Chapter 452: Shattered World Pearl

Cracks covered the surrounding walls, and dust lay thick on the ground.

Lu Yuan felt full of curiosity about this mysterious primeval cave dwelling, hoping to discover some treasure inside.

He looked around and noticed a huge boulder in the center of the cave dwelling.

He approached the boulder and touched its surface patterns.

Suddenly, the boulder began to emit faint vibrations, then slowly shifted aside.

Revealing a hidden passage within.

Lu Yuan did not hesitate, resolutely stepping into the passage.

The passage grew deeper and darker as he went on.

Lu Yuan lit the immortal fire pearl in his hand, illuminating the darkness.

Gradually, a faint light seeped ahead.

Lu Yuan looked around, searching for clues. In the dimness, he suddenly saw a world pearl hovering silently in the air.

Its surface was dark and mottled, emitting a faint glow.

Lu Yuan stopped in shock, his eyes fixed on the world pearl.

The immortal fire pearls on his person shone brightly, lighting up the whole space.

A strong curiosity rose in his heart, and Lu Yuan slowly reached out to touch the world pearl.

As his fingertip lightly touched its surface, a warm, ancient power surged through his body.

He felt the ages and vicissitudes that the world pearl had endured.

Lu Yuan carefully examined the world pearl; it looked utterly dilapidated, as if tormented by time and ages.

Yet within this decay, he could sense a powerful, mysterious force lying dormant.

A great impulse welled up from deep within; Lu Yuan knew he should not lightly touch the world pearl.

But his curiosity about this unknown power drove him further, and he decided to bring the world pearl back for study.

Extending his hand cautiously, Lu Yuan gently grasped the world pearl.

The moment he touched it, a blinding flash suddenly lit the surroundings, and the whole space began to tremble.

Lu Yuan felt a mighty ancient force surge into his body, making him tremble all over.

The powerful force swept in, as if it would scatter his soul.

However, at the critical moment, Lu Yuan focused his mind and silently cultivated the Five Elements Escape Technique.

A halo formed around his body, blocking that powerful force.

He clung tightly to the world pearl, not letting go, and under the infusion of profound immortal arts his body radiated dazzling light.

After a moment, that mighty force finally subsided. In the Micro Star River True Realm within the primeval cave dwelling, Lu Yuan stood at the center of a vast cavern, the surrounding stone walls covered in ancient, intricate runes.

The sight before him filled Lu Yuan with awe, and he sensed the powerful energy contained here.

As he carefully examined his surroundings, a mysterious aura gradually spread out.

Lu Yuan instinctively held his breath, warily scanning his surroundings.

Suddenly, a figure appeared before his eyes.

It was a gorgeous, splendid silver lotus flower, flashing with dazzling light in the Micro Star River True Realm.

Lu Yuan stared in astonishment at the silver lotus flower, feeling a powerful, mysterious force upon it.

This force possessed both the dazzling brilliance of an aurora and the heavy, gloominess of dark ash, like two completely opposite breaths intertwining.

A deep curiosity and desire to explore rose in his heart.

Such a powerful and rare living being is a rare existence even throughout the Xian Jie.

Within the Micro Star River True Realm of the primeval cave dwelling, such a primordial living being is hidden—simply unbelievable.

Lu Yuan approached the silver lotus, carefully touching its petals.

The instant his fingertip lightly touched a petal, a surge of intense energy coursed through his body.

He could feel that the silver lotus contained boundless, endless power within.

The silver lotus seemed to sense the connection between it and Lu Yuan, and began to emit a faint, graceful fragrance.

At the same time, a pure and strange energy welled up from within it.

Lu Yuan took a deep breath, tensed his whole body, and used the Detection Technique to probe deeply into the silver lotus's hidden secrets.

His brow furrowed slightly as he pondered how to deal with this force that possessed both light and dark qualities.

Gradually, as Lu Yuan continually investigated and adjusted his own power exertion, the force emanating from the silver lotus became increasingly stable and began to split into two utterly opposite energy currents.

A fine thread of aurora seeped from within the silver lotus, bringing a soft, uplifting atmosphere.

While the other strand of dark ash was deep and solemn, like a funeral bell in the night.

Lu Yuan was shocked to discover that these two utterly different forces did not clash, but subtly coexisted and merged within the silver lotus.

The complexity of this situation plunged him into thought.

He knew that the energy contained in the silver lotus was far from ordinary, and could wholly become a powerful, mysterious source of immortal arts.

If he could master and utilize these two forces, there is no doubt it would greatly enhance his and his team's combat strength. Standing at the center of the Micro Star River True Realm within the primeval cave dwelling, Lu Yuan faced the silver lotus flower, feeling the tremendous energy surging within his body.

He harbored the dream of expedition to the Xian Jie, yet had never before seen such a powerful being.

He gazed at the silver lotus flower, his eyes filled with awe and admiration.

The energy fluctuations emitted by this primordial living being stirred his heart, making him feel as if he had arrived in an entirely new world.

The silver lotus flower blossomed with gorgeous, splendid radiance, flashing with dazzling brilliance in the Micro Star River True Realm.

The bright, uplifting aura like an aurora and the heavy, gloomy energy like dark ash collided and intertwined.

Lu Yuan extended a finger and lightly touched it, and a strong, mysterious energy surged into his body.

His whole body was enveloped by this force, as if he could feel the silver lotus flower transmitting and spreading forth boundless, endless power.

As he was immersed in contemplating the nature of this power that was both bright and dark, he suddenly felt a faint, wafting fragrance assault his nose.

This fragrance came from the silver lotus flower, as if responding to the connection between him and it.

At the same time, the power within him that was affected by the silver lotus began to differentiate.

A thread-like aurora-like energy slowly seeped out from within the silver lotus, bringing a gentle, invigorating feeling to the mind and spirit.

And another stream of ash-flame power was deep and solemn, like a funeral bell tolling silently in the night.

Lu Yuan widened his eyes, astonished to discover that these two utterly opposing energies did not clash, but instead intertwined and coexisted in the tiny gaps within the silver lotus.

A blazing, flame-like desire to explore ignited in his heart.

If he could master and employ these two utterly different yet complementary energy flows, it would undoubtedly greatly enhance his and his team's strength in battle.

This idea quickly became reality in Lu Yuan's mind.

He bathed in the interweaving of light and darkness, feeling this unprecedentedly powerful source of energy.

Clear and sharp thinking let him quickly decide to take the silver lotus flower for his own use. (End of chapter)
