Bexia rushed forward, the concealment effect of spatial power was not something a simple invisibility spell could compare to. Additionally, he also tapped into Mò Qīngqìn's power of illusion, which made it crucial that as long as he wasn't standing directly in front of an immortal deity, the immortal deity would absolutely not be able to discover him.

The scent of battle and commanding Divinity was right here. However, this kind of sensing was not precise once you got close, so Bexia had to slowly search the area next!

In the scorching lava-filled space, this icy region seemed like paradise to ordinary people. Of course, Bexia also felt comfortable, not because of the heat, but simply enjoying himself.

Divinity was in this area. After concealing his presence, Bexia boldly strode in. Unless it was the same type of spatial formation, it was impossible to sense Bexia's presence.

This icy zone was like a small city. After Bexia entered, he could see many busy figures coming out of teleportation arrays set up around them, transporting plundered treasures here. Just from this, it was clear that this was definitely the lair of the Yellow Sand Bandits!

Thinking about where his Divinity might be, Bexia coincidentally saw the bandits who were moving the items and immediately followed them. After all, Divinity was considered a treasure, so it must be stored in the treasure vault.

However, to Bexia's disappointment, it seemed these guys were just small-fry, the items they were moving were mediocre, and the treasure vault was in complete disarray. Not even a trace of his Divinity's aura could be sensed, making him wonder if he was being foolish!

"Although they may not be able to use Divinity, anyone with a discerning eye can see it's a treasure. If they want to keep it safe, it must be in the hands of important people!" Bexia scanned the surroundings and locked his gaze on the central area, where the buildings were taller and this location had a geographical structure like a wish list island. Surely, important figures would be in the central area.

Unfurling the Wing of Azure Sky, Bexia flew towards the center. He landed directly on the top of the tallest spire and looked down at the building and palace-like courtyard below, thinking to himself that these bandits really knew how to enjoy life.

Steadily landing, Bexia summoned the Grasp of the Void, using the spatial power to conceal himself even deeper within the layers of the space. He then floated towards the direction where he felt a presence.

Bexia cautiously released his spiritual power to sense his surroundings. In situations where he couldn't sense it precisely, he had to rely on himself to confirm. However, to his surprise, he quickly pinpointed the location of his Divinity. But his expression changed abruptly — a kind of fury ignited in his eyes, as he found out his Divinity was actually hidden at the bottom of a hot spring, treated as nothing more than a stepping stone. What's more, there was a man and multiple women indulging in debauchery in the pool in broad daylight.

"Oh, damn it!" Bexia couldn't hold back and teleported into the room, instantly freezing the entire room with the Primordial Ice Crystal, including the man and women indulging in debauchery!

"This is outrageous!" Bexia scooped up the Divinity hidden under the pool water, without a word, and turned to leave. He knew his earlier actions would have alerted some people, so he had to leave immediately.

"How dare you come to our Yellow Sand Bandit's headquarters to kill someone, today you won't be able to leave!" Bexia was a step too late. Just as he left the place, the alarm at the Yellow Sand Bandit headquarters sounded, the defensive formation was activated immediately, displaying a surprising speed.

"Damn it, Fifth Brother was killed!" A sinister man stood in the frozen room, his expression dark.

"Third Brother, let's go after that person!"

"Big Brother has already gone. Let's deal with Fifth Brother's body first…" Before the young man called Third Brother could finish his sentence, a loud rumbling came from outside.

"Boom boom boom!" The sound of power colliding was heard, indicating that a showdown had already begun outside.

"This newcomer is a bit tricky. Go call Second Brother!" A voice rang in the ears of the Yellow Sand Bandit's Third Brother. He frowned and immediately crushed a rune stone.

At that moment, outside, Bexia faced a middle-aged man who was unexpectedly an immortal god of the body refining path. Although his strength was considerable, in their brief scuffle, Bexia had the upper hand.

"Who are you, and why did you come to our Yellow Sand Bandits to kill? If you don't give an answer today, you'll have to stay here as our guest!"

"Let's fight first and then talk!" Bexia hadn't truly had a chance to let loose since learning the Strand of Divine Chaos, so encountering an immortal god who allowed him to unleash his full power was a rare opportunity for him.

"You…" The leader of the Yellow Sand Bandits exchanged a punch with Bexia, feeling slightly disadvantaged. Remembering the earlier slight, he tried to be polite while speaking. Although one of their people had died, it wasn't a big deal. Despite addressing each other as brothers in this lifetime, they weren't blood-related after all.

Even if they were blood-related, so what? If someone dies, they die. Are you going to lecture a group of ruthless thieves about that?

"Come on! Hit me with a punch!" Bexia cut short the idle chatter, taking a step forward and delivering a straightforward punch.

"Strand of Divine Chaos!"

"Sandburst Fist!" The leader of the Yellow Sand Bandits felt that Bexia's punch seemed ordinary, but after his earlier disadvantage, he didn't forget that, and immediately counterattacked with his powerful fist technique. The punch seemed to compress an entire desert, which then burst violently upon contact, releasing an enormous force.

Yet, Bexia's Strand of Divine Chaos seemed to have the upper hand. Under the clash of their fists, the leader of the Yellow Sand Bandits' face paled, the illusory yellow sand in his hand shattered instantly, purely by the force alone.
