Lord Of The World: I Become The Lord Of The Desert From The Start

Chapter 649 428: A Dimension Stone And The Seed Of The World Tree [1/3]

?

The Dune Lord looked at the crystal coffin and let out a long sigh.

A bitter smile appeared on its face.

"Lord Richard… Something has stripped my power off."

Helplessness engulfed the Dune Lord's eyes.

"Right now, we can't open the crystal coffin."

Richard frowned.

"Tell me the way."

The lord of the dunes exchanged its chips for its life. It didn't hesitate and said.

"Use fresh blood as a guide and soul as a key..." Its tone became complicated.

"Then, I'll use the power of yellow sand to enter the crystal coffin. And I could communicate with that plane's will and enter that plane."

The power of the yellow sand was the foundation it relied on to survive. The Dune Lord lost it.

It had personally set up the method to open it, but it could no longer open itself.

They said it was a great irony.

But the heart does not dare to have the slightest dissatisfaction. To live is now its biggest wish. It understood that life is precious when death strangles the throat.

Richard stared at the rotten lifeform.

He said slowly.

"I will send you to the underground world if everything goes as you say.

"Gray-colored dwarves rule a city I own. Alchemy is the primary industry.

"You can continue your research inside… Your path to godhood."

Turning into a plane and controlling power that was even greater than that of a god might seem ridiculous, but this was a fantasy world, and anything could happen.

It spoke and looked into the other party's eyes seriously. It uttered word by word.

"This is my promise to you."

The Dune Lord rarely made promises. But once it did, it would carry out as stated.

This was its bottom line. It could not be a good person. But it couldn't break its promise.

The Dune Lord sensed the power in the other party's words. It sparingly relaxed.

"I believe in your character and will never lie to you, Lord."

Richard did not comment.

The Dune Lord lost its power but was very valuable.

Experience, knowledge, sight, the posture in its mind, the secrets it knew, these were all things that could not be measured easily.

It was also where the genuine value lay.

It was not too much to work for Twilight City for three to five hundred years to atone for it after one committed such a serious crime, right?

The corners of Richard's mouth curled up slightly.

"I hope so."

Then, he turned to look at the crystal coffin.

At this moment, the god's ancient statue emitted dark light that enveloped the coffin and suppressed the surging power.

However, one could discover upon closer inspection that the ancient god statue slowly devoured the power that the other party dissipated.

Richard momentarily pondered.

The incomparably thick power of yellow sand slowly surged out of his body when he pressed the hand of the crystal coffin.

That directly replaced the ancient god statue to take over the crystal coffin.

One could see vividly the figure of the sleeping being and felt the power of the yellow sand. Its body seemed to move.

It was like it was about to wake up in the next second.

Richard subconsciously paused for a moment. He didn't sense any danger, so he continued.

He carefully injected the yellow sand force.

Before this, he had also injected his magic power into it, but it rejected the power. The other party accepted the power of the yellow sand that surged in his bloodline.

Richard confirmed after the experiment that the other party was not lying before he continued.

The Dune Lord saw Richard's cautious attitude. The ruler of the dunes was impressed.

Only such a person could survive in this dangerous world.

It was laughable compared to others to lose everything before knowing the other party's strength.

The crystal coffin emitted an aura and gradually calmed down.

Richard could feel the power of thousands of rivers that roared.

The sand turned into a sharp knife. It cut its finger and dripped blood into it.

That released a spiritual force.

As the power of the yellow sand surged in.

The crystal coffin suddenly blurred. Richard's thoughts entered another world.

He turned around and saw a mess.

The ground was shattered into pieces. There was no longer any green vegetation. All that was left were grayish-black fragments.

Large holes appeared in the sky. It was like a thin membrane had been pierced. The energy in the void eroded the world through those holes.

Desolation.

This world had already turned into ruins.

Richard's thoughts moved beyond the broken earth. A fault appeared before him momentarily after.

The initial land had disappeared without a trace. The void devoured it.

Richard sensed that the plane was like a deflated balloon that constantly shrinked. His expression was sparingly cold.

One has sealed this place for hundreds of thousands of years, but more than half collapsed.

As for the treasure the Dune Lord has mentioned…

There wasn't even a blade of grass left.

Richard withdrew his psychic power after he searched the remaining area and found nothing.

The Dune Lord said quickly when Richard opened his eyes again, "Lord, have you found my treasure?"

Richard narrowed his eyes.

"More than half of that plane has already collapsed. Perhaps, a few days ago, the void had devoured the entire plane."

"The treasure you mentioned… It doesn't exist."

The Dune Lord's body trembled as it cried out in alarm.

"C-collapsed??"

"That's a large plane over a thousand kilometers in size…"

Its face became extremely bitter as he finished speaking.

"Sir, I…"

"There are thousands of words in my heart. At this moment, I don't know how to say them."

The chip he used to buy his life was gone… An indescribable fear rose in its heart.

Richard turned his gaze to the crystal coffin after a moment of silence.

As a life born from the plane, it seemed that it was not asleep because of the crystal coffin but purely because of the collapse.
