Chapter 938: I'll Only Tell You This Secret
"You're quite impressive," Wang Ye remarked as he stowed away the treasure.
No wonder he was entrusted with such a critical mission.
This young master from the Hidden Ancestral Realm not only had quick reflexes but also displayed remarkable combat prowess.
He was the most powerful Venerate Wang Ye had ever encountered.
To force Wang Ye to reveal his true form... Well, not many Venerates could push him to go all out.
"Divine item, the divination astrolabe." Wang Ye assessed the energy of the star core.
The collision of their special energies caused an instant ripple.
"Valued at 50 million evolution points. Do you wish to exchange it?"
"No."
This thing wasn't cheap.
It was worth as much as five peak Venerates!
Crossing levels had only earned him four times the evolution points. Otherwise, a peak Venerate would be worth only 10 million evolution points.
This was the most valuable treasure he had ever appraised!
"Let's refine it first." Wang Ye swiftly began the refining process.
Holding onto it for too long might attract unwanted attention. Moreover, the special energies emanating from the divine item would undoubtedly draw interest.
While he wasn't afraid, revealing possession of a divine item to other Sky races would undoubtedly invite unnecessary trouble.
Swoosh!
The energy from the star core surged into the divination astrolabe.
Refining a divine item was different from integrating high-dimensional cosmic gem treasures.
In the high-dimensional cosmic realm, while willpower was crucially aligned, the strength of innate energy was what determined the compatibility for necessary energy.
This included the deployment of ancient gem treasures, which relied on innate energy.
However, refining a divine item required star core energy.
The stronger the divine item, the more star core energy was needed for the refining process.
"It's consuming nearly half of the Supreme-level star core energy..." Wang Ye sensed the continuous flow of star core energy within the star reserve.
The star core energy, already scarce, was now perilously low.
Luckily, it was just enough to complete the refinement of the divination astrolabe!
Whoosh...
Wang Ye completed the final energy infusion.
The divine item, the divination astrolabe trembled lightly and seamlessly fused into the star core.
It was like a drop of water merging into the vast sea, achieving perfect harmony.
What?
Wang Ye was taken aback.
Now, within the star core, the jade carving light ball was no longer solitary.
It had gained a new companion.
Wherever his consciousness wandered, he could sense the divine item, the divination astrolabe, and even activate its powers.
"Therefore, the jade carving light ball is indeed a divine item from the Primordial Cosmic Sea..." Wang Ye realized.
His conviction grew stronger.
Though unsure of its origin, and its similarity to the divine item, the divination astrolabe was telling.
"As expected, they're connected." Wang Ye sensed the twelve-dimensional pathways of the divine item, the divination astrolabe.
The other two pathways were linked as well.
But they were currently empty.
That was normal.
Firstly, now that the divine item, the divination astrolabe belonged to him, it couldn't host any other foreign life forms.
Secondly, the divine item, the divination astrolabe's core determined the positions of the twelve dimensional pathways.
To put it simply, it was like an octopus.
As its body moved, the positions of its twelve tentacles naturally shifted.
To find out the original locations of those two pathways, he had to return to the initial spot.
Whoosh!
Wang Ye darted off.
The only passage to the primordial chaos was ever-changing.
Moreover, the laws of spacetime here differed from those in the high-dimensional cosmic, making it impossible to pinpoint and distinguish them.
"This won't be easy," Wang Ye murmured.
Surveying his surroundings, he could only roughly estimate their range.
However, achieving the precision of their original state was out of reach.
It seemed the Sky race of the Hidden Ancestral Realm had prepared for the worst. Even if the divine item, the divination astrolabe were stolen, they wouldn't expose their objective.
If any other Sky race or Dark race had snatched the divination astrolabe, they wouldn't suspect collusion between the Strength race and the Sky race.
They would simply think the Sky race of the Hidden Ancestral Realm had been lucky to find it.
But Wang Ye understood the whole situation clearly.
"One indeed leads to the second realm." Wang Ye continued moving. He was trying to pinpoint the dimensional pathways.
One of the paths could be confirmed definitively.
However, the other path couldn't be pinpointed within the Primitive Cosmic Sea.
Or rather, he couldn't figure out how to accurately pinpoint it.
The Strength race was indeed crafty.
They were cautious.
But...
They couldn't escape with mischief behind his back. It wasn't that straightforward!
Without some hush money and benefits, they won't get away with it smoothly!
"Let's go to the second realm to find Ayra." Wang Ye decided in an instant.
Fold while ahead?
He was no longer a mere lackey in the struggle between humans and devils.
Now, even if he encountered a Supreme, he could safeguard his life!
"Could the Strength race have sneaked into the Supreme territory?" Wang Ye pondered.
The entrance to the only passage was guarded alternately by the Sky race and the Dark race. If a Strength race Supreme managed to enter, they'd surely be targeted.
But if they used the divination astrolabe to enter...
No one would know.
"No wonder..." Wang Ye sorted through his thoughts.
The Strength race sought to collaborate with the Sky race but avoided dealing with the entire Sky race!
It was about valuing the selfishness of one faction of the Sky race, and their willingness to bribe, which enabled them to accomplish the feat of secretly entering the realm!
The Sky race of the Hidden Ancestral Realm had been manipulated!
"Wait, perhaps it's a fair deal." Wang Ye mused.
There were numerous possibilities.
What he needed to do now was... stir up trouble!
In this murky realm of high-dimensional infighting, he aimed to profit handsomely!
"A single divine item, the divination astrolabe, and two high-grade ancient gem treasures won't satisfy me." Wang Ye smirked.
He had always been insatiably greedy!
...
In the only passage.
"Don't let a single one of them escape!" Venerate Mengmou thundered.
"Yes, Vice Legion Commander!" The Mengta King Corps' formidable fighters brimmed with determination!
Initially caught off guard, they quickly realized that this Nether Ancestral Realm King Corps was nothing special!
Their combat prowess was in a different league!
With only one Sovereign Venerate and another commander of formidable combat prowess, the rest of the heavenly warriors were no match for them!
Most importantly, they held an overwhelming numerical advantage!
"We can't afford to let them get away." Venerate Mengmou's dual pupils turned ice-cold, outshining An Lingsha.
As the vice legion commander of the King Corps, his combat prowess was undeniably strong!
After all, An Lingsha was merely a sequence leader.
"If news of this leaks, Young Master will be in serious trouble." Venerate Mengmou understood.
They carried a heavy burden this time.
Success would bring great rewards!
But if word got out, not only would the Dark race seek revenge, but other sectors of the Ancestral Star might also strongly condemn them.
"Do they know the divine item, the divination astrolabe is in the Young Master's hands? How did they find out?" Venerate Mengmou pondered with suspicion. He recalled the Sky Eternal who had effortlessly dispatched the chief commander.
He was a monster-level Sky Eternal!
However, it didn't matter. Young Master had three powerful allies, with Pujin Venerate being a trusted lieutenant under Mengyi King, boasting exceptional combat prowess.
Moreover, the Young Master himself ranked among the top ten Sovereign Venerates in the Hidden Ancestral Realm in terms of combat prowess!
Taking down a mere Eternal-level Sky race member was just child's play.
Venerate Mengmou felt a growing unease.
He didn't know where this unease came from.
But his gut told him it was dangerous now.
Very dangerous!
Whoosh! A mysterious spacetime treasure materialized, hurtling at incredible speed!
Venerate Mengmou braced himself against its impact.
The ground shook violently!
The immense power blasted him away directly!
Venerate Mengmou's face turned pale!
As he looked at the familiar figure and sensed the aura from afar, fear gripped his heart!
This was bad!
He was back!
Boom!!!
...
Wang Ye had returned!
He bolstered the morale of all the team members in the fierce battle!
He shattered their defenses with devastating attacks, setting a new record!
At first glance, he effortlessly killed a high-grade Venerate!
Wang Ye's absolute strength proved that his previous consecutive kills of Sovereign Venerates were no fluke!
It was real!
"Don't let any of them escape!" Wang Ye's voice was not loud but carried an unmistakable clarity and irony.
Because just moments ago, it was the vice legion commander of the Mengta King Corps who said these words...
Now, he lay fallen.
The spacetime domain enveloped the area!
The experts of the Mengta King Corps instantly paled, pulling out life-saving tools and displaying their full abilities!
Every member of the Sky race possessed exceptional spacetime traversal and flight capabilities.
Those involved in this mission were the best of the best!
They wouldn't sit idly by!
Whoosh! One side of spacetime vanished.
Crash! The spacetime domain shattered.
The elites of the Mengta King Corps showcased their prowess.
But at this moment...
Whoosh! A terrifying engulfing strength descended!
Accompanied by unique energy fluctuations, the entire battlefield underwent a massive transformation.
"What's going on? Why can't I sense spacetime?"
"Where's the spacetime sub-origin? Where did it go?"
"What's happening? Why did the artifact fail?"
Panic spread among the Mengta King Corps experts.
They faced an unprecedented dilemma.
Their proud spacetime had vanished.
"It's quite effective." Wang Ye used the divine item divination astrolabe for the first time.
It not only devoured the spacetime of the high-dimensional cosmic but even swallowed the spacetime of the only passage.
Where could they escape?
Wang Ye took command of the entire battlefield, activating a slaughter mode.
None of them could flee!
...
The Mengta King Corps was utterly wiped out!
The Life Great Path enveloped the members of the first battle team, its green light dazzling.
Lan Scarlet, An Lingsha, and An Lingwu all stared at Wang Ye at the center of the battlefield. They felt deeply impressed by him.
It wasn't just because of Wang Ye's formidable combat prowess.
It was also because of his final move.
It was terrifying!
It seemed as though spacetime itself had been devoured.
As members of the Sky race, they understood all too well what this meant.
It was akin to having their wings abruptly broken.
He could command anything he desired!
"Let's go." Wang Ye swiftly cleaned up the battlefield.
"Where to?" Lan Scarlet was bewildered.
"I'm returning to the high-dimensional battlefield," Wang Ye said seriously. "The only passage was too much pressure for you all. Luckily, I've discovered a secret path ahead where we can leave directly."
Lan Scarlet stared at Wang Ye with her beautiful eyes.
Wang Ye smiled back at her.
"Can you tell me the truth?" Lan Scarlet sent a mental message.
"Of course." Wang Ye looked at Scarlet earnestly. "I have the divine item, the divination astrolabe. Let's leave quickly to avoid becoming a target of public scrutiny."
"You're the only one who knows this secret."
"Yes," Lan Scarlet nodded faintly. "So you're the one who found the secret path ahead."
"Yes, let's go," Wang Ye said.
"Okay."
Soon, guided by Wang Ye, the members of the first battle team passed through the secret path and exited the only passage.
An Lingsha and Wang Ye remained behind.
"Now it's just the two of us." An Lingsha looked at Wang Ye. "Can you tell me the truth?"
"Of course." Wang Ye held An Lingsha's hand gently. "I'll share this secret with you alone."
"Yes," An Lingsha seemed accustomed to it and did not resist.
"The divine item, the divination astrolabe is in my possession."
"Really?" An Lingsha's eyes brightened.
"Yes." Wang Ye smiled. "Shall we go now? Remember to keep this secret. I only trust you."
"Sure." An Lingsha nodded.
