Lu Yuan took a short break, regained some strength, and eagerly stood up from the ground.
Then, with a wave of his large hand, he grabbed the few treasures in front of him and examined them closely.
However, due to forcibly reversing space-time,
several of the treasures had fine cracks, their brilliance dimmed and their power significantly weakened.
By gently touching them with his hand, they shattered into countless pieces, dispersing into the air.
In the end, out of a dozen treasures, only three remained!
"These treasures shattered?"
After the shock, Lu Yuan's face showed a look of heartache.
He had paid a huge price to forcibly retrieve them from the River of Time!
And now they just shattered like that?
Doesn't that mean all his efforts and sacrifices were in vain?
"Lu Yuan, there's no need to feel heartache."
The Destiny Golden Dragon turned into the size of a loach, covered in dust, and flew out from a deep pit in the ground.
"Forcibly reversing space-time is an act against the heavens, going against the great momentum of the world. It's normal for these treasures to shatter under the backlash of the power of rules."
"Moreover, in other words, only those treasures that can withstand the power of rules and remain intact are truly peerless treasures!"
"Aren't there still three treasures left? Let me see what their origins are."
The Destiny Golden Dragon's eyes gleamed as it flew before Lu Yuan, carefully examining the remaining three treasures.
"Peerless treasures?"
Hearing this, Lu Yuan pondered for a moment and realized the Destiny Golden Dragon was right.
Genuine gold stands the test of fire.
Since these three treasures could be preserved under the suppression of the power of rules, their value goes without saying.
With this thought,
Lu Yuan immediately looked at the three treasures.
He saw not far ahead,
a token, a small tower, and a stone pearl silently floating in mid-air.
However, these three treasures appeared gray and dull, with no luster or divine brilliance, seemingly no different from stones by the roadside.
The Destiny Golden Dragon continued to wander between the three treasures.
Sometimes it flicked the token with a finger, other times it bit the small tower with its teeth, and sometimes it lay on the stone pearl, closely observing the law patterns on its surface.
Its emotions fluctuated, occasionally bursting into laughter, while other times it frowned in deep thought.
Finally, as if realizing something, it froze like a sculpture, its body stiff and unresponsive, lost in thought.
"Senior, did you recognize the origins of these three treasures?"
Seeing the Destiny Golden Dragon's shocked expression, Lu Yuan urgently asked.
But no matter how he queried,
the Destiny Golden Dragon continued to stare blankly ahead, seemingly deaf to Lu Yuan's words.
Until a long while later,
it let out a long sigh, shook its head, and murmured to itself.
"Eternal and indestructible, capable of absolving all the sins of the world, this is the legendary Buddha Lord's relic!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan's gaze swept over the three treasures, finally fixing on the egg-sized stone pearl.
This stone pearl was very rough, with an uneven surface, as if ground by the most primitive means.
Although it appeared no different from a stone, Lu Yuan vaguely sensed a thread of danger from it.
Instinct told him.
It's best not to rashly touch this stone pearl, or it might lead to unpredictable consequences!
"This stone pearl is the Buddha Lord's relic?"
Though he didn't know who the Buddha Lord was that the Destiny Golden Dragon referred to, seeing its incredibly shocked demeanor,
it was easy to guess that this Buddha Lord must have a monumental legacy!
"To think the Buddha Lord, revered by gods and Buddhas across the heavens, has also fallen."
"But it's no wonder; despite his strength, his vow was too grand, wanting to absolve the world of all darkness single-handedly. How could that be easy?"
The Destiny Golden Dragon shook its head, letting out a helpless sigh.
Lu Yuan was taken aback.
The Dark Origin is immortal, and even the deities across the heavens were powerless against it.
Yet, this Buddha Lord dared to vow to absolve all worldly darkness. What kind of confidence and courage is that?
"Senior, what kind of transcendent being was the Buddha Lord?"
Lu Yuan curiously asked.
But the Destiny Golden Dragon avoided the topic, merely opening its mouth to swallow the stone pearl whole.
"This relic is tainted with great cause and effect, and it's connected to the Buddhist Sect. It's not something you can bear right now, so I'll hold onto it for a while."
Lu Yuan watched, his eyelid twitching, wanting to speak but eventually saying nothing.
The Destiny Golden Dragon glanced at him, clearly guessing his thoughts, and immediately said with some annoyance.
"I'm thinking of you, kid. Don't take advantage and complain. You know very well what those bald men from the Buddhist Sect are like."
"If they find out you have the Buddha Lord's relic, you won't find peace for the rest of your life."
"Moreover, the Buddha Lord has been gone for many years, and much of the relic's origin has dissipated. Even if I give it to you, it wouldn't be of much use."
"But if I have it, it might even nurture a True Dragon Pearl."
"A True Dragon Pearl?"
Lu Yuan's expression changed, looking at the Destiny Golden Dragon with some surprise.
It's well known.
Many powerful demon beasts have treasures like demon pills or demon cores within them.
And the True Dragon Pearl mentioned by the Destiny Golden Dragon is a supreme treasure, condensed from all the origins of an Ancient True Dragon as it nears the end of its life, possessing unparalleled power.
But the probability of condensing a True Dragon Pearl is extremely low. Even among ten thousand pure-blood True Dragons, a dragon pearl might not be formed.
Precisely because of this.
Throughout all the heavens and myriad realms, the True Dragon Pearl is an encounter beyond hope.
Especially for the pure-blood Dragon Race, its value is as precious as a Divine Format.
If one were to emerge, it would undoubtedly spark a frenzy among all Dragon Race powerhouses across the heavens and myriad realms!
Throughout history,
each appearance of a True Dragon Pearl has been a catastrophic battle of infighting for the Dragon Race!
However, the Destiny Golden Dragon, condensed from the Power of Fortune, isn't a pure-blood True Dragon, yet it can also nurture a True Dragon Pearl?
"The Power of Fortune is infinitely useful. As long as the fortune is strong enough, nurturing a True Dragon Pearl is child's play. Even transforming into a Divine Dragon of Ten Thousand Realms isn't out of the question."
As if guessing what was on Lu Yuan's mind, the Destiny Golden Dragon said proudly.
"I see."
Lu Yuan nodded, a trace of understanding flashing in his eyes.
"Moreover, while this Buddha Lord's relic isn't meant for you, you can certainly use this Demon Suppression Tower and this God-Demon Order."
The Destiny Golden Dragon waved its hand, and the small tower and token landed in Lu Yuan's hands.
Lu Yuan took the small tower, and his first impression was its weight!
So heavy!
Though the tower only appeared as large as a pinky finger, its weight was more exaggerated than ten thousand Ancient Divine Mountains.
Even with Lu Yuan's current power, he had to exert all his strength to barely hold it.
Then he examined it closely, finding the tower divided into nine layers, entirely dark cyan, as if crafted from some rare divine material.
Moreover, the tower's body was inscribed with complex Dao Patterns, which could block Lu Yuan's divine thought!
"What a treasure!"
Instead of being angry, Lu Yuan was delighted, and he was enamored with the small tower.
Though he couldn't identify the origin of the tower.
Just based on its ability to block divine thought, it was obvious that this was an invaluable peerless treasure!
"At the start of the Dark Invasion, life across all heavens and myriad realms was devastated, and countless world planes fell sequentially."
"To deal with the rampant Dark Origin, nine Supreme Dominators and the deities across the heavens joined forces, using countless resources and divine power to create this tower, intending to use it to eternally suppress the darkness."
"Unfortunately, although the tower was powerful, the Dark Origin is immortal and can corrupt everything in the world."
"The tower too was corrupted by the Dark Origin, losing most of its power, and eventually becoming a damaged divine artifact."
"Otherwise, at the peak state of the Demon Suppression Tower, even the deities across the heavens would fight fiercely for it!"
The Destiny Golden Dragon shook its head, speaking with some regret.
