Ten days later.
Somewhere within the mountain ranges of the Earth Profound Realm.
A young man dressed in a white robe stood atop a massive boulder about two meters high. In his right hand, he gripped a gray longsword, from which icy cold air continually emanated.
This young man's face was expressionless, and the aura emanating from him was razor-sharp, akin to a peerless weapon. His gaze was piercingly intense, and perched lazily on his shoulder was a small "kitten."
Beneath the two-meter-high boulder was a colossal red centipede, its body extending five meters in length. On either side of its body were countless tiny legs, and its gaping mouth was terrifying to behold.
