Record of a Demon's Cultivation

Chapter 354: Escape from the Secret Realm



Translator: Cinder Translations

In previous secret realm openings, those cultivators who managed to walk out alive never mentioned the existence of this chamber.

This means that this chamber didn't exist before.

Or, to put it another way, the stone wall that was broken by the five didn't exist either.

The double-winged white tiger somehow managed to bring these giant stones and blocked the exit of the secret realm by sealing off the stone hall.

The intelligence of the white tiger was somewhat frightening.

It intended to trap all cultivators who entered the secret realm inside.

The five had not yet had the time to expand the hole when the white tiger charged to the entrance of the stone hall, swiping at the stone door with a paw.

In an instant, the stone door shattered into dozens of pieces, flying violently toward the interior of the stone hall.

The five inside were immediately alarmed and hurried toward the hole.

However, the width of the hole was limited, allowing only one person to pass through at a time.

Song Wen was the closest to the hole and was the first to rush toward it.

Just as he was about to pass through the hole, he suddenly sensed a whooshing sound coming from behind him.

It was Xue Gu!

He closely followed behind Song Wen, wielding a flying sword, aiming to strike at Song Wen's feet.

Xue Gu moved on his sword at an extremely fast speed, surpassing the other three by several positions.

If he could injure Song Wen severely, he would not only eliminate an obstacle but also allow himself to pass through the hole at full speed; he could leave Song Wen for the white tiger as a target for venting its anger, buying himself some time to escape the secret realm.

The distance between the two was too close, and the speed of the flying sword was rapid, leaving Song Wen no time to activate his spiritual weapon for defense.

However, the usually cautious Song Wen wouldn't be unprepared against a few people.

Suddenly, a green light erupted from his body, followed by a surge of lightning.

A large bronze cauldron instantly materialized around him.

Outside the bronze cauldron, the lightning quickly gathered, transforming into a shield.

Before the lightning shield could fully form, the sword light struck.

The sword light pierced through the lightning shield, dispersing it into countless tiny electric sparks.

The sword light continued to slash down upon the bronze cauldron.

The bronze cauldron glowed brightly with green light.

Xue Gu, in his haste, had not unleashed his full power with the flying sword.

The bronze cauldron managed to block the attack.

The immense impact from the flying sword instead helped propel Song Wen forward.

His speed dramatically increased, and he stumbled as he rushed into the hole.

Xue Gu's determined strike had missed.

His expression changed drastically, as if faced with a great enemy.

Because, as Song Wen entered the hole, he suddenly turned around and charged toward the back chamber while summoning a dagger.

The dagger shimmered with a cold light, captivating and chilling to the heart.

This dagger was undeniably a top-tier spiritual weapon!

The Soul-Cleaving Blade transformed into a beam of cold light and raced toward Xue Gu.

Xue Gu's face darkened as he raised his hand, summoning back his flying sword.

Holding the long sword, he swung fiercely at the Soul-Cleaving Blade.

The clash of blade and sword erupted!

The icy blade energy and sharp sword light simultaneously burst forth, sweeping in all directions.

The tremendous force from the impact caused Xue Gu to stumble, his speed significantly dropping.

Following closely behind him was Rong Jingyun, with a small yellow flag floating above her head.

The small flag shone brightly with yellow light, blocking the rampant blade energy and sword

qi.

Rong Jingyun swiftly darted past Xue Gu and seized the opportunity to surpass him, racing

toward the hole.

Seeing Rong Jingyun also pass him, Xue Gu's face grew even darker.

In a fit of anger, he swung his long sword toward Rong Jingyun's back.

Before the long sword could be swung out, a cold light flickered, and the Soul-Cleaving Blade

struck again.

"Clang!"

The sound of metal clashing echoed sharply.

"Thud, thud, thud..."

Xue Gu was knocked back several steps by the immense impact of the Soul-Cleaving Blade, his

body swaying as he nearly fell.

Jie Ku and Mu Yunxin, one on each side, zipped past him and rushed into the wall hole.

"Roar!"

A tiger's roar accompanied by a massive wave of force sounded behind Xue Gu.

The white tiger had arrived.

Instantly, Xue Gu's face turned ashen.

Without looking back, he hurled his long sword behind him, transforming it into a beam of

sword light aimed at his pursuer.

However, the sword light was swatted away by the white tiger's paw.

The white tiger spread its wings, instantly crossing several zhang in distance. It opened its enormous mouth and bit down on Xue Gu, who was trying to escape through the wall hole.

"Ah..."

Accompanied by Xue Gu's chilling scream, the white tiger quickly chewed him up and swallowed him whole.

The white tiger lifted its bloody eyes and peered through the hole into the secret chamber.

At this moment, only Mu Yunxin and Jie Ku remained in the chamber, fleeing toward the exit

of the secret realm suspended in midair, while Song Wen and Rong Jingyun had already

vanished.

Outside the Secret Realm.

The surface of the great lake churned violently.

At the center, a massive whirlpool continued to spin endlessly.

The water flowed around the edge of the whirlpool, being drawn in by a powerful

gravitational force, continually converging toward the center.

A figure abruptly appeared above the whirlpool.

It was Song Wen, the first to reach the exit of the secret realm.

Immediately following him, Rong Jingyun appeared beside him.

She looked at Song Wen with a grateful expression.

"Elder Wu, thank you for your help."

She interpreted Song Wen's intervention with Xue Gu as assistance in her escape.

Song Wen didn't elaborate further, smiling lightly.

"It was just a small effort; Elder Rong doesn't need to worry about it."

Rong Jingyun said, "How can I not repay a life-saving grace? If you ever need anything from

me in the future, Elder Wu, please feel free to ask."

Song Wen replied, "The promise between us, I hope Elder Rong will remember."

Rong Jingyun nodded.

She had once made a soul oath not to kill Song Wen, nor to disclose any details about the cave

where the Stinging Mother Beast resided, to outsiders.

Since she had made a soul oath, even if Song Wen didn't remind her, she would remember it

clearly and wouldn't dare to overstep.

During this trip to the Canglan Secret Realm, Song Wen's adept use of lightning magic had

been witnessed by several cultivators.

This secret was bound to leak; Song Wen couldn't possibly hunt down and kill every cultivator

who had seen him use lightning magic.

Revealing his mastery of lightning magic posed little threat to Song Wen. After all, most

cultivators had their own hidden cards.

At this moment, two figures suddenly appeared-Mu Yunxin and Jie Ku.

They too had successfully escaped from the white tiger.

Mu Yunxin glanced at Song Wen and smiled faintly.

"Friend Wu, thanks to your assistance, we were able to leave the secret realm safely. When

your kidney fire is strong, feel free to come to the He Huan Heavenly Spring Courtyard to find

me; I will be sure to welcome you."

In the sky.

From five flying ships, figures emerged.

Tu Lian of the Beastmaster Sect, Yan Yuyan of the Profound Heaven Sword Sect, Shu Qing of

the He Huan Sect, Hui Ming of the Mixed Yuan Temple, and Lei Jun of the Lei Family.

Five Golden Core cultivators arrived together.

Yan Yuyan's gaze swept over Song Wen and the others, her expression darkening.

Among the four who exited the secret realm, not a single one was a disciple of her Profound

Heaven Sword Sect.

"There are only a few days left until the secret realm closes. You are among the first to exit;

what happened inside the secret realm?"
