The ancient battlefield was vast and desolate. Below, there was a massive crater, as if a great force had caused the ground to collapse and fracture. It appeared scarred and damaged.
Lin Fei arrived at the outskirts of the ancient battlefield. The place was deserted. The scope of the ancient battlefield was enormous, and its edges were expansive and almost endless. He could sense any movement from a long distance away. Moreover, Lin Fei did not conceal his presence, ensuring that the mysterious woman could find him easily.
About an hour later, a figure approached from a distance. It was a woman, her demeanor cold as ice, but her aura was weak, seemingly just at the Martial Saint level. In other places, a Martial Saint would be considered powerful. But on the ancient battlefield, they would be in great danger, nearly akin to a death wish.
"Are you the one with information about the Gravity Stone?" Lin Fei calmly asked.
The woman gritted her teeth and solemnly replied, "Senior, I indeed know of the Gravity Stone's whereabouts. Moreover, it's a large piece with an intense gravitational pull, surely enough to meet your needs. I can lead you to it."
Lin Fei studied the woman. She had witnessed him kill the Five Elders of Taiyi Dao Palace and knew his strength. She would not dare to lie to him. There must be genuine information about the Gravity Stone.
"What do you want in return? Martial arts secrets? Elixirs?" Lin Fei believed that, for a Martial Saint like her, he could satisfy her demands.
The woman gritted her teeth again and firmly stated, "I don't need martial arts secrets, nor do I need elixirs. I only have one condition. I hope you can kill someone for me—a Martial Sovereign who has cultivated three Lesser Divine Abilities. Since you could kill the Five Elders from Taiyi Dao Palace, you can surely kill this Martial Sovereign."
"Assist you in killing a Martial Sovereign?" Lin Fei looked at her and then nodded, "I agree."
The woman appeared somewhat stunned upon hearing Lin Fei's prompt agreement. She had prepared various arguments, yet Lin Fei had accepted without any hesitation.
"You agreed, just like that?" She asked in disbelief.
"Yes, I did."
"Don't you want to know why I want him dead? Or who this Martial Sovereign is?"
Lin Fei gazed at her with a profound expression and calmly said, "Does it matter who he is or why you want him dead? Perhaps it's crucial for you, but for me, it's merely a simple task. I need the Gravity Stone, and you want that Martial Sovereign dead. It's just a straightforward exchange."
The woman paused for a moment, lost in thought. To her, a Martial Sovereign was an insurmountable foe, one she could spend a lifetime trying to defeat.
However, to Lin Fei, killing one seemed like a trivial matter. She had once dedicated her life to martial arts training, paying any price to advance. But to this day, she was merely at the Martial Saint level. Perhaps she had been wrong all along. Terribly wrong. Revenge could be sought in many ways. It wasn't necessary for her to do it personally.
"Lead me to the Gravity Stone," Lin Fei said calmly. "If I find the stone, I will kill your enemy for you. If the stone is not found or fails to meet my expectations, you know the consequences."
Clearly, he had recognized her thirst for revenge. The task of eliminating a single Martial Sovereign, especially one with just three Lesser Divine Abilities, wasn't a big deal to Lin Fei.
"Senior, please follow me." The woman said, her teeth gritted as she flew towards the ancient battlefield below. The landscape was vast and endless, but she was flying too slowly for Lin Fei's liking.
Suddenly, with a swift motion, Lin Fei grabbed her hand. The woman looked at him, startled.
"You're too slow. You just point the way," Lin Fei said.
Following her directions, Lin Fei used his Saber Domain to travel. Within this domain, he could almost teleport, making it ideal for covering long distances rapidly.
After some time, the woman spoke, "Senior, we are here. That valley below holds a massive Gravity Stone. Do not fly directly above the valley, or the stone's gravitational force will pull you down. Even a Martial Sovereign can be killed by its force."
Lin Fei took note of the valley and gradually descended. As he unleashed his Saber Domain, it attempted to envelop the entire valley. But as soon as it reached above the valley, a terrifying gravitational force tore through his domain.
"Such fearsome gravity!" Lin Fei exclaimed. "This is the Gravity Stone I have been searching for. The stronger the gravity, the better."
A glint flashed in his eyes as he took a step forward. Having tested his Saber Domain earlier, he had a rough idea of the strength of gravity. Now, he wanted to experience it firsthand.
As expected, when Lin Fei reached above the valley, a powerful gravitational force immediately yanked him down, pulling him swiftly toward the valley floor.
"Senior!" The woman exclaimed, a trace of worry evident in her voice. However, she dared not get any closer and could only watch from afar.
"Gravity Domain!" As Lin Fei plummeted at a rapid pace due to the overwhelming gravitational pull, he knew that the powerful force would be lethal once he crashed into the valley floor. Even his robust physique wouldn't be able to withstand the impact.
But Lin Fei possessed the Gravity Domain. With this ability, he could manipulate gravity within its confines and remain unaffected by external gravitational forces. As he activated it, his descent slowed considerably. However, the Gravity Domain alone wasn't strong enough to counteract the immense gravitational force of the valley, it only reduced a fraction of it.
"Saber Domain!" Lin Fei then deployed his Saber Domain. Individually, neither the Saber Domain nor the Gravity Domain could completely withstand the crushing gravitational force, but when combined, they held firm against it. As a result, Lin Fei's rapid descent came to a halt, and he began to descend slowly and deliberately.
Upon reaching the valley floor, Lin Fei observed a colossal skeleton that appeared to belong to an enormous beast. It seemed as though this gargantuan creature had been brutally smashed into the valley. Or more accurately, the valley itself had been formed by the impact of this exotic beast's crash landing. This was the aftermath of a force so potent that it carved out an entire valley, leaving the exotic beast lifeless.
Scattered on the ground were various small stones. These were the Gravity Stones. However, upon closer inspection, Lin Fei realized that these stones were fragments of bones. Over an extended period, these bone fragments merged with the soil to form rocks. And the most terrifying gravitational pull didn't emanate from these stones but from the enormous skeleton itself.
"So, the Gravity Stones are essentially the bones of this exotic beast?" Lin Fei pondered. "Could it be that certain exotic beasts inherently possess the ability to manipulate gravity? Even in death, their bones generate such a formidable gravitational field?"
Lin Fei was astounded. Such a magnificent creature that could control gravity must have been extraordinarily formidable in its lifetime. Yet, despite its immense power, this beast had been forcefully hurled to the ground, creating an entire valley in the process. What force or being was capable of slaughtering such beasts?
"Having found the source of the gravity and being so elated has led to a sudden insight, your Divine Ability Gravity Domain has now entered a state of enlightenment, and its cultivation progress is accelerating."
1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%...
A voice echoed in Lin Fei's mind. The progress of his Gravity Domain cultivation was increasing at a visible pace. The intense gravitational stimuli here made it the perfect environment for the Gravity Domain.
