Even with the protective layer he wore, Di Fuyi could still feel his skin burning. He was hurt, despite being well prepared. Gu Xijiu, on the other hand, was taken into the vortex wholly unprotected. How did she make it through? How was she right now?On the bright side, her Kung Fu was powerful, so she would not have suffered too much; knowing her abilities, she might have even ended up being a prestigious leader of the Shura World.
…
There were barren hills and unruly waters everywhere. The place was, indeed, very deserted. The mountains were dangerously high, with precipitous rocks and cliffs. At the top, only a few trees remained. The water in the valley did not come from a fresh and clean source. Instead, the entire river was black and pungent.
On the way to the high mountains and lofty ranges, rocks filled the path. He took a look at his seven-colored bracelet. At a fixed angle, he could probably use the bracelet to sense her presence.
Soon, a flash of red shone a path ahead. The bracelet pointed him to a hill. It looked rather ordinary, so it barely caught his attention at first glance. The only visible difference he could spot was the bigger sized rocks at the peak.
Di Fuyi was worried. Shen Jiuli had once told him that the bracelet represented his destiny. Yet, somehow it was connected to Gu Xijiu, for she was the one who gave him the bracelet. Di Fuyi had to use his spiritual power to activate the bracelet, so it could show him where she was. However, he had to be careful to apply the correct method to activate it.
It was his first time putting the bracelet to good use. Doubtfully, he was not sure if the pointed direction was correct, but at least there was a path for him to journey. Therefore, he decided to give the hill a go.
Along the journey, he quickly realized that there was a severe depletion of spiritual aura about the place. He then kicked a stone in his path and could tell that there was a difference in gravity. The gravitational force was three times heavier than on Earth.
Also, he could barely utilize his spiritual power. Every step felt heavier, so he could not walk at a brisk pace like he used to. Flying was not even an option. Even Qing Gong became inconvenient. Hence, he had to climb the hill with his bare feet.
After a while, he finally realized why it was named as the Shura World. The conditions were savage. Di Fuyi"s entire path was filled with rocks and ferocious Phantom Beasts that camouflaged as rocks. As soon as he pa.s.sed them by, they revealed their beastly, terrifying features.
They were unusually hideous, and it came as a shock to Di Fuyi the first time he saw them up close. Fortunately, he survived the first attack, all thanks to his agility.
Since his sole intention was to search for her, he would hide away from the beasts as much as he could to avoid fighting with them. To his surprise, once the beasts targeted him, they kept following him closely, not letting him escape.
After a few miles of fleeing, he managed to a.s.semble a large bunch of beasts behind him. He could no go on this way. With his fingers tightly gripped on the handle of his sword, he was determined to fight them off. It was going to be a tough, b.l.o.o.d.y fight.
These beasts were terrifying, but Di Fuyi"s Kung Fu was still superior. If he could fight them off with his real power, the beasts were easy targets. In a brief moment, a few were already lying lifelessly on the ground.
His sword was swift, and every swing was deadly. A lot of blood was shed. Di Fuyi thought that his ability to kill a few would serve as a warning to the rest. On the contrary, the remaining beasts fought even more aggressively!
