Chapter 414: The Miasma Crystal
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Li Xiang didn’t dare to imagine how strong the Tower of Stars would be.
Of course, he also knew that this was not the right way to think.
After all, there were many terrifying demons and evil spirits hidden in the wilderness. They couldn’t be simply devoured. If he accidentally provoked a powerful one, it would be very dangerous.
...However, this was definitely a suitable way to upgrade the Tower of Stars.
He suppressed this idea and planned to test it out when he had the opportunity.
“Devour! Devour! This swamp is not like the Myriad World Continent in the outside world. There’s no need to be afraid of any demons or evil spirits. Even if there are, they shouldn’t be able to form on a large scale. This is a real feast!”
Li Xiang was incomparably excited as he activated the Tower of Stars with all his might.
Originally, he had been troubled over the growth of the Tower of Stars in the future. Now that he had such an opportunity, what was he waiting for?
Furthermore, there were eight worlds to be nurtured. Other than the space that was opened at the beginning, the other had almost stopped moving. Now that there was the Primal Chaos Air, so they had begun to expand rapidly again. How could he let go of such an opportunity?
Moreover, eight worlds weren’t the limit of the Tower of Stars. In the future, more worlds would be established. The more worlds there were, the more difficult it would be to advance, and the more resources would be required. Once the resources were insufficient, the worlds inside would even shrink. Li Xiang was well aware of this.
Now that he had the opportunity, he did not hesitate at all.
This mysterious swamp was incomparably large. It just so happened that the entire swamp could be refined by the Primal Chaos Pearl, becoming a resource for the Tower of Stars to grow.
“Rumble…”
In the beginning, Li Xiang was a little careful in absorbing the poisonous sludge. However, as he made up his mind, he increased the intensity of his absorption.
Suddenly, the tiny poisonous sludge that had been pulled up turned from thin snakes into huge demonic dragons with a radius of several meters. They were sucked into the Primal Chaos Pearl in a frenzy.
Li Xiang tossed the Tower of Stars into the air. It grew in the wind and turned into a huge tower that was more than ten meters tall, hanging in the air.
Along with the sludge and poisonous water, countless poisonous miasma floating in the space were also drawn into the Primal Chaos Pearl.
The toxicity of these poisons was extremely domineering. The quality of energy contained in them was also extremely high, even more than the Primal Chaos Air that was transformed from the poisonous water of the sludge.
The space within the Primal Chaos Pearl began to expand and grow at a visible rate after refining a massive amount of sludge, poisonous water, and poisonous gas. At the same time, the Primal Chaos Air that was replenished also drove the rapid growth of the Tower of Stars and the eight worlds.
More mysterious runes appeared on the body of the Tower of Stars, and countless starlight fell from unknown places.
The eight worlds were also expanding rapidly. In a short time, they had expanded by thousands of meters or even tens of thousands of meters.
At this moment, the poisonous sludge outside was being sucked in by the violent suction force, forming a terrifying vortex. If he wasn’t the owner of the Tower of Stars, he would have been sucked in too.
The swamp was simply too vast. Even though the Tower of Stars was absorbing the energy of the swamp violently, it didn’t seem to have much effect.
On the contrary, the ground beneath him began to sink, and the tower followed suit. Its devouring speed was faster and more ferocious. The sludge and poisonous water that gathered from the surroundings were all devoured. This created a strange space around him that was not affected by the poisonous gas outside.
Not long after, he sank deeper and deeper. It was as if his entire body, along with the Tower of Stars, was submerged in the poisonous mud.
Li Xiang did not continue to increase the devouring power of the Tower of Stars. He maintained an equilibrium between the tower and the sludge.
Although there was no air under the swamp, it did not affect him at all.
“Eh? What is this?”
Not long after, Li Xiang had already sunk to the deepest part of the swamp. The silt in the sky was naturally swallowed by the Tower of Stars and would not drown.
There was a piece of ice under his feet that had been condensed by the Frost Law but he seemed to have touched something hard on the surface of the ice.
Li Xiang immediately squatted down and grabbed the thing.
It was a dark green crystal, diamond-shaped, and the size of a fist. As he held it, he felt a strange power coming from the crystal. It was similar to the poisonous miasma he had encountered before, but this was purer and more overbearing.
“Could this thing be a crystal formed by the condensation of poisonous miasma? Perhaps it falls into the swamp and sinks into the ground. This thing should be considered an extremely precious natural treasure that could be used to refine special equipment or even potions. This thing was extremely rare. It would take countless years to condense and it required a special terrain.”
Li Xiang immediately knew the origin of this thing with his probing skill.
This was not an ordinary treasure. Any miasma crystal was priceless, and one could even comprehend the relevant Power of Law by refining it. It was the most top-notch natural treasure and extremely precious.
“I didn’t expect that such treasure would appear here. I’ve gained quite a lot this time!”
Li Xiang kept the miasma crystal in the Tower of Stars as a treasure.
This thing was of no use to him, but it was extremely precious to those who needed it. Even if he were to exchange it for something, he could get the best materials.
In the deep quagmire, Li Xiang could move freely with the help of the devouring ability of the Tower of Stars.
After getting the miasma crystal, he began to look around with some interest.
He didn’t go far before he found another miasma crystal.
“Good lord! It seems that no one has appeared here for countless years. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many miasma crystals condensed. Only a swamp with endless miasma can produce such a large number of miasma crystals. If I can collect all of them, it will definitely be an amazing fortune!”
Li Xiang was excited as he continued to wander around.
The miasma crystals were found one after another and were placed into the tower.
He had no intention of using the Tower of Stars to refine these crystals. Although he could obtain a lot of Primal Chaos Air after refining them and allowing the tower to grow, there was still so much sludge and poisonous water that he hadn’t finished devouring. He didn’t have an urgent need, so there was no need to waste these miasma crystals.
The value of such a rare treasure far exceeded that of a material that could be refined into Primal Chaos Air. Li Xiang could still distinguish the priority between the two.
To produce a heavenly treasure required countless years and extremely harsh conditions, as well as the right time and place.
Even if there wasn’t any mud and poisonous water here, there were still countless lands filled with death aura that was occupied by demons and evil.
He would need a long time to purify those land and mountains using the Divine Pure Grass and Skylight Flowers. Just cleaning up the demons and evil spirits would take years and countless people would die.
