Chapter 222: Core Of The Void
At the auction house, the host waved his hand, and a transparent gem, sparkling with dazzling light, appeared before everyone.
When the light slightly dissipated, they looked closely.
The transparent gem had thousands of external facets and countless internal reflective surfaces, refracting light. If one’s cultivation was even slightly lower, they wouldn’t even be able to clearly see the gem’s original appearance.
"Super.... diamond?!"
Qin Mu muttered in confusion at the sight.
"With the Universe’s technological level, cutting tens of thousands of reflective surfaces into a finger-sized diamond shouldn’t be difficult, right?"
Hmm?
That’s not right!
Is this Space Law!?
Qin Mu was almost blinded at first glance, but on the second glance, he focused his senses and realized something was off.
Within the Metaverse.
Items are perfectly replicated, and their inherent fluctuations are exactly the same as in reality.
The spatial fluctuations intermittently emanating from this super diamond were extremely profound.
It wasn’t just the cutting; the reflected light could actually refract spatial fluctuations in multiple directions.
Twisting, suppressing, accelerating, and even light rays that, after being refracted, directly disappeared into the Void Breaking.
This gem was rapidly eroding the surrounding space!?
Hiss
"What a profound Space Law!"
Qin Mu couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.
With his understanding of space, he couldn’t comprehend its profoundness and principles, only guess at some of the changes within it....
"void core?"
"Such a thing, they can even get a complete one?"
"Amazing!"
"As expected of the Cosmic Bank...."
"Rumor has it that the Void Race possesses a trace of the Origin of Space Law, is favored by the will of the universe, and their combat power is formidable. However, the key is that they are extremely difficult to hunt."
"As long as a Void Race member reaches adulthood, they possess at least Star River Level combat power, and ninety percent can achieve a Breakthrough to Star Domain Level."
"If space is water, then the Void Race are fish. Space is simply too easy for them to manipulate. Such jealousy !!"
...."This void core, judging by its size, should be Star Domain Level, but it’s somewhat damaged...."
"Hmm.... indeed."
"That’s such a pity."
"A damaged void core cannot be repaired by anyone. Its erosion of the surrounding space is irreversible. Holding it is like holding a super black hole that could collapse at any moment."
"No! It’s ten thousand times more dangerous than that!"
"Without a certain level of strength, one probably can’t even observe or comprehend it."
"If one forcibly possesses it, they might directly perish during comprehension, torn apart by space."
....The host waited for the venue to quiet down a bit before smiling and speaking.
"As you can all see, the void core is indeed shattered, but this is only the beginning of its fragmentation."
"The Cosmic Bank cannot guarantee the exact time of its collapse, but its stability for seven days in an undisturbed state can be vouched for."
"If a Divine Marquis Level powerhouse suppresses it, one can observe and comprehend it with complete peace of mind."
As soon as these words were spoken, someone in the venue immediately retorted, "My Qingxuan Realm probably doesn’t have a Divine Marquis Level powerhouse, does it?"
"If we did, the guidance from such a powerhouse alone wouldn’t be any less effective than observing this void core."
"Exactly!"
"This thing is just a chicken rib "
....The host was not angry, smiling gently and saying,
"Normally, this shattered low-grade void core would naturally be worthless."
"However, as I just said, this core can remain stable for seven days."
"A core that is shattering will instead display a richer Space Law and also touch upon the Origin of space more deeply."
Hiss
Some people in the venue secretly gasped.
"That’s right."
"It’s useless to us, but for the Pinnacle Battle, it’s quite beneficial."
"If a Star River Level Genius can comprehend a trace of profound Void Law within seven days, the improvement in combat power will be significant."
"Good!"
"This item, my Luol Temple wants it!"
"Hahaha, Bishop Lorie, don’t be so impatient. The auction hasn’t even started yet, and it’s not certain who will win."
Hmph.
"The Laya Alliance has never cared about Geniuses, so why the sudden interest today?"
....The host didn’t pay attention to the stage below, raising his hand and bringing down the gavel.
"Star Domain Level, shattered void core, no-reserve auction begins, five-minute time limit."
Bishop Lorie was the first to speak: "100,000!"
"Ha? Only 100,000?!"
The powerhouse from the Laya Alliance was also direct, immediately saying, "500,000!"
"700,000!"
"1,000,000!"
The surrounding powerhouses also called out prices.
With the Cosmic Bank guaranteeing seven days, safety was assured.
Although the time was short, for a Genius, it could be an opportunity for an Epiphany.
Moreover.
This void core could be comprehended by oneself while also being used by the younger generation for comprehension. This was why the starting price quickly broke a million.
This auction was prepared for the Pinnacle Battle, and representatives from various factions were using public funds.
If an item purchased could be used by both powerhouses and Geniuses, its value would certainly not be equivalent to something that only benefited Geniuses.
Qian Wu’s high valuation for the Divine Weapon also reflected this understanding.
Qin Mu was not concerned with the price, but with its utility.
"What do you say? The void core is shattered, do you still want it?"
"And."
"Just now I heard someone mention Void Law, what is that? It’s not in the basic Laws."
Mm-hmm
Ao Mengmeng nodded and said, "Although it’s shattered, if we have enough funds, we can still consider acquiring it."
"Furthermore."
"The Universe’s eight fundamental Domains, evolving into Laws, plus the special Space and Time, constitute all the Laws of the Universe."
"As for Void Law, it’s just a name."
"This is the Ten Thousand Races of the Universe’s praise for the Void Race’s exclusive spatial talent."
"Any Space Law in the hands of the Void Race will display a profundity and power different from ordinary people."
Tsk
Ao Mengmeng scratched the Dragon horn on her head: "How to explain it?"
"This princess remembers my father...."
"Cough cough."
"This princess remembers records within the Dragon Clan that the original Void Race were born in special spatial rifts. These Void Race members were very close to the Origin of space, which allowed them to comprehend a trace of the Origin of space."
"Some also explain that the Void Race are favored by Space Law, and space has special privileges for them."
"Of course, these explanations aren’t important. The key is that Void Law is indeed formidable."
"Even if outsiders cannot master it, if one can comprehend its profundity, it can greatly enhance one’s understanding of Space Law."
Speaking of this.
Ao Mengmeng looked at Qin Mu, with an expression that seemed to say, ’You’re such a Genius, surely just a quick glance will bring you immense gains, right?’
Qin Mu:....Holy crap!
You want me to comprehend it?
What the hell would I comprehend!
Qin Mu stated, I really have no interest in Cultivating; I simply enjoy leveling up.
"No money, let’s forget it for now."
Useless things, would Qin Mu spend several million to buy them home and display them as gems?
What a waste of money!
"No, it really can greatly increase the speed of spatial comprehension."
Ao Mengmeng asked in confusion:
"How about you take another look?"
"Perhaps, even just looking at it here, you’ll gain something "
"The Metaverse is just like reality. Looking at it now, you can still comprehend it...."
Qin Mu rolled his eyes, just about to speak.
Ding!
[System Tip: Special existences, special items, and special treasures in the Universe can all increase leveling efficiency.]
What the hell?!
What do you mean by that?
Qin Mu was bewildered.
"System?!"
"Come out and explain, quickly! What does ’increase upgrade efficiency’ mean?"
"Ding! Literally, increase upgrade efficiency."
"Under normal circumstances, 1 upgrade point corresponds to 1 Realm or Cultivation Technique, Law, innate secret technique Rank."
"After increasing upgrade efficiency, 1 upgrade point can improve multiple Realms or Cultivation Techniques, Laws, innate secret technique Ranks."
"For specific effects, refer to the critical hit after consuming spirit marrow."
Damn it!
spirit marrow critical hit?
That’s a Heaven-Defying effect, isn’t it?
10 bottles of spirit marrow.
One bottle down, his Domain could be maxed out from Rank 7, and his Law would quickly advance two Ranks.
Ten bottles down, his Space Law could even reach Rank 20!
Does this mean that the void core can also provide a critical hit effect?
This .... he had to be excited!
Qin Mu’s eyes gleamed: "I haven’t read much, so be direct. How many critical hits can the void core provide, and what are the effects of those critical hits?"
"Ding! According to System detection and estimation, after fully analyzing the void core, it can provide at least 7 critical hit opportunities."
"Each critical hit will increase Space Law comprehension by 1-3 layers and has a small chance to convert ordinary Space Law into Void Law."
Hiss
After hearing that, Qin Mu felt a slight tremor throughout his body.
Seven critical hits, at least 7 more layers of Law upgrade effects, and it could even transform into the unique Law that only the Void Race could master.
What kind of Divine Rank gem was this?
Damn it!
Buy it! Just buy it!
"3 million!"
Qin Mu didn’t even think, directly raising the price to 3 million on top of everyone’s 1.8 million price .... "Hiss!?"
"Who is this !"
"Why is the price suddenly doubled again?"
"Do you understand the rules?"
Everyone was raising the price by tens of thousands, in the heat of the bidding, when suddenly a bucket of cold water was poured on them.
Heh.
Qin Mu wasn’t interested in wasting words with them this time.
Before, it was to secure all the spirit marrow, just to stall their bidding time. This time, the duration was a bit long, and if it dragged on, it would be unnecessary to waste money for nothing.
The crowd couldn’t find the culprit and subconsciously turned their gaze towards Qin Mu’s private room.
"It couldn’t be that mysterious person again, could it?"
"Hmm, very likely!"
"He even bought the spirit marrow, there’s no way he wouldn’t want this space-element treasure."
"Tsk."
"Damn it!"
"It’s clearly a one-time item that can only be used for seven days, worth over three million. What is he thinking?"
"I even thought two million was outrageous."
"If it weren’t for someone paying, who .... *cough cough*, if it weren’t for the Pinnacle Battle, who would pay a high price for this thing?"
....The host was not just a mere decoration; he certainly wouldn’t just watch if he could save time and increase the selling price.
"3 million once, any higher?"
"The Pinnacle Battle of 50,000 years, any Genius who can leave a mark will be able to stand at the Peak of the Human Race and have their name recorded in Star History."
"Space is the watershed between the Star River and the Star Domain."
"If there is no space comprehension, it’s impossible to pass even the thirtieth layer. If one doesn’t fully master an application of space direction, along with suitable combat methods, there’s basically no chance of reaching the fiftieth layer."
"In the Universe, any treasure that touches the Origin of space is priceless. And the void core is the cheapest and most cost-effective among these items."
Good heavens.
