"How can they be this strong?" Xia Chen and Guo Ran looked utterly shocked.
After escaping, the three found a secluded place to rest. Guo Ran's armor was battered to pieces, nearly ruined.
"If we were born here too, we'd be stronger than them, but it's okay. The innate gap can be made up for the future." Seeing Xia Chen and Guo Ran feeling a bit frustrated from the beating, Long Chen comforted them.
Xia Chen and Guo Ran were absolute experts in Nieying Heaven, but here, being beaten to a pulp by a group of peers of the same level made them feel uneasy, as if they had been thrown from heaven into hell. The contrast was hard for them to accept.
This was also Long Chen's first time facing the prodigies here. Now, he finally believed the words of the dragon clan's powerhouse. Among the prodigies of the human race, he was a top-tier powerhouse, but here, he was no longer that person.
That powerful member of the Heavenly Bone Mammoth clan would never lie to him. He said he ranked seventh among their peers, which only referred to the Immortal King realm; there might be even more terrifying beings at other realms.
As for the Heavenly Bone Mammoth clan, in this world, they are just one of many races. By this calculation, among the younger generation here, there must be countless prodigies like him.
The prodigies of the Heavenly Bone Mammoth clan, although not as strong as Long Aotian or Lian Wuying, were still on par with Ye Wuchen and Zhao Xingtian. It should be noted that both Ye Wuchen and Zhao Xingtian came from immortal families, forged into powerhouses with endless resources.
And such powerful figures are everywhere in this world—how could anyone not be shocked?
This was just the beginning. Who knew what terrifying existence might come later? The strong beings in this world were truly too strong, completely on a level opposite Nie Yingtian's side.
"The powerful warriors of the Heavenly Bone Mammoth Tribe called this the Uncharted Realm, probably named after wiping out all the humans here. Now that we've appeared, they've started hunting us. Damn, just thinking about it makes me furious. Once we become stronger, maybe we can wipe out all the other alien races too?" Guo Ran mended his armor while mending it bitterly.
Guo Ran's armor could only be simply repaired to maintain some combat power. Otherwise, if he encountered another powerful being like this, he would have no choice but to flee.
"That's good. When the boss kills them until they're thrown into chaos, the hunters become prey, and then we'll see where they put their faces." Xia Chen said with a smile.
"Don't just laugh. You've collected so many formation plates, and you still haven't figured out how to use them? Use Chaos Spirit Stones to smash them to death. Guo Ran looked at the smiling Xia Chen and said irritably.
"I've already figured out some things, but many formation disks are single-use and gone once used.
Unless absolutely necessary, I can't use them lightly. Besides, I don't have time to draw talismans right now. The talismans I brought won't gain recognition from heaven and earth here, and their power will be greatly diminished. There's nothing I can do. Xia Chen shrugged helplessly.
"This is just too pathetic. Are we going to be chased by them like rabbits?" Guo Ran said somewhat displeased, clearly unable to stand this kind of humiliation.
"What's there to be so weak? If you're not as strong, you should know how to avoid their sharp edge. Alright, stop complaining. Next time we encounter enemies, we'll do a soul search and see how they're doing." Long Chen said.
Earlier, he had wasted some time testing the strength of the powerful figures here. Although he had killed these powerful beings, there was no time to search their souls. Many things needed to be clarified before deciding on a countermeasure.
Because they were intercepted, the three changed direction and headed toward another target. In one day, they visited three ruins, one of which was of considerable scale and well-preserved treasure troves, which instantly lifted the mood of the frustrated Xia Chen and Guo Ran.
Especially inside the treasury, they discovered a complete map of the Unmanned Realm. It turned out this place was once called the Realm of All Spirits, meaning 'symbiosis of all spirits.'
However, regarding the past clan annihilation battle, the texts here do not introduce it. There are three treasure vaults here, and two of them, due to lack of formation support, have all turned to ashes due to their passage of time.
There was only one treasury, preserved because the formation was always active, protecting the ancient texts from the erosion of the power of time.
Among these classics, Xia Chen and Guo Ran found manuals related to artifact forging, formations, and inscriptions, and were instantly overjoyed.
Because the methods of forging artifacts and inscriptions here are vastly different from what they have learned, including an introduction to forging immortal divine weapons.
Although it was just an introduction, it was already a treasure for the two of them, as if a new door had been opened.
Besides these ancient texts, there were also some cultivation techniques. Due to time constraints, the three didn't have time to flip through them and immediately put them away.
Besides those ancient texts, there were also many Chaos Spirit Stones and some immortal gold and divine iron. What surprised Guo Ran most was that he had discovered two battle blades in the treasury.
Although these two blades bear immortal divine patterns, they are not immortal divine weapons, since they are a half-finished pair. Perhaps because they are not yet completed, they were preserved.
Both of Guo Ran's battle knives were useless. Although these two were half-finished, they were already more than enough for Guo Ran.
Most importantly, this semi-finished item had tremendous research value. He could use it as a reference to personally research and forge an immortal divine weapon.
Aside from the Battle Heaven Divine Sect, the gains here were the most abundant. Xia Chen and Guo Ran's faces were filled with excited smiles, and the frustration of being hunted down was instantly swept away.
"How is the situation around?" Long Chen asked Xia Chen.
"They still run around like headless flies, unable to determine our direction. Moreover, the hundreds of formation disks I set up are all intact—not a single one has been discovered." Xia Chen said.
The formation disks Xia Chen set up along the way were like hundreds of eyes, helping him monitor the surroundings. Each formation disk was covered by an illusion array, and many foreign powerhouses walked back and forth along the edge of the array plates without being noticed.
Even Xia Chen had deliberately set up some low-level formations that were easily detected, without exception, they were invisible.
This meant that the experts here knew nothing about formations, which completely reassured Xia Chen.
"Boss, there's a group of Kunpeng clan experts nearby." Suddenly, Xia Chen's expression changed.
Xia Chen summoned a scene. There was nothing in the image, but streaks of golden light flew by. When Xia Chen stopped the image, he saw a blurry figure. Although the figure was blurry, it was still clear that it was the Kunpeng clan.
"Such incredible speed, the formation can't even catch a complete shadow. They're targeting the boss!" Guo Ran gasped.
Long Chen's speed was their strongest trump card right now, and with the appearance of the Kunpeng clan, Long Chen's advantage was likely to be wiped out.
"Whoosh!"
At that moment, the sound of air currents tearing through the void came from above. Golden lights roared through the air, disappearing almost instantly. The speed was so fast that even Long Chen was startled.
"Boom!"
Just as the dozen or so golden lights flew past, suddenly the void exploded, and the dozen or so beams instantly turned back.
"Damn humans, bring your lives!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a golden claw, radiating a sky of golden light, lunged at the three of them. The fierce aura pressed down on Xia Chen and Guo Ran, making it hard to breathe. This powerful figure was even stronger than the Heavenly Bone Mammoth.
