Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

Mang Tianchi quietly retreated to the side, secretly observing the battle.

Once they decide the winner, I'll adapt to the situation and either try to steal the raw stone or continue my escape.

That's how adventures are; you'll always encounter formidable opponents. In such situations, you can either leave decisively or stay cautiously.

Taking risks is a normal part of getting something valuable.

Mang Tianchi has experienced far too many things like this on his journey of exploration to this day.

Time passed bit by bit.

Mang Tianchi's gaze remained fixed on the raw stone hovering high in the sky.

He said he didn't care, but the ancient aura in the raw stone still filled him with curiosity, especially when he saw the two enormous forces approaching the peak of the battle, his desire quietly rose.

At the moment the two enormous monsters collided, it seemed as if the heavens and earth were shaken by their power.

As the battle fluctuations grew stronger, Mang Tianchi could sense an aura approaching that of a Dou Sheng (Battle Saint). It was a kind of oppressive power that caused the surrounding air to lose its balance, and the light seemed to be stretched into ripples.

With each collision between the giant and the shadowy figure, the ground trembled so violently it nearly cracked, sending massive plumes of dust billowing into the sky, obscuring the sun. The shadowy figure's sharp eyes swept across the surroundings like blades, and with each swing of its arm, a dark red light tore through the air like rifts. At the same time, the giant's enormous fist, carrying the force of the earth's tremors, slammed into the shadowy figure with a muffled thud, like thunder striking the ground.

Mang Tianchi gasped, secretly glad he had withdrawn from the battle early; if he had stayed inside, he probably would have been accidentally injured.

He knew that this battle was destined to last for a while, and that both the giant and the shadow were extremely strong in terms of stamina and endurance, and neither of them would fall easily.

"It seems we'll have to wait until the very end to find out who the final winner will be," Mang Tianchi mused to himself, his sharp eyes capturing every subtle change in the battle.

Soon after, the situation in the battle finally took a subtle turn.

The giant seemed to be losing strength; his movements grew increasingly sluggish, and his internal energy was clearly waning. The cold expression in his eyes was gradually replaced by weariness. The shadowy figure, though still ferocious, also appeared somewhat exhausted, each punch less powerful and faster than before.

"The opportunity has come."

A sharp glint flashed in Mang Tianchi's eyes.

He slightly adjusted his position, and lightning faintly gathered around him, arcs of electricity cutting through the air, concealing his presence.

At this moment, he was ready to take advantage of the situation and was waiting for the right opportunity.

However, just as Mang Tianchi was about to make his move, a strange and powerful aura suddenly swept in from afar, startling him.

Han Feng arrived on lightning, and the moment his figure appeared, a terrifying aura enveloped the entire area, causing the heavens and earth to sink.

His gaze fell on the mysterious raw stone high in the sky, and a strange light appeared in his eyes.

"Such a rich ancient aura..."

Han Feng stepped forward slowly, each step triggering thunderous shockwaves and distorting the void.

Not far away, the giant and the shadowy figure also noticed his presence, stopped fighting, and looked over at him, their eyes filled with coldness and hostility.

Han Feng glanced at them, his expression calm and fearless.

"If you want to take it, then go ahead and do it."

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and reached for the raw stone high in the sky.

In an instant, the world seemed to freeze, and then the wind and clouds changed color!

The giant roared and strode forward, its mountain-like feet shattering the earth; the shadow transformed into a streak of lightning, rushing straight for the raw stone!

however--

Han Feng simply raised his hand slowly, causing a slight tremor in mid-air.

boom!

The giant and the shadowy figure were struck as if by lightning, their bodies flying backward and crashing heavily to the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.

Mang Tianchi's lips twitched, and he seemed to freeze, his gaze fixed on the figure shrouded in lightning in mid-air.

"I... I didn't see wrong, did I?"

That familiar aura, so powerful it was almost alien, left him speechless for a moment.

After a long silence, he murmured:

"That's... Han Feng?!"

Chapter 458 The Theory of Ancestral Spirits

Mang Tianchi never expected that Han Feng would actually appear here.

This Earth God Abyss is extremely remote, and the area it is located in is difficult for ordinary people to find, let alone cross the world-class spatial barrier to reach the ancient world.

Could it be that he came looking for me?

Mang Tianchi suddenly remembered that he had given Han Feng a Thunder Bead for communication.

Although the Thunder Pearl probably can't be tracked to the Ancient World, it should be able to locate the Earth God Abyss.

Han Feng must have found his way here using this clue.

Otherwise, it would be too much of a coincidence for the two of them to appear here at the same time.

Mang Tianchi breathed a sigh of relief. He had long heard of Han Feng's prowess, and had seen him easily subdue the ancient clan's prodigy during the ancient clan's coming-of-age ceremony.

Looking at it now, he is indeed already above me.

On the ground, two giant figures trembled as they rose, looking at Han Feng with fear on their faces.

They had never seen such a powerful small species that could so easily defeat them.

You must understand that in this world, power represents everything. Even if a small dwarf can manipulate the laws of heaven and earth, he cannot shake the giant species that are as majestic as heaven and earth.

Although the land shapes its people, and this place is almost completely isolated from the Dou Qi Continent, there are always commonalities among the strong.

Han Feng's ability to dominate the Dou Qi Continent is not solely due to his Dou Qi.

"If you don't want to leave, then don't leave!"

Han Feng's gaze fell upon the strange black shadow, and a cold glint flashed within him.

Swish!

In just a split second, the giant black shadow was suppressed by a force of gravity and quickly fell to the ground.

The giant was not immune to the effects of gravity; he collapsed to his knees, causing the earth to tremble.

After restraining the two, Han Feng turned to look at Mang Tianchi.

"Dean, long time no see."

Haha, what brings you here?

Mang Tianchi let out a hearty laugh, lightly patted his slightly disheveled clothes, and walked out from behind the rock.

"We came looking for the dean, but we didn't expect that the dean would find such a place."

Han Feng said.

What's the background of this place?

"Hehe, the Primal Realm, ever heard of it?"

Mang Tianchi said with a smile.

"The Primal Realm?"

Han Feng frowned.

“I’ve never heard of it.”

"Yes, that's right, because I just chose this name."

Mang Tianchi said in a serious tone.

Han Feng: ......

"The dean is really humorous."

Mang Tianchi chuckled awkwardly twice before getting back to the main topic.

"I've only been here a short time, and I haven't quite figured out the local customs yet. These two giant monsters I encountered today are the first I've ever seen."

Mang Tianchi recounted his experiences over the past few days to Han Feng, including entering the mysterious land to retrieve the raw stone and then being chased by hordes of strange and unusual creatures.

"I haven't been sleeping well, and I haven't been eating well either!"

Mang Tianchi complained that the food here was terrible.

One of his great hobbies while traveling the world was tasting local delicacies, but the plants and magical beasts growing here had a taste that was simply indescribable.

Han Feng smiled.

"It seems the dean has acquired something extraordinary."

He took out the rough stone he had just acquired, and the stone emitted a faint golden glow under the sunlight.

Mang Tianchi's expression changed slightly when he saw the raw stone.

"This thing is a bit strange. I don't know why so many people in this space are chasing after it. I can sense that they don't want to return it, but rather to seize it and use it themselves."

The original stone was fine on the statue, but after I took it off, this mess happened.

Mang Tianchi shook his head, feeling somewhat uneasy.

If it's a mistake you made yourself, then it could bring disaster to a part of this world.

He walked around the raw stone, his eyes filled with apprehension, and whispered, "This thing... is definitely not an ordinary ore. I tried to probe it with my soul power, but I was shocked by a strange backlash and coughed up blood. It seems like there's something hidden inside."

Han Feng looked down at the raw stone in his palm, gently stroking it with his fingertips, his eyes serious.

"It's indeed not simple."

He murmured softly, a wisp of Southern Bright Fire gathering at his fingertips, slowly approaching the stone surface.

Under the intense heat of the flames, a pale golden ancient pattern emerged inside the raw stone—like an ancient seal pattern, faintly exuding a rich, ancient aura.

"Huh? This picture looks familiar. I think I've seen it in an indigenous community."

Mang Tianchi spoke.

"Oh? What does it mean by what's drawn on it?"

Han Feng looked at Mang Tianchi.

Mang Tianchi frowned and nodded: "I suspect that this may be some kind of... ancient sacred relic, or even a sacrificial product of some 'ancient emperor'."

A glint flashed in Han Feng's eyes.

Mang Tianchi guessed correctly. Han Feng had sensed the aura emanating from this place before, both on the Ancient Domain Platform and in the virtual ancient battlefield constructed by the Bodhi Ancient Tree.

This stone does indeed come from ancient times, from the era of the great war between emperors.

The fact that Mang Tianchi knew this shows that his knowledge was indeed extraordinary.

This is something that not everyone from an ordinary Dou Di family would necessarily know.

“I’ve seen this in an ancient book. This stone was probably a means used by ‘ancient races’ to seal away the remnants of their ancestors or the spirits of deities. In other words—”

"—Is there something alive inside?"

Mang Tianchi swallowed hard.

Han Feng nodded, his voice low: "It could be some kind of consciousness, or... an undying will."

The two exchanged a glance, and the same word simultaneously came to mind:

Taboo.

"But don't worry too much."

Han Feng put away the raw stone and laughed, "Even the will of the ancients can't make a ripple now."

Not everything is stronger the more ancient it is; many modern people also possess great abilities.

Mang Tianchi opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just patted Han Feng on the shoulder: "With your current strength, you really have the right to say that."

Han Feng smiled calmly, but his gaze fell on the two giant figures in the distance that were being suppressed by gravity. His tone then changed:

“These natives seem to be very sensitive to the raw stones; perhaps we can get some information out of them.”

Mang Tianchi raised an eyebrow: "You want to ask them?"

Why not give it a try?
