Boom—

Dragon Mountain erupted with a loud explosion, once again blocking Ji Jue's path.

A deep gash suddenly appeared across its enormous body, nearly cutting the entire Dragon Mountain in half...

This time, Fernan had chosen to go all out.

In his hand, an utterly ordinary short stick appeared for an instant.

Immediately afterward, the crack upon Dragon Mountain rapidly spread—one became two, two became four, four became eight... Like a chain reaction, the mountain was covered in a web of fractures in an instant!

[Heavenly Craft: One Foot Hammer]

Ancient texts once mentioned such a paradox: if a one-foot wooden stick were cut in half every day, then even after a thousand, ten thousand years, it would never be entirely exhausted...

It was a conflict between theory and reality, a paradox formed when the infinite divisibility of matter manifested in the real world.

Thus, in this infinitely divisible world, a flying arrow could remain suspended in mid-air forever, while the running Achilles could never catch a turtle standing still.

Countless paradoxes converged into one, using the principle of Superior Virtue to provoke a conflict in reality and naturally divide every target apart.

As long as it was locked on, it would be divided downward without limit.

Until it could no longer be divided.

Immovable as a Mountain's guidance was utterly useless. There was no evading the severing strike that acted upon one's essence, yet Fernan felt as though his full-force blow had struck a mountain!

Even a mountain should have been divided into countless particles of dust!

Yet the vast amount of material properties contained within Juque, the countless sources of nourishment devoured by Dragon Blood—how could they amount to merely one mountain? And with the control of Three-Phase Alchemy and Non-Aggression, how could they fail to repair it
