Chapter 708: The Fourth Transcendent Prize, Timespace Treasure, Legend of the Human King

“Depart!”

Shang Honghua shouted.

She then whipped out a huge, dark warship.

This warship was similar to some of the Fairy boats in Firmament Star, but it was much larger in scale and had a special material that was extremely tough. As such, it could adapt to the mixed spiritual currents in the universe, rendering it multi-functional.

The number seventeen was engraved on the hull of the battleship.

It symbolized that this was Stronghold Seventeen’s warship.

One after another, the Redshirt Army quickly rushed onto the battleship, and Chu Kuangren followed too. Accompanied by a roar, light patterns flowed on the bottom of the battleship, bursting out a powerful propelling airflow.

With that, the warship ignited and rose into the air.

Stronghold Seventeen underneath the battleship looked smaller and smaller.

“We’re about to break through the Stronghold’s barrier. Open up the barrier.”

“Barrier opening.”

An invisible barrier appeared around the warship.

Soon, everyone penetrated the barrier of Stronghold Seventeen and came into the cold and lonely universe. The surrounding spiritual currents were also isolated by the barriers of the warship, so it did not affect any of its passengers.

“Display the star map and determine the route. Our destination is Asteroid Belt Seven,” Shang Honghua said methodically as she stood on a chair.

In front of everyone, a huge starry sky map appeared.

On it, a light spot was moving.

That spot of light was them.

Chu Kuangren looked at the map from the side with interest.

Then, he looked at the boundless universe beyond the warship and then at the shining stars in the distance. Suddenly, deep down, he felt tiny.

Compared to this eternal universe, an Emperor like him was so minute.

Even the whole of Firmament Star was considered insignificant.

Chu Kuangren looked at the star map in front of him and asked curiously, “How wide is the coverage of this star map?”

Shang Honghua did not answer. However, Bai Lixue next to him smiled and said, “This star map was drawn by the great ones of Firmament Star. It roughly covers the range of a light-year radius with Firmament Star as its center.”

“A light-year radius?”

“Yes, it’s almost nine trillion kilometers.”

Chu Kuangren nodded. He did not expect the concept of light-years to exist here too. According to the knowledge he learned in his previous life, a light-year was roughly equivalent to more than nine trillion kilometers.

“We are now roughly one-twentieth light-year away from Asteroid Belt Seven. At the speed of the warship, it will take about seven days to arrive,” Bai Lixue said again.

This warship was the highest specification warship in the entire Stronghold Seventeen, and its moving speed was as fast as an Emperor.

There were still seven days to go before they reached their destination. Since Chu Kuangren was not in a hurry, he found an unoccupied room on the battleship to move into.

…

“Congratulations, Host! You’ve drawn a Transcendent-grade prize, Timespace Treasure!”

Today, Chu Kuangren drew a prize.

This prize made his eyes light up.

Including the Lucky Halo, the Tome of Physiques, and the Omniscient Spirit, this was the fourth Transcendent prize he had obtained!

He opened the inventory and saw that there was a silver-white thing that resembled a compass lying inside. This compass seemed like a circle surrounded by a circle, nested in layers.

Overall, it was composed of nine circles, and in the middle was a white crystal engraved with countless mysterious lines.

Chu Kuangren could only see that the two outermost circles were made up of countless Daoist patterns, while the innermost seven circles were not that clear.

“Take out the Timespace Treasure!”

Once Chu Kuangren had set up heavy layers of restrictions in his surroundings, he took out this treasure. Suddenly, the palm-sized Timeless Treasure appeared in front of him.

“Lil Ai, analyze the Timespace Treasure.”

“Connecting the Universe’s consciousness… Analyzing target…”

In the past, when Chu Kuangren used the Omniscient Spirit to analyze anything and everything, he would quickly get an answer.

It was the same even when analyzing the mysterious Heavenly Punishment Daoist Pattern.

Yet now, he has encountered an error analyzing this Timespace Treasure, and a full hour has since passed.

“When it comes to the laws of time and space, it can’t be fully analyzed.”

“Aren’t you called the Omniscient Spirit?”

Little Ai, the Omniscient Spirit was left speechless.

‘Who knew you would have so many bizarre items on you?’

“I can force the analysis, but the premise is you must have a strong enough cultivation base to support the analysis. Otherwise, your whole person, including soul, body, and cultivation base, will completely collapse. Do you still want to try it?”

Lil Ai said gently.

“Uh, forget it then.”

Chu Kuangren did not want to risk his life to analyze this Timespace Treasure. Following that, he simply refined this Timespace Treasure. Based on his cultivation base, he should not be able to refine treasures that involve laws. However, this was a prize he drew.

In essence, this was his possession.

That was why he could refine it.

Nevertheless, all he had now was ownership over this item.

If he wanted the right to use it, he would have to work hard for it.

Three days later.

Chu Kuangren had simply refined the Timespace Treasure, and just like the Tome of Physiques, this thing had penetrated into the depths of his soul.

After refining the item, he gained some of the Timespace Treasure’s abilities.

Timespace Treasure, as the name suggested, was a treasure that harnessed the power of time and space. This timespace energy was one of the most mysterious powers in this vast universe and was almost comparable to soul energy.

The first ability was Time Lock!

Judging by the name itself, one could tell how overpowered this ability was.

Of course, this ability was not without any limitations as it could only freeze time within a certain range, and the effect was situation-dependent.

The second ability was Spatial Transfer!

It could grant one the ability to transfer things from one space to another.

This ability was a little awkward for Chu Kuangren because it overlapped with his Spatial Conveyor Skill.

However, after some research, he found that this skill was not completely useless as it could be used in combination with his Spatial Conveyor Skill, making the skill handier.

At the same time, the skill could also become stronger in power.

In general, the abilities that the Timespace Treasure had shown in these early stages were already benefiting Chu Kuangren greatly.

If he continued extensive research on it, the benefits that this prize could give him would be even greater.

“As expected of a Transcendent-grade prize. Everything about it is so surprising.” Chu Kuangren smiled with satisfaction.

He then walked out of the battleship’s room and came to the battleship’s living room.

Here, he met Shang Honghua.

She was sitting on the soft leather chair with a book in her hand, reading attentively.

Seemingly having noticed Chu Kuangren’s arrival, Shang Honghua glanced at him. However, she ignored him after that and continued reading her book.

Chu Kuangren felt a little curious.

According to Heavenly Imperial Ghostblade, Shang Honghua spent almost all of her time on cultivation, expeditions, and battling in order to avenge her parents, leaving little to no time left for other things. In that case, how could she find the time to read a book?

“What book are you reading, Commodore Junior?”

Shang Honghua hesitated for a while, pondering whether to answer Chu Kuangren. In the end, she said calmly, “The Legend of the Human King.”

“Legend of the Human King? It’s about the Human King.”

“Yes.”

Chu Kuangren became even more intrigued. “I’ve heard things about the Human King from a few senior elders, but I never knew someone actually wrote a book about him. Are you very interested in his fables, Commodore Junior?”

“There is no human who isn’t fascinated with the Human King. He was a great king. Without him, the human race would still be under the gods’ ruling and live life in captivity. He was the first and only one in human history worthy enough to be called the king of humans.”

A look of admiration shone through Shang Honghua’s eyes.
