Chapter 647 Legendary Key in Hand
'This box seemed to be encrypted with runes. This should be the runic lock that relies on magic runes, and if someone tries to open it without the runic key, the item inside will be destroyed. But I don't think the legendary key is so feeble that it could be destroyed with an advanced unique rank runic lock,' Jacob mused as he observed the box with scrutiny.
If it had been before, he might've been stumped and tried to break this box, but after he deepened his knowledge of the magic runes in the dark city and created the Planet Destroyer, he was very familiar with this kind of runic lock.
He also had Free Sword's entire treasury, so he quickly searched among his treasures and soon found what he was looking for. It was a small pentagon, which perfectly matched the pentagon grove above the box.
Jacob quickly inserted this small pentagon in the grove. When it was perfectly fit, the runes on the box lit up, and with a faint click, the box opened.
When he opened the lid, a glowing light lit the surroundings. The thing inside the box was not a standard key with a flat head and teeth.
It resembles a stylized celestial compass. A smooth, circular disk forms the body, with intricate constellations etched on its surface. It was not made with any conventional material.
It shimmers with an otherworldly, ethereal light, constantly shifting between hues of violet, indigo, and gold. When Jacob lifted it up, it felt weightless in his hand yet held a solidity that defied its ethereal appearance. It was slightly warm to the touch, radiating a comforting yet powerful energy.
Extending from the center is a single, slender point that curves gracefully upwards. This point doesn't resemble a traditional keyhole prong but rather seems to yearn to touch the sky.
Twelve faint symbols were engraved along the rim of the circular disk, and only one symbol was extremely lifelike and different from the other eleven.
Shockingly, Jacob instantly recognized them and muttered, "They are the twelve symbols of the zodiac, and this more visible symbol represents the symbol of the Taurus Constellation, the same as the lesser galaxy that I'm in!
After he opened the Immortal Chapter, he didn't use the Eyes of Judge directly but tried to use the passive ability judgment gaze to see if he could enter it on his own. After all, his soul was also elevated, so he wanted to try using his own capabilities.
After a few minutes, Jacob found that there was indeed something different this time around as he sensed a strange force within the drop of blood on the immortal chapter, but he failed to enter.
At least, it was far easier with the Eyes of Judge, but this was still a little progress, so he wasn't discouraged. He activated the Eyes of Judge and appeared in the crimson world of blood glyphs.
Jacob didn't waste his time on those large glyphs and found the smallest one again since he wanted to fully comprehend it before he moved on to the others. Furthermore, after his last success, he was now sure that he had to start with the smallest one, and only after he comprehended it could he move on to the others.
This time, as Jacob approached the smallest blood glyph, he was surprised and elated when he found that the repulsive force was no longer as powerful as before, but he struggled nonetheless.
However, this time, he reached the blood glyph without losing consciousness, but when he touched it, his mind went blank again.
Strangely, Jacob was still fully focused. The next moment, he felt as if a sea of knowledge had appeared in front of him, and not only that, but strange images began to play in his head.
The amount was simply too much, and he felt like his brain was too small to absorb them all at once.
However, for some reason, as his mind wandered in the sea of knowledge and those images, he was able to observe them slightly.
Just like that, Jacob's journey to become the Cursed Blood Progenitor started!
