Prime Originator

Chapter 779 - Supreme-Grade Divine Crystal

As Leon expected of the support-circuit building, runic circuits filled the interior—so much that the energy flow within the countless snake-like circuits illuminated the entire enclosed space.

But apart from these circuits, which runs along the floor, walls, and ceiling, countless corpses and bones laid askew on top of each other.

However, the first thing noticed and had his eyes fixed on was the large blue crystal situated on a goblet-like socket in the center.

The large blue crystal radiated with overflowing divine energy.

"A Supreme-grade Divine Crystal? No, I've never seen nor heard of a Supreme-grade Divine Crystal this big before…" Leon mutters with astonishment.

Just like how the crystalized form of spirit energy is called spirit stone or spirit crystal, the crystallized form of divine energy is called divine crystal or divine stone, depending on their purity.

The Divine Realm possessed divine stone and crystal mines on its blessed lands, but they rarely find natural-formed divine crystals bigger than the size of two fists.

And yet, the one in front of Leon was about the size of four watermelons.

"And it's likely that there are at least another three divine crystals of this size? Who on earth was bored enough to condense such large divine crystals?' Leon adds.

However, he shortly pauses with a sudden thought.

"No, if the Radiant Heaven Realmship was made in the primordial age of gods and devils, then perhaps, such large divine crystals might have been pretty common…"

'No, it's as you doubted, Master. This Supreme-grade Divine Crystal wasn't formed naturally; it was only the size of two fists when the Radiant Heaven God-Emperor made me and grew as I evolved.'

The Realm Spirit informs him.

'I see. That makes sense, thanks,' Leon replied to the Realm Spirit before rubbing his chin thoughtfully.

Supreme-grade Divine Crystals can absorb nearby divine energy to replenish themselves and was considered one of the most precious currencies in the Divine Realm due to it.

'Still, with divine crystals of this magnitude, I'm afraid it has enough power to blow up a small planet… Perhaps I shouldn't have removed the barrier.'

Leon furrowed his brows.

'You don't need to worry about this, Master. This building has its own protective measures, and by that, I mean a gate. I can close the door after Master leaves with everyone in here,' the Realm Spirit assured.

'If you still had a door, then why was this building sealed with a Celestial Barrier instead?' Leon raised his doubt.

'That is because the Radiant Sword Celestial Emperor's son, Impervious Sea Celestial King, wanted to protect his family in this building, which was far away from the battle on the surface at the time, but the gate could only block demons on par with Celestial Warriors from entering.'

The Realm Spirit explains with a bit of melancholy and helplessness in its tone as it recalls the past events.

'At that time, the Impervious Sea Celestial King conjured a Celestial Barrier strong enough to block several full-powered hits from a Demon King before he joined the battle. It's just that…'

'The Impervious Sea Celestial King didn't expect to fall in battle like many others and end up leaving his family trapped in this building until the end of their lives, right?'

'Yes, Master…'

'I see.'

Leon did not continue the topic after that.

Although he couldn't tell how powerful a Celestial King's barrier is supposed to be, the barrier he took down was definitely not at that level, most likely worn down over the years.

Furthermore, the Impervious Sea Celestial King's trapped family wouldn't have sat around and waited for their deaths either.

They would have exhausted all their strengths and wits to break the barrier after the war ended.

And if the Realm Spirit says that they didn't think of borrowing the Supreme-grade Divine Crystal's abundant energy to break the barrier, then he wouldn't believe it.

There was a high chance they thought of it but ended up paying the price for attempting it.

After all, the Realm Spirit would have been freed from its binding after the Radiant Sword Celestial Emperor fell in battle and no longer had an obligation to protect nor help the Impervious Sea Celestial King's family.

Thus, it would have certainly killed them if they tried to harm it by trying to use the Supreme-grade Divine Crystal.

'There's no need to touch on this sensitive topic,' Leon thought to himself.

It wouldn't be too late to understand everything after he reaches the realm spirit's heart and binds it with his blood.

…

As Saresha and the other dark faes explored the support-circuit building with curiosity, they eventually made some discoveries.

"My lord, there's treasure hidden in these piles of corpses and bones. Do you want us to collect them all for you?" Saresha inquired.

Leon furrowed his brows for a moment before saying, "Do you even need to ask? You want to descrate these bodies and disturb their rest? Do you think they will be happy?"

"I-I'm sorry, my lord. I have spoken thou—"

"Of course, f*ck them and round up every valuable thing you can find," Leon suddenly said, stunning all the dark faes before he continued to speak, "These people have been dead for a long time, yet their valuables remain behind."

"Obviously, they couldn't take the valuables with them when they died, so there's no need to leave these valuables behind for the dead. If we don't take them, then someone else will."

"Go on, gather everything you find precious," Leon urges.

"Y-yes, my lord!"

Saresha and the dark faes were slow to respond.

During the first half of their lord's speech, they all thought their lord sympathized with the dead, but they thought wrong, very wrong.

Their lord didn't give a single sh*t about the dead.

"Oh, yes," Leon suddenly utters.

"Remember to bring all the corpses and bones outside and bury them to appease the dead," Leon instructs them with a nonchalant attitude before adding, "We can't just take their stuff and leave their remains like this. Otherwise, they curse us with bad luck."

"Y-yes, my lord."

In the end, Saresha and the dark faes were baffled, unable to read their lord's thoughts and see through him.
