The diamond-shaped crystal before him contained an astonishing aura of space, and every spatial dao pattern flowing upon it made Qin Chen feel as if his mind had completely merged with it, almost being drawn inside.
The magnificent spatial patterns were more perfect than any spatial structure Qin Chen had ever seen before.
With multiple diamond facets embodying 361 degrees, colorful lights flowed as if it were a treasure, suggesting that it was the most top-tier artifact in the world.
Qin Chen's breathing suddenly became rapid.
This was the first time he had seen such a terrifying spatial object; it was undoubtedly one of the most supreme treasures he had ever encountered.
"A treasure like this should be some core spatial object; perhaps it is the key to this space. As long as I can control it, I should be able to face the spatial blades here without fear and leave this place. But how can I control it?"
Qin Chen looked at the diamond-shaped crystal, troubled in his heart.
This diamond crystal was enveloped by countless fine spatial blades. With his current cultivation level, merely getting close to these spatial blades would rip his body apart, let alone control it.
"No matter what, I should try first."
Qin Chen made up his mind and suddenly appeared outside the Ancient Universe Tower.
The moment he appeared outside the Ancient Universe Tower, countless spatial blades seemed to sense his presence and actively slashed towards him.
"Spatial Maze!" Qin Chen was shocked. He never expected these spatial blades to possess such lifelike qualities. An invisible spatial power instantly spread out, and the surrounding spatial power rapidly folded together, forming a maze-like illusion to try and block the attacks of the spatial blades.
Some of the spatial blades were immediately deflected, but there were too many, like fine sand. Even though part of them was redirected, many spatial blades still struck Qin Chen.
Puff puff puff!
In an instant, blood marks emerged on Qin Chen's body. Even though the spatial maze had blocked some, the blood scabs that he had already healed were torn open again, turning him into a blood-soaked figure.
Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz!
Furthermore, countless fine spatial blades in the distance swarmed towards Qin Chen like a disturbed hornet's nest.
"Not good." Qin Chen was instantly alarmed. He had not imagined that these finely detailed spatial blades were completely different from those he had encountered before. He had not sensed incorrectly; these finely detailed spatial blades truly seemed to have life, like a massive school of fish, locking onto him in an instant.
If he were to be surrounded by such a multitude of finely detailed spatial blades, Qin Chen feared he would be torn to shreds in a moment.
"Run!"
In a panic, Qin Chen's figure suddenly vanished, returning to the Ancient Universe Tower at the first opportunity. But to Qin Chen's shock, after sensing his disappearance, the finely detailed spatial blades did not dissipate but instead continued to slash wildly toward the tower. In an instant, countless fine spatial blades surged towards the Ancient Universe Tower, repeatedly crashing against it with a series of sharp sounds.
Crack crack crack!
In Qin Chen's perception, the Ancient Universe Tower was under attack from so many finely detailed spatial blades, as if it were a sailboat caught in a tsunami, being battered continuously by massive waves. The finely detailed spatial blades quickly left many fine white marks on the surface of the Ancient Universe Tower.
Inside the tower, Qin Chen was covered in wounds, bleeding profusely, yet he paid no attention to his own flesh. His face turned grim as he sensed the external world surrounding the Ancient Universe Tower.
"This is troublesome." Qin Chen's heart sank.
Indeed, it was troubling. The previous spatial blades had been random and completely unpredictable, so every time he hid in the Ancient Universe Tower, only occasionally would some spatial blades strike the tower, causing it only slight scratches.
