Chapter 1297 - Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Jade Pedestal (2/2)

“What treasure?” Yang Kai asked curiously, wondering just what kind of treasure Yang Yan was so focused on refining

“It’s a secret for now, but when the tirinned and returned the space Rings

Yang Kai glanced at her but didn’t ask anys, he turned his attention back to the jade pillar’s barrier and asked, “Can you open this?”

“I can!” Yang Yan gently nodded, “But are you sure you want to open it? I don’t knohy, but I feel a dangerous aura co Kai was surprised He had thought it was just an illusion, but now Yang Yan’s intuition was telling her the sa Kai’s expression beca that couldin front of hierous, but at the sa Yan didn’t speak as she continued staring at the melon-sized stone in front of the, “Let’s open it I believe that even if it is dangerous, we should be able to defend ourselves If ere to just give up after co this far, it would be tooso, she took out her array breaking tools and got to work

Seeing this, Yang Kai iilant and condensed his Saint Qi, preparing to act at aKai released the Stone Puppet as well and sent it a command with his Divine Sense The Stone Puppet immediately rushed to the Saint Crystals and other rare ores and began inhaling them

The structure of the Stone Puppet’s body was truly h the Stone Puppet looked quite small, its stomach seemed to contain infinite space, and in the blink of an eye it had already sed half a hill of Saint Crystals

Yang Kai had asked Yang Yan about this before, and from her learned that the Stone Puppet itself had an innate ability to devour ores and evolve Most of the ore sould be spit back out, but it would absorb part of them and their essence to enhance itself

Additionally, the Stone Puppet would take on some of the characteristics of the ore it sed after absorbing the the first ores the Stone Puppet devoured after it was born were space Spirit Crystals that contained large amounts of space Force It was probably because of this that the Stone Puppet’s stomach capacity had increased exponentially, otherwise, even if an average Stone Puppet had the innate ability to devour large quantities of ore, it would not have been so exaggerated

The Stone Puppet devoured the Saint Crystals and ores extre Kai didn’t need to pay any attention to it, instead focusing his attention on Yang Yan’s actions

The barrier covering the strange ore see Yan, it was taking her quite so Kai was naturally concerned that so unexpected would happen, so he quietly released his Divine Sense to s

After an initial investigation though, he was quite surprised

Just outside, in the Secret Cave that the two had swept clean athe Kai’s powerful Divine Sense he was still able to detect the Kai was that these two Corpse Soldiers were only equivalent to Third-Order Saint Kings, and they didn’t show any signs of aggression In fact, these tere just staying in place,Kai was disinclined towhile silentlyYan continued her work

For Yang Kai, as long as they could sweep away everything here, this trip would be a success At that ti space, so even if he alarmed the countless Corpse Soldiers here, he could escape with ease

Before arriving on Shadowed Star, Yang Kai hadn’t dared to bring along another person as he tore space; after all, The Void was an extremely unstable and hostile environ to and traveling through it He could cope with these dangers if he was alone, but he couldn’t guarantee he could keep another person safe if he took the and comprehension of the Dao of space had i another person with him across a thousand kilometres wasn’t a proble Kai naturally was not afraid of anything

The barrier that surrounded the strange ore atop the jade pillar re Yan worked on it, but if one looked closely, they would notice that slight ripples were now occurring across its surface At the sa, so for quite an odd sight

This time, unlike with all the previous Spirit Arrays she had cracked along the way, Yang Yan’s expression was particularly sole she was soht barrier began to distortKai could tell that it was on the verge of breaking

Suddenly, Yang Yan muttered seriously, “Be careful”

As soon as she spoke these words, the barrier broke, and at the sa Kai and Yang Yan greatly burst froe ore

In an instant, the entire Secret Cave becay seeed out

Yang Yan’s face suddenly turned pale Although she had soerous, she hadn’t expected it would happen the instant the barrier broke The Fire Dragon hadn’t even reached her yet but she already felt as if she was being melted

Several defensive artifacts on her body autoer, and several layers of defensive barriers appeared in front of her

These artifacts were all Origin Grade Low-Rank and were tailor-made for her, so the protection they offered wasn’t worse than an ordinary Origin Grade High-Rank artifact

However, the Fire Dragon approaching her seey i Yan, they all evaporated and with a crisp crack, the two earring she earing shattered, along with a bracelet on her wrist while at the sa went dull

These three layers of protection were unable to stop the approach of the heat wave and had all been burnt through as if they were paper Some of her prided artifacts were even destroyed in the process
