Chapter 1410 Sneaking into the Star Shattering Sect's Territory (1)
Being left alone, Chu Yang didn't waste much time standing around and directly began moving deeper inside the ancient ruins to have a look around the place and see if he could find anything useful from exploring the ruins. Hoping that he could at the very least encounter a few demon beasts that would allow him to further increase his combat experience against those Domain Lord Realm demon beasts, as the Domain Lord Realm figures he had fought most since breaking through to the Domain Lord Realm himself were other humans.
Although the difference in strength between normal human cultivators and demon beasts wasn't that big, there was a clear difference in how the two fought, as demon beast were far more focused on a far more brutal kind of fighting when compared to most human cultivators.
Of course, there was also the fact that the size and strength of demon beast's bodies generally made them harder to kill compared to humans, who in turn caried different kinds of artifacts and talismans that they used when fighting to defend and attack.
With that in mind, Chu Yang's main purpose for entering the ancient ruins soon became focused on trying to find some of the powerful demon beasts that should be lurking inside the ancient ruins. Changing it from trying to find any treasures or hidden artifacts, as he noticed shortly after starting his exploration of the ruins that everything had long since been picked clean by cultivators who had come before him.
All things considered, it was not really that surprising, as even though the Deep Pit City could be considered to have only recently been established, that was when compared to some of the older and somewhat ancient cities inside the neutral territory. In the end, it had still been around a few hundred years at this point in time.
Meaning that other cultivators had long since had the opportunity to pick clean anything of value in the safer parts of the ancient ruins. Leaving only the more dangerous ruins that even Soul Ascension Realm cultivators feared left with possible treasures.
…
Squeak?
At the same time that Chu Yang began his exploration of the ancient ruins below the Deep Pit City in the neutral territories bordering the fallen Sky Empire, the rabbit demon beast that had been searching through the demonic cultivators in the Frozen Wastelands bordering the Star Shattering Sect's territory let out a surprised squeaking sound as it noticed a particular demonic cultivator in the True Demon Realm hastily moving across the expanse of white.
Normally, this would not have been out of the ordinary and the rabbit demon beast would have ignored this person, but what had caused it to let out a surprised sound was because it clearly recognized the demonic cultivator as the exalted existence described by the other demonic cultivators that it had encountered so far. None other than the target that its master had tasked it with finding before figuring out what he was up to.
With that in mind, taking full advantage of the fact that it was completely blended in with the surrounding environment, the rabbit demon beast slowly began chasing the demonic cultivator from afar while keeping a distance where it could just barely hear him talking.
"Have to get to the border… Fast…"
In the end, because of this, the rabbit demon beast ended up hearing him mumbling something about moving towards the border to himself… And looking at the direction that he was moving in, the rabbit demon beast realized that the border he was talking about was none other than the border that the Star Shattering Sect was sharing with the Frozen Wastelands.
Although… Already having learnt of the barrier that his master had established in that area. Preventing any demonic cultivators from crossing that border, the rabbit demon beast could not help feeling a bit confused as to why the demonic cultivator was suddenly moving towards that barrier.
After all, outside of the existence of the barrier not being well known among the different powers that bordered the Star Shattering Sect, the barrier itself was rather well known among the demonic cultivators that had tried attacking the territory of the Star Shattering Sect in the past.
In the end, it was well known among all of the demonic cultivators that only those in the Demon Lord Realm would stand a chance trying to pass through that barrier, while anyone below that would almost certainly end up dead.
With all of that in mind, why did this demonic cultivator still dare thinking about trying to cross over the barrier and try entering the territory of the Star Shattering Sect?
Filled with confusion about this matter, the rabbit demon beast continued to discreetly follow behind the demonic cultivator, while at the same time sending a message to its master through a communication talisman about the entire situation.
Although it couldn't yet speak, it was still more than capable of sending a message through a communication talisman, as the intelligence of the rabbit demon beast had long since surpassed that of ordinary humans with its cultivation reaching the Soul Ascension Realm.
Even the matter of speaking wasn't entirely impossible for it to learn, it was just that the rabbit demon beast didn't want to bother using its time to learn how to speak. After all, it had not really encountered any problems not being able to use the human language so far and was more than capable of commanding its subordinates.
Even the human subordinate it had taken in was more than capable of following its command.
…
"The area ahead should be the border of the newly risen sect, the Star Shattering Sect… If I can pass through the barrier that was placed in that place, I should be able to enter the territory of the Star Shattering Sect and hide there before sneaking into the Blue Sea Empire and finding a more permanent location to stay hidden.
The only problem is that the barrier in this place is close to impossible for someone with my strength to break through, but… Going through the Onyx Empire is not an option with the Blue Sea Empire around and any other nearby kingdoms bordering the Frozen Wastelands are far too difficult to enter without being discovered…"
Whispering this to himself with a somewhat uneasy expression on his face as he stood before the barrier that was standing between the Frozen Wastelands and the Star Shattering Sect's territory, the child of the Frozen Wastelands Demon King felt a shiver run down his spine. Understanding that he was about to do something that could very well end up costing him his life.
But… For his beloved father, he was willing to take on this journey. Knowing that if he stayed behind in the Frozen Wasteland, he was likely to end up dead at the hands of those vicious Demon Kings who had killed his siblings whenever they were about to become strong enough to act as a support for their father in the Frozen Wastelands.
Thinking about this, the young man steeled his resolve before stepping into the dreaded blizzard that had long since become known and feared by the demonic cultivators in this area. Knowing that even Peak True Demon Realm demonic cultivators like himself had ended up dying trying to pass through this blizzard that formed a natural barrier in the past.
The main reason was that he was planning on relying on the lifesaving treasures that his father had left for him to get through the current situation.
Although he understood that this would leave him defenseless after he passed through the blizzard and entered the Star Shattering Sect's territory, he was confident in being able to hide himself away after entering the territory of the Star Shattering Sect.
The main reason for this confidence coming from the fact that there was currently an ancestor of the Blue Sea Empire inside the Onyx Empire as far as he had managed to gather over the past few months. Allowing him to feel confident that any Demon King planning to kill him would end up first having to face off against this Celestial Immortal Realm Ancestor. Giving him more than enough time to move deeper into the territory of the Blue Sea Empire.
Even if the Blue Sea Empire was not that powerful when compared to the entire Frozen Wastelands, it was by no means weak, and he felt confident it would be able to provide him a safe place to slowly cultivate until he became strong enough to support his father in the future. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
At the same time, he also understood that him secretly entering the Blue Sea Empire would prove to be a fatal flaw for the Blue Sea Empire, as he would, in the future, be able to land a deadly blow to the Blue Sea Empire from the inside when his father began to officially focus on defeating this empire.
