1452 Blood Tendrils (4)
"What... What is that!?"
At the same time Xuan Hao was calmly observing the situation and analyzing what was happening and the reason behind the overwhelmingly fast defeat of the Demon Lord Realm demonic cultivator, the Middle Stage Dao Seed Realm cultivator from the Blue Sea Empire was left shocked at the sight of the countless blood tendrils that seemed to manifest out of thin air in his eyes.
Although he had already noticed something unusual about the state of the demonic cultivator and the winged lion demon beast earlier, he had not been able to sense the existence of these blood tendrils numbering in the millions that completely covered everything within a few thousand meters of where the winged lion demon beast and the demonic cultivator were located.
For this reason, he was completely taken aback by their sudden appearance and could not help retreating out of instinct. Understanding that even though he could clearly sense the strength of these tendrils were far from enough to pose a threat to him, the fact that they had managed to remain hidden indicated that there were likely someone more powerful than him behind the scenes controlling these blood tendrils.
Luckily, he quickly calmed down again as his gaze turned towards the winged lion demon beast currently breaking through to the Sixth Tribulation of the Soul Ascension Realm.
This demon beast should be related to the Star Shattering Sect, the hidden ancient sect that he had only recently learnt about existing inside the borders of what could be considered the Blue Sea Empire's outer sphere of influence.
Knowing this, he also understood that there was no way that this hidden ancient sect would just allow a demonic cultivator to cause trouble inside their territory.
The reason why the battle had been allowed so far should have just been because the hidden ancient sect wanted to take advantage of the demonic cultivator to help promote the strength of their own demon beast.
Now that the demonic cultivator had become too strong to provide any further assistance and the one behind the scenes had decided to make a move, it was clear that one of the true elders of this hidden ancient sect was likely to make a move to deal with the demonic cultivator before they started becoming a problem.
Thinking about this, the Middle Stage Dao Seed Realm cultivator from the Blue Sea Empire could not help feeling a bit of anticipation about what was going to happen next. After all, it was well known that the lowest level of elders from hidden ancient sects had surpassed the level of most ancestor level figures in major powers.
Seeing such a figure make a move was a rare thing and something that would be extremely beneficial to someone like himself who had already reached the peak of his realm and was looking for an opportunity to break through to the Celestial Immortal Realm and join the true upper echelons of the Blue Sea Empire.
Swish-!
...
RUUUUMBLE-!
A few minutes before the winged lion demon beast began making its way back towards the Star Shattering Sect, Xuan Hao watched the blood tendril cocoon as it was swallowed up by the spatial collapse he had caused.
This was the plan he had come up with. Launching a single powerful attack to get rid of the demonic cultivator who had broken through to the Demon Lord Realm in a single go, upholding an image befitting of an ancient hidden sect when it came to dealing with such things.
Considering that the degree of shattering space was far beyond something that could be achieved by someone in the Dao Seed Realm or Earth Immortal Realm as it was called, it was certain that the one from the Blue Sea Empire and the demonic cultivator behind the scenes would both think that they were dealing with someone above the Dao Seed Realm. Having at least reached the Celestial Immortal Realm.
Given the effort expended by the demonic cultivator still hidden somewhere in the Frozen Wastelands, Xuan Hao hoped that the other party would be too weak to think about attacking after seeing the display of strength just now. Especially considering the profound comprehension of the Dao of Space he had displayed.
If the other party thought about the situation logically, they would understand that there would be no way for them to do anything to someone that strong with such a deep comprehension of the Dao of Space.
Not to mention, Xuan Hao also hoped that this demonic cultivator would help solidify the Star Shattering Sect's identity as a hidden ancient sect in the eyes of the demonic cultivators. After all, there was only so much Xuan Gui could do when it came to helping him in spreading this information considering her strength was still in the Demon Lord Realm...
Whoosh~
As his thoughts began to wander ever so slightly, Xuan Hao briefly sensed a powerful killing intent erupt from the depths of the Frozen Wastelands for a brief moment before everything calmed down again.
"This... Indeed, someone at the Demon King Realm..." Muttering this to himself as both of his eyes narrowed dangerously, Xuan Hao felt his entire body tense up as he focused his full attention on the Frozen Wasteland where the killing intent had erupted from.
However, after waiting another few minutes with a tense expression on his face, he slowly began calming down again. Understanding that the other party had decided to not make a move.
