Chapter 546: Core Crystal
Chapter 546: Core Crystal
A long black-haired handsome young man was sitting on the throne. On his shoulder, there was a cute raccoon-like creature that had white eyes, brownish-red fur, and a black and white striped tail. At the moment, this young man’s right elbow was resting on the armrest, and his head was resting on his right palm. He looked at the direction where Emperor Yassin took off and pondered.
“Damn! [The Throne of Chaos] could really penetrate through the invisible energy barrier of the Mythical Palace! I came to this small world without having to rely on the [Elemental Altar] and the [Elemental Gates]…… Does this mean that I could come and go from this place as I wish?”
This ability alone meant that the throne was priceless!
There were all kinds of natural treasures hidden in this place. It didn’t matter how bad the masters in the outside world wanted, they had to wait for 20 years before fighting for the 40 spots on the [Elemental Altar]. However, from now on, Fei would be able to come and go from this place with ease! Like his backyard garden, he could get any of the natural treasures in this small world!
He pretty much had a gold mine!
“Squeak! Squeak!” Little Raccoon on Fei’s shoulder suddenly started to make noises.
It jumped around and pointed at the pit on the ground. It was the deepest pit created by the body parts of the fire giant after it got obliterated by Emperor Yassin.
“Huh? Could it be that there is a treasure here?”
Fei thought as he moved [The Throne of Chaos] into the pit using his mind control.
The king knew that Little Raccoon was known as the treasure-seeking beast; it was ultra-sensitive to treasures. The fact that it was this anxious meant it discovered something significant.
In the deepest part of this pit, there was an orange fire that continued to burn.
The fire was about the size of a fist, and what was strange about it was that the flame was at the room temperature; no extra heat could be sensed from it.
“What is this? You mean this is the treasure?” Fei turned around and asked Little Raccoon that was jumping around on his shoulders.
The little guy nodded and pointed at the fire with its paws; the way it looked like this fire was similar to how men looked like beautiful women.
However, it seemed like it was a little fearful of this fire; it didn’t dare to approach it.
“Let me see what it is.” Fei walked down the throne. He covered his hands with a layer of silver energy before reaching out for the fire cautiously.
When he grabbed onto the orange fire, he still didn’t feel any burning sensation.
Instead, it was warm and smooth; it made Fei feel like he was in a hot spring.
“This should be…… The core crystal of a Sun-Class Lord?”
Fei realized that there was a red crystal-like matter in the center of the fire; it was about the size of half a fist, and it was a little soft like hard jelly. Fei was very familiar with the energy contained in it; it was very similar to the power of the fire giant that Domenech just summoned.
As soon as Fei returned to this small world, he first followed Emperor Yassin and Domenech and watched their battle from not too far away. By using the powerful stealth ability of [The Throne of Chaos], he was able to hide less than 1,000 meters away and view the ferocious battle.
His barbarian character was very sensitive to energy surges, especially when the energies were at a high-level. Therefore, he still had a vivid memory of the energy the fire giant showcased.
Fei was almost sure that the red crystal in his hand was the core of that fire giant.
“Domenech said that he burned his Sun-Class Core. After he got defeated by Emperor Yassin’s dragon fist, he didn’t have time to ignite the Sun-Class Core fully and had to escape in a hurry. The remaining Sun-Class Core was ditched and fell onto the ground alongside the body parts of the fire giant.”
Fei almost instantly guessed the origin of this red crystal.
He wasn’t far off from the truth.
“This is the core of a Sun-Class Lord. It is a high-level energy source, and it also contains the understanding of the natural laws from the perspective of a Sun-Class Lord. It is very rare. If a Full Moon Elite got his or her hands on this, they would be able to acquire the energy and the understanding of the natural laws, instantly becoming a Sun-Class Lord themselves without having to cultivate for dozens or even hundreds of years.”
Too bad that Fei couldn’t cultivate warrior energy or magic energy. Therefore, this item was useless to him.
“However, I can keep it for the warriors of Chambord. Once someone reaches peak Full Moon, they would be able to use it…… Wait, Emperor Yassin stayed here for several minutes; why didn’t he discover this crystal? Did he not sense it, or is this below him?” Fei thought.
“Whatever; it is useless thinking about them.” Fei shook his head and decided not to try to understand the minds of people like Emperor Yassin.
As he was about to seal this core crystal up using the methods that Akara taught him and place it into his storage ring, Little Raccoon that squatted on Fei’s shoulder suddenly made its move. After carefully observing the situation and realizing that this core crystal wasn’t dangerous, it jumped onto Fei’s hand and took a bit out of it as if it was a pine nut.
Puff!
Small dashes of fire instantly jetted out of this little guy’s ears, mouth, and nostrils. It rolled its eyes and staggered before falling on Fei’s hand as if it was drunk.
“Huh? This little guy can directly consume core crystals?”
Fei discovered that although this little guy was ‘drunk’, it wasn’t in danger.
After eating a small portion of the core crystal, its fur became smoother and shinier as if it bathed in olive oil, and its chubby body became even fatter.
“Damn! Such a greedy little guy! You deserve it!” Fei laughed and ‘scolded’ Little Raccoon since it couldn’t even move; it just looked at him with blurry eyes.
Since it was Little Raccoon that discovered this core crystal, a small portion belonged to it.
After returning to [The Throne of Chaos], Fei suddenly sensed two energy surges about 100 kilometers to the west.
“This surge…… Sh*t!”
As if Fei realized something, his face changed color. [The Throne of Chaos] lightly shivered, and Fei, Little Raccoon, and the throne all disappeared.
……
“Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Yassin! I, Domenech, swear that I will make you pay! I guarantee it with the honor of my family name!”
As soon as Domenech escaped, he ran like a lunatic. He feared everything he saw since he felt like Yassin was everywhere around him.
Therefore, this fear of Yassin made him burn his remaining Sun-Class Core even more, and he dashed away at an insane speed.
After he traveled for more than several hundred kilometers and could no longer sense the familiar energy surge behind him, he finally calmed down a little.
“Damn! I lost so much this trip. More than half of my Sun-Class Core is used; if I didn’t suck in pure fire elements along the way, I might have dropped below the realm of Sun-Class. Why! Why! Why is this b*stard, Yassin, this strong? How can he battle against a Sun-Class Lord as a peak Full Moon Elite?” he thought.
Domenech thought that he would be able to defeat his nemesis after advancing into Sun-Class, but he was beaten like a homeless dog. Although he was angry, he was more confused.
It was rare for a peak Full Moon Elite to defeat a Sun-Class Lord without using any external help such god-tier combat weapons.
“Fortunately, this is the core region in the Mythical Palace. The natural elements are abundant here, and the natural laws are very clear. I should be able to recover after ten days of cultivation. Humph! Once I return to the Leon Empire, I will inform Emperor Juninho. The troops of the empire will move north and easily wipe out Zenit!”
As he thought about that, he slowed down and looked for a hidden place to cultivate.
Suddenly, a subtle yet gloomy energy surge attracted his attention.
“Someone is trying to advance into Sun-Class here? This power……. Terrifying. It is gloomy as an abyss and deadly…… What is this? Undead Energy? Not exactly…… Who is it?”
He was intrigued by this unique energy surge.
He used a stealth technique and tried to move closer to the mountain in front of him.
He saw all the masters who entered this small world, but he didn’t spot anyone who was on the verge of advancing to Sun-Class.
“Who is it? Who has so much accumulation that he or she is confident in advancing? From the look of it, it seems like this person is about to succeed. Is another Sun-Class Lord going to be born?”
Domenech felt lucky. He was a Sun-Class Lord, and he knew a lot of secret techniques for Sun-Class Lords. If he could entice this person who was about to become a Sun-Class Lord and promise this person a lot of rewards using the name of the Leon Empire, he might be able to convince this person to join him. If they could coordinate well, there was still the possibility that he could kill Emperor Yassin in this small world.
