My Items Can Upgrade-Chapter 440 - 207: Cosmic Crystal? Shadow Demon
"Did they think I would be trapped to death on that uninhabited planet?"
Zhang Peng’s heart was filled with extreme anger, because although he had escaped, there were still many of their people on that uninhabited planet.
And now, something big seemed to have happened on that planet, and he didn’t dare to go back.
The team members all had lingering fears on their faces, and they couldn’t help but show expressions of having survived a disaster when they thought of the terrifying wave that had erupted from that planet earlier.
"That thing before... was it a Celestial-level Creature?" someone spoke in the channel.
"Celestial-level? The Celestial-level creatures we’ve seen before weren’t that terrifying, were they?"
"Could it be..."
Everyone couldn’t help but gasp.
Could it be, it was something beyond Celestial-level?
Just then, a storm-like energy surged out from the asteroid cluster, enveloping the entire star system in the blink of an eye.
Among the entire fleet, only Zhang Peng could withstand the oppressive force of this terrifying energy.
But the others weren’t so lucky, all were immobilized by the strong energy impact and quickly drawn into an energy vortex.
Zhang Peng struggled to resist the energy’s oppression, his eyes wide open as he watched everything unfold.
"What kind of energy is this?" He was horrified in his heart, and just as the feeling of having survived a calamity had appeared, suddenly—
A strong light came from the energy vortex, illuminating the entire star system.
Zhang Peng instinctively closed his eyes, and the next moment he and the team members were sucked into the vortex by a terrifying force.
He felt a dizzying sensation.
He didn’t know how much time had passed.
When the dizziness subsided and the strong light disappeared, Zhang Peng found himself in an entirely new star system.
His subordinates were also there, not scattered, which was perhaps the only bit of good luck at the moment.
The distant planets shimmered with a strange light, as if made of crystal.
And in front of them, a massive palace stood there, exuding a mysterious aura. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
"Where is this?" The team members looked at the scene before them in amazement.
"I don’t know, but the energy fluctuations here are even stronger than those of the previous crystals."
Zhang Peng felt the surrounding energy fluctuations, and instead of feeling any excitement, he was filled with wariness.
He discreetly checked his Moonlight Treasure Box and found cracks appearing on it, his heart aching to the point of bleeding.
In fact, if it were just him teleporting, this physical version of the Moonlight Treasure Box could be used tens of thousands of times.
After all, it was crafted from the Celestial Marvel Moonstone and wouldn’t easily get damaged.
However, earlier he had teleported dozens of people at once, slightly overloading the Moonlight Treasure Box.
His original Conceptual Ability had a cooldown time, but after making the Moonlight Treasure Box corporeal, he could use it without cooldown, anytime, anywhere.
Moreover, the effect remained the same, ignoring space, ignoring seals, even rules couldn’t stop it, allowing him to return to up to twenty-four hours earlier at the longest.
Theoretically, even if he were bound hand and foot and his powers sealed, unable to speak, he could still use his ability to teleport to where he was in the past to break free from seals or escape danger, etc.
It was precisely because of this life-saving ability that he dared to be so reckless.
Including the earlier rescue of Li Feng, it was because his skills were high and his courage was great.
’These people... let’s see their luck, after all, they are just subordinates, not friends or family.’
Zhang Peng put away the Moonlight Treasure Box, discreetly glancing at the surrounding team members.
Anyway, these people were just subordinates sent by the alliance, not truly loyal to him.
So sacrificing these people would cause him, at most, some guilt and nothing more.
Of course, that’s a plan for emergencies. For now, he still needed them to do things for him.
A myriad of thoughts flashed through his mind, and Zhang Peng calmed down, starting to give various orders.
After setting up and assigning tasks, they cautiously approached the palace and entered.
Originally, they thought they would soon face their greatest crisis, but what puzzled Zhang Peng was that by the time they actually entered the palace, they hadn’t encountered any danger at all.
The interior of the palace was filled with an ancient and mysterious atmosphere, with various strange runes carved on the walls, exuding an indescribable power.
In the deepest part of the palace, they found a huge crystal.
The crystal shone brightly, making it hard to look directly at.
The team members were filled with curiosity, wanting to explore the secrets of this crystal.
"Something’s not right, it’s the same as the crystals we collected earlier."
A team member acting as a technical advisor frowned and said, "Captain, I suggest we leave here immediately."
"Nonsense, do you think I want to stay here if we could leave?" Zhang Peng said speechlessly.
They had been sucked in by the energy vortex, and now, that vortex had disappeared.
If it were just him, he could leave directly using his ability.
But these people were his subordinates, and as long as it wasn’t a life-or-death situation, he didn’t want to abandon them.
"There doesn’t seem to be any danger around, let’s collect those crystals first," Zhang Peng ordered.
"Yes, Captain."
Several team members nodded respectfully.
Just as they were about to touch the crystals, a shrill alarm suddenly sounded.
Everyone in the palace was startled and immediately looked towards the direction of the alarm.
"It seems important to the palace!"
"Quick, collect these crystals!"
Zhang Peng directly waved his hand, collecting all the crystals.
