Swallowed Star Chapter 970: Sudden Changes

In the central region of the floating cone-shaped mountain, Mosha body stared at the Space Heart, a crystal ball—an ingredient for original true treasures—and had a value comparable to such low-level true treasures as the Shi Wu Wings. However, because the crystal's surfaces were still displaying the five elements and the surrounding spatial cracks came into being and vanished continuously, it meant that the crystal ball hadn't fully matured yet.

"When on earth will it mature?" Mosha body wondered aloud, a bit apprehensive.

It was difficult for him to give up, but it might take as long as 1,000 years for it to mature.

"Waiting here for 1,000 years would be a small price to pay if I could obtain such a true treasure material," Mosha body said to himself. "Or I could head to Nine Remoteness Space and arrange for a soul slave to watch the crystal here."

******

While Luo Feng hesitated, the towering, three-faced figure flew into one of the 10,081 caves. The deep, dark, quiet cave meandered for hundreds of miles. Shrinking his godly body and shaking his snake-tail, the great being flew into the depths of the cave.

The great being's three ferocious faces were full of anticipation. "I can't wait any longer," he said. "My Space Heart… please mature quickly."

Swish!

The great being dove into the central region of the mountain. The moment his godly body enlarged to its original size, the great being's three faces gaped in astonishment at the sight of an undying-level-heir from the Ancestral God School standing beside the five-colored pool. At a glance, the knight of another race recognized this as one of the heirs of Bauhinia Island.

"Heir!" it bellowed.

Mosha body had assumed the appearance and simulated the breathing rhythm of one of the heirs. The knight of another race couldn't tell that Mosha body had shapeshifted into an heir.

"What?" said Mosha body, then turned around and looked. His eyes widened, dumbfounded. "A universe knight!"

Because the universe knight had concealed its breathing, Mosha body hadn't noticed his presence until the knight had reached the mountain center.

The knight's three faces grew more savage as Mosha body looked at him. The knight was furious to see an heir in the cone-shaped mountain. Had the heir conveyed the information to anyone? Usually, heirs wouldn't divulge the location of such a unique treasure, but there was the risk that even after he killed the heir in front of him, the news could be disclosed if the heir was revived.

"Die!" the universe knight roared. "Soul control! Destroy and kill him!"

The knight turned his head fiercely. Among his three faces, a single green face stared at Mosha body and deployed the soul control technique. By doing this, the knight could completely eradicate the chance of the information being leaked.

A virtualized godly force attacked Mosha body. Unaffected, Mosha body flew toward the five-colored pool like a gust of wind. In an instant, he had arrived at the space between the five-colored pond and the Space Heart above it. Standing there, Mosha body felt the essences of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth springing upward and converging into the Space Heart over his head.

"If you try to kill me, I will self-destruct," Mosha body roared furiously at the knight. "Surely you realize what will happen if I explode above the Five-Colored Abyss Flower."

"Stop!" The knight grew so frightened that the eyes of his three faces widened in anxiety. He knew the situation was dire. Usually, heirs at the undying level would not know the secrets of original true treasures, yet he had encountered an heir that was aware of the mysteries of the Five-Colored Abyss Flower and the Space Heart.

"Do not self-destruct!" said the knight anxiously.

Previously, the knight had only exerted soul control upon Mosha body to prevent him from leaking information. He hadn't tried to kill him with godly force for fear that the dominant godly force would affect the Five-Colored Abyss Flower.

The environment around the Five-Colored Abyss Flower was unique, but the self-detonation of an emperor-level-undying would be enough to lacerate the space, thus damaging the Five-Colored Abyss Flower. Although it would recover gradually over a long time, the Space Heart it had been creating would no longer be able to absorb energy.

"How is this possible?" said the knight. "He is unaffected by my soul control. How is he unaffected?"

The knight was vexed. When ordinary heirs dared to threaten him, he killed them by using soul attack. But since the heir in front of him could completely withstand his soul control, perhaps an attack from his godly force would also be futile.

******

As his Mosha body confronted the universe knight, Luo Feng's earthling deity, lurking in a cave 6 billion miles away, was stunned.

"A knight from another race," Luo Feng said, frowning. "I'm going to leave some tokens here and depart from this place for the moment."

Without hesitation, Luo Feng threw a Spatial Ring, which had been disguised as a stone, amid the many rocks in the cave. Then he immediately flew downward, isolated an energy ripple through the micro-detector, and had his slaves boot the God Country Transportation.

As the vague golden rays lit up, God Country Transportation was ready. Luo Feng stepped into it and was shuttled to the distant God Country.

******

In the central region of the floating cone-shaped mountain.

Hovering between the five-colored pool and the Space Heart, Mosha body looked at the knight who stood beside the five-colored pool.

Boom!

Suddenly, the optical computer on the protective sleeve of Mosha body's right arm exploded. Meanwhile, a dominant godly force suppressed Mosha body.

"Heir!" Instead of being anxious or furious, the knight had grown unconcerned. Looking at Mosha body, the knight said, "As an undying fighter, you can resist my soul control. Good for you. But, you are too stupid. You think you can threaten me by blowing yourself up? That might have worked while I was unprepared, but you won't be able to fight back now that I've had a bit more time!"

Buzz!

A membrane-like guarding shield, composed of and containing mighty godly force, coagulated above the five-colored pool.

"Do you think your self-destruction can destroy my godly-force protection?" The knight was very confident. "Besides, the receiver of your optical computer on your protective sleeve has been ruined by me. Hah! An heir probably has only one receiver bestowed by the guarding beast god. Unless you have a backup receiver, you won't be able to enter the World of Glory. The moment I found you, I went into World of Glory to supervise you, for fear that you might disseminate the news about this place immediately. But you didn't. I'm not sure whether you are stupid or kind."

Despite the fact that he was being constrained by the formidable force, Mosha body was not flustered. "You destroyed my World of Glory receiver, then guarded the Five-Colored Abyss Flower." Mosha body flashed a smile. "But do you think I am that witless?"

The knight was stupefied. Indeed, the heir's behaviors seemed unwise. Every heir was a talented fighter. How could this one have made such rookie mistakes?

"But you didn't connect to the World of Glory, nor did you send out the information," said the knight. "If you were connected to the World of Glory, I would have spotted you once you appeared in the open air square."

"You may have ruined my World of Glory receiver," said Mosha body, "but I still have a virtual universe receiver."

"Virtual universe?" The knight was stunned. "The virtual universe of the humans?"

"Very good." Mosha body smiled. "The instant I found you, I had left behind numerous messages in the virtual universe and set up the conditions to send. The messages will send the moment I become disconnected from the virtual universe. In that case, my friends and the super beings of my race will become aware of my disconnection."

The three faces of the knight were growing increasingly ferocious. He gritted his teeth.

Although Mosha body had shapeshifted into an heir of a race different from the human race, he could still possess a virtual universe receiver.

No matter how high the costs were, many other races had placed information networks within the virtual universe. That was because only messages from the virtual universe could be sent to any domain in the universe. Therefore, it was entirely reasonable for a peerless talent from another race—probably controlling a human slave—to carry an anonymous account receiver.

The knight glared at Mosha body. "What do you want? Tell me."

"My life is in your hands," said Mosha body, stalling for time. "Even if you give me some treasures, you will kill me immediately by the time you get the Space Heart. How can I trust you?"

******

In fact, when Mosha body found the knight, he planned to dive into the five-colored pool to escape. Thanks to his research in the virtual universe, Luo Feng had uncovered some secrets of the Five-Colored Abyss

Flower. There were five abysses in the Five-Colored Abyss Flower. If Mosha body dove into them, the abysses would transport him. However, since the Land of Origin would reject Luo Feng, his Mosha body could leave this place via the abysses. Normally, no universe knights—not even this knight of another race—would know the secrets behind the Five-Colored Abyss Flower.

But just as Luo Feng was about to execute his plan, he had changed his mind. For just as his Mosha body had flown into the space between the Five-Colored Abyss Flower and the Space Heart, Luo Feng had discovered something astonishing… and exhilarating!

The Life Crystal inside his Mosha body began emitting buzzing sounds.

The Life Crystal also had 10,081 surfaces, which had intricate space law engravings. The Life Crystal seemed to be resonating with the Space Heart above it as another bizarre form of energy transmitted into the Life Crystal and slowly transformed it.

Luo Feng had never heard of such a circumstance before, but it seemed beneficial to him. Both the Life Crystal and the Space Heart had 10,081 surfaces. They could both resonate with the Land of Origin and the law ocean, though the powers they contained were different. The resonance of the Life Crystal could make Mosha body's space law comprehension dozens of times stronger than it currently was. As a high-level material, the legendary Space Heart—once shaped into an original true treasure—could absorb the godly force 10,000 times faster than it could now.

Apart from their size differences, they were distinct in quality. A sector-lord-level Life Crystal could be easily destroyed by an undying fighter, while the Space Heart indestructible.

However, peculiar changes started to occur as Mosha body appeared beneath the Space Heart. Under the resonance between the Life Crystal and the Space Heart, energy was continuously transmitted into the Life Crystal. It was because of these changes that Mosha body talked to the knight to buy himself some time.

The knight opened his three mouths and roared ferociously. Three voices echoed in the mountain. "Damn it! Tell me, heir! What exactly do you want?"

"Let me think," Mosha body said with a frown.
