After bidding farewell to the crowd, Xiao Fei found the spot where he had emerged earlier and re-entered the darkness of the Absolute Spirit Locking Heaven Array.
The surrounding area had already been explored by his domain of laws and meticulously mapped onto jade slips.
When he reached the end of a straight path according to the map, he once again unleashed his domain of laws, drawing a semicircle before him to record the detailed terrain into a jade slip.
Then he moved forward and repeated the process…
Three months later, Xiao Fei finally emerged from a stretch of darkness. The dazzling sunlight nearly blinded him.
Fortunately, his cultivation was profound, and he adapted after a slight adjustment.
The vast area sealed off by the Absolute Spirit Locking Heaven Array was a part of the Southern Wilderness Continent.
However, due to the long-standing rule of the Giant Clan, there was no longer any space for humans to survive here.
Only a very small number of survivors hid in caves, venturing out only at night and living in constant fear.
The spiritual energy within this area had transformed into domineering energy. Moreover, due to the constant draining by the Absolute Spirit Locking Heaven Array, the domineering energy was extremely sparse.
Xiao Fei’s cultivation at the Nascent Soul stage meant his activities here were already greatly restricted.
The consumed spiritual power could not be replenished by absorbing spiritual energy from heaven and earth; he could only rely on elixirs or spiritual wine.
Even with his Nascent Soul cultivation, this was the case. One could imagine the plight of the Integration stage powerhouses.
"Rumble…"
As soon as he entered this realm, he heard the rumbling sounds of battle from afar.
Xiao Fei quickly flew towards the source of the sound. Before he got close, he saw several giants in the distance fighting against several cultivators from the Celestial Origin Realm.
He had originally thought that the thirty powerhouses from the Celestial Origin Realm would easily defeat the remaining giants.
He hadn't expected it to drag on until now, with the battle still a stalemate.
He was not qualified to participate in battles of Integration stage powerhouses, so he could only hide in the distance and watch quietly.
After watching for a while, he had already discerned some patterns. When he was previously in the Southern Wilderness Continent, the Celestial Origin Realm cultivators had the upper hand.
But this time, he noticed some differences. The Celestial Origin Realm cultivators were clearly at a disadvantage, yet they were fighting to the death without retreat.
This was very uncharacteristic of the Celestial Origin Realm cultivators' usual combat style.
Their previous combat strategy had always been the principle of using strategy whenever possible, rather than direct confrontation, which was how they ultimately achieved victory against the giants despite being weaker.
Something was very wrong!
Furthermore, he also realized that there was only domineering energy here, and no spiritual energy.
The Celestial Origin Realm cultivators’ consumed spiritual power could not be replenished, while the Giant Clan could absorb some domineering energy, however little.
After watching for a while longer, he finally understood the main objective of the battle: a small wooden box.
At that moment, Patriarch Xing managed to obtain the wooden box during the fight. He was immediately subjected to the full force of the giants’ attacks.
Facing the clubs of several giants, Patriarch Xing could no longer withstand the onslaught. He could only abandon the wooden box and throw it into the distance.
A giant reached out and snatched the wooden box.
Then, the other Celestial Origin Realm powerhouses became energized, as if they had been injected with stimulants, and launched full-force attacks on that giant…
Xiao Fei remained hidden in the distance, not daring to approach. At this level of combat, he didn't even have the qualification to get close, let alone participate directly in the battle.
He was now very curious about what treasure was inside this wooden box that could attract the Celestial Origin Realm powerhouses to fight so fiercely even when they were at a disadvantage.
Judging by the situation, it was unclear when the battle would end.
If the battle didn't end, he wouldn't be able to inform the seniors about the situation in the Celestial Origin Realm, nor could he bring reinforcements.
Moreover, in the current situation, the Celestial Origin Realm cultivators were clearly outmatched.
If they continued to fight to the death like this, they might even lose a few more people. For the current Celestial Origin Realm, such losses were simply unbearable.
Did he have to rush out and mediate, urging the powerful figures on both sides to prioritize peace?
Who was he, Xiao Fei, to do such a thing?
Looking at the wooden box being fought over by both sides on the battlefield, Xiao Fei suddenly thought of a plan to fish in troubled waters and strike at the root of the problem.
All he had to do was to snatch the wooden box.
It was like a soccer match; if he took the ball away, both sides would naturally stop.
He had to take the wooden box, not let the Celestial Origin Realm cultivators be blinded by greed, and forget about the danger for the sake of small gains.
He needed to make them deeply realize their mistakes.
With this thought, he quietly shifted his position and retreated into the distance.
After leaving the battlefield and feeling that he was outside the range of the divine senses of the Integration stage powerhouses, he raised his hand, and a man over twenty feet tall immediately appeared beside him.
This was the body he used to cultivate the "Overlord Body Art."
After years of cultivation in this space, his strength had greatly increased, possessing at least the strength of a Void Refinement stage cultivator.
However, with his height and strength, he was still far from being a true giant; he could only be considered a giant cub.
The two Xiao Feis stood together, the smaller one appearing like an ant, utterly insignificant.
The smaller Xiao Fei remained motionless in his original spot, while the giant Xiao Fei strode forward and ran towards the battlefield.
On the battlefield, both sides were still fiercely competing, the wooden box changing hands countless times, with both sides enjoying the process.
When Xiao Fei appeared, both sides of the battle were somewhat surprised.
The Celestial Origin Realm side was naturally surprised by the arrival of more reinforcements for the giants, but they soon realized that the newly arrived giant was significantly smaller and not very strong.
The giants, on the other hand, were surprised, wondering whose cub had wandered here. The battlefield was no place for children to play.
Xiao Fei ran to the edge of the battlefield and, like a curious baby, sat on a mountain to watch the battle, observing with great concentration.
Initially, both sides paid some attention to Xiao Fei, but soon they were drawn back to the wooden box, and no one paid attention to him, this giant cub.
Xiao Fei watched the show quietly, without disturbing anyone.
Two days later, the battle was still ongoing. Suddenly, the wooden box flew out of a giant's hand, its trajectory passing directly in front of Xiao Fei.
Seizing the opportunity, Xiao Fei did not hesitate to reach out and intercept the wooden box mid-flight, snatching it into his possession.
"You little brat! You dare to snatch it too!"
Xiao Fei's actions simultaneously ignited the fury of both sides of the battle.
The Celestial Origin Realm cultivators launched attacks at him, and the Giant Clan powerhouses also extended their massive hands to seize the wooden box.
The wooden box flashed in Xiao Fei's hand and disappeared.
This immediately caused everyone to become even more reckless, directing their most ferocious attacks at Xiao Fei.
Earlier, when they had snatched the treasure, they had not put it into their storage spaces, not because they were foolish, but because they dared not.
Holding it in their hands, others would be hesitant to attack with full force, as they would be more focused on snatching it.
If they couldn't bear it, they could simply throw it away.
However, it was different once it was stored in a storage bag. One would have to kill the owner of the storage bag to retrieve the wooden box from it.
Even if he voluntarily handed it over, others would not believe it was the genuine article.
Therefore, all attacks were now directed at Xiao Fei himself, aiming to kill him on the spot.
However, just as the sky was filled with falling laws and spiritual treasures, Xiao Fei's over twenty-foot-tall body inexplicably vanished before their eyes.
