Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

Following the Celestial Immortal from the Blue Sea Empire moving out to deal with the demonic cultivators, it didn’t take long before the demonic cultivators that had returned to invade the Onyx Empire suddenly found themselves being reduced to nothing more than a bloody mist as the Celestial Immortal arrived and used his terrifying strength to kill all of them before continuing in the direction of the Frozen Wasteland filled with killing intent.

Among the few demonic cultivators that had managed to escape alive from the terrifying and all-encompassing power of the Celestial Immortal Realm ancestor by being at the edge of the Onyx Empire and on their way to invade some of the different powers bordering the Onyx Empire, there were a few in the Demonic Transformation Realm who had managed to sense the terrifying power that had suddenly descended a short distance behind them.

”Celestial Immortal! A Celestial Immortal from the Blue Sea Empire is here!”

”W-we have to leave!”

”But where do we go? That Celestial Immortal should be moving towards the Frozen Wasteland…”

As the Demonic Transformation Realm demonic cultivators came to a stop on their way towards one of the empires bordering the Onyx Empire, they all understood that they had to leave as fast as possible and find somewhere to hide before the Celestial Immortal ancestor from the Blue Sea Empire appeared again and killed them off.

At the very least, they felt lucky that they were so meaningless to that existence that they had been completely ignored just because they were a few hundred meters outside the range of the place where his domain had descended.

”Maybe we can hide inside a secret realm. Although those places are bound to be searched through, we might be able to avoid detection by finding an uninhabited secret realm to hide inside of.”

”Good idea.”

”Yeah, let’s go with that. After the danger passes, we can start growing our strength secretly while avoiding any attention from the surrounding powers.”

Coming to a decision on how to escape from their current dangerous situation unscratched, the group of Demonic Transformation Realm demonic cultivators formed an alliance with each other as they rushed forward in the search of a secret realm that they could hide inside of.

Luckily, the border of the empire that they were planning on entering was relatively weak. Allowing them to overwhelm the border guards by working together before entering the empire in search of a secret realm to hide inside of.

Not much different from this group of Demonic Transformation Realm demonic cultivators, the rest of the powerful demonic cultivators that had managed to survive the arrival of the Celestial Immortal Realm ancestor from the Blue Sea Empire, came up with similar solutions and began searching everywhere for secret realms to hide inside until the danger outside passed.

Of course, their success varied widely depending on the strength of the empire or power that they decided to try and hide away inside of, as most empires, including the Star Shattering Sect, managed to successfully fend off against the demonic cultivators trying to enter their territory to hide away.

Even then, there were still a lot of demonic cultivators that were successful in escaping and finding somewhere to hide away while the danger outside passed. Only planning to reemerge when they were certain the people from the Blue Sea Empire were gone.

…

Noticing the strange and sudden disappearance of the demonic cultivators a few hours later when only a few weaker demonic cultivators appeared at the Star Shattering Sect’s borders, Elder Dust Fairy wasted no time as she set out to figure out what had happened through the people that she had managed to place in the Onyx Empire.

”Huh? All of the demonic cultivators suddenly died?”

In the end, she quickly learnt that all of the demonic cultivators inside the Onyx empire had suddenly died. Only showing a sudden expression filled with terror before being reduced to a bloody mist without any chance to fight back.

Even if Elder Dust Fairy didn’t know what or who was behind the sudden death of the demonic cultivators, she guessed that the other party should be someone above the Dao Seed Realm from the fact that they had managed to kill all of the demonic cultivators inside the Onyx Empire in no more than a few minutes.

”Did the Celestial Immortals from the Blue Sea Empire finally make a move?” Muttering this to herself, Elder Dust Fairy shook her head before taking off to inform Feng Chen and Elder Song about what had happened in the Onyx Empire. Understanding that the battle with the demonic cultivators in the Frozen Wasteland was about to reach a realm completely out of their league.

In such a situation, she understood that the best course of action would be for them to retreat back to the Shattered Star Peak where they at least had the protection of the terrifying chaotic qi formation in case something ended up happening.

After all, the strongest people in the Star Shattering Sect at the moment was Pei Yang who was around the earlier stages of the Dao Seed Realm and Xuan Hao who should also be somewhere around the middle stages of the Dao Seed Realm from what she could guess from how Pei Yang had clearly referred to him as being the stronger one between the two.

Both were far from strong enough to contend with a peak existence at the Celestial Immortal Realm-

BOOOM-!

Just as she was lost in her own thoughts making her way back towards the sect, a terrifying explosion suddenly rang out in the direction of the Frozen Wasteland before a terrifying shockwave leveled the territory of the Onyx Empire that she could barely see in the distance. Killing anything in its path.

”The Celestial Immortal started fighting…”

Even without seeing where the shockwave had come from, she was clear of one thing, the Celestial Immortal Realm ancestor from the Blue Sea Empire should have started fighting.

However, there was one thing that confused her about the shockwave… And that was the fact that it seemed to have been stopped by something before it had a chance to reach the territory of the Star Shattering Sect.

Is it the barrier that Senior Xuan set up to stop demonic cultivators?

Remembering the fact that she had heard Elder Song talking about Grand Elder Xuan Hao setting up a barrier to stop demonic cultivators from barging into the territory of the Star Shattering Sect from the Frozen Wasteland, Elder Dust Fairy could not help narrowing her eyes with a look of disbelief as she stared off in the direction of the Frozen Wasteland.

Although the power of the shockwave just now should only contain a fraction of the strength of the Celestial Immortal Realm, it was still far beyond anything she had ever seen or felt before.

For the barrier set up by Grand Elder Xuan Hao to stop it, she guessed that she might have underestimated the strength of this Grand Elder.

Perhaps, he was already close to reaching the Celestial Immortal Realm or the Profound Immortal Realm that she had only recently learnt about.

”I hope that is the case…” Shaking her head as she said this while looking off in the direction of the Frozen Wasteland, Elder Dust Fairy didn’t waste any more time as she continued to rush back in the direction of the Shattered Star peaks.

…

Whoosh~

A few hours earlier, upon arriving in the air above the destroyed capital city of the Onyx Empire, the Celestial Immortal Realm ancestor from the Blue Sea Empire frowned in disgust as he looked down at the demonic cultivators who were in the process of consuming the bodies of several fallen cultivators below.

”Hmph, to think so many demonic cultivators left the Frozen Wasteland to cause chaos and destroy one of those small empires. Let’s just kill all of those insects to start off with.” Not saying anything more than this, the ancestor gently lifted his right arm, as a terrifying light suddenly appeared in the palm of his hand before splitting up into countless small streams of light that shot off in all directions-

”AH!?”

”Wha-!?”

”Noooo-!”

Soon spreading throughout the entire Onyx Empire. Killing any demonic cultivator that they came in contact with along the way. Reducing them to nothing more than a bloody mist before continuing onward to their next target before any of the cultivators still struggling to stay alive in the demonic cultivator infested Onyx Empire had the time to see what had happened.

In no more than a few minutes, the streams of light returned to the palm of the Celestial Immortal Realm ancestor before dispersing into thin air like they had never existed in the first place.

”Now, time to deal with those Demon Lord Realm insects.” Not showing the slightest hint of exhaustion after having essentially wiped out every single demonic cultivator in the Onyx Empire within a few short minutes, the Celestial Immortal Realm ancestor from the Blue Sea Empire wasted no time as he began making his way towards the Frozen Wasteland.
