Chapter 413 - 413: An Unexpected Discovery, Devastating Power
“Fortunately, the Dimension Slash worked; otherwise, I wouldn’t have known what to do with this huge lump.”
Unleashing the Dimension Slash with such intensity was quite a burden for Lin Ye.
After all, the Dimension Slash is reputed to be the strongest single-target skill, so naturally, it’s incomparable to ordinary skills, and the caster faces higher demands when using it.
Even for someone as naturally gifted in spellcasting as Lin Ye, casting at this high intensity was somewhat uncomfortable.
This powerful skill is naturally not comparable to a small skill like the Healing Technique.
But the effect it brought was equally formidable.
The Demonized Crystal with such high strength couldn’t withstand the Dimension Slash’s cut, which says a lot.
By now, this crystal had been reduced considerably, with only a basketball-sized piece left, encasing a black sphere.
Lin Ye roughly understood that this black sphere was a treasure enveloped by the crystal, forming a protective mechanism, likely not the treasure’s core.
At present, there was only a thin crystal layer left on this black sphere; once it is shattered, the object inside can be released.
As for what this thousand-year-old mystery box contains, even Lin Ye was unsure.
But based on his coin flip results, this should indeed be Sun Tong’s tool.
“For what’s left, I shouldn’t need the Dimension Slash anymore…”
After contemplating, Lin Ye arrived at his conclusion.
The hardness of this crystal far exceeded its fragility; of course, the ‘brittleness’ of the Demonized Crystal was only relative to its hardness. In terms of brittleness alone, it wasn’t particularly brittle.
However, after its size was significantly reduced to just a thin layer, the brittleness of the Demonized Crystal was completely exposed.
Lin Ye felt that at this point, even without the Dimension Slash, he could shatter this layer and retrieve the treasure inside.
With this thought, Lin Ye stepped back a bit.
The Demonized Crystal sphere was then suspended mid-air by Lin Ye’s spatial confinement.
The space around the Demonized Crystal formed an extremely sturdy barrier, tightly enclosing the crystal sphere.
This served two purposes: one was to fix its position, and the other was to allow the crystal sphere to bear the brunt of the upcoming attack!
If not fixed, no matter how powerful the force, its effect would diminish greatly.
Therefore, it was necessary to secure it thoroughly to ensure maximum output.
Lin Ye retreated three to four meters away, drew his fist to his waist, took a deep breath, then roared and punched toward the Demonized Crystal sphere.
At this moment, Lin Ye felt a tremendous power surging through his fist, running along his arm and shoulder, firmly hitting his chest.
Lin Ye couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
He hadn’t anticipated that even with such a thin layer, less than a fingernail thick, the crystal sphere would still be so tough!
To the extent that he hadn’t expected one of his few injuries to be caused by the rebound of his own punching force.
This, if told, would probably make people laugh their heads off.
“Did I fail?”
Lin Ye disregarded his injury, anxiously checking the crystal sphere, but the next moment he heard a crisp ‘crack’.
Hearing it, Lin Ye’s eyes immediately lit up!
“It worked!”
Upon seeing the crystal sphere, he noticed that the thin layer on the sphere was now covered with numerous cracks.
Centering around Lin Ye’s punch point, cracks were continuously extending, and the sound of breaking was increasingly frequent.
Soon enough, in a matter of seconds, the cracks spread across the entire surface of the sphere.
Lin Ye extended a finger and gently poked it.
“Bang!”
Immediately, a sound akin to a vase smashing but exponentially louder exploded.
The shattered crystal burst out at that moment.
Lin Ye felt a chill down his spine and activated the warp state instantly!
The crystal fragments erupted with explosive force, and these incredibly hard fragments unleashed terrifying lethality.
In an instant, they blasted a mile-wide hole through the dust of the Alternate Space surrounding them.
Fortunately, Lin Ye’s reaction speed was fast enough, nearly entering a warp state the moment the crystal sphere exploded, otherwise, he might have been seriously injured.
Even so, the finger he used to poke the crystal sphere was obliterated upon contact.
“This is a bit terrifying…”
Lin Ye marveled, looking at his missing right index finger, realizing he had discovered something remarkable.
Something capable of such a powerful explosion had been discarded like trash amid ruins for over a thousand years without anyone noticing?
It shouldn’t be!
Lin Ye realized that he had indeed stumbled upon something extraordinary.
If utilized properly, the value of these crystals might rival even that of the Golden Levelless equipment!
Lin Ye felt somewhat fortunate that before leaving the ruins, he had also taken a substantial number of Demonized Crystals with him!
With this many Demonized Crystals, Lin Ye could manufacture a whole lot of “bombs.”
As for Lin Ye’s missing finger, it wasn’t a problem.
A strand of blazing white Holy Flame ignited on his hand, and his finger was restored.
As a Holy Flame Priest, as long as he’s within a certain range and the Holy Flame exists, he is immortal and indestructible.
“This is…”
At this moment, Lin Ye saw the core completely free from the crystal encasement.
The black protective material dissipated continuously, revealing its true form.
To Lin Ye’s surprise, the object was merely an unremarkable little engraving knife, with a rather simple and modest design.
The only distinctive feature was a ‘Tong’ character engraved on the handle.
Undoubtedly, this was Lin Ye’s target, Sun Tong’s tool.
Lin Ye smiled, realizing this trip was indeed fruitful.
Not only had he found Sun Tong’s tool but also discovered the Demonized Crystal—such an excellent tool for slaughter!
If properly used, it might even catch a Fourth-Turn powerhouse off guard!
The only issue is that manufacturing it might be quite time-consuming, labor-intensive, and mentally taxing, so its production rate won’t be high.
“First, return and have An Xinmeng handle those helmets.”
Lin Ye secured Sun Tong’s engraving knife, intending to head back immediately.
The Anen Race’s much-coveted helmets were on the brink of full transformation!
