Chapter 257
Celestial Realm
As we defeated the Giant Earthworm, we were able to enter the cave that lay behind it. The cave was wide enough for two grown men to walk side by side, but there were no torches or light sources inside. So, we snapped off some branches to make makeshift torches and proceeded down the long tunnel.
As I walked through the cave, I muttered to myself,
“How did the Qingyue Protector pass through the Sea of Life?”
The size of the Giant Earthworm we had just seen was no joke. It could very well qualify as a disaster by any average person’s or typical warrior’s standards. It was a legendary monster that would likely require thousands or even tens of thousands of soldiers to handle. Given that Dokgo Seong, the elder of the Thunder God Lineage, had barely managed to sever its life thread using all his strength, I couldn’t help but wonder how the Qingyue Protector managed to bypass its fierce guardian.
There’s no way he defeated it in a one-on-one fight.
In response to my musings, Dokgo Seong chimed in,
“He probably deceived the worm’s attention and sneaked in.”
“Is that even possible?”
