The Legendary Man novel Chapter 1178

The Legendary Man Chapter 1178-As Jonathan’s body was lifted up, he struggled to breathe as he gazed at the semi-transparent bald man standing before him.

Seboxia was a renowned cultivator known for his patience and composure.

In their previous encounters, he never resorted to grabbing Jonathan’s collar like a thug. Instead, he would use his strength to suppress him with finesse.

What did I say that caused Seboxia to lose his composure?

Jonathan quickly recalled what he said earlier.

“I didn’t say anything. All I said was that I met many ancient demon beasts in this small world before you woke up. I encountered a lilith, an unknown huge bear, and a hook serpent that brought us to this underground cave—”

Before Jonathan could finish his words, Seboxia interjected firmly, “There is no way those creatures are still alive!”

Jonathan broke free from Seboxia’s grasp and pulled out a sharp claw.

After slaying the hook serpent, Jonathan was captivated by its magnificent scales and sharp claw-like legs. Employing the Heaven Sword, he skillfully cleaved the creature’s body into several sections and carefully stored them in his storage ring.

That was why Seboxia didn’t discover how Jonathan entered the cave and asked that question.

Surprise flitted across Seboxia’s eyes as he stared at the sharp and strong claws.

“This is impossible. These ominous beings from ancient times shouldn’t be here!”

Jonathan noticed how surprised Seboxia looked, but he still had no idea why the latter reacted this way.

He pulled out the hook serpent’s tailhook and gave it to Seboxia.

“Seboxia, I initially couldn’t believe that the beings existed here too. However, this is a small world, after all. It was designed to confine these ominous creatures. I know that before small worlds were created, they served as spirit animal spheres…”

He trailed off when he noticed how solemn Seboxia looked.

“You’re talking about the period before small worlds existed!” Seboxia cut in coldly.

“Do you know that after small worlds emerged, they were mostly used as an escape from the real world and the Life and Death Pryncyp? They became like back gardens for cultivators and sects, providing a refuge. However, these small worlds are usually limited in size and require constant maintenance by cultivators. While they can serve as spirit animal spheres for ancient demon beasts, they cannot sustain a large number of them simultaneously.”

Seboxia paused, his expression shifting as if a memory resurfaced. “Jonathan, did you say we are several hundred meters deep underwater?”

Jonathan gave a slight nod. “Yes. I don’t know the exact depth, but the hook serpent swallowed me and swam downward for at least a few dozen seconds.”

Seboxia stared at Jonathan as though he was a fool.

A cultivator would often fight demon beasts and slay them. It was normal for cultivators to get killed by demon beasts, too.
