<h4>Chapter 102: Dark Red Whirlpool</h4>


    Not waiting for a second longer, Xuan Hao directly entered the ravine below where the terrifying spiritual me from earlier hade from. The time that he had to explore the ce beneath was only 30 minutes, so he dared not waste too much time and wait for the mes to disappear again.


    The farther down he travelled, the more space appeared to have been twisted as it began to look more and more distorted the deeper into the ravine he went.


    At the bottom of the ravine, a giant dark red whirlpool was slowly spinning as it seemed to bend the space around itself causing several cracks in space itself to appear nearby.


    The dark red whirlpool was surrounded in a terrifying me that was way strongerpared to the spiritual me from earlier that had appeared at the edge of the cliff leading down into the ravine.


    Rumble~


    A faint rumbling sound could be heard from the dark red whirlpool as it slowly grew stronger and stronger.


    Observing closer, Xuan Hao also saw that the mes around the dark red whirlpool were slowly shrinking a bit with every passing moment. After the 30-minute mark was up, they would most likely erupt to some extend and cause the spiritual me from earlier to appear once again.


    In the end, the spiritual me was most likely just a byproduct of whatever was happening inside of the whirlpool…


    But for now, Xuan Hao knew that he was nowhere near strong enough to get any closer to the dark red whirlpool, let alone enter and see what was hiding inside of it… Maybe even someone at the Domain Lord Realm would be too weak, as space itself was shattered inside of the whirlpool…


    The power behind the dark red whirlpool was simply unimaginable and as the rumbling sounding from the dark red whirlpool slowly grew louder and louder, Xuan Hao gazed onest time at the mysterious yet dangerous dark red whirlpool before turning around and making his way back out of the ravine.


    …


    "Finally found one!" having reached another marked spot on the map he had gotten from the Explorer Union, Xuan Hao let out a sigh of relief as he saw the Nascent Soul Realm demon beastzilyying in the sun rxing.


    After he had made it back out of the ravine, Xuan Hao went back to check if the little white rabbit demon beast returned to itsir, but it had long left when he arrived there, so Xuan Hao decided to check some of the other ces on the map with Nascent Soul Realm demon beast that had been marked out by the Explorer Union.


    Sadly, his luck seemed to havepletely disappeared as he went from one location to the next without finding a single Nascent Soul Realm demon beast!


    It was only at the ninth location that he managed to finally find a demon beast at the Nascent Soul Realm…


    The demon beast in question was a ming mountain ape, it was well known for having the ability to manipte fire and used several me-based attacks when inbat.


    There was even a rumor that the Raging me Sect had taken a lot of inspiration from the ming mountain ape in their own qi techniques and fist-basedbat arts.


    "Well… Time to see how strong I have gotten!" Muttering a bit to himself, Xuan Hao stood straight on top of his flying sword as he withdrew a sword from a scabbard on his left side and preformed a simple sh down towards the ming mountain ape.


    Swish~


    The sword sh was filled with his sword intent and even though it was just a simple sh, it carried with it enough strength to shatter the earth and split clouds.


    The ming mountain ape discovered the attack immediately, as Xuan Hao did not make any attempt to hide his attack and the fact that preforming a sneak attack on someone in the Nascent Soul Realm was close to impossible due to the constant presence of the other party''s divine sense.


    "ROAR!"


    Letting out a roar in response to the sudden attack, the ming mountain ape lifted both its hands in a defensive posture as arge me suddenly engulfed itpletely.


    Cling~


    A metallic sound soon sounded as the sword sh from Xuan Hao reached the ming mountain ape andnded directly at it without doing any damage at all, only a white mark could be seen at the ce where the sword sh hadnded after the ming mountain ape dispelled the raging me that had earlier engulfed it.


    "Hm… It should have reached the sixth stage of the Nascent Soul Realm like me, but its body isparable to someone at the seventh stage or maybe even above it… Truly, what a great practice target I found myself!" Smiling widely upon seeing how easily the ming mountain ape had dealt with his attack, Xuan Hao quickly descended andnded a few hundred meters away from it.


    "I have never tired using any of the sword moves that were recorded in the Untold Swords Mantra yet due to my cultivation being too weak before, but I can finally try the first move!" Saying this Xuan Hao raised his sword and preformed the first move recorded in the Untold Swords Mantra.


    "Sword Shadow!"


    Before the ming mountain ape could evenprehend why the human that had attacked it suddenly decided tond a few hundred meters away from it and start talking, a faint shadow of a sword suddenly appeared directly in front of it.


    "Roar?"


    The confused roar of the ming mountain ape could be heard for a split moment before it managed to react and quickly set up a quick defense to try and block the attack that had arrived directly in front of it!


    The attack from the human was way too fast! It had only barely seen the attack when it was already about tond!


    Swish~


    The sound of something cutting through the air could barely be heard as the attack from Xuan Hao finallynded on the ming mountain ape.
