"Where is the Epitome Monarch Pill?" Zhang Xuan asked.
"I don't know where it is. I've only seen it once out of the four Flooding Sages, and I was nearly killed there," Ao Feng replied.
"You don't know?"
"Not only does the Epitome Monarch Pill possess sentience, but it can also assume the form of a human. It specializes in concealment and sneak attacks, making it difficult for one to guard against it. Our Sky of Cloud Dragon's Conferred God King Ao Ye was killed by it!"
Ao Feng shook his head.
The Flooding Sea was filled with traps and danger zones, as well as ambushers lurking in the depths of the sea. However, the one that he feared the most was the Epitome Monarch Pill.
Given that the Epitome Monarch Pill was able to transform into a pill and hide in a narrow space, it would be difficult for one to guard against it.
If not for the disciples of the Heaven Subjugation Monarch passing by, he might have already been reduced to nourishment for the Epitome Monarch Pill.
"Where did you see it the last time?"
"The Lake of Comets," Ao Feng replied.
The Lake of Comets was one of the perilous lands of the Flooding Sea. There were all kinds of meteors flying around the area irregularly, forming something reminiscent of a massive formation. Unless one was looking for a valuable treasure, even a top-notch Conferred God King would not dare enter the Lake of Comets.
"Let's go take a look!"
After learning the location, Zhang Xuan and Ao Feng tore through space and arrived at the Lake of Comets.
The area before them resembled the surface of a massive lake. Countless meteors with long tails were roaming around the lake, and from time to time, two of them would collide with one another, resulting in a deafening explosion and ripples in the surrounding space.
"The most dangerous thing in there isn't the meteors or their collisions but the bizarre and ever-changing gravity!"
Ao Feng said grimly. "The reason why these meteors are flying around randomly is because the gravity here is unstable, and it can change at any moment!"
Zhang Xuan frowned.
He had experienced the changes in gravity on the Azure Azure's Azure Bridge. Back then, he had only changed the vertical gravity to a horizontal one, but that had nearly caused him to collapse.
At this moment, the Lake of Comets was filled with all kinds of meteors, as if they were ping-pong balls thrown into a wooden barrel.
If the gravity here was in the same direction as the meteors, putting aside finding the Epitome Monarch Pill, it would probably take him a very long time to adapt to it.
"Let me try!"
Astonished, Zhang Xuan extended his Spiritual Perception into the room. Not too long after he entered, his face turned paler and paler.
Just as Zhang Xuan had imagined, it was not just his physical body that was entering the vortex. Even his soul would be affected by the gravitational force, and he would need to constantly adapt to it. It was as if he had fallen into a washing machine, causing him to feel dizzy and unable to find his bearings.
Luo Qiqi took out a sword and tossed it in casually. The next moment, the sword spun around wildly, as if a fly trapped in a glass cage.
Bang!
After circling around a few times, under the powerful gravitational pull, the Artifact Spirit was obliterated, and the weapon disintegrated.
The three of them looked at each other.
The gravity here was simply too chaotic, such that even high-tier Celestial God artifacts would not be able to withstand it.
"How did you get in with such chaotic gravity?"
Luo Qiqi looked to the side.
"Actually, I didn't go in. I was ambushed outside …" Ao Feng's face reddened.
Zhang Xuan nodded.
It was no wonder.
Even Zhang Xuan felt goosebumps rising on his skin just by looking at the place. Considering that Zhang Xuan was only a Conferred God King, it would not be easy for him to venture too deep into the depths of the mountain range.
"I'll go in to take a look. Don't make any reckless moves!"
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Xuan sent a surge of Sword Intent out from his dantian to envelop his entire body. With a slight jolt, he dived into the lake.
Tzzzzz!
As soon as he stepped in, he immediately felt a powerful force tearing at him, threatening to tear him into shreds.
Driving his strength, Zhang Xuan's muscles bulged, but he remained rooted to the spot like a boulder.
The gravitational force in the surroundings continued to surge, and Zhang Xuan took a moment to adapt to it before he stepped in with widened strides.
Sou sou!
Two meteors were drawn in by the gravitational pull, and they began charging right toward him. Taking out his sword, Zhang Xuan slashed it lightly.
The two meteors were split apart from the center, and a mushroom cloud rose into the air.
"What resilient meteors … This is good stuff!"
Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up in excitement.
He had been wondering why these meteors were able to withstand the gravitational pull when even high-tier Celestial God artifacts were unable to withstand it. It turned out that the toughness of these meteors was already comparable to God King 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'll surely be able to wield them …"
Activating his Eye of Insight, Zhang Xuan quickly realized that these meteors were single-use resources that could not be used to forge weapons. Even so, if he could collect them, they would still be a formidable weapon.
Just that …
Given how fast these meteors were, how was he supposed to collect them?
"They're too fast. If I were to collect them directly into my storage ring, the ring would be pierced through, and the stable space inside would be shattered as well …"
Due to the gravitational pull, these meteors were able to move swiftly and exert immense force. Even the space of the Firmament would be unable to stabilize them. If he were to collect them recklessly, it would only result in the collapse of his storage ring, and all of the items inside would be reduced to dust.
As for stabilizing them, given his current strength, that was even more impossible!
Under the immense gravitational pull, it was already difficult for him to even stabilize his body, let alone stop all of these massive meteors.
"Even though these meteors can't be forged into weapons, based on their toughness, they should be extremely resilient weapons. It's 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 extremely sturdy. Even though they were not comparable to the meteors before him, their offensive prowess was not too far off.
If he could enchant them, he might be able to stop them easily and stow them into his storage ring.
"Let me give it a try!"
With this 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, and he placed his hand on it.
…
Outside the Lake of Comets …
"There are so many meteors here, and the gravitational pull is chaotic. 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 and space here are chaotic, such that even I am unable to stabilize myself. Zhang Shi, I'm worried that you might be injured by the impact of the meteors," Luo Qiqi said worriedly.
The meteors before them were flying around randomly, and the slightest carelessness could very well bring them under attack. The danger here was many times greater than the mountain stream and the like.
Even an artifact spirit like her, who had incredible control over space, was having trouble navigating through it, so it was likely that it would be even more difficult for Zhang Xuan!
"I also think that these meteors are too fearsome. If I were to enter, I might not even last ten seconds …" Ao Feng nodded.
Ao Feng nodded. Just as he was about to continue speaking, his face suddenly froze on the spot. He saw a young man standing in the middle of the Lake of Comets, surrounded by countless comets. From time to time, they would jump up and down, as if they were a bunch of tamed stray dogs.
