CHAPTER 819 THE EXPLOSION CORE
"Ha-ha. Thank you so much, Andrea," Clark said excitedly.
"By the way, Andrea, there is one more thing." His eyes beamed with slyness and lust.
Andrea laughed in response. "I know what you mean. Don't worry, you can trust me with the gift," he
promised with a wink and a wicked smile. He then clapped his hands, and three figures emerged from
behind the palace.
All three of them were young women, each of which was extremely beautiful, scantily clad and
enchanting.
"Ha-ha! You know me well, Andrea. Just come to my palace after ten days to take the pills." Clark's
eyes turned red and watery as he carefully examined each of the women's sultry curves. He already
felt like the luckiest man on earth.
He took the three girls very eagerly out of the palace and hurried back to his own place.
"I can't believe that this old man is such an old goat. I wonder if the trade between him and Andrea has
anything to do with the Sense of Realm," Ricky murmured. "Is it true that this Star Continent really has
the Sense of Realm?"
"I don't think there are any other types of interests that can convince Clark and Andrea and make both
of them willing enough to make a deal with each other. That said, it's very likely that all this conspiracy
is about the Sense of Realm," Tina said. "If it was merely for women, Clark definitely would not have Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
agreed to create so many pills for the Ling Clan."
"Father, ·when shall we kill this old guy? Is it after we finally rule the Star Continent?" Colin asked in a
low and frigid voice as he came out from behind the palace.
"We do it after we get what we want. Remember Colin, we have to let him have his way as much as we
could. We should wait at least before we completely destroy the Great Star Dynasty and the Scarlet
King Ape tribe. Only then can we finally kill that bastard," Andrea replied and stared indifferently at the
horizon.
"Well, this old dog's strength is not a disappointment. We need his strength so we can deal with that
brat."
"I understand, Father. However, recently, several of the women in our clan have fallen into the clutches
of that old man. Some of the members have even· started raising their concerns about it. I'm afraid the
whole clan might fall apart if this continues," Colin disclosed with a worried look on his face.
"Well then, tell the women in our clan that from now on, if they· have nothing important to do, then they
shouldn't step out of their rooms. There are tons of other women in other clans," Andrea· instructed. His
tone left a spiky chill in the atmosphere.
"Yes, Father!" Colin replied and nodded curtly.
"Tina, it seems a lot like they are discussing about the Sense of Realm. Something tells me, that the
Sense of Realm was also the motivating factor behind the Ling Clan's actions against both the Great
Star Dynasty and the Scarlet King Ape tribe," Ricky said and rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
"But, how can they ·be so sure that ·the Sense of Realm exists on the Star Continent?"
Tina queried with a frown. "Maybe Clark has his own ways of gathering information."
"So then, does that mean I can't kill Clark yet because he might be of use to us in the future?" Ricky
scratched his head.
"If the Great Star Dynasty and the Scarlet King Ape tribe are clueless about the whereabouts of the
Sense of Realm, then yes, you really can't kill him until we at least find the treasure," Tina affirmed.
"If that's the case, then I have to make things clear with Dylan. Otherwise, things might not go
according to plan and it will be harder for us to deal with the conflict in the future," Ricky told Tina.
He left the Ling Clan and returned to ·the palace of the Great Star Dynasty.
As soon as he returned, Ricky immediately told Dylan and his men everything he knew.
"As it turns out, the old man from the Ling Clan is the one who had hurt me. No wonder Andrea knew
so much about my condition." Dylan was hit with an unnerving realization. "From what you have
learned, the Ling Clan will be back once again and attack us in ten days."
"Damn it! The pills they will be taking this time could double their power. This could really get us into big
trouble," William cursed under his breath.
"I think they must have used up all of the materials used to refine the real Energy Boosting Pills.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be caught dead using materials with toxins," Ricky pointed out. "This way,
even if the strength of all the other members of the Ling Clan will increase by a tenfold, we can still be
sure that Andrea and Colin will not take these pills. I'm betting that would be a good thing for us."
"You are right, Ricky," Dylan nodded in agreement.
"Everyone, in ten days, a battle shall ensue. When that time comes, allow me to deal with Clark and all
the Ling Clan warriors who will take the pills. As for Andrea and Colin, I leave their fate in your hands,"
Ricky said firmly.
"Count us in, we will handle the Ling Clan warriors, too," Ares and Selene said in a unified and
murderous tone.
Ricky and his companions had roughly figured out a strategy for the upcoming battle.
"By the way, Ricky, you just said that Clark had his eyes set on the Sense of Realm. I guess you feel
the same about this treasure, don't you?" Dylan smiled at Ricky.
"I don't think you will believe me even if I claim that I don't, right?" The ace genius laughed lightly.
"Why? Do you happen to know where the treasure is, Dylan?"
"I'm the emperor of the Great Star Dynasty, Ricky. Of course I know it well," Dylan replied. "However,
I'm pretty sure the leader of the Ling Clan and William have also known about it."
"Oh, well, that's very interesting. That must be the reason why Clark formed an alliance with Andrea,"
Ricky nodded with a meaningful smile.
"There is a magma region called the 'Explosion Core' in every fully developed continent in the
Heavenly Void. Once a Sense of Realm drops onto our land from your world, it will automatically fall
into the Explosion Core," Dylan explained slowly, making sure Ricky would understand how it worked.
"The Explosion Core?" Ricky and Pearl murmured.
"The Explosion Core is simply the starting point of a continent. It can be said that all every continent is
created from an Explosion Core," Dylan continued. "The Sense of Realm can be baptized and polished
by the most powerful energy in heaven and earth. This energy is located deep within the core. Thus,
once it comes into our land, it will choose to enter the Explosion Core."
"I see!" Ricky landed a fist on the palm of his other hand.
"The area surrounding the Explosion Core is closed off. I know where the core is, but I don't know if it
has the Sense of Realm or not at the time being. If it has, then it will open itself when the time comes. If
not, then it won't open. We will have to wait and see," William added.
"In that case, we have to go to the Explosion Core and take a look at the area ourselves." Ricky was
starting to feel all revved up.
"That's right!" Dylan nodded. "It's not a big deal if we have to wait. The real problem is that we don't
know when the Sense of Realm will come out. Also, we can't do anything about it except waiting until it
finally shows up."
"Is that so?" Ricky seemed baffled. "Do you think Clark knows about the timing?" Ricky's expression
was immediately replaced with confusion.
"Whether he is already aware of it or not, we will have to keep a closer eye on him from now on. We
can't let him get out of our sight and allow him to continue with whatever plot he has in mind," Pearl
muttered with strong conviction.
Among all those who wanted their hands on the Sense of Realm, Pearl was definitely the one who
cared about it the most. This prompted her to be more cautious of anyone who posed a threat on the
attainment of her goal.
"Alright, then. I'll go to the Ling Clan once more. I hope that I can leave some runic marks on Clark to
help make the monitoring a lot easier," Ricky declared and began taking quick paces away from the
group.
He prepared himself and he was about to set out to return to the Ling Clan.
At this moment, a bravo of the Great Star Dynasty came in and said that someone from the Ling Clan
had sent a letter.
This news aroused the curiosity of all those who were present. Dylan took over and read the letter
aloud for everyone to hear.
"What does ·Andrea· want ·this time, sir?" Ricky asked, stopping in his tracks.
"Andrea has asked for a fight to the death in the Explosion Core...in ten days!" Dylan announced after
taking a deep breath.
