Chapter 1203: Good Stuff!

If only there were a regret pill in this world!

If only time could still be reversed!

Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely would I never negotiate terms with this lad again, nor would I give him any Immortal Yuan Power!

This was the Divine Spark's inner thought at this moment, filled with regret and helplessness, wanting to cry but having no tears.

Although Xu Que's breakthrough had already ended, successfully surging to the Earth Immortal Realm Mid-stage, and the plundering of Immortal Yuan from the Divine Spark Space had unknowingly stopped.

Yet the Divine Spark Space was nearly ruined, with nearly ninety percent of its Immortal Yuan Power completely emptied out, leaving only the final wisp of Immortal Yuan Power barely sustaining its Spiritual Sense, allowing it to continue communicating silently with Xu Que.

It was obvious that it could not spare even a sliver more of Immortal Yuan Power; Immortal Yuan was precisely the support object enabling it to barely survive in this Heaven and Earth, and if it were all lost, then it too would perish, vanishing into smoke and dust.

Even now, this Divine Spark could hardly hold up this patch of Divine Spark Space, especially after inexplicably taking a punch from Xu Que; the darkness surrounding the Divine Spark Space was successively collapsing, continuously caving in, looking as though it was about to be beaten back to its original form.

Seeing this state, Xu Que could only shake his head helplessly.

He could see that this Divine Spark's Immortal Yuan Power was truly sucked dry; a Divine Spark differed from a Cultivator in that it possessed no Flesh Body, so it could only swallow Heavenly Spirit Qi drop by drop, transforming it into Immortal Yuan, accumulating through a slow process of settling; thus, even though it had settled for countless tens of thousands of years, its reserve of Immortal Yuan Power could only compare to what the Human Race cultivated over several thousand years!

One could see how precious this Immortal Yuan Power was to the Divine Spark, but now that it was nearly emptied out, just how large an area must its psychological shadow cover!

"Tsk tsk tsk, truly pitiful! I'm afraid you don't even have the strength to swallow others' Dao Rhyme now, do you?" Xu Que asked with a beaming smile.

The Divine Spark didn't even have the motivation to respond to him; a mood of listlessness permeated the space.

"Forget it, forget it; seeing you like this, I estimate it will take another hundred or two hundred thousand years for you to recover, so I won't make moves against you. After all, we are all decent people, but rules must still be observed, such as the Inheritance we agreed upon earlier..." Xu Que said with a faint smile, extending a hand toward one corner to demand the Inheritance.

Since he couldn't scoop up any more Immortal Yuan Power, he definitely had to take this Inheritance; after all, it was a Divine Spirit Inheritance, good or bad, he should take it first; even if he couldn't use it, he could still sell it or exchange it for something else.

"Bang!"

The moment Xu Que's words fell, a huge crack instantly burst open at the top of the Divine Spark Space, light from the outside instantly shrouding down, and Xu Que felt the presence of the Divine Spark even less.

It was obvious that the other party was nearly done for.

"Hey, don't be like that! Give me the Inheritance before you die! What? You're not dying, you're entering hibernation? Then give me a round of Inheritance before hibernating! What happens if you don't give it? It doesn't matter if you don't; anyway, hibernation isn't much different from death; if you hibernate, there's still a possibility you'll open your eyes again, but if you die, you won't be able to open them; guess whether you'll be able to open your eyes in the future?"

Xu Que said with a smiling expression, the corner of his mouth curling upward in an arc, full of ruffian air, making one shudder with fear.

Whoosh!

Instantly, a Golden Beam streaked through the Divine Spark Space, landing directly before Xu Que's eyes.

However, before Xu Que could examine that Golden Beam, the entire Divine Spark Space suddenly shook violently, followed by a loud "Boom," and the pitch-black Divine Spark Space disintegrated on the spot, vanishing into smoke and dust.

Xu Que stood in place, stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a bitter smile covering his face.

Really, between people and people... oh no, between humans and gods, can't there be a little trust? Was it necessary to run so fast? I wasn't really trying to dry-kill you, why bother?

Unfortunately, the Divine Spark had already disappeared, entering hibernation; even if Xu Que wanted to find it again, he could not locate it; otherwise, he would definitely ask how to become a god!

"Eh, wait a moment, it seems a bit too quiet!"

Suddenly, Xu Que realized something was amiss; he had emerged from the Divine Spark Space, so why hadn't Er Gouzi and Duan Jiude and the others come over?

He turned his head to look; behind him was still that same Dao Field, yet Er Gouzi and Duan Jiude and the others remained stationary, seeming as though they hadn't seen him at all, completely motionless.

"Strange, what situation is this? Er Gouzi, Duan Jiude, can you see me or not?" Xu Que frowned and shouted.

Yet Er Gouzi and Duan Jiude and the others still showed no reaction, seeming as though they were in a different world from him.

"Hmm? This is..."

Xu Que froze, surveyed his surroundings, and only then realized he seemed to be trapped inside an invisible cage, completely isolated from the outside world.

This cage was invisible and intangible, yet its existence could clearly be felt, just like being inside the Divine Spark Space.

It was just that after the Divine Spark disappeared, this "cage" seemed to have lost any imprisoning power, retaining only an isolating function.

Xu Que could feel that as long as he lightly touched it, this invisible "cage" would disintegrate; his current situation was like being surrounded by a sheet of paper, yet getting out would be effortless!

"Heh, quite interesting; so that Divine Spark relied on this thing to establish that patch of Divine Spark Space!" Xu Que immediately cheered up, having fathomed the truth of the Divine Spark Space.

Moreover, after the Divine Spark disappeared, Er Gouzi and Duan Jiude and the others detected nothing strange, indicating that in their eyes, he might still be meditating in a patch of darkness; in other words, the scene they saw was purely an illusion created by this invisible "cage."

"System, detect what this thing is and whether it can be collected!" Xu Que immediately summoned the System to inquire.

Although this thing couldn't trap people, it seemed capable of creating illusions, and quite realistic ones at that.

"Ding, after detection, this object is a Divine Aperture Shell; collection is possible!"

Soon, the System responded.

The Divine Aperture Shell was the husk produced after a Divine Spirit's seven apertures underwent transformation, like a snake shedding its skin, peeling off a layer; except the Divine Aperture Shell was an invisible object, yet truly and solidly existing.

This kind of thing was rather useless; it could create any illusion, possessing very strong deceptive power, yet in reality it had no might whatsoever, even a Mortal could pierce through it.

Of course, this referred only to its essence; in reality, its function was still enormous; for instance, the Divine Spark could borrow it to create a space, altering its appearance, hiding within it, causing Liu Jingning to accidentally walk right into the trap.

This gave Xu Que an inspiration; although he couldn't achieve creating a space like the Divine Spark, if he integrated this Divine Aperture Shell into some Illusion Arrays, the illusory effect would definitely multiply; if he integrated it into some Trapping and Killing Arrays, perhaps he could even trick some people into running in to deliver themselves to death!

"Tsk tsk, good stuff, collect it!" Xu Que immediately said with a laugh.

"Ding, collecting in progress; estimated time required: one hour..."

The System immediately entered a countdown.

Obviously, collecting this thing still required some difficulty; after all, in the final analysis, it was an invisible skin on a Divine Spirit's body!

And at this moment, Xu Que finally shifted his attention to that patch of Golden Beam in his hand.

This was the thing the Divine Spark gave him before disappearing; if nothing unexpected occurred, this should be the Divine Spirit Inheritance.

Xu Que carefully examined it for a moment; after confirming this thing held no danger, he slowly extended a wisp of Spiritual Sense, surging it into the Golden Beam.

The next moment, his eyes snapped open, and with face full of delight he exclaimed: "Holy crap, it really is good stuff!"
