Chapter 504: Underground Cave Network and…

Following the loud roar of the Domain Lord Realm demon beast, Xuan Hao watched with a shocked look on his face as a large worm made its way towards him filled with killing intent!

The last thing that he had expected, was for the Domain Lord Realm demon beast to be a giant worm with a length of at least a few hundred meters! Not only that, but the worm was clearly covered in a thick layer of skin that increased its defences way beyond its cultivation realm!

However, Xuan Hao was not the slightest bit intimidated by the giant worm demon beast charging towards him. Gathering the power of his cultivation base and sword domain into the silver sword Yi Min had gifted him, Xuan Hao didn’t give the worm demon beast any time to react, as he slashed down towards the worm demon beast charging towards him.

Not having the time to question how a worm could roar in the first place…

Swish!

Roar?

Not having any time to react to the terrifying sword light that suddenly appeared on Xuan Hao’s sword before it was already too late, the worm demon beast was caught off-guard and ended up being sent flying into the distance-

Bang!

Only coming to a stop after smashing into the walls of the enormous underground cave that they were currently inside of, as a large web of cracks could be seen on the place where Xuan Hao’s sword attack had hit it.

Roar!

Rumble~

Getting up the second after it had smashed into the cave wall, the worm demon beast didn’t dare stay around after realizing how strong Xuan Hao was. Directly digging into the ground below it and escaping. Not giving Xuan Hao any chance to attack it again!

“…”

Watching the worm demon beast dig into the ground before escaping, Xuan Hao didn’t bother chasing after it, but instead looked down at the silver sword in his hand.

From the single clash with the worm demon beast, Xuan Hao had already realized just how much stronger he was compared to before and at the same time, he also realized how important it was to have a good weapon!

Without the silver sword that he had been given by Yi Min, there was no way for him to breakthrough the worm demon beast defence so easily!

The reason for this was simple, as the worm demon beast was at the Fifth Stage of the Domain Lord Realm and from what Xuan Hao’s experience, its defences were above that of a Late-Stage Domain Lord!

Thinking about it…

The reason why Xuan Hao was so certain about the level of defensive capabilities of a Late-Stage Domain Lord, was because of a certain general of the Sky Empire going by the name of Guan…

“Hehe…”

Chuckling a bit to himself when he remembered the sight of General Guan getting thrown into the barrier of the Iron Sky Kingdom’s capital city again and again, Xuan hao shook his head with a small smile before returning his attention back to his surroundings.

In the future, he would have to thank him for getting beaten up in front of him by the giant rat demon beast…

For now, he would have to explore the underground cave network as the grand elder had called it and see if he could find any stronger demon beast than the worm.

At the very least, he hoped that the other caves would be more interesting than the one he currently found himself inside of…

Not only was there no other demon beasts present than the worm, but there was also nothing to see outside a barren rocky cave floor filled with several big and small craters. Most likely from past fights between demon beasts.

Whoosh~

Spreading out his divine sense, Xuan Hao quickly realized that there was some kind of force restricting force preventing him from fully utilizing his divine sense.

At his current strength, he could only barely cover and area one mile around himself. Around one fourth of the cave he currently found himself inside of.

“Hm? Looks like there is a tunnel just over there… It should lead to one of the other caves in this underground cave network that the grand elder talked about…”

Finding a tunnel after searching around for a few minutes, Xuan Hao didn’t bother staying in the now empty cave and directly flew towards the tunnel that he had found. Looking forward to hopefully finding a demon beast stronger than the worm he had encountered the moment he arrived.

“Still barren like the last cave. The only difference is that there is no worm this time around… Don’t tell me that the worm ate all the other demon beasts just before I arrived!?”

Coming to this realization as he stared at the similarly dead and barren cave that opened up in front of him, Xuan hao could not help cursing at the worm demon beast. Beginning to regret that he didn’t chase after it to kill it off back then.

“Hm!? Finally! A different cave!”

Having wandered through god knows how many dead barren caves over the past one hour since he had first arrived in the underground cave network, Xuan Hao was just about to give up searching for the demon beasts that were present everywhere according to the grand elder of the Half Spirit race.

Whoosh!

Increasing his speed, Xuan Hao froze the moment he stepped outside of the narrow tunnel he had been inside just a moment ago.

“This… I’m outside!?”

Seeing the sun burning brightly in the sky above him, Xuan Hao was taken aback as he realized that he had indeed managed to make his way outside. Something that the grand elder had never mentioned anything about, as the demon beasts would grow stronger the further away from the entrance to the underground cave network, he went…

Given the fact that the Grand Elder was only at the Nascent Soul Realm, there was no way for him to possibly deal with a demon beast like the giant worm Xuan Hao had encountered!

“Only a single hour should have passed, why is the sun already up?”

Realizing that something was wrong, the moment he looked up into the air, Xuan Hao could not help wondering just where he had ended up.

Did he accidently enter some Secret Realm or perhaps a Mystic Realm…?

Feeling extremely confused over the situation that he found himself in, Xuan Hao didn’t notice the fact that someone was observing him with a similarly confused expression from afar.

“Hah… I should just look around for now and try to find out where I am. In the first place, I can always leave through the teleportation formation left inside the cave network…”

Sighing as he muttered this to himself, Xuan Hao didn’t plan to stay around in front of the narrow tunnel leading into the large cave network, as he began looking around himself. Only to realize that he was in the middle of an overgrown jungle.

Not only that, but the suppression on his divine sense had increased even further after having left the underground cave network. To make matters worse, Xuan Hao had also felt something restricting his ability to fly. Forcing him to move by the ground instead of the air once again…

“I should head for somewhere to get a better look over where I am…”

Whoosh~

Climbing up a nearby tree towering more than a hundred meters into the sky, Xuan Hao looked around himself. Only to find out that an endless sea of trees spread out all around him. The only thing standing out in this sea of trees, was a large mountain piercing through the sea of tree and reaching for the clouds above.

I should be able to get a better view from the mountain. Maybe I can also get an idea of where I am.

Deciding to head towards the large mountain in the distance without a second thought, Xuan Hao left behind a small formation so he would be able to locate the narrow tunnel leading into the cave network in the future. After all, the last thing he wanted was to not know how to get back home again…

Whoosh~

Even when moving on the ground, Xuan Hao’s speed had not decreased by much, as he rapidly approached the large mountain in the distance. Jumping over several large ravines and rivers along the way.

His divine sense restricted to the extreme, Xuan Hao didn’t even notice the fact that someone or something was following closely behind him as he moved through the large jungle…

Roar!

Along the way, Xuan Hao had also managed to discover that the jungle was filled with demon beasts. However, none of them interested him in the slightest, as most of them were only in the Nascent Soul Realm. The strongest had only barely reached the Domain Lord Realm. Far from enough to pose a challenge to the current Xuan Hao!
