995 Leaving the Mystic Realm



Bang!

As the body of the demon beast was cut in half and crashed into the ground below, Chu Yang and Qing Yi were both frozen solid as they tried to comprehend what had just happened.

One moment, the demon beast had appeared directly in front of them and was about to swallow them whole, while the next moment, it had been cut in half and crashed into the ground thousands of meters away from them.

Everything had happened at a speed far surpassing the Nascent Soul Realm. Making both of them freeze on the spot as they hadn't even comprehended the fact that their master had appeared in front of them-

"Chu Yang, Qing Yi, are both of you there?" 

"Y-Yes!"

"Yes!"

Only when he called out to them did both of them recover from their dazed state as they almost jumped in surprise while answering. Not having expected their master to show up inside of the mystic realm. After all, they had managed to learn about the fact that there was a cultivation restriction on entering the mystic realm and didn't expect him to suddenly show up and save them.

However, now that he had appeared, they felt themselves relax-

Thump~

And before Xuan Hao could react, both of them collapsed on the ground. The exhaustion and injuries that they had been suppressing finally made them fall unconscious after realizing that their master was there to protect them.

In the end, they fainted because they relaxed themselves too much.

Although there wouldn't be any side effects from this, it would end up taking them far longer to recover depending on how fast they woke up…

"These two…" Seeing both of his disciples laying on the ground, Xuan Hao could not help rolling his eyes. Not having to use his divine sense to figure out what happened to them.

Roar!

Roooar!

At this time, the sound of some of the demon beasts, who had been lucky enough to survive the shockwave from earlier, echoed out across the wasteland that had been left behind by the shockwave, as they tried their best to intimidate any of the nearby demon beasts lurking nearby from taking advantage of their weakened state to attack them.

Rustle~

Unfortunately, this attempt was met with little success, as a large number of demon beasts slowly began emerging from the forest surrounding the large wasteland-

Ptsh-!

Roar!

And not a second later, the painful roar of one of the weakened demon beasts that had landed right next to the tree line where the wasteland began echoed out, as a large boar demon beast had emerged from the forest and attacked it the moment it. Biting down on it before starting to drag the still struggling demon beast back into the forest where several other boar demon beasts could be seen waiting in anticipation.

What happened after the weakened demon beast was dragged into the forest was not hard to imagine, as its pitiful and painful roars soon stopped. Announcing its departure from the world, but at the same time also serving as a go ahead for the other demon beasts hiding around at the edge of the wasteland, as the large number of demon beasts began surging in from all directions. Searching for any weakened demon beast to devour.

Roar-!

Filled with confidence and being far too weak to have seen how Xuan Hao had killed the Soul Ascension Realm demon beast, one of the demon beasts rushing into the wasteland inevitably saw Xuan Hao standing beside his two fainted disciples and rushed towards him without a second thought. Believing that it had been lucky and managed to find three weakened demon beasts all by itself and although it couldn't sense Xuan Hao's cultivation base, it could still sense Chu Yang and Qing Yi's cultivation base at the earlier stages of the Nascent Soul Realm.

Thinking that Xuan Hao should be somewhere around the same level of strength as them, the demon beast was filled with even more confidence as it used its powerful cultivation base at the Peak of the Nascent Soul Realm in an attempt to intimidate Xuan Hao-

"Hm?"

However, contrary to what the demon beast filled with confidence had expected to happen after it showed off its Peak Nascent Soul Realm cultivation base, Xuan Hao just turned around and glared towards it. Instantly resulting in the confident demon beast freezing on the spot as it felt an overwhelming sense of fear welling up inside of it.

Whoosh~

Not even having any time to react or escape, the demon beast could only fearfully look in Xuan Hao's direction as it felt its body and soul being frozen. Killing it in an instant.

"Looks like its time to leave before any more powerful demon beasts end up showing up." Glancing over at the now frozen demon beast, Xuan Hao picked up both of his unconscious disciples with his domain before heading in the direction out of the mystic realm. 

Not caring about the fearful and shocked looks he got from the rest of the demon beast in the wasteland who had just witnessed how a Peak Nascent Soul Realm demon beast had been frozen to death in an instant without any ability to resist.

ROOOAR!

However, the silence that had fallen on the wasteland only lasted for a few seconds after Xuan Hao had disappeared, as one of the demon beasts finally found the dead body of the Soul Ascension Realm demon beast. Inevitably causing a massive battle to erupt among the demon beasts, as all of them understood just how precious the dead body of a Soul Ascension Realm demon beast was.

Even if they couldn't directly reach the Soul Ascension Realm after devouring the dead body, they should at the very least be able to reach the Domain Lord Realm.

Rooar!

For this reason, the demon beasts already targeting some of the weakened demon beasts in the wasteland dropped their battle as they also focused their attention on getting their hands on the body of the Soul Ascension Realm demon beast.

In the end, this gave the weakened demon beasts an opportunity to slowly slip away without being noticed. Silently hoping they would be able to recover fast enough to join in on the battle for the dead body of the Soul Ascension Realm demon beast.

…

How am I going to leave the mystic realm?

Arriving in front of the cave system that would ultimately lead to the place where the mystic realm was connected to his old pavilion at the Flying Sword Sect, Xuan Hao could not help coming to a stop as he thought about the problem that he had thrown to the back of his mind ever since making his way inside the mystic realm.

Swish~

Given that the formation guarding the mystic realm didn't allow anyone above the Nascent Soul Realm to pass through it and he didn't know if he could gather a large enough number of Nascent Soul Realm demon beast to throw through the exit in hope of weakening the formation enough for him to pass through again, Xuan Hao decided to make his way to the exit for now and see if he could leave.

If he really couldn't leave, he could go back to the wasteland where a large number of Nascent Soul Realm demon beasts were currently gathered and try his luck at catching as many as possible before trying to leave the mystic realm the same way he entered it in the past…

"Hm?" 

However, when he arrived in front of the cliff that should lead back up towards his pavilion, Xuan Hao was surprised to discover that the exit was not at all hidden like it had been when he had first passed through it and entered the mystic realm.

Wait… That is not it, the exit is still hidden, but I can see it…

After a quick scan with his divine sense, it did not take long for Xuan Hao to realize that the exit of the mystic realm was still hidden, as it looked no different from a normal cave ceiling through his divine sense.

"Is it perhaps because I'm not originally from the mystic realm?" Muttering this to himself as he remembered how his disciples had been able to easily find their way back out of the mystic realm after first entering it by accident, Xuan Hao felt this made sense. 

Maybe the exit was only hidden to the demon beast living inside of the mystic realm…

Feeling a sense of renewed confidence in being able to leave the mystic realm after realizing this, Xuan Hao began to slowly float up towards the exit-

Whoosh~

And without any problems, he smoothly made his way through the thin barrier covering the exit together with his two disciples Leaving the mystic realm without any problems.

"Hm? The robe…"

However, during the process of passing through the guardian formation of the mystic realm, Xuan Hao noticed several ancient patterns flashing across the surface of the robe that the elder from the mystic realm had given to him…
