Chapter 623 - 617: Target Locked
It’s undeniable.
This time, Lin You’s harvest from clearing out the Tree Demon Nest was truly enormous.
First and foremost were the Rule Fragments he desperately needed.
This time, he killed almost two hundred S-level Lord Demons, each granting 80 fragments, totaling 16,000, almost equivalent to what he had gathered in the past three days.
Next were the Faith Fruits from the Origin Universe.
He immediately gained 400, and with the Lord Demons he defeated in the past few days, he finally broke through the 3,000 mark.
Moreover, after absorbing the energy of the Lord Demons, the civilizations in those star systems developed significantly, entering an era of universal cultivation.
It was almost akin to the transition from the ancient era to the arctic era.
However, what delighted Lin You the most was the recently acquired Life Leaves.
[Life Leaves (Plant Type): A treasure condensed from one of the Ten Great Primordial Forces. Using it grants 5,000 Rule Fragments directly.]
Unlike the Original Force Treasure obtained in the Tier Ten Space, the Original Force Treasure in this Tier Eleven Space had a much more solid aura and wouldn’t quickly dissipate after being taken.
Most importantly, the Rule Fragments obtained from using it were multiplied by 5, reaching up to 5,000 pieces!
This was equivalent to the revenue of an old kingdom for over three months.
It would probably attract a lot of Lords to compete for it.
Though Lin You urgently needed Rule Fragments, after some hesitation, he decided to store the leaves in the Origin Universe.
A second later.
The leaves were immediately drawn in, turning into a stream of light and merging into the World Tree, making the Rule Power within the Origin Universe more complete and solidified.
Then Lin You opened his personal interface to check the effect of the Time Law Skill.
[Time Law (Active): Forms a Time Domain within a range of 13.9 meters, altering time flow speed, consuming 10% of Rule Power per second, unaffected by skills other than Time Law, effect enhances with Origin Space, maximum time multiplier: 3.9 times]
It actually increased by 0.4 times?
Lin You was pleasantly surprised. The effect of these Life Leaves was twice that from Tier Ten Space.
If that’s the case, can Original Force Treasures from outside the Plant Type also receive a 0.2 times boost?
If that’s true, he must gather more Original Force Treasures.
If he can strengthen the Time Law to 5 times, or even over 10 times, then he wouldn’t fear facing opponents with Nine Divine Formats.
"Great, let’s check other places."
Having made up his mind, Lin You wasted no more time, immediately teleporting away from the forest, heading towards other Original Force Treasures.
Meanwhile.
The light pillars in the space were also continuously reducing.
Gradually decreasing from the initial 99 to more than 80, clearly indicating that other Lords had started competing for the Original Force Treasures, and he must speed up.
If all else fails, he’d have to directly withstand the attacks of the Lord Demons to seize the treasure, anyway, he had plenty of life-saving skills.
With this in mind.
Lin You immediately accelerated his teleportation speed, continuously traversing through the void.
As time passed, more and more Lords arrived after hearing the news, flocking into the large Demon Space, making the entire space lively.
Everywhere, there were figures fighting with Lord Demons, and even clashes among the Lords, all competing for the various Demon resources and Original Force Treasures.
Some even didn’t hesitate to engage in intense fights, resulting in chaotic battles in various places.
For instance, where Lin You was heading, a white light pillar was already in chaos.
"Haha, I’ll take this Lord Demon."
"Trying to snatch the Demon I fancy? You’re ten years too early!"
"Get lost! This place belongs to us now!"
"Owned by you? We’ll see if you’ve got the strength, kill them all!"
Shouts echoed around the light pillar, species and Demons were in chaos, fiercely battling outside a temple shrouded in Holy Light.
And those Demons were actually S-level Angel Type Lord Demons, continuously emerging from the temple, blocking the Lords from entering.
Upon close inspection, a faint glimpse of a high platform in the temple center could be seen with an Angel Statue placed on it, a treasure condensed from Angel Type Original Force.
Snatching it was akin to killing 50 SSS-level Lord Demons, so naturally, the Lords wouldn’t miss such a treasure and began fighting among themselves.
Before long, the Lords had killed more than half of the Lord Demons, leading their species into the temple.
Seeing the Original Force Treasure within reach, the Lords showed joy on their faces, burst into acceleration, and moved in quickly.
Unexpectedly, an incident occurred.
Beside the light pillar surrounded by numerous Lord Demons, a sudden spatial distortion appeared, and a figure was headed straight for the Original Force Treasure.
"Not good! Someone’s trying to snatch the Original Force Treasure!"
"Stop him, quick!"
The Lords were both shocked and enraged, wanting to intervene.
However, many of them only sneered, showing no intention of acting.
Because beside the light pillar were over a hundred S-level Angel Type Angel Type Lord Demons, all possessing powerful Attack Skills.
Even a top-tier Nine Divine Formats expert teleporting in would be severely injured instantly, only a fool would go in directly offering themselves in death.
Even though 5000 Rule Fragments were abundant, it wasn’t worth risking life and limb for.
"Peaceful Domain!"
Yet at that moment, a calm voice echoed.
An ancient tree appeared in the center of the encirclement, emanating an invisible ripple, enveloping the entire inside of the temple.
The Angel Demons had just gathered Holy Light preparing to unleash skills when they were disrupted by the ripple, dispersing into energy in the air.
Taking this chance.
Lin You extended his arm and seized the Angel Statue.
Then, under the astonished gaze of all the Lords, he disappeared from the spot with the Forest Sage in an instant teleportation, leaving behind an empty high platform.
Silence.
The entire Divine Hall was quiet.
The Lords stared dumbfounded at the spot where the Angel Statue was originally placed, only reacting after a while.
Then, a cacophony of pig-like squeals and angry roars filled the Divine Hall.
But this had nothing to do with Lin You anymore.
By now, he had already crossed the space, teleporting thousands of kilometers away and concealing his aura to hide.
After confirming that he had shaken off the tails chasing him, he finally calmed his agitated mood and excitedly took out the just-snatched Original Force Treasure.
[Angel Statue (Angel Type): A treasure condensed from one of the Ten Great Primordial Forces. Upon use, directly obtain 5000 Rule Fragments.]
He did not expect the process of snatching the treasure to be so smooth.
Without losing a single troop, relying merely on the Invincible Skill of the Forest Sage, he snatched it from under the noses of so many Tier Eleven Lords.
If it weren’t for the long recovery time of the Peaceful Realm, he would have wanted to use this method to snatch all the Original Force Treasures.
Without further thought, he immediately placed the Angel Statue into the Origin Universe for the World Tree to absorb, then checked the changes in the Time Law Skill.
As he guessed, it increased by 0.2 times, finally successfully breaking through 4 times, reaching 4.1, and it shouldn’t take long to reach 5 times.
At this time.
Within the entire space, only seventy light beams remained.
Soon after, he teleported away again, continuing to rush to the next location of an Original Force Treasure.
...
An entire afternoon.
Lin You spent the time snatching and searching for Original Force Treasures.
Thanks to his various Invincible Skills and Time Law, by nightfall, he managed to obtain four Original Force Treasures, one of which was Plant Type.
This instantly raised the effect of his Time Law to 5 times.
Originally, he wanted to obtain more.
But gradually, he realized that when the 33 outer Original Force Treasures were divided among the Lords, the Demon guardians of the remaining deeper treasures were upgraded to SS-level.
Moreover, the numbers were even more terrifying, reaching thousands.
Not just him.
Even the top Lords with eight or nine Divine Formats were blocked by this layer of Lord Demons, slowing the destruction of Original Forces significantly, and it had been a while since a light beam disappeared.
At this rate, the final 33 treasures will likely be surrounded by SSS-level Lord Demons, with their numbers further increasing.
To destroy all Original Forces and induce the appearance of the Space Core, it might take ten days or half a month.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he could gather more Rule Fragments and work to boost his strength.
As he was contemplating.
The 33rd light beam, symbolizing the location of an Original Force Treasure, finally completely dissipated, transforming into light spots and disappearing between heaven and earth.
"Boom——"
Suddenly, a loud noise rang out.
The entire Demon Space immediately began to quake violently.
Then, a series of alerts sounded in the minds of all Lords.
[Attention Lords, one-third of the Ten Great Primordial Forces have been destroyed, the first Space Core has appeared.]
[Please proceed to the designated location, destroy the Space Core, and complete the ultimate task.]
[All participants in the task will receive corresponding rewards.]
...
???
The first Space Core appeared so soon?
Upon hearing the alert, Lin You was momentarily stunned.
He originally thought the three Space Cores would appear together only after all Original Forces were destroyed, but it turned out they appeared in phases.
One must know.
Destroying the Space Core could obtain a designated Divine Format.
Even if unable to snatch it, participating in the task could earn 10,000 Rule Fragments, definitely a profitable deal.
No more hesitation, he immediately looked around, soon discovering on the other side of the space, multicolored Original Force brilliance rapidly converging on a spot, clearly the location of the Space Core.
He immediately tore through space, teleporting over there.
During the teleportation, a private message suddenly popped up in front of him.
"Brother Saint Protection, I found the target, need your help, reply upon receipt."
Lin You glanced; it was a message from Beidou King.
Choosing to act at this time, it seems he plans to leverage the chaos induced by the Space Core to eliminate Lords from other realms.
Indeed, such opportunities are rare.
Just in time to repay Beidou King’s favor from before.
Lin You thought for a moment, then directly replied to inquire about the meeting location, and swiftly headed toward the Space Core.
Simultaneously, from various directions of the Demon Space, the Lords from different realms who received the messages gathered rapidly, hurrying in the same direction.
A brawl is about to commence!
