My Items Can Upgrade-Chapter 441 - 207: Cosmic Crystal? Shadow Demon (Part 2)
In the early stages, spatial equipment is difficult to acquire, but by the Earth Level, acquiring such equipment is not very difficult.
His own had been a gift from someone else and was spacious enough to hold a mountain, capable of storing many resources.
"Let’s go take a look."
After putting away the crystals, Zhang Peng had someone scout ahead while he quickly followed, heading in the direction of the alarm sound.
Before long, they reached the center of the palace.
A massive projection appeared there.
And the owner of the projection... was none other than Li Feng!
"It’s you!!" Zhang Peng’s face turned cold.
"You’ve come in here too?!" Li Feng sneered, looking at Zhang Peng and the others.
"You traitor!" Zhang Peng was furious, speaking through clenched teeth.
"Traitor? Hahaha, you are truly laughable."
Li Feng’s expression was inscrutable, "I just saw through the truth of this universe, I just woke up a bit earlier than you, I just... want to become the Cosmic Dominator!"
"Cosmic Dominator? That’s quite the claim for an Earth’s Limit!"
Zhang Peng sneered, doubting that Li Feng might have discovered something extraordinary, but becoming the Cosmic Dominator was nothing but a pipe dream.
"What’s wrong with Earth’s Limit? You look down on Earth’s Limit?"
Li Feng laughed wildly, "With enough of these crystals, even an ordinary person can control this illusory universe. Don’t believe it?"
He laughed as he looked at Zhang Peng and the others, "I’ll tell you right now, these crystals are called Cosmic Crystals. Can you gather anything from their name?"
Cosmic Crystals?
Zhang Peng frowned, about to speak, when suddenly—
"Boom—"
The entire palace exploded, and a terrifyingly large hand pierced through the chaotic spatial flow outside, snatching Li Feng from the spatial gap where he was hiding.
"Where are the Cosmic Crystals?"
A massive, entirely black figure emerged from the darkness, excitement flashing in his eyes as he looked at Li Feng caught in his grip, "Quickly, tell me, where are the Cosmic Crystals?"
Zhang Peng: "..."
Fleet members: "..."
Li Feng: "..."
"Won’t speak, huh? Then I’ll search your soul myself!" The ominous black figure sneered, preparing to cast a spell.
"Wait, I’ll talk, I’ll talk..."
Li Feng’s face changed dramatically, his heart filled with terror and fury; he couldn’t fathom why such a powerful entity had suddenly appeared.
Faced with a being of such level, he didn’t dare hide anything, revealing everything he knew and took out his spatial treasures for the entity to inspect.
The newcomer was the Shadow Demon, who had once been drawn into the Creation Continent by the light of the Treasure-Collecting Gourd, causing his power to plummet.
Afterwards, as the special characteristics of the Treasure-Collecting Gourd faded, he flew out of the Creation Continent on his own, gradually restoring his power.
Although he had not yet returned to his peak, with Cosmic Crystals, he could reattain that state in no time.
This is why, passing through the nearby starry sky and hearing the words ’Cosmic Crystals’, he became so excited.
Under normal circumstances, fully recovering to his peak was nearly impossible within several tens of thousands of years.
But with Cosmic Crystals, it wouldn’t take a hundred years to return to his former power level.
In the distance, Zhang Peng and others looked on with guarded expressions, ready to flee at any moment.
The rest were prepared to risk everything to escape into the chaotic spatial flow, while Zhang Peng pondered the time he was furthest from this place within the last twenty-four hours.
’This is too unlucky; how is it that we’ve run into beings of this level twice in a row?’
The dark figure before them seemed not as overwhelmingly strong as the presence they’d sensed on the desolate planet before, but still far beyond what they could contend with.
At this point, the Shadow Demon had acquired Li Feng’s Spatial Storage Device, easily breaking the Spiritual Brand before emptying its contents in one fell swoop.
"The Cosmic Crystals? Where are they?"
Impatient and eager, he rummaged through the contents, brushing aside the crystals Zhang Peng and the others had fought over.
This scene left Zhang Peng and the others momentarily stunned.
And Li Feng, caught in one hand, sensed trouble, struggling to explain, "Senior, the ’Cosmic Crystals’ I mentioned are those; perhaps you misunderstood, the Cosmic Crystals I mentioned aren’t the same as the ones you seek..."
The Shadow Demon looked toward the direction Li Feng gestured to, seeing the massive transparent crystals akin to small mountains, and was momentarily dumbfounded.
His already dark face grew even darker: "Dragon Saliva Condensation??? You dare mess with me?!!"
"Ah, this..."
"Dragon Saliva Condensation?"
Zhang Peng and the others were dumbfounded.
And Li Feng, stupefied: "Dragon Saliva Condensation? Impossible! This looks exactly like the Cosmic Crystals I saw in ancient texts..."
"Exactly my foot!"
The Shadow Demon, infuriated, hurled Li Feng to the ground. "Cosmic Crystals are crystallized Cosmic Origins, far surpassing the origins of your Creation Continent, a currency even at the Demon God Level. How does this little Heaven’s Limit dragon’s blood and sweat condensation compare to a Cosmic Crystal?"
He was somewhat exasperated, unable to recall the last time he felt so deceived.
Li Feng shook his head repeatedly, unable to accept this reality.
Mainly, he couldn’t accept that after working hard for so many years, the information he gathered was false.
His face showed a trace of anxiety and confusion; he didn’t know if he was truly deceived.
But the mysterious entity before him probably wouldn’t trick him.
So then...
Had he truly been mistaken?!
The Shadow Demon sneered, a hint of disdain gleaming in his eyes: "Kid, you’re an absolute fool."
Li Feng: "..."
"You think you can easily obtain Cosmic Crystals? Cosmic Crystals are crystallized Cosmic Origins, inaccessible to mere mortals like you."
The Shadow Demon coldly remarked, "Your Dragon Saliva Condensation is nothing but a common gemstone. Of course, for ants below Heaven Level, it might be a treasure, but compared to Cosmic Crystals, it’s light-years away."
"Cosmic Crystals... that huge?"
Looking at the mountain-like crystals, he felt a mind-numbing frustration again: "What do you think Cosmic Crystals are? Cabbages? Even I haven’t seen such a huge piece of a Cosmic Crystal!"
"How could it be..."
Li Feng instinctively shook his head, his heart filled with anger and indignation.
He was unwilling to easily admit his mistakes, even more so unwilling to be played like a fool.
He wasn’t someone who merely cultivated to Earth’s Limit later on, but an old genius stuck at Earth’s Limit for countless ages.
Although he did not experience the catastrophe of the past, he had heard something about it, and living long enough, he had access to a lot of information.
He also knew that Cosmic Crystals were things even Demon Gods coveted.
And knowing this, he thought that as long as he acquired enough Cosmic Crystals, he could become a Demon God, maybe even surpass a Demon God, and then single-handedly suppress the Game Government, becoming the Cosmic Dominator.
Leaning on his longevity, he collected a vast amount of information over tens of thousands of years and finally found something resembling a Treasure Map, leading him to an Uninhabited Planet in the end.
But on the Uninhabited Planet, he was unfortunately attacked by the native lifeforms, rendering his spacecraft completely destroyed, forcing him to seek rescue.
In short, he always thought that what he was searching for was Cosmic Crystals.
Even though this mysterious being proved that those crystals were not Cosmic Crystals, he did not quite believe it, a fixation forming in his mind.
"This is... infuriating!"
Seeing this kid dare to question him, the Shadow Demon slammed his palm down.
"Boom!"
Li Feng naturally died, completely and utterly.
The palm strike from the Shadow Demon crushed the entire palace, sending out a terrifying shockwave.
Zhang Peng’s face changed dramatically, no longer daring to linger, instantly activating the Moonlight Treasure Box to teleport himself away.
This time, fearing the terrifying creature might pursue, he wanted to save the uses of the Moonlight Treasure Box, so he didn’t take his subordinates with him.
