Chapter 672: Chapter 351 The Power of Eternal Abyss [Super Divine Energy]

Li Ming looked at Robbin, wanting to verify his speculation.

Robbin shook his head helplessly, "I don’t know either."

Li Ming understood in his heart that the Skull didn’t know either, or perhaps it was beyond its level of access.

He believed he had guessed correctly. According to the data, the Terrax Stone was unearthed from a massive container.

What Li Ming hadn’t known earlier was that this container was actually a Terrax coffin. Now, completing this piece of the puzzle, the answer appeared naturally.

Transformed from the remains of Terrax, Li Ming pondered. He originally wanted to ask whether the Terrax race had flourished, but the words stuck in his throat.

Flourished or not, during their era of rule, who knows how many Terrax were buried in this manner.

If civilizations in the Main Universe had never found a way to use them, the remaining quantities must be staggering. Even if only fragments remained, it would still be sufficient for his purposes.

With this thought, he abruptly asked, "Do you know how long ago the Terrax Civilization existed?"

"Uh..." Robbin scratched his head and hesitated, "When the Terrax Civilization completely vanished, the ancestors of the Star Abyss Empire were probably still playing with mud on some planet."

Li Ming fell silent, but couldn’t help asking, "Didn’t the Terrax Civilization attempt to meddle with the Main Universe back then?"

"The ’Main Universe’ is just a term we use for this era. For the Terrax Civilization, perhaps the Dimension World was their Main Universe." Robbin’s gaze drifted as he explained, feeling an increasingly strange sensation.

Li Ming was essentially speaking through him to the butler AI. And as the questions multiplied, this feeling grew stronger.

"When they conducted large-scale exploration of the Main Universe, it was already the twilight of their civilization. They might have left traces, but probably not much."

Li Ming fell into deep thought. The Main Universe and Dimension World were two sides of the same coin. The boundaries of the Main Universe had yet to be found, and every so often, new civilizations were discovered. Many civilizations seemed to explore these boundaries like territorial conquest.

According to the regulations of the interstellar alliance, newly discovered unclaimed star systems and planets belong to the individual or civilization that first discovers and reports them to the interstellar alliance.

Many explorers had gotten rich because of this.

Similarly, the Dimension World operated in the same way. The Terrax home base was in the Dimension World, so naturally, their main focus was on exploring that domain.

Cultural beliefs differed. Li Ming was pondering this when he suddenly noticed something—the Divine Attribute Crystal in his hand had been fully absorbed. He casually took out another one.

Meanwhile, Robbin went ahead by himself, turning his back to Li Ming with an expression that looked as if he were severely constipated. Still, he raised his hand and made some strange gestures.

Li Ming didn’t quite understand, but in the next moment, he saw the floor of the grand tomb light up. Golden radiance coalesced mid-air into scenes resembling murals.

"This is an epitaph..." Robbin said, his facial muscles twitching. It seemed the butler wasn’t even bothering to hide things anymore.

"An epitaph?" Li Ming gazed in amazement at the scenes resembling murals and the tiny, symbol-like characters, which appeared to be their language.

He had absolutely no data reference for this, so naturally, he couldn’t interpret it.

Robbin read it aloud, "He called himself Sangluosi, Ash Lord, ruling thousands of Dimension Worlds under his command, having hunted more than one Lord Level Dimension Life..."

Li Ming’s gaze turned intrigued. While instructing Thunder to record everything, he continued listening. It seemed to detail Sangluosi’s life—where he was born, what he had done, and so on.

"Such peculiar customs they have..." Li Ming listened carefully, gaining a deeper understanding of this civilization.

"... He also claimed his most praised achievement was slaying a..."

At this point, Robbin abruptly stopped. Li Ming, who was paying close attention, looked over but didn’t urge him immediately.

Robbin was sweating profusely, caught between saying it or not saying it. Why stop at the critical moment? What was the butler trying to do?

"Do as I’ve taught you." After a brief pause, the butler AI spoke again, and Robbin breathed a sigh of relief as if pardoned.

Li Ming watched as Robbin bit through his finger and allowed his blood to drip into the central pit. A faint chant echoed in the vast hall, as if traveling from an ancient timeline.

Rumble!

The ground trembled. A stone pillar slowly rose from the pit’s center. In the center’s indentation lay a black box, marked all over with intricate symbols.

"Something else?" Li Ming’s body tensed as he pondered. This seemed to be a kind of verification mechanism. Could Robbin actually possess Terrax bloodline?

Hmm, it was highly possible.

Robbin himself was in shock. Gazing at the black box before him, he instinctively picked it up. It felt smooth to the touch, like some jade-like material.

He tried applying a bit of force—it was as solid as a rock and wouldn’t open no matter what.

"Drip a drop of your blood."

My blood again? Robbin grumbled, but he complied.

As the blood dripped, crimson ripples began to spread rapidly. A sharp clicking sound followed, and the box opened on its own.

A black mist burst out violently.

What the hell!

Startled, Robbin instinctively let go of the box, but he was a step too slow. In an instant, his right arm lost all sensation, as if covered in a layer of black ice that continued spreading rapidly.

Crack!

In a flash, his forearm shattered. It was Li Ming who acted decisively, severing Robbin’s arm along with a portion of unharmed flesh still attached to stop the spread of the black ice.

Only now did the excruciating pain in his right arm hit Robbin, cold sweat pouring down his face. Filled with lingering fear and anger, he roared, "What the fuck was that thing?! It nearly killed me!"
