Chapter 971: The Eyeball of an Unknown Divine Beast (First update, requesting all)

As for the abilities of the Seeking Dao Jade Fragment, besides being able to heighten Li Zhangsheng's comprehension, it also contained a large amount of chaotic, profound, and mysterious text.

Li Zhangsheng did not recognize a single one of these complex, twisted characters that were like a Heaven Book, yet for some reason, he was able to "read" and understand them.

However, these characters seemed to be composed of numerous branches, and because the jade was incomplete, they appeared exceptionally disorganized, as if they were scattered here and there without rhyme or reason.

Li Zhangsheng contemplated them for a long time, only to discover that there was not a single systematic part, rendering them useless to him for the time being.

After pondering for a moment, Li Zhangsheng helplessly chose to give up, though he believed that once he integrated more jade fragments in the future, it might be possible to comprehend these characters.

Besides these two aspects, the jade fragment also possessed the ability to sense others of its kind, though it had strict distance limitations.

After finishing his research into the abilities of the Seeking Dao Jade Fragment, Li Zhangsheng immediately took out the Cloud Pattern Adamantite that concealed the treasure.

Crack— Crack—

Although the Cloud Pattern Adamantite was quite hard, Li Zhangsheng's strength was not what it used to be, and it was forcibly pried open, revealing the scene inside.

Suddenly, a deep blue radiance surged out from the crack.

Li Zhangsheng was quick-eyed and nimble-handed; he grabbed the treasure in one go, but his hand sank under the weight, which could not help but make him click his tongue in wonder.

Such a heavy treasure must have weighed ten thousand catties.

This treasure struggled violently, yet it could not break free no matter what.

Li Zhangsheng casually cast several Seal Techniques, and dozens of Silver Seal Scripts emerged, swarming to stick onto the treasure.

The treasure instantly quieted down and stopped struggling, having been easily suppressed by Li Zhangsheng using a Secret Technique.

Only then did Li Zhangsheng begin to examine the treasure in his hand, and he was stunned to discover that it was actually an eyeball the size of an adult's palm.

No!

As a Refining Master, Li Zhangsheng immediately discovered that something was wrong; this eyeball was still in a sealed state.

The next moment, as he formed seals again, over a hundred Silver Seal Scripts took shape and once again swarmed toward the eyeball.

This time, these Silver Seal Scripts drilled straight into the eyeball.

In an instant, crackling sounds came from within the eyeball, and then, under Li Zhangsheng's astonished gaze, the volume of the eyeball suddenly surged.

After five minutes passed, the eyeball finally stopped growing.

Looking at the eyeball before him that was dozens of square meters in size, Li Zhangsheng did not know what to say.

It was his first time seeing such a massive eyeball; it was simply shocking. If the eyeball was already this big, then how large must its original body be?

"Could this be the eyeball of some kind of super-large Divine Beast?"

Li Zhangsheng thought to himself; only those Divine Beasts with extremely exaggerated body sizes would possess such large eyeballs, and what's more, a single eyeball alone radiated energy fluctuations of the Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure Grade, so it was highly likely to be the eyeball of some kind of Divine Beast.

At the same time, Li Zhangsheng could not help but become excited; an eyeball could be said to be the essence of the vast majority of living creatures, and although it occupied a very small proportion of the body volume, it contained a large amount of Bloodline Imprint.

If he refined this eyeball, Li Zhangsheng believed he could obtain quite a lot of Spirit Essence.

Very quickly, Li Zhangsheng completed the setup in the backyard and laid down a Seal Heaven Lock Earth Forbidden Array to avoid any accidents.

Because the eyeball's volume was too large, Li Zhangsheng prepared to cut it into fragments so that it could be better refined.

Li Zhangsheng took out a large saber; this saber was the spoils of war from a certain Pseudo-King and could be considered quite sharp.

Without hesitation, Li Zhangsheng slashed down with the saber.

Ding— Crack—

Accompanied by the sound of metal colliding, the large saber snapped into two pieces, while the eyeball remained unscathed.

"This..."

Looking at the broken saber in his hand, Li Zhangsheng did not know what to say.

Such a tough eyeball was truly unprecedented.

Seeing that an ordinary sharp blade could not cut the eyeball, Li Zhangsheng had no choice but to summon Adai.

Roar—

Adai let out an angry roar, raised its ferocious giant claws high, and swiped down.

Boom—

The two collided, and a dull sound rang out. The eyeball trembled violently, and Adai only felt a powerful reaction force surging from the eyeball, causing its giant claw to be directly bounced away.

Even so, under Adai's giant claws, several gashes were broken open on the eyeball, from which some red and white liquid splashed out.

After all, this was just an eyeball; no matter how powerful it was while alive, its death would inevitably lead to a significant weakening of its flesh and blood tissues.

Under the control of his Mental Power, these liquids floated in mid-air without a single drop being wasted.

Adai pressed on, continuing to wave its giant claws, determined to crush this eyeball.

Boom boom boom—

Dull sounds rang out continuously; it was fortunate that there was a Seal Heaven Lock Earth Forbidden Array, otherwise the backyard would definitely have been destroyed by Adai.

Even so, a large pit still appeared.

It took a full quarter of an hour for Adai to finally stop and begin to pant heavily.

This kind of all-out, unreserved clawing would make even Adai, with its extremely strong constitution, feel breathless.

That eyeball, which had been dozens of square meters in size, had already disappeared, turning into a large pile of fragments.

At this moment, the Imitation Demon Refining Pot rushed out from his Consciousness Sea, and a massive suction force was generated, sucking all the fragments and liquid produced by the eyeball into the pot's space, not wasting a single bit.

Even though it had been processed into fragments, the refining speed of the Imitation Demon Refining Pot was still extremely slow, far below its usual efficiency.

Very quickly, wisps of blood-colored liquid slowly flowed from the pot's space into the interior of the pot, accumulating more and more.

The Imitation Demon Refining Pot was, after all, a Mid-grade World Wonder; the area inside the pot seemed small, but it actually possessed the ability to contain Mount Sumeru within a mustard seed, allowing it to store a large amount of liquid.

Of course, no matter how large the area inside the pot was, there was still a huge gap compared to the pot's space.

The blood water refined from this eyeball was unimaginably voluminous. Before long, seeing that the blood water was about to overflow from the Imitation Demon Refining Pot, Li Zhangsheng had to reach out and beckon, transferring the blood water from inside the pot into a Strange Treasure gourd specifically for storing liquid.

By the time the Imitation Demon Refining Pot stopped working, more than an hour had already passed, and in return, Li Zhangsheng had obtained a large amount of blood water.

The second step was much simpler; in just a quarter of an hour, this blood water was refined by Li Zhangsheng into Spirit Essence, its volume shrinking significantly.

The next moment, Li Zhangsheng consumed the Vision Potion and began to examine the Bloodline Imprints within the bloody water.

However, because the eyeballs had been separated from the body for too long, these Bloodline Imprints had gone completely dormant and required an Active Potion to be restored.

Yet one thing was certain: these dormant Bloodline Imprints were different from those of other Spirit Beasts; there was only one type, and Li Zhangsheng had already confirmed that these were indeed the eyeballs of a Divine Beast. To know which kind of Divine Beast they belonged to, he would have to wait until these Bloodline Imprints were activated.
