Purple Clock

The Purple Clock, more often called the Ancient Clock after its secret is exposed, is the true treasure hidden by Purple Clock Emperor. It can shelter occupants, redirect explosions, and transmit a destructive demon-note attack. Luo Feng takes it after defeating its owner and assigns its operation to controlled emperor servants while retaining ownership. (Chapters 845, 858–860, and 896–899)

History

Purple Clock Emperor's concealed trump card

Purple Clock Emperor hides the ancient clock behind lesser fire-clock techniques and a purple defensive membrane. Trapped with Gold Cang and Luo Feng, he expands the clock around the room, steps through its wall as its recognized owner, and detonates a Flame God Crystal inside. The clock focuses the blast instead of merely containing it, multiplying the force directed at Gold Cang, but Gold Cang's self-destruction shows that controlling an overwhelming explosion still taxes both treasure and user. (Chapters 844–845)

Capture and delegated use

Luo Feng survives the conflict, kills Purple Clock Emperor, and acquires the clock. He initially lets the enslaved Heavy Arrow use it for defense, later conceals it as a trump card, and ultimately assigns it to Ji Hong Emperor because Ji Hong's fire-and-space comprehension better fits its technique. Ji Hong uses the clock to shelter allied servants and projects its demon-note attack through Tian Chen's Separation Tower. (Chapters 858–860, 865, and 896–899)

Retention after evaluation

Luo Feng offers the clock to True Yan, who declines because it does not fit his path. Much later, the human contribution system values it at 89 treasure points, but the narrative only says Luo Feng is testing valuations; unlike Ancient Ship Galaxy and other items, it never records him consenting to contribute the clock. Its latest explicit ownership therefore remains with Luo Feng, although its final physical storage location is not specified. (Chapters 885 and 1049)

Abilities and properties

• It expands into a sealed clock-shaped enclosure, can merge into a recognized user's body, and diffuses most incoming material force while protecting occupants. (Chapters 845 and 865–899)
• It can contain an external explosion and concentrate that energy in a chosen direction, but the user must actively control the redirected force; an unexpectedly powerful blast can exceed comfortable control. (Chapter 845)
• Its primary inherited technique is Demon Note Fire Clock, a fast sound-like attack able to pass through a lesser palace treasure and damage an undying body. (Chapter 899)
• Effective use has demanding fire-and-space law requirements. Purple Clock Emperor reaches only the first level, while Ji Hong advances into the second. (Chapter 899)
