Legend of Swordsman

The maximum defense could withstand attacks from ordinary Eighth Tribulation realm experts.

Then there’s the black hole-level shield.

Currently, the pyramid could only deploy a shield at the level of a black hole.

It could withstand attacks of up to 15 million units of divine power.

Once the shield is broken, further attacks on the pyramid could weaken the assault, but it would also cause damage to the pyramid itself.

When the Blood Demon Temple Master attacked them before, the pyramid’s autonomous shield was at this level.

Upon hearing this, Jian Wushuang couldn’t sit still and quickly asked the question that concerned him the most, “Babata, isn’t the pyramid itself capable of absorbing divine power attacks?”

“Master, absorbing divine power attacks requires a kind of essence called Black Radiance Essence, and the absorbed attacks would also harm the pyramid itself. In simple terms, activating the star shield can absorb attacks below ten million divine power, but it will consume the Black Radiance Essence. Once the Black Radiance Essence is depleted, it can no longer absorb.”

After Babata finished explaining, Jian Wushuang slumped into the throne. This was quite different from what he had imagined.

There are no free lunches in the world.

Absorbing divine power attacks could empower the shield and create Life warriors.

But it requires a more special treasure.

“Black Radiance Essence!”

He had no idea what that was.

“Master, don’t worry. The Black Radiance Essence can be said to be the energy center of the pyramid’s interior, and it is needed in all aspects!” With a flick of his hand, Babata pulled out the internal structure diagram of the pyramid and continued to explain, pointing at the blueprint, “After talking about defense, let’s talk about offense. The divine power required for attacks also needs the support of Black Radiance Essence, otherwise, pure divine power cannot reach that level of power.”

The levels of attack are similar to defense.

There are four levels in the cosmic realm.

Star, black hole, secret realm, and universe.

To unleash a star attack, one must first inject 10 million divine power, and then, with the addition of Black Radiance Essence, it can erupt into a true peak attack, capable of severely injuring an ordinary peak Eighth Tribulation expert.

It can even instantly kill top-tier experts of the Eighth Tribulation realm.

A black hole attack can reach up to 15 million divine power.

The pyramid’s attack is currently at the customized secret realm level.

With divine power reaching up to 20 million.

Of course, it also consumes a lot of Black Radiance Essence.

When the Blood Demon Temple Master attacked the pyramid, triggering its self-defense mechanism, the resulting attack was at the secret realm level.

Similar to the power of the attack on Chi Jiuxiao back then.

As for the Universe level, it requires even more Black Radiance Essence, which the pyramid currently doesn’t have in such abundance.

After listening to the explanations on defense and attack, Jian Wushuang couldn’t sit still anymore and hurriedly asked, “What exactly is the Black Radiance Essence?”

Now he understood that the operation of the pyramid depended on this thing. He needed to get more of it.

“The Black Radiance Essence is an extremely dark substance, a special product of the mechanical clan, similar to the Origin Source of cultivators! To be precise, it is the primordial stone bred within the master’s universe!”

Jian Wushuang slapped his head. Knowing its origin, he felt dumbfounded.

Where was he going to get it?

There probably wasn’t any in the entire Northern Spacetime.

Old man Tian Cang must be aware of this, yet he hadn’t mentioned it proactively, indicating he didn’t have it either.

“Realm God Continent!” Jian Wushuang’s eyes lit up as he thought of the Realm God Continent.

There were strong beings from the four major spacetimes there.

Surely, there must be members of the Machine Clan there.

Even the powerful beings from the Starry Sky practiced there.

All the gods of the Northern Spacetime were in the Realm God Continent.

Perhaps he could only get it there.

But now his Realm God Token had been given away.

Even if it hadn’t, he couldn’t possibly go to the Realm God Continent now!

“Babata, how much Black Radiance Essence is left now?”

“There are seventeen units left!”

“Can it sustain a secret realm-level attack?”

“It can sustain one secret realm-level attack, seventeen black hole-level attacks, and one

hundred and seventy star-level attacks!” Babata explained in detail.

Universe-level attacks required 100 units of Essence of Black Radiance, and they could only be

used after the pyramid was fully repaired.

He didn’t dare to think about that.

Sustaining one secret realm-level attack was probably enough.

But he couldn’t use the secret realm-level shield anymore, only the black hole-level shield.

As for divine power, that was simple.

He could create a divine power avatar and continuously infuse it with divine power.

The pyramid still had one crucial function left: producing Life warriors.

This also required Black Radiance Essence. Star-level Life warriors possessed tens of millions of divine power. If he wanted to create a perfect star-level warrior, with defenses and attacks

comparable to a peak Eighth Tribulation realm expert, he would need 10 units of Black

Radiance Essence.

Jian Wushuang immediately dismissed this idea.

It was too extravagant.

He didn’t lack Life or divine power.

What he lacked were Black Radiance Essences, and the perfect star-level warrior required

some treasures from the Machine Clan to refine its body.

That was what he lacked.

A series of bad news made his mood plummet.

Babata sensed his low spirits.

“Master, don’t be sad. The consumption of Black Radiance Essence during the journey is minimal. Currently, maintaining the speed of the black hole-level will only consume one unit of Black Radiance Essence per era!”

If the earlier news was considered bad, then this was indeed good news.

Jian Wushuang sighed weakly. “How long does it take to reach the Qishen Temple?”

He blurted out Qishen Temple subconsciously, and immediately regretted it.

He didn’t even know its location; how could Babata?

But to his surprise, Babata immediately calculated the time.

“To reach the Qishen Temple, it will take four eras, passing through twenty-seven main currents of the middle reaches of the Northern Spacetime. There is a high probability of encountering a Sixth Tribulation Universe Master. I have already planned the route for you,

Master!”

Babata moved a piece of sky in front of Jian Wushuang, displaying a winding route on top.

Jian Wushuang was suddenly delighted. “Babata, you actually know the coordinates of the

Qishen Temple?”

“Master’s Life force contains causality. I can sense the position of the Qishen Temple, as well as the Ancient Moon Spacetime that Master wants to go to. I can predict both!” Babata explained proudly.

This time, Jian Wushuang felt like he had hit the jackpot.

He also experienced the convenience of the Machine Clan.

It was basically like walking while lying down.

Everything was arranged for him.

“Now, how long until we reach the Primordial White Heaven in the Ancient Moon Spacetime,

and where are we currently?” Jian Wushuang asked a series of questions.

But Babata casually replied, “Currently, we are in the Tian Cang Eternal Realm. It will take

another two spacetime rivers to reach the Ancient Moon Spacetime, and at our current speed,

it will take four hundred years.”

“As for Universe Masters in the vicinity, there is one of the Sixth Tribulation realm, ten universes away from the pyramid. Within the diameter of the pyramid, there are approximately one hundred and seventy-four Universe Masters. There is no threat or enemy to Master, so please relax as we proceed. Thirty years later, we will encounter the influence of a strong Eighth Tribulation expert, and then we will activate stealth flight!”
