Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough



Seeing the large rock tumbling down towards it, the mole demon beast at first wanted to ignore it and go straight through-

Roar!?

But just as it was about to do this, it realized that the rock was exactly the same poisonous spiritual rock that it had destroyed a week earlier!

Swoosh~

Remembering just how painful the past week had been due to it getting poisoned after destroying one of these special spiritual poisonous rocks, the mole demon beast didn't waste a single second before turning around and escaping out of the small tunnel before the rock had a chance to crash into it.

Although this did end up buying more time for both Chu Yang and Qing Yi to escape, the mole demon beast understood very well that this was a far better outcome compared to getting poisoned again. Especially considering that there was a very real possibility of Chu Yang and Qing Yi taking advantage of its weakened state due to poisoning to kill it!

For this reason, the mole demon beast patiently waited at the entrance to the tunnel for the rock to roll out and into the large tunnel. 

Bang!

RUMBLE-!

Unfortunately for the mole demon beast, the moment the rock in question tumbled out of the tunnel entrance, the force of it smashing into the already weakened wall of the larger tunnel, caused the larger tunnel to start collapsing directly on top of the mole demon beast.

ROAR!?

Not even giving it any chance to react, as it was buried beneath a mountain of rocks and dirt.

Even if this did not kill the mole demon beast, it inevitably ended up giving Chu Yang and Qing Yi even more time to escape up the smaller tunnel towards what they hopped to be an entrance leading to the surface, or at the very least somewhere close enough to the surface that they would be able to dig their way up by themselves…

"Hehe, looks like it didn't expect us to push down the rock. Let's push another rock down if it shows up again!" Smiling happily, unaware of the fact that the rock she had pushed down with the help of Chu Yang was filled with a special kind of poison, Qing Yi motioned towards another rock that had similarly been avoided by the mole demon beast when digging the tunnel appearing a few hundred meters ahead of them.

"Sure…" Feeling that something was off with how desperately the mole demon beast had tried to avoid getting hit by the rock, Chu Yang decided not to think too much about it for now and just agreed to Qing Yi's suggestion.

Just like that, Chu Yang and Qing Yi continued making their way up the small tunnel-

Rumble~ 

ROOOOAR!

Rolling a rock down towards the mole demon beast the moment it appeared. Not caring about the increasingly thick killing intent that the mole demon beast directed towards them.

In the end, this continued for over half an hour before the end of the tunnel finally came into view. Making both Chu Yang and Qing Yi let out a sigh of relief after continuing up for what felt like forever. Only now realizing just how deep underground they had been transported after going through the stone door in the underground ravine to escape from the horde of demon beasts without having to rely on the talismans that their master had left for them.

If not for the fact that they found this tunnel leading up and they could see a few tree branches sticking in through the tunnel entrance, they would have thought that the end of the tunnel would not lead them back to the surface, but instead into a brand-new tunnel created by the mole demon beast.

"Finally, I was honestly starting to doubt whether or not we had been transported into some kind of world filled with nothing but dirt and rocks…" Reaching the entrance and seeing the forest that spread out in front of her like an endless sea of green and the blue sky above, Qing Yi muttered this with an exhausted expression on her face.

Although she had already reached the Nascent Soul Realm, the last half hour of escaping was by far one of the hardest things she had experienced so far. Not because she had been using her movement technique to the limit over the past half hour, but because she and Chu Yang had been forced to stop dozens of times to push down massive rocks towards the mole demon beast approaching them.

At one point during their escape, she had tried using a little more power to push down one of these rocks, but this soon turned into a disaster, as she found out why the mole demon beast would always try its absolute best to avoid crashing into the rocks. In the end, the small amount of poison that had leaked from the crack she ended up creating cost her close to seventy percent of the qi inside her dantian to rapidly suppress before she could continue escaping.

Because of this, she was only left with a little more than ten percent of her qi when reaching the surface…

"First, let's get out of here before starting to relax!" 

On the other hand, Chu Yang was in a far more favorable position, as he was still far away from being exhausted like Qing Yi. Taking the initiative to carry the exhausted Qing Yi before escaping into the forest-

RUMBLE-!

Just in time before the mole demon beast emerged from the tunnel behind them filled with a terrifying killing intent that instantly sent any nearby demon beasts running away in terror!

ROOOOOAR!

Seeing that they had already escaped into the forest, the mole demon beast hesitated for a short moment at the entrance before the overwhelming killing intent that had engulfed its mind won over. Understanding very well that if it hesitated for too long, the scent trail of Qing Yi and Chu Yang would end up disappearing. Making it impossible for it to chase after them.

Bang! Bang!

As a result, it's large body soon crashed through the trees of the forest as it chased after Chu Yang and Qing Yi without showing the slightest bit of care towards the fact that doing something like this would inevitably end up alerting the surrounding demon beasts.

After all, in the mind of the mole demon beast that had spent its entire life wandering the underground world where the strongest demon beast it had encountered only reached the Nascent Soul Realm, it was the most powerful and there was no one who could challenge it!

In the end, this confidence made the mole demon beast underestimate the strength of the demon beast on the surface. Thinking that even if they were different, they would still be weaker. Even if it encountered someone it couldn't deal with, it always thought that it would just be able to bury into the ground if need be…

Roar? 

Unfortunately for the mole demon beast, its arrogant and loud way of chasing after Chu Yang and Qing Yi, ended up drawing the attention of a particularly powerful demon beast that just so happened to be sleeping in the path that Chu Yang and Qing Yi were escaping in…

"What is tha-"

Spotting the massive body of the demon beast that had just been woken up by the mole demon beast, Chu Yang froze on the spot as he felt the large demon beast looking over him for a short moment before turning to look in the direction of the approaching mole demon beast.

Even if it was only for a few seconds, the look that the demon beast gave him sent a shiver down his spine.

Chu Yang was already familiar with people in the Domain Lord Realm considering that the Star Shattering Sect had a few and his master was also in the Domain Lord Realm. For this reason, he had instantly realized that the large demon beast lazily laying on the ground in front of him was a Domain Lord Realm demon beast.

Not only that, but it was also a Domain Lord Realm demon beast that had comprehended a domain. Making it far more terrifying than an ordinary Domain Lord Realm Expert!

Swish-!

Knowing that the demon beast was not targeting them and was instead looking towards the approaching mole demon beast, Chu Yang didn't dare waste a single second before escaping.

Although he had already taken his master's talisman out and was prepared to use it the moment the Domain Lord Realm demon beast showed any signs of attacking, he still didn't feel fully confident that the talisman of his master had the ability to deal with the demon beast. 

After all, even if his master was in the later or middle stages of the Domain Lord Realm from what he knew. Dealing with a Domain Lord Realm demon beast in person and dealing with one through a talisman that had stored part of his power, were two completely different things!

For this reason, he wanted to leave and not take the risk if he had the chance…
