Chapter 272 - 272: Weapon Spirit!
“Ha, how stupid.”
Is he an idiot?”
“If the white lightning ball was so easy to crack, aren’t we idiots?”
A few Dark Energy-level experts sneered and did not take the matter seriously.
After all, Wang Ye was not the first human to be killed by the white lightning.
Before they could finish their sentences.
Swoosh!
Wang Ye instantly reformed from his severed left arm. Not only did he return to his original form, but there was no sign of injury at all.
His strange Resurrection ability made the few Dark Energy-level experts who had been mocking him hang their mouths in shock.
More Dark Energy-level experts gasped, and their attention was once again focused on Wang Ye.
Windward Team and the blue-eyed youth were already used to it.
Chi!
Wang Ye severed his left arm again and walked forward. He continued to probe.
It was obvious that the high-dimensional cube would absorb energy. It did not discriminate, be it ability or combat energy.
He tested it again, and it was indeed the case.
But it was far from enough.
“Lend me a slave,” Wang Ye said to Yi Nai’er.
Yi Nai’er hummed softly. She then ordered a Dark Energy-level 9 slave to step forward and release a large amount of combat energy.
The energy was abnormally huge, but it was still like a stone sinking into the ocean. There was no reaction.
Yi Nai’er arranged for three Dark Energy-level level slaves to input energy into the cube one after another.
“That’s enough. What it wants might not be combat energy or ability.” Wang Ye stopped Yi Nai’er from sending the next wave of slaves. “If it were so, the energy required would be unimaginably huge.”
“Then what does it need?” Yi Nai’er asked.
“If you are the master of the black realm or the weapon spirit, what would you need?” Wang Ye asked.
Treasures? Fresh blood? Sacrifice?
Many possibilities appeared in Yi Nai’er’s mind, but she found that the possibility of either was not high.
For example, the treasures they had were no different from trash to the black realm’s master.
“There are two possibilities.” Wang Ye’s gaze swept across the gathered crowd. “One is the dark substance core of the black realm’s unique life form, the dark beast. There are dark beast symbols in seven passages, so it’s obvious.”
“The second is the dark crystals that can be seen everywhere in the black realm. Although they are small, they have a higher grade of energy. Moreover, the dark crystals might be extremely useful in maintaining the stability of the black realm.”
Everyone was deep in thought. Some started discussing among themselves.
Wang Ye observed their reactions and didn’t continue.
“Why are you telling us?” A muscular man wearing heavy armor asked. His face was chiseled and his aura was extremely strong.
“Because this requires everyone’s help.” Wang Ye spread his hands. “I’m just a cosmic-level kid. I’m not strong enough nor do I have money. I can’t do anything, but I can be your pathfinder.”
When it was time to lay low, he would. No one would think that a cosmic-level warrior like him could pose any threat. Moreover, both dark substance and dark crystals were very expensive!
“Here, try it.” The heavily armored man was very frank. He took out a dark substance core of the dark beast and threw it over.
“Thanks.” Wang Ye reached out to take it.
10,000 cosmic dollars worth of pure dark substance, yet the other party didn’t even blink.
“I have one here too.” A gentle voice sounded. A graceful and voluptuous woman with purple eyeshadow also threw a dark substance core over.
“Thanks.” Wang Ye laughed.
This big sister was so voluptuous! He would remember her.
“I haven’t met any dark beasts, but I have some dark crystal fragments.” Yi Nai’er whispered beside him.
“We’ll talk about it later. Let me try it first.” Wang Ye quickly began to try.
He placed the dark substance core on the high-dimensional cube. Before he could put it in, a huge suction force appeared in an instant, swallowing the dark substance core like a monster.
Wang Ye waited for a while, but nothing changed.
He then threw in another dark substance core, but still, nothing happened.
Many of the surrounding people revealed looks of disappointment.
“Dark crystal.” Wang Ye looked at Yi Nai’er.
He did not have such a strong appeal and influence.
The dark substance cores had failed, leaving only the dark crystals.
Yi Nai’er didn’t have many dark crystals. She only had a dozen of fragments worth around 1500 cosmic dollars, which were probably picked up by the slaves on the way.
Regardless of energy or value, it was incomparable to the dark beasts’ dark substance cores.
But… It felt completely different!
Wang Ye didn’t feel anything when he threw in the first fragment, but after throwing in the second and third fragments, he started to feel something.
This was because the feedback from the high-dimensional cube was completely different from before.
For the previous items, the cube had only been absorbing them. In contrast, it had a real reaction when given dark crystals!
All ten fragments were thrown in, but still, no splashes were produced.
Yet this time, he was very sure.
“It needs dark crystals, but I don’t have enough,” Wang Ye said to everyone.
Everyone looked at each other. There was some hesitation, but more of it was distrust.
Some were really poor too.
Small dark crystal fragments were worth around 100 cosmic dollars, while the big ones were worth over 1,000 cosmic dollars.
To an advanced Dark Energy-level expert, they might not be a big deal, but to a beginner Dark Energy-level expert, they were very valuable.
“Are you sure?” The heavily armored man was the first to speak.
“More than ninety percent.” Wang Ye was very determined.
“Alright.” The heavily armored man was very decisive.
He took out all the dark crystals he had and handed them to Wang Ye.
Compared to Yi Nai’er, he had slightly more, roughly worth 3000 cosmic dollars.
Wang Ye gave all the dark crystals to the high-dimensional cube, and every time, he could feel its desire.
It was still far from enough.
“How much more do you need?” The heavily armored man asked.
“I’m not sure.” Wang Ye shook his head and stared at the small cube. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. “If you think of it as a dark crystal, it has a side length of about ten centimeters. It’s equivalent to a dark crystal of 1000 cubic centimeters. That’s one-thousandth of a square dark crystal.”
Dark crystals worth about 100,000 cosmic dollars!
Wang Ye frowned.
That was a lot.
Let alone 100,000 cosmic dollars, he couldn’t even gather 10,000 cosmic dollars worth of dark crystals.
No one was stupid. Why would they just throw in real money for nothing foreseeable?
“Who has dark crystals? I’ll buy them at 10% higher than the market price!” Yi Nai’er was very straightforward. She trusted Wang Ye more than anyone else.
Wang Ye gave her a grateful look and Yi Nai’er smiled.
The Cosmic Bank card could be used for face-to-face transactions and there was no need for the internet. Yi Nai’er completed the transactions swiftly and soon collected tens of thousands of dark crystals.
“We’re allies. You don’t have to give me money.” Flayat directly gave the dark crystals to Wang Ye.
“You have to work hard this time, little brother.” The voluptuous woman, who was wearing a battle suit that was not made of very good material and was a little deformed at her chest, smiled at Wang Ye. Her every move exuded the charm of a mature woman.
“Here, Wang Ye.” Nante also handed over some dark crystals.
“Keep yours.” Wang Ye said.
It’s not mine. Yu Min gave them to me.” Nante sent a voice transmission.
Wang Ye was surprised.
Looking into the distance, Yu Min seemed to have noticed his gaze and turned around with a huff.
The collection was complete.
“This is enough.” Wang Ye counted them. The value of the dark crystals was around 120,000 to 130,000.
He continued to put the dark crystal fragments into the cube.
Pieces of dark crystal fragments were absorbed.
This time, Wang Ye was very certain.
The others couldn’t sense it, but he could!
Swoosh!
Suddenly, the high-dimensional cube lit up.
The surroundings were in an uproar.
A small part of the originally transparent and bright high-dimensional cube had turned into the dark crystal’s color at the bottom.
Although it was only a small area, it was extremely eye-catching in contrast to the dense white lightning.
The eyes of the black-armored man and the voluptuous woman lit up.
Wang Ye stopped.
Looking at the small cube in front of him, his gaze fell on the other three small cubes. He turned around and said to Yi Nai’er, “Continue collecting.”
“Yes.” Yi Nai’er understood immediately.
She left the crowd and walked toward the Dark Energy-level experts who were observing the situation outside the ten passages.
20%!
30%!
50%!
When half of the cube turned dark, the number of Dark Energy-level experts gathered around had doubled.
Pairs of eyes flickered with different emotions. Everyone knew that the secret of the ball of white lightning would soon be solved.
“I can feel killing intent.” Wang Ye stopped and smiled.
“Continue. No one will dare to touch you.” The black-armored man walked out.
His steps were steady like a mountain, like a set of heavy armor on Wang Ye. It was very reliable.
Clang!
A thick layer of shield appeared around Wang Ye’s body, containing intense dark energy.
The voluptuous woman walked out gracefully. Her crystal clear eyes swept across the crowd with a faint smile, instantly causing some of the Dark Energy-level experts with ulterior motives to shrink back.
“Thank you.” Wang Ye continued to throw in the dark crystal fragments.
The cube gradually became full, forming a sharp contrast with the other three cubes.
80%.
90%.
100%!
Swoosh!
The moment the cube was filled, the corner where it was originally at dimmed.
Wang Ye hummed in surprise as he saw a narrow path appear in front of him, its surroundings covered in white lightning and huge energy.
It was different from the ten passages outside. It was more like a small path from the outside of the courtyard to the inside.
Thud.
Wang Ye stepped in.
The space changed instantly, and his figure disappeared.
The white lightning emitted a terrifying sizzling sound as if it could even shatter space.
The path that was originally opened closed again, and the dim high-dimensional cube appeared again.
However, different from the previous transparent luster, it was already full.
“Hurry up! Collect dark crystals!” A Dark Energy-level expert instantly reacted.
The onlookers weren’t stupid. Wang Ye had already discovered a feasible method. There were still three high-dimensional cubes outside the ball of white lightning!
In other words, there were three more chances!
In an instant, the core area was in chaos.
Inside the ball of white lightning, Wang Ye walked on a strange and motley path. Every step he took seemed to distort space.
That being said, one would not become lost because there was only one path.
At the end of the path was a door flashing with white lightning.
Wang Ye passed through it and a vast expanse of white appeared before him.
The space was folded, everchanging. It was blurry and shocking.
At the outermost layer, endless white lightning rumbled with deafening sounds and terrifying power.
Wang Ye looked around.
Where was this place?
From the white lightning’s position, it was as if he had walked into the house from outside.
“Welcome to my world, child.” The familiar voice sounded again.
It was the voice that had appeared in his mind when he had just stepped into the core area.
However, compared to that time, there was an obvious change in both the speed and tone of speech.
Swoosh!
In front of him, white lightning gathered and formed.
Wang Ye’s eyes were bright.
The weapon spirit!
