Danzun War God

Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Exit of the Secret Realm

He didn't use the heavenly soldiers to avoid arousing suspicion from Situ Wuji and Situ Wuyai within the secret realm, and slowly withdrew from the tunnel. He returned to the stone chamber next to the Demon Gathering Hall. At this moment, Han Qi was pondering how to cross Blood Demon Mountain and break the formation at the exit of this secret realm. The Blood Demon guarding Blood Demon Mountain was no pushover; with Han Qi's current cultivation level, he estimated he wasn't entirely confident of defeating him.

Having no other choice, Han Qi decided to improve his cultivation. After all, it would be troublesome if Situ Wuji discovered that he hadn't cultivated the mental cultivation technique he had passed down to him. So, in the stone chamber, Han Qi sat cross-legged on the stone bed and began to circulate the Primordial Five Elements Sacred Technique. Since acquiring the Fire Spirit Pearl, circulating the Five Elements Sacred Technique had become much easier for Han Qi. The pale yellow flames in the center of the nine profound veins circulated rapidly, and the surface of the Xuanhai in his dantian shimmered, coated with a pale yellow layer.

When Han Qi opened his eyes again, two days had passed. He saw dark clouds gathering outside the stone chamber, a heavenly tribulation brewing. Indeed, Han Qi was about to break through to the Tribulation Manifestation Realm. The dark clouds brewed for nearly an hour, gradually changing from gray to dark gray, and finally condensing into black before unleashing the first bolt of Nine Heavens Profound Lightning. Then, several more bolts of Profound Lightning struck down, each more powerful than the last, for a total of nine bolts. By the time the last bolt struck, the stone chamber where Han Qi had been was nowhere to be seen.

When the clouds and mist cleared, Han Qi's body was charred black, with countless electric currents flowing through it. If anyone had seen Han Qi's appearance at this moment, they would have thought he was dead.

At this moment, Han Qi's charred body began to crack and fall away, from which new flesh grew. The nine bolts of Nine Heavens Profound Lightning tempered Han Qi's body once again. In comparison, the strength of Han Qi's body reached a new level, and his cultivation level was now at the third level of the Tribulation Manifestation Realm.

The other three also came upon hearing the commotion. Seeing Han Qi's monstrous transformation, they would have found it hard to believe if they hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes. When ordinary people break through to the Tribulation Manifestation Realm, only three tribulation lightning bolts appear, but Han Qi actually experienced nine profound lightning bolts and directly entered the third level of the Tribulation Manifestation Realm. Moreover, this was the first time the three of them had ever seen such powerful Nine Heavens Profound Lightning.

Just as the three were in shock, Han Qi emerged from the rubble. Although he was only at the early stage of the Tribulation Realm, he exuded an aura of kingship. Upon seeing them, he grinned and said, "Sorry, I made a bit too much noise and disturbed your cultivation."

Li Ke immediately said, "Congratulations, Senior Brother Han, on breaking through to the Tribulation Manifestation Realm."

Sun Yaozu watched as Han Qi opened his mouth but didn't say anything, and needless to say, he was filled with envy and jealousy. He thought to himself, "This kid is too lucky. I didn't expect him to make so many breakthroughs in such a short time. It seems that his talent is really good. I have to find a way to win him over."

Lu Yuanba curled his lip and said, "It's just a few tribulation lightning bolts. I've been through it before. It's nothing special." While saying this, he cursed inwardly: This bastard is a menace. I'll kill him sooner or later. Fortunately, my uncle has already planned to wipe out his entire clan. Let's see how long you can be so arrogant.

Han Qi looked around at the mess and said calmly, "It seems we need to find another place to settle down."

"Why is there a hole in the ground here?" Just then, Sun Yaozu pointed to the ground next to Han Qi and said.

Following the direction of their finger, the group indeed discovered a small cave with several rays of bright light shining from it. They were all quite surprised; how could there be a cave here? Han Qi couldn't help but wonder if this was another tunnel, but he clearly sensed that the aura emanating from it was different from that of the tunnels they had discovered before.

Lu Yuanba punched the cave entrance with a loud bang, and a large section of the entrance collapsed. The entrance was just big enough for one person to pass through. The group looked inside and found that the space inside seemed quite large, filled with smoke and seemingly endless.

"Could this be another secret realm?" Han Qi said slowly.

Lu Yuanba glanced at Han Qi and said, "Whether it's a secret realm or not, we'll find out by going in and taking a look. If you guys aren't going, I will." After saying that, he jumped down.

Sun Yaozu looked at the cave entrance and said, "There must be many treasures inside the secret realm. We can't let Lu Yuanba get them all by himself. I'll go and take a look too." After saying that, he glanced at the two of them and jumped in as well.

Han Qi and Li Ke exchanged a glance and said, "Let's go in and take a look." The two of them then jumped into the hole.

When Han Qi landed, they found themselves in a cave. The cave was quite large, several meters square. On the stone walls at the bottom of the cave, countless golden runes were flashing. The group was drawn to these flashing runes, which clearly indicated a seal. Just as everyone was puzzled, Han Qi realized that this seal was for the demon race, and that people from the demon realm could not pass through it.

It is obvious that the creator of the secret realm set up a special seal here to prevent the demon spirit from escaping. Any seal exists by means of formations, magic artifacts, runes, etc. The sealing power of such seals fluctuates over time. When the sealing power of this seal was at its weakest, it encountered Han Qi's Heavenly Tribulation Nine Heavens Profound Thunder, which caused the seal to be broken.

After looking for a long time without understanding, Lu Yuanba froze for a moment, as if he had been electrocuted. Seeing that the others did not react, Lu Yuanba walked out of the cave and immediately shouted, "Is this the back mountain of our Xuantian Sect? Damn it, how did we get out of the secret realm?"

Upon hearing this, everyone ran out of the cave. Han Qi frowned slightly and also walked out of the cave. He looked around and found that the cliff was right in front of them, and their location was only a few kilometers away from the cliff.

Li Ke looked around at everyone and said, "If my ancestor finds out that we secretly left the secret realm, he will definitely punish us and see if we can go back in."

Li Ke's words reminded the others. Sun Yaozu, who had been punished once before, immediately said, "We finally got into the secret realm, why are we coming out now? Let's go back quickly." If he was caught leaving the secret realm without permission again, he would probably be expelled from the Xuantian Sect, and Sun Yaozu immediately became anxious.

Han Qi was quite familiar with this sealing formation, after all, he had set up a similar formation with the Martial God of War in Kunwu Mountain in his previous life. When everyone wanted to go back, Han Qi immediately made a plan, so he said, "These golden runes should be repairing the seal. Let's hurry up and go back before the seal at the cave entrance is completely repaired."

Everyone quickly crawled back through the hole. At this moment, they noticed that the hole was shrinking at a visible rate. They exchanged glances and then returned to their respective stone chambers. Han Qi moved into an empty stone chamber next to it.
