Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

As the demonic figure of the young man used all of his strength to dash through the blizzard before those terrifying swords behind him got the opportunity to further weaken the blood barrier protecting him, the small figure of the rabbit demon beast poked up from the snow. Unaffected by the surrounding blizzard, as it remained fully focused on the escaping demonic cultivator.

Squeak?

However, different from the young demonic cultivator desperately escaping, the rabbit demon beast had the chance to observe the situation currently taking place inside of the blizzard… And to put it in simple terms, it was far from being as terrifying as that young demonic cultivator thought it was.

Instead, it clearly saw how all of the power of the formation was slowly concentrated towards the two terrifying swords currently cutting down at the young demonic cultivator relentlessly.

The rest of the swords that had stirred earlier in the distance remained silent following the first movement, as the power contained inside of them flowed towards the two swords attacking.

Far from being a formation capable of killing someone in the Demon King Realm, the blizzard formation was currently using all of its power to escape the young demonic cultivator. Soon enough getting to the point where the rabbit demon beast could clearly feel the strength of the blizzard weakening because of it.

If the young demonic cultivator knew about this, he probably wouldn’t have been terrified like he was at the moment, but he would likely still continue to run for his life. After all, the strength of the formation was still far above what the young demonic cultivator could resist against, as he was still only someone in the True Demon Realm.

Swish~!

Deciding to not think too deeply about the strength of the formation that had been set up by its master, the rabbit demon beast soon jumped forward in pursuit of the young demonic cultivator. Not intending to let him out of sight and end up failing the mission that had been assigned to it by its master.

After all, at this point in time, it had still not managed to figure out just what this demonic cultivator was up to, outside of wanting to enter the territory of the Star Shattering Sect.

If not for the fact that it had already been informed by its master about the danger of the young demonic cultivator, it wouldn’t have wasted any time continuing to discreetly follow after him like this and would have instead just rushed over and beat him up before asking him in person- Hm… Maybe not in person, but at least through one of its now numerous human subordinates back in the Iron Sky Kingdom…

Dashing after the young demonic cultivator, the rabbit demon beast soon disappeared from view as it similarly began moving in the direction of the Star Shattering Sect’s territory on the other side of the blizzard.

As for worrying about any damage that the young demonic cultivator might end up causing after reaching the territory of the Star Shattering Sect? The rabbit demon beast wasn’t the slightest bit worried, as it had already informed its master about the situation.

It was likely that its master was already monitoring the situation on the other side of the blizzard. Ensuring that he could keep an eye on the young demonic cultivator the moment he stepped inside the Star Shattering Sect’s territory.

Of course, given that there was still the danger of powerful talismans and other protective artifacts, the rabbit demon beast guessed that its master should be trying to keep a distance from the young demonic cultivator in case the special talisman given to him by the Demon King of the Frozen Wastelands detected him.

Although he guessed that he would be noticed even with this, there was nothing much to do about it considering that the Frozen Wastelands was essentially located right next to the sect itself. Only separated by the former Azure Sky Kingdom that was now under the control of the Ascendant Frost Hall.

The only hope Xuan Hao had for avoiding any detection by the other party would be if they couldn’t accurately pinpoint his location and just thought the other party was in the nearby Onyx Empire. After all, it was already well known through this part of the Frozen Wastelands and the surrounding kingdoms and powers, like the Star Shattering Sect, that there was an ancestor from the Blue Sea Empire present in the Onyx Empire to guard against a potential attack aimed to push closer to the Blue Sea Empire.

Even if there ended up being two such people, it wouldn’t be that surprising considering that the last time only one Celestial Immortal Realm cultivator was left guarding the border, he ended up being ambushed.

….

Sitting at the peak of a small mountain while enjoying a refreshingly warm cup of tea in what should have been freezing temperatures, Xuan Hao curiously looked in the direction of the barrier he had placed at the border between the Star Shattering Sect and the Frozen Wastelands. Soon enough, focusing his powerful divine sense on a five-meter-tall demonic figure barreling through the blizzard at terrifying speed while being chased by two massive swords.

Even from a glance, it was obvious that the demonic cultivator stood no chance when faced with the two terrifying swords that kept attacking him and could only helplessly continue to run.

The only thing that ensured his continued survival being a blood red barrier that covered his body perfectly. Absorbing all the damage from the two massive swords constantly slashing down at the young demonic cultivator.

Of course, the blood red barrier didn’t have an infinite source of qi available and was already starting to show signs of breaking, as countless tiny cracks had already started forming at the surface of the barrier.

However, even with this, it still managed to hold off the continued attacks of the two massive sword that had the combined might off two cultivators in the Late Stage of the Dao Seed Realm, a strength far beyond that of a Half Bloom Stage Earth Immortal.

”The energy I left to keep that barrier running for years to come...”

Similar to the blood red barrier protecting the young demonic cultivator, the two massive swords that seemed to be filled with an unending strength. Showing no signs of slowing down their offensive, was similarly running out of energy.

Although it would be after the blood red barrier, it still made Xuan Hao rather depressed, as he understood that he would have to pay another visit to the barrier in the near future to ensure that it could keep functioning according to its original purpose…

”So… That is the demonic cultivator who noticed me at the border?” Shaking his head as he threw the troubling thoughts of having to work on the barrier between the Frozen Wastelands and the Star Shattering Sect’s territory again, Xuan Hao instead decided to focus his attention on the demonic figure desperately trying to get out of the blizzard as fast as possible.

Peak True Demon Realm, only a single step away from reaching the Demon Lord Realm.

This was his assessment of the other party’s strength.

As for the different artifacts and talismans he might be carrying… Just from the blood red barrier that was perfectly protecting him against the combined assault of two Late Stage Dao Seed Realm swords, it was obvious that he was indeed a dangerous individual.

Even though his cultivation realm was far lower than his own, Xuan Hao didn’t dare be the slightest bit careless dealing with this demonic cultivator.

It was also for this reason that he had decided to move to a remote mountain peak close to the Star Shattering Sect’s territory with the Onyx Empire after hearing about the blood child of the Frozen Wastelands Demon King trying to enter the territory of the Star Shattering Sect.

Hopefully, he wouldn’t cause any trouble in the Star Shattering Sect’s territory with the Onyx Empire right next door. Giving Xuan Hao and the rabbit demon beast an opportunity to figure out what he was up to.

”Huh?! My… My divine was cut off?!”

However, just as Xuan Hao was about to sit down and relax while keeping an eye on the young demonic cultivator, he abruptly stood up with a shocked expression on his face as he felt his divine sense observing the young demonic cultivator being cut off by some kind of terrifying power that had briefly erupted from the young demonic cultivator as far as he could tell.

”Another protective talisman or treasure? And one that blocks the prying eyes of others…” Muttering this to himself as he glanced in the direction of where the young demonic cultivator was currently located, Xuan Hao could not help frowning to himself. Realizing that he had still ended up underestimating the protective measures put in place by the Frozen Wastelands Demon King.
