The silver mirror appeared quite ordinary, imprisoned within the Two-dimensional World, where even weapons that were Twelve-Star Strange Treasures were subject to suppression.

They could only display an insignificant trace of spirituality.

Lin Yuan’s bronze Compass was like this, the protective inner armor of Tuoba Ancient God was the same, and Pei Shen’s pitch-black iron staff was no exception.

Yet this silver mirror… after careful consideration, Lin Yuan discovered the vast spatial fluctuations it contained internally.

“Space?”

Lin Yuan’s expression became grave; the ability to contain such a degree of spatial fluctuations within this Two-dimensional World – what would happen if it were in the Main Universe?

...

“This mirror is extraordinary.”

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

“But what is the use of this mirror?”

Lin Yuan had tried various methods for a good part of the day, blood among others, but still hadn’t discovered anything.

“Tuoba Ancient God… probably only got this mirror not long before…” Lin Yuan speculated in his mind.

He had pursued Tuoba Ancient God for so long, and the latter had desperately fled, never utilizing the mirror throughout.

From this, one could infer that Tuoba Ancient God didn’t know the capabilities of the mirror; otherwise, in a life-or-death situation, any means would be used if it could save one’s life.

“Take it slow.”

“Even if I can’t figure it out here.”

“Once I take it out, I’ll eventually understand.”

The powers of the silver mirror were restrained within the Two-dimensional World, and its many marvels could not be revealed.

As long as Lin Yuan could take it out, all problems would naturally be solved.

Even if Lin Yuan couldn’t understand it, he could consult with The Spirit of the Xuanhuang Secret Realm, as well as the Stone Statue Shen Ji in the Demon Jade Space.

With this thought, Lin Yuan solemnly stored away the silver mirror and then took out the inner armor of Tuoba Ancient God.

This inner armor was extremely lightweight; when Lin Yuan wore it, he faintly felt his limbs and torso protected by a certain power.

Any attack that bombarded Lin Yuan’s body would be blocked by the inner armor itself, and even the residual force that infiltrated was dispersed and diluted.

“No wonder Tuoba Ancient God was so difficult to kill.” A smile appeared on Lin Yuan’s face.

Wearing this inner armor virtually bolstered his defensive capability to its maximum.

“If I were to take this inner armor out into the outside world, I wonder what kind of might it would possess,” Lin Yuan’s eyes sparkled with vigor.

Among all types of weapons and equipment, defensive gear is much more valuable than offensive gear; after all, survival is always the top priority no matter the circumstance.

“The only drawback is that the head is not within the protected range,” Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.

The coverage of the inner armor only extended to the limbs and torso, but the head? Unless matched with the corresponding helmet, it might as well be exposed.

And in this Two-dimensional World, there was no such thing as regenerating from a beheading; once the head was exploded, even the strong perished.

Of course, the head, being a vital point, is something that every powerhouse amongst the Myriad Tribes would surely guard well; Tuoba Ancient God had protected his head thoroughly when fleeing from Lin Yuan’s pursuit.

Moreover, while the head is indeed a critical point, the skull is also the hardest bone in the body; the Myriad Tribes’ Powerhouses pay extra attention to the tempering of their bones during Body Refinement.

To directly shatter the skull of the head, at least someone of the same level would find it very difficult to accomplish.

“Penetrative power is unavoidable though,” Lin Yuan thought to himself. When he killed Tuoba Ancient God, it was by relying on blows that penetrated into the body, before finally erupting.

“This silver mirror could act as a Heart Protection Mirror.”

Lin Yuan took out the mirror and placed it against his chest.

Although he hadn’t figured out the use of the silver mirror, the mirror itself was incredibly hard and impossible to destroy, a commonality shared by all ‘Rare Treasures’ in this Two-dimensional World.

With the silver mirror as a secondary defense, at least Lin Yuan’s cardiac protection was significantly stronger than other areas.

With the results of Lin Yuan’s cultivation of the ‘Evergreen’ technique, as long as it wasn’t the heart, head, or other fatal organs, even if other organs were damaged, they would be able to recover.

“Iron staff.”

After equipping the inner armor and the Heart Protection Mirror, Lin Yuan turned his attention to the pitch-black iron staff.

The pitch-black iron staff boasted a simple ability: strength. The same blow, once amplified by the pitch-black iron staff, would see its might skyrocket two to three times.

One might not think much of this amplification, but this was the Two-dimensional World, where enhancing one’s strength was incredibly arduous. An amplification of two to three times was enough to elevate a powerhouse amongst the Myriad Tribes’ several levels.

“It’s just too big, too conspicuous,” Lin Yuan remarked as he caressed the pitch-black iron staff.

Compared to the ‘compactness’ of the inner armor and the silver mirror, the pitch-black iron staff couldn’t stay hidden; its nearly two-meter length was exceedingly conspicuous wherever it was placed.

This was also due to the inability of any of the exotic treasures within this Two-dimensional World to be refined. Otherwise, given the properties of Exotic Treasures, variable size at will would be the most basic capability.

“Its size doesn’t really matter,” Lin Yuan thought after consideration; after all, the staff offered the most direct enhancement to his strength.

What about the inner armor? Unless faced with an absolute crisis, Lin Yuan didn’t think he would need to use it.

The inner armor was meant to boost Lin Yuan’s survivability, but in this world, there were very, very few who could force Lin Yuan to retreat for the sake of his life.

Furthermore, as time passed, Lin Yuan’s rate of increasing strength grew ever faster, and such powerful adversaries would quickly diminish.

…

“This move has been quite profitable,” Lin Yuan concluded as he summarized the gains of this endeavor.

First and foremost was avenging a grudge, causing Tuoba Ancient God to lose a part of his Spirit Will.

Tuoba Ancient God was already an Eleventh Rank Fifth Tier special being, with a minuscule chance of forcibly breaking through to the Ultimate level. Now, with a portion of his Spirit Will gone,

one could say that, barring any surprises, Tuoba Ancient God had completely cut off any opportunity to reach Ultimate.
