Chapter 1809: Outside the Verdant Abyss... (1)
The defensive measure he had left for Chu Yang wasn’t that complicated and could essentially be boiled down to an imprint that could create either a powerful barrier with enough strength to block even someone at the Land Creation Realm for a short time or launch a powerful attack that had the strength to kill a Middle Stage Celestial Immortal Realm cultivator with some luck if the other party was caught off guard.
As for someone at the Late Stage of the Celestial Immortal Realm cultivator or above... The attack shouldn’t be strong enough to kill the other party but should at the very least be able to buy his disciple some time to run away.
However, if Chu Yang really encountered a situation like that, it meant that he was running out time when it came to saving him from whatever dangerous situation, he had found himself in.
Whoosh~!
With that in mind and already having the border of the Verdant Abyss in sight, he didn’t hold back his movement technique and utilized the Illusory Light Steps to its full potential for the first time since he had left the strange void. Instantly overtaking the few cultivators around him before catching up with the few Land Creation Realm cultivators who had taken the lead.
"Huh? That is... A waste of resources..."
"We are already so close to the edge, why rush forward at the end?"
"Haaa... Still young, doesn’t know how to treasure his artifact properly."
However, instead of being surprised and shocked by the sudden increase in speed, Xuan Hao instead found himself being scolded by the group of senior Land Creation Realm cultivators who assumed he was overexerting himself to ensure he was the first one to leave the Verdant Abyss.
This... Just let them think whatever they want...
Shaking his head slightly with a somewhat wry smile on his face after hearing the comments from the senior Land Creation Realm cultivators, Xuan Hao decided to ignore them and continue rushing towards the border of the Verdant Abyss.
His plan was not so much being the first to leave the Verdant Abyss like those senior Land Creation Realm cultivators were speculating. Instead, it was to get out of the Verdant Abyss as fast as possible so he could use long distance teleportation to start rushing back towards the Eastern Central Region where Chu Yang should currently find himself in a life and death situation.
Although it would still take some time to reach the Eastern Central Region through long-distance teleportation, it shouldn’t take more than twenty minutes or half hour at most now that he already had information on the different dangerous regions spread throughout the Eastern Central Region that he needed to avoid.
As for the dangerous regions in the Northern Central Region or the Eastern Central Region along the way? He already had some general information about the dangerous regions of the two regions. The first because the Star Shattering Sect itself was in the Northern Central Region and had been able to gather a lot of information about the region since it began interacting with the Explorer Union and other local powers close to its borders, while information on the Eastern Region had been obtained during a past trip to the Eastern Central Region.
Not to mention, during the time he had been chased around the Eastern Central Region by the spiritual tree, he had also managed to gain an in-depth understanding of the spatial environment of the region itself. A hidden benefit to the chaotic chase that now allowed him a general understanding of safe passages throughout the Eastern Central Region.
In a sense, his understanding of the Eastern Central Region’s spatial environment was far more comprehensive than his understanding of the Northern Central Region’s spatial environment due to the chase.
Whoosh~
With his plans for reaching the Eastern Central Region as fast as possible slowly forming inside his head, Xuan Hao finally passed through the border of the towering spatial formation that sealed off the Verdant Abyss from the rest of the world-
RUMBLE-!
However, the second he passed through the barrier and was about to teleport away, he suddenly felt a terrifying divine sense that was in no way inferior to that of the Star Creation Realm demon beast locking on to him.
"How many demon beasts in the Star Creation Realm have been roused from their slumber so far?" Hearing an old voice suddenly echoing out in his head the next second, Xuan Hao instantly understood that it came from the owner of the terrifying divine sense. "O... One..." And knowing very well that he stood little chance of running away now that he had been locked on to by what he guessed should be some senior figure in the Star Creation Realm, he didn’t hesitate to answer.
"Only one... Hm... Seems like there is still time for me to save those little ones before things deteriorate any further, hehe, those old fellows will owe me for saving their disciples!"
Whoosh~!
Before he even had time to react, Xuan Hao suddenly felt the terrifying divine sense disappearing. Allowing him to breathe freely again as he clearly sensed that the owner of the divine sense had stepped inside the Verdant Abyss... And along with his last words, there might still be hope for those weaker cultivators to get out of their current deadly situation.
Not that he planned to linger around and wait to find out what happened in the end. Not just because he still had to save his disciple, but also because staying behind might end up with him being targeted by the Land Creation Realm cultivator, he had essentially thrown all the blame of what had happened towards.
Confident as he might be in escaping now that he could finally utilize the Dao of Space again, he wasn’t confident in the face of a Star Creation Realm cultivator. Especially now that he had an opportunity to personally feel the pressure such an existence brought to him, as outside of suppression alone, he had also clearly felt the space around him being locked up by some kind of strange domain. Making it difficult to use the Dao of space without an equally powerful force to counteract the strange domain.
This did somewhat confirm his earlier belief that Star Creation Realm cultivators had some way to restrain the Dao of Space. Making him even more cautious about confronting someone in the Star Creation Realm in the future.
