Cursed Immortality

Chapter 1165  Massive Gains (2)

Jacob's flaming eyes flickered with a hint of surprise when he saw the White Hexagon Compass, for he clearly remembered that it had seemed to be the reason Whiteness had found him.

However, as he looked closely, he saw fine cracks on the hexagon compass's pristine surface. Nonetheless, it was still a treasure cherished by a Higher Law God, so it was a peerless treasure for Jacob. But he still has no idea how to use it.

At this moment, Jacob tried to probe it with his Soul Sense. But when his soul sense touched the hexagon compass, it instantly bounded back as if encountering an invisible wall.

Furthermore, the hexagon compass was being suppressed by the infinity space, yet his soul sense seemed extremely weak, unable to penetrate its defenses despite its current state.

Since he can't probe it with his soul sense or acknowledge himself as its new owner yet, Jacob decided to use another method. "I'm sending something in your way, try to analyze it." He sent a mental command to Black Mechanic before the hexagon compass vanished from his sight.

Although he wasn't sure, even Black Mechanic, with its terrifying mechanical abilities, could analyze this treasure; it was worth trying, as the compass couldn't can't escape or do anything harmful without Whiteness's control.

Then Jacob's focus shifted to the other two items. The first was the emerald brocade box, which appeared to be an antique, yet the fluctuations it emitted were profound.

Furthermore, this treasure seemed to be constantly trying to escape its confinement, but since its master had been utterly sealed, it greatly affected its own prowess, or it was probably something similar, since Jacob couldn't make a clear judgment because of his lack of knowledge. However, this brocade box was clearly different from the hexagon compass, which didn't constantly try to resist him and only showed a vague intent.

Moreover, since Whiteness didn't have anything else on his person except for these three things, he was sure that this box might be some kind of spatial treasure of an unknown rank.

At this moment, something came to mind as his eyes profoundly flickered, and he spoke coldly, "Now that your master has rendered useless, he won't be able to save you or take you back in this lifetime. However, I have no enmity against you; in fact, I appreciate sensible beings and won't make things difficult for you if you know your place. I know you are in there, artifact spirit! Show yourself!"

From his encounter with Soulless and the Temple of the Blazing Flames, he knows treasures beyond the rank of legendary seemed to have their own spirits, especially treasures even beyond the Mythical Rank.

The moment Jacob's voice trailed off, the brocade box trembled again, and this time the mysterious black brocade patterns on its emerald surface shifted.

Jacob instantly felt that the box seemed to be trying to resist him even more and break free from the confinement of the infinite space.

His eyes flickered sharply as he put more pressure on the box, completely suppressing its futile effort, and he spoke with killing intent, "Since you want to resist and remain loyal to your owner, I respect that. Furthermore, I also think that you thought of me as some mortal trying to impeach the divine.

"However, I may not be able to do anything to you for now, but I don't mean I won't in the future, because I have already achieved the impossible by sealing away your owner.

"So, if you still think I'm not qualified to have a conversation with you, then you can continue to resist, and once I have the means, there will be no mercy for you, and I still have everything I want after I disembowel you piece by piece!"

Jacob didn't wait to see if there was really an artifact spirit hiding in that brocade box or not anymore because he knew one day he would be able to confirm it, and when that time comes, he'll do exactly what he just declared.

Moreover, if he had an extensive amount of lifespan to spare, he didn't mind simply making a wish and wiping the artifact spirit's consciousness without any hesitation if it really existed.

As he was about to shift the brocade box into the infinity pedant's storage space, a feeble yet panicked voice, filled with unwillingness, cried, "W-wait!"

'There's really an Artifact Spirit!' Jacob halted, his eyes flickering with a hint of astonishment before he returned to his calm self and spoke coldly, "So you're finally willing to show yourself."

The feeble voice sounded again, and its tone was filled with exasperation, "Y-you have to understand from my position! You are just a mortal, and I'm a Divine Artifact! How could I bring myself to talk with an insignificant…I mean a humble mortal!"

"Yet, here we are…" Jacob said impassively, his voice filled with ridicule, because, in the end, no matter how arrogant this guy was, he still had to humble himself before absolute power.

The brocade box's pattern shifted inwardly as if showing some kind of emotion, probably embarrassment, as the feeble voice spoke again, "Since you know what an artifact spirit is, you might know it's impossible to refine me while Lord Whiteness's 'Divine Sigil' exists!"

"Lord Whiteness? Is that the name of this Void Mantis?" Jacob was secretly astounded as he impassively questioned, "And what is this Divine Sigil? Something like a Soul Totem Sigil?" "Hmph, humph!" The Artifact Spirit seemed to be filled with disdain as it chided, "What Soul Totem Sigil!? It's like comparing dirt to sky! Lord Whiteness is a Higher Law God of an extremely noble origin, and his Divine Sigil isn't something ten Higher Law Gods could extinguish by working together!"

Jacob was again startled secretly because he wasn't expecting Whiteness to be so powerful among Higher Law Gods, and he knew exactly why that was the case.

But Jacob still seemed to have greatly diminished Whiteness's strength, since he wasn't at his peak when he attacked him.

However, Jacob wasn't going to be polite with this arrogant artifact spirit as he coldly stated while emitting a terrifying pressure with Infinite Space help, "Well, it might be the case in the past, but don't forget that same Higher Law God is right now tasting dust right at my feet!
