Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled-Chapter 275 - 273: Undersea Whirlpool, Entering the Ancient Ruins
Seeing the sea beasts across the way losing patience and gathering as if to form another formation,
Xia Feng felt anxious.
The previous hit nearly cost him half his life. If not for the infusion of power from the Great Dao of Life, he might not have been able to stand here and search for the so-called Treasure Land.
After searching for so long without any clues, Xia Feng himself started to doubt if this Treasure Map was really just a trap.
Hesitating for a bit, he looked down at Nine Evils: "Do you have a way to find the place where the Spiritual Qi in this area is unusual?"
Just as he finished speaking and before Nine Evils could respond, a massive whirlpool suddenly rose from the seabed behind them.
If it were just other undercurrents, it would have been fine, but the sudden whirlpool dragged the entire Void Cauldron into it.
Xia Feng was stunned, struggling to control the Void Cauldron and escape the whirlpool.
However, the whirlpool spun rapidly, and so did the Void Cauldron within it, making Xia Feng inside feel dizzy and nauseated.
Leaving aside trying to maneuver the Void Cauldron out of the whirlpool, if he didn’t cling tightly to the cauldron, he felt like he would be tossed around like a stir-fried dish.
Seriously, was he not destined to be defeated by these sea beasts, only to end up harmed by an undersea whirlpool?
If this got out, wouldn’t he be utterly embarrassed?
That was Xia Feng’s last thought before losing consciousness.
When he awoke again, he saw Nine Evils anxiously poking him with its snake head.
Xia Feng twitched his eyelids, feeling as if every bone in his body was about to fall apart.
He spoke weakly: "Stop poking, or I’ll end up completely gone, and then you’ll have to accompany me."
Nine Evils even dropped a few tears: "Boo hoo, Master, you scared me to death, you’ve been unconscious for three days."
Xia Feng’s face twitched as he struggled to open his eyes, only to be blinded by the dazzling brightness before him, forcing them shut again.
"Where is this?"
Although he only managed a momentary glance, he realized that outside the Void Cauldron was a dry place with no water present.
Nine Evils glanced around uncertainly: "I don’t know, maybe we accidentally entered the Treasure Land?"
Xia Feng couldn’t help but click his tongue, leaning against the Void Cauldron as he gingerly tried to open his eyes again.
On the one hand, it had been three days since he was last conscious and saw light; on the other hand, the place was truly so bright that Xia Feng found it a bit overwhelming.
He first pulled out a few bottles of Elixir from his Storage Ring, downing a few pills. Once he started to feel his body recover, he had the mind to look around at his surroundings.
The area was excessively bright, and as Xia Feng peeked out, it appeared to be a self-contained space.
Directly in front was what looked like a gateway entrance.
Once Xia Feng recovered three to four-tenths inside the cauldron, he put away the Void Cauldron and stumbled towards the gate.
On the surrounding walls hung several fist-sized Treasure Pearls, giving the space an unusually bright glow.
The Treasure Pearls appeared extraordinary, and Xia Feng wanted to seize a couple, but they seemed to be firmly embedded, and not even the Power of the Demigod could remove them.
After another lap, he returned to face the gate.
The heart of this space was this gate; everything else was glimmering with jewels or treasures, but the gate itself looked remarkably simple.
Xia Feng didn’t dare to act hastily; he cautiously placed his hand on the door ring.
A mysterious gaze seemed to fall upon him from the void, clearing his mind instantly, even healing most of his injuries.
Gathering his senses, Xia Feng’s eyes reflected a touch of realization.
This space was indeed the Treasure Land depicted on the Treasure Map, an ancient ruins whose age he could not fathom.
The ancient ruins were originally designed by Divine Domain’s Great Powers for training their descendants, yet inexplicably ended up in this current spatial fragment.
Entry to these ancient ruins was barred to those of the Martial God Realm, containing nine checkpoints, each featuring ten Star Beasts. Only by defeating all Star Beasts can the next checkpoint be accessed.
Xia Feng wore a puzzled expression, given that the method of information transfer felt similar to a Divine Sense Transmission, making him certain he hadn’t misheard: the message included Star Beasts.
He’s heard of Demon Beasts, Exotic Beasts, Sea Beasts, and even rumors of Magic Beasts,
but he never knew that anything like Star Beasts existed.
He raised his head slightly; the space here revealed no sky, only a side of pure white void.
So-called Star Beasts, could they be a Beast Race from the stars?
Thinking too much was useless, ancient ruins left by the Great Powers would certainly not be intended to harm people. Since entry of the Martial God Realm was restricted, it suggested the attack intensity inside wasn’t excessive.
He gripped the handle tightly, taking a deep breath before pushing the gate open.
Upon opening it, darkness enveloped him, sucking him into a pitch-black space.
Xia Feng squinted slightly, trying to sense the surrounding space.
The space was not very large, though farther away there seemed to be some flickering light.
Having just entered the space, Xia Feng was yet to adjust his vision, so he cautiously used his Divine Sense to perceive everything around him.
Suddenly, there seemed to be movement ahead, as an enormous claw emerged from the void, swiping viciously towards Xia Feng.
A Space Element Star Beast?
No, no, this method of emergence didn’t resemble Spatial Element.
Xia Feng was initially startled, then quickly checked the surrounding space.
Sure enough, soon ten waves of motion occurred consecutively, bringing forth ten Celestial Tier Third Layer Martial Emperor Level Star Beasts from the void.
He examined this time closely, noticing those distant flickering light sparks appeared to flicker even more as the Star Beasts emerged.
Therefore, were the Star Beasts absorbing Star Power, using it for cultivation and attacks?
These were easily dealt with; simply using the Void Cauldron to block the Star Power, and these Star Beasts could no longer utilize it.
However, Xia Feng remained in a foul mood from the sea beasts’ assault earlier, and these weak Star Beasts seemed the perfect targets to vent.
Drawing the Qingxue Sword, he viciously attacked the ten Star Beasts.
In just moments, the ten Star Beasts were cut to pieces.
Wiping his blade, light flooded the scene once more, causing Xia Feng to squint again.
Once again, he found himself back in front of the gate.
Clicking his tongue, Xia Feng worried if his eyes might get affected by the constant brightness.
He glanced around; the gate remained tightly shut, appearing unchanged.
If not for the Qingxue Sword still smeared with the Star Beast’s blood, he might have suspected that everything he’d experienced was merely a hallucination.
