Chapter 592 - Chapter 592: Chapter 528 Eternal Stone (2/2)

The Eternal Lake unleashed a mysterious and eerie power that allowed Chris’s consciousness to instantly undergo a dream journey spanning a thousand years.

During these long years, he witnessed the rise and fall of civilizations, experienced the cycle of love and hate, and deeply understood the fragility of life and the increasingly lonely future he was to face.

And after those thousand years, Chris had to choose to “wake up” and return to the real world, abandoning the dream world he had come to know.

If he were an ordinary person, he might truly not have endured, opting to stay forever within the dream.

However, Chris awoke without hesitation.

He had always been wary of that world, never harboring expectations or attachments, spending the thousand years sharpening his control over his power.

“…”

Chris slowly looked around, at the Fischer family members who seemed both familiar and strange, slowly shaking his head.

He was back.

They didn’t know how much time had passed, only he knew.

Then, it seemed he still had to undergo a third trial, yes, that was it.

Chris gathered his thoughts and looked once more towards the lake.

It was the “Trial of Power.”

Suddenly, a massive water column surged up from the lake, transforming into a fierce Water Beast that launched an attack at Chris.

This was a battle without smoke, a contest of wisdom, endurance, and precise control of power… The requirement was that the person facing the trial could not use Extraordinary Power but only his physical strength.

Chris didn’t use any Extraordinary Power or intend to move; he simply extended his hand and lightly pointed, completely shattering the Water Beast.

If he were still at the Seventh Tier, he might have battled for a long time. That fearsome Water Beast possessed the powerful strength of a mid-level Monarch, but for Chris at the Eighth Tier, his mere physical strength was enough to easily defeat the opponent.

As the last rays of sunlight fell upon the calm lake surface, Chris gazed at the Eternal Stone rising from the lake’s depths.

The gemstones, slowly rising from the Eternal Lake, had an breathtaking form and texture.

It wasn’t very large, about the size of a fist, yet it seemed to condense all the surrounding essence and energy, presenting a deep and transparent blue color, as if the purest water drop from the deep sea, exuding an indescribable tranquility.

Its surface was as smooth as a mirror, flawless and without any cracks, like the most perfect natural artwork.

Under the light, the inside of the gem displayed intricate, delicate patterns that seemed like flowing Cloud Mist or a disorderly constellation trajectory that changed unpredictably with the observer’s angle and the light.

Moreover, the Eternal Stone also possessed a subtle yet strong energy field; when Extraordinary Exponents touched it, they could feel a warm and healing power flowing through their bodies, instantly curing all fatigue and pain.

Darren couldn’t help but laugh out loud, nodding, “Finally got it, this level of Extraordinary Material is also one of the rare treasures on the Ouden Continent… really hard to obtain, mostly monopolized by the Lorne citizens and Seven Stars, but now the Seven Stars Empire has also become a thing in the Lorne citizens’ pocket…”

“Little Black! Little Black, what’s wrong with you, Little Black!”

Just then, Helen yelled out, instantly drawing everyone’s attention.

She saw her friend of many decades, Little Black, who she had always carried along, suddenly become agitated, its body violently trembling, struggling, and even pushing Helen away by hundreds of meters.

Everyone’s expressions changed instantly.

“What happened?”

Darren frowned deeply; Little Black had been capable of confronting the Sapphire Curator in the past, and although his true form was always unknown, there was no doubt it was something special.

He knew very well that Helen’s Destiny’s Trajectory was to attract those special beings… and Little Black was the friend from the Spirit Realm who had accompanied her the longest.

Darren asked, “Helen, are you okay?”

Helen shook her head, looking anxiously and fearfully at her most important friend who had once saved her, Little Black.

“You, what’s wrong with you?”

However, a roar suddenly erupted from the usually silent Little Black!

“Ah! Run!”

Suddenly, Chris’s face changed!
