Starting to explore the forest with the help of his divine sense now that he had managed to bypass the Soul Ascension Realm demon beasts at the edge of the forest, it did not take long before another demon beast appeared to block his path.
However different from the demon beasts at the edge of the forest, this demon beast had appeared directly in front of him. Making it impossible for him to hide himself in ti before getting discovered.
Roar?
"…"
Observing the demon beast that had shown up, Xuan Hao could not help letting out a sigh of relief after noticing that the strength of the demon beast had only reached the Domain Lord Realm.
Swsih-!
Ptsh~
Not giving the demon beast any ti to alert the flock of Soul Ascension Realm demon beasts located at the edge of the forest!
Thumb~
Watching the lifeless body of the demon beast falling to the ground, Xuan Hao didn't waste any ti before moving deeper into the forest. Not wanting to wait around for the demon beasts living in the forest to be attracted to the sll of blood from the now dead demon beast in front of him.
Even if the corpse of the demon beast had only reached the Domain Lord Realm, consuming its flesh would still be beneficial for demon beasts in the Soul Ascension Realm and without a doubt, the demon beasts on the edge of the forests would soon be attracted to the sll of blood from the now dead demon beast. Even if he used his Dao of Fire to burn it, it would already be too late. Not to ntion, using the Dao of Fire would inevitably attract far more attention compared to the Sword Dao…
Ignoring the few loud roars that echoed out behind him from the direction of the demon beast he had killed and assuming that it should just be the demon beasts who had started fighting over the corpse and who got to devour it, Xuan Hao soon ca to a small clearing with a stone pedestal in the middle of it.
"…"
Not entering the clearing directly, Xuan Hao could not help feeling that sothing was wrong with the clearing itself. After all, a lone stone pedestal in the middle of a demon beast infested forest that had sohow managed to survive completely unhard until now.
Although he could not sense anything with his divine sense or domain from the clearing, outside of a small scroll placed on top of the pedestal, he still couldn't shake off the feeling that sothing was wrong. Especially considering that the scroll on top of the stone pedestal was completely empty.
Whoosh~
Deciding to test things out by throwing a small rock on the stone pedestal, Xuan Hao watched as the small rock hit the pedestal before being reduced to nothing. Disappearing like it had never even existed in the first place.
Well… This is not suspicious at all…
Having observed the entire ordeal with his divine sense and domain to try and catch anything that might happen, Xuan Hao could not help feeling a sense of awe as he looked towards the stone pedestal.
Although it had only been for a brief mont, he did manage to see a small symbol had flashed on one side of the pedestal before the space around the small rock began violently twisting before collapsing in on itself. Destroying the space around the rock and the rock together with it. Leaving a small scar on the space where the rock had once been for a short mont.
Spatial collapse?!
Seeing this weird and violent twisting of space before it ultimately collapsed in on itself and the target locked inside, the only thing Xuan Hao could think of was the spatial collapse described through the Divine Void Eyes.
It had to be known, even with his current strength, he could at most cause a partial collapse of space by relying on his Divine Void Eyes and his Dao Domain Lord Realm cultivation. Archiving a true collapse of space was sothing that he had no way to accomplish on his own with his current understanding of the Dao of space.
Not to ntion, the strength required to cause a true spatial collapse was sothing he lacked at the mont. After all shuttling through space with different movent techniques or shattering space and using it to teleport was sothing completely different from causing space to collapse.
A true spatial collapse was sothing that would permanently leave a scar on the world itself, that would take thousands- if not tens of thousands of years to heal without the aid of soone skilled in the Dao of Space!
Although the collapse that the stone pedestal had caused was not a true spatial collapse and should instead be a partial spatial collapse, it was still not sothing he dared to underestimate. Understanding very well that he had no way to fight back if he ended up trapped inside a spatial collapse with his current understanding of the Dao of space, even if it was only a partial collapse of space…
Whoosh~
For this reason, Xuan Hao decided to sit down and throw another rock towards the stone pedestal.
Rumble~
Watching closely as the space around the rock began twisting violently before collapsing in on itself, erasing the rock from existence.
Whoosh~
Sitting down before throwing another rock towards the stone pedestal, Xuan Hao observed everything about the space around the rock with his divine sense and domain. Making sure to not miss out on anything as the third rock was soon erased from existence.
"This… Isn't this a perfect place to comprehend the Dao of Space…?" Mumbling this to himself as his eyes remained focused on the stone pedestal in the middle of the clearing, Xuan Hao realized just how precious this stone pedestal was. Not for the empty scroll on top of it, but because of its defensive ability.
As long as he comprehended the Dao of Space that was perfectly demonstrated by this stone pedestal, he would undoubtably be able to take another step forward when it ca to the Dao of Space!
…
ROOOAR-!
Not more than a few minutes after leaving the corpse of the demon beast, a loud roar spread throughout the forest before a large demon beast landed on the ground right next to the corpse. The killing intent it exuded spread out in all directions as it searched for the one responsible for the death of the demon beast in front of it.
Roar-!
Rooooar!
Roar!
Following behind this demon beast, close to a dozen other demon beasts appeared around the corpse with excited expressions on their faces as they looked greedily towards the corpse of the demon beast in front of them. No doubt they all wanted to devour the corpse to increase their own strength.
ROOOOOAR!
However, before any of these demon beasts had a chance to jump forward and try to devour the corpse of the Domain Lord Realm demon beast, the demon beast that had been looking around to search for the killer of the dead demon beast let out a terrifying roar that instantly made the approaching demon beasts freeze in place. None of the daring to take a single step forward, let alone attempt to devour the corpse in front of them.
Even if it was only for a split second, all of these demon beasts had sensed the strength inherent in the roar just now far surpassing their own. Making it blatantly obvious that the other party was far stronger than them!
Whoosh~
Whoosh~
Whoosh~
Because of this, these demon beasts that had only co for a possible free al, did not waste any ti before turning around and leaving. The only thing they could think of, was how to run away from the terrifying demon beast that had placed itself beside the corpse as fast as possible. No longer thinking about the possible increase in strength they might experience after devouring the corpse.
Roar…
Different from the large number of demon beasts that had shown up to devour the corpse of the dead Domain Lord Realm demon beast, the powerful demon beast did not have this thought in mind, as it instead just let out a sad roar while looking down at the dead body filled with sadness.
If Xuan Hao had been there, he would have easily found out that the dead demon beast resembled a smaller version of the powerful demon beast that had just managed to scare away the large number of demon beasts.
Drawing the conclusion that these two demon beasts were related with each other from this, was a rather simple task. The only problem with this conclusion, was the fact that it ant he had unintentionally ended up offending a powerful demon beast strong enough to scare away a group of Soul Ascension Realm demon beasts by itself!
ROAR!
Like this, unknown to Xuan Hao, a powerful demon beast began searching for the killer behind the death of the small Domain Lord Realm demon beast…
