Chapter 1674 Scavenging!
[You have entered a special secret realm: All Laws Return to Nothingness (Surface Layer)]
[Exploration time: 60 minutes]
[When time runs out, you will be forcibly teleported back to the starting ancient site.]
[WARNING: The laws within the secret realm are chaotic, and the energy is extremely strong. Skill effects may be weakened or undergo unpredictable changes. The spatial structure is unstable, and some areas contain traps. Please explore with caution.]
"Only one hour."
Ye Chuyun's eyes narrowed; time was of the essence, and they had to race against the clock.
He did not immediately collect the visible magic crystals.
Experience told him that in such ancient battlefields, the more conspicuous the location, the greater the potential danger.
Those seemingly tempting magic crystals might be hiding deadly restrictions left over from the great war years ago.
He first attempted to mobilize the surrounding elemental power using the [Elemental Domination] talent.
Sure enough, the elemental power is consumed more quickly when mobilized, but the effect may only be about 70% of that of the external environment.
However, the [Elemental Master]'s high degree of control over the elements still came into play, allowing him to adapt to and utilize the environment here more smoothly than others.
Next, he began scanning an area spanning several kilometers.
"Three kilometers to the northeast, the energy fluctuations are unusually concentrated and orderly, which may indicate high-value relics or storage sites, but the surrounding space is riddled with cracks."
"One and a half kilometers directly ahead, there is a strong reaction from a magic crystal vein underground. The reserves are huge, but there are residual lightning and fire law turbulence on the surface above the vein, which is highly dangerous."
"On the west side, 800 meters away, there are several scattered treasure chests and weapon fragments. The energy reaction is moderate, and the surrounding environment is relatively stable."
In just over ten seconds, Ye Chuyun quickly planned an exploration route based on the feedback from her divine sense.
"Start with the easy and then move on to the difficult."
"Use the scattered resources on the west side as an appetizer, clear them quickly, then try to approach the northeast, where there might be a surprise. Finally, if time permits, try to mine the magic crystal vein directly in front."
Once the plan was finalized, Ye Chuyun sped off to the west.
Here, movement is also suppressed by the laws, and the speed is much slower than outside, but he is still as fast as a ghost.
The 800-meter distance was covered in the blink of an eye.
This is a relatively flat, dark red Gobi desert, scattered with a dozen or so metal or treasure chests of varying sizes and ancient styles, as well as some broken swords and damaged shields half-buried in the ground.
Ye Chuyun scanned the area with his divine sense and confirmed that there were no obvious restrictions or dangerous biological remnants.
"Sword Soul, emerge!"
He let out a low shout, and nine sword spirits roared out.
At the same time, he made a series of slashing motions with his hands, precisely cutting through the remaining seals on some treasure chests with tiny spatial cracks.
These treasure chests have no levels and cannot be crafted; they are unique items found only here and can only be opened.
After the treasure chest was opened, various lights flashed by.
The harvest followed one after another.
[Obtained 350 Magic Crystals]
[Obtained 120 Magic Crystals]
[Received 18500 God and Demon Coins]
[Obtain the broken longsword]
[Obtained 5 unknown minerals]
[Obtained a tattered scroll (Tier 3)]
......
In just two minutes, all the scattered resources in this area were cleared away.
Although the value is not extremely high, the abundance and ease of acquisition make its total value quite substantial, amounting to tens of thousands of attribute points.
"Not bad efficiency!" Ye Chuyun quickly put the items into her storage space and immediately turned to the northeast without stopping.
The closer you get to the northeast region, the more unstable the space becomes.
Visible spatial cracks appear randomly in the air or on the ground.
The air is filled with chaotic elemental turbulence, occasionally bursting into small bursts of flame or lightning without warning.
Ye Chuyun carefully avoided the obvious spatial rifts, choosing to either withstand or disperse the sporadic bursts of elemental turbulence.
His body has extremely high resistance to fire, lightning, and ice, so these scattered turbulent currents can hardly cause him any effective damage.
The three-kilometer journey took nearly five minutes due to the harsh environment.
When he arrived, he saw a half-collapsed octagonal building resembling an altar, with a semi-circular control panel in the center.
The building's surface was covered with charred battle marks and corroded pits, but the control panel still emitted an extremely faint pale blue glow.
Scattered around the altar were the remains of seven or eight skeletons, their bones gleaming, clearly indicating they were quite powerful in life.
Most of them had one or two pieces of equipment or items with their spiritual light still intact.
"This is it." Ye Chuyun's spirits lifted, and he carefully scanned every inch of the altar with his divine sense, confirming that there were no traps, only a few places that had become unstable due to structural damage and needed to be avoided.
He first quickly collected the items next to the remains.
[Obtained Starlight Robe (Tier 8)]
It boasts strong defense and comes with the Starlight Guardian skill, but its durability is relatively low.
[Obtained a damaged Demon-Slaying Ring (Tier 8)]
With only a fraction of its power remaining, it can significantly increase the destructive power against shields.
[Obtain 3 Space Stabilization Crystals]
These are precious materials that can be used to stabilize space passages or to forge space equipment.
[Obtained 15 High-Tier Magic Crystals]
A single piece contains energy comparable to hundreds of standard magic crystals.
[Obtained 1 unknown token]
It is inscribed with ancient, undecipherable characters.
Ye Chuyun didn't have time to look closely and turned her gaze to the control panel that was emitting a faint light.
His intuition told him that there might be a bigger secret or wealth hidden here.
He cautiously approached the console; its internal structure was extremely complex, mostly damaged, but there was a groove at its core.
A dark silver jewel lay quietly inside the groove.
"Could this be...?" Ye Chuyun's heart raced.
He carefully removed the jewel from the groove.
The moment the precious orb left the groove, the last glimmer of light on the dilapidated altar was completely extinguished.
[Obtained a fragment of a Law Crystal (incomplete)]
[Fragmented Law Crystal (Incomplete): A strange crystal formed slowly under special conditions by the condensation of various collapsed laws during the Void of All Laws. It has a wide range of uses and is extremely dangerous.]
It can be used for: extremely high-risk comprehension of laws, as a core catalyst in certain forbidden alchemy or forging, as a sacrifice to a specific being in exchange for huge rewards, or for individuals with special talents to attempt to absorb it (Warning: extremely high probability of causing one's own laws to become disordered or even collapse).
"A crystallized fragment of a law!" Ye Chuyun gasped in surprise; this was truly a treasure.
Its value may even exceed the sum of all previous gains.
It can be used to comprehend the laws, as a catalyst for certain forbidden alchemy or forging, as a sacrifice for huge rewards, or absorbed by those with special talents.
Although its use carries enormous risks, it is undoubtedly a potentially huge boost for Ye Chuyun, who is destined to touch upon higher-level laws in the future.
Even if it is not used for the time being, its value as a top-grade material is immeasurable.
