Little Tower

At the edge of the horizon, divine sounds rumbled like thunder and blazing rays of light flooded the land, as though a dozen Primordial Divine Birds—Golden Crows—had burst into the sky, illuminating the ruins.

Those treasures joined together and surged forward in a radiant wave, killing as they came. They were truly like a divine tide, rumbling loudly and impossible to resist.

Countless living beings fled in every direction, blotting out the sky and covering the earth.

Bai Yixin was wandering through the ruins, looking for Little One while keeping an eye out for other treasures he might be able to snatch.

Hearing the rumble in the distance, Bai Yixin gazed that way. His eyes suddenly widened. He saw a great many extraordinary treasures, all refined from the Treasure Bones and pelts of the mightiest Primordial Remnants, such as a Golden Crow's divine wings and a Black Tortoise's treasure shell. Every one was a priceless treasure.

"I want them so badly. Too bad I'd be done for if that divine tide set its sights on me." Bai Yixin trusted his life-saving gear and wasn't panicking. His expression remained quite relaxed.

"Ah..."

Not far away, a group of young geniuses let out heart-rending screams. A Golden Crow swept down its wings, and flames surged into the sky. Dozens of people turned into human torches in an instant, then became ashes. Nothing remained.

It was a horrific sight. The divine tide surged, and the treasures crashed against one another amid deafening thunder. Dozens of suns seemed to hang in the sky, dazzlingly bright. This place had become a slaughterhouse.

Seeing this, Bai Yixin didn't stubbornly linger. He urged the gray Flood Dragon Horn to shield him, and narrowly escaped a deadly calamity.

"I wonder how Little One's doing. But with how quick-witted he is, he's probably fine."

Half a month passed in a flash, and Bai Yixin ventured into the deepest part of the ruins.

Several divine tides had erupted during that time. He had gradually worked out their pattern: after each tide, there was bound to be a few days of calm.

Ahead, mountains stretched in rows. From time to time, treasure light shone from their slopes, accompanied by a murderous aura.

Many powerful treasures were hidden here. This was the source of the divine tide. They gathered here before rushing toward the ruins beyond the mountains, where they could wreak havoc on a massive scale.

"Looks like quite a few people have made it in. No need to rush after treasures. First, I'll find some lucky fellow and have a meal."

Bai Yixin spotted several powerful figures sneaking between the mountain peaks as they searched for treasures.

He knew that anyone who had made it this far was no weakling. They were all terrifyingly strong and possessed extraordinary skills.

But was Bai Yixin afraid?

No.

The stronger the prey, the more succulent its flesh and the greater the energy it contained. That made it all the more worth hunting.

"Oh? Is that a Feiyi? Then you'll do!"

A several-meter-long strange snake appeared in Bai Yixin's field of vision. It wasn't especially thick, but it was still an astonishing sight.

Its entire body was crimson, as if cast from divine metal. Below the head, its body split into two, with six legs and four wings. Its scales glinted, and its appearance was strange and vicious.

This was a Primordial Remnant—the Feiyi.

"I wonder how it tastes. Probably pretty good, right?" Bai Yixin sent a Sword Qi attack flying toward the Feiyi from a great distance.

"Rumble!"

The sound came from a mountain slope tilting and collapsing.

The summit of a mountain had been sliced away, leaving a smooth cross-section.

A streak of scarlet light shot toward him, terrifyingly powerful.

The Feiyi had struck. After noticing Bai Yixin's ambush, it spat out a flying sword wreathed in flames. The sword was only as long as a palm, but its aura was astonishing, and it gleamed a dripping, vivid red.

It had been ground from one of the Feiyi's fangs. Its entire body was crystalline, like red agate. It had been formed from the Feiyi's own strongest Rune Bone and painstakingly refined for more than a decade, until it gradually took on the shape of a flying sword.

Wrapped in flames, the Red Fang Flying Sword cleaved downward. The earth split with a rumble, opening a terrifying fissure that stretched more than a hundred zhang.

"Oh?" Bai Yixin was a little surprised. He hadn't expected the Feiyi to have a few tricks up its sleeve.

Lightning coiled around Bai Yixin's entire body as he turned into a golden streak and charged forward. He clashed head-on with the vivid red flying sword, unleashing endless Runes and bolts of lightning as he tried to subdue the treasure. Metallic clanging rang out.

The Feiyi's expression changed dramatically. Only when Bai Yixin drew close did it sense how terrifying he was. One strike had nearly wrested control of its treasure from it.

It had already started thinking of retreating. After a few more exchanges, it unleashed all its Treasure Techniques, flames surging skyward, but still couldn't do anything to its opponent. Bai Yixin had deliberately held back because he wanted to study the changes in the Runes as the Feiyi attacked. The Feiyi immediately tried to flee.

"Out of tricks? Then die!"

Bai Yixin accelerated in an instant. With a sharp metallic ring, his hand, shrouded in Runes, seized the vivid red flying sword.

"Whoosh!"

A streak of red light shot out. With a "pfft," it drew a line of blood through the air, and a Sword Qi attack cut the Feiyi in half. Blood poured out.

"Mmm, time to make some delicious snake soup." Bai Yixin went over to the Feiyi, picked it up, and slung it over his shoulder. He found a spot, set up a pot, lit a fire, and began preparing the Feiyi.

The Feiyi's body was fiery red and covered in densely packed scales. They were incredibly hard, and streaks of scarlet light shimmered across them. When struck, they rang out with a "clang, clang" sound, far harder than iron or stone.

Using his newly acquired Feiyi Sword, Bai Yixin cut the Feiyi open, then chopped it into pieces. With practiced ease, he put the glistening snake meat into the pot.

The Feiyi's flesh was crystalline white, wonderfully tender, and suffused with flowing rays of light. Even before it had been put into the water to cook, it already filled the air with a rich fragrance that made one's mouth water.

A group of passing creatures watched enviously from afar. They couldn't help sighing at how well this fellow knew how to enjoy himself. In such a tense and dangerous place, he acted as if nobody else were around and feasted to his heart's content. It was enough to make them jealous.

But envy was one thing. Picking a fight? They had to be sensible.

Anyone who dared to do this was either a fool or a powerful expert brimming with confidence.

Judging by the fellow in the pot, it was clear this fearsome man was the latter.

"Ah, that hit the spot!"

Bai Yixin finished the last sip of soup, rubbed his belly, and let out a burp.

"Whoa, there seems to be something over there~" Bai Yixin said, blinking as he gazed at the divine light erupting in the distance.

After Bai Yixin crossed a stretch of mountains, flames towered into the sky. Before him lay a sea of fire, with endless magma churning and bubbling. The mountains were red-hot, and the strange sight looked terrifying.

"Little One! What are you doing here?"

Bai Yixin spotted the ragged little figure in the distance and shouted.

"Brother Little White?! I'm looking for a treasure. It's a Bone Tower." Little One stared intently into the depths of the magma sea.

"A Bone Tower?" Bai Yixin thought for a moment. The Bone Tower could only be that boastful little Tower, couldn't it?

Little Tower had existed since the Immortal Ancient Era. It was a miraculous treasure, powerful enough to rank among the Immortal King giants.

Of course, that mainly referred to the Immortal King-level combat power Little Tower could wield after being restored to its complete form. Its strength was clearly not to be underestimated.

At the end, Little Tower fused with the nine-story Immortal Gold Treasure Tower crafted by Shi Hao and the bones of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor from the Era of Emperor Fall. It became a ten-story tower and gained the combat power of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor.
