Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

Chapter 1437  Guardian of the Source Crystal

Thinking about the guardian of the source crystal that seemed to be missing for some unknown reason, Chu Yang suddenly felt like something was happening behind him, causing him to momentarily turn around to see if those chasing after him had used some kind of special movement technique to forcibly increase their speed so they could catch up with him faster.

"Huh? That is… A demon beast!?"

However, instead of the Domain Lord Realm cultivators chasing him using some kind of secret technique to increase their speed to close the distance between them faster, he instead bore witness to a massive snake like demon beast emerging from the side of the towering mountain that the ruins were located at the base of.

Not just that, but the strength of the demon beast that had just emerged was clearly far above the Domain Lord Realm. Having clearly stepped into the Soul Ascension Realm.

But… That was not what worried him. Instead, it was the fact that he could clearly feel the divine sense of this terrifying demon beast locking on to him as he continued moving farther away from the ruins and the towering mountains.

Even worse, it was clear that the other Domain Lord Realm cultivators weren't being shown the slightest bit of care by this terrifying demon beast. Instead, he was the only one who had managed to get the attention of this terrifying demon beast! n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

However, the thing that shocked him the most was not the emergence of this powerful demon beast, as he had already realized that it should be the guardian beast of the source crystal he had just taken away.

Instead, the thing that shocked him the most was the reactions of the Domain Lord Realm cultivators chasing after him, as it was clear that none of them were surprised with this development.

On the other hand, it looked more like those chasing after him were more annoyed than anything else. Not showing the slightest bit of fear in the face of a Soul Ascension Realm demon beast, something that Chu Yang could not help finding incredibly baffling, as he full well understood that there was no one present among the Domain Lord Realm cultivators chasing after him who were capable of fighting the Soul Ascension Realm demon beast and guardian of the source crystal.

Even working together, it would be impossible to deal with this Soul Ascension Realm demon beast, as the gap between the Soul Ascension Realm and the Domain Lord Realm wasn't something simple to cross. Especially so considering that the Soul Ascension Realm demon beast didn't seem to just be at the First Tribulation of the Soul Ascension Realm, but instead seemed to have already broken through to the Second Tribulation of the Soul Ascension Realm. Making it even more impossible for someone in the Domain Lord Realm to face off against it.

Is there perhaps something that I'm not aware of regarding the guardian of the source crystal?

Filled with bewilderment as he watched the terrifying snake demon beast crash through countless ruins as it landed in the ruins at the base of the mountain before it began rapidly moving towards him at a speed far surpassing that of any of the Domain Lord Realm cultivators chasing after him, Chu Yang could not help thinking that there was something that these Domain Lord Realm cultivators were aware of that he wasn't, something that made them confident that the guardian of the source crystal wouldn't harm them.

But… What is it…?

Unaware of what to do as he watched the guardian of the source crystal close the distance between them in a matter of seconds, Chu Yang could only draw out one of his master's lifesaving talismans in preparation for using it against the guardian of the source crystal.

Although he was reluctant to use one of only three remaining talismans considering that he had just stepped inside the secret realm and had no idea what kind of dangers awaited him inside the secret realm and the fact that he would need at least one to save himself after leaving the secret realm, Chu Yang also understood that there was no way for him to give up something as precious as a source crystal.

Even if it did mean he would only be left with two of his master's talismans, he would just quietly cultivate for the next half year and wait until he could leave the secret realm.

The source crystal was more than worth it, even if he had to give up on other opportunities inside of the secret realm.

Of course, he didn't entirely have to give up on the opportunities inside of the secret realm and could still try and go for the safer places that didn't involve anywhere near the same danger as what he was currently facing while exploring a previously unexplored part of the secret realm.

Though the treasures and opportunities wouldn't be able to compare to what he could get from exploring the new territory of the secret realm, it was still incredibly precious when compared to anything he could get from exploring and adventuring outside of the secret realm.

Whoosh~!

With that in mind, Chu Yang didn't hesitate as he decisively threw out the talisman given by his master. Not having time to investigate the reason behind why the rest of the Domain Lord Realm cultivators weren't afraid of the source crystal's guardian…

RUMBLE~!

As a result, a terrifying pressure soon erupted from the seemingly ordinary piece of paper thrown out by Chu Yang, causing even the space around the paper to start twisting in ways impossible for anyone who hadn't comprehended the Dao of Space to comprehend.

"Huh?"

"What is that…?"

"This terrifying pressure is even above that of the ancestor…!"

"Impossible! That is a protective talisman refined by someone above the Soul Ascension Realm!"

Seeing the talisman thrown out and simultaneously feeling the terrifying pressure that suddenly seemed to descend upon the surroundings, the Domain Lord Realm cultivators chasing after Chu Yang all froze on the spot, while one among them seemed to have realized what the simple looking piece of paper was, causing his formerly calm expression to become one clouded with fear.

Whoosh-!

Wasting no time, this Domain Lord Realm cultivator, who happened to be the powerful Eighth Stage Domain Lord Realm cultivator who had been winning against the Ninth Stage Domain Lord Realm cultivator earlier, turned around and took out a strange looking artifact before turning into a stream of light and disappearing into the distance in the next second. Completely unaffected by the twisting space that made it impossible for the rest of the Domain Lord Realm cultivators to move or escape like he had done.

Swish-!

Not affected by the escape of the single Domain Lord Realm cultivator, the talisman paper seemed to find its target, as the terrifying pressure focused onto the Soul Ascension Realm demon beast. Giving the Domain Lord Realm cultivators who had been chasing after Chu Yang a chance to move again-

RUMMMMBLE-!

"N-Nooo!"

"P-Please spare-"

Unfortunately, even if they had regained their ability to move again, it was useless, as the talisman paper ignited the moment it had found its target. Turning into a terrifying sword that seemingly tore through space itself. Wiping out anything that stood in its path before arriving directly in front of the Soul Ascension Realm demon beast and guardian of the source crystal, who had not been able to move a single muscle ever since the talisman was activated.

In the next second, the terrifying sword that had manifested and what could be considered a serious attack from a Late Stage Dao Domain Lord Realm cultivator hit its target. Almost instantaneously erasing the poor guardian of the source crystal from existence-

BOOOOOM-!

However, this was not the end, as the remaining power of the sword continued forward without anything to block it. Killing all of the Domain Lord Realm cultivators it encountered along the way before finally crashing into the towering mountain that the guardian of the source crystal had emerged from.

Roar?! ROOOOAR!?

In response, a terrifying roar emerged from the interior of the towering mountain followed by a terrifying aura erupting in an attempt to resist the sword-

BANG!

Unfortunately, it only managed to resist for a little over a second before it was similarly cut through. Allowing the sword strike to directly crash into the towering mountain-

Crack~!

And with the last remaining bit of power inside the sword strike, it cleanly cut the towering mountain in half, while leaving behind a terrifying scar stretching for more than a hundred thousand meters across the formerly empty grass plains.

The terrifying energy of the attack that had taken place still lingering. Impossible to erase with ordinary means.

"I… I just wanted to deal with the guardian of the source crystal and those Domain Lord Realm cultivators…"

Seeing this destruction left behind by his master's talisman, Chu Yang could not help muttering this to himself with a somewhat wry smile on his face. Only now realizing that it was clear that the strength inside the talismans given to him by his master seemed to differ, as this one was clearly stronger than the ones he had used in the past…
