Cultivating Disciples To Breakthrough

Watching as the sandworm continued up for a few more seconds after having missed him before gravity kicked in and dragged its massive body back towards the ground again, Xuan Hao could not help feeling a sense of awe when faced with the sheer size of the sandworm. By far, it was the largest creature that he had ever encountered so far. Even the weird squid creature and the cloud demon beast came nowhere near the size of the sandworm gracefully falling towards the ground in front of him.

As Xuan Hao speculated earlier, the giant sandworm was too big to fly.

Maybe it was due to the fact that the space inside the trial space was far more stable than the outside world, making it far harder to fly, or maybe it was simply due to the fact that the sandworm had never thought about trying to do it in the first place.

No matter what it was, this all resulted in the sandworm now falling back down towards the ground without being able to slow its fall.

But… More importantly than that, the sandworm's current state presented a perfect opportunity for Xuan Hao to launch an attack-

Swish!

And having already managed to find one of the sandworm's possible weak spots during his short stay inside its mouth, Xuan Hao was more than happy to jump at this opportunity to test out whether or not he could make use of the tiny filters to get beneath the scales of the sandworm and start doing some real damage inside of it.

Ching~!

Hitting the scales of that covered the large head of the sandworm, Xuan Hao didn't flinch and instead focused on controlling the energy contained inside the sword to spread out to cover the head of the sandworm instead of trying to break through the close to indestructible scales. Allowing it to search for the small openings that had been used to filter the sand out from the mouth earlier on.

Although this was not easy to do with how little time he had left before the sandworm landed on the ground and had the chance to escape or try and swallow him again, Xuan Hao already knew the rough location of where these filters were located on the head of the sandworm-

"There!"

And a short moment before the sandworm landed on the ground, he finally found them!

Whoosh-!

Wasting no time after finding his target, Xuan Hao used a large portion of his qi to create a large amount of sword energy that soon gathered in the palm of his hand before violently smashing it into the location where the openings that the sandworm used to filter sand out of its mouth was located.

BOOOOOOM-!

The second his palm filled with sword energy hit the body of the sandworm, it violently exploded forth with a terrifying might before rushing into the small openings in the body of the sandworm.

ROOOOOOOOOOOAR!

Feeling the terrifying sword energy that had infiltrated its body before traveling beneath its scales directly towards its vital organs, the sandworm could not help letting out a both panicked and painful roar, as it felt the sword energy tearing apart its body in the process.

Even worse, when it tried to expel the sword energy running rampant inside of its body, it quickly discovered that the scales that normally protected it, was now making it far more difficult for it to forcibly expel the sword energy from its body. Not only that, but it soon discovered that Xuan Hao had appeared on the opposite side of its head-

BOOOOM-!

And before it had a chance to react, another palm filled with sword energy fell on the sand filter, as even more sword energy rushed inside of its body before starting to cause even more damage.

ROOOOAR!

At this point in time, the sandworm was no longer thinking about swallowing Xuan Hao, but was instead thinking about how to escape before things got worse… And the best way to do this was by digging into the sand where it would be able to exert its full power.

In the head of the sandworm, as long as it could hide away beneath the sand, it would be able to easily escape from Xuan Hao and find a safe place to expel the sword energy from its body.

Understand this as well, Xuan Hao tried his best to destroy the sandworm from the inside before it had a chance to reach the sand, but in the end, he also realized that the body of the sandworm was simply far too large for him to kill in such a short amount of time.

Even if he had free access to run rampant inside the body of the sandworm at the moment, it didn't matter.

And that was not even mentioning the fact that the sandworm also had an abnormally fast recovery speed. If he didn't dedicate part of the sword energy to making sure it didn't regrow the parts that he destroyed, it would end up recovering almost immediately after he had done any damage…

I won't be able to kill it in time like this, but how can I kill the sandworm faster than now?

Knowing that he would have to think of something else if he wanted to kill it before it could escape, Xuan Hao could not help narrowing his eyes as he thought about all possible solutions he could think of-

Wait… Maybe I can try and use the Dao of Corruption. If it works, it should feed on the energy inside the body of the sandworm and devour it from the inside!

Thinking about this, Xuan Hao thought about a few other ideas, but in the end, only the Dao of Corruption seemed like it was going to work and not having any time left to think of other ways to kill the sandworm, Xuan Hao decided to use the Dao of Corruption.

Swoosh! 𝙗𝙚𝙙𝙣𝒐𝙫𝙚𝙡.𝙤𝙧𝒈

In one swift motion, the Dao of Corruption spread through his Dao domain and entered the body of the sandworm. Using the many passages carved out by the sword energy to rapidly spread through the entire body of the sandworm.
