"I know my power very well," Mosha body told the knight from another race standing beside the five-colored pool. "I don't intend to take the Space Heart by force, and I don't want to die, either. But how can I be sure you're not going to kill me?"

The knight's faces were a bit twisted. Suddenly, it said, "We can form an adventure team. As long as we're in the same team, we can't kill each other. Otherwise, we will be hunted down by the Ancestral God School."

"Did you forget that my sensor for the World of Glory is already broken?" Mosha body said. "No."

"Damn it!" the knight bellowed in spite of itself.

Nothing could work. What could it possibly do?

"Knight, give me a plan that can guarantee my survival, and I won't say anything to anyone," Mosha body said. "I'll even volunteer to guard the Space Heart until it matures."

Mosha body kept talking to the knight while thinking about his internal world. The Life Crystal and the Space Heart… One was small while the other was huge. One had the energy of a peak sector lord while the other was powerful enough to be the core of a true treasure. One was only an ordinary creature of the Mosha clan while the other only formed after the Five-Colored Abyss Flower absorbed the energy from the land of origin.

Weng! Weng!

The energies resonated as they were transferred into the Life Crystal. These energies were the essence of the Space Heart, the essence that had been cultivated for a long time, and the root of a core of a true treasure. However, they were now continuously being transferred into the Life Crystal, and growing with each passing second. The Life Crystal expanded, shrank, expanded, and shrank again. Each time, it was fundamentally, radically changed.

The root of Mosha body was the Life Crystal. Normally, one couldn't go further after becoming a peak sector lord unless it became an undying fighter. However, its Life Crystal kept changing, resulting in a leap of life level—just as Luo Feng practiced the Nine-Volume Manual, which improved both his original earthling body and the golden-horned beast body even after they had reached peak sector-lord level.

Humans had their own ways to improve their genes, like using blood river crystals. Similarly, Mosha lives had their own ways of improving their genes. However, it was more demanding, and thus more difficult for them to do it. Besides, Mosha creatures were rare in the universe, and the secret to change was only known to the seniors of the Mosha clan. Few supreme beings of the other races knew about it.

Hua! Hua! Hua!

Hong! Hong! Hong!

Like waves crashing against a shoreline, the energies stored in the Space Heart continued transferring. And as the Life Crystal transformed, the amount of energy it could hold increased as well.

Gradually, after repeated expanding and shrinking, a golden engraving appeared on the Life Crystal, and slowly, more engravings appeared as if gracefully painted by an artist's practiced hand. The more energies it absorbed, the more engravings came into being. There were already engravings on the Life Crystal, and the second set was more intricate than the previous set.

Mosha body tried to hide his joy, feeling himself evolving. Externally, he was still talking to the universe knight from another race.

"Okay, how about this—?" the knight started to say, but it didn't finish the thought. It looked up in shock.

Mosha body felt something weird on top of his head. He looked up too and saw the 10,081 space cracks surrounding the Space Heart suddenly wink out and disappear forever.

"Huh?" said the knight.

From a distance, Luo Feng saw the energies in the Space Heart simmering. It had been stable for hundreds of millions of years, but now it was starting to destabilize after losing most of its energy. It looked deadlier now than before.

"The space cracks have disappeared?" The knight looked at the Space Heart with energies simmering inside. "It must have matured. Finally, it's matured! The Space Heart is mine now! I don't need to talk with this goddamn heir anymore!"

Sou!

The knight flew toward the Space Heart and tried to grab it.

Ka!

The Space Heart trembled, and a crack showed up on its surface, which dazed the knight. He looked at the Space Heart, stupefied.

"What's happening?" the knight said, staring at the Space Heart.

His knowledge of the Space Heart was based purely on research; he had never seen a real one other than this one, let alone one that was maturing. He had seen the space cracks disappear, which should have been an indication of its maturity. He was perplexed, but he suspected that a mature Space Heart wasn't supposed to be this way.

Kakakaka—!

More and more cracks appeared on the crystal.

"No, no!" The knight grew concerned, but he could do nothing about it.

Soon, the crystal ball and its 10,081 sections were covered with cracks. And then, energies from the Space Heart gushed out. It shone upon the entire mountain like a sun.

The knight was bewildered but still had hope. "Maybe it is going to die first—before it can be reborn. The energies are so extraordinary that they tremble the very space around us! The Space Heart is indeed powerful."

On the contrary, Mosha body could feel the Life Crystal in its body morphing, and new engravings were carved on the Life Crystal more and more rapidly. While the Space Heart was covered with cracks, a complete and complex set of engravings was already formed on the Life Crystal. The engravings gave out a golden light.

There were two sets of engravings on Mosha body. One set was natural, and the other set was newly formed.

Just when the Life Crystal in Mosha body couldn't evolve any further, and the set of engravings was complete, the energies from the Space Heart stopped transferring. The last remaining energies gushed out of the Space Heart. This both perplexed and lifted the spirits of the three-faced knight.

"It looks like it has reached its terminal power, and this is its last ray!" said the knight joyfully. "The evolution is complete!"

But Mosha body knew exactly what had happened. He could feel the full weight of the substantial energy had been transferred to him in that short period of time. Mosha body felt transformed—at once with his surroundings. Before, the relationship between Mosha body and the surrounding space was like a fish in a river. Now, he had become a drop of water in an ocean; he had become a part of the space.

I must study into the secret of this body, thought Luo Feng, controlling Mosha body from a distance. It seems that the Space Heart is going to crumble.

Luo Feng didn't dare to stay longer. "Guard the Space Heart as long as you want," said Mosha, gazing at the Five-Colored Abyss Flower below. "I'll leave you alone now."

The three-faced knight had already been guarding the Five-Colored Abyss Flower with his undying power, as he was afraid that the heir would self-destruct and damage it. However, he stopped caring about it after the cracks disappeared and seemed to mature.

Sou!

Mosha body dove into one of the golden ponds and vanished.

"Huh?" The knight from another race was stunned, glancing at the spot where Mosha body had disappeared. "He… vanished? Right in the middle of the Five-Colored Abyss Flower? Did he die or just flee?"

His information was not as nearly as detailed as Luo Feng's. The knight only knew that the Five-Colored Abyss Flower provided energies to the Space Heart. Little did he know was that it was actually five portals.

"Whatever," the knight said. "The Space Heart has already matured."

The knight looked at the Space Heart that was emanating forceful energies with hope.

The Space Heart! It shone so brilliantly!

Peng!

Suddenly, the Space Heart burst like glass, and the fragments vanished.

"What—how? How?" the three-faced knight stammered in disbelief. "How is it possible? How could it break?"

Surely that heir had nothing to do with it. He had been watching him the whole time, and the heir hadn't even touched the Space Heart.

"I didn't know a Space Heart will break!" the knight said. "Was it because the heir dove into the Five-Colored Abyss Flower, causing a reaction?"

The knight looked down at Five-colored Abyss Flower. He couldn't think of any other reason.

"No, no…" he said sorrowfully. "How could this happen?"

The knight didn't want to believe it. He had been waiting for 3,000 eras for the Space Heart to mature. During the latest era, he had found that the Space Heart was formed. Since then, he had come here every day and inspected the mountain to make sure no other great beings would steal it.

After all, a Space Heart was a core ingredient to make an original true treasure, and it was as valuable as some other true treasures. Any true treasure—or any core ingredient to make one—was highly sought after by universe knights. He had been waiting for it for such a long time but had gotten nothing in the end.

"The heir did rush into the Five-Colored Abyss Flower," said the knight, "but that was after the cracks had already disappeared. The Space Heart had matured!" The knight shook his head. "Why? What caused it to break?"

The knight's pain and exasperation were too much. Its three faces roared simultaneously.

"Howl!"

The forceful undying power burst out of the caves in the mountain, and countless pillars of light erupted outward.
