"Let’s deal with the remaining demons first."

Arriving at the center of the basin, Lin You did not immediately touch the long sword but instead maneuvered with the plant army around the center to deal with the remaining undead monsters.

By the time the last Skeleton General fell, Cyan Rattan’s Bloody Frenzy state had also completely subsided.

Looking at the ground covered in fragments of bones, Lin You felt a sense of amazement.

Thankfully, he had stored enough corpses; otherwise, it might not have been possible to deal with all the demons at once.

Thinking about this, he casually opened the Origin Universe and was instantly stunned by the scene in front of him.

Before setting out, his World Tree had only 500 Faith Fruits.

After killing hundreds of lord demons, it had skyrocketed to 1,000, a complete doubling!

Moreover, the Rule Fragments he obtained from killing demons had accumulated to over 5,000 pieces.

But what surprised him the most was that the Time Law had slightly improved in effect.

[Time Law (Active): Control the Power of Time, when activated, forms a Time Domain within 1.1 meters nearby, allowing free adjustment of time flow speed, consuming 10% of the Power of Rule per second, unaffected by skills outside the Time Law, effect increases with the boosting of Origin Space, time multiplier: 1.1 times]

A 1.1 times time flow speed, compared to the previous 1 time, was already a qualitative leap.

Because a 1 time flow speed is the original speed and causes no change, but exceeding 1 time is different.

Lin You picked up a stone and tossed it into the air, letting it fall freely.

Then, focusing his gaze, with a "buzz," an invisible wave spread from him, encapsulating the stone.

The stone, initially in free fall, suddenly slowed down slightly.

Though not very obvious, Lin You could distinctly perceive with his senses that the speed indeed slowed by about a tenth.

Then, with a thought, he reversed the time flow speed to accelerate, the stone’s falling speed then sped up, and it fell to the ground with a thud, and he promptly retracted the Time Law.

In just three seconds, he had consumed thirty percent of the Power of Rule.

However, Lin You was still delighted because his Time Law now could be integrated into battles.

Activating it at critical moments could still avoid a lot of deadly damage.

"Let’s go, let’s check out that sword first."

Seeing that the species had dealt with all the demons, he wasted no more time and led a few royal family members towards the pitch-black long sword.

The closer he got, the more extraordinary he felt the sword was.

There was vaguely a pressure that made his heart tremble, as if something was being suppressed beneath it.

When he got within ten meters of the long sword, an information interface appeared in front of him.

[Sword of the Undead (Special): A Sword of the Undead formed from Death Qi, one of the Ten Original Powers, destroy all powers to find the location of the Space Core.]

Space Core!

Lin You’s eyes lit up, not expecting to obtain information about the Space Core in this manner.

One of the Ten Original Powers.

Could it be that destroying ten things like this sword would reveal the Space Core’s location?

No wonder he hadn’t discovered any hint of the Space Core despite delving so deep; it had been hidden away.

Without hesitation, he stepped forward and grasped the hilt, pulling it up vigorously.

"Clang!!"

With a metallic ringing, the long sword was surprisingly easily pulled out.

The next moment.

A booming explosion sounded.

The entire basin, even the entire demon space, began to tremble violently.

A black aura representing the Power of Death shot up into the sky, straight into the Chaos Void above the space.

"What’s happening?"

"What is that light?"

"Could it be some kind of treasure chest appearing?"

"Let’s go, quickly check it out!"

The lords scattered throughout the demon space were all startled by this sudden phenomenon.

Realizing what was happening, they immediately changed direction, all converging towards the basin where Lin You was.

Lin You, being the party involved, was frightened by the uprising Death Qi, hurriedly retreating with the plants to the edge of the basin.

Looking again at the pitch-black long sword in his hand, it had already dimmed, seemingly losing its original power.

Yet the next second, the long sword suddenly burst into a dazzling light.

Under his astonished gaze, it quickly dissipated, gradually condensing into numerous Rule Fragments, numbering in the thousands!

"This..."

Looking at the Rule Fragments floating before him, Lin You was overjoyed and promptly collected them all.

In an instant.

The number of his Rule Fragments soared to over 6,000.

He couldn’t help but be surprised.

So this is the reward for destroying the Ten Original Powers?

Just a mere pull yields so many Rule Fragments.

If anyone knew, it would probably incite a mad scramble among kings.

After all, not everyone can have a wondrous entity like the Origin Universe, capable of acquiring so many Rule Fragments daily.

This treasure alone is equivalent to a 4,000-point attribute boost.

Enough to drive many kings mad.

Thinking of this, he immediately said to the plants around him:

"Let’s go, let’s get out of here first."

With such a big commotion, it would definitely attract many lords. To avoid unnecessary trouble, it was better to leave here first.

After saying this, he immediately led the Plant Army out of the basin and continued to explore deeper.

Then, it wasn’t long before.

Several teams composed of Tier Ten Lords appeared above the basin, looking at the scene in front of them with shock.

"This is..."

"So many demon corpses!"

"Are those all the corpses of Lord-level Skeleton Generals?"

"Gasp! They’re all at the Lord level! What exactly happened here!?"

Those who could reach such depths were generally not ignorant, and they could immediately recognize the original form of the corpses in the basin.

Hundreds of Lord-level demons, all dead here; what kind of monster could achieve such terrifying scenes?

Just when a few were shocked, more and more people started arriving, all stunned by the scene before them.

Then, it wasn’t long.

The news of the Space Core spread quickly, and the lords finally learned how to find the core.

Of course.

These things had nothing to do with Lin You for the moment.

At this time, he was already miles away, continuing to hunt the Lord Demons he encountered along the way, collecting Rule Fragments.

What surprised him greatly was.

After the Faith Fruits on the World Tree reached 1,000, the rate of increase slowed down significantly. Killing a dozen Lord Demons only increased it by one.

"Could it be that I’ve reached a bottleneck?"

Lin You’s expression was bewildered, it seemed that the Origin Universe had reached a breeding bottleneck.

To continue to increase, it may require reaching Tier Eleven, further expanding the range of the Origin Universe.

Or perhaps the Origin Universe would undergo some qualitative change on its own, similar to absorbing a complete Divine Format before, or evolve at some node.

These are things that depend on fate.

However, a daily output of 1,000 fruits already exceeded his expectations, so he didn’t feel too disappointed.

If he worked harder, taking advantage of this demon invasion to kill more Lord Demons, he should be able to accumulate quite a few Rule Fragments.

"Master, there are many demons ten kilometers away, and many at the Lord level!"

Suddenly, a voice interrupted Lin You’s thoughts.

The Mushroom Demon King, riding the Jade Dragon King, flew back to the team, shouting loudly.

"Many at the Lord level?"

Lin You was delighted to hear this, could it be a place like that basin?

"Let’s go, take a look first."

Without hesitation, he immediately led the Plant Army to speed up and hurried towards the direction the Mushroom Demon King had scouted.

At this moment.

Not far from here, in another direction.

Five Tier Ten Lords of the Primordial Evil Realm were also leading their species, constantly advancing in this direction.

"Are the demons really up ahead?" a man asked.

"We’ve already sent species to scout, they’re in the magma zone a few kilometers away," another replied.

"Alright, let’s get over there quickly, and if the Chaos Level isn’t high, let’s take that place first."

"A few hundred Lord Demons, if we can take them all, that’s several thousand Rule Fragments. We can’t let others get ahead."

"Then what are we waiting for, let’s speed up."

They said excitedly, immediately ordering their species to resolve the demons ahead and accelerate towards the direction that was scouted.

Soon.

They arrived on a red earth covered in magma.

As far as the eye could see, it was almost a sea of red fire, with magma constantly surging through the cracks, occasionally spewing sky-high fire pillars, turning into countless sparks scattering around.

As the sparks landed, they immediately turned into Tier Ten Explosive Flame Imps, wandering around the magma ground.

Then some Explosive Flame Imps merged with each other, forming Leader-level Flaming Venerables, constantly casting Meteor Fire Rain.

Next, the Flaming Venerables merged again, and finally became a gigantic Lava Demon, dragging a crimson chain back and forth beside a rolling magma pool, seemingly guarding something.

Their hearts were shocked but were immediately drawn towards a levitating flame-red bead in the magma pool, their eyes widening.

"Treasure!"

"No doubt, this should be the key to the Space Core, as mentioned in the message they just sent me."

"So that means, by getting that thing, we can find the location of the Space Core?"

"Exactly."

"Then why waste time, draw the demons out and kill them first!"

Upon hearing it was related to the Space Core, the others immediately became anxious, quickly gathering their species to start clearing the demons and obtain the Flame Pearl in the magma pool.

Because they weren’t foolish, something as crucial as this could very likely be hiding some extra rewards or treasures, they must get it before others.

"Wait, it seems like someone is coming!"

Unexpectedly.

At this moment, the king responsible for scouting in the team suddenly exclaimed, interrupting their actions.

They were shocked, looking towards another direction of the magma zone, indeed seeing a large area of bizarre plants approaching them.
