Two corpses!
Chapter 765: Two Corpses!
The cave where the Divine Beast Reverse-Halberd Blackscale lived was filled with all sorts of strange rocks. Xia Fei walked around the cave and did not pay much attention to a rock in the middle of the cave, but when he got closer and took a closer look, he realized that it was actually two people!
That was right!
It really was two people using their weapons to stab into each other's throats before taking each other down with them. Their eyes were bloodshot, and they looked like they were ready to fight with their lives on the line, standing proudly. Even when they died, they did so in a ferocious and arrogant state, confirming the old saying that true warriors could only die standing!
"How domineering! What two proud warriors! "Xia Fei sucked in a cold breath and quickly walked up to them to take a closer look.
Oro was also impressed by this unyielding image and sighed. "They should be two top-class warriors, one from the two supreme races. After a devastating battle, they finally took each other down with them!
"Look, their armor has the insignia of their respective clans. Due to the passage of time, the two of them have long since stiffened, but their bodies aren't destroyed. That's why you can see them still maintaining the heroic posture they had before they died!"
Xia Fei nodded repeatedly. Xia Fei always had a respectful heart toward brave warriors and did not have the slightest intention of disrespecting them. He circled around the two corpses and said, "I get it now. They absorbed too much Origin Energy essence when they were alive, so their bones and muscles are very different from normal sapient lifeforms. Look, their corpses are faintly glowing, and that must be the reason why they haven't withered after such a long time."
Oro said, "Looks like Szzesny's target should be these two corpses, and that monster should be guarding one of them. The one on the left has all five fingers severed, while the one on the right only lost his middle finger."
"The wound looks like it was just made by someone, so it should be Szesny's doing. He broke the warrior's middle finger while no one was paying attention and took the spatial ring!"
Xia Fei was somewhat vexed. Judging from the equipment and heroic posture of these two warriors, their statuses could not be too low, and who knew how many treasures Szesny had taken from their spatial rings?
Oro said as he observed, "The armors and weapons they're wearing are clearly high-grade as well, so why did Szzesny only take their rings and leave their weapons behind?"
Xia Fei shook his head. Its grade is pretty good. Even after all this time, it still looks brand new.
With that said, Xia Fei reached out to take the Half Moon Verdant Edge Saber of one of the warriors. The moment his fingertips touched it, that seemingly impressive long saber shattered with a loud crack!
"It's broken! It turns out that the battle between the two of them wasn't as simple as it seemed. I still don't know what kind of fight they went through, but even their extremely high-grade armor and weapons couldn't withstand the powerful law force, leaving only the exterior intact while the insides were already damaged beyond recognition! "Xia Fei exclaimed." What kind of law was it? Both of them perished together, and the Divine Weapon lost its splendor! "
Oro was silent for a while, as if recalling some questions.
Several seconds later, Oro said, "I think it might be the law of time."
"Law of Time?!" Xia Fei was stunned. The Law of Time was known as the strongest law of the God Race! It was the most mysterious Law of Loss! If these two warriors had perished together by forcefully using the Law of Time, it would be a reasonable explanation. There was no doubt that their ranks were extremely high, and Xia Fei did not believe that just a clash of weapons could have resulted in such a serious outcome.
The old demon lord solemnly said, "Both of them look very young. From their appearance alone, they look to be in their twenties. The warriors of the Law Realm have very long lifespans, so it's not too strange for someone several hundred years old to have a youthful appearance. However, if you consider their armor and divine weapons, it all makes sense."
"They became young because of the Law of Time's reversal. Youth doesn't just mean hope, it also means that their cultivation has yet to reach its peak! That's why their throats were pierced through by their opponent's weapon. If not for the reversal of time, an attack of this level shouldn't have been able to do any damage to them!
"Now, look at their weapons. The reason why their Divine Weapons became so weak was because of the reversal of time, which forced the two supreme Divine Weapons back to their original state, the state before they were refined!"
Xia Fei was enlightened and hurriedly said, "I get it now! So-called Divine Weapons need to be meticulously forged by master blacksmiths. Before they were forged, they would at most be sturdy, high-quality weapons. Since they aren't Divine Weapons, they naturally can't withstand tens of thousands of years of weathering, which is why the moment I made my move, that blade shattered. It's not even as sturdy as a warrior's body!"
The old demon lord looked at Xia Fei with satisfaction. "That's exactly what happened. The two of them used the Law of Time when they were fighting to the death, causing their bodies and weapons to rapidly degrade and ultimately perish together."
Xia Fei continued. "That's why Szesny didn't take their armor and weapons. He knew very well that after the destruction of the Law of Time, all that was left of those Divine Weapons was their outer appearance. They were just embroidered pillows that looked good but were useless. Spatial rings are different, though. The items inside are stored in different spaces, so no matter what's inside, they'll all be in perfect condition!"
Xia Fei and Oro finally finished deducing the cause of death of the two mysterious experts, and they both let out a sigh of relief.
"What a powerful Law of Time. It actually sent a top-notch warrior back to his youth, destroying a Divine Weapon in a single move! If I were to use reverse reasoning, wouldn't this Law of Time also be able to turn a child into a frail old man in the blink of an eye, robbing him of his youth and vitality? "Xia Fei had a deeper understanding of the mysteries of the Law of Time, and he was very surprised.
Oro nodded and sternly said, "That's right. Experts who cultivate the Law of Time possess heaven-defying combat strength. It's not an exaggeration to say that though both races have three major laws each, only the Law of Time and the Law of Life can truly be considered peerless! In front of them, whatever Law of Darkness or Law of Space, all of them have to bow down.
"It's a good thing that both races lost their heaven-defying laws at the same time. If only one side had lost the power of the strongest Law, the Law Realm would have long since been unified."
After a pause, the old demon lord continued. "Of course, the method you used to destroy other law powers is also quite impressive. I wonder which law system you derived it from for it to be so powerful."
He stole a glance at Xia Fei. This was not the first time Oro had asked about the Law of Primal Chaos. Anyone would be curious about a strange energy that had no other abilities but was dedicated to destroying the laws of others.
Of course, Xia Fei would not say anything. In truth, he did not know what system the Law of Primal Chaos was derived from. Just like how the Law of Speed was derived from the Law of Space, and the Law of Protection was derived from the Law of Matter, they all had their own origins. As for where the Law of Chaos was derived from, perhaps only the Black and White Gods would know, so Xia Fei could only pretend not to understand Oro's words.
Xia Fei deduced that the ring Szesny had taken might very well contain the number one law of the God Race, the Law of Time. Xia Fei was not willing to let a law that symbolized the supreme power of the God Race slip away from his hands, so he carefully studied the two corpses, hoping to find traces of Szesny.
Szzesny was very powerful and the bane of the Skywing Race, but for the sake of the mysterious Law of Time, Xia Fei did not mind fighting him!
…
* Rumble! * Rumble! *
Divine Beast Reverse-Halberd Blackscale's urgent voice was getting closer and closer, as if it was rapidly returning from the depths of the earth's core.
Xia Fei frowned and hurriedly hid in one of the two sides of the cavern.
The Divine Beast was very powerful, and it would be very difficult for it to injure Xia Fei, who had the agility and superhuman speed. Likewise, Xia Fei would not be able to take it down, either, so it was best for him to avoid a direct confrontation with it.
* Rumble! *
The Divine Beast charged into the cavern, circling around its master's corpse. Xia Fei had accidentally destroyed its master's weapon, which made the monster even angrier, nearly spitting fire from its body.
Xia Fei was very curious, for he had never seen the monster's head from the very beginning. All he had seen was its train-like body.
"Sure enough, he fell for Szesny's trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain. Unable to find him, he's now back," the old demon lord said. "Hmm? Isn't his body a little shorter than before? "
Xia Fei replied, "Seems to be the case. He probably sent a few clones out to look for enemies again, so he's only half his usual length."
* Whoosh! *
To everyone's surprise, the Divine Beast Reverse-Halberd Blackscale's body suddenly exploded with a blinding light. The light was so bright that it nearly blinded Xia Fei's eyes! After all, the night vision system could magnify the light, making it look especially dazzling.
Xia Fei hurriedly pressed the button to turn off the night vision system, rubbing his eyes with both hands.
"Ocular technique!"
Xia Fei muttered in his mind, activating a small portion of the Beast Spirit Codex's ocular technique. This way, even without the night vision system, he could still see in the dark.
The ocular technique strengthened Xia Fei's eyesight, and it inadvertently brought him a new discovery!
He saw a tiny dot of light flickering on the floor of the cavern in the distance. The deeper he went into the cavern, the darker the darkness became, so even though it was a tiny dot of light, Xia Fei's sharp eyes were able to detect it.
* Whoosh! *
Xia Fei arrived in a flash, crouched down, and lightly wiped it with his index finger.
"These … These are the bones of two experts!" Xia Fei exclaimed in shock.
The two dead experts had consumed too much Origin Energy, so their muscles and bones had become crystal clear, as if they had been carved from an Origin Crystal. This tiny fragment was glowing, and Xia Fei could feel the energy flowing within it. It had to be a part of the finger that Szesny had twisted off!
"So he escaped in this direction. No wonder that beast couldn't find him even after chasing him for so long. The direction is completely wrong," Oro muttered to himself.
Xia Fei's brain was working furiously, and he had an idea in the blink of an eye!
"Szesny has half a finger of an expert on him, so he must have left traces of Origin Energy along the way." Xia Fei was slightly startled.
"In theory, that's correct," Oro said.
"Do you know who's an expert in Origin Energy?" Xia Fei smiled, the corner of his lips curling into a cheerful smile. "Furball! That Furball likes energy the most, and he has an outstanding ability to distinguish energy! "
Oro instantly understood what Xia Fei meant and gave him a thumbs up. Xia Fei's quick-wittedness was truly not an exaggeration; he was always able to come up with fantastic ideas at any time!
* Whoosh! *
Xia Fei pinned Furball to the ground, and he pointed at that tiny bit of energy fragment and said in a serious tone, "Furball, listen up! From now on, you're a dog! A tracking dog! "
* Squelch! *
