God of Pets

Chapter 783 Mystic Core

Chen Guan also stared intently at the sand snake. Such an inconspicuous sand snake had such strange abilities. The Great Cave Heaven was indeed different from other places.

brush!
The sand serpent burrowed into the sand again and used the Sand Escape Technique.

Without hesitation, Chen Guan took to the air and soared into the sky.

Although the secret laws had no effect on his body, who knew if the Sand Serpent's secret techniques and treasures had any powerful destructive force, so Chen Guan was unwilling to take the risk.

When the sand snake emerged from the sand and discovered that Chen Guan was no longer there, it immediately began to croak loudly at Chen Guan in the sky.

Chen Guan was surprised. It was the first time he had ever heard the sound of a snake. The sound didn't sound like a snake, but rather like the hoarse croaking of a frog.

Although he couldn't understand snake language, he could tell that the snake was provoking him.

"A snake dares to provoke me? It must be tired of living." Chen Guan unleashed his pure Yang sword light, sending countless sword beams hurtling towards the sand snake from a distance.

The sand snake stood there motionless, its cold eyes simply staring at Chen Guan.

Chen Guan's sword light, as bright as a galaxy, was blocked by an invisible wall of energy not far from the sand serpent.

All the sword beams were blocked outside the invisible wall of energy; not a single sword beam could cross the threshold.

Chen Guan looked at the sand snake standing there arrogantly, but secretly sneered in his heart: "Let you be arrogant for a while, let's see how long you can be arrogant."

Of all abilities, only using one's innate talent does not require consuming vital energy.

No matter how powerful one's innate talent is, even Chen Guan's cheerleader soul can be used without consuming vital energy.

For example, Luo Yuanfei's dark fairy tale world can be opened without using energy.

However, even if it is a secret technique, it still requires energy to use, except for innate talents.

Different secret rules consume different amounts of vital energy.

Even the secret law that consumes the least amount of energy still requires at least one point of energy per second after activation.

Theoretically speaking, the more powerful a secret law is, the more vital energy it requires to consume.

Chen Guan's vital energy has exceeded one billion, so he is not afraid of depletion at all, but how long can the Sand Serpent last?
Like a waterfall of stars, the sword beams crashed down relentlessly, carving a giant crater in the desert.

The sand serpent was enveloped by the sword's edge, forming a spherical space with a diameter of about seven meters.

With Chen Guan's spiritual power, combined with the Pure Yang Sword Immortal, even the Seven Awakenings' secret treasure could be shaken.

However, such a continuous offensive could not penetrate into that seven-meter space, which must be some kind of secret law. Only secret laws can ignore the intensity of an attack and forcefully repel the power.

At first, the sand snake was arrogant and indifferent, but as time went by, it gradually became restless and anxious.

A few minutes later, the Sand Serpent finally couldn't hold back and launched an attack, using its hidden power to create a giant rock serpent to fight against the Pure Yang Sword Light.

The giant onyx possessed terrifying power, yet it couldn't gain any advantage against the Pure Yang Sword Aura and was directly blasted apart by the continuous barrage of Pure Yang Sword Aura.

The spiritual power formed by the Nine Revolutions of Reversal is not comparable to the strength of the Seven Awakenings Secret Spirit.

Under the absolute suppression of the pure Yang sword light, the Sand Serpent exhausted all its means and its vital energy was depleted. When it could no longer support the secret law, its body was directly blown apart.

Unfortunately, the sand serpent left nothing behind but a shattered corpse. Chen Guan summoned Ghost Eye and Rouge, sending them to feast on the serpent's remains.

"Within a seven-meter radius, all attacks are ineffective against the Sand Serpent. Just now, the Sand Serpent only came near the Stone Demon without attacking at all, and the Stone Demon was already dead..." Chen Guan analyzed the current information.

Chen Guan quickly came to the conclusion that the Sand Serpent Secret Law should render some or all attacks ineffective from a certain distance.

If a living being enters this area, it will die instantly.

If a cultivator is unaware of the effects of this secret law and approaches the Sand Serpent's range, or is approached stealthily by the Sand Serpent using Sand Escape Technique, they might not even know how they died.

"It's really hard to live in the Great Cave Heaven!" Chen Guan sighed inwardly.

However, having roughly figured out the workings of the Sand Serpent's secrets, Chen Guan felt a little more at ease. Next time he encountered a Sand Serpent, he only needed to follow this principle and he wouldn't have to be afraid of it.

After Rouge and Ghost Eye had finished enjoying their treats, Chen Guan flew into the air again to search for nearby spirits.

After flying for another hour, Chen Guancai encountered another sand snake.

This time, Chen Guan launched a sneak attack without alerting the sand serpent. A sword beam shot out from afar, instantly severing the sand serpent's head before it could react and activate its secret technique.

"A mere sand snake, nothing special." Chen Guan silently gave himself a thumbs up in his heart.

To Chen Guan's delight, particles resembling yellow sand rose from the sand snake's body and flew towards him.

Before long, it condensed into a transparent crystal the size of an egg in Chen Guan's hand, within which strange light intertwined and flickered.

"The Secret Core has been found!" Chen Guan was overjoyed.

The Mystic Core is a valuable item. Although it cannot be absorbed and used by humans, it can be used to raise pets.

A level 60 pet can directly complete its seventh awakening by using a Mystic Core.

However, there is a drawback to this: after a pet awakens to its seventh level, it obtains the Secret Law, which is the Secret Law of the Secret Law Core, and has no chance to comprehend its own Secret Law.

Secret Law - Seven Steps Without Killing: Secret techniques cannot harm you from beyond seven steps, but poison everyone within seven steps.

"As expected, but it's weaker than I imagined. It can only be immune to secret technique attacks from seven steps away, and within seven steps it can only be poisoned, not killed instantly. If the King of Ten Thousand Poisons were to get within seven steps of it, it could kill it even with the secret law." Chen Guan first put away the secret law core.

Besides helping level 60 pets awaken to the seventh level, this thing can also be used to add secret laws to treasures. However, this requires a powerful craftsman to forge it, which Chen Guan himself cannot do.

Chen Guan wandered around the desert for half a day and only found a few sand snakes.

Aside from the second rule which gave him a Mystic Core, he received nothing else, not even a Mystic Technique Core.

"This place is a mess. No wonder the Ji family is too lazy to develop it. It's not worth wasting time here." As Chen Guan was thinking, he saw rolling yellow sand being churned up in the distant desert, with terrifying explosions of energy coming from time to time.

"Who is fighting?" Chen Guan was startled and quietly flew over from high in the sky, carefully observing the situation with his clairvoyance.

However, the yellow sand filled the sky, obscuring the view, and Chen Guan couldn't make out what the two sides fighting were.

After finally waiting for both sides to emerge from the sandstorm, Chen Guan discovered that neither side was human, but two mysterious spirits.
