Chapter 171: A Single Line Separating Two Worlds

With the giant face in the sky dissipating and Fang Han departing, the people gathered around the Lu Family's martial arena gradually came to their senses.

Their memories of what had happened still ended at the moment Fang Han had transformed into a giant.

As for everything that happened afterward, they had no recollection whatsoever.

Yet when they saw the two Grandmasters lying unconscious in the arena, the shock in their hearts remained impossible to calm for a long time.

As for the enormous uproar caused by this battle, there was no need to elaborate.

Fang Han, meanwhile, controlled the Wupeng True Body and, guided by the Heavenly Dao Severance Qi, flew continuously for half a day. He traversed nearly half of the Martial Dao World before finally arriving at his destination.

A vast stretch of snow-capped mountains far removed from the mortal world.

The region was frozen year-round, with not a trace of life to be found.

Moreover, the cold here was almost unnatural.

Even the Wupeng True Body could sense a trace of chill.

Fang Han hovered in midair and surveyed his surroundings.

"The final location sensed by the Heavenly Dao Severance Qi was here."

"However, after entering these snow-capped mountains, the exact location of the aura became blurred."

"It seems something is interfering with it..."

"Hm?"

Suddenly, Fang Han frowned slightly.

He sensed that the "flaw" within his Wupeng True Body seemed to have expanded somewhat without him realizing it.

The flaw had not disappeared with the retreat of the giant face. It still remained within Fang Han's body.

It had merely been temporarily suppressed by the spiritual qi nourished by the two strange beast phantoms.

But ever since arriving at these snow-capped mountains, the rate at which his vitality and spiritual qi were leaking away had increased by several times.

"Looks like I need to speed things up."

"If I cannot maintain the Wupeng True Body, I will certainly not be a match for the person behind all this."

"The depletion of the world's spiritual qi..."

An idea suddenly occurred to Fang Han.

He deliberately released a strand of spiritual qi and carefully observed the direction in which it disappeared.

Sure enough, it was as though an invisible abyss existed here, greedily devouring the scattered spiritual qi between heaven and earth.

The moment spiritual qi appeared, it was involuntarily drawn toward that abyss and slid downward.

Fang Han followed the direction in which the spiritual qi vanished and entered deeper into the snow-capped mountains.

He slipped into an inconspicuous ice fissure between the mountains and continued downward.

After several more hours of travel, the scenery before him suddenly opened up.

An incomparably vast space appeared before his eyes.

Despite being located deep underground, it was not dark in the slightest.

This was entirely because of a faintly glowing boundary line below.

Fang Han frowned and gazed into the distance, looking toward the scenery on the other side of the boundary.

He vaguely saw a world brimming with life.

Unlike the Martial Dao World's depleted spiritual qi, that place was filled with abundant Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, much like Great Qian.

However...

Fang Han clearly saw that the beings living there were not humans.

They were all kinds of strange beasts!

They seemed to have established their own civilization and society.

Moreover, Fang Han sensed several extremely powerful auras among them.

"After manifesting the Wupeng True Body, my actual combat strength is roughly equivalent to the upper-tier Spirit Resonance realm and lower-tier Grotto Mystic realm of Great Qian."

"But these several auras..."

Fang Han sensed them from afar, and an instinctive feeling of unease arose within his heart.

"They actually possess the might of Great Qian's Celestial Phenomena realm."

Perhaps the strange beasts had different habits from humans, but these several powerful beings did not conceal their auras in the slightest. Instead, they deliberately displayed their strength to the fullest.

As a result, Fang Han could perceive them with exceptional clarity.

"It seems the truth behind this world is far more complicated than I imagined."

"Based on the information I have gathered so far, it seems that the strange beast world is using the human world as a source of nourishment..."

The situation ahead had already exceeded what Fang Han was capable of handling, so he temporarily developed the intention to retreat.

"My purpose is to seize the Xuanhuang Qi of Heaven and Earth."

"I should establish myself in the Martial Dao World first."

Fang Han's objective remained clear. He did not allow his momentary victory to cloud his judgment.

Instead, the Heavenly Dao Severance Qi within his abdomen had become extremely restless, seemingly salivating over the strange beast world on the other side of the boundary.

"What I need to do now is find the person behind all this."

Ignoring the agitation of the Heavenly Dao Severance Qi, Fang Han began searching again.

He had a premonition that the other party had not left the Martial Dao World to enter the region beyond the boundary.

Instead, they were still lurking somewhere.

It was even possible that they were secretly observing him.

Fang Han glanced once more at the boundary line that faintly glimmered within the dark abyss.

An idea suddenly came to him.

Without further hesitation, he flew directly toward it.

At the same time, he spat out the Heavenly Dao Severance Qi that had long since become impatient within his abdomen.

His body was like a streak of flowing fire, while black energy raged and spread around him. Combined with the burly and robust physique of the Wupeng True Body, Fang Han now truly resembled a demonic god descending into the mortal world, ferocious and terrifying.

Just as this demonic god was about to break through the boundary and enter the strange beast world beyond...

An existence that had remained hidden within the darkness finally could not hold itself back any longer.

Faint ripples of energy spread out, seemingly intending to stop Fang Han.

At that very moment, a sharp glint flashed through Fang Han's eyes.

He abruptly changed direction and charged violently toward the aura he had sensed.

Using the Wupeng True Body, he unleashed the Imperial Fist's Razing the Imperial Court.

Its might was completely incomparable to when he possessed an ordinary mortal body.

As the fist force raged outward, even this dark space trembled violently.

Like a muffled thunderclap exploding, Fang Han's fist struck something hidden within the darkness head-on.

The other party was forced to reveal itself in a sorry state.

Fang Han narrowed his eyes and carefully examined it.

A strange beast.

However, unlike the illusory manifestations produced by the divine abilities comprehended by Grandmasters, the strange beast before him was a living, tangible existence.

Its appearance resembled a bull, except its head was white and it possessed only a single eye.

Its tail was like a snake, standing high in the air.

Both its single eye and its tail were filled with wariness and fear as they scrutinized Fang Han.

Information about the strange beast instantly surfaced in Fang Han's mind.

"There is a beast whose form resembles a bull with a white head, a single eye, and a snake-like tail. Its name is Fei. Wherever it travels through water, the water dries up. Wherever it passes through grass, the grass dies. When it appears, a great plague descends upon the world."

"Fei..."

The moment Fang Han recognized its identity, his attacks did not stop in the slightest.

Every move was merciless, pounding into the strange beast before him.

To Fang Han's surprise, this Fei seemed exceptionally weak.

It was far inferior to the giant face that had manifested earlier, possessing strength equivalent to only the upper-tier Spirit Resonance realm.

"It should be the same one."

"However... its connection with the will of Heavenly Dao has been severed. Without the ability to borrow the might of heaven and earth, it has become far weaker."

Understanding dawned within Fang Han's heart, but the force behind his fists only grew more ruthless.

Fei attempted to resist, but how could it possibly be a match for the Wupeng True Body?

After taking who knew how many punches, the strange beast finally submitted and let out a series of miserable howls.

"Stop hitting me! Stop!"

It was not a language Fang Han was familiar with, but it was the same language the giant face had used earlier when issuing its curse.

For some reason, Fang Han could still understand it without any difficulty.

It was as though the Wupeng True Body itself had automatically translated its words for him.

"Can you speak human language?"

Fang Han delivered another heavy punch directly onto the bull's head and asked coldly.
