In the blink of an eye, accompanied by a roaring sound, countless ice shards exploded into the air!
In the next mont, a creature whose lower body had completely transford into a beast while the upper body still resembled a human, exuding terrifying death qi, burst out from the crevice.
Its scarlet eyes turned blankly, then fixed on Fanming, who was swiftly flying away in the distance.
A thread of suspicious voice ca from within its body:
"A divine beast at the early stage of the Seventh Tier..."
"He’s heading towards the ’Red Sky Palace’... Could he be from the Red Sky Palace?"
"But I’ve never heard of the Red Sky Palace having such a divine beast... or is it just a coincidence?"
"A divine beast at the early stage of the Seventh Tier... If refined with one of the three Divine Corpses, naly the Corpse-folding, it might not reach its peak, but it has the potential to achieve Dacheng..."
"Let’s check it out!"
After a slight hesitation, the presence within the creature’s body made a decision.
The lower body’s four hooves, dry as tree roots, gently tread through the void.
Although appearing sowhat stiff, its speed was not much slower than Fanming.
"So fast!"
Wang Ba, urging the Wind-Driving Staff to assist Fanming in flying at full speed, felt the pursuing figure from afar, his expression solemn.
He could not afford to conserve mana, pushing the Wind-Driving Staff to its peak, while trying to shake off the pursuing creature by taking advantage of the ruins’ terrain.
However, what made Wang Ba frown was that despite the increasing distance between them, the intermittent glimrs in the surrounding ruins continued to reveal his position.
Allowing the creature to pursue without a hitch, the distance was not just maintained, but so reduction was glimpsed.
"What kind of corpse is this? Its speed rivals Fanming’s... It must be a presence at the Unification Level."
Realizing this, a slight chill crept over Wang Ba’s heart.
In the Realm Sea, hidden talents abound, so encountering a formidable opponent wasn’t unexpected. However, he hadn’t expected to encounter an Unification Level master right after eting a living person, and an enemy at that.
But the question is, what rank or position does this enemy hold within the Hundred Ghost Mountain?
Middle stage?
Upper stage?
Surely, it can’t be lower stage.
If it’s at the middle stage, then there’s no need to consider further—distance from this place, the farther, the better.
If it’s at the upper stage, then how many more beings like this creature exist in the Hundred Ghost Mountain?
These thoughts swiftly crossed his mind.
anwhile, he quickly contemplated counterasures in his heart.
The opponent’s exact strength was unclear, suspected to be at the Unification Realm, but which stage precisely was uncertain.
If it’s comparable to a Class V Dao Domain, returning now to battle the opponent might actually be a viable way out.
If it’s comparable to a Class VI Dao Domain, then he could directly return to Little Cang World and request Yu Wuheng or Master Yao Wudi to intervene, which should suffice to eliminate the opponent.
If it’s comparable to a Seventh-Order Dao Domain...
"Then this is troubleso!"
Wang Ba couldn’t help recalling the previous battle between Yu Wuheng and the Six-fingered Divine Demon.
If the opponent possesses similar abilities... perhaps only by leveraging the ’Non-Attack Plan’ of the Little Cang World can they intimidate the opponent.
But the premise is... the opponent is alone.
"No... I can’t expose the location of the Little Cang World!"
Resolute, Wang Ba promptly made a decision.
And once this decision was made, his options were limited.
"Find an area without ruins, fly straight, and I can shake them off!"
With this thought, he imdiately focused, deploying the Technique of Truthful Listening while eliminating the investigative magic devices around him as soon as they ca into view.
While using his Spiritual Sense and gaze to search for open areas beyond the ruins.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Before the investigative magic devices in the surrounding ruins could light up, Wang Ba raised his hand and shattered them.
It went like this all the way.
A slightly puzzled voice sounded from within the creature pursuing from behind:
"He’s already far away, what use is there in destroying them?"
Yet his doubt ultimately found no response.
In his confusion, he still chased after him.
After all, once they catch up, these investigative magic devices can be redeployed by others.
The two engaged in a chase, initially far apart, but as ti passed, the distance between them gradually decreased.
Finally, in another relatively dense area of ruins, impeded by the dense rubble and various obstacles ahead, Fanming’s speed rapidly declined.
The creature quickly caught up, a cold voice emanating from within its body:
"Which cultivator are you? Dare to venture into the territory governed by my Hundred Ghost Mountain. I see the divine beast beneath you isn’t lacking in power, suggesting a not-too-poor origin. State your na, and I might spare your life!"
On Fanming’s head, Wang Ba heard this, his gaze tightened, looking distantly at the creature rapidly closing in.
This creature had a human upper body, but upon closer inspection, it was covered in yellowish-striped tiger fur.
The lower body resembled a deer or an ox, yet it had no luster, the fur blackened and exuding a dense death qi.
Its body was like a grand mountain, magnificent and imposing.
However, compared to Fanming, it appeared minuscule.
Wang Ba dared not underestimate it in the slightest, quickly pondering the implications behind the creature’s words.
"Could the dwarf I killed earlier be his descendant? Yet, facing a blood relative’s enmity, instead of seeking revenge first, he’s questioning the origin... This suggests that the Hundred Ghost Mountain likely has enemies nearby or that there are forces of a higher level than the Hundred Ghost Mountain around; otherwise, he wouldn’t be so cautious."
No further explanation is needed; all the restraint and deliberation are simply because one’s own strength is not yet sufficient to be arrogant.
This is a universally applicable truth.
Even in the Realm Sea, as long as people exist, it probably wouldn’t be any different.
