Chapter 1628: Chapter 1628
On the second layer of the Myriad Demon Domain, many Tier-7 Great Demons turned a blind eye to her. Even when Mesmerizing Demon and General Hugo passed by each other, Hugo showed no reaction.
Owen Bertram first returned to the village, and went straight to Burning Hillock to "submit the task".
Speaking of which, Owen Bertram was somewhat reluctant. He already had two incomplete sets of Immortal Pivot Devices in his hands, and the Immortal Pivot Core that Burning Hillock wanted was the more complete set. Owen Bertram estimated that after resolving the matters of the Demon Clan, he could go back to Central State and was likely to complete the set.
The strong combat power exerted by a complete set of Immortal Pivot Devices could make him the strongest among the Ninth Great Realm even after he advanced to the Ninth Level! The Immortal Pivot Core is the power core of the whole set of Immortal Pivot Device, and if it were offered up, it would greatly diminish the power even if the set were completed in the future.
However, Owen Bertram was even more aware that there was a huge secret hidden in Burning Hillock. He needed further communication with Burning Hillock, which was equally important under the grand trend of "Origin Resurgence" and the self-repairing of the Heavenly Track.
When Owen Bertram stood in front of Burning Hillock, it was still silent inside, as if it had never treated him differently. Owen Bertram took out the Mechanical Heart-like Immortal Pivot Core and gently pushed it with his hand. The treasure flew into Burning Hillock and then disappeared suddenly!
For a moment, Owen Bertram had an illusion that the world had solidified, and time had lost its meaning. Immediately after, Owen Bertram discovered that he was standing on a huge mound! Beneath his feet were nine huge fissures, from which crimson radiance burst out, and through the red light, he could vaguely see the peculiar flames surging below the fissures - these flames seemed to be even higher in rank than the Divine Fire!
"Is this the true form of Burning Hillock?!"
Just as Owen Bertram came up with this guess, he suddenly found himself entangled in endless and intertwined rule lines, like an insect trapped by countless spider webs.
At this time, Owen Bertram’s ability to comprehend these rule lines improved a little, as he thought this was the "task reward" given by Burning Hillock. He hastily tried to study these rule lines, but they seemed to be harp strings plucked by a giant hand, vibrating to trigger some special power. Owen Bertram was astonished to see that all the parts of the Immortal Pivot Device on his body flew out of the All-encompassing Small World!
Owen Bertram raised his head abruptly, and that Immortal Pivot Core was hanging on a rule line above his head!
This rule line was extraordinary, like a sword hanging above his head, or like...a rope, tying the Immortal Pivot Core like a carrot and hanging it in front of a donkey pulling a mill.
Under Owen Bertram’s feet, the true form of Burning Hillock reappeared and perfectly integrated with the dense rule lines. From the nine fissures, the crimson light burst out again, and the special flames whose existence was even higher than the Divine Fire surged up. However, the target was not Owen Bertram, but the parts of the Immortal Pivot Device!
The flames swirled, and a complete Immortal Pivot Device appeared - with numerous components being re-smelted and integrated. Then, the special rule line above his head fell and merged the Immortal Pivot Core into the new Immortal Pivot Device.
The flames surged once more and smelted them into a whole.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh -
The brand new Immortal Pivot Device decomposed into individual components and danced towards Owen Bertram. He stood still, and the components actually integrated into his body and disappeared from view. However, Owen Bertram was able to clearly feel the existence of this set of treasures, and besides, the treasure was not only extremely powerful, but also more helpful to him at the moment, shielding him under the Heavenly Track! With this set of Immortal Pivot Devices, he almost eliminated more than 90% of the chances of exposure.
Then, Owen Bertram saw his Gourd Vine Immortal Rope wriggling out like a spirit snake. The flames surged out again, and this time, the nine kinds of flames were simultaneously smelting and forging the Gourd Vine Immortal Rope, blending it into a part of the Immortal Pivot Device. The rope wrapped around Owen Bertram’s right wrist, turning into a faint tattoo.
The new Immortal Binding Rope was even more powerful than before, giving Owen Bertram the feeling that he could conquer the world with just this rope alone at the Eighth Major Realm!
Immediately after, Owen Bertram’s vision blurred, and it seemed as if everything had been an illusion and that he hadn’t entered Burning Hillock, standing in the same place as before. However, with a thought, the Immortal Pivot Device appeared on his body.
"Burning Hillock asked me to find the Immortal Pivot Core, but what it needed was not the Immortal Pivot Core... it helped me to reforge a set of Immortal Pivot Devices, in order to use them in the Great Stealth Realm..."
Owen Bertram suddenly understood: "The Immortal Pivot Core is the most special part. Now that Burning Hillock can’t forge it, it asked me to find this treasure. As long as it has the Immortal Pivot Core, it can help me forge a complete set of Immortal Pivot Device!"
"So, that’s how it is..." Owen Bertram was grateful to Burning Hillock, but suddenly, the intertwined rule lines appeared before his eyes again. These lines stretched to one side, and illusions emerged in the middle, showing Owen Bertram a place:
The second layer of the Myriad Demon Domain.
The perspective gradually zoomed in, from the entire second layer to the Demon Clan Royal City, then the Imperial Palace. After entering the Imperial Palace, it unlocked numerous prohibitions and opened a hidden treasure vault deep within. Finally, the scene focused on a strange beast horn among various treasures.
