All this while, the edges of the eyeball pattern had been unclear, like an unfinished painting.
Now, the edges of the eyeball pattern had completely appeared, and the patterns had a strange color, emitting a mysterious luster.
This was a change in his appearance. Lin Chuan felt that his connection with the picture of the eyeball had become even stronger. With just one thought, his senses spread out, and he could see everything around him from an angle that made him look down on him.
At the same time, a connection was formed between the eyeball pattern and the pendulum pattern.
In the middle of his forehead and chest, which was also his neck, a round ball of light appeared. It was a perfect circle.
"Stone ball..."
Hayashi River took a deep breath, feeling excited. He knew that the stone ball's ability had broken through.
At this moment —
A figure shot out like lightning from behind Lin Chuan. Then, from an incredibly tricky angle, he pointed at Lin Chuan.
Everyone turned pale with fright. The one who attacked was none other than Man Hua.
"Hmm..."
Hayashi River could not help but be shocked. In an instant, several countermeasures appeared in his mind.
It was incredible that there would be several countermeasures to deal with the sneak attack of a ninth realm expert...
However, these countermeasures appeared so clearly in his mind, and he was able to judge Man Hua's various means of attack.
With this breakthrough, Hayashi River's strength had increased greatly, and it could be said to be a qualitative leap. However, he had no chance of winning against a ninth realm expert.
The [Seventh Armor] on his body flashed, and on Hayashi River's shoulder, this liquid metal armor formed an arm, and directly met the attack.
Bang!?
The palm and finger collided, and the liquid metal arm collapsed, turning into layers of metal barriers, and dissolved the force of Man Hua's finger.
At this time, Hayashi River reacted, and the [Scaled Arm] was activated, forming a mechanical defensive shield. The Psychic Force and mental energy also moved, forming layers of nets, and shrouding Man Hua.
Sizzle...
In the energy pillar, the [Moon Core] also launched an electromagnetic energy pulse, attacking the centaur elder.
"Good, good..."
Man Hua laughed loudly, but he didn't dodge or evade. His fingers turned into palms, and with a few slashes in the air, he neutralized Hayashi River's counterattack.
"Young Master Chuan …"
The centaur elder opened his mouth, but he suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he changed his words, "Mister Chuan. Congratulations! "
Hayashi River was startled for a moment before he reacted and bowed to express his thanks.
In the face of a surprise attack from a Ninth Realm master, unless they were in the same realm, it was impossible to react at such a close distance. However, the Seventh Armor could react in time.
It was true that Hayashi River's current strength was far from that of a level-nine, but he had the means to deal with a level-nine cultivator.
"I didn't know the Seventh Armor could be used this way …" Hayashi River mumbled.
"Why do you think Cromwell wants to perfect it? He's not even interested in the God's Stone body. No matter how strong that body is, it's not made of flesh and blood. After changing it, it's almost impossible to improve it …"
Man Hua said. The centaur elder knew about what had happened to Cromwell in the past. The creation of the God's Stone body was actually a bait, a bait against the Oceanic Beast Army.
Back at the Foka Tower, with Cromwell's shrewdness, how could he not have noticed the Oceanic Beast Army's plot? He had played along with the Oceanic Beast Army.
However, the continent madman didn't expect that his student, his capable subordinate, would be so obsessed with the God's Stone body, and he would do anything to get it.
The Seventh Armor, which was completely compatible with the user, was not just a Nine Star Armor, but its use far exceeded …
"I didn't expect you to fuse with the Seventh Armor at this age and at this realm …" Man Hua sighed.
Hayashi River was silent for a moment, indicating that this was a personal encounter, and he also didn't expect it to be like this.
On the side, Da Jiao and the others hurriedly came forward to congratulate Hayashi River. Everyone's attitude toward this young Mechanic had changed subtly in a short period of time.
Man Hua waved his hand, gesturing for everyone to go to various parts of the Gem Nation, and to move the valuable things that needed to be moved, and not to leave behind …
In this building, only Hayashi River, Man Hua, and Mossy Bone were left.
"Senior Man Hua, do you have something to say to me?"
Hayashi River looked at the centaur elder, and the eyeball pattern changed further, allowing him to vaguely sense the emotions of others.
This was a further improvement in the detection of danger by the eyeball pattern.
"It seems that your perception, to a certain extent, has some of the characteristics of the Ninth Realm …" Man Hua looked at Hayashi River in surprise.
The centaur elder frowned, and then sighed. "I didn't want to ask for your help on this matter, but you have fused with the Seventh Armor, and with Mr. Bone …"
Looking at Mossy Bone, Man Hua's somewhat turbid eyes were filled with deep wisdom, as though he had seen through some of Mossy Bone's true origins.
"This is no small matter. I was originally prepared to face the battle alone, but with Mr. Chuan, Mr. Bone, and the core that has fused with this energy pillar … we are qualified to help …"
Hearing Man Hua's words, Hayashi River's first reaction was to refuse. For a Ninth Realm expert to be so cautious, it was not a simple matter to handle.
Hayashi River opened his mouth and was about to tactfully refuse, but Man Hua smiled and waved his hand.
"Don't be in a hurry to refuse, Mr. Chuan. I can give you a sufficient reward that you absolutely cannot refuse, including Mr. Bone …"
Man Hua said very straightforwardly.
"I know how to enter the place where the body of the leader of the Redbud Army is buried in the Dark Age! Moreover, I know the method to revive it … "
The centaur elder's words made Mossy Bone jump up, and before Hayashi River could say anything, he hurriedly agreed.
Hayashi River rolled his eyes at the side. Couldn't Mossy Bone agree a little slower? This was a deal, and there had to be some haggling.
Man Hua turned his head around and said two more things. One of them was a clue to Lan Xiaomiao's origins, and when he was halfway through his sentence, Lin Chuan's expression changed. He nodded and agreed to it without hesitation.
"As expected, the older, the wiser …"
Hayashi River sighed inwardly. Just the matter of Mossy Bone alone was enough to make him unable to refuse the centaur elder's offer of reward.
Moreover, there was such a shocking reward …
Man Hua might be a centaur, but his thoughts were very deep. He had lived for a long time, and grasped many things in his hands. It was really difficult to refuse when talking about a deal with others.
"Then … Senior Man Hua, what do you need our help with?" Hayashi River asked.
Man Hua approached and whispered to Hayashi River and Mossy Bone. The latter two looked shocked, and looked at the centaur elder in astonishment.
"Good! I will do my best to help you with this matter, "Mossy Bone said decisively.
Hayashi River nodded silently, but did not say anything. He looked at the half-destroyed energy pillar, and the light within it had completely dimmed. The fusion of the [Moon Core] had been completed.
"Owner, the database has been restored to 90%. You can consult at any time!"
"If Owner wants to rebuild the [Gem Furnace] and control the energy center, as long as there are enough materials, I can complete it."
"I can also assist Man Hua in his plan, and the success rate will increase by more than 20% …"
…
The [Moon Core]'s voice sounded again, reporting its changes to Hayashi River. Compared to the cold electronic voice from before, Hayashi River keenly felt that the [Moon Core] had undergone some strange changes after its transformation.
The group stayed in the Gem Kingdom for another day. Under the guidance of the ice snakes, they found many fragments of Energy Crystal Extracts. Although they were not complete, they were all top-grade Energy Crystals, and their value was immeasurable.
In the end, because time was too tight, the group did not stay for too long, and left after two days.
Before leaving, Hayashi River instructed the Ice Snake King to seal the entrance of the Sealed Domain in ice. When they were done with their business, they would return to slowly mine the treasures here.
"It's been so many years. I wonder what Royal City looks like now …"
Walking out of the Sealed Domain, Man Hua looked at the frozen scene of the Extreme North. He muttered to himself, revealing a look of nostalgia.
Beside him, Bayun clenched his fists. He also wanted to know what Royal City looked like after so many years. It was time for the murders of the past to come to an end.
…
Royal City of the Northern Region was located in the northeastern part of the Northern Region.
This region was not the most fertile region in the Northern Region. On the contrary, it was the most barren and cold land in the Northern Region a long time ago.
However, for thousands of years, Royal City of the Northern Region had always stood there. Three hundred kilometers away from Royal City was the territory of the Centaur Race.
Royal City of the Northern Region and the territory of the Centaur Race faced each other from a distance. They formed a triangle and became the most dangerous region in the Northern Region.
Once, the Royal Family of the Northern Region and the Centaur Army were entrenched in the two places. They cooperated with each other and resisted an army ten times their size. That battle also made the two great forces famous.
Now, compared to before, Royal City was much more prosperous and lively. It had become the center of the Northern Region.
A thousand years ago, the King of the North had once waved the King's Sword and announced to the world that the place where he was located was the center of the Northern Region. No matter how barren this place was, it would be incomparably prosperous after thousands of years.
Now, fireworks bloomed in the sky above the huge Royal City, as if to confirm the declaration of the great King a thousand years ago.
On this day, in the morning.
In a palace in King City, the current King of the North was wearing a thin robe. He stood on the roof of a building and looked at the blooming fireworks in the distance …
"It's not advisable to be so ostentatious during the day …"
The King of the North shook his head, stroked his somewhat white beard, and said to the chief clerk of the palace behind him.
The chief clerk of the palace bowed and said, "My King, this is not ostentatious. Your birthday banquet this time is no small matter. If you hold it quietly, people outside will think that something has happened in Royal City …"
The King of the North smiled and said, "Whether it's lively or quiet, will nothing happen to Royal City? After so many years, have there been any lack of incidents? "
The chief clerk's heart skipped a beat. The King of the North had always been someone who did not like to beat around the bush, but today's words were different. It was obvious that he was referring to something.
The chief clerk bowed and quickly said, "With the King presiding over the Northern Region, no matter what happens, the Northern Region will stand tall."
"Is that so …"
The King of the North laughed twice, and a trace of coldness appeared on his square and dignified face. He waved his hand, indicating that the chief clerk should leave and wait until the banquet to inform him.
He walked to the window and looked out at the boundless plains outside Royal City. A trace of melancholy appeared on the King of the North's face.
"How many years has it been … I can't believe that I've sat in this position for so long, and I'm still doing well. I wonder how many people want me to die …
"If I sit in this position for another twenty years, that old fellow in the palace of the Great Star Ao County might not be able to endure it any longer than me and die first. That old fellow should not be able to endure it any longer …"
Thinking of the enemies in the Northern Region, the King of the North sneered and tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword.
At this moment, an attendant reported that the princess had come to visit.
"Oh … She's finally willing to come back. Let her in …"
Hearing the princess's name, the King of the North's cold and stern face suddenly softened, and he raised his hand to give the order.
