Chapter 60: Chapter60-Spatial Seed
After John comprehended Anti-Law: Traceless, the spatial monsters immediately lost their target, their movements freezing in place.
John seized the opportunity and drew his blade, eliminating them one by one.
The pale-blue sword edge swept out, and one monster after another fell beneath his sword.
[You have killed a Lv.140 Spatial Worm. EXP +14,000, gold coin +140!]
[You have killed a Lv.150 Spatial-Trace Beast. EXP +15,000, gold coin +150!]
...
After John dealt with the final monster, the coordinate beacon in the sky suddenly began flashing violently. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
After expanding through several rings of light, it finally collapsed with a thunderous crash.
Rumble!
Amid the shattered fragments of the beacon, the system notification rang out.
[Congratulations! Player has completed the Second Stage!]
Crack!
From a massive broken mirror shard nearby, the figure of the Mirrorrealm Witch slowly emerged.
She walked out from within the mirror again, and the way she looked at John had completely changed.
Originally, she had thought John would at most learn a method to weaken Law traces.
She had never expected that John would rely on one final desperate gamble to force the Corridor of the Old Gods into generating a hidden Law truly suited to him.
And from the looks of it, he had even awakened an extremely rare reverse Law.
After a moment of silence, the Mirrorrealm Witch slowly said, "Your performance was... acceptable."
John sheathed his sword and glanced at her.
"That only counts as acceptable?"
The Mirrorrealm Witch snorted coldly.
"What else? Don’t push your luck."
Although her words were still sharp, deep down, she had already acknowledged it.
Based on John’s combat state just now, even among demigods, such a performance would be extremely rare. frёeωebɳovel.com
However, she did not continue praising John, because there was still a serious matter ahead.
If her guess was correct, the Spatial Seed would be born during the third stage.
The Mirrorrealm Witch continued, "The Corridor of the Old Gods has generated Shattered Mirror City. Since it is an independent space, it must have a spatial core.
"If I am not mistaken, the Spatial Seed is most likely hidden inside some small spatial node."
John raised an eyebrow after hearing this.
"Do you have any idea where it might be?"
The Mirrorrealm Witch frowned slightly.
"I’m not entirely sure. Something like a Spatial Seed can only be found through perception and luck.
"Generally speaking, as long as a small space exists, there will be a Spatial Seed acting as its core.
"So next, we only need to find a small spatial node that has not completely collapsed. Then we will have a chance of obtaining the final Spatial Seed."
After hearing this, John suddenly looked toward the Shattered Mirror City before him.
He asked in a low voice, "In that case, isn’t this secret realm itself an independent space?"
The Mirrorrealm Witch’s expression instantly stiffened.
She abruptly turned to look at John.
"What are you trying to do?"
John did not answer.
He merely raised his hand slowly.
In the next moment, four Spatial Authority Fragments appeared in his palm.
Sensing the dense spatial aura above his hand, the Mirrorrealm Witch’s pupils contracted sharply.
"Are you insane? This is a trial space generated by the Corridor of the Old Gods, not an ordinary small secret realm.
"If you forcibly destroy it, the entire spatial turbulence may backlash against you..."
Before she could finish speaking, the four Spatial Authority Fragments in John’s palm had already begun to merge.
At this moment, he was no longer simply mobilizing the power of Spatial Authority like before.
He was temporarily stacking the power of all four Authority Fragments onto a single point.
The Space Sever sword began trembling in response.
Anti-Law: Traceless rapidly spread out, covering his body and forcibly suppressing all leaking fluctuations.
The Mirrorrealm Witch felt her scalp go numb as she watched this scene.
Only now did she finally understand what John was trying to do.
For the first time, a look of genuine loss of composure appeared on her face.
"Stop! Do you even know what you are doing?"
John said calmly, "Of course I do. Since we can’t find the core, we might as well tear apart the entire shell. When that happens, the core will naturally reveal itself."
As his voice fell, the four Spatial Authority Fragments in his palm completed their resonance.
They rapidly fused into one, forming a point of extremely dark light.
It was not a spatial explosion.
It was a form of traversal on the spatial level.
[Realm Annihilation]!
John did not destroy the main body of the Corridor of the Old Gods.
Instead, he quickly locked his target onto the Shattered Mirror City space that the Corridor of the Old Gods had temporarily generated for them.
As that point of dark light fell, the entire Shattered Mirror City instantly went silent.
Then, the edge of the city began to collapse soundlessly.
Streets, mirrors, towers, bridges, rifts—
Everything was peeled away from the current world layer by layer, as if erased by an invisible hand.
Faced with this scene, the Mirrorrealm Witch was completely stunned.
She had seen many madmen and geniuses before, but she had never seen anyone enter the Corridor of the Old Gods, decide that finding the core was too troublesome, and then directly crush the entire space generated by the secret realm.
This was nothing short of courting death.
And what made it even more unbelievable was that John had actually succeeded.
Of course, the price was terrifying.
After Shattered Mirror City collapsed, spatial turbulence swept in from every direction.
Anti-Law: Traceless around John began flickering violently, almost collapsing in an instant.
The Godhunter’s Mark on the web of his hand also began to heat faintly, seemingly triggered again because he had overused Spatial Authority this time.
Seeing this, the Mirrorrealm Witch no longer had time to remain shocked.
She immediately unfolded her own mirror-realm refraction and temporarily helped John disperse part of the spatial turbulence.
Even so, the remaining spatial turbulence was still terrifying.
The Mirror Realm summoned by the Mirrorrealm Witch could only barely withstand it for a short while. Cracks had already begun appearing across many of its mirror fragments.
She could not help shouting angrily, "Idiot! You only just learned how to conceal your traces, and you already dare to use Spatial Law this violently?"
John said nothing.
Nor did he refute her.
Because at this moment, within the void left behind after Shattered Mirror City’s collapse, he had already seen the thing he wanted to find.
It was a silver-blue seed, floating quietly at the very center of the spatial turbulence.
All the shattered space around it was slowly revolving around it.
That was the spatial core of Shattered Mirror City.
It was also the Spatial Seed that the Mirrorrealm Witch wanted to find.
John stepped forward.
In the next instant, Traceless covered his body.
His figure flashed, passing through the spatial turbulence that was about to close.
He reached out and seized the Spatial Seed just as it was about to vanish among the other fragments.
Then John’s figure flashed again, returning to the Mirrorrealm Witch’s side.
Before the Mirrorrealm Witch could even scold him, John reached out, wrapped an arm around her waist, and decisively activated spatial leap.
"Come with me!"
The Mirrorrealm Witch’s expression changed sharply.
"You—"
In the next moment, dense Spatial Authority enveloped the two of them.
Their figures flashed and vanished from the collapsing Shattered Mirror City.
