Ye Tian shattered one stone or meteorite after another, harvesting spatial beads of various sizes. The larger ones were as big as basketballs, while the smaller ones were no bigger than a thumb. It was clear that this was not a matter of luck, as every stone Ye Tian shattered contained a spatial bead.
“A treasure-hunting talent, perhaps?” speculated one of the Heavenly Prides.
Though treasure-hunting talents were rare, there were still a significant number of martial warriors and ferocious beasts within the Hengpan Galaxy who possessed such talents. However, these Heavenly Prides lacked such a talent and were unwilling to share the opportunities here with others, leaving them no choice but to slowly search for spatial beads themselves.
“Hmph, what good is a treasure-hunting talent if it triggers the power of time and space? He would still die!”
“Exactly, shattering stones so frequently is bound to touch upon the forces of time and space!”
“He’s as good as dead. Once he dies, we’ll take the treasures from his body,” the other Heavenly Prides thought to themselves.
Yet, despite shattering many stones, Ye Tian did not trigger the power of time and space. In no time, he had amassed a large number of spatial beads, worth approximately 1 million divine crystals.
Sensing with his treasure-hunting talent, Ye Tian realized that the number of spatial beads in the area had dwindled, leaving only the smaller, less valuable ones.
“Forget it, I’ll leave the rest to you,” Ye Tian decided to leave.
However, as he was about to leave, five Heavenly Prides chased after him.
“What do you want with me?” Ye Tian asked coldly.
One of them threatened, “Hand over the spatial beads!”
The others also clamored for Ye Tian to surrender the spatial beads. They had witnessed Ye Tian obtaining a large quantity of spatial beads, valued at 1 million divine crystals—a fortune they could not ignore.
“If you dare to fight here, the power of time and space might annihilate you!” Ye Tian warned.
“So, if you’re scared, just hand over some of the spatial beads. We’re not greedy; we can share,” one of the Heavenly Prides suggested.
Sighing deeply, Ye Tian seemed to be conceding, but instead, he said, “You could have lived. Why seek death?”
With that, Ye Tian drew his sword. Before the five Heavenly Prides could react, they were slain, their bodies shattered.
In an instant, Ye Tian killed five Heavenly Prides. Observing from a distance, three other Heavenly Prides, clearly from the same faction, were startled but did not attack Ye Tian. After giving them a glance, Ye Tian turned and left.
“This haul is tremendous—spatial beads worth 1 million divine crystals. The total value far exceeds that of Spatial Amethysts!” Ye Tian was exhilarated.
He then checked the rings of the five fallen Heavenly Prides. Though they were Heavenly Prides, their possessions were not particularly useful to Ye Tian, save for one significant find—a purple crystal emanating faint spatial fluctuations.
“Space purple crystal!” Ye Tian exclaimed, having finally found the sought-after Spatial Amethyst so effortlessly.
However, the crystal was too small, requiring at least three times its amount for Ye Tian’s intended use.
Nonetheless, this first purple crystal was a good omen and a start for Ye Tian, who continued his search for more.
To others, the dangerous void of space posed a threat, but to Ye Tian, it was relatively safe. Still, he remained cautious, wary of unseen dangers.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and one day, Ye Tian’s treasure-hunting talent finally sensed a vibrant, multicolored light.
“It’s very likely a Spatial Amethyst!” Ye Tian speculated.
With a swift motion, he flew towards it and soon spotted a spatial vortex with the treasure nestled inside. Unable to see the interior of the spatial vortex with the naked eye, Ye Tian activated his Xumi Eyes.
Under the gaze of the Xumi Eyes, the interior of the spatial vortex was laid bare, revealing a floating purple crystal—indeed a Spatial Amethyst.
“Found it!” Ye Tian was thrilled.
This Spatial Amethyst was not small; it was five times the size of the previous one Ye Tian had found.
With these two Spatial Amethysts, Ye Tian had enough to cultivate his spatial divine abilities. However, retrieving the crystal was no easy task. Although there was no time power here, the spatial power was formidable, and Ye Tian could not withstand it if it were to explode.
Instantly, Ye Tian activated his Spatial Divine Body, achieving perfect harmony with the space around him. Then, using his Mystic-level spatial talent, he enveloped his right hand and reached into the spatial vortex, swiftly grabbing the Spatial Amethyst and teleporting away.
From a distance, Ye Tian reappeared, unharmed except for his right hand, which was almost obliterated by the spatial forces, leaving only a skeletal structure that firmly grasped the Spatial Amethyst.
“Healing Talent, activate!”
“Life Talent, activate!”
“Immortality Talent, activate!”
Under the combined effect of these three talents, the flesh on Ye Tian’s hand regenerated at an incredible pace. In less than a moment, his right hand was fully restored, without a trace of injury.
“It’s time to leave,” Ye Tian murmured.
Having achieved his goal, there was no need to stay in the Broken Void Planetary System any longer. But just then, Ye Tian’s expression changed.
From afar, the fluctuations of a battle between two Heavenly Prides reached him. A violent battle caused a vast area of the Broken Void Planetary System to collapse, and the spatial fluctuations even spread to where Ye Tian was.
“This is bad!” Ye Tian’s expression darkened.
The spatial fluctuations were too fast, and in a place like the Broken Void Planetary System, he couldn’t fly or teleport away quickly.
Immediately, Ye Tian deployed all his defensive measures.
“God-level Defense Talent!”
“Mystic-level Diamond Bone Talent!”
“God-level Iron Armor Talent!”
“God-level Wood Shield Talent!”
“Dark Qilin Demon Body Technique!”
Furthermore, Ye Tian utilized his spatial talent to fend off the spatial forces.
Crack! The space around Ye Tian collapsed, and the terrifying spatial forces bombarded him. Layer after layer of defense was shattered, subjecting Ye Tian to immense pressure.
Suddenly, a shard of spatial debris penetrated Ye Tian’s defenses and pierced his body. Fortunately, Ye Tian’s Immortality Talent and various healing talents ensured his survival.
Otherwise, any ordinary Heavenly Pride would have been dead.
Ye Tian summoned this spatial divine artifact to defend against the spatial forces. However, the Dimensional Cube started to crack after a while.
Crack! The lower-grade divine artifact, the Dimensional Cube, shattered completely. At that moment, a suction force emerged.
“This is the fluctuation of a world,” Ye Tian thought with a hint of joy.
He didn’t care about the origin of this world’s fluctuation; it was certainly better than waiting to die.
Ye Tian let himself be drawn in by the world’s fluctuation, abandoning resistance and getting sucked into the mysterious world.
On a grassy plain, Ye Tian lay there, breathing in the fresh air, feeling a sense of relief.
He was severely injured and focused on healing his wounds.
After a while, he stood up and looked around.
“What world is this?”
