Chapter 2232: Chapter 2232

The Martial Champion is extremely protective, especially towards those with blood ties to him.

In his view, Third Young Master Zhang had the closest bloodline to him, but that child was already a lost cause. Luckily, Lv Donglin had completely inherited the Golden Winged Roc's bloodline, and he treated Lv Donglin as his successor.

He imparted all his secret techniques, cultivation insights, and everything he knew to Lv Donglin!

With these, Lv Donglin's cultivation speed increased rapidly, leaving others in amazement.

In fact, Lv Donglin was not lacking in talent. On the contrary, his talent was very high, not inferior to Su Yang's.

The reason his progress was slow before was because his cultivation method was wrong.

He had the bloodline of the Golden Winged Roc, so what results could he expect from cultivating using the Human Clan's secret techniques?

The Martial Champion's knowledge was based on a combination of Human and Demon Clan's secret techniques, merged together to form a special cultivation secret technique that was specifically suited to his Golden Winged Roc bloodline.

Once Lv Donglin cultivated using the correct secret technique, his cultivation speed naturally increased rapidly, proving to the world that his talent was no weaker than anyone else's!

Everything in the Human World was developing stably. In two years, the strength of Su Yang and his companions had steadily increased. The Beigong War God and the other three had already vaguely reached the threshold of the Sub-Saint level. Meanwhile, Su Yang was also rapidly improving, getting closer and closer to the Beigong War God's level.

The only thing that worried Su Yang was Su Zhan, who hadn't returned from training in the Fifth Region for two years. If not for the Beigong War God and his companions encountering him in the Fifth Region, Su Yang would be truly concerned about his condition.

During these two years, the Sword Qi inside the Heavenly Sect was also gradually decreasing. Ye Wantong had absorbed most of the Female Sword Saint's legacy and was in the final stage. Once Ye Wantong fully absorbed the Female Sword Saint's legacy, she would likely reach at least the Sub-Saint level!

One day, like before, Su Yang went to the Endless Starry Sky. This time, he set off with the Beigong War God and three others, carrying three Crystal Skulls. Their plan was to train in the Fifth Region.

"The Fifth Region is different from the previous four regions. In there, the strength of the demon beasts is extremely formidable, with Demon Beast Kings seen everywhere!" said the Beigong War God. "In there, there's even Demon Beast Sub-Saints, terrifying existences with strength comparable to Sub-Saints, which are far beyond what we can contend with now!"

Su Yang nodded. He had heard before that Ye the Sword Saint had once slain a Demon Beast Sub-Saint there.

Although the strength of a Demon Beast Sub-Saint is very strong, in reality, the probability of encountering one is very low. Over so many years across the Nine Realms, the number of Demon Beast Sub-Saints encountered could be counted on one hand.

However, the Demon Beast Kings within are extremely powerful, and even with Su Yang's current strength, a one-on-one fight would likely require a considerable amount of effort.

Yet, it is precisely this situation that makes the Fifth Region the best place for training. Only in life-and-death battles can one's potential truly be unleashed.

"Do you think these Demon Beast Sub-Saints could cultivate into Holy Demon Beasts?" suddenly asked the Second City Lord. "Beasts among demons, with strength comparable to the Saints of the Nine Realms?"

Everyone exchanged glances, unsure how to answer this question.

"I once heard a Saint say that beyond the Fifth Region, there is also a Sixth Region. And in the Sixth Region, there are Demon Beast Sub-Saints everywhere, along with some Holy Demon Beasts..." said Mahakaya. "A Saint once encountered one, but it was just a fleeting meeting without a direct confrontation. If a battle were to occur, it's hard to say who would win between a Saint and a Holy Demon Beast. We must know that due to innate conditions, demon beasts are often a bit stronger at the same level!"

Everyone was taken aback. So there really are Holy Demon Beasts?

"The Sixth Region?" Qi Zhishan asked curiously. "Weren't there only five regions? How is there a Sixth Region?"

"The five regions are from the perspective of the Nine Realms!" Mahakaya replied. "The first four regions are easy to define, but in fact, our exploration of the Fifth Region is also limited. Beyond the areas we have explored, is it possible there are no more beasts? The universe is infinite; you don't know how vast it really is. The area we've explored might not even be a speck of dust compared to the universe. The Fifth Region is defined by the areas we've explored, but what about the unexplored parts? Could there be a Sixth, Seventh, or Eighth Region?"

Everyone fell silent, acknowledging the truth in those words. Compared to the infinite universe, the Nine Realms are indeed like a speck of dust, as are the areas they've explored. The universe holds too many unknowns, too many terrors, too many powerful entities capable of obliterating the Nine Realms in an instant, beyond what they can fathom.

"I wonder when we'll be able to understand the true mysteries of this Endless Universe!" sighed the Beigong War God.

Su Yang clenched his fist. "As long as we continue to cultivate, one day we will be able to traverse this universe!"

"Hopefully!" Everyone nodded but realized they didn't even know how their current level of cultivation measured up in this vast universe.

Amidst their idle chat, they had reached the edge of the Fourth Zone, about to enter the Fifth Region when suddenly a long howl echoed from the far sky.

"It's my father!" Su Yang widened his eyes and rushed over quickly.

The others hurriedly followed, thinking that from Su Zhan's voice, it sounded like he was in a fight with something.

Su Zhan's strength had increased rapidly; if it were just an ordinary Demon Beast King, he could easily defeat it without such a cry for help. He must have encountered a formidable opponent.

Upon arriving at the scene, they saw Su Zhan being pursued by a gigantic demon beast.

This demon beast resembled a wild boar with a dragon's head and a snake's tail, with two tusks and stretching hundreds of meters long, looking extremely fierce.

"This..." the Beigong War God exclaimed in astonishment, "This is a Sub-Dragon Pig, a Demon Beast Sub-Saint!"

Everyone's expressions changed; they had been discussing Demon Beast Sub-Saints just moments ago, and now, one had appeared right in front of them!

And it was even pursuing Su Zhan. What kind of luck was that? To directly encounter a Demon Beast Sub-Saint?

It was evident that Su Zhan was suffering from multiple injuries, his clothes stained with blood, showcasing the formidable strength of the Demon Beast Sub-Saint.

"Father!" Su Yang hurried forward to meet him.

Seeing Su Yang, Su Zhan's face changed rapidly, and he quickly gestured, "Run, run, this is a Sub-Saint Beast, extremely powerful; we can't defeat it!"

Witnessing Su Zhan's condition, Su Yang couldn't possibly run away. He yelled and quickly rushed to Su Zhan's side, striking out with a punch to fend it off temporarily.
