Chapter 1363: Wanton Plundering
Zhao Feng had learned his spatial concealment technique from Ancient God Luo Ling of the Spacetime Sacred Land. He could conceal himself in space while rapidly moving without being detected.
As for Xin Wuheng, he had reached such a high level of power that he could fuse his aura with the surrounding space. He also had the greatest understanding of the treasury, so he obviously needed to be one of the infiltrators.
After passing through the main hall, Xin Wuheng slightly paused.
"The layout of this place has greatly changed. The places where the resources or treasures should have been stored are all empty," Xin Wuheng communicated to Zhao Feng.
After all, the pack of silver tiger Yao Gods had occupied the Giant God Race treasury for far too long. It was impossible for them to have let the treasures remain for so long. They had probably removed and distributed the treasures among themselves.
"The Giant God Race should have sealed those resources and treasures." Zhao Feng's left eye spotted the signs of arrays and conjectured.
"But since far too much time has passed, those sealing arrays gradually lost power. This allowed those Yao Gods to break them and take the treasures inside. However, there might still be some places where the sealing arrays have not been broken yet," Zhao Feng analyzed.
"You're right!" Xin Wuheng was slightly taken aback.
This was still the outer edge of the treasury. The more important resources were stored farther inside.
It was the Giant God Race God Lord experts who had laid down the defensive arrays of this place. If it wasn't for the vast amount of time that had passed, the Yao Gods would have never been able to take any of this place's treasures and resources.
"There are two guards over there." Zhao Feng used his see-through ability to examine the situation and relay it to Xin Wuheng.
For there to be two guards despite the war going on indicated that they were definitely guarding some kind of secret.
"That place is one of the places where important treasures are stored!" Xin Wuheng's eyes flashed.
The pair began to approach the guarded secret hall.
"How do you think the battle outside is going?" a tiger with somewhat darker silver skin asked.
"Is there any need to talk about that? It's definitely us who have the advantage. Ever since we occupied this treasury and began to break the defensive arrays and obtain the treasures within, our strength has been rapidly growing!" The other guard chuckled.
"You're right! I wonder who built this treasury. So many treasures are sealed inside. We should be thanking them, haha!" The dark silver tiger heartily laughed.
"Since you want to thank us, thank us with your lives!" Xin Wuheng growled as he emerged and thrust out a finger.
A bolt of extremely condensed finger energy shot forward like a sharp sword.
"Oh no!" The silver tiger Yao God immediately grimaced.
It was just a Rank Eight. The moment Xin Wuheng appeared, it sensed that it was in mortal danger.
Xin Wuheng had been building up the power in this attack for some time, condensing his Divine Power and bloodline power to the extreme. It moved with incredible speed and struck the Yao God.
Kaploosh!
A hole appeared in the silver tiger Yao God's head, going from back to front, blood gushing out from both ends.
Even if the Yao Gods of this place were stronger than those of the outside world, an ordinary Rank Eight Yao God still could not take even a single blow from Xin Wuheng!
"You dare intrude-!?" The other silver tiger was both shocked and afraid, and it prepared to communicate with the other Yao Gods.
"Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame!"
At this moment, a twisted bolt of lightning-flame exploded on its soul. This Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame was one of the strongest ones Zhao Feng had unleashed while his Origin energy was sealed.
The silver tiger's soul, struck by powerful Tribulation Lightning, was unable to send any sort of message. After not even a second of brief struggle, its soul was destroyed.
The two glanced at each other. This was the first time since they met each other that they had ever worked together.
Although Xin Wuheng was an expert of the Giant God Race with an extremely thick bloodline and a cultivation far above Zhao Feng's, he had never once looked down on him. The soul attack Zhao Feng used just now was already enough to pose a great threat to Xin Wuheng. And Xin Wuheng sensed that Zhao Feng had not used the full power of his left eye.
Zhao Feng was also amazed by Xin Wuheng's attack just now. Based on what he had seen, if the Giant God Race used too much of their bloodline energy, they would have to reveal their bodies. However, Xin Wuheng was able to fuse the majority of his bloodline energy into his attack and unleash it without revealing his true body. This level of control over bloodline energy was something that no other member of the Giant God Race could match.
"We didn't alarm the other guards," Zhao Feng scanned the surroundings with the God's Spiritual Eye and said.
Xin Wuheng then used a secret art to open a small crack in the door of the hall through which they could enter.
Inside the hall was what appeared to be a finely decorated room in which potted plants and ancient books had been laid out. In truth, however, each of these objects was a famous resource or treasure.
For example, the books on the table were all high-quality divine rank techniques, and the flower vase next to the books was the high-quality divine-level divine artifact, Myriad Spirit Celestial Vase. It was rumored that this storage divine artifact contained countless small dimensions of various environments, and it had dimensions that could store cold-type resources and dimensions capable of holding fire-type resources.
"Great! The majority of the treasures and resources in this room have been perfectly preserved!" Xin Wuheng was pleasantly surprised.
He immediately went up to the table and began to use a secret art to undo the array.
The arrays here were developed by the Giant God Race and had been fused with the secret arts of the Heaven's Legacy Race. Only the upper echelon members of the Giant God Race knew how to undo them.
"The Myriad Spirit Celestial Vase...!" It only took a little while for Xin Wuheng to undo the seal on the Myriad Spirit Celestial Vase and take it into his bag.
"Too slow...." Zhao Feng was rather worried.
After all, the arrays of this place had been laid down by a God Lord. Even if Xin Wuheng understood how to undo them, undoing them took time. There were fifty to sixty objects of various size in this room alone. If Xin Wuheng undid them one by one, it would take forever.
Whoosh!
Zhao Feng walked up to an antique stand. His left eye began to spin, shrouding the antique stand in energy.
"What are you doing? This place's arrays use a unique secret of the Giant God Race mixed with a secret art of the Heaven's Legacy Race!" Xin Wuheng immediately messaged.
If the arrays of this place were so easy to undo, the silver tigers would have already plundered this place of all its treasures.
God Eye Disintegration!
Zhao Feng's left eye flashed with dreamy light, which passed through the antique stand tens of thousands of times.
In order to reduce consumption, Zhao Feng targeted the sealing array.
Whoosh!
The seal where his gaze was focused began to slowly weaken. With the structure of the array damaged, it began to slowly disappear.
"What eye-bloodline technique is that!?" Xin Wuheng paled in alarm.
How could such a miraculous eye-bloodline technique exist in this world, able to constantly weaken the power of an array?
But Xin Wuheng didn't have time to worry about such things at the moment, and he went back to undoing arrays and collecting resources. Once he finished gathering all the resources excluding the antique stand, Zhao Feng finally finished disintegrating all of the seals covering this stand.
"Many thanks!" Xin Wuheng smiled.
The items on this stand were more valuable, and the majority of them were divine artifacts or tools. For this reason, the arrays protecting them were of a higher level. This was why he had not started with this antique stand.
Once he finished gathering the rest of the items, Zhao Feng had already finished undoing the arrays around the antique stand. This saved Xin Wuheng quite some time.
After plundering this room, the two of them left to continue their search.
"Wind God Finger!"
"Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame!"
Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng joined together to kill a Rank Eight Yao God.
The two Yao God groups were in the middle of a war, so they had deployed their stronger members in battle while the ordinary Rank Eight Yao Gods were left to guard and patrol their base.
"Let's take a look around the center of the treasury," Xin Wuheng said after they finished plundering a small secret chamber.
The center of the treasury was where the Giant God Race kept its most valuable treasures.
"Only two guards!"
Just like before, Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng crept up on different guards and launched lethal attacks.
Thump!
The two guards were instantly annihilated by the lethal attacks of Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng.
"Okay!" An elated Xin Wuheng activated a secret art to open the central treasury.
But as the treasury opened and the pair scanned the area with their Divine Senses, they paled. In the deepest parts of this treasury, a massive silver tiger was resting, its cultivation peak Rank Eight. It was extremely similar to the leader of this group of Yao Gods.
"You are... humans - intruders?" The silver tiger suddenly got up and stared at Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng.
...
Outside, the two Yao God groups had battled all day.
"You actually sent people to infiltrate my treasury!?" The massive silver tiger suddenly grimaced, its cold and vicious eyes staring at the massive silver-green python before it.
"Hmph, I've done nothing of the sort. It must be because you've offended too many Yao Gods, and they've used this chance to infiltrate your treasury." The python laughed.
"Bullshit! It's been hundreds of millions of years since I've last seen a human!" The silver tiger cursed, and then prepared to return to its treasury.
"Humans?" The massive python was taken aback, but when it saw the giant silver tiger intending to retreat, it immediately charged after it.
"Where are you going!?" Exploding with powerful Time Intent, the silver-green python opened its mouth and spat out a dark green fog.
"Our two factions have been at peace for so many years! Do you really want to take things to this level!?" the silver tiger furiously bellowed.
"Hmph! You killed my Yao Gods first, and you even challenged us!" The green-and-silver python coldly sneered.
"Nonsense! It was clearly your Yao Gods that attacked first!"
The two peak Rank Nine Yao Gods immediately began to argue. Gradually, they began to put together the sequence of events.
"Could it be those humans?"
"Hmph! I'd like to see what sort of people are so brazen as to incite discord between us and plunder your treasury!"
The peak Rank Nine Yao Gods immediately stopped fighting.
...
"Look at that! That black mountain is covered in treasure!" a peak Rank Eight Ancient God of Ancient Soul Hall called out.
The half-step God Lord of the Ancient Soul Race leading this group glanced over and was somewhat tempted, but at this moment, the crystal sphere in his hand flashed with azure light.
"Eh? There's activity! The Ancient God Seal is nearby!" Ancient God Jailsea called out in surprise.
Yu Heng had given them this tool. If the Ancient God Seal was in a certain radius, it would immediately react.
For a moment, the team of three was frozen to the spot.
"Why don't we take a look at that black mountain first?" the peak Rank Eight Ancient God softly proposed.
Although finding the Ancient God Seal was their first mission, it wasn't like they were being watched. Ancient Soul Hall and God Lord Stellar Aspect's disciple wouldn't know what they were doing.
"No! First find the Ancient God Seal. The God Lords of Ancient Soul Hall and God Lord Stellar Aspect regard the Ancient God Seal with such importance that, if we manage to bring it back, we will be the greatest contributors in this operation and will be richly rewarded!" Ancient God Jailsea finally decided after some thought.
