Fan Wubing cautiously moved forward.

The crimson-golden light illuminated the darkness. Only the light was visible, not its source.

"No... this crimson-golden light emanates from some kind of aura permeating the environment."

Using the Unwarranted Qi Creation Skill, Fan Wubing accurately captured this detail. After passing through a straight and wide corridor constructed of some incredibly hard metallic mineral, resembling a grand tomb's passage, he saw a gigantic crater.

The shape of this crater resembled a meteorite crater, and it was very ancient, now covered with various oddly shaped, colorful plants.

Fan Wubing did not recklessly move forward but began to observe the environment.

He looked up and down, left and right... The entire crater exuded a bizarre sense of "disharmony." First of all, it could be confirmed that from its shape, it must have been formed by some powerful object crashing to the ground.

But why is this crater underground instead of being exposed?

Even after many years, even with geological movements covering it, such a subterranean impact crater shouldn't form. The key is... above the crater is a mountain. Although the mountain isn't large, it is still a mountain after all. Instead of showing the tendency to collapse, it seems unusually stable.

Could it be that some kind of energy in the environment is supporting the structure of this underground crater?

If that's truly the case... Fan Wubing imagined the scenario. A powerful force fell here long ago, creating a crater, and after years of geological movement, a mountain gradually formed here. And the mountain just happened to form a supporting balance with the crater under the residual power.

Thus, such a bizarre environment was constructed.

Fan Wubing couldn't be sure if his speculation was correct. He was extremely cautious, moving forward carefully.

Just as he reached the outer edge of the crater, suddenly a giant worm-like demon beast emerged from underground. Its head had no eyes, ears, or nose, only a huge mouth, with teeth arranged in a spiral. It lunged fiercely at Fan Wubing.

Fan Wubing hurriedly executed a Dragon Walk to evade. The tumbling dragon shadow surfaced between him and the doppelganger, then he unleashed all the blood energy of his doppelganger, detonating it as it entered the demon beast's vortex mouth.

Boom!

A huge explosion sounded, but the instant the sound emerged, it was immediately covered by some kind of power, as if there were densely distributed sound-absorbing materials in the space here.

The shattered remains of the demon beast continued to writhe on the ground.

Fan Wubing carefully observed, confirming it was an Earthworm Demon Beast? He was quite amazed because he had never heard of an earthworm transforming into a demon. Such a simple life structure species are nearly impossible to achieve "qualitative change from quantitative change," so even in places abundant with immortal energy, they can only grow larger, not transform into demons.

An earthworm transforming into a demon can only indicate... this environment is exceedingly special!

Fan Wubing was even more excited. He was about to absorb the life force of the Earthworm Demon Beast. Suddenly, the writhing remains on the ground accelerated, and new bodies rapidly grew from the broken ends! A single earthworm that he had detonated had been blown to pieces, yet now, each fragment turned into a new Earthworm Demon Beast!

This...

He knew that when an earthworm is cut, it can regenerate. But that usually meant being cut in half. But this had been blasted into pieces! Can fragments also "regenerate severely damaged limbs"?

He was thrilled,

There truly is a power of resurrection here!

A whole Earthworm Demon Beast was not much of a threat, let alone these fragment-born transformations. Fan Wubing attacked again with a Dragon Walk, enveloping all the fragment-transformed earthworms, then detonated them once more. This time, he accurately scattered each thread of blood qi with the air burst, blasting them directly into dust, then digesting and absorbing them without giving them the chance to reincarnate.

The "Tongue Desire" quickly digested the "life of the Earthworm Demon Beast."

Fan Wubing immediately felt it.

Indeed, as he thought, this earthworm was transformed by some power within the crater. That power is difficult for Fan Wubing to describe, in short... particularly advanced, at least, it's absolutely impossible to conjure such power within the Nascent Soul realm.

He couldn't help but be curious, how was this Fan Family Forbidden Land formed?

On the way here, he asked Fan Qi, but Fan Qi didn't know either, only that the Fan Family has to guard this forbidden land.

Maybe, he should ask that locust tree.

He followed a less steep slope, slowly advancing from the crater's edge towards its center.

Everything here gave him the most immediate impression of being big!

Surprisingly big! And they all exhibit typical features of "subterranean creatures," unaffected by sunlight, isolated from the world. If they are animals, they basically lack eyes and ears, usually are arthropods, invertebrates, mollusks... bluntly put, they're mostly insects, and at most some blind snakes.

For such life forms with relatively simple structures, even in the open, even in places abundant with immortal energy, and with enlightened masters preaching, they're extremely difficult to spiritualize and transform into demons. But here, not only have they transformed into demons, they almost all possess the mastery of "resurrection."

All along the way, Fan Wubing encountered many demon beasts.

Their combat methods are generally lacking, yet their vitality is exceedingly abundant, all possessing the skill of regenerating severed limbs, characterized by thick skin and resistance to beatings.

This type of enemy is indeed difficult for martial cultivators like Fan Qi to handle.
