The voice shouted angrily before a hazy array of light suddenly erupted from the palace, shooting towards Qin Chen and the others, vanishing without a trace in an instant.
After Qin Chen killed the three men, he let out a cold laugh. These three thought they were easy to bully and wanted to seize his colorful spirit fruit and spatial crystal, which was truly naive. "Are you three alright?" Qin Chen turned to look at You Qianxue and the others. Just as he spoke, he noticed something was amiss. The ruins were in disarray from the previous battle, especially at the location of the spatial pool, where the ground was cracked with fissures, and strands of spatial pool liquid spilled out.
How could there be spatial pool liquid in these rock fissures?
Qin Chen immediately sensed that something was off. Could it be that there was something beneath the spatial pool?
A hint of excitement surged in his heart as he hurried to the bottom of the spatial pool. He then slashed with his sword, controlling the sword energy with his mental power to avoid damaging the structure of the pool's bottom. The already cracked bottom of the spatial pool was re-opened, revealing a crystal-clear pearl exuding rich spiritual energy quietly embedded at the base, as if it had merged into the void. If it weren't for the prior battle causing the crack, Qin Chen would have never found it.
"What is this?" Ji Ruoyue and the others exclaimed in shock, their eyes showing expressions of disbelief.
This pearl emitted a disconcerting spatial aura, as if merely touching it would cause one to be instantly obliterated by its spatial power. It was their first time encountering such a mysterious spatial pearl.
It resembled a spatial crystal, but it was hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of times more formidable!
It seemed as if this single pearl could contain all the spatial rules and mysteries of the world. "I don't know what this is either; everyone be cautious," Qin Chen said, watching the spatial pearl warily. He noticed that any spatial power that came into contact with the pearl would form tiny droplets of spatial pool liquid on its surface, slowly seeping outward.
Could it be that all the spatial pool water before was produced by this pearl? Were those spatial crystals also refined from this pearl?
Thinking of this possibility, Qin Chen couldn't help but gasp.
If that were the case, this transparent pearl was terrifyingly powerful, capable of naturally absorbing the spatial power of heaven and earth and refining it into incomparably pure spatial pool water. This was something even peak Martial Emperors couldn't achieve.
While Martial Emperor experts could traverse space and control spatial power to an astonishing degree, they could not condense spatial pool water and spatial crystals. Otherwise, the Tianwu Continent would be swarming with Martial Emperor experts.
Yet this mysterious spatial pearl could do just that. Wouldn't that mean that once they obtained it, they would have an endless supply of spatial pool liquid and spatial crystals?
The only question was how fast the pearl could condense spatial pool liquid, but even in the brief moment he observed, it had already formed several droplets of spatial pool liquid, proving that this pearl's speed of refining spatial pool liquid was definitely not slow.
Qin Chen reached out to grasp the transparent pearl, but he couldn't get a hold of it, as if it were truly ethereal. Instead, his hand was cut by the fearsome spatial power, threatening to tear apart.
He couldn't grab it?
Qin Chen tried to extend his mental power to store it in his storage ring, but after his mental power passed through, it remained as intangible as before, unable to be collected.
Should he try the Qian Kun Zao Hua Jade Dish?
Qin Chen took out the Qian Kun Zao Hua Jade Dish. This time, before he could make a move, the transparent pearl seemed to be drawn by some unseen force, instantly transforming into a stream of transparent light and merging into the Qian Kun Zao Hua Jade Dish.
