Jacob was still surprised by the Wisp of Pisces's action when he suddenly felt uneasy. A chill ran down his spine when he noticed the Wisp of Pisces seemed to be looking at him.
The moment their eyes met, Jacob saw the Wisp of Pisces's ethereal figure tremble ever so slightly. The next moment, the Wisp of Pisces suddenly waved its claw towards the Fire Wyvern, who was about to blast another fire breath.
Under Jacob's horrified expression, the Fire Wyvern suddenly shuddered. The next moment, the Fire Wyvern's powerful body started to wilt at a terrifying speed. It was aging, and aging so fast that even the Fire Wyvern didn't realize it until he sensed his longevity slipping away and weakness overcoming his sense.
The Fire Wyvern panicked and terror-stricken and instantly tried to flee from the Wisp of Pisces's range, but to his horror, he seemed to be now locked in its place.
"M-mer…mercy…" His hoarse voice finally rang, but he was only able to utter this single word before his wilted body started to disintegrate; even its bones were wilting bit by bit as its life slowly slipped away without having any chance to resist.
Jacob witnessed this scene solemnly, and a hint of fear flashed past his eyes that he didn't feel from any other zodiac because the power of time was really too powerful and unpredictable, and Jacob didn't know if he could counter it.
Furthermore, the Wisp of Pisces was clearly intent on toying with the Fire Wyvern, but upon seeing him, it instantly got rid of it, which was Jacob's main concern. For the first time, he really hoped this unpredictable Wisp of Pisces wouldn't attack him.
After the Fire Wyvern was turned to ashes in the wind, the Wisp of Pisces finally looked over as it still stood on its poison, serene like the beautiful ethereal lake.
But Jacob was full-on alert, and at this moment, the Wisp of Pisces's lips curled upward before a terrifying booming voice rang in his head.
Jacob thought that he had already become accustomed to these voices since they didn't affect him that much except for giving him a momentary headache.
But he was terribly wrong, or the Wisp of Pisces was simply too powerful. Its incomprehensible voice shook his entire soul nebula, and for some reason, Jacob felt this voice ringing far longer than any of the other zodiacs.
Just when Jacob felt his consciousness slipping away, the dormant cursed heart suddenly pulsed for a moment, and the next moment, the Wisp of Pisces's voice instantly vanished.
Jacob was startled. The next moment, he felt a pull as his body shifted from its initial position, which he was very familiar with. Joy and relief filled his heart as he knew it was over.
But just as he was about to teleport away, his entire body shuddered because he just happened to glance at the incoming jaws like a black hole closing in on him, and he felt as if his entire life suddenly flashed past his eyes before he finally vanished!
When he reappeared in the reward space, Jacob's knees almost caved in as he still felt terrifying, mysterious power from that jaw, which seemed to have nothing but death and desolation behind it.
'Did the Wisp of Pisces want to kill me?' Jacob thought as he quickly calmed his shaking body.
The Wisp of Pisces's actions were really out of his expectations and unpredictable, and even if he didn't get its acknowledgment, Jacob was glad that it was over, and he had no plan of going back.
But then he was startled. If the Wisp of Pisces didn't give its acknowledgment, why would he pass that trial? Jacob became even more confused, and at this moment, the tower's voice rang. "Congratulations, Trialist!
"You have passed the Star King difficulty level Tower Trial of the Tower of Pisces!
"The Rewards of Star King difficulty Trial will be granted!
"First Reward: The Legendary Vestige of Pisces has been given!"
Jacob instantly snapped out of his thoughts before a hint of elation flashed past his eyes. This trial was Star King difficulty one, which means he'll get a powerful time-related treasury or legacy, especially after seeing the time manipulation at work.
At this moment, the Legendary Vestige of Pisces appeared before him. It was a crystal of deep sapphire blue, radiating an ethereal, shimmering glow. Its surface was smooth and multifaceted, reflecting light in intricate patterns.
But there was something strange about this crystal because, within the crystal, a faint, mystical cloak-like aura swirls, almost like a veil of fog or a flow of water, constantly shifting and changing.
The cloak seems to move with a life of its own, forming ephemeral shapes and symbols that might be hinting at the passage of time.
A pulsating silver light flickers at its core, casting a mesmerizing, almost hypnotic effect. The aura surrounding the vestige feels paradoxically fleeting and eternal, as if it holds power to manipulate time itself, suspending moments or accelerating them at will.
Furthermore, out of all the cosmic vestiges he had gotten, this Cosmic Vestige of Pisces was the only one that gave Jacob a faint sense of unease. Jacob became careful, and the moment he touched the vestige of Pisces, he directly sent it away into his pendant.
The cosmic vestige of Pisces was supposed to be the last vestige he needed to complete the second phase, and it grants time element affinity. Although Jacob still didn't know what the use of all these affinities was, he'll know once he gathers all the vestiges.
This was his seventh vestige, and he already had the remaining five keys. If he wants now, he can start placing the cosmic vestiges in the longevity schema cosmic points; at least, he can place the cosmic vestiges of Aries and Taurus.
But he decided to gather all of them and complete the entire thing in one go after he completed the Immortal Chapter: Cursed Blood Progenitor.
After all, Jacob knew how important the immortal chapter was, and Immortika had emphasized many times that he should comprehend the immortal chapter to control not only his godly ability, but it was also if he wanted to grasp the full power of the cursed immortality.
Furthermore, the immortal chapters were the true core of a Universal Godly Scripture. Although he didn't know how many there were in the Cursed Immortality, he didn't want to rush things anymore since his enemies were becoming more and more powerful, and even a god had appeared.
Jacob might have powerful physical power, but now he realized that he didn't have the foundation to use all of it, so he was planning on going into long seclusion. Only when he fully digested the first immortal chapter would he start the second phase unless, of course, his life was threatened, and he had no other choice.
Once he has all the twelve vestiges, he won't have to worry about completing the second phase anymore. By no means will he complete the second phase, but he doesn't have to worry about the third phase, and he can enter that phase on his own terms.
After all, ever since he came to this world and received the cursed immortality, he had never taken a break to sort things out, and this was a rare chance for him to solidify his foundation.
Now that he had more than eight hundred thousand years of lifespan, Jacob wanted to use it to strengthen himself further so he would not be helpless against those hidden powers anymore. At this moment, the tower's voice rang again,
"The Second Reward: Legendary King State Legacy or Legendary King State Treasure!"
