Chapter 1025 Leaving for the Sky Empire

Chapter 1025 Leaving for the Sky Empire

Arriving in front of the gate leading into the massive city, it did not take long before one of the guards stationed at the gate recognized the border guard and came running over.

"Senior! Why are you here!? Did something happen at the border?"

"Yes, an ancient demon beast began to awaken below the surface of the main river that runs through parts of the Sky Empire."

Listening in on the conversation between the two as they began to discuss what had happened and how long it would take to resolve now that this Senior Peng had taken action to deal with the ancient demon beast, Xuan Hao realized that he would at least have to stay in the Blue Sea Empire for a few days. Unless he decided to risk trying to pass through the place where the battle between the ancient demon beast and the expert from the Blue Sea Empire was likely about to start.

Or I could go through one of the adjacent empires...

Shaking his head as he thought about this, Xuan Hao decided to leave the border guard to do her own thing and made his way inside the massive city.

Even if he didn't intend to stay in the Blue Sea Empire, he was still curious about the difference between a large empire like the Blue Sea Empire and the Sky Empire.

In the end, he ended up spending the next half hour wandering around the entrance of the city browsing the different shops filled with all sorts of artifacts, spiritual herbs and other rare materials that would normally be hard to find inside the Sky Empire. Not only However, different from any of the other branches of the Explorer Union that he had seen inside the Sky Empire, this branch only that, but he also ended up stumbling on a branch from the Explorer Union located close to the entrance of the city.

However, different from any of the other branches of the Explorer Union that he had seen inside the Sky Empire, this branch only specialized in selling different potions and pills made by alchemists.

After chatting with one of the store clerks, he also managed to learn that it was not the main branch inside the city but was just one of countless smaller branches of the Explorer Union Branch inside the city and was only in charge of selling different items and products related to alchemy.

Other than that, he also found out that the main branch of the Explorer Union inside of the city was guarded by someone in the Earth Immortal Realm. Making him once again realize just how big the difference between a place like the Blue Sea Empire and the Sky Empire was.

...

"Hmph! To think one of those old, fossilized creatures actually managed to wake up after going to sleep... Haaa... And I was just about to return to the capital for the upcoming auction hosted by the Explorer Union..."

Further down the river that Xuan Hao was following back in the direction of the Sky Empire, the Senior Peng that the border guard had gone full fan girl mode over, was complaining with a visible frown on his face, while looking down at an enormous snake head below him that had just popped up from the river below.

Even from a glance, it was obvious that the size of the demon beast below him was far too large for the river below, the head alone almost taking up the entire width of the more than a hundred-kilometer-wide river.

"How on earth did you even manage to drift all the way here in the first place? Or are you perhaps trying to swim inland and come from the ocean? If you only accidentally ended up here from the ocean, I have to ask you to leave!" Not showing any signs of fear or panic when faced with the absurdly large snake beneath him, Senior Peng just casually asked this as he seemingly waited for the large creature to respond.

"Sssss~ Human, I come from the ocean and have seen far more powerful creatures than you, little creatures, do you really think I would leave just because you tell me? Not to mention, the inland sea is said to be filled with all sorts of precious things that will make my evolution smoother!" Unexpectedly, the large snake responded to Senior Peng floating in the air above it. Different from other mindless demon beasts, it could fully communicate and was no different from a human in terms of intelligence.

Unfortunately for Senior Peng, the response he got from the large snake was not the response he wanted...

"Haaa... I see, looks like there is no way out of a fight then... And here I hoped I would be able to end things early..."

RUMBLE-!

Not wasting any time after having confirmed that the large snake demon beast had no intention of leaving, Senior Peng unleashed all of his power as he attacked the large snake demon beast without a second thought-

BOOOOOM-!

Giving it close to no time to react, as it was suddenly hit directly on the head. Sending it back down beneath the water.
