At the edge of the horizon, divine sounds roared like thunder, and brilliant rays of light flooded the heavens and earth, as if a dozen Primordial Remnant Golden Crows had emerged into the world, illuminating the ruins.

Those Treasure Techniques converged, unleashing rays of light that struck down like a divine tide; the sound was thunderous, an unstoppable force.

Countless living beings fled in all directions, covering the land like a swarm.

Bai Yixin was wandering through the ruins, looking for Little One while simultaneously checking if he could snatch up any other treasures.

Hearing the rumbling from afar, Bai Yixin looked toward the distance and his eyes widened. He saw many exotic treasures, all refined from the strongest Primordial Remnant Treasure Bones and hides, such as the divine wings of a Golden Crow or the protective shell of a Black Tortoise—all of them supreme treasures.

"I really want those, but it would be curtains if I got targeted by this divine tide." Bai Yixin considered himself well-equipped for survival and remained calm, his expression quite relaxed.

"Ah..."

Not far away, a group of geniuses shrieked in agony. A Golden Crow wing swept down, unleashing a torrent of flames; dozens of people were instantly turned into torches, then reduced to ashes, leaving nothing behind.

It was a tragic scene, a surging divine tide. The impact of the treasures and the deafening thunder made it feel as if dozens of suns were hanging in the sky, dazzling and brilliant; this place had become a slaughterhouse.

Seeing this, Bai Yixin did not stubbornly remain, instead channeling the grey Flood Dragon Horn to protect his body, narrowly avoiding a lethal catastrophe.

"I wonder how Little One is doing, but with his cleverness, he should be fine."

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and Bai Yixin walked into the deepest part of the ruins.

During this process, several divine tides occurred, and he had gradually figured out the pattern: after a divine tide, there was bound to be a quiet period lasting several days.

Ahead, mountains stood in clusters, and from time to time, treasure light would flicker on some of the peaks, accompanied by chilling killing intent.

Many powerful treasures were hidden here; this was the source of the divine tides. They gathered here before surging out into the ruins beyond the mountains, causing great massacres.

"It seems quite a few people have made it in. No rush to find treasures; let's find a lucky soul to have a meal with first."

Bai Yixin saw some experts lurking and moving between the peaks, searching for treasures.

He knew that anyone who could reach this place was no weakling; all possessed terrifying strength and extraordinary abilities.

But would Bai Yixin be afraid?

No.

The stronger the strength, the more delicious the meat, and the more energy it contained, making it all the more worthy of being hunted as prey.

"Oh? Is that a Feiyi? Then you're the one!"

A strange snake several meters long appeared in Bai Yixin's field of vision. It was not very thick, but it was quite startling.

Its entire body was a deep crimson, as if cast from divine gold, and it began to fork below the head. It possessed two bodies, six legs, and four wings, covered in dense, strange, and ferocious scales.

This was the Primordial Remnant—the Feiyi.

"I wonder how it tastes? Should be pretty good, right?" Bai Yixin unleashed a long-range sword aura toward the Feiyi.

"Boom!"

That was the sound of a mountain slope collapsing.

The peak of a mountain was sliced off, leaving behind a smooth cross-section.

A streak of red light rushed toward him, terrifyingly powerful.

It was the Feiyi striking back. After discovering Bai Yixin's sneak attack, it spat out a flying sword wreathed in flames. It was only a palm long, but its aura was shocking, red as if dripping with blood.

It had been polished from one of its own fangs, crystalline like red agate, and was formed from the Feiyi's own strongest Rune Bone. It had spent over a decade refining it before it finally took the shape of a flying sword.

The Red Fang Flying Sword was wrapped in firelight and slashed down. The earth split with a roar, creating a terrifying fissure that cracked open for over a hundred yards.

"Oh?" Bai Yixin was slightly surprised; he hadn't expected this Feiyi to have some tricks up its sleeve.

Bai Yixin's entire body crackled with electricity as he transformed into a golden streak, charging forward to clash head-on with the blood-red flying sword. An explosion of endless Runes and lightning erupted as he attempted to subdue the treasure, the sound of metal clashing ringing out.

The Feiyi's expression changed drastically. Only when Bai Yixin drew near did it feel the terror of this man; a single strike had nearly caused its treasure to slip from its control.

It began to consider retreating. After a few more exchanges, it unleashed all its Treasure Techniques, firelight surging to the heavens, yet it could do nothing to its opponent. This was only because Bai Yixin was holding back to observe the changes in the Runes during the Feiyi's attacks, but the creature immediately wanted to flee.

"Out of tricks? Then die!"

Bai Yixin accelerated in an instant. With a crisp "clang," a hand shrouded in Runes directly grabbed the crystalline, blood-red flying sword.

"Shhh!"

A red light flashed, and with a "puff," a streak of blood was drawn. The Feiyi was severed by a sword aura, blood flowing freely.

"Mm, delicious snake soup is on the menu." Bai Yixin walked up 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 to process the Feiyi.

The Feiyi was fiery red, covered in dense, incredibly hard scales with flickering red rays. When struck, it rang out with a "clang," harder than iron or stone.

Bai Yixin used the newly acquired Feiyi Sword to skin the creature, then chopped it into segments before nimbly dropping the crystalline snake meat into the pot.

The Feiyi meat was translucent and white, quite tender and flowing with light. Even before it was boiled, it emitted a fragrant aroma that made one's mouth water.

A group of passing creatures in the distance felt nothing but envy, sighing at how this person really knew how to enjoy life. To be so unbothered and feasting in such a tense and dangerous place made them truly jealous.

But jealousy was one thing; actually making a move? One had to be rational.

Those who dared to do this were either fools or experts with absolute confidence.

Looking at the fate of the one in the pot, it was clear this fierce man was the latter.

"So satisfying!"

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

"Whoa, there seems to be something over there~" Looking at the divine light erupting in the distance, Bai Yixin blinked and said.

After Bai Yixin crossed a stretch of mountain ranges, flames towered into the sky; before his eyes lay a sea of fire, with endless magma churning and bubbling, and the mountain peaks glowing red, creating a bizarre and terrifying scene.

"Little One! What are you doing here?"

Seeing the ragged little figure in the distance, Bai Yixin shouted.

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

"A Bone Tower?" Bai Yixin pondered; it seemed the Bone Tower could only be that arrogant Little Tower.

Little Tower was a miraculous magical treasure that had existed since the Immortal Ancient Era, and could be considered a treasure of the Immortal King giant level.

Of course, this mainly referred to the fact that once Little Tower was complete, it could possess combat power at the Immortal King level; clearly, its strength was not to be underestimated.

At the end of the story, Little Tower merged with the nine-story Immortal Gold Treasure Tower refined by Shi Hao and the bones of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor from the Era of Emperor Fall, transforming into a ten-story tower body that possessed Quasi-Immortal Emperor level combat power.

If you can't find it by searching the book title, try searching for the author; perhaps it just changed its name!
