Chapter 668: Terrifying New Enemy
Bang!
Barely managing to knock back the demonic cultivator that was trying its best to break through the Frost Guardian Formation protecting and strengthening her, the sect master of the Ascendant Frost Hall could not help frowning.
Fighting with the demonic cultivator was by no means something that she could continue doing. Even after fighting for only a few short minutes, she had almost fully exhausted the energy of the Frost Guardian Formation after forcing the demonic cultivator back just now.
“Hehe~ Looks like those elders of yours won’t be able to keep supporting this formation of yours for much longer- Hm?”
Hearing the mocking voice of the demonic cultivator before seeing him suddenly stop before looking back in the direction of the Frozen Wasteland that he had come from.”
“This is… More demonic cultivators!?”
Looking in the same direction as the demonic cultivator, the sect master of the Ascendant Frost Hall could not help showing a look of despair upon noticing several demonic cultivators appearing in the distance. Even worse, all of them had a similar pair of wings indicating that they had at least reached the same realm as the demon she had barely been able to fight over the last few minutes with the help of her sect’s formation.
Now that a group of these demonic cultivators appeared, the sect master of the Ascendant Frost Hall understood very well that there would be no way for her to resist them. Even buying time for the elders and disciples to evacuate was not an option.
“…”
Knowing this, the sect master of the Ascendant Frost Hall could not help looking towards the entrance of the mystic realm that was located just outside the border of the Frost Guardian Formation.
Although not inside the formation itself, it would not be too hard to evacuate the sect inside the mystic realm without getting caught by the demonic cultivators. The only problem was… Other than the lucky disciple that had managed to find his way back out of the mystic realm, they had close to no knowledge of just how dangerous it was inside!
But then again… Entering the mystic realm for a chance at survival would be a far better option compared to dying at the hands of demonic cultivators!
Turning to look towards the demonic cultivator that had stopped attacking her and instead focused his attention on the approaching demonic cultivators, the sect master of the Ascendant Frost Hall secretly contacted one of the Nascent Soul elders helping maintain the formation before instructing him to begin evacuating the disciples and elders into the mystic realm.
Whoosh~
Not daring to waste any time after hearing what the sect master said, the elder in question quickly stopped supporting the formation before starting to gather up the elders and disciples in preparation for entering the mystic realm when the formation broke.
In the end, this was the only time that they would be able to escape, as opening a small path in the formation for them to escape through would inevitably be a weak point that the demonic cultivator floating above could take advantage of.
At least, when the formation broke, it would obscure the divine sense and view of the sect and those inside for a short moment. Giving the disciples and elders time to escape into the mystic realm before the demonic cultivator could catch them-
BOOOM!
However, before anything more could happen, a loud explosion could be heard in the distance, as one of the demonic cultivators flying over suddenly exploded mid-air before turning into a stream of blood that quickly flew into the distance.
“Wha-!?”
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Not even having enough time to comprehend what happened, both the sect master of the Ascendant Frost Hall and the cultivator she had been fighting watched with disbelief as the group of powerful demonic cultivators all exploded before turning into stream of blood that made their way back inside the Frozen Wasteland that the group of demonic cultivators had come from.
Swish~
Not a second later, a new figure appeared from the Frozen Wasteland before devouring the streams of blood that the group of demonic cultivators had turned into before smiling with ecstasy.
“Third… Third Stage of the Demonic Transformation!”
Before the sect master of the Ascendant Frost Hall could say or do anything, the demonic cultivator in the air above the Ascendant Frost Hall muttered this to himself as a fearful expression appeared on his face.
Although he would have a chance to reach the Third Demonic Transformation after devouring the cultivators of the Ascendant Frost Hall, the demonic cultivator understood very well just how big the difference between the Second Demonic Transformation and the Third Demonic Transformation was.
Even if he had no clue about this, the fact that the other party had just casually killed a group of demonic cultivators in the Second Demonic Transformation Realm should be more than enough for him to understand…
Whoosh-!
Not daring to waste any time, the demonic cultivator directly used a forbidden technique before escaping in the opposite direction with a speed far surpassing what someone is his realm should be capable of.
Sacrificing some of his lifespan and cultivation base was a small price to pay if he could escape from his current life and death situation.
After all, the demonic cultivator understood better than anyone else what would happen if he got caught by the other party!
“This coward…”
Not knowing what to say after seeing how fast the demonic cultivator fled, the sect master of the Ascendant Frost Hall smiled wryly as she turned her attention towards the terrifying demonic cultivator in the distance.
If he continues staying like this, I should have enough time to lower the formation and-
Whoosh-!
Before she even had time to finish her train of thought, the demonic cultivator that was still far away suddenly appeared a short distance away from the Ascendant Frost Hall.
“Want to try and escape like that little fellow? Don’t worry, that won’t be happening… Not to mention, I already placed a blood imprint on that little guy’s body, so he won’t be able to escape after I finish up devouring the blood of you little insects!”
Hearing the demonic voice of what could only be described as some sort of demonic creature that had crawled out from the abyss, the sect master of the Ascendant Frost Hall could not stop herself from shivering fearful. Only now realizing that the person in front of her no longer resembled a human.
Although demonic cultivators who had reached the First and Second Demonic Transformation Realm could transform parts of their bodies for a certain period of time, they could not fully take on the form of a demon like a demonic cultivator in the Third Stage of the Demonic Transformation.
Not only could a demonic cultivator in the Third Demonic Transformation Realm keep himself transformed for longer, but the time that the transformation lasted would slowly increase the stronger the demonic cultivator grew.
After the demonic cultivator could permanently keep his demonic form active, he would be able to attempt breaking through to the True Demon Realm!
The demonic cultivator currently in front of the Ascendant Frost Hall had already reached this stage and could be considered at the final stage before the True Demon Realm!
Of course, the sect master of the Ascendant Frost Hall had no idea just how strong the demonic cultivator in front of her was. All she knew, was that the demonic cultivator was more than strong enough to easily destroy her Ascendant Frost Hall!
“Well then, goodbye little human- Hm!?”
Just as the demonic cultivator was about to make his move and destroy the formation of the Ascendant Frost that had already started cracking apart due to the sheer amount of stress it had been under just earlier, he narrowed his eyes before turning to look in the direction that the demonic cultivator from earlier had just escaped in.
“Someone killed that demonic cultivator and erased my blood imprint!? To erase my blood imprint with such ease… The other party should at least be someone in the Seventh Stage of the Domain Lord Realm!”
“…”
Not daring to say anything as she heard what the demonic cultivator said, the sect master of the Ascendant Frost Hall could not help praying that the Domain Lord Realm Expert that the demonic cultivator mentioned would come over and deal with the demonic cultivator about to destroy her sect!
…
Ptsh!
Having just killed a demonic cultivator comparable to a Peak Nascent Soul Realm cultivator using some sort of forbidden technique to escape from the direction of the Ascendant Frost Hall, Xuan Hao could not help frowning as he felt a powerful imprint left behind inside the body of the demonic cultivator.
Fwoosh!
Erasing the imprint with his domain, Xuan Hao narrowed his eyes before staring in the direction of the Ascendant Frost Hall.
Not to mention the person who left behind the imprint, even the demonic cultivator he had just killed should be more than strong enough to destroy a sect like the Ascendant Frost Hall!
“Looks like your sect might be in trouble, you should make your way over on your own, I will go ahead to check out what happened.”
Whoosh-!
Not wasting any more time after saying this to the second elder and putting him down on the ground, Xuan Hao directly used the Drifting Cloud Steps before disappearing in the direction of the Ascendant Frost Hall.
“…”
The second elder of the Ascendant Frost Hall could only stare in the direction Xuan Hao had disappeared in with a confused expression plastered all over his face, still not fully understanding what had just happened.
