Chapter 408 234: The Great Outburst of Cosmic Gemstones

At the same time, Zorn took a moment to carefully examine the "Ancient God senior" from the Jade Realm, who was imprisoned and being smelted by the Cosmic Altar.

All who were imprisoned by the Cosmic Altar were sacrifices.

They were now being smelted, becoming Zorn's nourishment.

Having done all this, Zorn began to recuperate under the Tree of Calamity Magic Ring.

Injuries to an Ancient God Sequence often required a significant amount of time to heal.

Zorn, who had become an Ancient God, was no different.

It took a full sixteen years.

Only then did Zorn fully recover from his injuries, reaching a perfect state.

Once he had recovered, Zorn immediately integrated the Inheritance Insect Armor into his Ancient Sequence.

He began to focus all his power on catalyzing his resurrection ability.

Time flew by as Zorn focused on this process of absorption.

Although he was in seclusion, focused on absorption, Zorn still maintained his Perception of the outside world.

For instance, there was the ever-surging Mythical Wave.

Ancient Gods had already begun fighting to the death in this tide that was sweeping across the Star Realm Cosmic.

In addition, the Ancient Time Essence erupting from the Cosmic Fissure was growing increasingly concentrated.

Zorn was naturally very pleased with this.

The same, however, could not be said for the other Ancient Gods.

Whether it was the Ancient Gods stationed in the Secret Wilderness or the three great Ancient Gods of the Calamity Court Realm, they were all rather speechless as they watched the dense Cosmic Essence spewing from the Cosmic Fissure.

If they hadn't all known that something good would emerge from this Cosmic Fissure, they might not have been willing to stand guard here.

However, the Cosmic Gemstone that Zorn had expected to erupt soon was long overdue.

Before he knew it, another sixty-plus years had flown by.

...

[Ancient Time Evil God]

Level: Level 33 (66%)

Tarktos' Hand (Ancient God Forbidden Technique): Level 18 (79%)

Rift: Ancient God's Curtain Robe (Ancient God Curse): Level 18 (8%)

Space-Time Disaster Thunder Echo (Ancient God Curse): Level 18 (6%)

Seven Phases·Star Trace·Eating Phase Worm Curse (Ancient God Curse): Level 19 (16%)

Sea of Ultimate Destiny: Level 19 (12%).

Calamity Rune Magic Ring: 7785.

Inside his Divine Kingdom, Zorn reviewed the results of his decades of secluded cultivation.

Zorn's Level had now reached Level 33, and he was not far from Level 34.

At the same time, his Insect King Curse and Sea of Ultimate Destiny had both been raised to Level 19.

With this Level, combined with such a high-level Ancient God Curse, Zorn would have the means to fight back even against a top-tier Ancient God.

Over the past few decades, his Divine Kingdom and the Tree of the Magic Ring had completely absorbed the two portions of the Insect Mother's Exuviae.

The Divine Kingdom Crystal Wall and the Tree of the Magic Ring were both suffused with a faint, armor-like pattern woven from starlight, creating a magnificent and beautiful sight.

But what satisfied Zorn the most was his Resurrection Ability, which had completed its transformation early on.

Ancient Resurrection: Divine Nest Seed: Construct Resurrection Seeds within the Divine Nest (9/9).

This powerful Resurrection method was derived from an ancient Talent.

These nine Resurrections were not simple revivals; they were perfect Resurrections.

Many Ancient Gods possessed a Resurrection Ability as well.

However, for the vast majority of these abilities, the first few uses were "strong resurrections."

A "strong resurrection" required the consumption of additional resources to maintain one's original strength.

Most subsequent revivals would be "weak resurrections."

In a "weak resurrection," one's strength was greatly diminished upon revival.

The Divine Nest Seed, however, granted Zorn nine perfect resurrections.

Upon Death, he could be resurrected perfectly and instantly.

Even after all nine perfect resurrections were used up, Zorn could still consume the resources stockpiled in his Divine Kingdom to perform several "strong resurrections."

After that would come the "weak resurrections."

The "weak resurrection" state, however, had no limit on its uses.

However, once an Ancient God entered a "weak resurrection" state, they would essentially be corpse-camped. At that point, it was no different from being truly dead.

Zorn contemplated his current Level, his Divine Kingdom, the Tree of the Magic Ring, and the powerful new resurrection method he had mastered.

He narrowed his eyes, his perception quietly extending across the entire Star Dust Plateau.

Within the ever-surging Mythical Wave, the Star Dust Plateau was faintly trembling.

Zorn knew that the Cosmic Gemstones were about to appear.

He had stopped his cultivation precisely to deal with this wave of Cosmic Gemstones.

Every hundred years, three to six Cosmic Gemstones would randomly erupt from the twelve Cosmic Fissures.

They would continue to erupt nonstop during the period between the thousand-year wave and the three-thousand-year wave.

This would cause numerous factions to fight endlessly over the Cosmic Gemstones.

Thus, the tide of war would be pushed to an even higher stage.

This time, however, the situation was somewhat different.

Of the twelve Cosmic Fissures, seven were on the outside—three were handed over to the Secret Wilderness, and four were in the hands of the Calamity Court.

Among them, the one near the Disaster Court Magic Ring Tree was also guarded by Zorn.

Including the five that Zorn controlled in secret, he actually held a total of six Cosmic Fissures.

He controlled fully half of the Cosmic Fissures.

With each wave of Cosmic Gemstone eruptions, as long as his luck wasn't too bad, he could obtain at least one. If he was lucky, it was even possible to get three or four.

By now, the intense eruption of Ancient Essence from the Cosmic Fissures had been discovered by the various stationed Ancient Gods.

The other three Ancient Gods of the Calamity Court had also entered the Cosmic Magic Net.

"Zorn, are the Cosmic Gemstones about to appear?"

Antisum asked cautiously, his gaze fixed on the strangely surging Cosmic Fissure.

"It looks that way."

Zorn replied in a deep voice.

"Seniors, if the Cosmic Gemstones appear, I will use the Starry Sky Ancient Insect Path to suppress the resulting fluctuations. I need you to seize the Cosmic Gemstones as quickly as possible."

"After all, Cosmic Gemstones are a food favored by the great Eating Phase Insect Mother. They will be of enormous help to us."

Hearing this, the three Ancient Gods all grew exceptionally serious.

For the longest time, they had spent most of their days stationed on the Star Dust Plateau.

While they did venture out to explore occasionally, the regions they explored were rarely too dangerous.

But this time, the treasure was appearing right on their doorstep.

They had no choice but to fight for it.

If such a top-tier treasure could help increase their strength, they would not give it up.

At the same time, the three Ancient Gods from the Secret Wilderness also took note of this scene.

Soon, the stationed Ancient Gods felt the Cosmic Fissures in several locations begin to tremble violently, as the Ancient Essence they spewed increased exponentially.

"There's activity at the Cosmic Fissure over here."

Antisum immediately reported, a note of pleasant surprise in his voice.

"Same on my end."

Oka Entropy reported the same.

Zorn, however, looked at the Cosmic Fissure before him. Although the Ancient Essence it spewed had grown much denser, there were clearly no signs of it ejecting any resources.

'I hope there's a good haul from those five Independent Star Realm Districts.' Zorn prayed inwardly.

RUMBLE...

Suddenly, several terrifying powers abruptly pierced into the Star Dust Plateau.

At the same time, waves of surging and astonishing power began to rage across the Star Dust Plateau.

Then, huge, purple-gold Cosmic Gemstones shot out like meteors, flying rapidly off in their own directions.

Wherever these Cosmic Gemstones passed, they stirred up astonishing cosmic ripples.

If these cosmic ripples were allowed to spread freely, they would inevitably be detected by other Ancient Gods.

Zorn immediately used the Starry Sky Ancient Insect Path to suppress and neutralize the massive ripples caused by these Cosmic Gemstones.

Antisum and Oka Entropy immediately gave chase to the Cosmic Gemstones.

Before long, Antisum's astonished voice came through.

"This Cosmic Gemstone is incredibly fast, and it's highly sentient! When it sensed me blocking its path, it changed direction and fled."

"The Cosmic Gemstones must be sentient. Try using some kind of imprisonment or delaying technique to restrict their movement. Wait for their spiritual energy to deplete a little before attempting to capture them."

Zorn said after a moment of thought.

Antisum and Oka Entropy immediately used techniques to restrict the Cosmic Gemstones.

"Haha... These suppression and slowing techniques really are effective."

Before long, Oka Entropy's voice rang out on the Cosmic Magic Net.

"Indeed. Using suppression and control-type abilities is an effective way to restrict these Cosmic Gemstones."

Antisum's voice was also filled with delight.

Zorn just chuckled lightly.

He had made it sound like a casual suggestion, but it was, in fact, the best way to counter the Cosmic Gemstones.

"In that case, I'll use the Starry Sky Ancient Insect Path to suppress these Cosmic Gemstones as well."

As Zorn mobilized the power of the Starry Sky Ancient Insect Path, the spiritual essence and cosmic momentum of the Cosmic Gemstones plummeted.

Seeing this, the other Ancient Gods were overjoyed.

This way, they would be able to capture the Cosmic Gemstones even more quickly.
