Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled-Chapter 408 - 404: Ancient Divine Techniques, Heaven and Earth
No matter what the situation outside, Xia Feng was probing his Divine Sense into the Plum Blossom Brand.
Inside was an Eight Diagrams Mirror, about the size of a palm.
After taking it out, he found that everyone else was also holding this mirror.
He used his Divine Sense to slightly sense it and knew that this mirror was called the Killing Mirror, and his was of the Top Grade Secret Treasure level.
In the hands of Dongfang Qingcang, Xia Tianming, and Tang Yunqi were those of the Upper Grade Secret Treasure level.
Among them, it seemed that Dongfang Qingcang’s was stronger, and the remaining six people obtained those of the Middle Grade Secret Treasure level.
These Killing Mirrors each have their own abilities when dispersed, but if combined to form an array, the power can be slightly increased.
The effect of the array depends on the level of the strongest array core.
Xia Feng slightly furrowed his brows, glancing at Dongfang Qingcang opposite him. This thing certainly worked better with more of them.
His, plus Xia Tianming’s and Tang Yunqi’s, could at most form a Three Talents Array.
But if Dongfang Qingcang could cooperate with the others, they could form a Seven Kills Array.
While hesitating on how to snatch all those small mirrors, the Plum Blossom Brand on the back of his hand began to heat up slightly again.
With some doubt, Xia Feng plunged his Divine Sense in again, and then he sensed a little golden figure appearing inside.
When his Divine Sense reached over, the little golden figure seemed to glare at him once.
In an instant, golden pupils released various pieces of information that drilled into Xia Feng’s Divine Sense, leaving him momentarily dazed.
Next to him, Xia Tianming quickly supported him, asking worriedly, "What’s wrong?"
Seeing that no one else around had this reaction, it seemed to be unique to him; the others evidently didn’t have this extra reward.
Comparing their achievements, apart from being the first to reach the top of the Heaven-Ascending Ladder, he was also the only one near the Wuji Divine Monarch illusion. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
The golden light in the eyes of the little figure, when looking over, was exactly like the previous cold eyes of the Wuji Divine Monarch illusion, as they looked down on him.
This was a special reward; it was Ancient Divine Techniques!
According to the information transmitted by the little golden figure, this Ancient Divine Technique was called Heaven and Earth.
If cultivated to perfection, it could manifest a colossal law image, terrifying in power.
Xia Feng, with a slightly dazed expression, thought of that illusion in mid-air.
This thing... could it be Heaven and Earth?
If it truly was as he guessed, was the Wuji Divine Monarch really dead?
Why did the Sea of Secret Realm need so much fresh blood, was it really just to sustain the Blood Beasts?
Xia Feng didn’t dare think much more, but with the mindset of keeping a low profile for big gains, he didn’t disclose anything about this Ancient Divine Technique to anyone.
Instead, he planned to use the rest time over the next two days to enter the Dream Realm Pearl and cultivate this newly acquired Ancient Divine Technique.
Exchanging a glance with Xia Tianming, the two immediately and tacitly looked away.
Xia Feng found a quiet corner, boldly assuming a cultivation posture, and then buried his Divine Sense into the Dream Realm Pearl to start cultivating the new divine technique.
Meanwhile, Xia Tianming vigilantly watched the seven people opposite, but made no excessive moves.
As had been proven before, it’s impossible to attack each other on this waiting platform, as a rule seemed to restrict their actions, preventing mutual slaughter.
But if that were the case, the Secret Realm trial would lose much of its excitement.
The illusion in mid-air glanced down at everyone, then the Plum Blossom Brand on the back of their hands strangely gained a touch of crimson.
This waiting platform now allowed attacks on one another.
Aside from Xia Feng, who was immersed in the Dream Realm Pearl, everyone else’s expressions grew subtly tense.
Xia Tianming immediately moved to guard Xia Feng, then unfolded a pitch-black Great Dao of Space in front of him, directly protecting the space before Xia Feng.
Dongfang Qingcang hadn’t even reacted yet.
When he finally did, it was already a bit too late for him to make a move.
Moreover, Dongfang Qingcang now had a faint suspicion in his heart.
The uproar created by the Wuji Divine Monarch illusion was so significant, yet Xia Feng seemed to know nothing and continued cultivating.
Looks like something is up; perhaps he’s absorbing an extra reward given by the Wuji Divine Monarch for reaching the ninety-ninth step.
Needless to say, Dongfang Qingcang guessed correctly this time, though unfortunately, there was no reward.
Beside him, Tang Yunqi seemed just to realize it, standing next to Xia Tianming, wary of the people opposite.
Dongfang Qingcang came to his senses seeing this stance, his expression gained a few sinister hints.
"That reward should have been mine; this bastard stole what was mine."
Looking a bit dazed, Xia Tianming retorted, "But you couldn’t even reach the sixty-first step, and he took the top prize."
Dongfang Qingcang’s face turned slightly blue, and he declared recklessly, "I don’t care! Anyway, that thing should be mine."
"If he hands over the reward, I might consider sparing his life. Otherwise..."
His gaze was fierce, staring intently at Xia Feng still cultivating in the rear, his face twisting hideously.
Xia Tianming regarded him as if he were a fool, then glanced over at Tang Yunqi again.
"What, is this guy crazy?"
Tang Yunqi was equally shocked, his worldview distinctly shaken.
Opening his mouth, he said, "For heaven’s sake... you couldn’t get it originally, and now you want to force him to hand it over with mere words, have you no shame?"
"Or is it that your Four Great Clans have always attained everything through shameless means?"
Dongfang Qingcang’s face flushed as he hadn’t expected these two dared defy him.
He signaled to the people behind him, then spoke to Xia Tianming and Tang Yunqi, "Since you’re refusing to drink the toast, don’t blame me for being ruthless."
As soon as he finished speaking, the people behind quickly took out the Killing Mirrors and, together with Dongfang Qingcang, formed a Seven Kills Array, the killing intent locking onto Xia Tianming.
"Old bastard, watch me deal with you first, and then tear apart those two guys to get everything back out."
His visage twisted with malice, he aimed the palm-sized Eight Diagrams Mirror at Xia Tianming.
If Xia Feng were awake, the three of them could form a Three Talents Array with the Top Grade Secret Treasure as the array core to somewhat resist.
But now, with only their Upper Grade Secret Treasures, even forming a Yin Yang Array couldn’t withstand the killing intent.
Xia Tianming’s eyes dimmed as he summoned the Void Cauldron from his palm and hurled it directly at the opponents.
