The arrows launched from the mouths of the dragon statues at speeds surpassing sound, distorting the very space around them due to their velocity and power.
Though Yu Tian could easily tear through space himself, it was remarkable that mere constructs could fire arrows with enough force to warp space—proof of the immense effort the Dragon Clan had poured into crafting these statues.

In the blink of an eye, the arrows crossed dozens of meters and struck the dome made of Yuan Magnetic Stone. Despite their terrifying power, not a single scratch was left on the dome, a testament to the superiority of Yuan Magnetic Stone as a material.
While smelting and forging techniques were crucial, the quality of raw materials was equally vital. A master blacksmith could forge a sword from ordinary iron capable of slicing through steel like butter, but if another smith used superior materials, they could create a weapon of equal or greater power.
Thus, though crafting skill mattered, raw materials were no less important. Only fools claimed skill alone was everything. The truest masters understood that the better their materials, the greater their results. The finest smiths could extract 120% of a material's potential—and the higher the material's base quality, the more formidable that 120% became.
"…"
Yu Tian cast a glance at the Yuan Magnetic Stone dome, nodded in satisfaction, and continued walking through the Quick Arrow Zone.

He took two steps forward before halting again. A humanoid figure had emerged from behind the dragon statues, seizing his attention.
"So, this is the Dragon Clan's greatest masterpiece in the Great Thousand Worlds," Yu Tian murmured, staring at the stone statue with a human form leaping across submerged stone platforms, advancing toward them.
The Dragon Vein Archer.
This stone statue was the Dragon Clan's crowning achievement in the Great Thousand Worlds, crafted by their finest artisans with the rarest materials. It possessed the power of a Divine Sea cultivator—the pinnacle of strength in this realm. None in the Great Thousand Worlds could surpass the Divine Sea tier, especially since ascending to the Upper Realm was now impossible. This made the Archer an unrivaled force.
But even more terrifying were its artifacts: an immensely powerful bow and arrows, both Divine-tier treasures. Such items were nearly impossible to forge in the Great Thousand Worlds due to scarce knowledge and resources. Even with a master smith and perfect materials, the success rate for crafting Divine treasures was below 10%.
The ancient Dragon Clan, however, had possessed the talent and resources to create the Dragon Vein Archer—a feat irreplicable today, even by the Great Thousand Worlds' greatest smiths.
"This Dragon Vein Archer resembles the Sky Demon Puppet…" Yu Tian mused, recalling the puppet he'd once purchased to handle tedious tasks.
Though he'd abandoned the Sky Demon Puppet after mastering the Blood Cloning Art and Infinite Reincarnation Art (creating clones infused with fragments of his soul and power proved superior), he hadn't discarded it entirely. The puppet's potential remained vast, and the Tian Empire's researchers were studying it. Mass-producing such puppets could grant the empire an overwhelming army—especially since the Sky Demon Puppet could evolve by absorbing treasures and materials.

While Yu Tian was lost in thought, the Dragon Vein Archer didn't wait. It unleashed a volley of arrows at him and the group inside the Yuan Magnetic Stone dome.
These arrows were faster and deadlier than those of the golden dragon statues, slicing through space with near-silent precision. Their trajectories, warped by spatial laws, made them nearly impossible to track without mastery of spatial principles.
Though Yu Tian's comprehension of Laws was only around Level 10, his understanding had grown steadily since arriving in this world. Everything in the Universe of Great Expanse was woven from high-tier laws—even living beings. He didn't know if this was due to fragmented memories of his past life as Li Mo resurfacing or his innate talent, but his grasp of the universe's laws kept deepening.
He even felt his Primordial Strength—once mist-like—beginning to condense into a liquid state within his body, a sign of its solidification and the nascent formation of an inner world.
In the ATG World, ordinary cultivators liquefied their profound strength in the Divine Extinction Realm, solidified it in the Divine Transformation Realm, and forged their inner worlds in the World Lord Realm by integrating laws to amplify their power.
Geniuses, however, could liquefy their strength as early as the Divine Master Realm, refine their comprehension in the Divine Extinction Realm, and solidify it in the Divine Transformation Realm, granting them overwhelming superiority. Some might even reach the God Ascension Realm or beyond.
But for those like Yu Tian, who could liquefy their strength in the Divine Tribulation Realm? Such beings did not exist.
Lost in thought but never off-guard, Yu Tian halted all arrows mid-air, inches from his body.

The next instant, he vanished using Void Phantom God, reappearing beside the Dragon Vein Archer. He gripped its neck and lifted it effortlessly.
"As expected, the Dragon Vein Archer is a Sky Demon Puppet…" Yu Tian muttered. The Archer was clearly fashioned from a corpse and fused with treasures, much like his old puppet—"Though its refinement methods and core differ slightly from the ones I knew."
This discovery alone was worth the effort. Without hesitation, Yu Tian stripped the bow and arrows from the Archer, sealed its consciousness completely, and tossed it into his storage for his empire's smiths to study later. The Dragon Vein Archer would be immensely valuable to the Tian Empire.
