The moment Jacob shredded those two charred bodies, a strange scene took place.
Right where those two bodies were located, a golden light suddenly shone, and two tiny hourglasses with black frames suddenly appeared in the middle of this golden light. They seemed to be filled with golden sand, and space suddenly started to tremble.
The next moment, a dark vortex appeared behind those hourglasses, and they seemed to be about to escape into it!
'What the hell…' Jacob was shocked when he witnessed this strange scene as his eyes were affixed on those two ethereal hourglasses.
However, Jacob didn't feel any kind of danger from them. Instead, his cursed heart suddenly started to beat wildly the moment those two hourglasses appeared like it was attracted to them!
Before Jacob could react or even comprehend what was happening, an invisible suction force suddenly released from his body. Feeling that invisible force, the two hourglasses trembled and quickly tried to enter the vortex!
But, the next moment, those two hourglasses started to drag towards Jacob, and they were trembling and trying to pull away, but that invisible suction force, which seemed to originate from his cursed heart, didn't let that happen, no matter how much they struggled.
However, Jacob was even more shocked and filled with agitation because he tried to calm his heartbeat and get away from those mysterious hourglasses since he had no idea what they were or why his cursed heart was reacting this way.
But to his shock, his heart was simply out of his control, and even his body refused to move. At this moment, he felt a sudden jolt of excitement from his blood and craving like never before. He felt like he had been thirsty for ages!
"Stop fighting your instincts and absorb them; they are very beneficial to you." At this moment, Immortika's eerie rang in his head. He hadn't heard this voice for a very long time.
Jacob was naturally astounded when he heard Immortika's voice and stopped resisting, but it didn't mean he wasn't curious.
"Just what are these things, and why is my heart reacting this way? Why do they seem alive?" He asked with a grave expression. He could feel his blood boiling in excitement and his heart beating even more wildly as those hourglasses drew near.
"Hahahahaha! They're just a bunch of idiots trying to cheat death by imitating something they shouldn't have. As for what exactly they are, you need to find out yourself. All I can tell is that that golden sand hourglass is akin to 40,000 Unique Rank Dark Beings' dead flames, and it will give you enough blood vitality to complete your entire leg as well as 1,000 years of free lifespan!" Immortika dropped a huge bomb!
Jacob's eyes widened in shock as he instantly comprehended what this meant. If he added all his previous kills, he could not only evolve his hex core now, but he would also gain a huge amount of blood vitality and 1,000 years of lifespan to boot!
"Just what kind of species are they, and what do you mean by trying to cheat death by imitating something they shouldn't have had?!" Jacob didn't let this go since it sounded too good to be true, and it was his first time hearing about it.
After all, if something like this existed that could allow him to bypass the restrictions of killing dark beings to evolve his hex core on such a level, then he should've known this much earlier.
"Didn't I tell you? It's up to you to find out and believe me when I say it had nothing to do with their races. I told you what I can. Just rejoice that you hit the jackpot! Hahahahah!" Immoritka laughed like crazy.
Jacob clearly didn't like this answer, but he knew he wouldn't get anything else from Immortika now, and he didn't have time to push further. At this moment, those two hourglasses were close to his chest, and they were resisting even more furiously but to no avail.
The next moment, his cursed heart's heartbeat was so fast that its crimson projection was visible on his chest, and when the hourglasses touched his clothes, they simply bypassed them as if they didn't exist and directly entered his body.
Suddenly, Jacob felt two explosions in his body, and a dense amount of mysterious energy swept through his entire body. The runic lines on his bones suddenly became alive, while the cursed path glory gem in his pendant started to glow brightly, and the hex core in his cursed heart started to revolve.
Jacob could feel huge changes starting to take place in his body all at once. He didn't have time to pay attention to anything else, so he quickly sat down on the burning ground without hesitation to observe what was happening!

In the Timeless City, the City Lord appeared in front of a huge hourglass at this moment.
Suddenly a static voice rang,
"No.192nd Incarnation (Dark Elf) of Golden Constant-87,001 has died unnaturally! "No.190th Incarnation (Mermaid Siren) of Golden Constant-88,925 has died unnaturally! "Golden Constant-87,001 has been demoted to Silver Constant-999,999th!
"Golden Constant-88,925 has been demoted to Silver Constant-1,000,000th!
"Reshuffling the Constant Rankings!"
"So, they really ended up dying, huh? Just who was behind that explosion? Since Vincent had passed the truth pillar, it wasn't him. I had seen the recording before they died; it was a well-
crafted scheme by someone, and just when they were about to complete the list as well. Furthermore, someone who could make a bomb that could kill two Quasi Legendary Rank experts wasn't recorded in our database…" The Timeless City Lord muttered in a grave tone.
However, at his moment, the huge hourglass suddenly trembled, which was completely out of the ordinary.
"Error, error, error!" The static voice suddenly boomed, making the city lord gobsmacked.
"Former Golden Constant-87,001 and Golden Constant-88,925's Life Hourglass has been failed to retrieve!
"The Life Hourglasses' connection has been permanently severed! "Former Golden Constant-87,00 and Golden Constant-88,925 can't be revived and have died permanently!
"Reporting this unnatural event to the ???"
"An utmost important Timeless Mission has been issued to all the Constants present in the Lesser Galaxy of Taurus!"
But when the symbol of an hourglass suddenly appeared on his forehead, and foreign information appeared in his brain, he knew it wasn't an illusion. Two undying constants have really met their doom!
