The Spirit of the Liuyu Crystal

"The Liuyu Crystal has actually given birth to a spirit?!"

Jiang Yao was filled with shock and horror. This was a genuine Mechanical Flow Treasure component, and the spirit it generated must be terrifying. The key point was that the Liuyu Crystal Spirit clearly harbored ill intentions towards him.

Just as he was about to refine the Liuyu Divine Mountain, it suddenly launched an attack, seemingly trying to devour all of his will and consciousness.

However, Jiang Yao soon discovered that, in his shock and struggle, most of his will and consciousness had actually broken free from the vortex formed by the Liuyu Crystal Spirit.

The Liuyu Crystal Spirit was not as terrifying as he had imagined.

He could sense that the Liuyu Crystal Spirit had just awakened from its slumber, its will both chaotic and frenzied, transforming into octopus tentacles that coiled around Jiang Yao's will, preventing him from leaving the Crystal Stele.

The wills of both sides became intertwined within the Crystal Stele.

"You're Universe Venerable?! How can you possess such a powerful will?"

After failing to completely devour Jiang Yao's will Liuyu Crystal Spirit roared in horror, "Universe Venerable cannot enter!"

After discovering that the Liuyu Crystal Spirit was not as powerful as he had imagined, Jiang Yao calmly made a judgment. "Universe Venerable! This Liuyu Crystal Spirit probably possesses the willpower of Universe Venerable, and not just any ordinary Universe Venerable!"

Although the Liuyu Crystal Spirit has a low level of willpower, it wields extremely strong power.

The entire Crystal Stele trembled, and Liuyu Divine Mountain shook violently. After the Liuyu Crystal Spirit regained consciousness, it seemed to be able to draw upon the immense power of the Divine Mountain. The Liuyu Crystal Spirit, wielding this powerful force, once again extended countless tentacles to grab at Jiang Yao's will.

Jiang Yao's will and consciousness had been partially devoured by the Liuyu Crystal Spirit before he could react, and under extreme pain, he was no match for the Liuyu Crystal Spirit.

With a thought, Bizhang Split Soul, Huanming Split Soul, and Chiling Split Soul all rushed out of the Xu Yuan Space and entered the Crystal Stele to fight against the Liuyu Crystal Spirit with him.

Four wills coalesced into a single rope, struggling to resist the devouring Liuyu Crystal Spirit.

The Liuyu Crystal Spirit roared, "Even Universe Venerable cannot escape! By devouring you all, I will surely regain control of the Liuyu Crystal!"

"A severely injured and dormant spirit wants to devour me?" Jiang Yao sneered. With a thought, Huanming Split Soul once again used its Origin Secret Technique "Water Origin Calamity Fire". Of course, it would not succeed, otherwise he probably would not be able to withstand the backlash from the laws of the universe's operation again.

However, even though it was only halfway through its execution, the arrival of the Water-Fire Fusion Law brought a Great Destruction and Great Calamity to the Liuyu Crystal Spirit's attention, causing it to slow its attack slightly.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jiang Yao broke free from the shackles and entanglements of the Liuyu Crystal Spirit, withdrawing all his will and consciousness from the Crystal Stele and returning it to his body.

"You bastard! You dared to lie to me! I'll eat you alive, I promise!"

Startled by the half-finished application of the Water-Fire Fusion Law, the Liuyu Crystal Spirit angrily gave chase, eventually entering Jiang Yao's body.

Jiang Yao did not resist, but directly entered the Xu Yuan Space and opened the "gate" of the Xu Yuan Space.

The Liuyu Crystal Spirit had chased after Jiang Yao's sea of consciousness, excitedly followed him into the Xu Yuan Space: "Haha, you can't escape! The Liuyu Crystal is my world! All life that enters the Liuyu Crystal World will eventually be devoured by me!"

"Where... where am I?"

The void shifted, and when the Liuyu Crystal Spirit regained its senses, it found itself in a boundless and unfamiliar world, yet it could not sense any connection to the Liuyu Crystal!

This place feels like another universe, another world!

A massive shadow obscured the Liuyu Crystal Spirit.

"Welcome to my world." Jiang Yao, like a towering giant, looked down at the tiny Liuyu Crystal Spirit that had manifested with countless tentacles.

"You..." The Liuyu Crystal Spirit was about to struggle when it felt an unstoppable force descend upon it.

"Aaaaah, if I had known, I would have destroyed the entire Liuyu Crystal World before I fell into slumber, rather than leave it to you!" The Liuyu Crystal Spirit roared, then its rage abruptly ceased.

With a single thought, Jiang Yao harnessed the power of the Xu Yuan Space to completely annihilate the Liuyu Crystal Spirit.

After a long while, Jiang Yao opened his eyes, a thoughtful look in them. "No wonder the Liuyu Crystal Spirit is so weak."

The Mechanical Flow Treasure "Liuguang" was severely damaged, and its Supreme Treasure Spirit was destroyed as a result. At the same time, the Liuyu Crystal also detached from the Mechanical Flow Treasure "Liuguang". After a long time, the Liuyu Crystal, this Supreme Treasure component, gave birth to a new spirit.

It was later discovered by a powerful Zerg Bilong Universe Master. Bilong Universe Master realized that he could not enter the inner world of Liuyu Crystal to control it through the refining of the central core. He could only become the owner of this Supreme Treasure fragment by subduing the Liuyu Crystal Spirit.

However, the Liuyu Crystal Spirit did not want to acknowledge the Bilong Universe Master as its master. In response, the Lord of the Azure Mound used terrifying methods to severely injure the Liuyu Crystal Spirit, leaving it with only a sliver of its consciousness. Yet, it still stubbornly refused to acknowledge the Bilong Universe Master as its master, and thus fell into a deep sleep.

However, before falling into slumber, the Liuyu Crystal Spirit stipulated that only beings below the level of Universe Venerable could enter the Liuyu Crystal World, because it, having been severely injured and left with only a trace of its consciousness, might not be able to withstand the will of Universe Venerable.

Any being below the level of Universe Venerable who enters, regardless of their number, will be devoured.

Even if Lanshang or Jiang Yao didn't try to refine the Crystal Stele to control the Liuyu Crystal World and thus awaken it, the day the Liuyu Crystal Spirit naturally awakens from its slumber will be the day all life in this world dies.

"I see..." Jiang Yao looked at the Crystal Stele in front of him. "If it weren't for me, the Zerg Mother Emperor Lanshang would have awakened the Liuyu Crystal Spirit when she reached the final stage of refining it, and then been devoured by it."

The Zerg Mother Emperor Lanshang's will was also outstanding, but it still couldn't reach the Universe Venerable level. Even in front of the Liuyu Crystal Spirit, who only had a trace of damaged consciousness left, she was powerless to resist.

"If I hadn't entered the Liuyu Crystal World, it would have been almost impossible for anyone to refine this treasure. Even an Immortal God with the willpower of Universe Venerable would certainly be no match for the Liuyu Crystal Spirit had slightly recovered after its slumber."

Perhaps the Liuyu Crystal Spirit was just severely injured by the Bilong Universe Master the Zerg and was on the verge of slumber, could not deal with the will of Universe Venerable level. However, after so many years of slumber, the Liuyu Crystal Spirit, which had recovered slightly, was no match for even the will of Universe Venerable level. Jiang Yao's main body's will and the three fragments of the Desolate God each had the strength of Universe Venerable level's will, but even they could not withstand it together.

If it weren't for his Xu Yuan Space, unless he used a self-destructive move like "Water Origin Calamity Fire" again, he would have been completely unable to subdue the Liuyu Crystal Spirit.

Besides Jiang Yao, perhaps only Luo Feng, whose soul had been fused with the Star Tower Bead, could annihilate the spirit of the Flowing Prison Crystal.

"That was close!" Jiang Yao couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had acted early, and also fortunate that the Zerg Mother Emperor had pressured him. Otherwise, if he had continued to wait, the Liuyu Crystal Spirit would have only gradually recovered in its slumber, becoming stronger and stronger, and could have devoured his will in an instant. At that time, he probably wouldn't have had the chance to bring it into the Xu Yuan Space.

Jiang Yao once again infiltrated the Crystal Stele with his will. Just now, after his will withdrew from the Crystal Stele, the crimson color began to rapidly drive out the black color, almost destroying his nearly thousand years of achievements.

"Does this mean I'll have to waste hundreds of years again?" Jiang Yao frowned, then his eyes lit up. "So fast?"

To his surprise, the Crystal Stele was refined very quickly this time. In the blink of an eye, he had the ink color spread across the top of the Crystal Stele again.

His will did not suddenly increase significantly, which must be because he annihilated the Liuyu Crystal Spirit.

Even in its slumber, the Liuyu Crystal Spirit unconsciously mobilized the power of the entire Liuyu Divine Mountain to prevent anyone from attempting to refine it. If this obstruction were not an instinctive or even unconscious act of the sleeping Liuyu Crystal Spirit, Jiang Yao would probably not have been able to refine the Crystal Stele even after another ten thousand epochs.

Now, without the obstruction of the Liuyu Crystal Spirit, Jiang Yao's Universe Venerable level will is refining the Crystal Stele at a speed tens of thousands of times faster.

"One month! At this rate, I'll be able to completely refine the Liuyu Divine Mountain in less than a month!" Jiang Yao excitedly closed his eyes and once again immersed himself in refining the Crystal Stele.

In a valley not far from Liuyu Divine Mountain.

Several Immortal Expert of varying shapes and sizes were conversing in the valley.

"So humans really only have strength close to the Peak King-level?!" the gaunt Zhenxuan King exclaimed in surprise.

A colossal beast with over a dozen legs, resembling a spider, grumbled, "Last time I broke into the palace atop Liuyu Divine Mountain, the human you mentioned was actually skilled in two Path of the Beast God, his combat power far surpassing that of Peak King- level being. I was no match for him, but he wasn't as terrifying as you described."

"Hmph, it's probably one of his trump cards? There can't be many trump cards that can kill the Zerg Mother Emperor in one go, otherwise why did that human keep fleeing from our pursuit? You said that human is the disciple of the Chaos City Lord, so it's not an exaggeration to say that he has a trump card that can kill the Zerg Mother Emperor. But his strength as a human realm lord is definitely not Invincible King-level, that would completely violate the laws of the universe!" Another giant with eight eyes said to Zhenxuan King.

Zhenxuan King's expression was uncertain. Ever since that nightmarish event, Zhenxuan King, who had escaped from Liuyu Divine Mountain, was so frightened that he ran all the way to the ends of the world and entered the dangerous Space Fragment Storm, even though he did not find Jiang Yao chasing after him.

After hiding for hundreds of years and discovering that Jiang Yao was not pursuing him, he finally mustered up the courage to leave the Spatial Turbulence.

But Jiang Yao's terrifying attack that seemed to have brought the world to its end back then is still a lingering nightmare for him, making him afraid to approach Liuyu Divine Mountain.
