As for Ke Ding, he had run off long ago...
He knew nothing about the sprawling earth veins, so he continued exploring and drawing maps, marking the strange mineral veins scattered throughout.
Today.
Rumble!
A great many roars and furious howls erupted from beyond the mountain range, shaking the vast wilderness. Ji Zhao was the first to break through the shackles of the Divine Mountain's pressure. His body seemed to have been tempered by a thousand hammers and refined through a hundred trials, radiating a terrifyingly powerful brilliance.
Crack, crack—
Ji Zhao's black hair danced wildly like dragons and serpents, emitting dazzling divine radiance. Divine light surged from his eyes like pillars, shooting straight into the smoke-filled sky as though to penetrate the heavens!
His advancing strides resembled those of an Ancient Ferocious Beast from the Desolate Heaven Domain. With each step, it seemed as if Physical Shackles were breaking within his body.
Crack! Crack!
As Ji Zhao moved forward, explosive sounds rang out from within him. They were the sounds of Physical Shackles continuously collapsing, deafening to the ear. Every time one shackle broke, Ji Zhao's aura surged another degree.
Dazzling silver light rippled across his skin, as if it had been plated with a layer of eternal, Undying silver-gray. His muscles were carved as though by blade and axe, rainbow light flickering through their movements. Every inch contained the power to split mountains and shatter stones.
Every pore on Ji Zhao's body devoured the Heaven and Earth Essence spilling from the Heavenly Foundation Stone. A faint, indistinct halo of Dao Resonance enveloped him!
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
His bones resonated. At this moment, even his skeleton seemed to have turned into peerless divine material. One could vaguely see starry rivers and celestial bodies from beyond the Divine Mountain Continent
