Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 520 - 302: Battlefield Beyond the Domain

After the cave collapse stopped, Lu Yu released spiritual power to push away the surrounding rocks.

He looked up to see the Bear King trapped under several huge boulders, struggling to break free. The massive stones, weighing hundreds of tons, teetered and could be overturned at any moment by the Bear King.

Lu Yu walked towards the Bear King, gripping the Demon-Breaking Saber, as spiritual power surged within him, and the saber emitted a faint glow.

"Asura Slash!"

...

After slaying the Bear King and gaining over 1.2 million experience points, Lu Yu began searching for the others in the collapsed cave.

He didn't want to cause a secondary collapse, so he couldn't recklessly dig and thus searched slowly.

"Is anyone there?" Lu Yu heard a faint voice coming from the other side.

He turned and walked towards the direction of the voice, using spiritual power to clear all the earth and stones in front of him. Wherever Lu Yu walked, a path appeared.

Indeed, there wasn't a path originally, but if many walk the same way, a path forms.

Suddenly, the earth and rocks before him vanished, and Lu Yu found himself breaking through to a wide underground space, where the structure was stable and hadn't collapsed in the recent quake.

"Lu Yu?" Chen Qingyun turned his head at the sound and, seeing Lu Yu's figure, called out in surprise.

Boom! The mountain wall beside them suddenly exploded as two people walked out—Luo Heng and Luo Feng, the two brothers who had already regrouped somehow.

"It's just you guys? Where are the Captain and Sister Qingqing?" Luo Heng asked, puzzled at seeing the two.

The collapse had been unexpected, catching them off guard, but Martial Cultivators at the peak of the Qi Sea Realm wouldn't be crushed underground by earth and stones, so no one thought something would happen.

Chen Qingyun's face was a bit troubled as he said, "The Captain and Sister Qingqing arrived here long before you did. You were the last to arrive."

"Then where are they?" Luo Heng scanned the area. The spacious underground space offered no places to hide, yet something caught his attention—a black crack on the mountain wall.

Chen Qingyun looked at the space rift and said, "Sister Qingqing fell into the space rift, and the Captain went after her. They asked us to wait here for their return." 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"You're kidding, are we just supposed to sit here doing nothing?" Luo Heng exclaimed loudly.

"Then what should we do? The Captain has given orders, and judging by the power coming from the other side, it's likely the external battlefield. Rushing into unknown territory there is a death wish," Chen Qingyun replied with a frown.

"The external battlefield?" Lu Yu was immediately intrigued and turned to look at the space rift. Through this fissure, could he enter the external battlefield?

"Unknown territory, so aren't the Captain and Sister Qingqing in great danger? No, we have to go save them," Luo Heng said excitedly.

Luo Feng grabbed Luo Heng's shoulder and calmly said, "Don't be impulsive; if we go, we'll just be a burden to the Captain and Sister Qingqing, dragging them down."

"So we just wait here for the Captain and Sister Qingqing to come back?" Luo Heng said angrily.

Lu Yu's eyes flickered as he remarked, "The space rift seems to be shrinking."

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly turned to look at the space rift, noticing that the once two-meter crack had shrunk to one and a half meters and was still getting smaller.

Luo Heng quickly said, "I'm going in to help the Captain; one more person is one more strength."

With that, and not waiting for others to speak, he dove headfirst into the space rift, disappearing from everyone's perception.

Seeing Luo Heng dash into the rift, Luo Feng followed without a word, saying to the two before leaving, "Wait here; maybe the space rift will open again."

After speaking, he disappeared from the cave.

Chen Qingyun and Lu Yu exchanged a glance. Chen Qingyun looked at the now nearly one-meter-long space rift and said, "Wait here, or go back; there's no need to get involved."

After speaking, he also entered the space rift.

Watching the shrinking space rift, Lu Yu didn't hesitate either, charging in. His destination was the external battlefield, so why wouldn't he enter when the opportunity arose?

Swoosh~ Lu Yu's figure appeared on a cliff. He looked around at the nine hazy moons hanging in the sky, each of a different, eerie color, their moonlight imparting a sense of ominousness.

The moon above Lu Yu was a purple demonic moon, casting a faint purple glow over the surrounding world.

He seemed to hear unknown whispers by his ear. When he concentrated, he heard nothing, but once he relaxed, whispers filled his ears, compelling an urge to listen attentively.

Knowing much about the external battlefield, Lu Yu understood that one mustn't listen to any unknown sounds, trust anything seen with the naked eye, or casually touch any unknown objects...

He steadied his mind, focusing his spiritual power to form a barrier around his mind, protecting it from unconsciously receiving unknown signals.

The external battlefield was ever so close to the void, where unimaginably dangerous existences resided—primordial chaotic demons, conceptual Evil Gods, powerful-bloodline races...

Perhaps the nine moons Lu Yu saw were in the void, incarnations of Evil Gods or demons therein.

With a steady mind, Lu Yu's perception range was significantly reduced. He turned his head to survey his surroundings.

The space rift behind him had vanished; he couldn't return to the Divine Martial World through the rift.
