Two more days passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, Shi An and his group had become local tyrants, sweeping through the ruins with few provocateurs.
Furthermore, after figuring out who the man in the green robe was and why he attacked them, Shi Hao and his group launched a counterattack, hunting down the sealers.
In short, whenever they saw someone older and they quietly approached them, Shi Hao and his men would relentlessly pursue them.
This situation infuriated the vanguard of the major clans. Who was killing whom? They had mobilized their strongest warriors into the ruins to deal with the brat and his associates, but instead, they were being chased and attacked!
But there was nothing they could do. With Shi An around, they didn't even have a chance to get close. When they were still ten miles away from him, Shi An's strange methods would break the seal on their bodies, and they would be wiped out by the rules of Hundred Broken Mountains.
In the end, realizing that they could not deal with Shi An in Baiduan Mountain, they had no choice but to give up on causing trouble for them and instead went as far away as possible.
This made Shi An and the others feel much more relaxed, allowing them to focus more intently on finding the treasure.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, just as Shi An and his companions were focused on finding the treasure, a sound like a mountain torrent suddenly rang out. The light at the horizon was intense, as if nine suns were rising together, dispelling the band of black mist. The sound there was like thunder.
"Oh no! Run! Many powerful artifacts have been revived, creating a divine tide!"
Seeing this, many people couldn't help but feel fear, burst into shouts, and then ran away one by one.
Soon, the number of fleeing creatures reached tens of thousands, all of them pale and bloodless. Among them were powerful raging apes, terrifying lions, and many royal princes and nobles.
All living beings that entered the ruins were fleeing in terror!
"Roar..."
Even the nine-headed lion couldn't help but roar, stepping on a string of prayer beads as it fled at top speed.
As for Shi Hao's other underlings, including the Big Red Bird, the Sable, and the Three-Eyed Clan's experts, they were no exception; they turned and ran without daring to linger.
At the same time, at the horizon, divine sounds thundered and blazing light completely engulfed the world, as if a dozen ancient divine birds—golden crows—had emerged from the sky and illuminated the ruins.
Those treasures combined, emitting a dazzling light as they slashed down, truly like a divine tide, with a thunderous sound, impossible to resist.
Numerous creatures swarmed and fled in all directions.
But Shi Hao was very excited, his eyes wide open, gazing at the divine tide and wiping his mouth incessantly.
"Mine, mine, all mine!"
These are all rare treasures, crafted from the most powerful remnant species' bones and fur, such as the golden crow's divine wings, the dragon's gray horn, and the black tortoise's armor—all supreme treasures.
However, as the rumbling sound came and the divine tide approached, he could only jump up and down, then turn around and try to escape.
To his surprise, his brother Xiao An showed no intention of running away, which made his heart skip a beat. He looked at him with a puzzled expression and asked, "Brother Xiao An, aren't you going to run away?"
Why did you run away?
Upon hearing this, Shi An smiled faintly, his gaze fixed on the sweeping divine tide, revealing a sense of transcendence and confidence.
Then, he took out a stone tablet, three inches long and two inches wide, from somewhere, slowly erected it in front of him, and then gently touched it.
"Whoosh!"
Instantly, an incredibly strong suction force appeared, and the stone tablet seemed to become a bottomless black hole, forcibly changing the direction of the surging divine tide and causing it to fly towards it.
Upon seeing this, Shi An immediately frowned and slightly restrained the divine power of the stone tablet to prevent it from attracting too much attention.
Of course, even so, many treasures were still drawn in by it, turning into streaks of light and disappearing into it.
At this moment, the place resembles a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, a truly magnificent sight.
"This is·······"
This sight left Shi Hao, who witnessed it all, speechless with astonishment, hardly able to believe what was happening before his eyes.
Those treasures, whether it was the golden crow's divine wings or the dragon's gray horn, seemed to have lost their divine power at this moment, and were absorbed and devoured by the small stone tablet like docile lambs.
Finally, unable to contain his curiosity, he asked Shi An, "Brother An, what kind of treasure is this?"
Upon hearing this, Shi An pondered for a moment, but ultimately did not tell him about the Purple Spirit True Immortal. He only told him that it was a treasure he had obtained by chance, which contained a large space that could be used to store things.
Young Shi Hao didn't think much of the answer; he just felt that his little brother An was becoming more and more mysterious.
From childhood to now, he has never truly understood him.
"Okay, stop looking at me."
Seeing this, Shi An didn't say anything more. He patted Shi Hao on the shoulder, pointed to several treasures that had fallen down due to the influence of the stone tablet, and reminded him, "Go and help collect those treasures that slipped through the net. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
Upon hearing Shi An's words, Shi Hao instantly snapped out of his daze. Then, his figure moved like lightning as he began to dart around, collecting the treasures that had been missed or deviated from their trajectory by the stone tablet's suction.
Each of these treasures exudes an extraordinary aura, and even a brat like him can feel the astonishing power contained within them.
And so, as time slowly passed, the divine tide gradually began to weaken, and those revived treasures seemed to have exhausted their last bit of power, disappearing from the sight of all living beings.
The ruins returned to darkness.
This time, however, even though occasionally a treasure would rise up in the distance, emitting dazzling light like shooting stars across the sky!
But the creatures present were no longer so envious; instead, they felt their bodies grow cold. The treasures here were too terrifying. Once they gathered together to form a divine tide, they could destroy everything, and nothing could stop them.
After all, in just one great calamity, at least two thousand lives were killed, their corpses lying in the ruins, their blood staining the rubble.
"The weapons left behind by ancient powerhouses are truly terrifying!"
As they watched, more and more creatures began to have thoughts of retreating. No matter how good the treasure was, it was not as important as their lives.
However, two human youths stood out from the crowd. Instead of retreating, they ventured deeper into the area to search for even more powerful magical artifacts.
Time flew by, and another half month passed. The two brothers, Shi An and Shi Hao, finally reached the deepest part of the ruins.
Although several divine tides occurred during this process, thanks to Shi An's presence, the two of them not only suffered no damage, but also gained a lot of treasures, to the point that they were overwhelmed with them.
Despite this, the two brothers did not complain that it was too much; on the contrary, they both felt it was not enough, far from enough.
