In the depths of the dark and gloomy underground space, there are dilapidated ancient ruins looming all around.

Surrounded by several broken and decaying stone pillars in the middle, Xia Ran stood in front of a stone platform where the outline of the shrine could barely be seen, stretched out his left hand and picked up an item enshrined on the platform, his right hand still holding the handle of the ebony blade, and the ebony blade hung down.

In the darkness not far behind him, lay a giant creeper that had lost all its life, its fine black scales faintly visible, and the sharp arthropods that grew on both sides and were so dense that it made the scalp tingle......

Like a giant python, like a alien centipede, it's more like a combination of the two.

In fact, this is a super giant Charus poisonous insect, and I don't know if it is entrenched here, absorbing the pure power of the demon artifact, and it has grown to this point without limit.

The body length has reached more than twenty meters, the carapace's defense is extremely thick, and the self-healing ability is terrifying, the venom sprayed is simply more deadly than the acidic blood of the alien, the corrosive is unreasonable, and it can even melt the soil when it falls to the ground......

Coupled with the strength that was enough to open mountains and crack rocks, unimaginable agility, and the performance of being cunning enough to be called intelligent and not like a low-level arthropod, Xia Ran had a certain difficulty in hunting.

However, in the end, it was he who won, and this super giant Charus poisonous insect became his points and two free attribute points.

Xia Ran did not let his guard down, still focused most of his attention on the surroundings, and then distracted himself to check the properties of the object in his hand. At the same time, the moment he picked up this thing, a powerful force was directly blessed on his body!

Obsidian Pod ......

Just listening to this name, probably no one would have imagined that this would actually be a demon artifact, but Mephala was completely right, and there was no need to deceive Xia Ran in this matter.

So after finally finding the dilapidated altar and getting this strange object, Xia Ran couldn't wait to directly check its attributes and confirm that this thing was indeed another demon god of the Whispering Lady.

Although it's different from the Ebony Blade, it's not the positioning of the weapon, but something similar to a support accessory, but the power is just as terrifying-

"Name: Obsidian Pod"

"Category: Equipment (Special)"

Rarity: Legendary

"Main attribute 1: Divine core - inside the pod is a small piece of the essence of Mephalah, and the energy emitted alone can give the holder a powerful blessing, which can enhance the holder's full attribute by 20 points, and greatly increase the speed of vitality recovery and mana recovery."

"Main attribute 2: Annihilation Breath - The material itself is a fragment from the Annihilation Domain, combined with the essence of Mephala, the radiated aura can erode the surrounding space, creating an otherworldly domain effect, and the flow of time is greatly slowed down compared to the outside world, and the holder can control it by combining enchantment-type abilities."

"Primary Attribute 3: Dedra's Authority (Chaos Vortex) - This artifact allows the wielder to share some of Mepharah's power, and can summon Mephalah's priests or demons in his realm, or control the power of that plane when he is in Mephalah's realm of annihilation."

"Special Effect: Whispering Goddess's Gaze - The owner of this artifact will establish a direct connection with Mepharah, and will always be under the watchful eye of the Demon God"

"Comments: It's a strange artifact, what appears to be an obsidian pod, but made of a fragment from the Realm of Annihilation, which encapsulates a small piece of the essence that Mephala was trapped in. But whatever its origin, its power is unquestionable, and the only thing worth caring about is what exactly made it was made for......

…………

"......" Xia Ran didn't feel happy at all, but after seeing the specific attributes clearly, even his expression froze all of a sudden.

Strictly speaking, the power of this artifact is indeed worthy of its name as a demon artifact, and it is completely worth it for Xia Ran to make a special trip for it, but what the hell is ...... "Essence of Mephala"?

Is it understandable to become a fragment of the origin of His existence? Is it an extension of the Demon God's orthophysical existence?!

In an instant, he felt that the pod in his hand had completely turned into a hot potato, and he almost subconsciously wanted to throw it far away, and then left this ghost place without looking back.

But an extremely dangerous sensation instantly came from his intuition, stinging his cerebral cortex and nerves all over his body......

Before Xia Ran's action could be made, it was directly terminated in advance, he slowly put down his hand, exhaled softly, and waited for the sense of crisis to subside, before he glanced at the special effect with a very complicated look-

"The Whispering Goddess's Gaze"

At this moment, he felt that he had fully understood, this demon artifact was definitely an important follow-up to Mephalah, and he had concluded from the beginning that he would definitely come to find it.

Because the Ring of the Tiger Man is not in Skyrim Province, and it has a dangerous history, and as long as you think about the time cost, you actually have only one choice. In the final analysis, it was also because Xia Ran had long understood that he could only go one way to the dark, so after accepting the reality, he decided to maximize his interests as much as possible.

He wouldn't give up a demon artifact, whether it was for his own use or to take it back and sell it. After all, Mephala will not let him go, no matter whether he adopts a shrinking strategy and does nothing, or does his best to gather wool for profit, it will not change this fact.

In this case, there is naturally only one choice - life is like that, if you can't resist, you can only enjoy it.

Moreover, even if Xia Ran really didn't do anything, the demon artifact would be directly abandoned, and it wouldn't change anything substantial. Because Mefala definitely can't stop fishing because he doesn't bite the bait, at most it's just a change of plan.

"Let's hope the protective measures in the white space are strong enough......"

Xia Ran gritted his teeth and tentatively threw this thing into the inventory, cutting off contact with the outside world.

The incomparable sense of power of the all-attribute amplification, as well as the vitality that can overflow, as if a steady stream of infinite magic power gushing out of his body, the feeling brought by these amplification blessings faded in an instant, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of loss.

However, Xia Ran's will was firm enough, and he quickly returned to normal, and secretly warned himself not to be tempted by this sugar-coated cannonball.

After waiting for a while, there was no terrible danger falling from the sky, which made him subconsciously breathe a sigh of relief, it seemed that Mephala absolutely couldn't tolerate all he was going to discard this thing, and as long as he took this thing away, even if it was put in the inventory, there would be no problem.

This situation did not make him feel much relaxed, but only made his scalp tingle even more, this thing was definitely a very important part of Mepharah's plan, he must allow himself to take this thing out of this world and into the white space.

Is this His plan for smuggling?

A piece of essence that was split a long time ago?

Xia Ran frowned, and the next moment, he suddenly felt an indescribable huge horror, his intuition had never triggered such a powerful alarm, it almost made him think that the end of the world was coming!

There is about to be a huge catastrophe from the sky?!

Wait, did you ignore something, the demon artifact just now seems to have an attribute that erodes the nearby space on its own, creating an otherworldly domain phenomenon, and the flow of time in it will be greatly slowed down compared to the outside world?

Then the question arises, in the difficult process of approaching this magic artifact and trying his best to break the obstacles, does this effect still exist? Maybe you feel like time hasn't passed, but the outside world is likely to be ......

Xia Ran knows very well how the stay time in this world is calculated, and it has an overall standard.

Even if the time of his subjective perception has not passed for a long time, when the whole world outside has changed dramatically, and the law of cause and effect has been chaotic to the extreme, the time of stay has already come to an end.

It was also very simple to determine this matter, he just opened the system information and glanced at it, and immediately confirmed such a possibility.

The lingering time is flashing red, and it's not like there are months or days or hours left......

It's counting down, as if it's heralding something terrible.

……

……

Snowy City.

At the top of the golden tower in the Genting District, the eyes of that figure are like a mirror, indicating that this "person" has the wisdom to correctly understand the universe, correctly understand the differences and connections between various phenomena, as well as the causes and effects of each, without the slightest confusion.

"Long Po...... Here we go. ”

"He," he said, sighing, with a vague smile in his tone.

It's hard to interpret the concept of Dragon Break literally, it's a timeline-breaking horror phenomenon that can disassemble a timeline into multiple timelines, and finally choose the results you need from them to integrate...... That is, the theological act of changing the worldline and revising historical cause and effect.

Because in this world, the god of time is worshipped by mortals in the form of a dragon and is given the concept of a dragon, so this behavior is called "dragon breaking".

Speaking of which, the birth of the time dragon god Akatosh is due to the fact that the thousand-year-old dragon break tampered with the world line - if you absolutely observe it from the timeline, then before the dragon break event of the First Age, there was no "dragon god Akatosh" in this world.

Only Acre existed at the time of the creation of the world, i.e., the god of time. As for the dragon god, Akatosh, which essentially appeared after the formation of the imperial spirit system, is a very late concept and is not a real god.

But because the Alesian Sect caused a terrible dragon break in order to contend with Aureel-

In order to make the god they believe in truly born, the crazy believers danced on the Platinum Pagoda in the center of the universe, performed special magic rituals with the Staff of Chaos, and "exploded" the concept of Akatosh from the elven sun god "Orielle".

Since Oreel aka is equivalent to time itself, this magical ritual blew the timeline itself into multiple fragments and modified all the history from creation to the Dragonbreaker event, which allowed the historical fact that "Akatosh was the Dragon God of Time from the beginning" was established, and the Dragon God of Time later came to the top of the timeline.
