"This..."
Ye Tian was so shocked that he couldn't speak. To be honest, various monstrous images had appeared in his mind, such as evil dragons, giant pythons, giant lizards, and mysterious tortoises.
These were all creatures with extremely strong vitality, and their long breaths matched their characteristics. However, no matter how much he thought about it, he never expected that the mysterious creature below was actually a frog...
Of course, calling it a frog might not be entirely accurate, but whatever that thing was, it definitely belonged to the frog family.
Ribbit!
The monster began to croak again, shaking Ye Tian's head until he felt dizzy. Due to the proximity and the sound being louder than thunder, Ye Tian was directly shaken off balance and completely lost control.
He didn't know how much time had passed, but when Ye Tian finally regained consciousness, he had safely landed.
"Uh..." Ye Tian rubbed his temples vigorously. If it weren't for his extraordinary physique, that deafening croak from the frog would have likely killed him.
"Is this safe now?"
Looking around in surprise, his last thought before losing consciousness was that a gigantic tongue had wrapped around him and pulled him into the "frog's" belly, where he would be dissolved in a pool of mucus and eventually turned into a puddle of black water.
However, this situation clearly did not occur. When he looked up, he could still see the twinkling cold stars in the night sky and the unusually bright moon tonight.
"Where is this..."
Ye Tian felt somewhat dazed. There was no longer any mist swirling around him, and the giant frog had not croaked for a long time. The ground beneath him was made of black soil—soft and loose—though it had a rather unique geological feature with many small mounds evenly distributed throughout.
As far as he could see, this type of terrain seemed endless.
"What is going on?" Ye Tian thought his head must have been damaged from the fall, so he rubbed his temples again in an effort to wake himself up.
His ears, which had been buzzing from the shock, had returned to normal, and the pain in his head had subsided. Now, he could be considered as normal as possible.
However, the scene before him remained unchanged. The black, viscous ground stretched endlessly, and every ten steps or so, a black mound about a person's height would rise up, regular and dense.
All of this left Ye Tian feeling as if he were floating in the clouds, completely unsure of what to do next.
"Should I consider myself lucky or unlucky..." Ye Tian said in frustration. After walking two or three miles in each of the four directions—north, south, east, and west—he still saw no change in his surroundings.
If he were to say he was lucky, it was because he had not fallen into the belly of a giant frog. But being trapped in such a strange place was a clear indication of his bad luck.
"Sigh!" Ye Tian exhaled in frustration and struck one of the black mounds beside him.
To his surprise, the black mound completely absorbed his attack, emitting only a faint sound.
"What on earth is this..." Ye Tian wondered in disbelief. The sensation he felt was completely unlike hitting soil; he distinctly sensed that beneath the thin layer of gray dirt, something fleshy seemed to be hidden!
"Right! What happened to my fully charged Bagua Thunder Seal?" Ye Tian suddenly recalled. The Bagua Thunder Seal was powerful enough to be at Earth Level Five; how could it just vanish without a trace...
In an instant, Ye Tian came up with a terrifying hypothesis.
Combining this with the earlier punch that had seemingly vanished into thin air, he realized that this black ground seemed capable of dissipating force, easily nullifying all attacks.
With this thought in mind, Ye Tian decided to test it once more.
This time, he unleashed Stormy Winds and Thunder. He leaped into the air several feet high and then plummeted down like a meteor.
During his descent, clouds surged around his arms, interspersed with flashes of Lightning Flash. However, the momentum did not seem extraordinary.
Stormy Winds and Thunder is a martial art that combines close combat techniques, emphasizing a hard-hitting approach against opponents. The effectiveness of Stormy Winds and Thunder increases with the practitioner's physical strength; the stronger the body, the greater the power it can unleash.
Ye Tian, possessing Crimson Dragon Golden Blood and Jujutsu, has a physical strength that rivals that of a Martial Unity Expert, and even surpasses some of them.
Thus, when Stormy Winds and Thunder is executed by him, its impact is undoubtedly more pronounced.
However, due to the limitations of this close-combat martial art, there is no particularly intimidating aura or momentum when it is activated.
The sound of air evaporating can be faintly heard, but only Ye Tian can perceive it.
At this moment, he is eager to test the power of Stormy Winds and Thunder, as everything about it aligns with his expectations, except for the uncertainty regarding its strength. It is essentially an evolved version of Thunder Palm.
Finally, a punch infused with Stormy Winds and Thunder strikes the black ground, but…
There is only a soft sound, barely louder than a whisper.
Ye Tian is completely stunned. In fact, he had already sensed the overwhelming combat power when he initiated Stormy Winds and Thunder. It could be said that the force of that punch was certainly not weaker than a slightly concentrated Bagua Thunder Seal.
Yet, despite such power, it produced a sound no louder than a fart?
Ye Tian feels disheartened and prepares to try again. This time, he will combine Crimson Dragon Golden Light Battle Body with his spiritual energy to enhance Stormy Winds and Thunder.
The so-called Golden Light Battle Body refers to the golden light that flows around him after further activating his Crimson Dragon Golden Blood. Due to its ability to both attack and defend while significantly enhancing physical strength—similar in nature to many forms of Martial Arts of the Battle Body—it has been dubbed by Ye Tian as the Golden Light Battle Body.
With the activation of the Golden Light Battle Body, along with his Spirit Pouch filled with spiritual energy, it can be said that this time, the power of Stormy Winds and Thunder is comparable to a fully realized Bagua Thunder Seal!
Even more so!
If this strike cannot break through the black soil, Ye Tian would be on the verge of collapse.
Boom!
Another clear sound rang out, though it was slightly louder than the previous one...
Ye Tian was dumbfounded, frozen in place.
The perfected Bagua Thunder Seal hitting the Blood Leech King could still elicit a roar, yet in this mysterious place, not even a whisper remained.
Suddenly, the air currents around began to become chaotic, and moments later surged upward. Ye Tian lost his balance and was unexpectedly swept up into the sky.
However, shortly after rising, he felt the air currents stabilize significantly, and then he began to fall back down.
"Could that monster be breathing again?" Ye Tian thought to himself; he was likely on the back of the monster!
Using the moonlight, he discerned the direction of the cliff and rushed forward rapidly.
After about a stick of incense's worth of time, he finally saw the cliff, but upon seeing it, he couldn't help but gasp in shock!
Ahead, amidst the mist, a figure faintly appeared!
"That is!" Ye Tian felt a surge of blood rush up, his mind spinning with dizziness.
Because that figure was something he could never forget in his life—exquisite and unparalleled. Though only six feet tall, it seemed to stand as high as heaven and earth.
It was none other than the Master of Yunhai Sect, Cloudscar!
"Once again, we meet."
A faint voice from ahead belonged to Cloudscar, clear yet resonating with a feeling as if it could pierce gold and split stone.
Ye Tian was stunned, taking a long time to regain his composure. He said, "Ye Tian, disciple of Cloudscroll Pavilion, pays respects to the Sect Master."
"Oh? It's you?" Cloudscar was enveloped in a layer of mist, his face obscured in the ethereal haze, yet his unique aura was clearly conveyed.
It was this very aura that led Ye Tian to conclude that this person was indeed Master of Yunhai Sect, Cloudscar.
At this moment, hearing Cloudscar's words left Ye Tian in shock. The esteemed Master of Yunhai Sect, a peak existence tens of thousands of miles away in the Square Area, actually recognized him?
"The Sect Master knows me?" Ye Tian asked in astonishment.
"Hehe, I've heard a bit about you," Cloudscar stepped out from the mist and approached Ye Tian.
At this moment, he wore a smile, lacking any condescending demeanor typical of someone in a superior position, yet he instilled an involuntary sense of reverence that made one want to look up to him.
"Could it be about the Qiu Family's Twin Young Masters?" Ye Tian muttered to himself. For Cloudscar to remember his name was likely a great honor for everyone in Divine Wood County associated with Cloud Sea Sect.
Thus, Ye Tian couldn't help but ask, "May I know what the Sect Master has heard about me?"
To be honest, asking this felt somewhat self-serving, but Ye Tian was genuinely curious and could not suppress his inquisitiveness.
Cloudscar's expression remained unchanged; he simply chuckled lightly and said, "You handled the matter regarding the Qiu Family's Twin Young Masters very well; it brought great joy. The removal of Huanggang Ridge was indeed the work of a young hero. You truly are a standout among the younger generation of Cloud Sea Sect."
Ye Tian was taken aback. He hadn't expected Cloudscar to know so much about his affairs. However, before he could fully process this revelation, Cloudscar's next words left him even more shocked.
"As for your secret, I can only offer you one piece of advice: be cautious. If that formidable power fully awakens, not even I may be able to control it."
After speaking, Cloudscar patted Ye Tian's shoulder, and once again, he was enveloped by mist.
At this moment, Ye Tian's heart was churning with turbulent waves; what Cloudscar pointed out was unmistakable—Crimson Dragon Golden Blood!
"How did he know..."
"Right, Stormy Winds and Thunder requires alignment with one's intent to unleash its maximum power."
A faint voice echoed from the sky, and judging by the sound, Cloudscar was already a thousand feet away.
"Alignment with one's intent..." Ye Tian furrowed his brow slightly. Cloudscar's powers were extraordinary; if he could comprehend what was said, it would undoubtedly be of immense help to Ye Tian.
"Thank you, Sect Master, for your guidance."
"I almost forgot, you are standing on our Cloud Sea Sect's Guardian Beast of the Sect. Do not show it disrespect; quickly get down from its back."
"Huh?"
"Kid, cultivate well. In the future, there will be a place for you in Cloud Sea Sect."
These words were quite ethereal. After saying this, Cloudscar completely fell silent.
