Chapter 490: Chapter 281: Cultivation World 71_3

A small portion of the power of the space rift was forcibly altered by that collapsing domain, rebounding back at the giant claw itself!

"Roar—!"

The Sky-breaking Demon Python let out a howl mixed with pain and astonishment! Its sharp claw scales were actually countered by its own space rift, leaving several deep scratches, seeping cold, dark blue blood!

Opportunity!

In that moment of chaotic space fluctuations, with the old force just exhausted and new force yet to arise! Si Lingle suppressed the turbulent blood caused by hard resistance against the strike of a Daluo Golden Immortal, silver brilliance bursting from her eyes!

Her hands moved swiftly like plucking celestial strings, rapidly changing positions! No longer defending, but instead pouring all her strength into unleashing a space-based killing technique—

"Void Strike·Soul Suppressing Coffin!"

With the Demon Qiu at the center, in six directions: up, down, left, right, front, and back, the space instantly solidified like mysterious ice and glass!

This solidification was not static; the "density" of the space was elevated to the extreme, forming six invisible, indestructible barriers that compressed inward with dreadful force, sealing it!

Meanwhile, at the compressed core, layers of invisible space ripples undulated like water waves, with a bizarre vibration frequency penetrating the Divine Soul—not attacking the physical body, but using space resonance to directly assault the Divine Soul trapped within!

Causing it to instantly fall into intense squeezing, tearing, and freezing pain and dizziness!

The Sky-breaking Demon Python was caught off guard, its massive body forcibly immobilized by this abruptly solidified "space coffin"! The terrifying compression made its proud scales creak, while the direct strike on the Divine Soul further muddled its consciousness, instantly halting its immense demonic power!

"Seal!"

Si Lingle uttered crisply; her face turned pale as paper, a trace of red seeped from the corner of her mouth. Forcing the use of the time and space resonance-based sealing attack she hadn’t fully mastered put immense strain on her at the Heavenly Immortal Stage, nearly exhausting all immortal power. Yet her eyes remained calmly icy.

She bit through her tongue tip, spitting a mouthful of vital blood mixed with the last trace of immortal power, transforming into countless dense silver runes, instantly branding on the invisible "space coffin"! The seal was thoroughly reinforced!

The massive Demon Qiu was tightly imprisoned within the solidified space, like a prehistoric beast encased in huge blue crystal, unable to break free in a short time regardless of its Daluo Golden Immortal might!

The battle halted.

Si Lingle staggered, swiftly swallowing several elixirs to restore immortal power, vigilantly watching the sealed Demon Qiu. After confirming it couldn’t break through temporarily, she slowly let out a sigh, cold sweat soaking her forehead.

This place is perilous and shouldn’t be lingered.

She immediately prepared to leave this area. However, as her gaze swept over the large hole where the Demon Qiu burst from the ground, her eyes suddenly froze.

At the bottom of the deep cavern, disturbed by the power just surged from the Demon Qiu, scattered rubble and dust revealed a faint light different from the surrounding cold, dark blue—a soft, pure, seemingly containing the essence of time and space, silver-white glow.

Feeling moved, Si Lingle unhesitatingly slipped into the cavern. The further down she went, the stronger the feeling of vast depth of space, yet she could faintly sense the attraction of the silver-white light point.

Reaching the cave bottom, the source of the light finally revealed itself: a head-sized, irregularly shaped, seemingly unrefined natural mineral.

Its entire body was semi-transparent crystal white, with silver gleams swirling within like stars.

Its surface was not smooth, but covered with extremely subtle, continually emerging and disappearing natural space ripples, as if it was undergoing eternal micro-folding and derivation internally.

The entire crystal stone emanated not vast energy but a kind of affinity towards space law, a strange fluctuation that greatly enhances perception and peace of mind.

"Void Realm Profound Embryo? No... it’s more fundamental... a fragment of the ’Heart of Space’ mother crystal?!" Si Lingle’s eyes for the first time revealed uncontrollable shock and ecstasy!

This object, in the Space Treasure Manual, exists only as a legendary Divine Artifact, a rare marvel representing the manifestation of space law at the creation of the world, containing the most primal space Dao!

Though the fragment is not large, it is undoubtedly a remarkable ancient treasure!

Its value far surpasses countless Immortal Elixirs!

It can not only accelerate her comprehension speed of space law by several to dozens of times but also elevate her mastery of "space" to an incredible realm, potentially even glimpsing a hint of the mysteries of Time Law!

No wonder the Sky-breaking Demon Python chose to seal itself here in slumber; it definitely sensed the energy emanated from the "Heart of Space" fragment had evolutionary effects on it! Though now, this grand opportunity has fallen into Si Lingle’s hands after a hard-fought victory!

Si Lingle promptly took out the most solid Mystic Jade Box, cautiously wrapping and isolating the fragment’s aura with purest Space Power, sealing it away.

Just as the "Heart of Space" fragment was put away, within the lingering space fluctuations in the depths of the cavern, a barely perceivable whirlpool-like space coordinate mark, pointing to a deeper part of the Secret Realm... flickered and vanished!

Si Lingle realized: This fragment might not just be an opportunity but possibly a key leading to the most central and ancient secret treasure of the "Nine Nether Sea Realm"—perhaps belonging to a sealed primordial Daluo Golden Immortal’s true legacy!

She glanced at the sealed Demon Qiu, not lingering, her figure quietly blended into the viscous space flow, stealthily heading towards deeper and more dangerous regions of the Secret Realm promising even grander opportunities. In her eyes, the silver-gray light grew deeper and resplendent, as if harboring galaxies and cosmos.

The fragment of opportunity she tightly held seemed to whisper: In this ancient relic where even Daluo Golden Immortals struggle to stand, space itself is the true key. And the one holding this key is about to push open an invisible door to higher dimensions.
