Martial Arts, the Fairy's Cultivation

Not long ago, Man Shan and his companion ventured deep into the Tianyan Mountains. Despite encountering numerous obstacles along the way, their formidable strength ultimately allowed them to successfully reach the core area.

"Brother Du, it seems we've been discovered."

The burly Man Shan's expression hardened slightly as he sensed a powerful aura rapidly approaching their location.

"He's at the Lesser Completion of the Qi Creation Realm, quite a formidable opponent." Du Yun, dressed in white, gripped his sword tightly, ready to face the opponent alone, but was stopped by Man Shan.

"This place is not suitable for a prolonged battle; it would be better if we attacked together."

Before the words were finished, billowing dust swept in, and a terrifying giant python, tens of meters thick, swept through the forest and suddenly appeared in sight. Its head, as large as a house, rose straight up from the ground and ascended into the sky to face Du Yun and the other person at eye level. As its scarlet tongue flickered, an unbearable, pungent stench wafted over them.

"Let's do it!"

With a shout, Man Shan unleashed a surge of power, and at the same time, Du Yun drew his sword, his already prepared attack heading towards the giant python.

Boom boom—

As the two unleashed their full power, a powerful attack capable of splitting mountains and shattering peaks erupted with dazzling light, completely enveloping the enormous, seemingly endless body of the giant python. Accompanied by bursts of angry hissing and roaring, incredibly violent energy fluctuations swept outwards, and the vast Yuan Power transformed into a pillar of light that shot straight into the sky.

After a fierce battle, the giant python, which had reached the minor stage of the Qi Creation Realm, was forced back by the combined efforts of the two young powerhouses. Despite achieving such a feat, Man Shan and Du Yun did not show much joy in their eyes; instead, their expressions became solemn.

"We've only just entered the core area and we've already encountered such a powerful guardian. We'll have to be careful from now on."

Although the two of them working together could protect themselves, their situation would be quite dangerous if they were surrounded by several demonic beasts comparable to the giant python.

After advancing for a while, Du Yun and his companion carefully avoided the powerful auras. However, just as they were searching for any possible traces of the treasure, an unexpected event occurred.

"Hey!"

From a distant land, a loud cry suddenly rang out, carrying an extremely terrifying and fierce aura, as deep and impenetrable as an ancient demonic bird, shaking the wilderness.

Just as the two men's expressions changed, a terrifying pressure, like the might of heaven, suddenly descended. Under that pressure, all living beings within a radius of hundreds of miles instinctively felt fear and had no choice but to kneel on the ground, as if facing an unparalleled overlord.

Man Shan and Du Yun, who were walking on air, were instantly overwhelmed by that aura and had to land on the ground, their eyes wide with shock as they looked into the deepest part of the mountain range.

"This is... the aura of the Creation Realm. Has the Sky-Splitting Roc in the center of the Heavenly Flame Mountains awakened?"

Du Yun's expression was extremely solemn. The only Creation Realm level demon beast supreme in the Tianyan Mountain Range, the entire core area was its territory. Given the extremely fierce nature of the legendary Sky-Splitting Roc, any intruder would be regarded as a challenge to its majesty.

The two never expected that their movements would alert that terrifying monster, and now they were in big trouble.

"Let's go, we can't stay here any longer!"

Man Shan and Du Yun hesitated for only a moment before making the right choice, bursting forth with unprecedented speed and speeding towards the horizon.

Although there is only a one-word difference between Creation and Qi Creation, the power is worlds apart. With their abilities, they could fight against those in the Qi Creation realm, but against those who had truly stepped into the Creation realm, they could not muster the slightest will to resist. As successors of their sect, they had personally witnessed the power of the sect's powerful figures and knew the difference between them.

Hundreds of miles from the center of the mountain range, the two decisively withdrew. Even so, the owner of that aura did not seem to intend to let them go.

laugh--

As the two fleeing figures from Manshan were horrified to see that the sky behind them seemed to have been torn open. Then, a roc claw that blotted out the sun appeared in their sight with a shocking display, carrying terrifying Yuan Power fluctuations that could tear the heavens and split the earth, and was about to wipe out the two tiny figures in one fell swoop.

Under the cover of the colossal claw that blotted out the sky, Man Shan felt his scalp tingle. His powerful physique, which surpassed all others of his level, could not give him a sense of security. In desperation, he instantly burned his essence blood and unleashed a strike without reservation, which, together with the sword light that Du Yun had slashed with all his might, met the Heavenly Roc Claw above.

boom!

After an unimaginable collision, both of their attacks were broken at the same time, and their bodies were sent flying thousands of feet away before they could barely stabilize themselves in the air. Fortunately, the phantom of the Peng claw formed by Yuan energy also slowly faded away after this attack and disappeared before their eyes.

"As expected of a rare species possessing a trace of ancient bloodline, its strength is probably almost comparable to a Great Perfection of the Creation Realm, isn't it?"

A look of horror flashed in Du Yun's eyes. An attack launched from hundreds of miles away had such power. The strength of the Sky-Splitting Roc was even more terrifying than he had imagined. It was indeed worthy of being the supreme demon beast that had dominated the Tianyan Mountain Range for many years!

Shocked, Man Shan and his companion dared not linger for a moment. They unleashed their inner energy without reservation, transforming into two streaks of light that sped towards the outer edge of the mountain range.

"They actually escaped? Why didn't the Sky-Splitting Roc continue its attack...?"

Having survived the ordeal, a hint of doubt crossed Du Yun's mind. With their cultivation at the half-step Qi Creation Realm, they could only withstand two or three attacks that tore through space. Moreover, the Sky-Splitting Roc possessed the bloodline of an ancient demonic bird, and its greatest strength lay in speed. If the opponent had intended to pursue them, the two of them probably wouldn't have been able to escape so easily.

The next moment, a sudden burst of energy from afar seemed to answer Du Yun's question. In his perception, a second powerful aura, comparable to the Creation Realm, appeared in the central area of ​​the Tianyan Mountains and was fighting fiercely with the Rift Sky Roc. It was precisely because of this formidable enemy that the Rift Sky Roc was held back and had no time to pursue the two ants.

"roar!"

A beastly roar, like that of a demon god, echoed from afar. It was neither ape nor ape, and its roar seemed to carry an ancient majesty, like the cry of a dragon.

"That's... an ancient dragon ape?"

Man Shan stared in astonishment. The ancient dragon ape, which was not only dominating the Great Wilderness County, had actually traveled thousands of miles to this Tianyan Mountain Range and even fought a fierce battle with the ruler of this place, the Sky-Splitting Roc.

What could possibly warrant such a massive mobilization from a being at the Creation Realm?

"Could the news of the treasure's appearance be true?"

Du Yun and Man Shan exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes. But now they were powerless to get involved. The aftershocks of a battle between people at the Creation Realm level could kill them, so how could they intervene?

For now, the most important thing is to save our lives.

"Go and join the sect disciples; we can't stay in the Tianyan Mountains any longer."
