Chapter 28: Scavenging the Prime Artifact (Seeking Readers)

Although Lei Si Jing is stronger, if Wu Man is determined to flee there is nothing he can do, especially if the entanglement drags on and other members of the Ao Gu Si Ta Family get closer, it would be trouble, after all they are now on the territory of the Bright Divine Realm.

Xiao En and Mo Ke Duo naturally did not pursue him; when Lei Si Jing returned, he looked at Xiao En from head to toe and asked, "I heard you killed many elders of the Four Beast Family and even a Divine Envoy? How did you kill them? The soul of Tower Mountain is rather average, but killing it isn't easy; plus there are so many innate divine abilities and Divine Power, how did you block them?"

"." Xiao En was left speechless by so many questions and could only say, "I killed them using soul attacks, with the aid of a magic array that trapped them."

That is the truth; without a magic array, even with the world‑defying soul‑seed ability granted by the soul bead, there might be no chance to kill Tower Mountain.

To annihilate a Divine Envoy is far too difficult; one would need either a Great Perfection, a beast like Bei Lu Te, or a swarm of several same‑rank Divine Envoys.

"Interesting. Come on, let's compare our souls and see who is stronger," Lei Si Jing said, his interest rekindled.

Xiao En hurriedly refused, "Let's not compare then; soul attacks are hard to control, and if we get hurt it's bad. Or we could wait until we get out and try a group assault on a band of strong thieves?"

Unlike physical combat, where one can avoid accidental killing by not striking the head, sparring with soul attacks is hard to control; a single slip can indeed cause death.

Although he knew his strongest soul attack was unlikely to kill Lei Si Jing, he still wouldn't gamble; there was no need.

"Unimpressive," Lei Si Jing waved his hand and said, "We're leaving; you handle it yourself."

Having said that, he took the shadow beside him and flew away directly.

Xiao En watched Lei Si Jing's departing direction, letting out a sigh of relief; it seemed he had no particular strengths and Lei Si Jing hadn't taken any interest in him.

More importantly, Lei Si Jing likely didn't trust him either; trust on the Dimensional Battlefield is hard to come by.

But now he was free and could go do what he wanted.

Choosing a direction, Xiao En slipped straight into the depths of a mountain range.

Hell, Heaven‑Sacrifice Mountains:

"Chief," a red‑haired man bowed to Gai Si Lei Sen atop the great hall and said, "News came from the Bright Divine Realm: Xiao En has entered the Dimensional Battlefield."

"Bright Divine Realm?" Gai Si Lei Sen was momentarily stunned, then recovered: "That's right; this Dimensional Battlefield pits the Nether Realm against the Bright Divine Plane. Who sent the news?"

The Four Beast Family usually doesn't take part in Dimensional Battlefield affairs, but they are aware of such a trillion‑year‑interval apex war.

The red‑haired man replied, "I'm not sure, but I suspect it's the Ao Gu Si Ta Family; they seem to have clashed with Xiao En on the Dimensional Battlefield."

"Ao Gu Si Ta Family? Hmph, they have a senior Divine backing them and have repeatedly conflicted with our clan," Gai Si Lei Sen sneered. "I guess they want to see us and Xiao En cripple each other, then enjoy the spectacle."

The red‑haired man likewise said angrily, "Indeed, on the Bright Divine Plane many of our clan members have been slain by the Ao Gu Si Ta people; it's infuriating."

Against ordinary families, anyone daring to kill members of the Four Beast Family would face severe punishment or even extermination, but against other Divine families, such actions are impossible.

Generally, Divine families don't clash with the Four Beast Family; they keep to their own waters. However, the Ao Gu Si Ta Family disregards the Four Beast Family and has repeatedly conflicted in the Divine Sea.

"Let's set the Ao Gu Si Ta Family aside for now," Gai Si Lei Sen said calmly. "First deal with Xiao En; he is the real internal threat."

After all, the Ao Gu Si Ta Family is a ruling family; even with great discord, a full‑scale war is impossible, and the other side wouldn't completely deny them face, so they wouldn't massacre the Four Beast Family.

But Xiao En did it, which caused the Four Beast Family's prestige to plummet.

The red‑haired man said, "We can't enter the Dimensional Battlefield, Chief."

"No need to go in," Gai Si Lei Sen said coldly. "When this Dimensional war ends, he will surely emerge from the Nether Realm's Jiu You Yu; we just need to station ambushers there."

"Chief, Jiu You Yu is filled with top‑level experts," the red‑haired man warned.

"So what? Our Four Beast Family hasn't actively offended them, and that place isn't a Divine city," Gai Si Lei Sen said indifferently. "Notify the seven Divine Envoys, and each clan should dispatch ten capable Seven‑Star Demon Elders to infiltrate Jiu You Yu;"

"Remember, only those people need go; don't bring an army, or if Xiao En gets word, he might flee."

"Understood," the red‑haired man replied.

Seven Divine Envoys, forty peak Seven‑Star Demon Elders possessing innate divine abilities, plus ample Divine Power, form such a massive force that even the highest‑level masters of the Divine Plane cannot stop them; those bearing three Prime Artifacts might even be cast into spatial turbulence.

On the Dimensional Battlefield, a hundred years passed in the blink of an eye;

During that time, Xiao En buried himself deep underground, using his powerful divine perception to sense his surroundings; a range of ten thousand meters isn't vast, and in a hundred years he only encountered one party, but they were too numerous, so he didn't act.

"Boom~~"

Suddenly, distant energy fluctuations made Xiao En open his eyes: "The 16th time, I hope this one brings me a surprise."

In this hundred years, he wasn't in a hurry to slay commanders for badges, because even with Lei Si Jing's might, after countless entries into the battlefield he hadn't earned ten badges, let alone succeed in a few attempts.

Moreover, even if he could kill other commanders, he couldn't take their Prime Artifacts, because the Divine would trace the killer through the slain; the best method is scavenging, since in others' battles, when a Divine Envoy dies, their Prime Artifact is left on the battlefield.

A Prime Artifact useless to others is valuable to him;

However, over the past hundred years, when he sensed a great battle in the distance, he would sneak over, but most of those battles ended without result—either the dead had no Prime Artifact, or neither side died and the fight dissolved.

The combat was about ten thousand li from Xiao En; after approaching a hundred li, he stopped, as the presence of Divine Power ahead would reveal his proximity.

After about twenty minutes the battle ended, but he didn't rush forward; instead he waited, letting his divine perception disperse, and noticed others nearby also watching the spectacle.

But after half a day, they all left;

Once safety was assured, Xiao En finally reached the battlefield; at that moment he saw on the ground a blue‑green longsword, a wind‑attribute Prime Artifact.

He had finally scavenged a Prime Artifact.
