Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

1452  Blood Tendrils (4)

"What… What is that!?"

At the same time Xuan Hao was calmly observing the situation and analyzing what was happening and the reason behind the overwhelmingly fast defeat of the Demon Lord Realm demonic cultivator, the Middle Stage Dao Seed Realm cultivator from the Blue Sea Empire was left shocked at the sight of the countless blood tendrils that seemed to manifest out of thin air in his eyes.

Although he had already noticed something unusual about the state of the demonic cultivator and the winged lion demon beast earlier, he had not been able to sense the existence of these blood tendrils numbering in the millions that completely covered everything within a few thousand meters of where the winged lion demon beast and the demonic cultivator were located.

For this reason, he was completely taken aback by their sudden appearance and could not help retreating out of instinct. Understanding that even though he could clearly sense the strength of these tendrils were far from enough to pose a threat to him, the fact that they had managed to remain hidden indicated that there were likely someone more powerful than him behind the scenes controlling these blood tendrils.

Luckily, he quickly calmed down again as his gaze turned towards the winged lion demon beast currently breaking through to the Sixth Tribulation of the Soul Ascension Realm.

This demon beast should be related to the Star Shattering Sect, the hidden ancient sect that he had only recently learnt about existing inside the borders of what could be considered the Blue Sea Empire's outer sphere of influence.

Knowing this, he also understood that there was no way that this hidden ancient sect would just allow a demonic cultivator to cause trouble inside their territory.

The reason why the battle had been allowed so far should have just been because the hidden ancient sect wanted to take advantage of the demonic cultivator to help promote the strength of their own demon beast.

Now that the demonic cultivator had become too strong to provide any further assistance and the one behind the scenes had decided to make a move, it was clear that one of the true elders of this hidden ancient sect was likely to make a move to deal with the demonic cultivator before they started becoming a problem.

Thinking about this, the Middle Stage Dao Seed Realm cultivator from the Blue Sea Empire could not help feeling a bit of anticipation about what was going to happen next. After all, it was well known that the lowest level of elders from hidden ancient sects had surpassed the level of most ancestor level figures in major powers.

Seeing such a figure make a move was a rare thing and something that would be extremely beneficial to someone like himself who had already reached the peak of his realm and was looking for an opportunity to break through to the Celestial Immortal Realm and join the true upper echelons of the Blue Sea Empire.

Swish-!

And just when he was filled with anticipation and wondering when the figure from the Star Shattering Sect would make a move, it happened, as a terrifying spatial power suddenly tore through the battlefield before erupting directly above the blood tendril cocoon with the Demon Lord Realm demonic cultivator inside of it-

RUUUUMBLE-!

Not a second later, a terrifying spatial power engulfed the blood tendril cocoon, as space itself was directly torn apart, causing the blood tendril cocoon to almost instantly get erased from existence as it was swallowed up by the terrifying spatial powers. Space itself was shattered, as there was soon only an empty spot left where the blood tendrils and the demonic cultivator had once been.

Well… Not entirely so, as there was 'something' there, a scar in the very fabric of the space that made up the world.

Although this was not particularly unnatural, as someone in the Dao Seed Realm could archive this with relative ease, the terrifying part was the fact that the scar that had been left behind didn't heal like normal and still remained there even after a few seconds had gone by. Making the Dao Seed Realm cultivator from the Blue Sea Empire painfully aware of the terrifying power behind the strike just now that had directly shattered space to a point where even the world found it difficult to repair.

From a quick scan with his divine sense, it would likely take another two or three thousand years before the shattered space recovered back to normal again, before that, this shattered space would remain as a testament to what had happened here seconds earlier. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Indeed… Worthy of being an elder of a hidden ancient sect, the power of that attack just now should far surpass that of most ancestors in the Celestial Immortal Realm. Not to mention the profound understanding of space imbued in the attack. At least reaching the Large Succes Realm in the Dao of Space!

Given that the Dao Seed Realm cultivator from the Blue Sea Empire was already someone at the Peak of the Earth Immortal Realm and only a single step away from reaching the Celestial Immortal Realm, he was aware of far more things than other people at his realm would be aware of, as he instantly came to his own conclusions about what had just happened.

Ultimately, he ended up coming to the conclusion that Xuan Hao wanted him to come to, as there was no way this Dao Seed Realm cultivator from the Blue Sea Empire would have known that the reason why Xuan Hao had been able to shatter space to such a degree was not his overwhelming strength, but instead the special ability of the divine void eyes…

Roar…?

At the same time, the winged lion demon beast who had just finished breaking through and was ready to start fighting again, was left confused, as it suddenly found itself with no opponent in sight. Instead, only being left to stare directly at the shattered space left behind by Xuan Hao's earlier attack. Wondering inside if the demonic cultivator had run away.

Roar!

In the end, after searching for the demonic cultivator for a few more minutes without finding any signs of the other party, the winged lion demon beast concluded that the demonic cultivator had been scared away by its strength after its breakthrough just now, causing the winged lion demon beast to feel even more proud and arrogant about its new strength as it began making its way back towards the Star Shattering Sect.

Now that its strength had reached the Sixth Tribulation of the Soul Ascension Realm, it was about time that it made the rabbit demon beast understand that it was the strongest among them!

…

RUUUUMBLE-!

A few minutes before the winged lion demon beast began making its way back towards the Star Shattering Sect, Xuan Hao watched the blood tendril cocoon as it was swallowed up by the spatial collapse he had caused.

This was the plan he had come up with. Launching a single powerful attack to get rid of the demonic cultivator who had broken through to the Demon Lord Realm in a single go, upholding an image befitting of an ancient hidden sect when it came to dealing with such things.

Considering that the degree of shattering space was far beyond something that could be achieved by someone in the Dao Seed Realm or Earth Immortal Realm as it was called, it was certain that the one from the Blue Sea Empire and the demonic cultivator behind the scenes would both think that they were dealing with someone above the Dao Seed Realm. Having at least reached the Celestial Immortal Realm.

Given the effort expended by the demonic cultivator still hidden somewhere in the Frozen Wastelands, Xuan Hao hoped that the other party would be too weak to think about attacking after seeing the display of strength just now. Especially considering the profound comprehension of the Dao of Space he had displayed.

If the other party thought about the situation logically, they would understand that there would be no way for them to do anything to someone that strong with such a deep comprehension of the Dao of Space.

Not to mention, Xuan Hao also hoped that this demonic cultivator would help solidify the Star Shattering Sect's identity as a hidden ancient sect in the eyes of the demonic cultivators. After all, there was only so much Xuan Gui could do when it came to helping him in spreading this information considering her strength was still in the Demon Lord Realm…

Whoosh~

As his thoughts began to wander ever so slightly, Xuan Hao briefly sensed a powerful killing intent erupt from the depths of the Frozen Wastelands for a brief moment before everything calmed down again.

"This… Indeed, someone at the Demon King Realm…" Muttering this to himself as both of his eyes narrowed dangerously, Xuan Hao felt his entire body tense up as he focused his full attention on the Frozen Wasteland where the killing intent had erupted from.

However, after waiting another few minutes with a tense expression on his face, he slowly began calming down again. Understanding that the other party had decided to not make a move.
