Chapter 1368: No Way Out
BAAANG!
As the massive stone platform crashed into the turtle demon beast that was peacefully sleeping beneath it, everything suddenly seemed to go quiet, as nobody dared to move a single muscle. All remaining fully focused on the turtle demon beast now half buried beneath debris from the stone platform that shattered upon hitting its shell.
Rumble~!
The situation remained without any change for a few seconds, before a sudden movement from the turtle demon beast seemed to wake up everyone, as they wasted no time in trying to escape from the scene before the turtle demon beast fully woke up. Everyone understanding that the only reason they were still alive was because the turtle demon beast had not yet fully woken up and should still be in a rather confused state after suddenly being hit in the head by a large rock.
Of course, watching all of this playing out from afar, Chu Yang didn’t intend to stay around and wait for the turtle demon beast to wake. Understanding very well how terrifying someone in the Dao Seed Realm was from the few spars he had with his master in the past.
Even if he was far stronger than a normal Domain Lord Realm cultivator, there was no way for him to directly cross two major realms, that was simply far too large of a leap. Especially considering that the Dao Seed Realm could be considered a major transformation compared to past major realms due to the Immortal Soul Tribulation one would have to go through to reach the realm.
But… The path out of the secret realm was destroyed just now… How in the world am I supposed to leave the secret realm in such a situation!?
Frowning visibly as he clearly remembered how the gateway had been destroyed after the Soul Ascension Realm cultivator passed through the gate, Chu Yang guessed that the Soul Ascension Realm demon beast that had been chasing after him might have destroyed the gate on the other side and thus caused the gate inside the secret realm to collapse.
Now that this path out had been destroyed, he had absolutely no idea how to leave the secret realm.
Hm? That Soul Ascension Realm cultivator doesn’t seem that disturbed by the current situation…
As he continued moving further away from the location where the gateway had collapsed and the turtle demon beast was currently in the process of waking up, Chu Yang noticed the Soul Ascension Realm cultivator casual moving forward at a relatively slow speed followed by the Domain Lord Realm cultivators and a few of the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.
Not showing a single bit of worry about the terrifying demon beast that was currently waking up not too far behind them or the fact that the only path outside the secret realm had been destroyed-
Unless… There is more than one gateway connected to this secret realm and they know about it!
Narrowing both of his eyes as he realized the most likely reason for those people to be so calm even in such a dangerous situation, Chu Yang could not help relaxing a bit, as he slowed down a bit before turning around and following behind the group of cultivators from the Demon Mountain City as they moved deeper into the secret realm.
From the looks of things, the turtle demon beast might not be as dangerous as he had first thought considering how these people were acting. In the end, the only ones who would end up dead were likely the ones who had panicked when the stone platform collapsed and ran off in different direction…
ROOOOAR-!
It was just at that moment he heard the terrifying roar of what he suspected to be the turtle demon beast, before suddenly sensing the terrifying demon beast charging over towards him and the other cultivators.
Whoosh~
However, just as the turtle demon beast became visible a few thousand meters away from where he was, Chu Yang watched in shock, as a chain not different from the one that had been holding up the massive stone platform before it plummeted to the ground, manifested around the turtle demon beast-
BANG!
And the next second, the turtle demon beast reached the limits of the chain and was forcefully pulled back by a tremendous force.
ROAR! ROOOOOAR-!
Even though it was unwilling, the turtle demon beast could do nothing but stare at them filled with killing intent, as the chain dragged it back towards the location of the stone platform where it had been sleeping not long ago before it had been rudely awoken.
“Indeed, that turtle can’t leave the range of those three mountains. To think such a powerful demon beast was actually sealed in such a small space…”
“True, the one behind this secret realm should be someone at the Peak of the Earth Immortal Realm. Maybe even a legendary Celestial Immortal!”
“He, a Celestial Immortal? They aren’t that easy to find, let alone a secret realm belonging to a fallen Celestial Immortal. After all, those major powers would seize the opportunity the moment such a secret realm got discovered. Leaving no chance for people like us to enter it.”
“Don’t worry about all of that. For now, let’s first focus on getting out of here alive. Even if we know about the existence of a second gateway, its extremely dangerous and we did fail to enter it the last time we tried to breakthrough!”
Listening to the group of people from the Demon Mountain City, Chu Yang realized that the secret realm might be far more amazing than he first thought, while at the same time also getting a confirmation that this group of people did indeed have another way out of the secret realm.
More specifically, they had found another gateway.
Although… From their conversation, he could also tell that it wouldn’t be that easy to reach this gateway and just leave the secret realm. From the looks of it, it was going to be a quite challenging endeavor…
