In the silent, dimly lit core chamber, the moment Shi Feng took out the God's Heart, a faint wave of fluctuation spread outward. Though the fluctuation was subtle, its power was so great that the surrounding space trembled.
The wave of fluctuation spread outward and crashed directly against the chamber's magic circle, causing the operating magic barrier inside to shudder, nearly failing to withstand the force.
"God's Heart really is powerful. The magic fluctuation from merely taking it out nearly overwhelmed the magic barrier." Shi Feng glanced at the magic barrier surrounding him and couldn't help but click his tongue in astonishment.
Fortunately, this was the lord's mansion within the ancient fortress. The magic barrier's strength was incomparable to ordinary magic barriers — even if a Tier 4 Legendary monster attacked it for an entire day, it would be extremely difficult to destroy. Had this happened anywhere else, that single wave would almost certainly not have been contained, and it would have attracted the attention of the entire Starlight Fortress.
However, the magic fluctuation triggered by that single release had also significantly increased the mana density throughout the entire core chamber.
A faint, misty haze now drifted within the chamber. If a player were to practice combat techniques here, they wouldn't need any rest even when practicing Bronze Rank techniques — they could train for as long as they wished.
After that, Shi Feng activated the Eye of Omniscience and began appraising the God's Heart.
Damaged Heart of Augustus, Sub-Saint-Tier Material. The heart of the Barbarian God Augustus — a crystallization formed entirely from Eternal Aura. After Augustus fell, it had been held and modified by the Demigod Aterlock. By activating the magic circle inscribed within, it could release dense Eternal Aura to channel to the user. The duration was twelve hours, and after each activation, it required three months to recover. Replenishing with a Divine Crystal could instantly restore the consumed Eternal Aura.
"What an incredible feat. To transform a consumable like a God's Heart into an item that can provide Eternal Aura indefinitely." Shi Feng stared at the data displayed for the Heart of Augustus, his eyes filled with shock.
Normally, a God's Heart was a consumable — players could only use it once. The moment the Eternal Aura contained within was released, it would continuously gush out until it was completely depleted and the God's Heart dissipated entirely.
Only a rare few Tier 5 NPCs possessed the means to halt the continuous release of Eternal Aura, thereby increasing the number of uses.
Now, after the Demigod Aterlock's modifications, the Heart of Augustus had transformed from a consumable into a permanently reusable item. The windfall was staggering. No wonder the Demigod Aterlock wanted to devour him alive and even offered the Demigod's Legacy as bait.
Although each use lasted only a brief twelve hours, for a player, that was more than sufficient. The only inconvenience was the three-month cooldown to recover the spent Eternal Aura — but even that was already something beyond what players could have ever imagined.
After all, on the path of advancement within the Divine Realm, there were countless obstacles that couldn't be solved in a single stroke. Each one had to be tackled individually — the Mana Body at Tier 3, Mana Control at Tier 4, and so on. Now, the Heart of Augustus had essentially solved this problem perfectly.
Moreover, simply using a Divine Crystal would grant an immediate opportunity to learn and advance. This was an incredibly favorable trade.
If word of this got out, the entire Divine Realm would go into a frenzy — players and NPCs alike.
Shi Feng then suppressed his inner elation and began attempting to activate the magic circle inscribed on the Heart of Augustus, preparing to receive the Azure Sage's Legacy.
But upon activating the magic circle on the Heart of Augustus, Shi Feng found himself scratching his head.
The magic circle on the Heart of Augustus was incomparably complex — even as someone who had just broken through to become an Intermediate Magic Circle Master, he found it enormously difficult. If this were a player who had only just become a Magic Circle Master, they wouldn't even be able to activate the magic circle.
"The Main God System really won't let players obtain this kind of power easily." Shi Feng studied the magic circle for a while and couldn't help but laugh bitterly.
Originally, he had planned to use his existing Divine Crystals after he was done, to have Ke Le and the others fully unlock their Mana Bodies. After all, the sooner the Mana Body was unlocked, the greater the advantage for future development.
But now, that seemed impossible...
