Having packed his gear, Xia Feng was ready to set off.
He and the ten women bid farewell to the soldiers of Spirit City, gradually rising into the air amidst their reluctant gazes.
God Burial Valley is located at the border of the Great Xia Empire and the Rizhao Empire.
It is rumored to have been a forbidden area where ancient gods battled. Countless remains of ancient gods are buried here, and any exotic beasts or cultivators that wander into this place by accident are often eroded by the remnants of these ancient gods, eventually turning into monstrous creatures.
These monsters are collectively known as Resentful Beasts.
As the name suggests, they are mindless creatures bearing the immense resentment of these ancient gods, only knowing destruction.
In this God Burial Valley, remnants of the ancient gods' resentment are everywhere. Any cultivator who arrives here will find their spiritual power stagnant, their past strength retained based on their willpower.
The good ones can retain about half of their strength, while those with weak willpower may be reduced to just two or three-tenths of their peak period.
However, this God Burial Valley is also a treasure trove, with ancient gods' weapons, cultivation techniques, and spirit elixirs buried here.
Though dangerous, many cultivators have ventured here over the years in search of power or treasures.
But most of them ended up becoming part of the Resentful Beasts, with very few managing to succeed and retreat.
Xia Feng and the ten women flew for a full fifteen days before finally reaching this border area between the Southern Border and the Rizhao Empire.
This place is largely a no man's land, with no administrative deployment by the two empires, gradually turning it into a desolate place.
The eleven of them landed here, and in front of Xia Feng lay an expanse veiled by a layer of white mist, covering a vast area.
Although he hadn't set foot inside, Xia Feng couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Within this mist, there was an overwhelming, maddening resentment filled with ancient runes flickering intermittently within.
"Husband, in your previous life, it was from the outer core of this God Burial Valley that you obtained the Supreme Technique," said the Celestial Fox Saintess, Yu Siya.
"The Resentful Beasts in the outer core are Tier Nine Sacred Beasts, and with the aid of this fog, the most outstanding among them won't be weaker than a Martial Sovereign."
"A Martial Sovereign, hmm…"
Xia Feng nodded slowly.
The outer core of God Burial Valley, that's good.
Ordinary Martial Sovereign Resentful Beasts, the eleven of them could handle quite easily.
If they were in the inner area, everything would be uncontrollable, and even the ten women would be at risk of falling.
"Let's go, there's no time to waste. The quicker the job is done, the better. This place is too dangerous."
Sun Yazhu furrowed her adorable brows, then pulled Xia Feng toward the interior of the God Burial Valley.
To be honest, she really didn't like this eerie place.
Inside the God Burial Valley, the roaring and wailing of the Resentful Beasts echoed everywhere, leaving one's mind restless and disturbed.
And so, Xia Feng and the ten women ventured directly into the thick fog.
As soon as he entered the mist, an illusion suddenly appeared before Xia Feng's eyes.
"Damn Gonggong, you slaughtered my tribe; today, I shall grind your bones to dust!"
In front of him, a hundred-meter-tall giant ran across the flat land, with a body as imposing as Mount Tai, charging forward fiercely.
The mountains that stood in its way crumbled like dirt, layer after layer collapsing, inciting a humming in the earth and darkening the sky.
Before him stood another giant of equal height, with strange water streams surrounding its body.
Looking coldly at the opponent, it sneered, "Zhurong, had you not troubled my people first, I wouldn't be here!"
"Blame yourself for being blind!"
With that, it too lunged forward, engaging in a fierce battle with the giant before it.
The blows between them erupted with the mighty power of heaven and earth, a realm beyond the containment of spiritual power.
It was as if the two were incarnations of the earth and sky, employing the powers of heaven and earth in a furious clash against one another.
Xia Feng watched in a daze.
The two ancient gods, with each punch and kick seemingly simple, yet the laws of heaven and earth lingered, their every attack vibrating the world.
Staggering backward, one of them, in a fit of rage, heavily steadied its stance, then violently lifted its opponent high into the air.
...
Unfortunately, Xia Feng hadn't seen the next scene; his view was blocked by a delicate, snow-white hand.
The snow-white little hand waved incessantly, accompanied by a familiar voice by his ear.
"Hey, hey, hey, husband, what happened to you? Don't tell me you've been driven insane by the resentment here?"
"It makes no sense, we just came in, and even Yellow Tier Martial Saints can withstand the mist outside..."
Sun Yazhu kept waving her little hand in front of Xia Feng, then pushed his shoulder.
Xia Feng's blurred vision cleared up, and he reached out to grasp Sun Yazhu's snow-white wrist, shaking his head, "I'm fine."
"You scared me to death!"
Sun Yazhu was startled, first heaving a sigh of relief, then slapping Xia Feng on the shoulder in displeasure.
"Did you do that on purpose? We just got in, and you immediately froze up. This outer mist shouldn't affect a Martial Sovereign; were you trying to scare us for fun?"
It was the first time Xia Feng had seen Sun Yazhu lose her temper, and glancing at the other nine women, their expressions didn't look pleased either.
It was clear they were genuinely frightened.
"No… no, am I that much of a sadist?" Xia Feng laughed awkwardly, scratching his head.
"I just saw some images, those two…"
Xia Feng was about to explain, but before he could finish speaking, Li Qingxue and Li Shiqing each grabbed one of his hands and pulled him further in.
"Let's hurry and retrieve the Supreme Technique; it's too dangerous here in the God Burial Valley, our strength reduced to less than half. Once we finish our business, let's quickly retreat," said Li Qingxue, frowning.
With his words interrupted, Xia Feng sighed helplessly and followed along, not arguing with his women.
But…
Xia Feng frowned slightly, were those the two ancient gods from antiquity?
Recalling their forms and attacks, Xia Feng couldn't help but click his tongue.
An existence so powerful, it's as if they've become incarnations of the power of heaven and earth.
The shockwave from each punch and kick would likely overwhelm even a Celestial Tier Ninth Layer Martial Sovereign, wouldn't it?
Is this the might of an ancient god…
Xia Feng walked on in contemplation, and soon, he suddenly realized something.
That is, while the realms of the ten women seemed suppressed, he could still unleash his full power?
The restrictions within the mist didn't seem to affect him.
The spiritual power within Xia Feng continued to flow smoothly, without a hint of stagnation.
What was going on?
Could it have something to do with the previous visions?
Before Xia Feng could make sense of it, a rhino Resentful Beast with three heads suddenly locked onto them.
The rhino, with its body full of black oozing pustules, had an extremely asymmetric face, eyes looking skyward and earthward, appearing extremely terrifying and grotesque.
"Roar!!"
Upon seeing Xia Feng and the others, the rhino's eyes immediately flared with red light, charging toward them rapidly!
