Interception Failed

Get out of the way!

Two pairs of dice spun in my mind: one pair of 100s, the other of 57s!

The moment the judgment was successful, Luo Jun turned his head to the side, and the dazzling golden light swept across his cheek. Although it did not hit him directly, his skin still felt a burning sensation.

Can you fight back even if you lose your head?

Just as Luo Jun was in shock, he felt the monster beneath him begin to twist abnormally. The joints that he had locked creaked and twisted at strange angles, breaking his joint locks. Its wings also unfolded again and it took off!

Seeing that it was about to run away, Luo Jun could only hold on tightly, but he was pulled into the air along with it!

Just then, Old Yuan rushed forward and delivered a powerful punch to the monster's left wing. A large patch of wings shattered and turned into bloody dust. The monster lost its balance, and Luo Jun seized the opportunity to deliver two more punches, pulling it back to the ground!

At this moment, Zhuge Chi's Mental Shock also arrived. Although the monster had lost its head, it still had basic Mental Power to control its body. Under Zhuge Chi's interference, its limbs became uncoordinated and it was difficult to make an effective counterattack. It could only focus on restoring its damaged limbs first!

However, Luo Jun and Old Yuan would not give it that chance. The master and apprentice unleashed a flurry of punches, shattering the monster's body into pieces. The damage was far slower than the recovery!

"Live on!"

This means the monster has not been completely eliminated!

Since the dice were not working, all he could do was to circulate his internal energy to the fullest extent, trying to resist the energy that was invading his body!

Huh? This feels so smooth, it doesn't feel restricted at all!

That should be the end of it, right? Even the mummy inside has been broken...

Based on Old Yuan's experience, this high concentration of primordial energy is speculated to originate from deceased Deity. If the legends of the Ancient Parami are somewhat credible, then Karruth should be an Ancient True God, while other deities, such as the God of Judgement Arubian and the God of War Kairag, should all be Ascended Expert in ancient times.

No matter how strong Luo Jun's Root Bone or how high his magnanimity was, he was only at the Body Refinement Realm and didn't even have any internal energy. How could he possibly withstand the erosion of that energy?

"This incident is too complex to determine!"

"Ding! Event Difficulty 100 points, Final Points 96 + 5 points, Event Success!"

Upon closer inspection, all these flowing energies eventually converge at a single point—the monster's true weakness, its core!

What a well-hidden clue... It's like Hidden Qi, concealing the path of the energy flow. Without special perception, it would be impossible to detect!

"Grasp that core!"

Luo Jun laboriously turned his head to look down, and vaguely saw that the force field restricting the power had not reached the height of the gem. So that means...

It's at full difficulty?

She can see that too? No wonder she's one of Zhendan Eyes!

Luo Jun shouted excitedly, grabbing the core and immediately feeling a searing heat in his palm... But the core still refused to submit, suddenly increasing its force and carrying him upwards, changing its trajectory and heading straight for the dazzling gem!!

"No... it's too dangerous!"

At the same time, a massive amount of highly concentrated vital energy began to erode his body. Luo Jun felt as if he had fallen into a pool of sulfuric acid, with burning and stinging sensations all over his body!

Luo Jun concentrated and discovered that the Hundred Treasure Box could also be opened!

However, he is completely immobilized. Even if he could retrieve something, he could only hold it in his hand, making it difficult to use effectively... Moreover, none of his treasures are capable of dealing with this situation...

Finally, with a combined, powerful blow, the monster's body completely disintegrated, and amidst the swirling sand, there lay dried-up pieces of flesh and a filthy shroud...

"Ding! Event Difficulty 100 points, Final Points 91 + 5 points, time limit failed!"

What kind of ridiculous judgment is this?!

Luo Jun subconsciously looked up and, sure enough, saw a faint mass of primordial energy gathering upwards, condensing into a core as it rose continuously, its target... the enormous gem hanging at the top of the pyramid!!

It needs to get inside the gem... That's right, the entire pyramid, and even this entire space, all its power originates from that enormous gem...

Grandmother it, what's so complicated about this!

"It's done!"

But suddenly, Luo Jun's gaze caught a strange Vital Energy Wave!

Luo Jun thought he hadn't been specific enough, so he changed his wording. "To survive amidst the brilliance of the gems!"

Don't forget, after his perception Attributes Exceeding Hundred, Luo Jun's vision was already very different from that of ordinary people. Not only could he see colors that others couldn't see, but upon careful observation, he could even detect hidden Vital Energy Wave!

Vanished? No... Luo Jun carefully observed his surroundings, trying to find any clues. Just then, he heard Mu Ning's voice behind him. "Up there!"

"Grasp the core!"

Shocked, Luo Jun reached out to grab it, but the core suddenly vanished in a flash!

In the end, all we can do is rely on our physical strength to tough it out!

However, as he continued to operate, he discovered that the external energy was actually beginning to merge with the vital energy within his body!

This is... could it be absorbed too?

Luo Jun no longer has the Devour Ability Animal Crackers, yet he can still absorb the invading vital energy for his own use. This means that the vital energy emanating from the gemstone is highly compatible with his method of operation!

Luo Jun was well aware of this principle. Although he didn't have any detection tools, his exceptional senses told him that the large gemstone was not easy to deal with, which is why he chose to intercept it from the side to avoid crashing into it!

But now, once the core has been captured, it's as if it's grown into my hand, and I'm carrying it along all the way up, unable to shake it off!

Old Yuan shouted from below, "That's a high concentration of energy; no one can withstand it!"

As the first expedition team to arrive here, Old Yuan naturally investigated the gem above. Back outside, he had used a detection-type artifact to remotely scan and analyze it, and the results showed that it was a crystal of extremely high concentration of primordial energy!

"This incident is too complex to determine!"

Now, although the monster's body has been shattered, the flow of vital energy hidden within it has become clearer. In Luo Jun's eyes, this vital energy has not been scattered due to the destruction of the body, but is still running in an orderly manner.

We can't let it escape back!

Thinking of this, Luo Jun exerted force with both feet, stomping hard on the ground. The entire foundation of the pyramid trembled, and the powerful reaction force propelled him diagonally upwards. He kicked off the inner wall of the pyramid and flew diagonally upwards again, heading straight for the escaped core to intercept him!

Seeing that he was about to be swallowed by the dazzling light, Luo Jun had no choice but to summon the Dice of Heavenly Secrets.

But now, not to mention these gods, even the Parami civilization is almost extinct. Old Yuan speculates that the crystal in the sky is the legacy of the Ancient True God Karruth!

Enough to sustain the operation of a small world, and capable of instantly obliterating even Peak Expert the Heart Refining Realm, the energy contained in this crystal must be extremely vast, like a blazing sun. Ordinary Cultivators would perish if they got close! Even Peak wouldn't be able to withstand it for long... According to Old Yuan's estimation, below the Feather Transformation, no one should be able to resist the power of this thing!

Luo Jun cursed inwardly, but his mind was still analyzing the information in the prompt.

This is too complicated... This means that this matter cannot be resolved in one go. Surviving from the gem requires multiple steps!

So what is the first paragraph?

There was no time for him to think. Luo Jun had already crashed into the gem with the core in his hand. The gem seemed to have a huge gravitational pull, firmly sticking him to it. From below, it looked as if he was holding the gem in a starfish position!

Is this a chance to make a fortune?

But soon, Luo Jun discovered a problem!

Then the fused energy seems to have its own will and is not under his control at all!

What's going on?
