There was no beast core, no Five Elements Extreme Gold soul beast...
There was only a gigantic black "iron ball" covered in cracks!
At first, Lu Feng had thought this "iron ball" might be the beast core of some Extreme Gold-type soul beast.
Or perhaps the "egg" of an Extreme Gold Beast?
Yet upon sensing it, he could not detect even the faintest trace of life, nor was there any Beast Qi within it.
There was only endless chilling cold. The frigid Yin energy permeating these mountains likely originated from this strange iron ball.
Then he saw heaps of strange black metal scattered haphazardly across the mountain cave floor. They were made of the exact same material as the iron ball, confirming that it had been forged by human hands.
Though the metal pieces on the ground lay in disarray, they could roughly be divided into three piles, with each pile containing essentially the same kind of object.
These objects were long and narrow, shaped like lotus petals, yet somewhat like the leaves used to wrap rice dumplings. Their thickness, however, far exceeded either.
The only difference between the three piles of long leaves was their respective lengths and sizes. The longest of these lotus-leaf-like objects measured roughly a hundred centimeters, while the shortest was only palm-sized.
From its appearance, that mysterious "iron ball" seemed to have been assembled from these lotus leaves layer upon layer, wrapped into a spherical shape. The cracks covering its surface were precisely where those long leaves had been pieced together.
Lu Feng cautiously touched the iron ball. Seeing that it did not react and posed no danger, he casually picked up a Lotus Long Leaf from the ground and began examining it.
The long leaf felt icy cold, like the body of a sword
