Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled-Chapter 279 - 277: Refining the Spirit Light Flying Boat, Great Xia War God ’Falls
Star Power... Divine Fire Platform...
For some unknown reason, Xia Feng suddenly thought of the ten stars from earlier when the Nameless Divine Technique entered his body.
His gaze flickered slightly, and he closed his eyes to start comprehending the stars.
Two more days passed, and with the help of the Dream Realm Pearl, Xia Feng finally understood the operation method of the Nameless Divine Technique.
This demonstrated the difficulty of entering the door to the Nameless Divine Technique.
It took a full thirty thousand years of comprehension just to barely get started.
However, the ten Divine Fire Platforms all solidified, though the divine fire on them still carried some faint afterimages, seeming not quite solid.
Xia Feng was not in a hurry. At this point, he could even exchange blows with a Profound Tier Martial God, let alone a Yellow Tier Martial God.
The demigod sea beasts outside could no longer pose a threat to him, and he took out the shuttle-shaped spirit boat he obtained after clearing the last challenge for a closer look.
Thinking that the artifact of a great power was likely of the same lineage, Xia Feng infused it with his Divine Sense carrying some Star Power.
This spirit boat, named Spirit Light Flying Boat, could travel through space with extraordinary speed.
Artifacts usually focused on speed tend to have weaker attack power and defense, but the Spirit Light Flying Boat was different. It could withstand attacks from Martial Gods below the Profound Tier.
If bathed in starlight, it could even withstand a blow from an Earth Tier Martial God.
But it would only block it once; it would break eventually.
It contained Space Divine Power within, enough to hold a million people inside.
Xia Feng’s eyes lit up. Previously, he had been frustrated since he was cursed with a mysterious affliction and didn’t know if he could undo it.
He himself wasn’t too concerned, but the problem was he needed to lead his army to another continent. If he continually attracted sea beast attacks, the million-strong army wouldn’t survive.
Now having this flying boat could solve all the issues seamlessly.
Xia Feng did not rush back to the Northern Continent but instead refined the Spirit Light Flying Boat within the space of the Ancient Ruins before setting out.
Before leaving, his expression carried a hint of hesitation and probing as he looked at those treasure pearls.
When he first entered, he had tried and failed to take those treasure pearls.
Now that he was about to leave, having passed through all the challenges in this space and taken away all its treasures.
Leaving those treasure pearls here would be a waste, so he tentatively covered his hand with Star Power and reached for them.
The previously stubborn treasure pearls were effortlessly plucked away this time.
Xia Feng didn’t leave a single one behind, and after collecting them all, he felt much more at ease in the now vacant and dark space, placing his hand on the door knocker.
Opening the door, he found himself back in the place where the water tornado had appeared.
Because of Xia Feng’s sudden disappearance, the demigod sea beasts regained their senses and mostly dispersed, leaving only some Martial Sovereign level sea beasts.
Xia Feng easily dealt with those sea beasts, then summoned the Spirit Light Flying Boat intending to try controlling it.
Although it had already been refined and acknowledged him as its master, artifacts always need some time to harmonize with their user, especially since it seemed to be of the same level as the Void Cauldron.
He wasn’t skilled in controlling the Great Dao of Space, only vaguely familiar because of his prolonged use of the Void Cauldron.
Operating the Spirit Light Flying Boat also encountered some difficulties, but fortunately, it could still function using Star Power.
He entered it, and seeing the pitch-black void, clicked his tongue as he inlaid the treasure pearls obtained from the Ancient Ruins around to illuminate the space.
The center of the spirit boat had a disc, which had already merged with his body during the refining process, allowing him to navigate spatial jumps with it.
Thinking that he had previously instructed Feng Yu to wait for him by the coast, he didn’t directly jump back to the Great Li Empire but instead headed to the nearby coast.
The ships on the sea were absent, and Xia Feng looked puzzled as he landed and knocked on the door of a house.
"Elder, I used to see many ships around here; why have they all disappeared?"
The elder’s expression held a trace of wariness, "You don’t know? It’s said that the Great Xia War God died in the Endless Sea, and the Beiman took the opportunity to annex Great Li, so the last Celestial Wind Emperor rushed back to help Great Li."
"If Great Li is swallowed up, we are the next target."
"Sigh, the Beiman people are far more brutal than the Great Xia. If they conquer us, how are we supposed to live? We might as well gather our strength and see if we can help Great Li a bit."
"Besides, even someone as powerful as the Great Xia War God perished in the Endless Sea. Who would still dare to seek opportunities there, valuing money over life?"
Xia Feng’s expression stiffened slightly, puzzled, "Who said the Great Xia War God was dead?"
The elder was also somewhat puzzled, "The people from the Beiman Empire said so, and indeed, the Great Xia War God hasn’t been seen for the last half a month. Even though death rumors are spreading everywhere, he hasn’t appeared to refute them."
Xia Feng took out a few Spirit Stones and handed them to the elder, "Thank you, sir, for clarifying this."
After turning away, his face became extraordinarily grim; just half a month at sea, and he’d mysteriously ’died.’
However, thinking back, if it hadn’t been for the accidental discovery of the entrance to the Ancient Ruins, he might truly not have survived among those sea beasts.
Presumably, the Beiman had more than one trick up their sleeve, and each Khan was already on their way to Great Xia. Meanwhile, Xia Feng had wiped out the Great Li’s high-tier Martial Sovereigns, leaving the Great Xia War Gods in charge.
With attacks from both ends, Great Li indeed had a tough time.
Now, it wasn’t just Great Li that faced difficulties, but Xia Feng himself, ready to settle old and new scores.
Squinting slightly, his Divine Sense flashed as he controlled the Spirit Light Flying Boat through this space.
The old man glanced at the Spirit Stones, initially wanting to say there was no need for such valuable things, but when he looked up again, Xia Feng was nowhere to be seen.
He mumbled a couple of words and touched the Spirit Stones, "Could I have possibly encountered an immortal?"
The Spirit Light Flying Boat traveled extremely fast, but due to his unfamiliarity with its control, his landing was somewhat off target. Initially aiming for the Da Li Province Capital, he ended up near the Taihang Mountain Range.
Xia Feng put away the flying boat, and his Divine Sense expanded in a nearly brute force manner to perceive the battlefield as it currently was.
After a while, his tightly furrowed brows slightly relaxed. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
Although the Beiman Empire had caught Great Xia off guard while Xia Feng was absent, neither Gu Sha nor Chen Hongyu were pushovers.
Rallying the troops for a counterattack, despite the Beiman being a horseback race where everyone was a warrior, Great Xia soldiers were also battle-hardened, resulting in a fierce and unresolved battle.
Xia Feng’s aggressive Divine Sense probing was quickly sensed by people of the Martial Sovereign level.
Such an act was particularly offensive, and those being probed furiously traced Xia Feng’s Divine Sense back. Both the Martial Sovereigns from Great Xia and Beiman fell silent for a moment.
