Chapter 169: Palm Seal

Above Viskar Star, in the void one billion kilometers high, a spacecraft disguised as a meteor flashed and vanished.

Inside the vessel, Xiao Yu half‑squinted, sitting on the seat, with the three Stars standing behind him like faithful bodyguards.

"The vessel has reached the coordinates above the Time God Ruins," Wu, who had taken over the ship's AI, reminded.

Exterior scene: virtual.

Below the vessel, at seven hundred million kilometers, a thunderstorm cloud layer showed an incomparably huge half‑mountain breaking through the clouds, as if a strong one had snapped it with a single palm; in some places massive palm marks could be seen, the marks exquisitely mysterious, radiating Fundamental Law fluctuations.

Xiao Yu stared for a while, then suddenly the space shifted; he seemed to stand in the void, a sky‑splitting giant palm hovering overhead, covering the entire horizon, bearing endless Mysterious Secret Runes, pressing down on him as tiny as a sesame seed.

He wanted to move but couldn't.

One collapsed massive palace after another, one sunken massive hill after another, and the ground was littered with gigantic deep pits.

Close external virtual.

"Yes, it is said the temple has existed longer than Viskar Star itself," Mo Hai said.

Xiao Yu's primary soul consciousness entered the internal Small World, saw its scene, and was also shocked; in an instant he understood why the World Tree's anomaly occurred.

After the spacecraft pierced the thunderstorm layer, it decelerated rapidly; ten seconds later, the vessel halted and the cabin opened.

"System checks remaining Wish Points."

【One million Wish Gold Coins have been deducted!】

A rapid descent; beneath the fifth layer of mist, all was blood‑red fog.

The boundless fog was entirely blood‑red, as if an endless sea of blood roiled, and the terrifying invisible killing aura made hearts race.

"Fortunately it's just an illusion!" Xiao Yu exclaimed with relief, feeling a sticky discomfort on his body.

"System, copy that palm just now."

"Hmm," Xiao Yu nodded.

Internal Small World.

Everywhere were the battle auras left by various strong fighters, as if the combat had occurred yesterday, seemingly still able to see the fights between the strong.

The World Tree at the center had a diameter of one hundred kilometers, its height reaching the top of the Small World, and its canopy strangely enveloped the entire interior of the Small World.

Xiao Yu and three others flew out of the spacecraft; Xiao Yu waved his hand and folded the spacecraft into the Space Ring.

【Remaining: 22,177 Wish Gold Coins, 36 Wish Silver Coins, 9,179 Wish Copper Coins.】

Xiao Yu felt his heart stirring, as if a murderous desire arose.

One gigantic deep pit after another, some as if punched out, some as if pierced by colossal fingers, shrouded in gray mist, the bottom exuding an aura of terror.

"So that's the current temple," Ju Qi Lian said.

Ju Qi spoke, "Master, let me take you along; that way the speed will be a bit faster."

His thoughts seemed frozen, only able to let that sky‑splitting giant palm crush him to death.

The vessel descended rapidly.

The giant palm kept approaching, appearing slow but actually reaching Xiao Yu's head in an instant; Xiao Yu could do nothing, feeling an indescribable helplessness.

【Insufficient Wish Gold Coins; a full copy requires 30 million Wish Gold Coins! A tenth copy requires one million Wish Gold Coins.】

"Is this the Time God Ruins?" Xiao Yu asked.

"If I could master this palm, how wonderful," Xiao Yu thought.

"Hmm, I'm fine now," Xiao Yu said gratefully, glancing at Xingchen, then used Force to disperse his sweat.

Xiao Yu glanced at a deep pit shrouded in thin mist, his heart leapt, "Those are spatial turbulence and temporal turbulence!"

That palm was definitely unleashed by a super‑stronger.

Lately, Yin Lin Na, while contemplating the Illusory Shadow of the Hun Dun Stele, was constantly startled awake by the rumbling sounds coming from the Small World.

Xiao Yu instantly felt himself enveloped by a gentle invisible force, then accelerated downward continuously; the instant acceleration might not match his own, but its ultimate speed far exceeded his.

Below, a scene of ruined walls and broken cliffs!

"In the end, an outside‑the‑Domain heavenly demon drove Viskar Star out, but the price we paid was also extremely heavy; the Time God and many powerful divine spirits perished in that battle, leaving only a few divine remnants hidden in ancient secret realms."

In an instant, the invisible energy seemed fully sated, swiftly detaching from the giant palm, then shrinking rapidly, passing through Xiao Yu's body into the internal Small World.

Its diameter had already reached thirty thousand kilometers.

【Absorbed 1,365,100,000 cubic meters of Universe Primordial Energy crystals, gaining 1,365,100 Wish Gold Coins.】

Each large pit's diameter reached several thousand kilometers, some even tens of thousands of kilometers.

"System, absorb all Universe Energy crystals within my Space Ring,"

Ju Qi's power had reached Realm Lord Level Ninth Tier, and he had also fused a time crystal, comprehending some temporal Fundamental Law, making him faster.

More strangely, the Small World had once been designed by Xiao Yu as dual Yin and Yang sides; now the Yin side is like a mirror of the Yang side, also containing a World Tree, but without Yin Lin Na and the Illusory Shadow of the Hun Dun Stele.

The palm copy was flying into the Yang side, forming a palm‑imprint Illusory Shadow fifty kilometers long.

The World Tree can exist in this Small World only by folding space; the Yin side's World Tree is merely a projection, both existent and non‑existent.

"Your temple is actually older than the Time God Ruins!" Xiao Yu wondered.

No, it's beyond imagination.

An invisible energy shrouded that massive palm imprint stretching tens of millions of kilometers, strands of law‑aura being absorbed by the energy.

Yin Lin Na, attracted by the sudden movement, wanted to investigate, "Master, what kind of mischief is this!"

World Tree Xiao Yu whispered, "I just copied a super‑stronger's attack aura; you may not be able to endure that aura now."

What was that just now? When I first entered the primordial universe, didn't the Nine‑Sword Sage say that an aura couldn't be virtualized? Why could I be drawn into a hallucination by an aura... Just now, what kind of giant palm was it, why couldn't I even think when facing it! Xiao Yu kept pondering.

Suddenly, Xiao Yu felt the world spin, then the giant palm vanished, returning to the spacecraft, and he also heard Xingchen's familiar voice, "Master, are you alright?"

The Small World is too small, even with a diameter of thirty thousand kilometers, even the World Tree is only at the Universe-level pinnacle.

"Master, you just stared down there, motionless, and kept sweating," Xingchen said concernedly.

"System, continue copying; a tenth is enough. Keep the copy in the internal Small World,"

The wish has already been realized.

Ju Qi said, "Yes, the Time God Ruins have a diameter of several hundred billion kilometers and connect with several thousand World Zones; this is a relic left by the previous generation Time God. Legend says that in ancient times, the Time God led many divine‑race members of Viska Star to resist the outer‑domain heavenly demons, and the great battle took place here."

Xiao Yu looked at the scene before him and could understand how fierce the battle had been; the final outcome was self‑evident, surely Viska Star was defeated, and the remaining Immortal Divine Spirits curled up.

Universe Primordial Energy was dense, and thick fog swirled.

Fortunately, I had previously confiscated all cultivation resources of three subordinates; otherwise there wouldn't have been enough.

Wish Points turned out to be only these left.

"Ah!" Xiao Yu exclaimed in utter surprise. Viska Star had existed for hundreds of millions of eras; how long had that temple persisted? It couldn't have existed before the Primordial Secret Realm appeared, could it?

So were the Viska Star people indigenous or outsiders?

"The time crystal vein you discovered here earlier was also in the fringe area, right?" Xiao Yu said with a smile.
