Chapter 619 - 490 Gilded Heavenly Lock
“Today, Zhu Garden 777.
Shen Die and Zhang Qianyi came to visit, knowing that Su Yuan was about to head to the Southern Continent.
Shen Die took a sip of tea and said, “We are completely unfamiliar with the Southern Continent. Going there alone is extremely dangerous; we might not even make it back.”
“Indeed, the Southern Continent is not simple,” Zhang Qianyi nodded, “Compared to our Great Flame and Qiguang in the north, the sects in the Southern Continent have a more focused training for geniuses. If you encounter disciples from the top ten sects, Su Xing Lord, do not let your guard down.”
“I understand. Thank you both for the reminder.” Su Yuan smiled, “As for matters within the department, please take care of them on my behalf.”
Zhang Qianyi waved his hand and said, “It’s our duty anyway.”
Shen Die also nodded and then asked, “When do you plan to leave, Su Xing Lord?”
Su Yuan replied, “There is still a Star Device being forged at the Miracle Workshop. I will leave as soon as I get it.”
“Is that so…” Shen Die stared at Su Yuan, nodding.
Zhang Qianyi smiled and said, “It is said that the Star Device of Su Xing Lord is one of the nine Star Devices treasured by the Fourth Artifact Research Institute? They are all top-notch Epic Star Devices, truly enviable.”
Su Yuan laughed, “Although it is a top-notch Star Device, reforging it does not guarantee success. I hope everything goes well…”
At that moment, the Communication Talisman on Su Yuan suddenly moved.
Su Yuan took the Communication Talisman and his eyes immediately brightened.
“Oh?” Zhang Qianyi looked at Su Yuan’s expression and chuckled, “Could it be that your Star Device has been reforged successfully?”
“It really is.” Su Yuan stood up with a smile, “The grandmaster of the Miracle Workshop asked me to fetch the Star Device as soon as possible. In that case, I will see you both next time.”
As Su Yuan was going to the Southern Continent, who knew when they would meet again.
Zhang Qianyi and Shen Die stood up and said, “Su Xing Lord, take care of yourself.”
Su Yuan saw them off and looked in the direction of the Miracle Workshop, feeling a surge of anticipation. His figure blurred, then he hurried over…
At the Miracle Workshop, in the room of Elder Wei at the Fourth Artifact Research Institute.
“You finally came!” Elder Wei kept stroking a section of the chain in his hand, unable to suppress his excitement, “The Heavenly Lock, its reforging is complete!”
Su Yuan looked at the reforged Heavenly Lock. It was still about a foot long, with a sharp front end and a rounded back end.
However, its color had changed from silver to a golden hue, emitting a radiant golden light with a strong texture, appearing extremely fine and luxurious.
Elder Wei laughed, “Come, give it a try!”
“Alright!” Su Yuan took a deep breath and received the golden chain from Elder Wei’s hand.
Its touch was cold, yet there was a harmonious feeling.
[Heavenly Lock]
[Grade: Epic]
[Element: Space, Gold]
[Introduction: A chain from ancient times of unknown origin with mystical powers.]
[Effect: ‘Legend Name,’ the more renowned, ancient, and widespread the target, the stronger the binding effect.]
Su Yuan injected Star Power and directly bound the Heavenly Lock.
“Elder Wei, I’ll take you to my Small World to test it.”
“Small World?”
Elder Wei was puzzled. The next moment, Su Yuan pulled him into the Qingming Realm Subspace 1.
“What is this?”
Elder Wei was surprised, looking around. Suddenly, thunderous roars echoed from above. In an instant, several bolts of Heavenly Thunder descended together!
“Heavenly Lock!”
With a thought, golden light surged at Su Yuan’s feet, and several golden chains shot up towards the descending thunder.
Where the golden light passed, all the descending Thunder Light shattered upon impact.
The Five Thunders Heavenly Gang Formation operated at full power, countless lightning bolts fell like rain from the sky.
Yet, under the protection of the golden chains, not a single bolt could touch Su Yuan!
“Boom!”
A massive explosion sounded. It was the combined burst of the nine Bing Fire Divine Thunder! The Fire Element restrained the Gold Element slightly, but several Heavenly Locks shot up and burst the nine Bing Fire Yang Thunders directly!
As the red lightning dissipated, Su Yuan raised his hand and the chains all flew back. The golden glow on the chains was vibrant without a trace of damage.
“Amazing!”
Su Yuan’s eyes brightened. The nine-fold Bing Fire Yang Thunder was his second-tier attack method, yet it couldn’t affect the Heavenly Lock at all!
Elder Wei stroked his beard with a satisfied smile, “With Void Gold, the reforged Heavenly Lock is not only harder and more flexible, but its attack power is also greatly enhanced, balancing its control ability! Even among all Epic Star Devices, it’s top tier!”
Su Yuan nodded, “Then, let’s test the control effect.”
With a thought, Mo Fei, who was cultivating in the Main Space, was immediately transferred.
“Master!” Mo Fei spoke in a deep voice.
“You have an Ink Qilin?” Elder Wei was a bit surprised, examining Mo Fei closely, “Also, this Ink Qilin’s aura is brimming, Star Power overflowing, it must be close to breaking through to Radiant Moon.”
Since being subdued by Su Yuan, Mo Fei had been cultivating in the Qingming Realm, borrowing the Phoenix Vein for cultivation. Not only had its size grown, but its black scales also had a deep luster like obsidian.
“Hmm, it has almost one foot in Radiant Moon.” Su Yuan smiled, then raised his hand, golden chains of the Heavenly Lock shot out.
Though the ends were incredibly sharp, Mo Fei suppressed his instinct to dodge and remained motionless.
Under Su Yuan’s control, the chains did not pierce Mo Fei but coiled around its body.
“Mo Fei, break free with all your might.”
“As you command, Master!”
Mo Fei roared, bursting with power. The chains tightened instantly.
Its body expanded, muscles bulged, vast Star Power surged, transforming into raging black energy, almost breaking the chains apart!
The immense pressure of Mo Fei’s terrifying physical strength made Su Yuan’s expression tense.
At that moment, luminescent white Divine Patterns appeared on the chains.
With their emergence, they tightened, binding Mo Fei completely!
Su Yuan’s eyes flickered, “Legend Name?”
Elder Wei nodded slowly, “The Ink Qilin, too, is a famed Epic Star Beast from ancient times. Its legendary status ensures stronger binding from the Heavenly Lock.”
“I thought it only worked on individuals. So, it works on the species too?”
“Yes, but the effect is weaker.”
Watching Mo Fei immobilized, Su Yuan silently exclaimed.
The effect… wasn’t weak at all!
Elder Wei chuckled, “With this lock, even at Shining Star level, if you face renowned strong individuals or ancient Star Beasts, you could bind Radiant Moon level. Perhaps even Burning Sun for a moment!”
Binding Burning Sun…
Su Yuan gazed at the Heavenly Lock, his excitement growing.
Seeing Mo Fei could not break free, Su Yuan lifted a hand, retracting the chains into his body.
Mo Fei sighed in relief, but was deeply amazed by the Heavenly Lock’s power!
The test complete, Su Yuan and Elder Wei left the Qingming Realm, joy still lingering in his heart.
“Thank you, Elder Wei, for reforging this treasure. Its power is beyond the old Heavenly Lock.”
Elder Wei, pleased with the reforging, laughed heartily, “No need for flattery. Since you brought Void Gold, I had to forge it better, or it would be a failure!”
Su Yuan nodded in agreement.
With the Heavenly Lock in hand, Su Yuan didn’t linger, bidding farewell to Elder Wei.
All set, Su Yuan returned to Zhu Garden, packed his things, and sent a message to Wang Xu.
Soon, Wang Xu arrived, leading Su Yuan to the north of the Sky Patrol Department…
In the depths of the Sky Patrol Department, an abandoned square in front of a secluded tower.
Wang Xu addressed a sturdy, stern-faced middle-aged man ahead, “Yan Envoy, this is Su Yuan Star Lord, who will use the Transmission Array.”
The man scrutinized Su Yuan but showed no disdain for his Shining Star level, bowing slightly.
“I am Xuanwu Imperial Envoy Yan Xing. Su Xing Lord, I have long heard of your great achievements in the New Dust Realm.”
Su Yuan also bowed in return, “Yan Envoy, I am here to use the Transmission Array to the Southern Continent. I have already applied; now it’s up to you.”
Yan Xing replied, “It’s our duty. However, this array requires many Star Stones to activate. Although you are at Shining Star level, it will still need 200 million cent Star Stones. Are you prepared?”
“Of course.” Su Yuan took out a ring and handed it to Yan Xing.
Yan Xing checked, exactly 200 million cent Star Stones.
“No problem. Please step into the array, Su Xing Lord.”
“Alright.”
Su Yuan entered the Transmission Array. He had no idea when it was set up, its runes obscure and ancient.
While adjusting the array, Yan Xing explained the transmission details.
“This transmission will take a long time. Though it’s random, we aim to land in low Star Power concentration areas for safety…”
Su Yuan listened intently. Soon, Yan Xing finished adjusting the array, drawing out a control talisman.
“Su Xing Lord, if you are ready, we can begin.”
Su Yuan bowed to Wang Xu, “Wang Envoy, please inform the department of my departure.”
Wang Xu smiled, “Don’t worry. The Imperial Throne approved. Just go without concern.”
Su Yuan nodded, then told Yan Xing, “Please send me over, Yan Envoy.”
“Alright.”
Yan Xing activated the control talisman.
Instantly, countless Star Powers were drawn from the surrounding Star Stones. The array’s runes lit up, operating at high speed.
Soon, silver light burst from the array, and in a flash, Su Yuan vanished…
