Desolate Era: Hatching a Phoenix at the Beginning Novel - Chapter 210

Chapter 210: Substitute Dharma Treasure

Ye Chen was shocked.

Little Purple seemed to be frightened too. It did not have the time to say anything to Ye Chen and only quickly thickened the Ice Fire Armor that covered Ye Chen and it.

However, it was useless. In less than a second, the Ice Fire Armor that Little Purple had reinforced was quickly shattered, emitting a loud shattering sound.

Ye Chen finally knew where the series of explosions came from. Little Purple must have been creating the Ice Fire Armor behind it while escaping the crack after those silver threads attacked it. And the sound of the silver threads constantly breaking through the obstruction and advancing was the sound of the explosion.

However, it was useless to know the source of the sound now. The silver threads had already completely broken through the Ice Fire Armor and rushed towards Ye Chen.

He quickly used the Fire Melting Art to deal with the silver threads that were already in front of him. He grabbed Little Purple and planned to use his extreme speed to escape.

However, Little Purple was clearly faster. It quickly swung its tail and swept Ye Chen to the ground, protecting him with its body.

Ye Chen was instantly speechless.

“Why are you protecting me? Let’s escape together!” This was what he wanted to say the most at the moment.

However, this fall brought about a turn for the better.

When Ye Chen was tripped, the thing that he had taken out not too long ago, the huge stone that contained the Giant God’s Heart, was sent flying by Little Purple’s inertia.

As the Giant God’s Heart flew out, the silver thread also changed direction. It left the dumbfounded Ye Chen behind and rushed towards the Giant God’s Heart, catching it steadily in midair.

“Is it here for this?” Ye Chen pushed away the tail that Little Purple was protecting him with a confused expression.

Little Purple looked as confused as he did.

“Master, I don’t know. I was observing the situation in the hidden space just now when I saw those silver tentacles attached to the statue. Then, the silver light on the stone pillar suddenly became much brighter. I saw that the core of the stone pillar seemed to be filled with things similar to those tentacles and it was all coiled together while I was observing with the Titan’s Eye. I wanted to take a closer look, but they surged out of the stone pillar and turned into many silver threads, all rushing towards the crack where I was hiding. Then, I escaped while defending…”

It repeated everything it had seen before and then shifted its puzzled gaze to Ye Chen. “Master, what are they doing?”

What appeared in front of it was a huge gray stone that was being rapidly decomposed.

When Ye Chen cut down the tunnel wall with the Giant God’s Heart from the mental world, Little Purple and Monkey had seen it with their own eyes through the Titan’s Eye. However, the scene in front of them still exceeded their understanding.

Under the entanglement of countless silver threads, the gray tunnel wall was quickly cut open. A large number of silver threads quickly cut it open. The crisp sound of gravel falling kept coming. After a while, the large gray stone had been completely disintegrated and a faintly discernible purple lump appeared in the middle of the silver threads.

Immediately after, there were a few more faint sounds of knives cutting through flesh. A few pieces of purple gel fell off the lump. Below, a golden unknown object was revealed and was immediately wrapped around by the silver threads.

“Oh no, they want to destroy the Giant God’s Heart!” Ye Chen was shocked.

However, what he was worried about didn’t happen. The silver threads didn’t destroy the completely exposed Giant God’s Heart. Instead, they wrapped around it layer by layer, quickly wrapping it into a shuttle-shaped silver cocoon that floated in the air.

At this moment, no more silver threads appeared from the holes in the stone wall. Meanwhile, a system notification appeared.

[Reminder: The Substitute Dharma treasure (unnamed) is already in the synthesis stage. Please contact it and activate the Titan God Command.]

Ye Chen stared at the system notification as his mind raced.

If what Little Purple said was right, the silver threads were indeed formed from the silver human figure and silver tentacles that he had seen before. Then, this thing that was called a Substitute Dharma treasure must be the Titan God Dharma treasure mentioned on the stone pillar.

From the looks of it, the Dharma treasure should have been divided into two parts. One part was represented by the silver human figure, and the other was the Giant God’s Heart. When the two were in the mental world, they would not fuse due even though they were in a balanced state. When the balance point in the mental world disappeared and a path could be connected between the two, they would change their forms and fuse with each other to form this Substitute Dharma treasure.

However, there should be other conditions.

The words carved on the stone pillar said that the Dharma treasure would wait for the descendant chosen by the Titan God and recognize the other party as their new master. Therefore, before they really met their new master, they probably wouldn’t fuse.

And who was the new master…

Ye Chen smiled.

He would be too obtuse if he still could not recognize his identity after seeing the face of the silver human figure.

He walked forward and touched the floating silver cocoon according to the system notification.

In an instant, the silver cocoon changed. Its appearance was no longer shuttle-shaped but began to change. Gradually, a human figure appeared from it.

Ye Chen saw the face that was almost identical to his own again.

This shimmering silver human figure was somewhat different from what Ye Chen had seen in Little Purple’s vision before. Its limbs were no longer attached to the other parts of its body but were clearly separated. In addition, its body also seemed to be softer. After Ye Chen retracted his hand, it fell from the sky and quickly got up, looking up at Ye Chen.

There were no eyeballs in his eyes. There was only a flowing golden color, the same color as the Giant God’s Heart.

A few seconds after it opened its eyes and looked at Ye Chen, the dazzling silver color on its body faded away. All the colors on Ye Chen’s body seemed to have been replicated and were restored on its body bit by bit.

[Reminder: Substitute Dharma Treasure (unnamed) has recognized a master. Please use it appropriately.]

“Master, it has become like you!” Little Purple exclaimed.

Ye Chen nodded and opened the data panel.

In the data panel of the mutated beasts, he didn’t find anything new, which meant that the Substitute Dharma treasure wasn’t considered as a mutated beast.

Therefore, he placed his finger on the Substitute Dharma treasure again.

The information appeared.
