105: Chapter 105 Resonance of the Chaos Pearl, Obtaining Another Secret Treasure

Before Ye Tian could react, a desolate thought rushed into his Sea of Consciousness!

There were no words, only fragmented images and a powerful emotional impact.

It was deep in the starry sky, a tragic battle beyond description!

Stars shattered, and the sun and moon lost their light!

A blurry figure appeared; Ye Tian guessed it was likely the owner of this skeleton.

Holding a long sword, he fought a life-and-death struggle against a terrifying existence shrouded in black mist!

Sword light tore through the Void Realm, drawing upon the Astral Power of the heavens.

But that black mist was even more eerie, swallowing light and corroding everything!

Finally, a black beam as thin as a hair, condensed with an aura of destruction, pierced through the starlight defense and struck the figure's chest...

The images stopped there, leaving behind only a monstrous resentment!

"Hei... Sha...!"

Ye Tian had heard this name more than once.

It perfectly matched the incomplete information obtained from the previous light-green ring!

The impact of this residual thought was incredibly vast, far exceeding any Divine Sense attack Ye Tian had ever endured.

He groaned, his face already deathly pale, his body swaying as his Soul was nearly torn apart by this obsession!

If not for his firm will, his consciousness might have collapsed instantly, turning him into an idiot!

Just at this critical moment.

The chaos bead, which had been floating quietly deep within his Dantian, suddenly erupted with a violent vibration!

A gentle aura of Chaos erupted from within Ye Tian's body, instantly enveloping him and protecting the core of his Sea of Consciousness!

The aura of Chaos contacted the residual thought; instead of a fierce confrontation, they merged with each other!

That resentment filled with hatred actually began to calm down under the aura of Chaos...

Ye Tian felt the pressure suddenly decrease, and his mind regained its clarity.

He looked into his Dantian in shock at the chaos bead and the ripples appearing on its surface.

An unbelievable thought surfaced in his mind: Could it be that the owner of this skeleton and this ring shared the same Origin as the chaos bead?

Or rather, did this residual thought recognize the aura of the chaos bead?

At this moment, the Soul fires in the skeleton's eye sockets flickered slightly, transmitting a clearer fragment of thought: "The successor has gained the recognition of Chaos; my Dao is not alone.

This ring is named the star core ring. Inside is a wisp of the star core I condensed throughout my life, and the Taixu Star-Shift Steps Incomplete Manual to help you resist..."

"Crisis is coming, leave quickly..."

The thought ended there and completely dissipated.

Those two points of Soul fire quietly went out.

The skeleton lost its last bit of support, swayed slightly, and gradually fell into silence.

Peace returned to the cave, leaving only the thumping sound of Ye Tian's racing heart.

The amount of information was too much, making it difficult for him to digest for a moment.

Hei Sha again!

This existence had actually killed the great expert before him in such a distant era!

The skeleton owner's cultivation during his lifetime likely surpassed the True Martial Realm, or was perhaps even higher!

And the connection between the chaos bead and the skeleton's thoughts made the Origin of this bead even more mysterious...

Ye Tian quickly organized the information he currently possessed about the chaos bead in his mind.

It was an item passed down through generations of his ancestors, but they didn't know its Origin or even its name; they only knew it was a useless stone bead kept for remembrance, like a memento.

As for its uses, he currently only knew it could refine external energy and accelerate the absorption of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to aid in Cultivation.

Whether the item Master Xuan Gui lost, also named the chaos bead, was this very bead was still just Ye Tian's own speculation.

But one thing was certain: all events pointed toward two words.

Hei Sha!

"It seems only by finding this person can the mystery of the bead be solved."

However, although Ye Tian didn't know the extent of this person's cultivation, someone who could so easily kill a powerhouse beyond the True Martial Realm was definitely not someone he, a mere Ningyuan Realm Cultivator, could contend with right now.

"I must increase my strength!"

He took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and turned his gaze back to that dull ring.

Now, because of the resonance with the chaos bead, the fine patterns on the ring's surface were emitting a faint light.

He carefully reached out, and this time, without any obstruction, he gently took the ring off the skeleton's finger bone.

The ring felt cold to the touch and was exceptionally heavy.

When he probed the ring with his Divine Sense, a piece of information and two physical items appeared in his perception simultaneously.

The interior of the ring had a small space, much smaller than the qingxuan ring, but the spatial structure was stable and filled with Astral Power.

Two things were floating within the space.

The first was a crystal only the size of a grain of rice, yet it radiated a blazing white brilliance.

Although this crystal was small, the energy contained within made Ye Tian's heart tremble!

This must be the 'star core' mentioned in the skeleton's thoughts, likely the condensed essence of his entire cultivation!

The second was an incomplete jade slip, covered in flowing astral runes.

This should be the movement technique Incomplete Manual for the Taixu Star-Shift Steps.

At the same time, basic information about these two items flooded into Ye Tian's mind: "star core"

The Origin crystal of Astral Power condensed by the skeleton's owner, containing vast Star Power. It can assist in practicing the Star Qi Induction Art, greatly increasing the efficiency of absorbing and refining Astral Power. In times of crisis, it can also be detonated against enemies, but the power is difficult to control and can easily cause self-injury; it must not be used unless it is a life-or-death situation.

Refining must be done step-by-step, using the Star Qi Induction Art as a foundation, otherwise there is a risk of the body exploding.

"Taixu Star-Shift Steps Incomplete Manual," the first three levels of the Mind-Cultivation Technique for the Heaven Rank Low Grade movement technique, Taixu Star-Shift Steps.

Upon reaching Major Achievement, one can transform into the void and perform short-distance spatial flickers within a tiny area.

However, it is severely incomplete, with subsequent techniques missing, and cultivation requires an understanding of the Law of space, making it extremely difficult.

A Heaven Rank movement technique!

Even if it was an Incomplete Manual, it was enough to drive countless Cultivators mad!

And that star core was an even more priceless treasure, playing an irreplaceable role in his cultivation of the Star Qi Induction Art!

Ye Tian was wild with joy, but obtaining such a great treasure also meant he had taken on part of the Karma of this ancient astral Cultivator!

This was undoubtedly an extremely difficult path to walk.

After briefly processing all the information, Ye Tian remembered the skeleton's final warning: "Crisis is coming, leave quickly."

This place was not safe to stay for long!

He respectfully bowed deeply to the skeleton once more: "Junior Ye Tian will keep Senior's gift engraved in my heart.

I will surely Cultivate diligently and not fail Senior's heavy trust!"

After bowing, he quickly put the star core ring on his hand and then circulated the Star Qi Induction Art, attempting to communicate with the star core inside the ring.

Sure enough, as soon as the technique was activated, the rice-sized star core vibrated slightly, releasing a wisp of Astral Power that actively merged into his Meridians. It was quickly refined by the technique, at an efficiency more than ten times faster than his previous sensing of stars in the sky!

Furthermore, this power was gentle and lacked any sense of violence; it was clearly Origin power that had been refined by the skeleton's owner.

"Great! With this, the cultivation speed of the Star Qi Induction Art will advance by leaps and bounds!" Ye Tian's spirits were greatly lifted.

He didn't dare delay and immediately cast his Divine Sense toward the Taixu Star-Shift Steps Incomplete Manual.

With his current Realm, he could only barely understand some of the basics of the first level, which involved circulating true yuan through specific Meridians and a kind of perception of spatial fluctuations.

"It's indeed difficult, but once mastered, it will be my greatest trump card against enemies!"

Ye Tian prioritized the cultivation of this movement technique as his top goal.

The gains from this trip were enormous, but the sense of crisis was also growing stronger.

He took one last look at the skeleton, turned resolutely, and rushed out of the cave.

Outside, the soul-eroding black wind still raged, but Ye Tian's mood was completely different now.

He performed his movement technique, watched for gaps in the wind, and once again narrowly crossed that hundred-zhang rift.

However, the moment his feet touched the solid ground on the other side.

"Rumble!"

The entire earth suddenly shook violently!

It was more intense than any time before!

From far away, deep within the Black Wind Domain, came a roar that shook the Soul!

In the next instant, a trembling pressure swept over!

At the same time, the star core ring on his finger also transmitted a burning sensation!

"This is the crisis Senior spoke of!"

Ye Tian's expression changed drastically; that pressure was so strong it far surpassed the Ningyuan Realm, even giving him a sense of mortal threat!

He could no longer care about anything else, pushing the Blood Shadow Step to its limit as he fled for his life toward the upper levels of the rift valley without looking back!

He had to leave this Black Wind Domain, leave the Meteor Star Great Rift Valley as quickly as possible!

The roars and vibrations behind him were already getting closer and closer...
