Qi Huang's death threw the members of Seven Sins into complete disarray. Moreover, the Spirit Warriors that Qi Huang had summoned did not disappear upon her death — instead, they had fully broken free. With no coordination among them whatsoever, their combat power plummeted, and dealing with the Thunder Eagle became far easier for Lei Ying.
Seeing that the Spirit Warriors could no longer even serve as a distraction against the Thunder Eagle, the members of Seven Sins completely lost their composure. Abandoning all other concerns, they charged headlong toward the main hall of the Thunder Temple.
At this point, only the main hall offered them a sliver of survival. Inside, Level 150 Tier 3 Temple Guardians stood watch, and combat among players was strictly forbidden within its walls.
This was precisely why Di Tian had held the main hall's entrance so stubbornly before — to prevent Lunhui and the others from reaching the hall, where they would have been beyond his reach entirely.
Shi Feng watched the scattered members of Seven Sins flee but did not give chase. Instead, he immediately picked up the two items Qi Huang had dropped.
While Level 75 Dark-Gold equipment held no appeal for him at this stage, it was still top-tier gear for other experts. Even some of the current top-tier players didn't have anything better — the best most of them could manage was Level 75 Gold-grade equipment. Only monsters of Qi Huang's caliber could have afforded such luxury.
After all, even the top players were only around Level 77, and acquiring Level 75 Dark-Gold equipment was extraordinarily difficult for even the great superpowers.
But compared to the Dark-Gold equipment, what Shi Feng cared about far more was the mysterious ancient page Qi Huang had produced earlier.
The ability to forcibly summon Spirit Warriors within the Lightning God's Secret Realm — that kind of power was absolutely extraordinary. At the very least, he couldn't think of anything else capable of summoning Spirit Warriors inside that realm.
The Lightning God's Secret Realm operated under world rules established by the Lightning God himself. Without the Lightning God's permission, even Legendary-grade fragments couldn't break those rules. Yet this mysterious ancient page had done exactly that — a testament to just how extraordinary the item truly was.
If he abandoned the ancient page to chase down the fleeing members of Seven Sins, it would be a tremendous loss.
"This is… a Remnant of the Ancient God!" Shi Feng examined the mysterious page, and his heart jolted with shock.
The Ancient Gods were the honored title given to the earliest generation of deities. Legend held that the Ancient Gods had created the continent of the Divine Realm. After a great war, the Ancient Gods vanished from the Divine Realm and were never seen again.
Anything within the Divine Realm connected to the Ancient Gods was invariably a treasure without exception.
Among all the Ancient God artifacts, the most famous were undoubtedly the Remnants of the Ancient God. In fact, many of the great guild wars — even the wars between kingdoms and empires — had been fought over these very fragments.
Each page of the Remnants of the Ancient God possessed inconceivable power. Legend said that if one could assemble all the pages of a single chapter, they would wield power capable of destroying heaven and earth — power enough to rival the gods themselves.
These gods were not Tier 6 god-ranked players, but true Tier 6 deities.
It was said that the founding rulers of certain kingdoms and empires on the Divine Realm continent had achieved their conquests precisely because they had obtained the power of the Remnants of the Ancient God. Otherwise, in that era, humanity could never have competed against the formidable alien races for territory in the Divine Realm and carved out such vast dominions.
Now Shi Feng finally understood how Qi Huang had managed to forcibly summon Spirit Warriors within the Lightning God's Secret Realm. If it involved a Remnant of the Ancient God, such a feat was no longer so inconceivable. After all, the Ancient Gods were far more powerful than the deities born within the Divine Realm, and a Remnant meticulously crafted by an Ancient God was naturally not something the Lightning God's world rules could contend with.
Shi Feng then carefully examined the Remnant of the Ancient God in his hands.
Remnant of the Ancient God — Page Five. Epic-grade item. An ancient sheet of paper that, despite the passage of immeasurable time, still bore indelible divine script upon its surface, possessing inconceivable power.
Skill One — Spirit Warrior Summoning: Sacrifice a portion of your soul to forcibly awaken twelve ancient Spirit Warriors to fight on your behalf.

(Souls in a weakened state cannot perform the summoning.)
