Necromancer Of The Shadows chapter-1195-universal-spring-part-3

Anastasia stared at the dark blue waterfall in front of her, her breath catching as her eyes widened in shock.

"After seeing the sheer magnitude of the World Essence, I should have realised that other than the Universal Spring, there is nothing in the world that can cause such phenomenon," She said to herself and took some deep breaths to calm down.

The Universal Spring is one of the rarest treasures in the world. It is useless to anyone below Rank Five, but to anyone who has reached Rank Five or higher, it is one of the most coveted items in existence.

The reason the Universal Spring is useless for those below Rank Five is that, in order to use it, one needs to have their own world with established laws.

Only by becoming a Rank Five Core Evolver can someone merge their law seal with their Illusionary World, transforming it into a Chaotic World.

A Core Evolver of Rank Five or higher can then place the Universal Spring within their world, where it will merge with the world on its own.

Aside from slightly strengthening a person's world, the primary function of the Universal Spring is to provide an endless source of energy. Once a person merges it with their world, the Universal Spring will constantly generate World Essence, providing its owner with what is essentially limitless energy.

In statistical terms, the Universal Spring can generate one hundred thousand points of World Essence every second, and that is not even its upper limit. With this endless energy source, a person will never have to worry about running out of power, as the spring acts like an energy generator, fueling them endlessly.

Not only does the Universal Spring provide boundless energy, but it also allows the owner to nourish high-level resources within their world. With the help of the Universal Spring, even Rank Six resources—extremely rare in Utopia—can be cultivated within a person's world.

"So, the reason there are so many valuable things here must be because of this Universal Spring," Anastasia muttered to herself, taking deep breaths to calm her wildly beating heart.

"I have to take it with me" She said, and immediately sent her spiritual senses outward, covering the entire waterfall with her spiritual power.

According to her knowledge, the Universal Spring has a core, and in order to take the spring successfully, she needs to retrieve that core.

It didn't take long for Anastasia to locate the core of the spring, which was buried deep within the pool at the waterfall's base.

Without hesitation, she dived into the water and swam toward it, but as she neared the core, the density of the World Essence in the area became suffocating.

Even Anastasia, with her formidable powers found it difficult to push through the dense World Essence.

Halfway to the core, she felt her body nearing its limit, forcing her to call upon her dragon scales for protection. But despite the additional shield, she found it increasingly difficult to move forward as the pressure from the World Essence grew more intense.

Finally, when she was just a few hundred meters from the core, she realized even her dragon scales weren't enough, and she activated her Soul Resonance skill.

A terrifying aura erupted from her body, pushing the suffocating World Essence back momentarily. However, the relief was short-lived, as the core of the spring generated an even larger amount of World Essence, increasing the density to a level that made it nearly impossible to continue. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

Despite her power and the use of Soul Resonance, it took Anastasia nearly three minutes to cross the remaining distance of a few hundred meters and reach the core.

Once she reached the core, she stared at the marble-sized, black ball in front of her with a look of shock on her face.

"Even a Peak Rank Five Core Evolver would suffocate to death in this environment," She said to herself, still catching her breath.

After recovering, she reached out and grabbed the core. The core of the Universal Spring had no offensive capabilities, so even though it was generating massive amounts of World Essence to try and stop her, it couldn't prevent her from seizing it.

Once Anastasia had it in hand, she quickly stored it in her Core World and sealed it to prevent it from merging with her own world.

The moment she put the core away, the World Essence in the pond began to dissipate, and the color of the water gradually shifted from dark blue to pale blue.

Anastasia didn't care about these changes and deactivated her Soul Resonance, feeling a wave of exhaustion wash over her.

"I will need to rest here for a few days to recover from the strain of using Soul Resonance," She said aloud, aware that the water dragon was likely still waiting for her outside and she could go out in her current condition.

Just as she was about to leave, something at the bottom of the pond caught her attention. With a wave of her hand, she sent a tendril of energy down, and soon a small, square-shaped black stone floated up toward her.

"What's this?" Anastasia grabbed the stone, her eyes narrowing in confusion as she examined it closely.

The black stone looked completely ordinary at first glance. Other than the strange patterns engraved on its surface, there was nothing outwardly special about it.

However, Anastasia knew better than to judge it by appearance. Anything that could remain intact under the immense pressure of the vast amount of World Essence generated by the Universal Spring had to be far from ordinary.

"I will have to ask someone to examine it once I'm out of here," She muttered in a low voice and put away the stone.

After leaving the pond, Anastasia began to explore the rest of the secret realm. She wandered for hours, gathering countless herbs and high-level materials that were scattered across the grassy plains.

The sheer volume of resources in the realm required time, and by the end of her search, it had taken her three entire days to collect everything. By then, her body had also fully recovered from the strain of using her Soul Resonance ability.

Standing once more before the stone platform that housed the formation, Anastasia glanced around the serene, empty plains.

"I hope that water dragon has enough sense not to cause me any trouble," She said aloud and with a flicker of bright light, the formation activated, and in the blink of an eye, she vanished from the secret realm.
