Chapter 1035 - Shadow Scepter (1/2)

The light grew into a sphere with a 1.5-meter diameter before slowly falling towards Raphael. The light scattered, and a book seemingly made of metal floated in front of Raphael.

The book was forty centimeters long and almost twenty centimeters thick. On top of it was a name written in ancient Nesser Language.

“It’s actually a magic book! It’s a book called – Multiple Array Structure Formula – written by Bill George.”

Raphael opened the book, and the first page didn’t have a single letter. There were only countless runes and array structures. The runes and array patterns kept changing irregularly, seeming very complex.

But Raphael only took one glance before being shocked. He then unhesitantly put the magic book away.

Lin Yun’s pupils shrank when he heard Bill George’s name.

‘Bill George’s magic book is in here? And it’s – Multiple Array Structure Formula – which should only appear after three more millennia?

Even the simplest core technology of the future magic battleships that campaigned through countless places had been developed using this Multiple Array Structure Formula.

The appearance of that magic book a few millennia later even caused a dozen forces to wage wars that ended up involving most of Noscent’s countries.

It ultimately developed into a desperate struggle among first-rate Heaven Rank powerhouses, and nineteen planes were destroyed because of the fighting.

If not for those last peace talks and the sharing of the contents of the magic book with everyone, those angry mages would have even destroyed Noscent ahead of its time.

The value of that magic book was not inferior to an Extraordinary Magic Tool, and for an alchemy-specialized force, it was worth more than an Extraordinary Magic Tool.

But that magic book didn’t seem to be intact. Even during the peak of Noscent, the – Multiple Arrays Structure Formula – was a meter tall and fifty centimeters thick.

Although it wasn’t complete, the techniques would certainly exceed the Sky City’s technology. It would also be very difficult for them to comprehend, and to Raphael, that magic book was more valuable than a first-rate True Spirit Magic Tool.

With Raphael as an example, the other immediately understood.

“This is a reward?” someone asked with uncertainty.

Morgan unhesitantly moved over and put his hand on this magic imprint.

In an instant, the golden liquid surged once more within the translucent liquid and rapidly reached three meters before stabilizing. Light blossomed from that wall again, and wisps converged into a sphere of light that floated in front of Morgan.

The rays of light emitted by the light sphere dissipated, and a palm-sized scale appeared. The scale looked like a dragon scale at first, but it actually had a rhombus shape. There were layers of decorative patterns that formed an alchemy pattern. Then, the patterns on both sides of the scale converged into a whole, creating a complete circuit.

Morgan looked disappointed as he only saw a scale appearing. He casually took the scale and checked it, unable to see how precious it was.

“This is the scale of a Void Behemoth. After growing to adulthood, a Void Behemoth would be a Peak Heaven Rank lifeform at the very least, and the strongest among them surpass the Heaven Rank. They could compare to a Greater Demon Overlord.

“Their scales are innate True Spirit Magic Tools, and even while lacking a Magic Tool Incarnation, their defensive power is still superior to some weaker defensive Magic Tools. Moreover, they are extremely hard, to the point where even a Void Storm would be unable to damage it. Just look for an alchemist that is an expert at forging Magic Tools to process it, and it would be like possessing a second life.

“From the quality of that scale, the owner of the scale should have been a very powerful Void Behemoth.”

Lin Yun’s eyes shone with surprise as he saw that scale. He originally thought that Noscent didn’t possess this kind of thing, so he hadn’t expected to see something like this in here.

In Noscent’s Planar Colonization Era, countless magic battleships were able to travel through the void, and the Void Behemoths were the biggest threats. They were even more dangerous than a deadly environment.

Some of the main structure of the Shelter Tower had been made out of the corpse of a Void Behemoth that had surpassed the Heaven Rank.

Lin Yun casually talked about the origin of the scale, but even if he had said nothing, Morgan would have discovered that as long as he poured mana within, the scale would independently form a defense around him like it was an innate Magic Tool.

Morgan beamed in delight as he put away the scale. As someone very much afraid of death, a defensive power was something he was fond of.

After Morgan was done, the others walked over in succession, and everyone went to the imprint that belonged to them. Every time someone put their hands against their imprint, golden liquid would fill the transparent pillar.

As the height of the golden liquid differed, the things everyone obtained were different. From that point on, the first to go over were the subordinates of every major force.

Aside from valuable materials, they also obtained some magic books, Spiritual Magic Tools, and all kinds of other things. They also obtained some strange things that no one recognized.

After a dozen people in a row, Raphael thoughtfully nodded.

“Have you noticed, every time someone goes over, the height to which that golden liquid rises is different. The higher it rises, the more precious the reward.

“Moreover, the height of the golden liquid is proportional to the speed at which we passed the Path of Heroes. The faster we went through it, the greater the reward.”

After Raphael said those words, the group of people busy looking at their newly acquired treasures immediately came to a realization. After thinking carefully, it truly seemed like this was the case.

After the subordinates went to collect their rewards first, a few leaders went to receive their own rewards.

After Jouyi pressed his hand against his unique magic imprint, the golden liquid within the pillar rose a bit over two meters and he obtained a magic book called – Starry Sky Mirage –.

He looked pleasantly surprised as he held the book. Although it was a seemingly ordinary magic book, it was actually worth more than a True Spirit Magic Tool to Jouyi.
