Chapter 2145

After half a day passed, Xiao Feng obtained 314 pages of the Book of Slaughter from over a hundred lords in the alliance area, added his own, gathering 324 pages, barely meeting Qian Sha's exchange condition.

These pages essentially drained all the remaining pages in the alliance area; some of those lords originally had none, but they bought them from players in their own war zones out of respect for Xiao Feng.

In this round, one could say the effect of 'face' was greatly exerted.

What also annoyed Xiao Feng was that the final pages were not absorbed by himself, but used to exchange for a skill…

"I hope the skill Qian Sha gives is strong enough not to disappoint the lords," Xiao Feng thought.

If this Eight-tier Secret Art does not play a key role in the Battle of the Star Sovereign, then this exchange would be a bit of a loss.

"324 pages, I've done my best; come find me when you're free." He sent a message to Qian Sha.

Upon hearing the amount, Qian Sha was also satisfied, replying: "Good, I just finished my cultivation; send me the coordinates."

Xiao Feng flew to the border of the Chaos Divine Nation and waited outside the Prestige Golden Seal.

Not long after, a void door opened, and Qian Sha, shrouded in black mist, stepped out.

Come to think of it, they hadn't seen each other for quite a while; the last time was fighting on the 3v3 arena.

Upon meeting again, Qian Sha was markedly different from before; beneath the black mist, his soul seemed like a radiant star, involuntarily inspiring awe.

Xiao Feng also had this feeling himself; it is the innate will aura of a controller achieved in reality, more 'blinding' than that of ordinary players.

A bit.

Moreover, with the advent of the Supreme Holy Artifact, each wore a Supreme Holy Ring, exuding an indescribable noble aura that even many Venerable-realm experts cannot compare to.

"Tsk tsk, you've changed a lot."

Qian Sha's first words were exactly what Xiao Feng also wanted to say.

"Exactly the same. Sigh… I really don't want to be your opponent; with so many treasures and such high comprehension value, just thinking about it is frightening." Xiao Feng sighed.

Qian Sha laughed heartily: "You make it sound as if I wanted to be your opponent."

Though said that way, both tacitly avoided mentioning the Blood Oath Alliance.

Otherwise, if they allied, the system would bear witness; they could not become enemies, nor could they betray during the alliance period.

The era of hegemony is about to arrive; the next ten years will be a time of chaotic warfare and great contention across the world.

By then, even the closest friends cannot hold back.

Because behind each person lies their own homeland faction that must be defended!

"I truly don't know what the end of the hegemony era will look like." Xiao Feng looked to the future, feeling a sense of bewilderment.

Qian Sha laughed: "Never mind that; we'll see when the time comes. Speaking of which, your homeland's environment should be pretty good now, right?"

"Yeah, it's improved a lot since the server launched." Xiao Feng nodded.

Qian Sha said: "This is the first contribution you've made for your homeland taking effect. In the upcoming hegemony wars, regardless of the outcome, with your current strength you will surely undergo a second great transformation; by then your homeland might leap forward again, becoming one of the universe's top holy lands."

"A holy land… that's probably not realistic." Xiao Feng shook his head.

So-called holy lands mostly have a Dao Ancestor seated

the places they guard have many opportunities, are conducive to cultivation, and the living environment is extremely good.

The Nine Provinces World, Blue Star No. 1, and the place where Qian Sha is located are all such holy lands.

"Who knows? I've heard the Lord of the Universe is a very generous person, and since you're of the same clan, he might indeed generously intervene to reshape your homeland."

"This… maybe."

Xiao Feng remained noncommittal.

He had examined the Lord of the Universe's growth history and knew this senior was indeed generous.

But he is now a controller; some things have changed from before.

Changing his homeland planet… perhaps relying on himself is the correct way.

After all, whatever others give, no matter how good, remains theirs; the stronger one becomes, the less one can rely on others, not even external objects.

Know that weapons will one day break, and the sun will eventually extinguish. Perhaps that is far off, but external things remain external, not belonging to oneself.

Only by personally proving the Dao and attaining eternity, transcending all things, can one truly establish oneself in the universe.

"Best, best…"

"To transcend beyond the universe, no longer relying even on the cosmic environment!"

But that is too far off; Xiao Feng can only think of it in his heart, and speaking it aloud would make others deem him a foolish daydreamer.

"Come on, let's trade."

Qian Sha threw a trade request at him.

Xiao Feng chose to accept, then placed the 324 pages of the Book of Slaughter onto it.

On Qian Sha's side, he placed an ancient-looking scroll.

The scroll looks similar to a treasure map, but its content differs greatly.

【Eternal Law Secret Technique: Chapter of the Primordial】

Introduction: One of the seven great eternal law secret techniques; after use, one dreams back to the primordial world to seek opportunities, possibly obtaining a certain

Eight-tier Secret Art inheritance, possibly even a Ninth-tier.

Limitation: Single person entry, level not exceeding 2000.

"The seven great eternal law secret techniques… could there be another scroll?" Xiao Feng looked at the introduction, astonished.

Qian Sha nodded: "This is something I obtained by chance during a treasure hunt; I expended great effort to get it, but aside from this there were no other gains—not even a Venerable holy artifact." His tone held a hint of regret.

"Having this and still not satisfied?" Xiao Feng exclaimed, asking: "Why don't you learn it yourself?"

"Seeking opportunities takes time; I've been busy lately in the Heavenly Tower and the Origin Secret Realm, with no chance to explore its value. I originally planned to try after breaking through the 4500th floor, but I never expected that chatting with you would bring up the Book of Slaughter, so I changed my mind." Qian Sha explained.

Xiao Feng gave a slight nod.

In that case, the value of the Supreme Upper Chapter isn't even clear to Qian Sha.

If there is a chance to comprehend a Ninth-tier Secret Art from it, its value could even surpass that of the Slaughter Formation!

Then I wish you soon collect the massacre's remaining pages.

Xiao Feng confirmed the trade, and both got what they needed.

The ancient secret manual's scroll appeared in Xiao Feng's hands; upon close inspection, he could faintly see a depiction of a vast world.

A colossal divine tree stood on the ground, reaching from heaven to earth, resembling the world tree in the Chaos Secret Realm.

But... it's even bigger!

Qian Sha obtained the remaining pages, chuckling: "Can you exchange your blessing for something else? I've already gathered 999 pages, with three extra."

"Huh?"

Xiao Feng froze.

Qian Sha took out something from his backpack.

A thick stack of golden pages lay in his hands.

Stacked, it was about ten centimeters thick!

"Holy shit, you collected them that fast? Weren't you just at three hundred?" Xiao Feng couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"Haha, that was true before, but after chatting with you, I went shamelessly to those few foreign friends and made a deal, asking them to gather any pages they could find. For these three hundred plus pages, I really went all out." Qian Sha explained with a smile, looking quite pleased.

If it were Xiao Feng, he'd surely be in a great mood too, after all, that's the Book of Slaughter!

"Come on, let's synthesize it now! I can't learn it, but just getting to see it would be nice!" he said with some anticipation.

"Sure!"

Qian Sha nodded decisively, and right in front of him, began synthesizing the item.
