Jiang Luo immediately turned his attention to the second treasure.
A gigantic golden eye, nearly ten meters in diameter.
Around the golden eye, the fluctuations of the Space Origin Law—which had been extremely indistinct to his senses—became much clearer.
As he met its gaze, his consciousness seemed to enter a world filled with countless stars.
Each star moved along an intricate trajectory, and those trajectories seemed to contain the endless mysteries of the Space Origin Law. It was mesmerizing.
"Master!"
Wu He's call pulled his consciousness away from the golden eye.
"So this is one of the Space-Time Nightmare Beast's eyes you mentioned?" Jiang Luo exclaimed in amazement. "It's so miraculous. It even has the power to aid in comprehending the Space Law..."
The Space-Time Nightmare Beast was one of the Eighteen Royal Clans of the Demon Race.
It was born with two heads, one with a golden eye and the other with a silver eye.
The golden eye influenced space, while the silver eye influenced time.
When the Golden-Silver Eyes were used together with a Law Domain to unleash an Innate Secret Technique, they could multiply the domain's power.
And if one's comprehension of the Space-Time Law reached a certain level, the Golden-Silver Eyes could even grant the ability to nearly control the space-time around them.
According to the information Flint Star Sector Lord had left behind, the golden eye he'd obtained had actually belonged to a Universe Venerable-level Space-Time Nightmare Beast!
Though the Space-Time Nightmare Beast couldn't compare to the Starry Sky Behemoths' peak bloodlines, it was nowhere near as rare as they were.
But there were certainly very few Venerable-level Space-Time Nightmare Beasts.
Flint Star Sector Lord had actually possessed the eye of a Venerable-level Space-Time Nightmare Beast. If the Monster Race found out, they'd probably hunt him to the ends of the earth.
"This must have been Flint Star Sector Lord's great opportunity..." Jiang Luo sighed.
Even if it wasn't the most important opportunity he'd had, it had undoubtedly played a crucial role in his growth.
After placing the Eye of the Space-Time Nightmare Beast in his World Ring, Jiang Luo turned to the final treasure!
It was an oval egg about fifteen meters in diameter.
The shell was mottled and seemed to be covered by a thick layer of metal and rock.
Where the rock didn't cover it, the egg's reddish-gold shell was visible, adorned with strange white patterns.
It was an egg belonging to one of the twelve peak bloodlines of the Starry Sky Behemoths: the Flame Star Behemoth!
Wu He's eyes filled with sorrow. "I only just saw the information the old master left aboard the ship.
"This Flame Star Behemoth egg was the old master's greatest prize from the Outer-Region Battlefield.
"But it was also the reason he was gravely wounded.
"Not long after he returned, he passed away completely."
Jiang Luo reached out to touch the mottled shell. It felt like cold rock or metal.
He couldn't sense a trace of life.
It seemed to be nothing but a dead object.
"Is this egg really still alive?" Jiang Luo asked doubtfully.
Wu He explained, "Starry Sky Behemoths are rare and call the endless starry sky home, so their eggs have a self-hibernation mechanism.
"While hibernating, they're just like ordinary meteorites, without any signs of life.
"They can drift through the universe for hundreds of millions of years or even longer.
"Only when they encounter a suitable environment do they activate and begin incubating a Starry Sky Behemoth cub.
"As long as an egg like this Flame Star Behemoth's encounters a star, it can immediately absorb the star's power and begin to incubate.
"The master already used World Power to examine it. Though this egg has been hibernating for countless years, there's still life at its core. It'll recover if you place it inside a star!
"The old master planned to possess the Flame Star Behemoth once it hatched. He still had a long time before reaching the end of his lifespan.
"With the Flame Star Behemoth's body, his talents in the Law of Fire and the Space Law would improve many times over, allowing him to achieve even greater things.
"But who could've guessed that his soul would be gravely wounded on the Outer-Region Battlefield, leaving him unable to even use the Possession Secret Technique..."
At this point, Wu He looked at Jiang Luo with eager anticipation. "The old master designed his trial to test candidates for that Possession Secret Technique.
"Only those with sufficiently strong wills can cultivate it—and only they have a chance of possessing a Flame Star Behemoth!"
Jiang Luo couldn't help smiling.
It was only during the trial that he'd realized Flint Star Sector Lord had designed it to test a person's will.
Those whose wills were insufficient would die on the stairs.
With his state of mind already beginning to surpass the unity of heaven and man, passing the trial and climbing the steps to the top of the pyramid had been effortless.
The World within a World had opened several times over the past few thousand years, but no one had ever passed the trial. Everyone who attempted it had died on the spot.
As a result, the top powers of the Huanming Star Sector had assumed that Flint Star Sector Lord's standards for his successor's Law talent were simply too high.
That was why the Obsidian Company had grown so concerned that Jiang Luo might pass the trial and obtain the treasure after they suspected he'd acquired a token and crossed the threshold of an Origin Law.
In reality, plenty of Star Level geniuses who'd crossed the threshold of a Law probably wouldn't pass the trial.
A person like the Blood Demon, Thanses, whose spirit had been twisted and whose mind was troubled, would have had even less chance.
Facing Wu He's eager, excited gaze, Jiang Luo gently shook his head. "Don't get your hopes up. I won't possess this Flame Star Behemoth."
In terms of life level, cultivating the Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Map could also improve his.
His Gene Level had already reached six times that of an ordinary human, so he wasn't far behind the Flame Star Behemoth.
Besides, the Flame Star Behemoth didn't have Clone Talent.
If he possessed it, he'd have to give up his human body.
And his body wasn't an ordinary human body. It was the Thirteen Sword Fiend Body!
Even if a Golden Horned Beast were right in front of him, he wouldn't be willing to possess it.
Clone Talent?
He had all kinds of cultivation techniques and divine arts from the myriad worlds in his mind that could grant him clones. He just didn't have enough wish power to manifest them yet.
However...
Not possessing the Flame Star Behemoth didn't mean he couldn't make use of its peak Starry Sky Behemoth bloodline.
Good timing. I have enough wish power right now, and the first few levels of this technique aren't very expensive.
Jiang Luo's thoughts stirred. "Manifest the Mysterious Heaven Skill!"
The Mysterious Heaven Skill came from Tang San.
Of course, it wasn't the normal version but the mutated version from Rebirth of Tang San.
The mutated Mysterious Heaven Skill could devour other beings' bloodline abilities!
The Flame Star Behemoth should be a favored child of the Fire Origin Law. Its talent for the Space Law probably won't be inferior to the Golden Horned Beast's.
Once I devour this Flame Star Behemoth's bloodline, I'll make up for my biggest weakness for now.
His current problem lay in his strongest abilities:
Neither the powerful body granted by the seventh level of the Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Map, with a Gene Level six times that of a human's,
Nor the powerful Thirteen Sword Fiend Body,
could be used in the Virtual Universe!
In reality, he could crush Thanses, the strongest Star Level genius in the current generation of the Gu Lun Universe!
He was even strong enough that neither Thanses nor the major powers of the Huanming Star Sector suspected he was the one who'd obtained the treasure.
But in the Virtual Universe, he'd only barely made it through the third Trial Tower. Among the Star Level members of the Ancient Wheel Hall, he ranked 126th.
He could still be called an unparalleled genius of the Gulun Universe Kingdom.
But getting into the Giant Axe Arena or the Virtual Universe Company wouldn't be easy.
The Peak Warrior Battle, which selected Universe Level geniuses, would begin in twelve years. He was still nowhere near ready.
Jiang Luo had no patience to wait ninety years for the Giant Axe Arena to come to the Sacred Hall and select Star Level geniuses.
Just devouring the Flame Star Behemoth's bloodline probably won't be enough...
A year later.
On the photosphere of a star, Jiang Luo stood amid temperatures of five or six thousand degrees Celsius without the slightest discomfort.
With the seventh level of the Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Map combined with the Thirteen Sword Fiend Body, there were very few humans at the Universe Level whose bodies were stronger than his.
He could walk across a white dwarf as easily as if he were on level ground.
A reddish-gold giant egg floated before him.
The mottled patches had completely disappeared from its shell, and an aura and pressure that made one's heart tremble seeped from within.
In at most a few days, a newborn Flame Star Behemoth would hatch.
But Jiang Luo had no patience to wait.
He pressed his palm against the egg and began circulating the Mysterious Heaven Skill.
It was as if a mysterious connection had formed between something in his body and the bloodline within the egg. It drew him in like a magnet, and seemed to call to something like a mother.
Then a tremendous surge of energy began pouring into him, as if drawn by a lodestone.
