Chapter 1097 First Time Causing a True Spatial Collapse

Roar?

Seeing Xuan Hao suddenly appearing in front of it, the illusory beast let out a confused roar as it came to a stop before it collided with him. Stopping no more than a hundred meters away from him.

"Huh? This..."

At the same time, the unknown cultivator who had been chasing after the illusory beast also came to a sudden stop as he also discovered Xuan Hao who had suddenly appeared in front of him and the illusory beast without any warning.

Even if he was originally chasing after the illusory beast and had a perfect chance to attack it now that it had come to a stop, he also understood that doing so might open him up to being ambushed to the unfamiliar person that had just popped up in front of him.

No matter how confident he was in his current strength inside the Soul Ascension Realm, he had no intentions of possibly putting his life on the line when there was no reason to do so. Instead, it was far more reasonable to first assess the strength of the person that had suddenly appeared in front of both him and the illusory beast before deciding on what to do.

At the very least, he was certain that Xuan Hao was at least someone close to the Peak of the Soul Ascension Realm. After all, without this level of strength, it would have been impossible for him to remain hidden from his and the illusory beast's senses!

"..."

Not aware of the thoughts going through the head of the unknown cultivator and the illusory beast as they both stared at him in surprise, Xuan Hao could not help smiling wryly to himself as he wondered how to get out of his current predicament.

Considering that neither of the two had attacked him yet, he might be able to use the opportunity to sneak away before they recovered from the shock of his sudden appearance- Diiscover new stories at novelhall.com

Roar!

However, before he had the chance to sneak away, the illusory beast woke up from its surprised state as it let out a loud roar and lunged towards him. Intent on getting rid of the obstacle blocking its path and escape before the unknown cultivator behind it took the chance to attack it.

Whoosh~!

As the illusory beast lunged towards him filled with killing intent, Xuan Hao understood that he wouldn't be able to sneak away from the scene and decided to use his dao domain to forcibly push back against the illusory beast-

Bang!

Roar!?

Roar?

Seeing the space in front of it starting to collapse, the illusory beast momentarily stopped its attack as it looked at the small collapsing space the size of an apple that had appeared in front of it filled with confusion. Not understanding what Xuan Hao was planning to do.

Rumble~

However, this confusion soon turned into fear as the small collapsing space rapidly expanded-

ROOOOAR?!

And before the illusory beast could react, it felt a terrifying force taking hold of its body before it found itself being dragged into the expanding void that now covered almost everything in its sight.

Roa-

Not a second later, the entirety of the illusory beast was swallowed up by the collapsing space. Erasing it from existence before it could muster a defense. Not that it would have made that much of a difference considering that it had no way to resist the spatial collapse with its Dao of Illusions.

RUUUMBLE-!

Following the illusory beast being swallowed, the spatial collapse continued to expand for a few seconds longer before the laws of the world seemed to kick into action and forcibly suppress it from expanding any further. Forcing it to shrink down to its original size of a small apple where it ended up in a state similar to the collapsed space he had seen back in the mystic realm, a small scar on the world that wouldn't heal for a long time without any outside interference.

"..."

Seeing the sheer power of the true spatial collapse, Xuan Hao could not help feeling a shiver run down his spine.

Although he had been the one to trigger the true spatial collapse just now, he had also clearly felt that he had no control over the collapse after he had first started it.

If not for the fact that the rules of the world had forcibly suppressed the spatial collapse from growing any larger, it might have ended up swallowing him as well, something he had not really thought about when he had first decided to test out the true spatial collapse on the illusory beast.

Not only that, but the energy consumed by triggering the true spatial collapse had almost completely dried up his dantian. Only leaving behind ten or so percent of his qi. Let alone fighting in his current state, even escaping would become a rather difficult thing if he had to escape for more than a few hours!

At the very least, from looking at the unknown cultivator's terrified expression, he felt that this shouldn't be a problem. Maybe he could even use the opportunity to obtain some more information about the Valley of Illusory Beasts from him.

On a side note, he would have to be extremely careful when using the true spatial collapse in the future. Not only because it used up almost of his qi, but also because it might end up killing him...
