Chapter 952 Cloud Demon Beast
Going down the side of the mountain together with the rabbit demon beast, Xuan Hao didn't end up encountering anything dangerous like he had first expected and managed to reach the location where the mountain met the sea of clouds.
However, instead of plunging directly into the clouds that was blocking his view, Xuan Hao came to a stop a dozen meters away from the clouds and began carefully examining them for any traces of the strange creature that he had seen swallow up a rather unlucky demon beast only a few minutes earlier.
Although the chance of encountering the strange creature hidden inside the sea of clouds should be far lower by sticking to the side of the mountain where he would be harder to spot, there would always be a chance that he was unlucky and ended up running into the strange creature the moment he tried passing through the clouds.
Only after making sure that there was nothing inside the clouds directly in front of him with his divine sense, did he proceed down into the sea of clouds below.
Whoosh~
As Xuan Hao stepped into the sea of clouds, he was immediately captivated by the ethereal beauty of the sea of clouds that seemed to stretch on endlessly, its misty waves rolling and swirling like an otherworldly spectacle. Drawn by the allure of this mystical place, Xuan Hao momentarily forgot about the danger lurking beneath the beauty of the place.
ROOOAR!
Just at this moment, a loud roar rippled echoed through the sea of clouds. Followed by a strange creature emerging from the depths of the place, its immense form obscured by the swirling clouds. Its body was filled with dozens of flowing tendrils that looked like flowing clouds and a pair of sharp horns could be seen on top of its head. The limbs of the creature were completely obscured from view and were impossible to discern at his current distance, but Xuan Hao could easily imagine them in a similar flowing state as the tendrils.
All things considered, Xuan Hao believed that the creature was far larger than any demon beast he had met before and should only have been surpassed by the corpse of the large squid-like creature belonging to the Dao of Corruption that he had seen during his time in the ancient sect ruins in terms of size.
However, the most shocking thing he discovered about this creature was not its size nor its unique appearance, but instead its strength.
When he first got a glance of what should have just been one of the small tendrils sticking up from the sea of clouds to devour the unlucky demon beast who had ended up falling into the sea of clouds, he had perceived the creature to have reached a similar strength as the powerful tree from the weird tree race, but… Now that he saw it in person, he realized that the strength of the creature in front of him was far above that of the Soul Ascension Realm. 𝑏𝑒𝑑𝘯𝑜𝘷𝑒𝑙．𝑐𝘰𝘮

If he was not wrong, the creature in front of him should have already surpassed the Soul Ascension Realm and reached the Earth Immortal Realm that the guardian Aria had mentioned to him!
Even worse, the creature's mouth was wide open, revealing its razor-sharp teeth as it looked towards him with what could only be described as a hungry expression.
The overwhelming fear of being targeted by a terrifying existence like this momentarily caused him to freeze on the spot. After all, different from the remnant soul of the demonic cultivator he had encountered in the temple at the Main Star Peak, the creature in front of him was a genuine Earth Immortal Realm demon beast. Not something that he had any way of resisting with his current strength.
Rustle~
Also feeling the terrifying aura of the Earth Immortal Realm, the rabbit demon beast woke up from its cultivation state and poked its head up before turning to look towards the approaching cloud demon beast-
Squeak?
However, different from Xuan Hao who had momentarily frozen in fear when faced with the cloud demon beast, the rabbit demon beast was completely unaffected by the terrifying aura and instead looked just as arrogant as always while facing another demon beast.
ROOAR!
Seeing the arrogant expression on the face of the rabbit demon beast who seemed to be looking down on it, the cloud demon beast let out another terrifying roar filled with killing intent. This time directed towards the rabbit demon beast in an attempt to force it into submission through its display of strength-
Squeak? SQUEAK!
Unfortunately for the cloud demon beast, the rabbit demon beast didn't react the way that it had wanted it to and instead just let an angry squeaking sound. Feeling offended by the cloud demon beast's attempt to scare it.
"Huh?"
It was also at this moment that Xuan Hao managed to recover from the impact of the Earth Immortal Realm aura of the cloud demon beast. Only to be left speechless at the scene of the small rabbit demon beast no larger than his fist arrogantly facing off against the immense cloud demon beast that eclipsed it in both size and strength.
What in the world is this rabbit, is it perhaps stronger than I first thought?
Seeing this scene, Xuan Hao could not help guessing that he might have misjudged the strength of the rabbit demon beast. Although it displayed the strength of someone who had just passed the Second Tribulation of the Soul Ascension Realm, it might actually secretly be hiding its true strength.
Considering the fact that he had no clue about the abilities of Earth Immortal Realm demon beast and had no idea if he would be able to see through the disguise of such a powerful demon beast, Xuan Hao could not help feeling that it made sense if the rabbit demon beast had been able to hide its true strength from him.
Swish-!
Bang!
SQUEEEAAAK!
However, as one of the tendrils came flying over and hit the body of the rabbit demon beast who ended up getting being knocked flying in a state that could be considered at the brink of death, Xuan Hao quickly threw the thought of the rabbit demon beast secretly being a powerful demon beast in disguise out.
