The Roar of the Beast

“This place is really mysterious…”

Feng Qing Yang’s expression turned solemn after he extended his Divine Consciousness and found that it was being absorbed. As expected of a place where even a World supreme powerhouse could get injured.

He learned from Xiao Mu Bai that Xiao Mu Bai’s father, who was a World supreme powerhouse, was injured here. He had yet to recover from his injuries when he had to face the once-in-10,000-year Heavenly Tribulation. For this reason, he was killed by the Heavenly Tribulation. If it were not for those injuries, he would have been able to survive at least two or three more Heavenly Tribulations.

After his passing, the God Defying World kept his death a secret, not wanting the other Worlds to know that the God Defying World no longer had the support of a World supreme powerhouse.

“I should explore the place…”

Since a World supreme powerhouse was injured here, Feng Qing Yang did not underestimate this place. In fact, he was extremely cautious despite his current strength.

Swoosh!

With a flash, Feng Qing Yang entered the land that was shrouded in mist with agile movements. In the next moment, his expression changed drastically. He could sense a terrifying energy surging toward him as soon as he passed through the mist.

Following that, a huge commotion rang in the air as more than a dozen distinct energies surged toward Feng Qing Yang. It sounded as though there were more than a dozen people attacking him at the same time.

Feng Qing Yang’s expression turned solemn, and he quickly regained his composure. His energy surged out along with his seventh-stage Sword Dao and the law of time at the paramount stage. Then, he released a sword ray to counter the attack that came from the dark mist.

Swoosh!

The fierce sword ray, which seemed to carry earth-shattering power, flew in the air, leaving spatial tears in its wake. The spatial tears did not mend immediately, briefly frozen by the law of time.

Roar!

From behind the mist, a ferocious roar rang in the air, causing Feng Qing Yang’s blood to surge in his body.

He was no longer an intermediate Supreme God after all. He was now among the strongest people in the world, a level-seven supreme powerhouse. However, just the roar of a beast was capable of making his blood surge. It was simply too unbelievable!

Even if dozens of beasts with the strength of World supreme powerhouses surrounded him and roared in his ears, they still would not be able to make his lifeblood surge.

‘Hmm?’

At this time, Feng Qing Yang discovered that his sword ray had been crushed to pieces after a brief moment of stalemate when it collided with the combined energies. He was thoroughly shocked.

Following that, Feng Qing Yang hurriedly retreated. His Divine Consciousness could sense great danger at this moment.

“This…”

Feng Qing Yang felt his heart skip a beat. When he finally left the mist-shrouded land, he saw the ground shaking before the mist dispersed briefly, revealing a translucent barrier that stopped the extremely terrifying energies.

Roar!

Feng Qing Yang could tell the roar was the same one as before. However, perhaps due to the barrier, it was muffled and did not carry the strength from before. When the roar rang in the air earlier, he also saw the blood-red energies crashing against the barrier, making it look as though the barrier was on the verge of breaking. After that, he saw runes similar to those on talismans, which emitted a soft white light, appearing on the barrier before the barrier suppressed the blood energies.

“This spatial barrier…”

Feng Qing Yang extended his Divine Consciousness again. He inhaled sharply when he discovered that his Divine Consciousness was absorbed before it even reached the barrier. With this, he also figured out that the mysterious barrier was what had absorbed his Divine Consciousness when he just arrived.

It was not surprising that Feng Qing Yang was shocked. He had seen spatial barriers before between the Myriad Worlds and the Outer Boundary, but they were as weak as paper. He could easily tear it apart and move freely between places.

Swoosh!

Feng Qing Yang attacked with all his might before the mist-shrouded the barrier again, aiming for the spatial barrier that blocked the blood energies. Unlike the other spatial barriers he had seen before, his attack failed to land.

‘As expected…’

He was not surprised that the barrier stopped his attack. After all, not only did it stop the blood energies, but it could also absorb his Divine Consciousness.

“What’s behind this mysterious spatial barrier?’

Feng Qing Yang was extremely curious.

At this time, the mist was slowly converging again. Before the spatial barrier disappeared behind the mist, he saw the terrifying blood energies retreating.

“How strange… I can easily enter and leave the barrier. I can attack freely and use my Divine Consciousness as usual. However, there’s nothing I can do when I’m outside the barrier… Moreover, what’s with that beast roar? What beast is it? Do the blood energies belong to the beast? Did it seriously injure Lord Xiao’s father in the past?”

Question after question appeared in Feng Qing Yang’s mind as he stared at the strange land shrouded in mist. Despite his curiosity, he had no plans of entering the place again for the time being. The place made him feel inexplicably uneasy.

…

To learn more about this place, Feng Qing Yang decided to look for Xiao Mu Bai as soon as he left. He wanted to know if anyone else had entered this place apart from his father.

After listening to Feng Qing Yang, Xiao Mu Bai said, “Yes. From what I know, two imminent World supreme powerhouses went there, but they were never seen again. Apart from that, I don’t know who else might have gone to that place before. In any case, that place has always been known as a death trap.”
