Chapter 1044: Chapter 925: Xuan Realm Cultivator
The sealing of the gateway between Earth and the Xuan Realm has loosened, powerful mutant beasts could break through the seal at any moment and come to Earth, but people on Earth are unaware of the location of this gateway in the Xuan Realm.
Xuan Realm!
Southern Domain!
Xuan Beast Forest!
Xuan Beast Forest is a rather special existence in the Xuan Realm, it’s a paradise for Xuan Beasts, where countless Xuan Beasts reproduce and thrive, filled with slaughter and bloodshed.
The Law of the Jungle is the only law, the weak are prey to the strong, there is no reasoning, strength is the sole truth.
However, Xuan Beast Forest is also a paradise for adventurers of the Xuan Realm, where many cultivators like to hunt Xuan Beasts and acquire beast cores.
Some of the Xuan Beasts are full of treasures, their fur is precious, their flesh can be used in medicine or alchemy, even their bones are valuable.
Moreover, due to the lack of human presence, many spiritual medicines and treasure medicines grow here, with ages ranging from decades to hundreds of years.
And the closer you get to the center of the Xuan Beast Forest, the more abundant and precious these spiritual or treasure medicines become.
However, these treasure medicines are often guarded by powerful Xuan Beasts, making it difficult for cultivators to harvest them, usually risking their lives to succeed.
High risks inevitably accompany high rewards, this is true in every world, as long as there are huge profits, there will always be the fearless who dare to undertake the danger.
Today, a daring cultivator appeared in the Xuan Beast Forest, around twenty years old, wearing blue clothes, desperately fleeing for his life.
For no other reason than he was being chased by a huge eagle with fiery lights all over its body, relentlessly pursuing him from high above, spitting out successive fireballs.
Boom!
Wherever the eagle went, flames soared, thick smoke billowed, causing other Xuan Beasts to flee in panic, afraid they’d become the target of this Flame Eagle’s wrath.
This Flame Eagle, though only a True Essence Realm beast, is not the strongest in the Xuan Beast Forest, but indeed the most troublesome. In its territory grows a Profound Ice Lotus, a treasure medicine with a five-hundred-year lineage.
Over the years, many cultivators in the Xuan Realm have eyed this Profound Ice Lotus, but none have succeeded in picking it, most are directly burned to ashes by its flames, leaving no trace behind.
This blue-clothed youth, eyeing the Profound Ice Lotus, couldn’t defeat the Flame Eagle and was chased mercilessly, narrowly escaping fireball strikes several times.
Still, he proved formidable, managing to evade the Flame Eagle’s attacks for such a long time, although his energy was heavily drained.
Fleeing while secretly lamenting, the blue-clothed youth didn’t appear as composed as he seemed, indeed he was gravely injured, taking a nearly deadly strike from the Flame Eagle when attempting the Lotus, almost reducing him to ashes.
Luckily, he came well-prepared this time, and the Flame Eagle, fearing damage to the Profound Ice Lotus, didn’t unleash its full strength, or else he’d have been charcoal by now.
After fleeing for nearly an hour, the blue-clothed youth felt he was at the end of his rope. If he failed to escape the relentless pursuit, he was truly in grave danger.
At this time, numerous mutant beasts in the Xuan Beast Forest gathered, harboring deep hatred towards cultivators from the Xuan Realm, towards humans.
Cultivators from the Xuan Realm came to the Xuan Beast Forest rarely with good intentions, mostly stealing spiritual medicine or hunting them.
“Huff! Huff!”
Now, these Xuan Beasts formed a spontaneous alliance, chasing and blocking the blue-clothed youth, frequently launching beast techniques!
The blue-clothed youth lamented endlessly, he never imagined that the act of stealing a Profound Ice Lotus would stir such a disaster, and yet it hadn’t even fallen into his hands, such frustration was beyond description.
With the way ahead blocked and pursuers behind, the blue-clothed youth thought, he couldn’t flee towards the Xuan Beast Forest’s edge, as the mutant beasts would know his path and surely intercept him up ahead, making escape even harder.
With this thought, the blue-clothed youth’s eyes flickered, he suddenly veered in another direction, planning to circle back and escape!
Just then…
The blue-clothed youth suddenly noticed a golden flash not far ahead, as if a strange treasure had emerged, he was overjoyed and dashed over with all his strength!
In his opinion, if indeed a strange treasure appeared, he might gain the power to protect himself, at least to break out of the Xuan Beast Forest.
Given the short distance, the blue-clothed youth quickly arrived at the glittering site, only to see a golden shimmering portal abruptly appearing before him.
He hesitated, uncertain where this golden portal led, contemplating bypassing it to continue escaping, but realized he was surrounded, numerous Xuan Beasts encircling him from all directions.
Leading the charge was none other than the Flame Eagle, its fiery glow had dissipated yet still appeared to be burning red-hot.
“Whoosh!”
This was truly a dead-end situation, the blue-clothed youth gritted his teeth, irrespective of where the golden portal led, he leapt through, vanishing inside.
For now, deeply injured, resisting beast attacks was out of the question, and fleeing was increasingly difficult, at this rate, certain doom awaited him!
“Trying to escape? Do you think you can?”
The Flame Eagle was enraged; over the years, many Xuan Realm cultivators had coveted its Profound Ice Lotus, causing it endless annoyance.
The Flame Eagle possessed the bloodline of the mythical fire phoenix, yet the fire poison was so severe that even it couldn’t endure, requiring the cold of the Profound Ice Lotus to neutralize the fire poison, purifying its bloodline.
Therefore, the Profound Ice Lotus is absolutely a treasure more precious than life for it, not allowing outsiders to lay a finger on it.
It didn’t know where this golden Light Gate would lead to. To slay this pesky cultivator, the Flame Eagle rushed into the Light Gate without any hesitation.
Behind it, those powerful Xuan Beasts also followed in, disappearing instantly within the Light Gate.
…
American Alliance, Havis Desert, this is an endless expansive desert, virtually a forbidden zone for human life, with very few venturing into such a harsh environment.
However——
Within this desert, there is a hidden base established by the Qinghong Organization.
A cunning rabbit has three burrows, but Chen Daozang is far more cunning than a rabbit. He has built secret bases in desolate places all over the world for his secluded cultivation.
Ever since witnessing Chu Xuanji and Yan slay a Half-step True Essence Realm mutant beast on the African Continent, Chen Daozang disappeared from there.
He has always been cautious, fearing Chu Xuanji and Yan might come after him once free, so he left for his base in Havis Desert in the American Alliance from the African Continent.
On this day, Chen Daozang was cultivating, trying to take that crucial step to fully reach the True Essence Realm, but he still couldn’t succeed, unable to find the path.
While in cultivation, Chen Daozang suddenly sensed a fierce fluctuation of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, and he opened his eyes abruptly, exiting the base to look towards the direction of the violent Qi wave.
The severe fluctuation of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi was definitely abnormal, surely something major was going to happen!
Chen Daozang had no idea about the events in the Xuan Realm, he thought Chu Xuanji and Yan had come, but upon reconsideration, he felt it impossible!
Because, in his view, Chu Xuanji and Yan were both extremely shrewd individuals. If it were truly them, they would hide their tracks and directly raid his lair, definitely not being so ostentatious.
While he was in utter confusion, suddenly his eyes widened as he noticed a golden Light Gate suddenly appearing in the distant desert.
“Mirage?”
The first thought that crossed Chen Daozang’s mind was a mirage. Mirages appear not only in the sea but also in the desert.
Many adventurers in the desert end up dying there, not because they can’t find their way out, but because they encounter a mirage, unknowingly deviating from their intended route, inevitably leaving only bones buried in the sand!
But he quickly realized he was wrong, because out from the Light Gate stumbled a blood-soaked youth, his clothing dyed crimson by blood.
Behind the youth, a horde of mutant beasts of all sorts was following, bird and beast alike pouring out from the golden Light Gate.
Leading the charge was a ferocious bird of prey like a red-blooded eagle, but much larger than any eagle; even the largest Big Sheep Eagle on Earth wasn’t this size. With wings spread wide, it’s tens of meters long, blocking out the sky and sun.
This sight utterly frightened Chen Daozang because he could clearly feel that this mutant beast was far stronger than himself, and he had almost no power to resist it.
Whoosh!
Without any hesitation, Chen Daozang turned and ran!
As Chen Daozang attempted to flee, that blood-soaked youth spotted him and desperately ran towards him, shouting as he fled, “Help me! Take me with you!”
“What’s in it for me if I save you?”
Chen Daozang felt like cursing; this jinx, of all the directions to run, why run towards me, bringing more trouble upon me?
“If you save me, I will forever be grateful and reward you generously.” the Blue-clothed Youth quickly said.
“Follow me!”
Chen Daozang hesitated briefly, then inexplicably nodded in agreement, leading the blood-soaked youth back to the base, where he immediately activated the base’s self-destruct system.
If nothing impeded those mutant beasts, Chen Daozang believed he had some chance of escaping himself, although it was slim, he was familiar with the terrain.
However, bringing this burden along made it difficult, leaving him with no choice but to resolutely choose to destroy the base, using the explosion to momentarily hold off the beast horde behind, to buy just enough time to lead the burden away from danger.
At this time, Chen Daozang still had no idea that the one he saved was a youth cultivator from the Xuan Realm. If he knew, who knows what he would have thought.
But now wasn’t the time to think about that. Just after the two escaped the base, the beast horde led by the Flame Eagle arrived at the vicinity of the base, and the whole base exploded with a bang. The intense shockwave even stalled the Flame Eagle, while other weaker mutant beasts were sent tumbling by the shockwave.
“Quickly, go!”
Chen Daozang grabbed the Blue-clothed Youth, and the two turned into a stream of flowing light, disappearing into the vast desert in the blink of an eye, leaving no trace!
