Chapter 32: Coveting the “Tears of the Aurora Goddess”

A silver light flashed like electricity, crossing the air in an instant. It was so sharp that the eye could not possibly keep up with its speed. Small electric arcs continuously exploded, making crisp popping sounds. The dazzling silver light was like a rainbow, like lightning, like a phantom shadow in a momentary cycle of reincarnation…

In an instant, a light thumping sound was heard, yet it felt like a muffled thunder that made the eardrums itch. Luo Yan’s mouth twitched, and he looked at the rockery in front of him, completely stunned.

The “rockery” in Luo Pei’s small yard was not made of any precious stone. It was actually just a huge rock that had been standing there, impossible for anyone to move. When Luo Pei built the house, he used this waste material and added a little decoration, turning it into a charming rockery… However, the characteristic of this rockery was not just its charm; it was also very hard, extremely hard!!

—This rockery was originally made of obsidian, the hardest rock on the Amelia Continent… Because obsidian existed in huge reserves and had no special uses, it was not considered rare. However, obsidian was regarded as “one of the hardest substances” on the Amelia Continent. It was difficult for divine weapon s to damage and resistant to water and fire. Generally, it was used as the best building material, and many countries used it to build city walls.

But now, on this rockery of hardest obsidian, an obsidian rockery that even legendary divine weapons found difficult to damage, a thin little hole had suddenly appeared.

Looking excitedly at the “Super Electromagnetic Flying Needle” that had returned to his hand at some unknown moment, Luo Yan felt a chill run down his spine.

[Obsidian, known as “one of the hardest substances,” was as soft as tofu before this “Super Electromagnetic Flying Needle.” It was pierced directly without any resistance at all.]

The power of a single needle was so terrifying…

It truly deserved its fame as a “Legend of the Killing Path”!!

Marveling at the terrifying sharpness of this legendary weapon, Luo Yan’s eyes filled with an indescribable excitement. In his previous life, he only “knew” that this legendary set, “Tears of the Aurora Goddess,” was terrifying, since he had never seen it with his own eyes. But today, he finally had a true, direct understanding of it. He had to admit that he was truly shocked.

Even the hardest material on the continent, obsidian, was pierced in one hit. This sharpness alone—a sharpness that could destroy anything—was enough to make one tremble. Moreover, it had two very practical attributes: “Lightning Devour” and “Paralysis”!

As everyone knew, the most destructive elemental attack was the “Lightning Element.” Its destructive power was even above “Fire” and “Darkness,” and it was called the “most violent element.” The “Paralysis” attribute was also one of the most practical negative attributes, equal in fame to “Blindness,” “Petrification,” and “Weakness.” In a fierce duel, a single second of paralysis was enough to do many, many things. Even a Super-Tier expert would inevitably be at the mercy of others once they fell into a paralyzed state… With these two additional attributes, the power of the “Super Electromagnetic Flying Needle” was increased several times over.

However, none of this was the most terrifying part. After conducting a serious test, Luo Yan deeply realized that neither the sharpness, the elemental damage, nor even the negative attributes were the most terrifying. In fact, the truly terrifying part of the “Super Electromagnetic Flying Needle” was its speed—that absolute speed in the void, which was like lightning and almost reached the speed of light!!

It was hard to imagine what kind of technology the Goblin master who crafted this legendary weapon back then had used. In short, the speed of the “Super Electromagnetic Flying Needle” had reached a very, very terrifying level. Once launched, it was invisible to the naked eye and relied entirely on Mental Strength for control. Its flight speed in the void could even approach the speed of light—at such a speed, Luo Yan simply did not believe any creature could dodge it.

If this needle were used for assassination, even a Ninth-Level expert would likely die on the spot. No wonder this “Tears of the Aurora Goddess” set had established such a great reputation before his rebirth, becoming the ultimate nightmare for many experts!

Of course, Luo Yan also knew that this did not mean the “Super Electromagnetic Flying Needle” was invincible in the world. The tiny size of the needle meant it could only be used in a combat style of aiming for a weakness for a one-hit kill. Once it failed to hit a weakness or could not find one, its power would naturally decrease greatly.

Therefore, the “Super Electromagnetic Flying Needle” was actually unsuitable in some situations.

For example, when facing opponents with tight defenses. Although obsidian was “one of the hardest substances” on the continent, it was only a raw material. Compared to certain alloys or defensive magic, it was still far inferior. Although the “Super Electromagnetic Flying Needle” could pierce obsidian, it might not be effective against armor mixed with magical metals like Gold Essence or Mithril, or against defensive magic like a composite Magic Shield. Additionally, facing defensive magic such as “Ranged Immunity,” “Attack Refraction,” or “Void Defense,” it would be equally useless.

Another example was when facing opponents with extremely strong regeneration abilities or no obvious weaknesses, such as Trolls, Hydras, or Golden Slimes. The “Super Electromagnetic Flying Needle,” which only excelled at attacking weaknesses, would undoubtedly have limited effects.

Furthermore, against opponents with special forms like Elemental beings or Undead creatures, the effect of the “Super Electromagnetic Flying Needle” would be even smaller, almost to the point of being ineffective.

Lastly, although the “Super Electromagnetic Flying Needle” was incredibly fast and invisible to the eye, its appearance during flight was too flashy. It still could not be completely silent, so it was unsuitable for certain occasions.

…

…

…

Calculating all these details, the usage restrictions of the “Super Electromagnetic Flying Needle” actually seemed quite significant. However, Luo Yan was not worried. Everything in nature has a counter. For the situations mentioned above, there were naturally other flying needles that could compensate. What shook the world and made high-level experts change color before his rebirth was the legendary set “Tears of the Aurora Goddess,” not just a single “Super Electromagnetic Flying Needle.”

[For instance, Luo Yan had heard that another component of the “Tears of the Aurora Goddess,” the “Superfluid Flying Needle,” had the characteristic of “Physical Immunity.” No matter what kind of magical armor was used, it could treat it as if it were nothing. Another needle, the “Superconducting Flying Needle,” happened to be the nemesis of magic. Its “Absolute Magic Immunity” attribute made any defensive magic like clouds before it. In addition, there was a “Super Perception Flying Needle,” a terrifying existence that could block the five senses and remain absolutely “invisible”…]

There were seven flying needles in total. Looking at the pierced obsidian rockery, a nearly crazed light appeared in Luo Yan’s eyes. The power of one needle was already this terrifying; what if he collected all seven?!

His whole body trembled. Collecting all seven pieces of the “Tears of the Aurora Goddess”?! This was something that countless top experts in his previous life had dreamed of infinitely. Unfortunately, no one had ever achieved it. At most, someone had collected three of them, and that person had already dominated the world with them!

—And Luo Yan seemed to have the chance to achieve that “unprecedented” feat. After all, regarding the current locations of these seven needles… he seemed to know them all.

Speaking of which, he really had to thank those media moguls from before his rebirth~~ embarrassed
