the other side, the Riftbreaker King was like a mad beast in the chaotic void, searching everywhere with red eyes, not missing any corner.

His figure quickly shuttled through the turbulent space and flying treasures, leaving behind a trail of afterimages.

Every time he discovered a new treasure, he would just take a quick glance at it and throw it into his space ring, thinking only of finding Jiang Ye's treasure.

"Where on earth is it!" The Rift King roared angrily, his voice echoing in the void, but he received no response. He had already searched the area almost upside down, but the treasure seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth, with no trace left.

Just when he was extremely anxious, he caught a glimpse of several figures slowly approaching from the corner of his eye.

Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be the powerful kings of the demon camp who had been wandering around the periphery for a long time.

Although they were afraid of this chaotic space, after all, it could cause such a strong energy explosion, and who knew what dangers it might bring, but faced with the temptation of such rich treasures, they could not hold back after all.

The face of King Rifter suddenly darkened. He knew that these people had come with ill intentions.

If it were normal times, he would naturally not take these weak guys seriously, but at this moment his strength was greatly reduced, and he was focused on finding the treasure, so he really didn't want to be distracted from fighting with them. Moreover, this piece of void was in chaos, and no one could say for sure if something unexpected would happen.

"Hmph, it's not that easy to pick up something ready-made!" The Weapon-Splitting King snorted coldly, and his aura suddenly burst out, trying to scare away these uninvited guests.

However, these powerful alien kings who were able to enter here in the first batch were not timid or weak, especially the leading ones who were at the peak of the king level. They looked at each other and surrounded the Rift Weapon King in a fan shape.

"Mechanical clan, there are so many treasures, you can't eat them all by yourself." One of the powerful kings in the demon clan camp sneered and spoke. There was a hint of provocation in his voice, like a sharp sword, piercing straight into the self-esteem of the Rifting King.

The Riftbreaker King was burning with rage. Under normal circumstances, if someone dared to speak to him like this, he would have destroyed that person into ashes.

But he also understood that it was not appropriate for him to take action at this moment.

He suppressed his anger, and swept his eyes over the demon tribe camps one by one. Then he suddenly laughed up to the sky: "Humph, what a crime of eating alone! Demon tribe, I will remember you!"

After saying that, he suddenly turned around and turned into a stream of light and flew away into the distance.
Those powerful alien kings obviously didn't expect that the mechanical race would suddenly give up, and they all stood there in a daze for a while.

By the time they came to their senses, the Weapon Breaker King had disappeared without a trace.

Everyone looked at each other, then rushed to the area where the treasures were scattered and started snatching them frantically.

After leaving, the Splitting King was filled with resentment. As he flew, he gritted his teeth secretly: "King Killer of Gold, if you are still alive, I will tear you into pieces! As for the treasure, I will find it sooner or later!"

He knew that the reason why these immortal kings of the demon clan did not attack him was because there were still many treasures around. However, once all the treasures were picked up, a big battle would be inevitable.

Therefore, he could only leave this troubled place first and then make plans.

During the flight, King Rift began to sort out the treasures he had collected.

Looking at the mountains of rare treasures in the world ring, his mood calmed down a little.

Although he didn't find Jiang Ye's treasure, the gains were enough for him to recover some of his losses.

He decided to return to his nest first and sort out these treasures.

……

At the same time, Jiang Ye was still concentrating on recovering his strength deep underground. He didn't know that the King of Rift had left, but he devoted himself to the understanding of the laws and secrets, as well as the process of reshaping the Ancestral Dragon clone.

A month passed in a flash, and the outline of the Ancestral Dragon's clone became clearer and clearer under the carving of the massive world power.

At the same time, the energy fluctuations in Jiang Ye's inner world gradually stabilized.

At this moment, Jiang Ye was sitting cross-legged in meditation. His breathing was even and long. Suddenly, many phantoms of real dragons gradually emerged on his body surface, and these phantoms were looming.

In a trance, a faint phantom of a real dragon enveloped his body. The phantom was lifelike, with fluttering dragon whiskers and majestic dragon eyes. It was the phantom of the Ancestral Dragon, exuding an ancient and powerful aura.

"boom."

Jiang Ye suddenly opened his eyes, and two rays of light shot out from his eyes, with a faint sense of terrible dominance. This domineering intention seemed to conquer the entire world and make everything submit to him.

"True Dragon Body" is also known as "True Dragon Nine Derivations". "Yan" means derivation and reproduction, implying that this is the ultimate state of the secret method. Once the practitioner has mastered this level of secret method, he can use it to derive endless power and changes, reach the ultimate power, and change the world with a wave of his hand.

overbearing!

Fierce!

"The first level has finally been mastered." Jiang Ye opened his eyes and lowered his head to look at his surroundings.

Although he has obtained the Ice God's body vibration secret technique, Jiang Ye has only received half of it.

The complete body amplitude secret method can reach a hundred times, but Jiang Ye has only achieved fifty times. Therefore, it is imperative for Jiang Ye to practice this true dragon body.

However, this True Dragon Body is, after all, a secret method of body vibration, and is extremely difficult to practice.

Take Luo Feng's cultivation of the first level of Beast God Transformation for example. It took him a long time of 800 years, and the first level of scale armor only allowed him to achieve twice the amplitude.

In comparison, the first level of the True Dragon Body allows the user to achieve nine times the amplitude. This huge gap is enough to show how difficult it is to practice this secret method.

However, in the process of practicing this secret method, Jiang Ye discovered some tricks.

Whenever he had doubts in his mind, he would subconsciously follow the secret patterns on the Ancestral Dragon's clone and gently scratch some of the scale patterns. The amazing thing was that doing so always made it easier for him to comprehend the essence of the secret method.
When reading the book "Nine Wonders of True Dragon" which explained the law of fusion, he also discovered something...

There seemed to be an indescribable meaning on the Ancestral Dragon's clone. Every time Jiang Ye looked at the patterns on its body, his understanding of the laws and secret techniques became deeper.

In fact, this is not difficult to understand.

Just as the beast god born from the primordial universe naturally possesses the artistic conception of the beast god, for a life like the Ancestral Dragon, which was extremely noble in the prehistoric era, the mystery contained in it is far beyond the comparison of the beast god.

The eight beast gods are nothing more than the incarnations of the fusion of a single lower-level law and its higher-level law, but in the Ancestral Dragon, it seems that traces of the fusion of all laws can be found.

The more Jiang Ye studied it, the more he felt that it was most likely the legendary Law of Chaos. However, with his current strength and understanding of the laws, he could only see the fusion of the laws of wind and time. As for the rest, he only had some simple feelings.

Finally, Jiang Ye decided to name this artistic conception the Zulong artistic conception.

“I didn’t expect that there is such a mystery in the clone of Zulong. It seems that it will be much easier to comprehend the law of fusion in the future!” Jiang Ye said secretly.

If Jiang Ye could master this bit of the Ancestral Dragon's artistic conception, then in the future, whether he was practicing secret techniques or comprehending the laws, he would be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

It's just like some car mechanics who, although they don't understand the principles, can still repair cars through practice. When the mechanics who can repair cars study the principles behind it and verify the process with their own car repair process, they will naturally understand it faster.

After a while.

Jiang Ye slowly stood up and stretched his muscles. The golden armor that had some cracks before had now been completely repaired and was shining with a cold metallic luster.

He looked around and the smell of dampness and decay still permeated deep underground. He knew it was time to leave.

Then it turned into a stream of light and shuttled silently underground.

After an unknown amount of time, the scene in front of him suddenly changed. The originally narrow passage suddenly became clear, and a huge space appeared before his eyes.

And in this space, standing was the huge monster that made his heart beat faster.

"This is……"

Jiang Ye looked at the huge building standing in the mud and rocks in front of him. Because of the mud and rocks, he could only see a few hundred meters away. This was a circular passage door on the huge building, but the passage door was completely closed. Even after billions of years, the building was still intact.

"Is this... a sacrificial tower?" Jiang Ye widened his eyes.

The most famous thing about Yanji Continent is the "Sacrifice Tower".

When the seventh battlefield was opened, some strong men from the four peak tribes swept across many areas and opened up the battlefield. The natives of Yanji Continent naturally fled in panic and did not dare to resist the four peak tribes at all, because it was too late. Many treasures of the natives of Yanji Continent were placed in sacrificial towers.

It can be said that every sacrificial tower... is a large treasure house.

Jiang Ye had been in Yanji Continent for such a long time. The reason for that was just to see the sacrificial tower in Yanji Continent. Therefore, he recognized this building at the first sight when he saw it.

"Xiao Pi, explore this sacrificial tower." Jiang Ye said.

"Ding, Master, we can't detect the sacrificial tower. We only found mud and rocks within a 2-kilometer radius."

"Oh? Even the micro detector can't detect it?" Jiang Ye was surprised. He had heard that the detector could not detect the sacrificial tower, not even the divine power of the Universe Lord could detect it... But only after actually trying it did he feel how powerful the sacrificial tower was.

"Corpse!"

Jiang Ye saw a corpse lying flat on the rock in front of him. The corpse was about 2.6 meters tall, jade-like, with six arms, a bald head, and a faint sense of oppression emanating from the body. It was the oppression of an immortal god, which could last for billions of years without decaying at all... This was naturally an immortal god.

"The pressure is quite strong. This immortal corpse obviously has extremely high condensed divine power. It should be at the king level." Jiang Ye walked over and stood aside, examining it.

"It looks like there is no pain in death."

Jiang Ye observed carefully.

The expression of this corpse was anxious, and its eyes were still wide open. However, it died like this, as if it died suddenly.

"He died very quickly. It is very difficult to kill a king-level warrior, but when he died, even his armor was intact, which clearly shows that there was no fierce battle." Jiang Ye thought inwardly, "I guess... it should be that when the four peak clans opened up the battlefield, the large group of universe masters directly launched a soul attack, sweeping across the entire Yanji Continent. All life on the Yanji Continent... was completely exterminated, and the six kings also died instantly."

"Ok?"

Jiang Ye used a trace of world power to take the world rings beside the six corpses into his hands.

It is unknown how long these people have been dead, and the spiritual imprint on the world ring has long disappeared.

Mental power easily enters the world ring.

After a quick scan, Jiang Ye found that most of the treasures were not worthy of his attention. Although these people were strong enough to be crowned kings, they were still natives after all. There were not many things on them that Jiang Ye could consider to be treasures.

However, a few stones did catch Jiang Ye's attention.
