Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

ROAR!

As the giant figure crawled over towards them as it roared angrily, General Liu and the rest of the group managed to the full body of the giant demon beast.

A large tail coiled around a nearby rock as it had stopped only a few hundred meters away from the group. The demon beast in question was a giant lizard with a set of rough brownish scales covering its large body.

Other than that, a large pair of horns were also visible on the giant lizard as it threateningly stared at them from the inside of the underground part of the secret realm.

Ready to attack them the moment that they moved even a single step closer!

"Imperial Teacher, w-what should we do…?" Nervously starring over at the giant lizard starring at them full of killing intent, General Liu nervously turned around and asked the Imperial Teacher. Hoping deeply that he would just tell him to leave the underground area. Not having to deal with the terrifying giant lizard in front of him.

That lizard was not just giant but looked like a small moving hill from a distance easily being a dozen meters tall and over a hundred meters in length!

Looking at the tough scales covering its body, General Liu doubted that he would be able to do anything to the giant lizard, even if he used his strongest attack!

"We will have to deal with the lizard if we want to move forward… It looks like its body is already considered to be half a step into the Soul Ascension Realm, so injuring it will be difficult even for us…" Upon reaching this point, the Imperial Teacher looked over at the person shrouded in darkness before continuing.

"But we should be able to take it down over a prolonged battle and make our way towards the centre of the secret realm… Hah… We will definitely have to waste some time to deal with it first… Let's hope it gets tired or afraid and runs away without too much trouble, that would save us some time at least..." Finishing his explanation, the Imperial Teacher looked over at the person shrouded in darkness and saw him nod in agreement with his idea as the two of them prepared to attack the giant lizard together.

Roar!

Sensing the people in front of it getting ready to fight, the giant lizard let out a threatening roar as it waved its large claws towards the group in an attempt to scare them away.

"General Zhang, you go together with that guy from the Sky Empire. Try to stay alive later on and keep up with us!" The person covered in darkness finally spoke as he instructed General Zhang before moving over beside the Imperial Teacher.

"Yes! Ancestor Bi Sheng!" General Zhang did not say anything as he orderly moved over beside General Liu while both the Imperial Teacher and Ancestor Bi Sheng began making their move towards the lizard threateningly waving its claws towards them.

Whoosh~

Both Ancestor Bi Sheng and the Imperial Teacher acted without waiting for even a single moment longer as both of them attacked the giant lizard.

Roar!

The giant lizard of course saw this coming, so it retaliated towards the incoming humans as it brought down its giant claws, easily cowering both of them as it brought forth an unbearable pressure to the two generals looking over from a distance as they also began moving to support the two elders.

Ching~

The giant claw of the lizard came down and Ancestor Bi Sheng from the Onyx Empire did not stand still as he waved his hand causing a large domain of darkness to spread out with him as the centre as it engulfed the incoming claw of the lizard and took the form of several large chains that restrained the giant claw of the giant lizard.

The lizard backed quickly as it tried to free its claw from the chains of darkness created by Bi Sheng, but it was surprised when it saw the Imperial Teacher who used this opportunity to draw out a large symbol in the air a few meters away from it that flew towards it at an alarming pace.

An earth-shaking aura could be felt as the lizard could clearly tell that it would not be good for it if the symbol managed to land, but by this point it was too late!

Boom!

The symbol soon ignited into a large explosion that shook the entire underground cave as the lizard stumbled back awkwardly for a moment before stabilizing.

Roar!

The lizard managed to free itself from the chains of darkness cast out by Bi Sheng as it roared angrily towards the two humans in front of it before angrily charging towards both of them.

Only a small wound was left in the location that the symbol from the Imperial Teacher had landed and exploded…

"Looks like we won't be able to do much to this lizard…" Shaking his head as he watched the lizard approaching, the Imperial Teacher looked over at Bi Sheng who nodded his head understandingly.

Both of them knew that killing the giant lizard was nothing more than a pipe dream with its strong defence.

Like this, the two of them decided to enter a war of attrition with the giant lizard as they tried their best to move towards the centre of the underground world at the same time.

Hoping that the giant lizard would be unwilling to move too far away from where it lived or just give up when it couldn't kill them quickly enough.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Several large explosions kept happing as the two elders from the Onyx Empire and Sky Empire worked together to fend of the giant lizard, while the two generals tried their best to keep up without getting caught up in the aftermath of the fight between the giant lizard and two elders.

Launching their own attacks towards the lizard whenever an opportunity presented itself.

…

Roar!

As the battle between the group of four and the giant underground lizard continued, Xuan Hao was using his greatest speed possible to get as far away from the battle as possible, but for some reason, it seemed like the fighting only grew closer and closer with each passing moment.

"This should be the centre of the underground world… The entrance of the secret realm should be just above here…" Muttering this to himself, Xuan Hao looked at the giant ancient palace complex in front of him easily covering everything in the surroundings as a large barrier covered the entire palace complex.

The ancient palace itself was nothing short of amazing, but Xuan Hao did not dare linger around for much longer as the group fighting was getting closer and closer with each passing moment.

At this point, Xuan Hao could even make out the people fighting in the distance as on person covered in shrouded in a black miasma like substance manifested countless chains of darkness in an attempt to restrain a giant lizard demon beast as another figure manifested an infinite number of ancient symbols to attack the giant lizard demon beast as they moved in the direction of the ancient palace complex.

There were also two others following closely behind the trio locked in combat, but both of them seemed negligible in comparison to the three locked in combat with each other.

"Is this how Domain Lords fight…?" Observing the countless attacks that manifested out of thin air to attack the giant lizard demon beast. Xuan Hao felt like he understood a little more about how people in the Domain Lord Realm fought as he felt that the attacks should be the manifestation of the two peoples Domains.

One domain of darkness manifesting a countless number of chains to restrain the giant lizard, while the other domain summoned forth an infinite number of ancient symbols bringing all sorts of changes to the world as they transformed into different attacks.

Would he be the same when he reached the Domain Lord Realm…?

Thinking this, Xuan Hao could not help but feel excited upon thinking about being able to summon forth a sea of swords to attack his opponent… No matter how many enemies there was, it wouldn't matter if they were below the Domain Lord Realm…

Casting one last look towards the fight moving closer and closer to him, Xuan Hao walked up to the barrier of the ancient palace complex and touched the barrier.

"Hm? Seems like the barrier is not blocking me… Maybe it's like the one above that only blocks out demon beasts…?" Not thinking too much about it, Xuan Hao entered the ancient palace complex.

At the same time inside of Xuan Hao's interspatial ring, the blue feather that he had picked up from the underground hall of the temple earlier on shinned brightly for a short moment when Xuan Hao touched the barrier into the palace complex before returning to its former calm state.
