"Where's the Epitome Monarch Bead?" Zhang Xuan asked.
"I don't know where it is. I've only seen it once, and I was nearly killed by it," Ao Feng replied.
"You don't know?"
"Not only does the Epitome Monarch Bead possess a consciousness of its own, it can even morph into a human form. It's extremely adept at ambushing others. Conferred God King Ao Ye from the Sky of Cloud Dragon was killed by it!"
Ao Feng shook his head.
The Flooding Sea was filled with traps, danger zones, and hidden ambushers, but the one that he feared the most was the Epitome Monarch Bead!
It could morph into a pill and hide in a narrow space, preventing it from releasing the slightest bit of its aura. It would be hard for him to guard against it.
If not for the disciples of the Heaven Subjugation Monarch who happened to be passing by, he could have very well become the Epitome Monarch Bead's nourishment.
"Where did you see it last time?"
"The Lake of Comets!" Ao Feng nodded.
The Lake of Comets was one of the most dangerous locations in the Flooding Sea. There were all kinds of meteorites flying around randomly, forming a massive formation. Unless one was in possession of some valuable artifact, not even top Conferred God Kings would dare to enter the Lake of Comets.
"Let's take a look!"
After learning the location, Zhang Xuan and Ao Feng tore through space and arrived at the Lake of Comets.
The first thing that entered their sight was a massive lake. Countless meteors with long tails were drifting around the lake, and occasionally, they would collide with one another, resulting in a deafening explosion. Ripples would form in the air, and pitch-black cracks would appear in the space around them.
"The most dangerous thing here isn't the meteors or their collisions but the bizarre gravity that is constantly changing!"
Looking at the lake in front of him, Ao Feng's face turned grim. "The reason why these meteors are flying around randomly is because the gravity is chaotic and can change at any moment!"
Zhang Xuan frowned.
He had already experienced the change in gravity back when he was on the Azure Bridge. Back then, just by changing the direction of gravity from vertical to horizontal, he had nearly failed to cope with it.
At this moment, the Lake of Comets before him was filled with all kinds of meteorites, reminiscent of ping-pong balls falling into a bucket.
If the direction of gravity was the same as the direction of the meteors, putting aside finding the Epitome Monarch Bead, it would take him a long time to adapt to it!
"Let me try!"
Shocked, Zhang Xuan quickly extended his Spiritual Perception into the cave, and shortly after, his face began to pale.
Just as Zhang Xuan had expected, not only did his physical body enter, even his soul would be affected by the gravitational pull as well. He would have to constantly adjust to the gravitational pull before he could get used to it. It was as if he had fallen into a washing machine, leaving him dizzy and unable to tell his bearings.
Luo Qiqi took out a sword and tossed it in casually. Following which, the sword began spinning around wildly like a fly trapped in a glass case.
Bang!
After circling a few times, under the augmentation of the powerful gravitational force, the artifact spirit was obliterated, and the artifact disintegrated.
The three of them looked at each other.
The gravity was so chaotic that even a High Tier Heavenly God Artifact would not be able to withstand it.
"How did you get in with such chaotic gravity?"
Luo Qiqi glanced to the side.
"Actually, I didn't go in. I was attacked outside …" Ao Feng's face reddened.
Zhang Xuan nodded.
No wonder.
Even Zhang Xuan couldn't help but feel goosebumps rising all over his body just by looking at it. Considering how the other party was only an ordinary Conferred God King, it wouldn't have been easy for him to venture into the depths of the forest.
"I'll go in to take a look. Don't act recklessly!"
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Xuan drew a surge of Sword Intent from his dantian and shrouded his entire body. With a light jolt, he dived into the lake.
Tzzzzzzz!
As soon as he stepped in, he immediately felt a powerful force pulling at him, threatening to tear him to shreds.
Driving his strength, Zhang Xuan's muscles bulged at the same time as he stood firmly on the spot.
The gravitational pull in the surroundings continued to surge toward him like a tidal wave. It took Zhang Xuan a moment to adapt to the gravitational pull before he stepped in with widened strides.
Sou sou!
Two meteors were pulled by the gravitational pull toward him. Zhang Xuan whipped out his sword and slashed lightly.
The two meteors burst apart simultaneously, creating a mushroom cloud in the air.
"What tough meteors … This is good stuff!"
Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up in excitement.
He had been wondering why even high-tier Celestial God realm pinnacle artifacts were unable to withstand the gravitational pull, but these meteors were able to remain unscathed. It turned out that the toughness of these meteors was on par with God King realm artifacts.
"It's a pity that I can't forge them into weapons. However, if I can collect these meteors and throw them at an expert, I'm sure they'll be quite powerful …"
Activating his Eye of Insight, Zhang Xuan swiftly came to a realization. These ores could only be used once, and they couldn't be melted back into the cauldron to forge weapons. Even so, if he could collect them, they could be considered as a powerful weapon.
Just that …
How was he supposed to collect these meteors at such a fast speed?
"If I were to collect them into my storage ring right away, my storage ring would be pierced through, and the stable space within would be shattered as well …"
These meteors were affected by the gravitational pull, making them extremely fast and powerful. Even the Firmament would find it difficult to stabilize them. If he were to collect them recklessly, his storage ring would crumble on the spot, and all of the items within would be reduced to dust.
As for stabilizing them, that was even more impossible with his current strength.
Under the immense gravitational pull, it was already difficult for him to even stabilize his body, let alone stop these massive meteors.
"While these meteors can't be used to forge weapons, judging from their toughness, they should be extremely resilient weapons, similar to the bricks that I forged … Since they're weapons, should I be able to enchant them?"
Zhang Xuan thought.
Under normal circumstances, the bricks that he forged did not have any sharp edges, making them heavy and resilient. While they could not compare to these meteors, their offensive capabilities were not too far off.
If he could enchant them, he might be able to stop them and store them into his storage ring.
"Let me give it a try!"
With such a thought in mind, Zhang Xuan stopped resisting the gravitational pull and flew toward one of the meteors. In the blink of an eye, he was already right before it.
…
Outside the Lake of Comets …
"There are so many meteors here, and the gravitational pull is disrupted. Will Elder Zhang be fine?"
Ao Feng asked as he watched Zhang Xuan fly into the lake.
"I'm not too sure either. The gravitational pull here is so disrupted that even I am unable to stabilize them. Zhang Shi, I'm worried that he might be injured by the impact of the meteors …" Luo Qiqi replied worriedly.
The meteors were flying all over the place, and the slightest carelessness could result in one being attacked. It was far more dangerous than the mountain streams.
Even as an artifact spirit, she was unable to traverse the Firmament Lake, let alone Zhang Xuan!
"I think so too. These meteors are too fearsome. If I were to enter, I wouldn't even last ten seconds …"
Ao Feng nodded. Just as he was about to continue speaking, his face suddenly froze. Following which, he saw a young man standing in the middle of the Lake of Comets. Countless meteors were flying around him, jumping up and down from time to time, as if they were a bunch of tamed stray dogs.
