Chapter 984 - 488: Chamber of Ouroboros

Chapter 984: Chapter 488: Chamber of Ouroboros

Entering the cargo hold, many items that look quite ancient, yet have a notable provenance, are stored here in batches.

"None of them are haphazardly discarded or damaged, these little ones still have some taste," Marin said with a hint of irony.

The boxes containing items resemble the patterns on the armor made of flowing metal used by the Weapon Race, but the contents are from Olin Island.

Rose pointed at a box and said, "Ancient statues among the ruins, the Magic power has long drained away, not sure why they’re so valued."

The Weapon Race neatly arranged some broken and weathered small statues in a metal box with built-in storage shelves. Li Ang checked them with his panel, and indeed, some seemed quite special, just like the broken guardian divine Object he’d seen in the City of the Ship’s Rudder. Although the effect was weak, it seemed they recognized its value, indicating a strong family heritage.

Another side of the box caught Li Ang’s attention.

"These are magic cores?"

"These things are scattered around Mist Hill, ah, Mist Hill is a place on Olin Island where strange events frequently occur."

Why does it sound like the site of the Ancient Tower infiltrated by Yijie Association?

"Is that place special?"

"People entering the fog tend to get lost, eventually no one on the island wanted to go there," Rose said.

"The item we’re discussing was found in a tower within it," Marin added.

To the islanders, the various peculiar abilities mastered by Yijie Association far surpass their own, the islanders couldn’t enter, but Yijie Association might, and Rose’s discovery there seems to have some story.

The group ventured deeper into the ship’s interior, and the item Rose mentioned also came into Li Ang’s view.

It resembled a large magic core, its exterior covered in mechanical structures, roughly spherical in shape, and about four to five meters in diameter, nearly touching the cargo hold’s ceiling.

Even before getting close, the Spiritual fluctuations emanating from it caught Li Ang’s attention, it must be no ordinary object, and he directly accessed its info via the panel.

[Chamber of Ouroboros]

[A special mechanism constructed using legendary-level Alchemy and magic guided Technology, storing items inside that remain unaltered throughout eternity]

[Tier: 10[Life Cycle Law]]

Legendary level?

Although having noticed the abundant and unique Spirituality, Li Ang truly didn’t expect this thing to be of such caliber.

This must certainly be something left by Karios Keckrus.

At this moment, the system’s cue sounded accompanying.

[Tip: [Path of Laws: Life Cycle Law] has begun integration, please obtain Alchemy and magic guided Technology inheritance to complete this Law]

"How did you discover it?"

"Because Rose persuaded villagers not to accept recruitment by the Empire, and the Empire’s recruitment officer angrily tried to arrest her. They were no match for her, thus, due to the conflict, the Empire kept sending reinforcements, resulting in us being chased over there."

Marin chuckled, "Luckily, those Annihilation Knights should have all been sent to the front lines, but even so, it was thrilling; there were many magic mechanisms in that tower, and if not for Rose’s prowess, we might have been caught by those mechanisms—fortunately, some had been damaged by unknown forces."

Li Ang nodded, it seems the Sub-Grade Star Soul Maiden also had her own adventure.

"We caught the Empire’s attention on Olin Island, causing everybody to get captured," Rose said.

"Perhaps not indeed."

Li Ang looked at the magic-guide Alchemy ball, "Attracting the Weapon Race over might not be entirely due to you; perhaps they came seeking this ball. Even though Olin Island has fallen from grace for hundreds of years, they might have received some record concerning this artifact."

"Is it indeed so special?" Marin turned her head, looking at Li Ang.

"Hey!" Lily punched the magic-guide Alchemy ball, producing a loud clanging sound, startling everyone around.

"What are you doing?!" Diao was more alarmed by her actions.

"I felt it was tough, so I wanted to try."

Ah, this one... Li Ang sighed while rubbing his forehead. Well, he’s already used to it due to Zoe. As the Dragon God’s witch, Lily evidently has exceptional sensing abilities, she likely discerned this object’s legendary level.

"It definitely deserves research, I’ll take the lead in locating knowledgeable professionals. Though we don’t know what it is, you perhaps made a large contribution if the Empire seeks it," Li Ang said to Rose and Marin.

With the Legendary Law, it’s certain to be deeply connected; as for integrating this Law through Alchemy and magic guided Technology inheritance, Li Ang currently has no clue.

His words brought a smile to the face of the Sub-Grade Star Soul Maiden, as though some burden binding her somewhat loosened.

Li Ang stared at the legendary-level "Chamber of Ouroboros" for a while, raised his hand, and activated the Transcendent Treasure Vault.

The structure emerging from the Dimensional Rift amazed everyone besides his three teammates, even if they’d heard of tearing open Dimensional Rifts, they hadn’t witnessed such a technique.

Since the Empire desires this thing, to avoid losing it, Li Ang decided to put it away first.

Due to the massive cargo, the construction of the Transcendent Treasure Vault took some time to gradually store it inside, and once the Dimensional Rift closed, Murein, Rose, and Marin finally withdrew their astonished gazes.

"A strong individual can transcend the limitations imposed by objective conditions, truly enlightening," Marin sighed.

Having stored the magic-guide Alchemy ball, Li Ang returned to the passenger cabin, recalling the Melting and Gathering Law inside the Apocalypse Divine Artifact.

Previously, when defeating Arunak, the system’s cue had sounded, he merely glanced over it and hadn’t closely examined it. Now, upon seeing Life Cycle Law, his encounters with Legendary Laws became frequent.

He checked the system info from that time again.

[Hint: Obtained [Path of Laws: Arcane Construction Law], acquired the special professional legacy [Arcane Array Master]]

[Arcane Construction Law]

[This path elucidates the principles of arcane magic, weaving and reconstructing Magic Power to produce extraordinary effects far beyond ordinary use, which is also one of the true powers of the world]

[Path of Laws: Legendary Artisan [Enchantment Direction], Legendary Alchemist [Profound Mysterious Creation], Legendary Mage [Venerable of Arcane Arts]]

Just like the Melting and Gathering Law, that law which was extremely powerful for an Arcane Mage could also aid Li Ang in obtaining protection and advancement directions for his profession.

[Path of Laws: Can choose a law for protection, enhancing effects based on the realm of the main controller. Also displays the development direction of the obtained law, providing advancement paths]

[Law Protection: Arcane Construction Law. Protection effect: Enhance the power of magic, gain skill [Law Enforcer]]

[Legendary Artisan [Enchantment Direction]: Requires Tier Nine Equipment Creation Skills, Tier Nine Arcane Spellcaster Profession]

[Legendary Alchemist [Profound Mysterious Creation]: Requires Tier Nine Alchemist/Array Mage/Rune Mage Profession]

[Legendary Mage [Venerable of Arcane Arts]: Requires Tier Nine Arcane Mage type Profession/Arcane Array Master/Magister/Magic Guide]

The professional advancement directions are not what particularly concern Li Ang at the moment; rather, it is the protection skill [Law Enforcer] that catches his attention, and he is also unsure of what effect the Arcane Construction Law would have when placed into the Apocalypse Device.

He noted these matters, putting them aside for now, as next he would have to "inquire" about some things from that Douding Urbian.

Should he use the Piercing Claw to directly destroy his Spirituality, or handle it more gently?

Feeling the tension between Aira Elaphia and her family on some levels, Li Ang couldn’t help but feel concerned.

He took out the Silver Heart Sword, which had not been used as a Summoner’s weapon for a long time. It still shone bright and clean, with the letters "A·A" still inconspicuous, yet upon closer inspection, clear and orderly.

"Come, it’s time for questioning."

As Li Ang approached, Urbian clenched his teeth tighter, and the attendants beside him began to panic.

After being attacked by the incomprehensible Spirit Casting Art, they realized they could not resist in the face of Li Ang’s power, which only increased their tension and helplessness.

Li Ang raised his hand, and Magic Power began to infiltrate Douding’s Spirituality.

"Mr. Li Ang, please wait a moment."

Murein came over, pointing outside the porthole.

Following the elf captain to the window, Li Ang saw a large white Flying Airship approaching this side of the Contan Armored Passenger Ship, its hovercraft bearing the Order Flame Corps emblem resembling burning flames.

"Weapon God?" Li Ang exclaimed in surprise.

His voice also left Urbian and others stunned, whispering urgently among themselves.

Murein received a signal; the Weapon God wanted to connect with the passenger ship. As it was the flagship of the Order Flame Corps and their commander in the Empire’s combat operations, there was no reason to refuse.

The passenger ship slowed its flight, hovering in the air as the boarding ladder outside the cabin extended horizontally, intertwining with the ladder on the deck of the Weapon God, each linking to the other’s ship.

And that beautiful and noble figure stepped onto a Floating Sword, flying towards them.

Aira Elaphia entered the cabin, her sharp aura making the atmosphere inside seemingly colder by a few degrees. Liluliss tilted her head curiously, examining this Haven Race blonde beauty who exuded an imposing presence.

Diao and Inanna also observed her, but their thoughts and purposes were completely different from Lily’s.

Previously, they hadn’t asked, but they noticed Li Ang’s particular interest in her.

At the moment he saw the Blondie Douding, Urbian seemed filled with air, raising his head suddenly, puffing out his chest, his face and neck turning red, staring straight at her.

However, as the young girl got closer, his momentum gradually weakened.

"Sis, sister..."

"Urbian, you’re really useless. Uniting with some elders with the Empire, only to end up disgracefully tied here."

Hmm? Li Ang’s brows furrowed suddenly.

Aira Elaphia? What did she say?

"I, I just... Hah! You don’t go prepare for the Martial Extreme Trial, wandering around the Ignis Sky Realm? Practice your muscles more, or else your weak arms won’t be able to lift a sword, humiliating the name of the Weapon Race again."

"That’s not something you need to worry about. First, enjoy your imprisonment."

Aira Elaphia gestured with her hand, and the Order Knights behind her stepped forward, beginning to take over the cabin and engaging in conversation with Captain Murein.

Douding pointed to the corner and flew there first, with Li Ang striding quickly to follow.

When they had distanced themselves from others, only within earshot of Diao and the other three, Li Ang immediately pressed his voice angrily, "Farlonio, what kind of prank are you pulling?"

"Oh my, Mr. Li Ang really understands Aifei well; I can’t trick you. Could you tell me how you found out?"

"Aira Elaphia" displayed a merchant’s sly smile, completely out of character and extreme incongruity.

"There were no small fry in your words, but rather your habitual expressions, so what’s hard about that." Li Ang was about to roll his eyes, "Stop speaking with her face."

"I can’t help it, I’m just trying to assist her, after all, she’s really in some deep trouble."

Li Ang frowned, "Tell me about it."
