Chapter 1400: Death to Any Who Approach, One Hundred Li

The waning moon hung high, the night wind howling.

In the wilderness, stretching for tens of thousands of miles, not a trace of human habitation in sight, only endless mountain ranges and seemingly ceaseless terrifying beastly roars, giving a sense of extreme desolation.

This is the Red Blood Wilderness in the southwest of the Dali Dynasty, inhabited by countless demon beasts, one of the three most dangerous places in the Dali Dynasty. Countless martial artists have perished here, consumed by demon beasts, their bodies left to rot in the wild.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom…

A series of footsteps akin to thunder echoed through the mountains.

Soon, a Lava Mountain glowing dimly in the moonlight emerged from the shadows of the mountains, only showing a vague shadow of a figure beneath each rise and fall.

Luo Feng bore the Lava Mountain on his back, moving step by step southward, each step leaving a deep footprint, his breathing sounded like thunder, roaring from his chest, veins popping from beneath his skin, sweat flowing like a stream down his garments.

This mountain weighs over ten thousand tons; even for a True Yuan Realm martial artist, it is a terrifying burden. Yet Luo Feng not only bears this tremendous load but also endures the oppressive aura from the Falling Star Sky-Splitting Tiger.

This is akin to adding fuel to the fire, now he feels as if his feet are cast in molten iron, every step incredibly difficult.

“Boy, your breathing rhythm is starting to falter. In battle, any situation can arise. You must always keep yourself in peak condition, or you’ll give your enemies the opportunity to strike.”

The Tiger King sat atop the peak, leaning back against Juyan, drinking while speaking.

Luo Feng smiled bitterly, no wonder every member of the Wild tribe is terrifyingly strong. Such rigorous, even brutal training leaves only two outcomes: death or giving up, or persisting and becoming a master.

Luo Feng naturally did not want to die, nor would he give up, taking a deep breath, he tried to slow his breathing down, and his erratic steps immediately stabilized considerably.

At this moment, the Tiger King’s voice rang again, “An hour left until dawn, you’ve only covered less than Baili.”

“Got it!”

He must travel Baili south before dawn, Luo Feng gritted his teeth, took two big swigs of wine, and rushed forward with great strides.

At this time, he had to be grateful for the wine the Tiger King gave him, otherwise, reaching Baili would have been a mere fantasy.

Even so, under the immense pressure, he somewhat doubted whether he could travel Baili south before dawn, all he could do was try his utmost.

“Hmph, the brat boasts such arrogance, daring to claim ‘I’m better than them’, he needs to taste some hardship first.”

Atop the mountain peak, the Tiger King muttered, a subtle smile on his lips.

He deliberately increases Luo Feng’s training difficulty for two reasons: first, Luo Feng’s comprehension is too strong, the original difficulty can’t achieve the desired training effect; second, he wants to dampen Luo Feng’s confidence, to remind him there are always stronger people and greater heavens, lest he provoke strong enemies outside and suffer.

The Red Blood Wilderness is one of the three most dangerous places in the Dali Dynasty, attracting many adventuring martial artists, young talents training here, adventure groups specializing in hunting demon beasts, and ruffians living off murder and robbery…

In the mountains, several rtiad martial artists gathered around a flickering campfire, drinking.

Suddenly, the ground began to tremble as if a minor earthquake occurred, a grand, earth-shattering sound rapidly approached from afar.

“What the heck!”

The four martial artists were startled, immediately drawing their blades, jumping up from the ground, gazing towards the direction of the sound.

The Red Blood Wilderness is inhabited by many powerful demon beasts, even they, all above the fifth level of the True Yuan Realm, dare not take it lightly.

Soon, a red mountain shadow appeared within the four’s sight.

“Am I seeing things!”

One widened his eyes, then rubbed them emphatically, “The mountain is actually running on its own!”

“You’re not seeing things, because I see it too.” Another blurted out.

“Not sensing any demon qi, let’s take a look; if some celestial treasure emerged, it’d be a shame to miss it.” One said eagerly.

“Makes sense, no time to lose, let’s go!”

The four made a decision, immediately displaying their Qinggong, trying to get closer and investigate, but as soon as they stepped forward, a cold, merciless voice exploded in their ears.

“Approach and die!”

Buzz!

In an instant, all four halted, cold sweat streaming from their foreheads, their wide eyes filled with terror.

The moment the voice appeared, the latent power within made their souls slightly tremble, as if eyes from the void locked onto them, one mishap would lead to being devoured.

Gulp!

One subconsciously swallowed hard, his voice trembling, “I… I think we better not go.”

“Yes, I agree.” Another nodded, pale-faced.

The four gazed at each other.

The next moment.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Four figures simultaneously darted out, pushing their Qinggong to the limit, fleeing like mad in the opposite direction of the fiery red mountain.

No joke, a presence whose mere voice could suppress their souls definitely surpassed the True Yuan realm, likely capable of crushing them with a finger.

“Hmph, living in peace for too long, now these rtiad martial artists lack even basic awe and respect for the strong. They’re curious about everything.” The Tiger King watched the four martial artists retreating, shaking his head slightly.

Upon hearing this, the Falling Star Sky-Splitting Tiger rolled its eyes.

“You’re saying I’m the same as them?”

The Tiger King was enraged, with a boom, his muscles swelled suddenly, red aura flowed on the surface of his skin, he roared, “Disrespectful! Juyan, seems I haven’t taught you a lesson in too long, your courage has grown!”

Roar!

The Falling Star Sky-Splitting Tiger also let out a low growl, scorching flames and demon qi converged on its body, rising into a wave of fire several feet high in the void, its aura clashing with the Tiger King.

Crack!

Man and beast faced off, yet the one suffering was Luo Feng, the suddenly increased immense pressure caused his body to stagger, the ground beneath him cracked instantly, nearly crumbling under the entire mountain.

“Seniors, you can fight, but could you change the location?” Luo Feng took a deep breath and said.

The Tiger King was stunned, then remembered Luo Feng’s training, immediately restrained his aura, and said earnestly:

“Boy, any situation can occur during combat, this is also part of the training.”

The Falling Star Sky-Splitting Tiger glanced disdainfully at the Tiger King, then lay on a huge rock.

The Tiger King knew his fault, coughed twice, and sat down cross-legged nearby.

Time flew by.

As the first ray of morning sunshine descended.

With a rumble, the entire Lava Mountain suddenly sank, causing the ground to shake.

The Tiger King opened his eyes, frowned and asked, “Why did it stop suddenly?”

Luo Feng lay on the nearby grass, panting heavily, yet his face held a smile.

“I’ve already walked Baili, before dawn!”
