Zhou Haoyu knew that these strange birds were mostly puppets; no matter how many he killed, they wouldn't be gone. For now, all he could do was buy time for the team.
At this moment, Ai Jiangtu and the others had already reached the storm's center and discovered that the yellow lightning originated from a sealing barrier.
Ai Jiangtu and his group chose to stay put, while Nan Jue, Mo Fan, Jiang Yu, Zhao Manyan, and Jiang Shaoxu moved further inside.
Guided by the little loach, the five of them arrived at the area sealed by yellow lightning.
Nan Jue, clearly an expert in this, immediately began deciphering the seal.
Not long after, Zhou Haoyu entered the storm as well and approached behind Nan Jue and the others.
"How's it going?" Zhou Haoyu asked.
If he remembered correctly, inside this seal was an Outsider City, hiding a Space-Time Divine Eye.
Ordinary high-level mages wouldn't be able to retrieve it, but Zhou Haoyu had another identity.
Ancient King!
With the power of an emperor, even if he couldn't take the Space-Time Divine Eye, he could ensure his own safety.
"I need a little more time," Nan Jue replied.
"Leave the defenses to me."
Zhou Haoyu didn't hold back and immediately drew a defensive magic artifact and activated it.
The next moment, a Water Barrier enveloped and protected them all.
"You actually have such an advanced magic artifact?!"
Jiang Shaoxu exclaimed in surprise.
Magic artifacts are far more valuable than ordinary magical tools, capable of casting barriers comparable to high-level spells, worth at least several Galaxy Veins!
"A life-saving trump card,"
Zhou Haoyu said casually. Ever since Jiang Feng had assisted him, forging high-level magic artifacts had become much easier.
He could now even forge Celestial-grade magic tools, though gathering the materials was extremely difficult.
However, even if he could gather the materials, he didn't have the extra time to forge them now.
After a while, Nan Jue finally broke the seal.
Under Nan Jue's lead, the group passed through the sealed area.
Soon after, an Outsider City appeared in their view.
"This should be the real ruins. There may be some treasures inside. Let's split up and search."
With that, Zhou Haoyu led the way into the Outsider City, needing to first locate the Space-Time Divine Eye.
The others began dispersing into the city, while Mo Fan followed the little loach in another direction.
"Where exactly is this Space-Time Divine Eye?"
Zhou Haoyu's brows nearly knit together. He had searched every corner of the city, but there was no trace of the Divine Eye.
Suddenly, Zhou Haoyu's mind sparked.
"That's right, I remember the Space-Time Divine Eye is supposed to be above this Outsider City."
Zhou Haoyu sharply looked upward. Above the city was a tornado sky cavity.
Besides that, there was nothing else.
Zhou Haoyu decisively donned his Armor Robe, instantly elevating his strength to Emperor-level, with his mental power surging as well.
Under the coverage of his psychic power, he finally sensed a trace of anomaly.
Within the tornado sky cavity, a faint circular outline appeared.
Zhou Haoyu suddenly had an idea. Perhaps the entire Outsider City was part of the Space-Time Divine Eye.
To verify this, Zhou Haoyu directly flew toward the tornado sky cavity.
Reaching the highest point, he immediately probed the 'outline.'
Sure enough, an invisible force was repelling him!
Zhou Haoyu no longer hesitated and used all his strength to control it.
At the same time, he sensed fragments of Dark Law within the Spiritual Universe trembling.
After devouring the evil intent from the Armor Robe, the Dark Law fragments visibly strengthened, even suppressing the Space-Time Divine Eye to some extent.
After a long while, a dazzling yellow light flickered deep within Zhou Haoyu's pupils.
Within the Spiritual Universe, a yellow Divine Eye appeared not far from the Dark Law fragments.
"Space-Time Divine Eye obtained!"
Once he controlled the Space-Time Divine Eye, Zhou Haoyu found that the Outsider City was also under his control and could be accessed at any time.
It was an unexpected bonus.
Now with the Space-Time Divine Eye, Zhou Haoyu had an eighty to ninety percent chance of annihilating Pharaoh—Khufu.
"Damn it! You couldn't absorb it, so why bring me here?" Mo Fan cursed, grumbling.
The little loach had looked so excited earlier; he had thought he had found some great treasure, but it turned out he couldn't absorb it at all.
At this moment, Mo Fan suddenly felt someone pat him on the back. He quickly turned around.
Seeing Zhou Haoyu, Mo Fan frowned and said, "Captain, can you stop appearing out of nowhere all the time? My poor heart can't take these scares."
"Mo Fan, if you don't want this, it'll all go to me."
Zhou Haoyu ignored Mo Fan's complaints and instead pointed at the cup containing the Time Liquid.
"Captain, do you know what this is?" Mo Fan immediately asked.
"This is Time Liquid, made by stirring and refining an ancient herb, a very rare treasure."
Zhou Haoyu didn't hide anything and spoke frankly.
"What's it used for?"
"For now, I only know one use: it can be used to cultivate contracted beasts, greatly shortening their advancement time."
Upon hearing this, Mo Fan's eyes widened. This was a real treasure!
Mo Fan wasn't like Jiang Yu, who specialized in summoning; the Time Liquid happened to be very useful to him.
With the Time Liquid's assistance, his summoning system would not fall behind his Thunder and Fire systems.
"Captain, I discovered this treasure first, so I should get the bigger share," Mo Fan said hastily.
Sharing with finders was fine, but he needed a bigger portion.
"Alright, you take three-fifths, and the rest is mine."
Zhou Haoyu didn't particularly need the Time Liquid, after all, Little Flame Princess had already reached Commander-level.
Mo Fan naturally had no objection. He immediately divided it into two bottles, even giving Zhou Haoyu slightly more.
After dividing the Time Liquid, the two reunited with the other four and then left the Outsider City.
At this time, the strange bird swarm outside the storm had also dispersed.
Although Jiang Feng had eliminated many birds, they were only puppets, so killing more wouldn't make a difference.
Once the birds disappeared, the group began retracing their path.
Back at the Hanmi City inn, Zhou Haoyu ignored Mu Ningxue's temptations and entered the Spiritual World directly.
The Space-Time Divine Eye had some connection to the Chaos system, whose highest realm was Time Stasis.
Unfortunately, Zhou Haoyu didn't have Chaos magic.
However, in Armor Robe state, using the Space-Time Divine Eye was enough to seal the space around Emperor-level beings.
At Emperor-level combat, even a moment's difference could be decisive.
But mastering it would take time; the Space-Time Divine Eye was not easy to control.
After sensing the Divine Eye's power, Zhou Haoyu opened his eyes and looked at Mu Ningxue on the bed.
Before she could react, Zhou Haoyu pounced.
