481: Sun God Crystal

Xiao Zhuo didn't even bother to look at the two Heavenly Immortal Sea Beasts that chose to resist stubbornly.

His entire attention had been firmly drawn to the reddish crystal at the bottom of the sea.

As soon as his Divine Sense touched it, a scorching, vast, pure Yang power, as if originating from the core of an ancient star, flowed back, making his Divine Soul tremble!

"sun god crystal?!"

Xiao Zhuo's eyes suddenly burst with brilliant Divine Light, and he cried out in a low voice.

He had only seen graphic records of this item in ancient texts given to him by Hao Duo when he was in the Immortal-Demon Realm!

Legend has it that it was a supreme Divine Object formed by the condensation of the core essence of the Primordial Sun Star after it reached the end of its life, completely collapsed, and became dormant, containing the residual mighty power of an entire Sun Star!

Its grade had completely entered the realm of legendary Divine-Grade treasures!

He never expected to encounter such a Heaven And Earth Treasure, which only existed in legends, within the seabed crack of this Sea of Taboo!

If he offered it to the panel to exchange for Attribute Points... the number he would receive would surely be astronomical!

In an instant, Xiao Zhuo's heart burned with fervor.

His figure flickered, Space Law circulated, and he instantly appeared beside the sun god crystal.

Almost simultaneously—

"Pfft!"

The Chaos cutting line mercilessly swept across, and the Heavenly Immortal Sea Witch with a human body and fish tail was silently cut into two sections, blue blood and fragments of internal organs gushing out, dyeing the surrounding seawater turbid.

On the other side, "Clang—!" With a jarringly loud sound, the incredibly hard ancient shell of the Dragon-headed Giant Turtle was also cut open with a deep crack, its Immortal Light rapidly dimming, letting out a painful wail.

As these two overlords endured this terrifying blow, they were horrified to see Xiao Zhuo approaching the supreme treasure they were fighting over, and their eyes immediately split with fury!

The upper body of the severed Sea Witch suddenly opened its mouth and spat out a dark blue Natal Spirit Pearl, whose light surged, temporarily overpowering the red glow of the sun god crystal!

The blood from the severed part of its body gushed out madly like a living thing, transforming into countless deep blue threads, forcibly pulling and reattaching its Shattered Realm (Cultivation Class) body.

As soon as it recovered, it let out a silent but powerful mental shriek towards Xiao Zhuo: "Roar—!"

The shriek was like a command; countless sea beasts, whether True Immortal Rank or lower, that had been hovering and watching in the distance, instantly had their eyes turn red and chaotic, surging towards Xiao Zhuo like a tide, fearless of death!

Xiao Zhuo was about to use his methods to Seal the Divine Crystal, but this mad tide of sea beasts blocked him, and his brows immediately furrowed tightly.

Although the sun god crystal's energy was contained, it was extremely vast. With his Peak Profound Immortal cultivation, he still needed to be cautious and spend a lot of effort to set up a Seal before he could safely collect it.

Otherwise, if he rashly put it into his spatial storage, the terrifying heat would be enough to instantly incinerate all spatial barriers!

"Since you insist on seeking death, then... all of you, go to hell!" A cold glint flashed in his eyes, filled with killing intent.

With a slight movement of his Divine Thought, hundreds of thousands of fist-sized, incredibly complex and profound Spirit Group light clusters instantly appeared in the Void Realm around him!

The moment these light clusters appeared, they rapidly compressed and condensed. Within one-hundredth of a breath, they all transformed into countless rice-grain-sized Chaos light points, yet they emitted a heart-palpitating destructive fluctuation!

"Buzz—!"

The Chaos light points vibrated in unison, and the next moment, thousands of Chaos cutting lines, even more condensed and terrifying than before, erupted outwards in all directions like a tide of death!

"What?!"

The vertical pupils of the Sea Witch Heavenly Immortal, who had just activated the beast tide, suddenly constricted to pinpricks, and its face was filled with unbelievable horror!

And the Dragon-headed Giant Turtle, which had intended to sneak away, was scared Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, and with the fastest speed of its life, it 'whoosh' retracted its head into its damaged shell, frantically urging its Origin to reinforce its defense.

The next moment—

"Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! ..."

In the deep sea, countless splendid and cruel blood-colored flowers seemed to bloom instantly.

The red, green, and blue interwoven sea beast blood, minced flesh, and bone fragments exploded, dyeing the seawater for dozens of miles around turbid and murky, the strong smell of blood almost solidifying.

In the turbid currents, accompanied by intense water pressure fluctuations, countless huge, broken turtle shells, shimmering with faint Immortal Light, crashed onto the seabed rocks like meteorites, emitting dull and heart-shaking "thump-thump" thuds.

panel prompts kept popping up.

In the blink of an eye, he had already gained over three thousand Attribute Points again.

As his strength recovered to Peak Profound Immortal, his efficiency in harvesting Attribute Points surged exponentially!

Even with his past life memories, even without relying on the panel, his speed in re-cultivating the Free and Natural Heavenly Art would definitely be unparalleled throughout history, but with this panel... his improvement speed was simply unbelievable!

Having completed all this, Xiao Zhuo's gaze was as cold as ten thousand years of profound ice, slowly scanning his surroundings.

Within the range of his Divine Sense, the dark blue giant shark and the single-horned Dragon that had been quick to react and fled earlier had not gone far, still secretly lurking in the distance.

Witnessing with their own eyes the tragic end of their old rivals—the Sea Witch and the Dragon Turtle—who they had fought for countless years, at the hands of that human Cultivator, they suddenly felt a chill rush from their tailbones straight to their Heavenly Spirit Covers!

Relief, fear, lingering dread... all sorts of emotions intertwined.

Fortunately, they escaped quickly! Fortunately!

At this moment, being swept by Xiao Zhuo's emotionless gaze, the scales of the two sea beast overlords, who dominated their respective territories, all stood on end. Without the slightest bit of luck remaining, they turned without hesitation, erupting with their full potential, frantically fleeing towards the distant sea!

This time, they were truly fleeing for their lives, not even daring to look back, only regretting that their parents had given them too few legs (fins)!

Xiao Zhuo retracted his gaze and refocused his attention on the sun god crystal lying quietly in the indentation.

Just by gazing at it for a moment, he felt a burning pain in his eyes, as if staring directly at the scorching sun!

"What terrifying energy... even when dormant, its inherent mighty power is probably comparable to a small portion of my Main Body's energy." He felt a chill in his heart, "This is just a portion of the remnants after a Sun Star collapsed... I truly don't know how vast and boundless the Primordial Sun Star was in its prime."

It was no wonder that those Innate Sages, rumored to have been born from the core of the Sun Star, were at least Golden Immortal Rank existences as soon as they took human form, with Foundations so profound as to be despair-inducing.

At this moment, the sun god crystal was in a dormant period with its energy contained. Although its external temperature was extremely high, it was not yet untouchable, which gave him a sliver of an opportunity to Seal and collect it.

If it weren't for this layer of magical crystal wrapping it, facing the dissipated power of the Sun's core directly, even a Great Luo would probably have to retreat three paces.

"Spirit Group, Seal!"

Xiao Zhuo formed Immortal Seals with his hands, his Divine Thought highly concentrated.

Eighty-one Spirit Group light clusters containing Space runes appeared around the sun god crystal, above, below, and on all four sides.

Buzz!

Above the Divine Crystal, a huge circular energy array diagram appeared, trailing thousands of fine, crystalline light threads. Like living beings, they cautiously wrapped around the Divine Crystal.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss..."

Many light threads were incinerated and vaporized by the terrifying high heat naturally emitted by the Divine Crystal as they approached.

But even more light threads followed, one after another, eventually successfully touching the surface of the crystal.

Countless light threads wrapped around it layer by layer, gradually encasing the sun god crystal in a brilliant light cocoon.

Xiao Zhuo changed his Seal, and said in a deep voice: "Rise!"

The light threads exerted force in unison, slowly lifting the heavy Divine Crystal.

The moment the Divine Crystal left the indentation, the eighty-one surrounding Spirit Group light clusters simultaneously erupted with intense Space fluctuations. Countless translucent silver runic light lines connected all the Spirit Groups, instantly forming an incredibly complex three-dimensional Space Seal array!

"Seal! Collect!"

Xiao Zhuo pointed with two fingers. The sun god crystal, wrapped in a light cocoon, rapidly shrank, finally transforming into a transparent, thumb-sized Space crystal with a faint red glow flickering within, and landed steadily in his palm.

All the scorching aura and energy fluctuations were instantly and completely isolated.
