Chapter 182

"An eighth-rank soul defense treasure."

Lin Yuan's gaze grew slightly intense.

Among all the treasures, soul defense treasures were undoubtedly the most precious kind. The soul carries the true spirit of consciousness, bearing the essence of life itself.

For high-rank evolvers, the destruction of the physical body doesn't equate to death. However, any issues with the soul directly affect the consciousness and true spirit.

Of all the treasures left behind by Evolver Ouyin, the most precious was undoubtedly this one. In fact, Lin Yuan had encountered soul defense treasures before.

The championship reward of the Canglan Star Arena Tournament included a soul defense treasure. However, that soul defense treasure was only of the third or fourth rank, nothing compared to the eighth-rank soul defense treasure left by Ouyin.

"Is it in the shape of a droplet?"

Lin Yuan took out the soul defense treasure. It was a drop of sky-blue liquid, about the size of a thumb. Upon closer inspection, fine cracks could be seen appearing on the surface of the droplet.

"Senior Ouyin had an eighth-rank armor for defending the body and an eighth-rank droplet for safeguarding the soul, yet he still perished, falling to an attack on his soul from the Black Abyss Clan's Qingyu."

"Even this soul droplet was almost penetrated."

Lin Yuan pondered silently.

Although soul defense treasures could protect the soul, it didn't mean they were foolproof. Even an eighth-rank soul defense treasure had its limits. Once surpassed, soul attacks could pierce through the treasure and directly assault the soul itself.

"Could that Qingyu from the Black Abyss Clan, at the eighth rank, possess the ability to breach the protection of an eighth-rank soul defense treasure?"

Lin Yuan wondered.

The designation of "eighth rank" for soul defense treasures indicated their ability to withstand the majority of eighth-rank soul attacks.

"Those aliens."

Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.

While humanity held an advantage in the war against the aliens, it was still only an advantage. Numerous strong individuals on the human side still perished.

Qingyu was merely from the Black Abyss Clan. If it were on battlefields against pinnacle clans like the Insect Clan, the casualties on the human side would be even greater.

"This droplet is damaged."

Lin Yuan reached out to touch the sky-blue droplet.

However, even if it was damaged, it was still an eighth-rank soul defense treasure. If Lin Yuan wished, he could easily exchange it for four or five pieces of eighth-rank armor like those left by Ouyin.

Most of the wealth of Evolver Ouyin was probably invested in this defense droplet.

"I should find my teacher when I have time and see if he can repair it."

Lin Yuan thought to himself. Since it was broken, it could certainly be fixed. However, repairing an eighth-rank soul defense treasure would depend on whether Red Kun Star Lord had the means.

As for whether revealing that he had inherited Ouyin's legacy would lead to any repercussions, even if it was exposed, what could happen?

Ouyin had perished over a million years ago, and as an indipendent evolver, Lin Yuan, as one of the Thirteen Peaks Masters of the Red Kun Lineage, had no one to answer to.

Moreover, the teacher, Red Kun Star Lord, belonged to the same tier of strength as Qingyu from the Black Abyss Clan a million years ago. He probably wouldn't be interested in a broken soul droplet.

"Special lifeblood essence elixir."

Lin Yuan took out a transparent test tube containing a viscous purple liquid.

This kind of special lifeblood essence elixir had no use for individual evolvers. Its greatest effect lay in implanting it into the bloodlines of offspring to create a powerful evolver lineage.

Such blood essence elixirs were much superior to those left by Rank-6 Star-Falling Level Evolvers. They were purer, increased the likelihood of awakening bloodlines in descendants, and had higher limits.

"In the future, I can also use this blood essence elixir to create a powerful evolver lineage for the purpose of fostering influence."

Lin Yuan had a plan in mind. Even if he didn't intend to create his own evolver lineage, he could sell it at any time if needed.

After all, such special lifeblood essence was scarce, and the elixir that resulted from drawing the essence of who-knows-how-many special life forms would only become rarer in the future.

Apart from the wealth and treasures left behind by Evolver Ouyin, Lin Yuan had also gained a considerable amount of rewards from killing several strong members of the Black Abyss Clan.

However, compared to Ouyin, it was naturally far less. Those strong members of the Black Abyss Clan who dared to venture onto the battlefield would undoubtedly leave most of their wealth and treasures in their homeland. What they carried were mainly weapons needed for battle.

"Upload the combat kill video."

Lin Yuan directly uploaded the video of himself killing those five members of the Black Abyss Clan to the Free Goddess.

This was also important evidence for the Free Goddess to determine whether to award merit points. The video recording function originated from the Three Goddesses, making it impossible for outsiders to tamper with or alter the videos.

Moreover, the video's perspective included oneself, eliminating the possibility of evaders killing members of the same clan and looting their videos to pass them off as their own kills.

"Ding—"

"The authenticity of the video is confirmed, and the facts are verified. After judgment, it is worth five thousand merit points."

The cold and murderous voice of the Free Goddess resounded.

"Five thousand merit points."

Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.

Lin Yuan maneuvered the spaceship to a halt.

Not far away was a floating mountain range, winding for hundreds of thousands of miles, emanating a terrifying aura.

The moment Lin Yuan approached, he voluntarily released the aura of the battlefield pass.

Before long, a tall figure clad in black armor descended.

"Brother, what's your intention in coming to this battlefield?"

The man in black armor approached, speaking warmly.

Since Lin Yuan could release the aura of the battlefield pass, it proved that he belonged to the human race. The aliens couldn't mimic the aura of the battlefield pass, not even those few strongest pinnacle clans could.

"I'm planning to head to that permanent spatial rift and comprehend the spatial rules."

Lin Yuan immediately stated his purpose.

It was obvious that the man in armor loved battling aliens and was now thinking of recruiting Lin Yuan.

"Oh, I see."

Disappointment flashed across the man's face.

"Then come with me."

The man in armor turned around and flew towards the floating mountain range behind him.

Lin Yuan followed immediately.

Soon, the two entered the floating mountains.

"Half of the area near the permanent spatial rift is occupied by the Black Abyss Clan. Be careful when you're there and don't get too immersed," the man in armor warned.

In the alien battlefield, clashes between humans and the Black Abyss Clan still retained some rationality. There were areas where fighting was implicitly prohibited, such as around the permanent spatial rift.

Both human evolvers and strong members of the Black Abyss Clan went there to comprehend spatial rules. Therefore, for tens of thousands of years, both sides tacitly agreed not to engage in combat there.

But if someone thought that area was really safe, they would be foolish.

That's why the man in armor reminded Lin Yuan.

"I understand," Lin Yuan nodded.

He had made more than enough preparations before coming.

"Good."

"Follow me."

The man in armor led Lin Yuan to a teleportation area.

From here, they could immediately arrive near the permanent spatial rift.

Buzz!!

The teleportation began.

Lin Yuan felt the intense fluctuations of spatial power around him.

When it finally settled down a bit, he found himself in another location.

"There?"

Lin Yuan looked up and saw a dark 'crack' not far away.

It was filled with hazy gray gas, with a large amount of spatial power surging inside, causing even the spatial rules to fluctuate constantly.

"That's the permanent spatial rift in this battlefield," the man in armor explained in a low voice as he looked in the same direction.

"This permanent spatial rift was caused by a human evolver wielding an extremely powerful weapon, so it's not very large."

"In larger alien battlefields, permanent spatial rifts created by stronger beings can reach hundreds of thousands, millions, or even billions of miles."

"It's said that such large spatial rifts often have traces of 'outsiders,' and they're extremely dangerous."

The man in armor marveled as he introduced the rift.

However, there was something the man in armor didn't know.

At this moment.

Lin Yuan's heart was not calm.

Because as he gazed at the permanent spatial rift only about ten meters in size not far away, deep in his mind, the majestic and grand Gate of the Myriad Realms began to tremble slightly.
