There are several options.

Perhaps the easiest is to use separate code fences like this:

````
```
code
```

```
separate code
```
````

Which produces this:

```
code
```

```
separate code
```

Another way is to insert a line rule by putting three (or more) hyphens/dashes (`---`) on an empty line, without indentation, between the blocks, which produces a sharper separation:

    code

---

    separate code


(this can be used with indented code blocks as I've done here, or in addition to separate code fences as shown in my first example)

With indentation you can also use an unindented `<br>` tag to force a break (this also works in list context), which does this:


    code

<br>

    separate code
