Chapter 2255: Taming the Meteor

"Where is this Emperor's Ultimate Pill?" Zhang Xuan asked.

"I don't know where it is. In four tides, I've only seen it once, and I was nearly killed..." Ao Feng said.

"You don't know?"

"This pill not only has its own consciousness but has also transformed into a human form. It excels at hiding and ambushing, making it impossible to guard against. Ao Ye, the Sealed God King of our Cloud Dragon Heaven, was killed by its ambush!"

Ao Feng shook his head.

The Tide Sea had traps, dangerous places, and hidden ambushers, but if there was one thing he feared most, it was this Emperor's Ultimate Pill!

Transforming into a pill and hiding in narrow places, it released no aura at all. If it ambushed you, it was impossible to defend against.

Last time, he had been completely unaware. If not for the timely passing of Tianzong Emperor's many disciples, he would likely have perished and become its nourishment.

"Where did you see it last time?"

"Meteor Lake!" Ao Feng nodded.

Meteor Lake was a dangerous place in the Tide Sea. Various meteorites flew chaotically, crisscrossing like a formation. Unless one sought precious treasures, even top-tier Sealed God Kings dared not enter easily.

"Let's go take a look."

Knowing the location, Zhang Xuan took the two, tore through space, and arrived before it.

Before their eyes lay a vast lake surface. Countless long-tailed meteors radiated dazzling light as they drifted within. Occasionally, two collided, producing thunderous roars and ripples, tearing black cracks in space.

"The most dangerous thing inside isn't these meteors or their collisions, but the bizarre and ever-changing gravity!"

Looking at the lake before him, Ao Feng's expression turned grave. "These meteors fly chaotically precisely because the gravity is disorderly and changes at any moment!"

Zhang Xuan frowned.

He had experienced gravity changes on the Heavenly Bridge of the Upper Firmament. Back then, simply shifting vertical gravity to horizontal had nearly overwhelmed his spatial sense.

Now, before him, Meteor Lake had various meteorites flying chaotically, like ping-pong balls falling into a barrel...

If the gravity all aligned with the direction of these meteors, forget about entering to find the so-called Emperor's Ultimate Pill—even just adapting perfectly would likely take a long time!

"I'll try."

Shocked, he extended his divine sense inward. Soon after entering, his face grew paler.

As he had imagined, not only the physical body but even the soul entering would be affected by gravity, requiring constant changes to adapt. It was like falling into a tumble dryer, dizzying and disorienting.

Luo Qiqi took out a longsword and casually tossed it in. It spun wildly inside, like a fly trapped under a glass jar.

Bang!

After circling a few times, under the crushing gravity, it could no longer bear it. The weapon spirit was ground away, and the weapon disintegrated.

The three looked at each other.

The gravity was so chaotic that even a top-grade Divine Lord weapon couldn't withstand it. The thought was terrifying.

"With such chaotic gravity, how did you get in?"

Luo Qiqi looked to the side.

"Actually, I didn't go in. I was ambushed outside..." Ao Feng's face reddened.

Zhang Xuan nodded.

No wonder.

Even he found the place daunting. The other was merely an ordinary Sealed God King; entering deeply would indeed be difficult.

"I'll go in and take a look. Don't act rashly."

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Xuan channeled a sword intent from his dantian, covering his body. With a slight flicker, he entered the lake before him.

Sizzle!

The moment he stepped in, he felt a powerful tearing force rolling in, as if trying to shred him to pieces.

His muscles bulged as his strength surged, anchoring him like a reef, unmoving.

The gravity around him churned endlessly, crashing like waves. Zhang Xuan adapted for a moment, then strode inward.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two meteors, drawn by gravitational pull, rushed toward him. Drawing his longsword, Zhang Xuan lightly slashed.

The two meteorites split apart from the middle, producing a series of mushroom clouds.

"Such hard meteorites... Good stuff!"

Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up.

He had wondered why even top-grade Divine Lord peak weapons couldn't withstand the gravity's grinding, yet these meteorites remained unharmed. It turned out these stones were as hard as God King-level weapons.

"Pity they can't be forged into weapons. But if I could collect these meteorites and hurl them at a strong opponent, the power would be considerable..."

His Insight Eye stirred. After observing for a while, he understood that these stones were essentially one-time-use resources, unable to be reforged. Still, if he could collect them, they would be formidable weapons.

But...

These meteors were so fast—how could he collect them?

"Too fast. If I directly store them in a storage ring, the ring would be pierced, and the stable space inside would be shattered..."

Affected by gravity, these meteors were fast and powerful. Normal divine space could hardly stabilize them. Rashly collecting them would cause the storage ring to collapse instantly, reducing everything inside to ashes.

As for stabilizing them first—with his current strength, he couldn't even do that!

Under the immense gravity, it was hard enough to stabilize himself. Making all these massive meteorites stop was nearly impossible.

"Although these meteorites can't be forged into weapons, judging by their hardness, they are themselves extremely hard weapons, similar to my refined brick... Since they're weapons, can I perform spirit awakening on them?"

A thought struck him.

The brick he had refined was also blunt, heavy, and hard. Though inferior to these meteorites, its attack method was similar.

If he could awaken their spirits, perhaps he could easily stop them and smoothly store them in a storage ring.

"Let's try!"

With that thought, he stopped resisting the gravity and rode the force toward a meteorite. In an instant, he arrived before it and placed his hand on it.

...

Outside Meteor Lake.

"With so many meteorites and chaotic gravity, will Senior Zhang be alright?"

Seeing Zhang Xuan fly in, Ao Feng said.

"I'm not sure either. The gravity here is chaotic, the space chaotic. Even I can't stabilize myself. Master Zhang, I'm worried he might get hurt by meteor impacts..." Luo Qiqi showed deep concern.

The meteors flew everywhere. Entering, one could easily be attacked. The danger was many times greater than places like mountain streams.

Even she, a weapon spirit with strong spatial control, found it hard to navigate smoothly. He would likely find it even harder!

"I think so too. These meteors are terrifying. If I went in, I probably couldn't last ten seconds..."

Ao Feng nodded. Just as he was about to continue, his face suddenly stiffened. He saw that inside Meteor Lake, a young man stood still, while countless meteors roamed around him, occasionally bouncing and acting cute, like a pack of tamed stray dogs.
