Chapter 488: Chapter488-The Sacred Land

Oracle Shamir considered Daniel’s request for a moment before replying.

"The forbidden land contains many dangerous formations and restrictions. You must remain cautious and avoid triggering them. Once activated, certain restrictions could kill even someone with your foundations."

Shamir’s expression became more serious.

"There are also powerful Oracle-grade experts hiding throughout the region. Some may deliberately wait near treasure sites and ambush anyone who arrives. You may explore alone, but do not lower your guard."

Even after saying this, Shamir still seemed somewhat worried.

"Opportunity and danger often appear together. No matter how valuable the treasure may be, conduct yourself carefully and keep a low profile."

Daniel smiled.

"Senior Shamir may rest assured. I have never been a person who enjoys attracting attention."

The claim would have sounded absurd to anyone familiar with Daniel’s recent achievements, but Shamir did not argue.

Daniel stopped flying beside the Oracle, offered a brief farewell, and headed toward the treasure signal detected by his Racial Talent.

Danger existed everywhere within the Sacred Origin Forbidden Land. Natural formations, unstable laws, and other cultivators could become threats without warning. Even traveling normally could activate a hidden restriction.

Shamir had not dared move at full speed, and Daniel likewise advanced steadily rather than recklessly.

Not long afterward, he saw a formation ahead.

The laws within it circulated smoothly and connected with one another in precise layers. The arrangement was too deliberate to be a natural phenomenon.

Someone had entered the region and constructed the formation afterward.

Any expert capable of reaching this depth of the forbidden land was powerful. The restriction could not be underestimated.

Many cultivators left behind formations after using them. Some did not bother recovering the materials, while others intentionally abandoned traps to harm later visitors. As a result, enormous numbers of restrictions had accumulated throughout the land.

Some could be avoided.

The one blocking Daniel’s path could not.

"Divine Spear."

The pitch-black spear appeared beside him.

Laws rapidly gathered around its shaft as it shot toward the formation. In an instant, it expanded across tens of thousands of kilometers and pierced directly into the restriction.

The spear identified the core through sheer destructive force and shattered it.

A deafening explosion shook the region.

The entire formation was forcibly expanded beyond its limits and burst apart.

At that moment, two figures appeared nearby.

One of them, a Divine-grade cultivator, cried out in shock.

"What kind of treasure is that? Its aura is terrifying!"

Beside him stood a third-stage Oracle-grade expert.

The Oracle’s eyes immediately filled with greed.

"A Primordial Supreme Treasure. A treasure of that level has appeared before us!"

He stared at the black spear as though it already belonged to him.

"Junior Brother, why should we continue searching for uncertain opportunities? The Primordial Supreme Treasure before us is already an exceptional fortune."

He shifted his attention toward Daniel.

"That human is only Divine-grade. The two of us include one Divine-grade expert and one third-stage Oracle. We possess an absolute advantage."

The Oracle then attempted to persuade his companion.

"You attack first and test his methods. Once I identify an opening, I will deliver the killing blow."

The Divine-grade cultivator looked unwilling.

"Why do you not attack first? I have no intention of becoming a shield for you."

He had long disliked his senior brother’s behavior. Whenever benefits appeared, the Oracle rushed ahead to claim the largest share. Whenever danger arose, he ordered his junior brother to investigate first.

Being forced to team up with such a person inside the forbidden land had been terrible luck.

While resentment rose in the Divine-grade cultivator’s heart, Daniel sensed the hostility released by the pair.

A cold smile appeared on his face.

"Absolute Spacetime has advanced, but I have not yet tested it in a real battle. These two will serve perfectly."

Daniel summoned the Sacred Suppression Tower and the Basin of Greed, but he did not activate them immediately.

When the two strangers saw that he had prepared treasures, the Oracle shouted,

"Junior Brother, attack now!"

The Divine-grade cultivator gritted his teeth and summoned an artifact shaped like an abacus.

It flew toward Daniel with tremendous force.

At the same time, the attacker released a law-based Sacred Art. The laws formed a savage beast that roared and lunged forward, opening its jaws to tear Daniel apart.

Daniel remained completely still.

The Oracle watching from behind initially believed that Daniel had been frightened senseless.

Then a trace of suspicion entered his mind.

"Could he be concealing his true Strength? No. That is impossible. He must simply be unable to react."

The Divine-grade attacker was less confident.

His artifact and Sacred Art were powerful enough to overwhelm opponents of the same Rank. If Daniel intended to resist them directly, he should suffer severe injury even if he survived.

At that instant, Daniel spoke.

"Absolute Spacetime."

Spacetime laws spread around him in silent ripples.

The abacus artifact froze in the air.

The law beast stopped only a short distance from Daniel’s body. Its claws remained extended, its jaws open, and its aura still carried the posture of an attack, yet it could not advance by even a fraction.

The entire region of spacetime had been brought to an absolute halt.

The laws themselves became motionless.

The Divine-grade attacker and the third-stage Oracle were frozen as well.

The younger cultivator’s face still carried suspicion and fear. The Oracle’s expression preserved greed, expectation, and a trace of excitement.

Neither could move.

Their thoughts, vision, and perception had been fixed within a single instant.

Every ordinary law in the region submitted to Spacetime Law, the authority standing above them.

Daniel walked calmly toward the two motionless figures.

He examined them with satisfaction.

"A true absolute temporal stop. Their minds and senses have also been frozen."

After Absolute Spacetime reached mid-grade, enemies and Sacred Arts below fourth-stage Oracle-grade could no longer threaten Daniel inside his domain.

He did not hesitate.

Daniel forcibly opened both storage spaces and removed every treasure inside.

System notifications immediately rang in his ears.

[Ding! The current acquisition has triggered Ten-Thousandfold Boost!]

[You have obtained six peak-grade Primordial Supreme Treasures, twelve innate law treasures, eleven innate treasures, and 1,321 acquired treasures!]

The value of the plunder far exceeded what either attacker could have imagined. Their decision to rob a seemingly isolated Divine-grade human had instead delivered their accumulated wealth directly into Daniel’s hands. The third-stage Oracle had treated his junior brother as disposable bait, yet in the frozen domain, the difference between their Ranks no longer mattered.

Daniel examined the motionless pair without sympathy. Neither had attempted negotiation or offered him a chance to leave. They had seen a valuable weapon and immediately decided that its owner should die. Inside a lawless forbidden land, such intent carried its own consequence. Daniel extended Absolute Spacetime more deeply around them, preparing to ensure that neither cultivator would escape after the temporal restriction ended.
