Chapter 1259 - 1259 1258 The Eye

Chapter 1259: Chapter 1258: [The Eye] Chapter 1259: Chapter 1258: [The Eye] [Corpse Coffin] formed in a flash.

The silver needle embedded in the back of Sir Yan’s head immediately disengaged and was retracted behind the curtain.

The black veins spreading across the entire body gradually faded away.

Although the process did not exceed five minutes, Sir Yan’s condition was still quite dire… A significant amount of flesh was detaching from the body, a clear sign of severe bodily overuse.

Such a commotion in Taiji Palace immediately drew large numbers of palace personnel, naturally including the [Imperial Physician].

“Quickly take Sir Yan to Corpse Palace for treatment. If necessary, use the highest grade of ‘Corpse oil’ to ensure his survival without leaving any sequelae.

Everyone else, leave the Taiji Palace immediately; the matter here has been resolved. I have important matters to discuss with Envoy Han.”

“Yes!”

All the senior officers glanced at this unfamiliar ‘envoy’, exchanging glances, but they could only comply with the order and rapidly depart.

As Sir Yan was taken away,

only Han Dong, the visitor, remained in Taiji Palace.

Of course, Chen Li, the containee, was there too. She stood with her back against the corner of a wall, falling into a self-imposed isolation due to her lack of contribution in the battle, aggressively hacking at the golden brick walls of Taiji Palace.

“Chen Li, come back. This time’s opponent is a Formal Employee.

Her inherent nature is something we’ve never seen before, and even mythic fighters like the Tomb Lord can’t find a way to kill her directly, only able to slowly eradicate her through domain confinement.”

“I want to try another trial…”

“Don’t. You are already strong enough.

Your power will be needed for the upcoming [London Game]… You won’t encounter such difficult-to-kill opponents then; there will surely be a chance for you to shine, so come back.”

“Tomb Lord, how should we deal with this thing?” Han Dong asked, patting the Corpse Coffin in front of him.

“The coffin is brimming with high concentrations of Deadly Gas; in no more than half a day, she will be utterly obliterated… I advise you to dismiss the thought of researching it.

Judging from her ability to influence the Brocade Robe Guards, even a sliver of her essence escaping could potentially recover slowly using the possessed body’s flesh, and we mustn’t give her that chance.”

“Haha, just asking…”

Naturally, Han Dong was interested in studying such a peculiar life-form.

Considering that Ubo Refi hadn’t completely perished, Han Dong quickly brought up an important matter:

“Tomb Lord, I have already gone to the chain area yesterday and have a basic understanding of the situation there.

I am confident I can sever the chains within a week, how about your progress, Tomb Lord? Can you synchronize with the world segmentation timing?”

“Just one week? That’s perfect!

Having entirely absorbed the White Liquid you brought back, I have returned to my peak condition. Now is the optimal time for world segmentation and promotion; the faster, the better.

If you can truly achieve this, I will fulfill my promise and grant you a portion of world territory.”

Han Dong cautiously asked:

“Is it possible to separate Ubo Refi’s eyeball, the Whirlpool-shaped one, and merge it with mine? It would help me sever the chains and shorten the whole process to within three days.”

After a moment of silence, the Tomb Lord responded:

“… Fine, but you must bring the coffin inside, and no accidents are permitted.

If such a calamity were to escape, it would evolve into a great calamity for both you and me.”

He thought he had posed a difficult problem to Han Dong, as no one in the Corpse Country could physically move the coffin.

However, a flicker of starlight ensued.

Han Dong touched the coffin lid and directly transported the coffin inside the curtain.

Tomb Lord’s eyes displayed a slight change at this ability, “You escaped the Barrier Seal earlier using the same trick, didn’t you… I’ve seen some teleportation spells before, but none as wondrous as yours. Who created this system?”

“It is from a being who far surpasses you and me, a higher entity.”

“Exists in your world?”

“Yes… and there are many others like him, known as [Old Kings]. If Tomb Lord has a chance in the future, you could come and visit; I will personally host you.”

“I never expected such a powerful world to exist; compared to it, I am truly insignificant.

If I have the chance, I will come here in the future.

Alright, I’ll try to peel off the Eye, and you need to be careful… if any spirit-like substance leaks, you must restrain it immediately.”

“Okay.”

Tomb Lord gently placed his right hand, filled with silver needles, on the coffin lid.

He did this to manipulate the Deadly Gas inside the coffin to search for Ubo Refi’s true body.

The entire process lasted a full half-hour.

Even Tomb Lord consumed a considerable amount of physical strength throughout the process, only to touch upon a whirlpool-shaped substance deep within the true body.

When he tried to use an arm constructed of Deadly Gas to forcibly pull out this whirlpool from Ubo Refi’s true body, the whirlpool transformed into an eyeball automatically.

To ensure that Ubo Refi wouldn’t take the chance to escape,

Tomb Lord separated some material from the Corpse Coffin to create a delicately crafted coffin box for containing the eyeball.

Before handing it over to Han Dong, he confirmed again: “Can you finish within three days?”

“I can… but I will still need to continue using the Death Jade, and that may require a portion of the troops.”

“As long as it doesn’t cause too severe losses, you can use them as you wish.”

“Thank you, Tomb Lord!”

When Han Dong received the coffin box, his pupils flickered with an excitement he couldn’t restrain.

Since the Deadly Gas might be eroding the Eye, dealing with it urgently was the priority.

“Han Dong, I leave the chain matter to you.”

“You can count on me.”

After bidding a hurried farewell to Tomb Lord, he pretended to go handle matters at the chain area… In fact, [three days] was also a fabricate by Han Dong.

According to his observations, unlocking the chains could be done at any time, and it would only take one day as long as the conditions were right.

As a Node holder, Han Dong had quite a convenience in handling world-rules related matters.

Following the chains once again to the barracks, he then ventured alone into the Demon Region.

Arriving at the depths of the Demon Cave where ‘Frozen Bone’ was once captured.

The cave was still covered with a thick layer of ice, devoid of any living creatures’ interference, utterly quiet, enabling Han Dong to fully focus on the Eye.

First, he drew Void Marks inside the cave to ensure that when releasing the Eye, there would be no chance for Ubo Refi to escape.

“Next, I’ll first thoroughly cleanse the Eye to confirm its safety before bringing it into the brain laboratory for analysis.”

He cautiously opened the coffin box.

Only a stream of Deadly Gas seeped out, and the Demon Eye didn’t glimpse any spirit-like substance, which eased Han Dong a bit.

Upon fully opening it, a bizarre yet perfect Eye was revealed.

“So this is the ‘credential’ Ubo Refi used to enter the Black Tower?”

An Eye without any nerve endings was placed inside the coffin box.

No matter from which angle one looked at the Eye, a complete Vortex pupil could always be seen.

The Eye itself also possessed a repellent force, ensuring that the Deadly Gas would not harm it… of course, only until the energy was exhausted.

“This Eye contains no Ghost Substance, and becomes independent once separated, capable of surviving on its own for quite a long time.

It must have been peeled off from a special Out of control from the Black Tower, or even a fugitive of the Black Tower, then fitted onto itself.

Just like I am equipped with the Clown’s Body Trunk.”

Confirming there was no connection between the Eye and Ubo Refi,

Han Dong took it back to the brain laboratory to analyze with the scanner… This time, the analysis went on for a full hour, and the results left Han Dong stunned for a long while.
