Hoo!
Kabul flew swiftly through the void, and the closer he got to that area, the more Qin Chen could feel the faint spatial power becoming increasingly apparent, even causing his body to subtly tremble with an inexplicable fluctuation.
"Hmm?"
Qin Chen was slightly surprised. He knew that in the current cosmic sea, ordinary treasures could no longer provoke any response from his body, yet this elusive spatial power ahead was actually able to elicit such a reaction.
"Is it because of the heart of space within me?"
Qin Chen sensed his own body, feeling a sudden realization. Back in the day, he had acquired the heart of space from the Emperor of Void Annihilation, which was the essence of the great emperor's origin refined throughout his life, reaching the pinnacle of a peak great emperor.
The reason the Emperor of Void Annihilation was able to condense such a powerful heart of space was largely due to the inheritance he received from the voidless divine tree in the Wasteland of All Gods.
Thus, he was able to progress so far along the path of space.
It could be said that this heart of space was actually a crystallization of a certain Path Rhythm from the voidless divine tree.
Now that this heart of space had been integrated into Qin Chen's Chaotic World, coming close to this place naturally resulted in some inexplicable fluctuations, resonating with this piece of heaven and earth.
"Does that mean the voidless divine tree is still here?"
Qin Chen's heart stirred, prompting Kabul to accelerate forward.
"Qin Chen, what’s ahead? I feel like there's something special there," Mo Li couldn't help but ask, furrowing his brows.
"Hmm? You can sense it too?" Qin Chen looked over in confusion.
"I have a vague feeling, but it's not clear. Is there some sort of treasure there?" Mo Li wondered.
Qin Chen's brows furrowed slightly. If even Mo Li could sense these treasures, then the voidless divine tree couldn't possibly be left behind.
Just as Qin Chen was pondering this, a loud rumble erupted ahead, releasing an intense fluctuation of aura.
Is someone fighting?
Qin Chen immediately scanned the area with his spiritual sense while Mo Li focused his gaze ahead. Sure enough, there were people engaged in a fierce battle, with four powerful figures quickly clashing.
Each of these four figures exuded a terrifying aura, even surpassing that of the King of the Northern Heavens and the Saint of the Western Yu. It appeared to be a standoff between two pairs, each restraining the other, yet not in complete intimacy, as if they were merely cooperating.
Upon seeing Qin Chen and his companions, the four figures quickly dispersed, their expressions wary as they regarded Qin Chen and the others. One of them, upon spotting Kabul and the individuals on his back, briefly showed a hint of surprise, while the other three cast cold glances in their direction.
Among them, Qin Chen sensed a somewhat familiar aura.
"Heaven Clan!"
Qin Chen murmured. The aura from this person resembled that of the white-clad woman from the Heaven Clan he encountered earlier, emanating a mysterious force of fate.
After noticing Qin Chen and his companions' arrival, one of the figures clasped his hands and solemnly said to the others, "Brother Meng, Brother Xie Sha, Brother Ju Pan, how about we end this matter here today? That ancient stone of space was discovered by all four of us. Although it contains remarkable spatial power, none of us became enlightened through the path of space. Even if we acquire this ancient stone of space, it's merely for trading purposes."
"Since that's the case, why not take the ancient stone of space out and exchange it for enough merit or treasures, and then we can evenly split it among us four? Otherwise..."
As he finished speaking, he glanced at Qin Chen and his companions not far away, his meaning clear: if the fighting continued, it was evident that the situation would escalate, and they might attract unwelcome attention from others.
"Hmph, what happens otherwise?" scoffed a strong figure radiating a sinister aura, coldly eyeing Qin Chen and the others. "Even if there are outsiders present, do you think they'll dare to intervene? The ancient stone of space was obtained by us three first. According to the rules of the Wasteland of All Gods, whoever gets it first owns it. If they dare to interfere, we'll just kill them, and no one would have the audacity to say anything."
