Chapter 466

Half-brothers from the same father but different mothers.

Yet, looking at the two of them, they didn't seem like brothers at all; they looked more like friends.

In the Eastern Domain Continent.

Although humans and monsters were evenly matched in strength.

Humans generally held the upper hand over the monsters.

The entire human race was almost entirely under the control of the four great empires, extremely cohesive and centralized.

Thus, their power was also concentrated together.

Whenever a war broke out, they could always muster the strongest combat force.

But the monsters were different.

They were scattered across the vast grasslands, forests, lakes, oceans, and swamps of the Eastern Domain Continent.

Even though their numbers far exceeded those of humans.

Because their living habits caused them to be spread too far apart, it was difficult for them to gather together.

Therefore, generally speaking, it was only natural that humans suppressed the monsters.

However, the monsters were not all scattered like loose sand.

Among the monsters, most lived in groups.

And among these monster groups, there were some extremely massive ones.

Much like the four great empires of humanity.

They could be considered behemoths.

Among them were the Dragon race, the Phoenix race, the Qilin race, and the Taotie race.

As the four giants of the monster world, even the four great empires did not dare to provoke them easily.

Likewise, as the races at the peak of intelligence and power among the monster clans.

They would not easily provoke the peak powers of humanity either.

Therefore, even though mutual hunting between humans and monsters happened every moment, it was generally just skirmishes at the lower levels.

The relations between the true giants of humanity and the monsters remained very peaceful.

As for the ages of the Flame King and Xuan Xuan Yuanhu.

Just as Qin Feng expected, their true ages were not as young as they appeared at this moment.

The Flame King was already 50 years old; Qin Feng had guessed this long ago.

After all, the Phoenix had previously said that when the Flame King was only 50, he already possessed the strength to rival the Phoenix of that time.

And when they had encountered the Flame King earlier, it was exactly when the Flame King was fighting the Phoenix.

But Xuan Xuan Yuanhu's age exceeded their expectations.

In terms of appearance alone, Xuan Xuan Yuanhu looked even younger than the Flame King.

But in fact, he was already 130 years old.

He was a full double the age of the Flame King.

Let alone being brothers, if one were to judge by age, Qin Feng would have believed them if someone said they were grandfather and grandson.

It was no wonder they didn't act like brothers.

Wasn't this a friendship across generations?

Just like the Phoenix, who didn't know much about the human world.

The Flame King and Xuan Xuan Yuanhu didn't know much about the specific situation within the monster world either.

As for the specific situation within humanity, the four great empires governed the entire Eastern Domain Continent.

They were the Sunset Empire, the Moon Radiance Empire, the Star River Empire, and the Big Dipper Empire.

These four great empires were all named after celestial phenomena in the sky.

Although Beigong Yun and Beigong Shang did not notice this due to cultural differences from different time-spaces.

But Qin Feng had noticed it.

Four empires standing like a tripod, yet their names were so systematic.

Qin Feng did not think this was a coincidence.

Compared to the Flame King, whose combat strength was peerless among the four great empires.

Xuan Xuan Yuanhu's strength was not expressed through external power.

On the contrary, if one were to judge solely by cultivation, Xuan Xuan Yuanhu's strength was not among the top tier in the entire Sunset Empire.

It could only be considered upper-middle.

Yet his age was more than a cycle older than the Flame King.

This sounded as if he were just a very ordinary cultivator.

But in fact, Xuan Xuan Yuanhu had poured all his energy into the cultivation and research of the soul.

Therefore, in terms of understanding the soul and spiritual power.

No one in the entire Eastern Domain Continent could surpass him.

It was just that very few people knew this.

Only a few people who were close to him.

And the Flame King was one of them.

Regarding the intelligence on the four great empires of the ancient era.

If one really wanted to talk about it, even just a general overview would take a long time.

They spent a day and a night, and only learned the basics.

But for them, this was enough.

Time was tight, so they stopped at that for the intelligence.

As for the final, most important condition proposed by Qin Feng.

It was naturally to help Beigong Shang find the reason he came here, and if appropriate, send Beigong Shang back to the future time-space.

Qin Feng didn't need to say this; Xuan Xuan Yuanhu and the Flame King had already guessed it.

Next, Xuan Xuan Yuanhu and the Flame King would take Beigong Shang to find the cause.

Meanwhile, Qin Feng and the others would continue moving forward while maintaining the visual link with Beigong Shang.

After all, it was unknown when Beigong Shang's matter would be resolved.

They couldn't just wait here forever.

Moving on both sides was safer.

Furthermore, although Beigong Shang was in the ancient era, it was unknown if he could find the way back.

But he was conscious and could communicate with Qin Feng and the others.

The Feng brothers were completely different.

Up to this moment, with such a big thing happening and so much time passing.

There was still no movement from the Feng brothers' side.

Qin Feng's request for a visual link also received no response.

No matter how he called out, the Feng brothers were like the dead, with no movement at all.

After resuming their journey, Qin Feng continued as he had when searching for Beigong Shang.

He judged the direction of the Feng brothers based on the distance sensed by the Soul Chain.

But this time, he encountered a problem.
