This is a Chaos Stele!

"No wonder Flint Star Sector Lord was able to rise so quickly..." Jiang Luo thought to himself.

According to the intelligence he possessed regarding Flint Star Sector Lord, the man had remained entirely "unremarkable" right up until he reached the Domain Lord level.

It was only after he went to the Outer Battlefield and returned to his home territory that he had already become a Sector Lord.

From there, he soared upward, eventually becoming one of the few Sector Lord-level Giant Axe Arena fighters in the entire Gulun Universe Kingdom.

Based on the final testament left by Flint Star Sector Lord within this Water Planet, this Golden Eye was something he had obtained on the Outer Battlefield.

Although Flint Star Sector Lord treated it like a priceless treasure, he had initially assumed it was merely the golden pupil of a Venerable-level Space-Time Nightmare Beast.

As one of the eighteen royal clans of the Monster Race, the most precious assets of the Space-Time Nightmare Beasts were their golden and silver pupils.

Even after death, the golden and silver pupils they left behind possessed various miraculous properties, containing fragments of the laws of space and time they had mastered during their lives.

This was especially true for a Venerable-level Space-Time Nightmare Beast.

However, Flint Star Sector Lord soon discovered the secret of the independent space-time contained within the eye.

It was not just an independent space-time; it contained the true essence of the origin laws of space!

It was precisely by relying on this that Flint Star Sector Lord was able to progress rapidly in the laws of space, taking only a few hundred epochs to reach a level of law comprehension approaching that of a Marquis-level Immortal.

Furthermore, he had even managed to fumble his way into a secret technique that could enhance his combat power:

He could project a portion of this vast space-time outward!

It was much like how a Sector Lord would manifest their own World Projection.

But the Space-Time Projection of the Eye of the Space-Time Nightmare Beast was far more powerful than a World Projection!

Even though Flint Star Sector Lord could only project a small fraction of this space-time, it could easily suppress the law domains of ordinary Immortal Spirits!

According to Flint Star Sector Lord's final testament, during his second trip to the Outer Battlefield, he had come into conflict with a powerful alien Immortal over a Flame Star Behemoth egg, and it was only by relying on the "Space-Time Projection" that he had managed to survive and escape.

He simply hadn't been able to evade the soul attack, which ultimately led to his demise.

As Flint Star Sector Lord became a Sector Lord-level Giant Axe Arena fighter and his status rose to the point where he could access more secrets, he realized that this Golden Eye was, in all likelihood, the golden pupil left behind by a great Space-Time Nightmare Beast Universe Master after their fall!

Jiang Luo nodded inwardly at Flint Star Sector Lord's conjecture.

He had found it strange when he first learned of this treasure within Flint Star Sector Lord's hoard.

As a royal clan of the Monster Race, let alone a Venerable-level, even a King-level or Marquis-level Immortal Space-Time Nightmare Beast would likely be resurrected.

Once resurrected, the space-time laws contained within the golden or silver pupils of the remains would certainly have dissipated, rendering them worthless.

Otherwise, the Space-Time Nightmare Beasts would have become targets hunted by numerous races.

Unless they were killed by special means that prevented resurrection.

But killing a Universe Venerable in a way that prevented resurrection was exceptionally difficult.

If this Golden Eye came from a Space-Time Nightmare Beast Universe Master, then it made much more sense!

After all, Universe Masters could not be resurrected.

After Flint Star Sector Lord guessed the truth, he was terrified; he even rejected invitations from the five great powers, choosing to remain a lone wolf forever.

Thinking of the final words in Flint Star Sector Lord's crystal ball, Jiang Luo's expression turned grave.

Because of the special nature of the golden and silver pupils of the Space-Time Nightmare Beasts, the Monster Race would not only try their best to resurrect every fallen Space-Time Nightmare Beast of Marquis-level or higher.

In cases where resurrection was impossible, they would spare no cost to recover the lost eyes of high-level powerhouses of the Space-Time Nightmare Beast clan.

After all, the Monster Race knew very well how the natural Beast Gods had been besieged.

Although the Space-Time Nightmare Beasts were far from being comparable to the natural Beast Gods—who were treasures from head to toe—the Monster Race still strove to take precautions using various methods.

Under the Monster Race's aggressive tactics, few powerhouses among the billions of races in the Primal Universe dared to covet the eyes of the Space-Time Nightmare Beasts anymore.

If you killed their high-level powerhouses, the Monster Race would resurrect them as soon as possible, making any eye that fell into your hands useless.

If you killed low-level Space-Time Nightmare Beasts, the space-time laws contained within their golden and silver pupils were minimal and held little value.

And a kill that could not be resurrected would force you to face the relentless, aggressive pursuit of the Monster Race.

Therefore, Flint Star Sector Lord emphasized in his testament that the successor who obtained his treasure must never reveal even the slightest bit of information regarding the Eye of the Space-Time Nightmare Beast.

"Then how did the Blood Demon King know?" Jiang Luo wondered.

"Right, it must be that when Flint Star Sector Lord faced an alien Immortal over the Flame Star Behemoth egg on the Outer Battlefield, he was forced to reveal his trump card, the 'Space-Time Projection,' under the threat of death, and then the Blood Demon King guessed it?"

Jiang Luo frowned slightly: "That's not right either. If one could guess it was the eye of a Universe Master-level Space-Time Nightmare Beast just by seeing the Space-Time Projection technique that Flint Star Sector Lord had fumbled together, then it wouldn't have been the Blood Demon King's turn to get it..."

The Space-Time Nightmare Beasts were only one of the eighteen royal clans of the Monster Race; in history, they had likely produced only one or two Universe Masters.

Once he entered the Giant Axe Arena, he would probably be able to find the identity of that fallen Space-Time Nightmare Beast Universe Master.

This meant that there were likely very few people in the entire Primal Universe who had ever obtained the eye of a Universe Master-level Space-Time Nightmare Beast.

The vast majority of people probably didn't even know that the eye could manifest a Space-Time Projection, let alone its specific function.

"Could it be that the other silver pupil of that unlucky Space-Time Nightmare Beast Universe Master was obtained by the Blood Demon King?" Jiang Luo mused, half-joking and half-guessing.

If the Blood Demon King possessed the other silver pupil, he would naturally have a deeper understanding of the functions of a Universe Master-level Space-Time Nightmare Beast's eye, making it easier to explain how he guessed the truth just from the "Space-Time Projection" displayed by Flint Star Sector Lord.

Jiang Luo shook his head, put down the crystal ball, and looked up at the brilliant stars in the boundless starry sky.

He immediately began to circulate the visualization technique left behind by the Flint Star Sector Lord within the crystal ball and started to observe.

He did not know how much time had passed.

The countless stars that were originally there suddenly underwent a change; one by one, the stars vanished before Jiang Luo's eyes as if they had been extinguished.

Trillions of stars dissipated at an incredible speed, as if the brilliant starry sky from before had merely been an illusion.

Very quickly, the entire starry sky was left with only 108 stars!

They orbited according to a trajectory so profound it was difficult to describe.

Those trillions of stars from just moments ago were actually nothing more than projections of these 108 stars!

The moment Jiang Luo saw these 108 stars, it felt as if scorching suns were crashing down upon him.

Following that, those scorching suns transformed into droplets of water, then into streaks of sword light...

Jiang Luo suddenly snapped back to his senses, his eyes filled with astonishment: "This is literally a Chaos Stele!"

"No wonder the Flint Star Sector Lord said in his final testament that this space-time contains the true essence of the origin laws of space."

Those 108 stars interpreted the 108 most fundamental mysteries of the laws of space!

It was now understandable how the Flint Star Sector Lord had been able to progress so rapidly in the laws of space.

This Golden Eye was indeed the greatest fortuitous encounter that allowed the Flint Star Sector Lord to rise to prominence!

The Immortal Gods behind the various factions of the Huanming Star Sector had all coveted the treasures he left behind after his death.

It was not necessarily because they were greedy for the Flint Star Sector Lord's wealth.

It was more that they believed the Flint Star Sector Lord's encounter was extraordinary, and that perhaps some precious treasure had been left behind.

"What a pity..." Jiang Luo sighed, "The Flint Star Sector Lord was ultimately defeated by his own lack of perspective."

Even with a Chaos Stele of the laws of space by one's side, one still needs the guidance of a sufficiently powerful teacher and the assistance of profound secret manuals to fully utilize the potential of this independent space-time.

And all of those things reside within the core layers of the five giants.

Yet, the Flint Star Sector Lord, fearing that his greatest secret would be discovered, chose to become a lone wolf, never daring to enter the Initial Universe or the Giant Axe Universe.

Perhaps in his view, wasn't the most precious thing in Chaos City the Chaos Stele?

With this Golden Eye capable of comprehending the true essence of the laws of space, how much worse could it be than a Chaos Stele?

"The shortcoming of a rogue cultivator is not just resources; what they truly lack is perspective."
