Chapter 964: Space-Time Spirit
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Although Li Yunmu’s speed wasn’t very fast at that moment, given the cultivation difference between him and the other young talents, even if he wasn’t intentionally rushing and continued at a leisurely pace, the others couldn’t catch up to him, much less come in contact with him.
[Pay attention, this maze isn’t simple.]
At that moment, the system dropped a line indifferently and turned silent.
After Li Yunmu heard the warning, he wanted to enquire about some things, but the system ignored him, so he also didn’t continue.
Li Yunmu continued advancing forward. Since he didn’t know anything about the maze, he could only continue going forward. While doing that, he fully released his divine sense to detect any transformation in the maze.
Sure enough, he couldn’t underestimate the Yin Imperial Palace. Just as he entered, he fell into a formidable trap. It seemed like he would have to pay full attention on the path forward.
After Li Yunmu advanced for some more time, a distortion in space appeared. The surrounding environment, which had been completely calm until then, suddenly filled with a reek of blood. It was very strange, but what caught Li Yunmu’s attention was a sharp killing intent that permeated the air and was coming toward him.
Upon sensing the tremendous change in environment, he became even more vigilant. He once again told himself that the place wasn’t simple and began to survey his surroundings cautiously.
Sure enough, the killing intent sensed by Li Yunmu attacked him from the back and aimed in the middle of his spine.
“Hmph, trying to be a smartass!”
Li Yunmu coldly snorted. His figure shook once, and a powerful force suddenly erupted, shattering the attack coming toward his back.
Soon after, a figure was jolted out of the void. It had a small body, like that of a child. Its upper body was naked and covered in tattoos while there was a strange mask on his face. In his hand, a dagger flickered like it was made of ice.
Judging from the shine of the dagger, it was clearly covered in poison.
The creature shrieked miserably. Its voice was extremely sharp, and Li Yunmu’s mind trembled slightly.
After that, the creature slashed in front of it with the dagger and created a spatial crack. Its figure flickered, about to disappear in it, but how could Li Yunmu let it run.
He grabbed the creature within the void and crushed the spatial crack. Once it was gone, the creature came out of it fully.
After it was thrown on the ground, it spat out purple-black blood and looked at Li Yunmu viciously.
[Eh? How can this space time spirit appear here?] the system asked in astonishment in Li Yunmu’s head.
“Space time spirit? What’s that?”
After hearing the unfamiliar term, Li Yunmu became curious and asked about it.
[This space time spirit is a special species existing in this world. They possess an innate affinity with spatial energy and can easily open spatial cracks to freely travel between different worlds,] the system explained.
“Then why was it trying to assassinate me?”
Li Yunmu couldn’t understand why the space-time spirit had tried to sneak attack him. According to reason, there shouldn’t be any enmity between the two of them.
[I don’t know that…] the system said indifferently. After that, regardless of how much Li Yunmu called for it, it didn’t answer.
Li Yunmu was left somewhat speechless, but after looking at the space-time spirit in front of him, he could not understand how to deal with it. He couldn’t just put it inside the heavenly world. Once it woke up, it would just leave.
But there was no need to kill it either. Li Yunmu didn’t find it necessary to become enemies with the strange creature.
While he thought about his options, the space-time spirit lying on the ground stood up.
It chanted out some spell in an incoherent voice, and an enormous spatial crack appeared in front of it. After that, its body flickered and disappeared into the crack.
[Keep pace with him!] the system ordered.
After Li Yunmu heard it, his figure flickered, and he entered the crack. Once he came out, the space-time spirit had already disappeared, but Li Yunmu found himself in a different place.
He observed his surroundings and confirmed that he was still within the Yin Imperial Palace. However, he had left the strange passage.
At that moment, Li Yunmu was standing in an enormous stone room. Once he surveyed his surroundings, he discovered an enormous sword in the middle of the stone room.
Half of it was buried inside the ground while the hilt of the sword was tightly bound by four iron chains. The ends of the four iron chains were all within enormous balls of light.
Li Yunmu observed them carefully, then involuntarily took a deep breath. The four balls of light were formed from the light emitted by ocean monarch stones which were the size of a human head.
Even in the Origin World, a single palm -sized ocean monarch stone could make numerous powers fight over it, so Li Yunmu hadn’t expected that he would surprisingly find four of them, and ones which were so much larger.
The ocean monarch stones didn’t have many special characteristics. First, they provided immunity against soul attacks, and second, they provided immunity against water-attributed martial skills.
But just these two characteristics were enough to show its strength. It was said that if anyone possessed sufficient ocean monarch stones, they could even comprehend water-attributed laws.
What were laws? Even emperor realm powerhouses didn’t have the qualifications to comprehend them. Only after breaking through the emperor realm and attaining the sovereign realm could they possess the qualifications to comprehend them.
A sovereign could wipe a hundred emperors out of existence with just a wave of his hand.
Five emperor came out of a hundred immortals, and three sovereigns came out of a hundred emperors.
Why was it difficult to attain the sovereign realm? It was because of people’s inability to sense the existence of laws and comprehend them. All emperor level powerhouses wanted to take things one step further, but they could not.
But if they possessed ocean monarch stones, they could begin to comprehend the laws. After they reach the great circle of the emperor realm, they could step into the sovereign realm.
Because of that heaven-defying effect, ocean monarch stones were considered extremely precious!
But Li Yunmu didn’t let profit cloud his eyes. The four ocean monarch stones, which were the size of human heads, were suppressing something, so how terrifying was that object?
Li Yunmu walked forward and began to inspect the enormous sword. There was an enormous stone tablet in front of it.
There were a few words written at the front.
‘I had accidentally obtained this sword, but I couldn’t take control of the sinister energy inside it. By the time I discovered this, it was already too late.’
