Chapter 327 -327-A Battle Between Great Oracle-grade Beings
Buzz—!
The instant the two made contact, the relief of the snake-haired demoness on the shield’s surface suddenly opened its eyes.
Those were hollow, abyssal eyes, like a gaze from the very end of the abyss. They carried no emotion at all—only pure destruction.
A gray light almost impossible to catch with the naked eye quietly shot out from the snake hair and silently sank into the body of the steel giant spider.
Pop—!
A crisp sound rang out, like a bubble bursting on the surface of water.
That enormous steel giant spider disintegrated inch by inch from the inside out, turning into countless tiny fragments that scattered through the star sea. In the blink of an eye, it was swallowed by the surging Chaotic Essence, leaving not even a trace behind.
The Divine Sovereign powerhouse froze on the spot.
He stared blankly at the empty void, his mouth wide enough to fit a fist inside. Even the totem patterns on his face stiffened.
"No... my Sacred Artisan Law Grade secret treasure..."
He muttered to himself, his voice filled with heartache. That bleeding pain felt worse than having his flesh carved out by a blade.
That was a fortune he had accumulated over countless years. It was one of the treasures he cherished most.
However, what chilled his spine even more was this—
If what had crashed into the shield just now had not been that secret treasure, but himself...
He would probably have ended up like that spider, unable to even leave ashes behind!
"That was close... thank goodness..."
He touched his forehead, and his fingertips brushed against a layer of cold sweat.
He took a deep look at the departing Shield of Aegis, his eyes filled with fear and unwillingness. Then he spat fiercely.
"It was actually a Primordial Law Grade supreme treasure... Fuck, this time I suffered a huge loss."
He had originally wanted to seize a Primordial Star Relic, but not only had he failed, he had lost a Sacred Artisan Law Grade secret treasure instead.
This deal had cost him everything!
...
Daniel and the others were not particularly surprised when they saw that the Divine Sovereign did not chase after them.
A Primordial Law Grade supreme treasure was itself no weaker than an Oracle-grade being. As long as that Divine Sovereign was not insane, he would know when to retreat.
In the star sea, the existences who lived the longest were often not the ones who fought the best, but the ones who best understood how to judge the situation.
"Congratulations, Boss Faustus."
"Excellent methods, Sir Faustus!"
James, Dustin, and the others all congratulated him one after another, their eyes filled with envy.
"Why didn’t a second Star Relic fly over too?"
Dustin pretended to sigh and shook his head.
"Sir Faustus, that Star Relic was truly fated with you!"
Daniel blinked. A playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"I think so too!"
The other powerhouses were stunned and looked at one another.
Daniel smiled.
Now that the Star Relic had already fallen into his hands, it was his.
A star sea treasure land had erupted, and of all things, a Star Relic had just so happened to rush toward him. This luck was no different from picking up a legendary divine artifact in the wilderness.
Who could truly explain something like fate?
...
The Shield of Aegis continued traveling through the chaos.
It passed through one dangerous region after another. In those places, the Chaotic Essence was so dense that it seemed almost tangible. Within the gray mist, enormous figures could be vaguely seen writhing.
Those chaotic creatures were said to have been born from Chaotic Essence, or perhaps they were the corpses of dead Oracle-grade beings that had developed intelligence again over countless years. Every single one of them was unimaginably powerful, capable of tearing apart stars with a casual strike!
Fortunately, the Shield of Aegis was a Primordial Law Grade supreme treasure, allowing them to pass safely through that land of death.
After sensing the aura emitted by the shield, those chaotic creatures all retreated like the tide, as if wild beasts had encountered an even more ferocious member of their own kind.
"If we didn’t have this Shield of Aegis, even a Divine Sovereign would probably suffer here."
James looked at the blurry colossal shadows outside, still feeling lingering fear.
"Any one of those chaotic creatures is no weaker than Oracle-grade. Tearing us apart would be as easy as tearing a sheet of paper."
"The Chaos star sea... is truly incomparably miraculous."
Camille sighed softly. Her gaze contained both reverence and longing.
The Chaos star sea not only contained secret realms and treasure lands, but also forbidden zones that even Oracle-grade beings did not dare enter lightly.
At this moment, the Shield of Aegis was passing through a special terrain formed by Chaotic Essence.
Countless enormous vortexes slowly rotated in the void, like eyes opening in the depths of the star sea. They were deep and unfathomable, as if leading to some unknown abyss.
Even a top-tier Divine-grade secret treasure like the Shield of Aegis was affected by the gravity of those vortexes, its speed slowed as it endured an invisible pulling force.
At this moment, it was as though an invisible giant hand was trying to drag it into endless darkness!
Boom—rumble—!
A muffled thunderous sound came from ahead, like the firmament roaring in anger.
Invisible Strength surged over from the distance. The Shield of Aegis swayed under the tremendous force, like a tiny boat tossed about by raging waves.
The light on the shield’s surface remained as steady as a boulder.
However, Daniel and the others wore solemn expressions, their hearts pounding like war drums.
"Just the chaos of their auras is enough to affect the stability of a Primordial Law Grade supreme treasure..."
James’s voice trembled slightly.
"I’m afraid there are super powerhouses fighting ahead!"
Camille asked curiously, her eyes filled with both fear and excitement.
The answer was soon revealed.
As the Shield of Aegis continued forward while shaking, everyone saw intense fluctuations in the distance. Space itself looked like torn cloth, revealing pitch-black nothingness behind it.
Daniel extended his mind power like an invisible thread into the depths of that chaos.
Soon, his mind power touched two figures.
They were two existences without the slightest aura leaking outward. They floated silently in the void, like two divine statues forgotten at the end of time.
There was no light flowing across their skin. Not even the slightest trace of life fluctuation could be sensed from them. Even their breathing seemed to have stopped entirely.
If he had not seen them with his own eyes, he would never have believed they were living beings!
"Their divine energy is completely restrained..."
Daniel murmured in a low voice, his tone filled with shock.
"If hiding one’s aura and disguising oneself as a mortal is already the limit, then to restrain all of one’s divine energy and all law fluctuations until one seems like a dead object... just what kind of Rank is this?"
Even if they were standing right in front of him, without special methods, he probably would not be able to detect that they were still alive at all!
"Oracle-grade."
Dustin’s expression changed slightly, and his voice subconsciously lowered.
"And... they are great Oracle-grade beings!"
"Only supreme powerhouses who have stepped into that domain can restrain their auras to such a degree—as if they were death itself, silent, cold, and impossible to peer into."
"Great Oracle-grade beings... are fighting!"
James trembled all over, yet his eyes were fixed firmly in that direction. The two confronting figures were reflected in his pupils.
"By the Creator God, I’m actually seeing two great Oracle-grade beings fighting to the death with my own eyes! A scene like this might not be encountered even after drifting through the Endless Starsea for an entire lifetime!"
"In a battle between great Oracle-grade beings, even the aftershocks alone are enough to kill Divine-grade powerhouses."
Daniel sucked in a breath of cold air. His throat felt dry, as if an invisible hand had clenched around his neck.
Every time those two figures attacked, the fluctuations spread outward from them for millions of miles. Wherever they passed, stars shattered, the void collapsed, and even Chaotic Essence was torn to pieces.
How terrifying!
The Shield of Aegis struggled through the gaps between the fluctuations, like a lone boat fighting to survive in a storm.
The snake-haired demoness relief on the shield’s surface flickered between bright and dim, as if it too was enduring tremendous pressure.
Only after an unknown amount of time did that forbidden region finally fall far behind them.
Only then did everyone inside the shield slowly let out a breath of relief.
