Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

As soon as the fire appeared, the faint whispers around them seemed to be disturbed, and they all disappeared in an instant.

The Nine Netherworld Flame is an extremely Yin fire, capable of wielding dominion even in the endless netherworld.

The place where the Nine Nether Wind Flame was born is similar to this place. When the flame was still immature, it could still summon wind and rain, causing the Black Corner Region to be ravaged by black storms all year round. Now that the flame has matured, it can naturally dominate the Yin energy.

Rings of black flame spread out from Han Feng's body like wind marks, forcing back the unknown power in the Earth God Abyss.

Boom——

Just as Han Feng was pondering, a muffled sound suddenly came from the rock layer beneath his feet, and an almost tangible tremor suddenly came from the bottom of the abyss, causing him to pause slightly.

"Earth vein fluctuations?"

Han Feng's body suddenly sank, and the space beneath his feet seemed to collapse by an inch in an instant, with gravity increasing dramatically, as if he had been pressed into a giant sand prison.

At this moment, he could still break free from the overwhelming force at any time, but faced with this situation, Han Feng became somewhat curious.

The next moment, Han Feng slowly raised his hand, and a dark yellow flame quietly ignited from his palm. The light was deep and ancient, as if it carried the aura of the beginning of heaven and earth.

"Mysterious Yellow Flame!"

He gave a soft shout, and Xuanhuang Flame surged from his palm, transforming into streaks of fire that spread along the rock strata beneath his feet, as if awakening the dormant laws of the earth's veins.

"town!"

With that deep incantation, the violent gravity underground suddenly stopped, as if suppressed by the authority of a supreme treasure, and the intense fluctuations quickly subsided under the guidance of the Xuanhuang Flame.

The previously collapsed space expanded again, and the rock layers beneath our feet shimmered with vein-like light, as if responding to the call of the flames.

Han Feng narrowed his eyes and murmured, "There really is something resonating within these earth veins..."

The Xuanhuang Flame in his hand was still burning. He walked slowly forward, and the surrounding rock walls gradually became flat and thick, vaguely revealing traces of artificial carving.

Finally, a strange spatial fluctuation came from behind a crack in the rock ahead.

Han Feng reached out and flicked his wrist, the flames like knives tearing through the thin veil-like spatial barrier. The next moment, an ancient and desolate aura rushed towards him.

An archway made of earth and stone stands quietly behind the crack, covered with weathered runes that seem to have endured millions of years of weathering, yet still exudes an inexplicable sense of pressure.

Behind the archway lies a long, winding, tan-colored corridor leading into the unknown, as if it holds the deepest secrets of the earth's heart.

Han Feng exhaled lightly, and the Xuanhuang Flame slowly circulated around his body, suppressing the faint aura of rejection around him.

"It seems... the real entrance is right here."

He stepped inside, his figure swallowed by the yellow light, disappearing into the darkness of the underground secret realm.

Chapter 457 Mysterious Raw Stone

Passing through that dark space, what comes into view is a vast and boundless world full of primal energy.

Han Feng was slightly taken aback. He looked around and couldn't help but mutter to himself, "As expected of Dean Mang... he can even find a place like this."

He considered himself to be well-traveled, having explored all the major and minor secret realms on the Dou Qi Continent, but compared to Mang Tianchi, who regarded "adventure" as a faith, he was still slightly inferior.

From the magma world beneath Canaan Academy to this independent space hidden beneath the abyss... Mang Tianchi has discovered quite a few wondrous places.

With his senses already severed, Han Feng could only rely on his own tracking abilities to find Mang Tianchi's trail. He stomped his feet, lightning burst forth, and the laws of lightning, like tentacles, sensed the lightning attribute fluctuations of the surrounding world. His figure vanished from the spot in an instant.

----------

Meanwhile, on this primeval land full of mounds and barren rocks, Mang Tianchi was traversing rapidly, looking rather disheveled.

Behind him, a group of short, feathered, yellowish-skinned primitive dwarfs were chasing after him at an astonishing speed, emitting strange chuckles.

"Shh-!"

A long black iron spear pierced through the air, but Mangtian Ruler flashed with lightning and barely dodged it, leaving a scorch mark on the ground.

"I'm warning you! If you chase me again, I won't be so polite!" he roared back, but his voice was clearly weak.

The dwarfs seemed not to understand what he was saying at all. They stepped on the ground and accelerated again. The power of the laws surged wildly in the surrounding world, and black patterns appeared on the tips of their spears, as if they had resonated with the land itself.

"Are you kidding me...?"

Mang Tianchi gritted his teeth and cursed under his breath, then suddenly stopped, his eyes flashing with lightning.

"Alright then, don't blame me for being impolite."

He raised his hand and pointed in the air, the power of thunder surging at his fingertips like the roar of a dragon. With a single point, the entire world was instantly ablaze with lightning!

"Thunder Tribulation Finger!"

Boom!

Lightning streaked across the sky, and intense lightning swept across like a torrent, arcs of electricity flashing, and massive shockwaves distorting the surrounding air.

The dwarfs did not show much defensive power under the impact of the lightning. In just one exchange, the group of dwarfs were sent flying. Some of them were in more serious condition, with their arms and limbs blown to pieces. The remaining dwarfs were also shaken by the aftershocks of the lightning and fell to their knees, their faces pale and their mouths emitting painful roars.

Mang Tianchi snorted coldly.

"I'll teach you a lesson first!"

He had no intention of making enemies of the local inhabitants when he entered this place, but they relentlessly pursued him and used ruthless and bizarre methods. If it weren't for his own superior skills, he might have died here just now.

After making his move, Mang Tianchi did not stop. A lightning arc flashed beneath his feet as he turned and sped off into the distance.

As a newcomer, he was very curious about the unique laws of nature in this place. Those dwarfs from earlier didn't seem to have cultivated battle qi; they could control the power of heaven and earth to fight solely based on their physical talents.

Although this allows them to demonstrate a formidable attack method, their true form is pitifully weak. If I hadn't held back just now, the opponents would probably all be finished.

Mang Tianchi still showed some kindness, after all, he was an outsider and he didn't want to kill them all.

However, the next second, the ground in front of him suddenly began to tremble, and dozens of meters away, a huge rock crashed down, kicking up dust and gravel.

Mang Tianchi's heartbeat quickened slightly, his gaze sharpened, and he quickly stopped, intently observing what lay ahead.

The next instant, a massive aura emanated from afar, as if mountains were collapsing and the earth was splitting, making it suffocating.

Mang Tianchi opened his eyes wide and quickly gathered the surrounding lightning laws, preparing to deal with any possible attacks at any time.

However, he did not see any dwarfs.

In the distance, beneath the smoke and dust, a massive black shadow slowly rose.

That wasn't a dwarf, but a... giant.

This giant was a thousand meters tall, its massive size almost blotting out the sky. Standing in that barren land, it resembled a majestic mountain peak.

Its skin gleamed with a bronze sheen, its muscles were as tough as steel, and it wore a crown woven from the bones of wild beasts. A cold glint flashed in its eyes.

The giant stood there motionless, seemingly scrutinizing everything before him.

Its amber-like eyes stared straight at Mang Tianchi, making no attempt to conceal their intimidation and indifference.

"What...what kind of monster is this?"

Mang Tianchi frowned slightly, and alarm bells rang in his mind instantly.

He had just been mocking the dwarves here for their weak defenses, but unexpectedly, a big guy who looked like he was not to be trifled with appeared before him.

"I wish I hadn't taken this thing. I wonder if it's too late to put it back now."

Mang Tianchi felt a little regretful.

He had been exploring this world when he accidentally stumbled upon a settlement inhabited by indigenous people.

He noticed a stone statue in the settlement that exuded a strong ancient aura, and out of curiosity, he took a piece of the raw stone from the statue's hand.

At first, no one chased after him when he took it, but after he left the settlement, all sorts of monsters and demons came.

Mang Tianchi speculated that these strange creatures must want to steal the stone.

Thinking of this, Mang Tianchi's expression darkened slightly, and his fingers unconsciously caressed the heavy raw stone.

The raw stone is dark in color, with natural patterns and cracks covering its surface. However, in its center, a golden light pattern flickers slightly, as if some ancient life is slumbering within it.

"The baby is a wonderful baby, but I may not be able to enjoy it."

He muttered to himself.

The giant finally moved.

boom!

A giant foot suddenly stomped out, and the earth trembled instantly, as if the entire world had lost its balance at that moment.

Mang Tianchi suddenly retreated, lightning arcs surging beneath his feet, his figure shooting backward like a thunderbolt, barely avoiding the stomp.

But the giant's movements were surprisingly agile. Its massive body caught up again in a short time, and it raised its fists high, smashing them down on Mangtian Ruler like mountains.

"Well done!"

Mang Tianchi's eyes turned cold, and lightning gathered in his hands again as he thrust out with both palms simultaneously.

"Thunderous Force - Sky-Splitting!"

Boom——

A pillar of lightning, like a coiling dragon, erupted from his palm, meeting the descending giant fist head-on. The lightning collided with the bronze fist, unleashing a deafening roar, sending lightning flying, howling winds, and causing the entire wasteland to tremble.

The giant paused slightly, leaving a charred mark on its massive arm. However, without flinching, it raised its arm and swept it across again with immense strength and ferocious momentum!

Mang Tianchi frowned, his gaze grave.

"This thing... its defensive capabilities are ridiculously high!"

He cursed inwardly, flipped his hand to take out the rough stone, hesitated for a moment, then suddenly raised it high above his head and shouted loudly:

"I'm not your enemy! I'll just return this!"

The sound reverberated like thunder between heaven and earth. Sure enough, the giant paused, as if he had sensed something. He slowed his movements slightly, and his gaze refocused on the primordial stone high in the sky, his eyes flashing with a divine light.

Mang Tianchi was overjoyed and was about to slowly lower the raw stone in an attempt to buy time when suddenly—

"Roar--!!"

A low growl, seemingly from the depths of hell, suddenly erupted, but it didn't come from the giant before them; rather—

It suddenly came from the farthest horizon!

Mang Tianchi's expression changed drastically. He looked up and saw the clouds churning violently on the horizon. A dark shadow rose from the distance, its aura even more terrifying than that of the bronze giant—cold, ancient, and seemingly carrying some kind of ancient, unawakened curse!

"Are you kidding me? Has the gates of the underworld opened here? How can there be monsters like this?!"

Mang Tianchi quickly stuffed the raw stone back into his bosom, lightning flashed, and he retreated rapidly to the side.

The bronze giant slowly turned around, facing the dark figure directly, a look of solemnity appearing in his eyes.

Two ancient and wild auras collided fiercely between heaven and earth at this moment, as if even the sky was pressed down a little.

"This stone seems to be a source of trouble..."

Mang Tianchi gritted his teeth and glanced at the raw stone in his arms.

But he had to admit that the aura contained within this raw stone seemed to be the very ancient power he had been searching for...

"We can't just return it like this..."

There was a gleam of cruelty in his eyes.

"Since you're all vying for this thing, let me see who deserves to keep it!"

Lightning surged, and Mang Tianchi rose into the air, the laws of lightning converging wildly, causing thunder to rumble throughout the entire world—

"Since you're here, don't leave!"

He hissed.

"Thunder Strike - Nine Heavens Realm!!"

A lightning vortex powerful enough to tear the heavens and earth unfolded from his palm, rushing straight towards the giant and the black shadow coming from the sky...!

boom!

After a brief period of intense fighting, Mang Tianchi withdrew from the three-way contest.

"I'm not fighting anymore... I'm not fighting anymore..."

Mang Tianchi shook off his tattered clothes, glanced at the two monsters fighting again not far away, and a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

The energy fluctuations from the battle between these two mysterious monsters are almost approaching those of a Battle Saint.

"Whoever wants it can have it; I don't want it anymore."

At this moment, the raw stone had already been thrown out, hovering high in the sky, waiting for the final victor.
