Chapter 1803: with translation of chapter title
Xiao Feng's mood instantly became anxious.
But he could do nothing!
After all, that's a Dao Ancestor!
If a Dao Ancestor wishes to harm someone, even if other Dao Ancestors protect them, they may not be able to stop it!
Thinking that Xun Shuang Xianzi had been in the Void Sea for nearly a year, his heart felt as if fire burned and knives scraped, extremely hard to endure.
The Wan Hua Ling Zhu said no more; having spoken this much was enough, and further words might invite trouble.
Although Xiao Feng was anxious, he could do nothing, so he could only think positively.
Xun Shuang Xianzi is a perfect being jointly created by the Creator God, Fuxi the Ancient Ancestor, and the "Primordial True King," creator of the Eight Great Beast Gods; her purpose is to replace the Supreme God as the "Heavenly Dao" of all realms.
Thus, the Dao Ancestor of the Void Sea likely would, out of respect for those three great beings, not make things difficult for Xun Shuang.
If the Dao Ancestor does not act, the Venerable dare not act, and the Ancestral God is no match for her...
Thinking this way, Xun Shuang Xianzi's safety should still be fine.
Hopefully that is the case...
Xiao Feng convinced himself in this way.
"Master."
"Big brother, this thing… how terrifying! Could all the people in the city have been killed by it?"
Xiao Mi and He Xianzi flew back, seeing the changes after the stele shattered, and both cried out in fear.
Xiao Feng steadied himself, nodded, and said: "This is the work of a Dao Ancestor; among the experts who acted against the War Ancient State back then, one was an existence equal to the War's Primordial Ancestor."
By now, the situation of the War Ancient State's downfall has some clues.
However, why that Void Sea Dao Ancestor acted remains a mystery. Moreover, this is only one city of the War Ancient State, not the whole picture; the state's overall condition may be even more complex.
Xiao Feng took out the arrowhead again and infused it with divine power once more.
The arrowhead trembled, then flew toward where the stele had originally been.
It circled once around the broken stele, emitting a suction force.
A special qi in the surrounding air was drawn in, gradually condensing into a wooden fragment that attached to it.
A small section of arrow shaft appeared behind the arrowhead's tail.
"It turns out the arrow shaft is here; it was suppressed by a Dao Ancestor." He Xianzi said in surprise.
Xiao Feng shook his head to correct: "No, it split itself, wanting to protect the civilians suppressed by the stele. But too much time passed with no one coming to rescue, so ultimately the city's populace still withered and died."
Even ordinary treasures have spirits, let alone a Dao Ancestor's weapon.
This arrow should be the War Ancient State's national treasure; when disaster struck, to protect the civilians, it broke itself into several sections, using supreme divinity to guard those pressed under the seal-domain curse.
Alas, no reinforcements arrived, so it was all in vain.
Only a small section of the arrow shaft has recovered, not the whole; it seems there are other places to go.
Surely, after the arrowhead summoned back its remnants, it rose into the air again, turned slightly, and immediately flew toward a direction.
"Come on, let's follow!"
Xiao Feng took Xiao Mi, pressed He Xianzi down to turn her into a bird, flipped up, and continued the pursuit.
"Oh dear, I don't want to be a bird; let me hold hands and fly with you!" He Xianzi protested.
Xiao Feng directly ignored her.
Millions of corpses had not been buried in time, and a dead city thus appeared upon the land.
The arrowhead sped swiftly; He Xianzi had to fly at full speed to barely keep up.
It seemed to have voluntarily slowed its speed to wait for them; otherwise it could go even faster.
After flying swiftly for an hour, crossing hundreds of thousands of li, the three followed the arrowhead to above a great lake.
The arrowhead stopped, began to circle, and the destination arrived.
"Is there also a city here?"
Xiao Feng put away the arrowhead and released his divine sense to probe beneath the great lake.
This lake is several hundred meters deep, similar to the desert sand layer; the lake bottom has much silt, but traces of a former city can still be discerned.
Under the lake's soaking, the preservation of this city is obviously inferior to that of the city beneath the desert.
The water need not be drained; one can simply dive down.
Xiao Feng flickered downward, approaching the lakebed, using his divine sense to search for the stele's whereabouts.
Xiao Mi and He Xianzi closely followed, also helping to watch two directions.
Within the lake water there were some creatures: various sizes of fish, microorganisms, plants, etc.; however, no powerful beings were seen, the strongest being only at demi-god level.
The spiritual energy concentration in this region is very low, possibly making it extremely difficult to nurture a true god; this too is a sorrow.
The lake's range is quite large, but with three true gods searching together, undisturbed, they still quickly found the target object.
Indeed, there is also a stele here, just like the previous one: over thirty meters tall, no inscriptions, surface texture resembling metal.
Xiao Feng had his two companions retreat, then released his heart-sword again.
In a violent explosion, a void rift appeared, large amounts of lake water were devoured by the void. The stele also shattered on cue, releasing a great number of lives that had been sealed within.
Naturally, they too had already withered and died.
Tens of millions of ancient humans turned into corpses, scattered across the lakebed's silt and sand, a horrifying sight.
If someone came here to dive and play, and stumbled upon this scene, who knows how frightened they would be.
However, in Xiao Feng's view, there was no terror, only sorrow.
At the broken stele, another arrow shaft fragment was released, joining with the arrowhead to become whole.
"Looking at this, there should still be at least ten or so arrow shaft sections." Xiao Mi guessed after observing the degree of recovery.
This arrowhead is relatively large, about palm-length, roughly half the size of a spearhead; the arrow shaft is estimated to be about 1.5 meters long, possibly even longer.
Now it has only recovered about 20 centimeters; obviously many fragments are still scattered among the various ruins of the War Ancient State.
"We'll keep searching, we must find it all back!" Xiao Feng didn't hesitate, continuing to infuse divine power into the arrowhead.
Whoosh~
The arrowhead flew out once again, taking them to the next location.
The map area visible to Xiao Feng was expanding; as the arrowhead flew, a long line was drawn across this unexplored region.
The location of the War Ancient State is billions of kilometers from the headquarters of the Yuan Su Shen Yu, belonging to a completely unexplored region.
Moreover, judging from what he encountered while flying here, there likely are no players from other battle zones visiting nearby.
This is a forsaken, dead silent land, with only ordinary beings and an environment of thin spiritual energy, unable to cultivate strong ones—like a desert on an ordinary Planet, even more barren than a desert.
Xiao Feng followed the arrowhead to a rainforest.
But even in such a vibrant rainforest environment, he still felt no aura of any being over level 300. For the Myriad Heavens Battlefield, such a place is truly rare; only here, in the relics of the War Ancient State, can one encounter it.
