Chapter 233 Star Shift Order: The Heart of the Nebula
It was a token made of jet-black meteorite iron, with silver starlight shimmering on its black surface. The front of the token was inlaid with a black crystal core with 10081 facets. The surface of the crystal core was covered with complex golden patterns and emitted faint fluctuations, seemingly responding to the fluctuations of the universe.
"This is the Star Shift Token," said the being in the darkness. "Once you refine it, you will know the information it contains. I can also tell you here that the Star Shift Token can only be truly activated after you reach the level of comprehending the essence of space 108. It can achieve short-distance teleportation."
"Teleportation?" Suk's eyes widened as he examined the token.
Isn't that something that can only be achieved by comprehending the three advanced mysteries of space? Those who can teleport are basically at the peak of the King-level.
"Can it really teleport?" Suk couldn't help but look at the black token. The 10081 faceted black crystal core embedded in it made him feel even more mysterious and unpredictable.
"Of course," came the affirmative voice from the darkness, "but you'll need to comprehend all 108 spatial essences first, which is no easy feat."
Of course, it's not easy. In human history, during the time of the "Lianluo" Realm Lord, it took him 3000 years of comprehension in Chaos City to fully comprehend the 108 kinds of spatial essence.
Even if a realm lord lacks the necessary aptitude, he might not be able to comprehend it even after spending tens of millions of years.
Simply put, this is even more difficult than achieving immortality.
This reminded him of the secret weapon of the Yanji Continent, the "Arm of Locking the Sky," which had a similar function and could achieve a similar effect even without mastering the "Spatial Lockdown" technique.
But that was the pinnacle of a civilization's achievements; it was incredibly difficult to manufacture, and there are fewer than a hundred pieces in the entire universe combined.
However, this Star Shift Token was directly crafted by a great being using ingenious methods, making it superior in every aspect.
The difference between the two might be that the "Arm of Locking the Void" requires a huge amount of energy to activate, while the "Star Shift Order" does not, but requires a thorough understanding of the essence of 108 spaces in order to activate the secret runes on it.
"What does short-range teleportation mean? How far can you teleport?" Suk asked.
"One to two light-years, I guess," the being in the darkness explained. "That's a normal distance; most Kings who have mastered teleportation can travel that distance."
Suk nodded. The token was indeed a rare treasure, but it was useless to a king who could teleport.
However, those who cultivate the laws of time may care about this, since it adds another powerful method.
Suk put the token away. Comprehending the essence of space is difficult for others, but for him, it only requires enough time and effort.
However, he hasn't even fully grasped all 108 aspects of the nature of time yet.
Never mind, I'll put it away for now and deal with it later.
Suk thought that was the end of it, but the being in the darkness continued, "I've observed that, little guy. You've already cultivated the Death Star Vine to the ninth level of Domain Lord, haven't you? That's truly remarkable. In that case, I'll give this to you as well."
Not over yet?
Whoosh! A streak of light flew over, and Suk couldn't help but look over.
Inside the ball of light was a black, oval-shaped stone with cracks on it. Countless firefly-like lights flowed in and out of the cracks like water, constantly circulating.
It's just a stone, yet it gives people a sense of boundless vastness and grandeur, like the starry sky.
"This is...:::" Suk's pupils suddenly dilated. This item was very similar to a treasure he had seen in the Virtual Universe Company's vault.
"The Heart of Nebula?" Suk blurted out.
The being in the darkness said, "That's right, this is the Heart of the Nebula, a treasure that can accelerate the evolution of the Death Star Vine. The master was conducting research in this star field, but the process failed and destroyed the entire star field. This star field was destroyed because of the master's experiment. The infinite and vast life power of the planet was guided by the master and accidentally formed these essence crystals, which are the Heart of the Nebula."
Suk looked at the strange black stone in the light with surprise. Such a large Nebula Heart was actually given to him?
The Heart of the Nebula is extremely rare, with incredibly demanding conditions for its formation and birth. A piece of the Heart of the Nebula the size of a walnut is worth more than the entire fortune of an immortal god, while the one in front of us is as big as a human head.
In many cases, the Heart of Nebula is not judged by quantity, but by quality.
The being in the darkness continued, "In my estimation, this Nebula Heart is enough to allow your Death Star Vine to successfully break through to the Realm Lord level and evolve to the ninth level of the Realm Lord in a very short time. A ninth-level Realm Lord Death Star Vine is stronger than an ordinary immortal god, and even ordinary immortals with weak survival methods would be easily killed when facing a ninth-level Realm Lord Death Star Vine!"
Suk nodded excitedly. He knew the potential of the Death Star Vine; it was even stronger than the Star-Eating Grass. Once the Star-Eating Grass evolved into the most perfect Thousand Vine Star-Eating Grass and broke through to immortality, it would definitely possess the strength of a peak King! Its vitality was even stronger than that of a human at the limit of Kinghood!
The Death Star Vine surpasses even the Thousand Vine Star-Eating Grass. Once it breaks through to immortality, it will definitely possess the strength to reach the limit of becoming a king! Its vitality has reached an unbelievable level!
Therefore, the Death Star Vine of the ninth level of the Realm Lord is also extremely powerful and can easily kill ordinary weak immortal gods!
But there's no such thing as a free lunch!
The universe is fair; the difficulty of breaking through to immortality, like the Starry Sky Behemoth or the Zerg Queen, is simply unbelievable.
The same applies to plant life; the more advanced a plant life is, the more ridiculously difficult it becomes to achieve.
It is to select and cultivate inferior plant life, making it easier to break through to immortality.
Even if we cultivate extremely resilient plant life, we may never be able to achieve immortality.
The resources required for the Death Star Vine to break through to the Realm Lord level are generally beyond the reach of even Marquis-level Immortals, and even King-level powerhouses would feel the pinch.
Although the Virtual Universe Company's treasure vault contains the Heart of the Nebula, its price is far too high. Even with Suk's current points, it is far from enough to buy enough resources to allow the Death Star Vine to break through to the Realm Lord level, let alone directly upgrade it to the ninth level of the Realm Lord.
"Thank you, sir." Suk happily put away the "Heart of Nebula".
He already knew the functions of the "purple little fish" and the "emerald green little tree," which were of little use to him at the moment, serving only as icing on the cake. However, the "Heart of Nebula" could directly enable the Death Star Vine to undergo a magnificent transformation.
It's heartbreaking to think about, but apart from the Myriad Things Nest, which is currently dormant and hasn't yet broken through to the World Lord level, Su Ke's strongest combat power is this Domain Lord-level Death Star Vine.
Let alone challenging immortals, one must be extremely cautious even when facing a realm lord.
"I have almost none of those heaven-defying methods that can further enhance my strength, such as genetic level, soul power amplitude, body amplitude, treasures, etc." Suk thought to himself.
He has always had very few means of survival, and ordinary ones are not very effective for someone of his level, while those who are powerful enough do not have the means to implement them.
However, once the Death Star Vine transforms into a ninth-level Realm Lord, it will have a powerful trump card to protect itself.
However, to be honest, Suk is not so easy to truly perish now. After breaking through to the Domain Lord level, he has a Primal Core Avatar. Even if the human body is killed, it can still be conceived in the Primal Core. As long as the Primal Core is not destroyed, he can be resurrected time and time again.
As for what the clone fears most: soul control or fire attack?
His "absolute self" gives him unparalleled resistance to illusions, making him almost impossible to be controlled by a soul, but he cannot resist the annihilation of a soul!
It's important to know that the clones are connected to each other. Soul Fire Strike can use the soul connection between the clones to kill them all!
Similarly, the soul can also control all its clones through infiltration.
There was nothing Suk could do about being forcibly annihilated by his soul.
However, as long as it is not soul control, even if someone is truly killed by a soul, they can still be resurrected by reversing time and space.
However, this might mean missing out on some unique and incredible opportunities in the universe.
If the protagonist of the original work were truly annihilated by his soul and perished, then if he were to reverse time and be resurrected, he might lose the heaven-defying opportunity of the "Nine Tribulations Secret Manual".
It's even possible that this opportunity is so extraordinary that it violates the rules of the universe, making resurrection impossible.
Therefore, Suk has always been very cautious and would never gamble on whether he could be resurrected after his death.
"Hmm..." The being in the darkness seemed to smile as it said, "Suke, you have great potential. This treasure is nothing but a drop in the ocean for my master, not worth mentioning. If you continue to cultivate the Six Nirvanas to a higher level, such as the perfection of the Fifth Nirvana, or even the perfection of the Sixth Nirvana, the rewards you will receive will far exceed what you have now. You might even gain the attention of my great master and have the hope of being accepted as his disciple. Work hard!" This time, the being in the darkness looked at Suke with even greater respect and offered encouragement.
"I will do my utmost," Suk said respectfully.
As for being accepted as an apprentice...
He was actually very curious about the person behind this mysterious planet, and had wondered more than once whether it was that scoundrel God King.
Although he has no status among the gods, he is just a blacksmith and his strength is at the bottom.
But Haolie was still a god-king. Even though he was reincarnated into the primordial universe and was restricted, he was still a giant. Even a small part of his subordinates was enough for the beings in the primordial universe to flock to him, and even the true gods would be envious and fight desperately for him.
After all, the famous "Star Tower" was forged by him unintentionally, although a mysterious golden light entered the Star Tower that was being forged along the way.
Even the Mountain-Sitting Guest couldn't see through that mysterious golden light. After joining, it also freed the Star Tower from the control of this god-king who was skilled in weapon crafting.
"I wonder what kind of shady dealings might be going on behind the scenes..." Suk thought to himself.
Putting everything else aside, Zuo Shanke has a lot of good stuff in his possession, such as the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual, the Star Tower, the Ranks Technique, the Secret Pattern School, and so on.
He was also the strongest weapon refiner in the secret universe, and could easily refine top-tier treasures. He could even refine treasures that were comparable to the supreme treasures, which were considered "treasures of the clan" by all races.
The ultimate treasures were already enough for the so-called pinnacle beings and universe lords of the original universe to fight to the death for.
In the primordial universe, taking the Mountain-Sitting Guest as a master was absolutely the best choice, even better than worshipping the Primordial Ancestor who was suppressed in the origin of the primordial universe.
"The Mountain Dwellers must be unique life forms in the universe," a thought suddenly popped into Suk's mind.
This reincarnation of the God-King might also be one of the most powerful and unique life forms in the universe.
However, the Mountain-Sitting Guest is already a true god. Those who reach immortality cannot be created through avatars, especially those powerful and unique life forms.
Perhaps there is only one in the entire universe, whose birth is immortal.
Although Suk had a guess that this planet might be related to the Mountain Dwellers, it was just a guess.
