Chapter 776: Towards the Cosmic Vestige of Taurus! (1)

At this moment, Jacob's figure in his long windbreaker flashed past the ancient trees, a circular disk shimmering in ethereal light. But it wasn't just a normal circular disk; it was made like a stylized celestial compass with zodiac symbols etched on it. One of the zodiac symbols of Taurus was glowing brightly as the curled needle on the compass pointed in a certain direction.

This was the Legendary Key of Taurus that Jacob had found many years ago, and right now, it is finally showing its true function and usefulness.

The moment Jacob learned that he had been in the path of legend for over nine years, his first reaction was anxiety. He thought that Immortika had opened the path of legend using its prowess, which probably meant all the paths in other lesser galaxies had been opened as well.

Although Immortika refused to say anything about the Path of Legend except that this was a 'neutral ground' and everyone was for themselves here, he assumed the worst from the get-go.

If the path of legend was opened for nine years for others as well, this means that others had a head start of nine years, and they might've already claimed some Legendary Vestiges or all of them.

However, when he took out the Legendary Key to see if he could get some clues, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the key instantly came to life the moment it appeared in the Path of Legend environment. The compass point that was pointing towards the sky before started to point in a direction, and the symbol of Taurus glows brightly.

Jacob presumed that since the zodiac symbol was still glowing, this could only mean one thing: the Legendary Vestige of Tarsus remains unclaimed. Although this didn't give him any clues about other Legendary Vestiges, as long as this was still unclaimed, there was a hope that others were still in a similar potion.

Immortika might've used its prowess to pull him into the path of legend ahead of time, knowing his situation, but the Path of Legend might still not be open to all galaxies.

Nonetheless, Jacob quickly made his preparations before leaving to follow the legendary key direction, knowing that the truth would surface when he found someone else.

'Is it poison?' Jacob wondered as he looked towards the towering trees.

These trees appeared like babul trees, but their roots covered the lands, and they pulsed in emerald light. Some of these trees even had vague runic patterns. Furthermore, the three with those runic patterns have golden flowers on them, which attracts others' attention.

When Jacob looked towards those flowers, he found strange mist emitting from them, invisible to the naked eye, and he instantly guessed that the poison in the air was coming from them.

After his Eyes of Judge became more powerful, he was now able to see more, not just the color spectrum of particles but also more unique details about anything with magic, and he now didn't even need to use his soul force to see those details.

He was excited about what he would be able to do once his eyes reached the intermediate stage of their awakening. But right now, with his flaming eyes, he looked just like any lich, and he knew he could use his current appearance in many ways. Moreover, the Star Watch seemed useless here as there were no signals for Star Network, which also means that there was no interference from outsiders in the Path of Legend.

However, at this moment, Jacob suddenly stopped and stowed away the legendary key before he turned invisible, hiding behind a tree and coldly looking southeast.

A few minutes passed like that, but Jacob remained hidden. At this moment, a silhouette of a large beast appeared. Above this beast were three people wearing ancient-style robes, which weren't the norm in the lesser galaxy of Taurus.

Furthermore, the barbarian with a horn glowing in the middle of his forehead was holding a runic disc in his hand and closely observing it.

He suddenly opened its mouth and said to his other two companions, "The key traces vanished here!"

Jacob's eyes flickered in astonishment when he heard those unexpected words, 'They can track legendary keys!?'
