Yu Rumeng was obviously enraged, she had never heard anyone cursed her so viciously before, especially when the one who did it was Yang Kai. Gritting her teeth, she spat, “I’ll fight you to the death!”
Yang Kai sneered, “If you have the guts, try it.”
He didn’t believe that Yu Rumeng would really dare to attack him in front of so many people. If she really did so, her identity would definitely be exposed. As long as she still had something up her sleeve, she definitely wouldn’t waste her efforts.
He had thought so…
Unexpectedly, as soon as his voice fell, he saw Yu Rumeng’s beautiful eyes staring at him mockingly. Immediately, his Knowledge Sea began to churn as a splitting headache came over him. Yang Kai couldn’t help letting out a muffled groan as his body swayed.
It wasn’t just him; Yu Rumeng herself was the same. It was obvious that when Yang Kai was suffering this pain, she was also affected, her crystal clear skin turning pale and her forehead dripping with sweat.
Under normal circumstances, the abnormalities of these two people would definitely not be able to escape the senses of the surrounding people, but at this moment, everyone was doing their best to maintain the stability of the surrounding dozen or so meters so that this area would not be affected by the aftershocks of the Great Emperor’s battle, so who would have the mood to care about others?
As such, the two’s abnormal reactions were completely undetectable.
“What did you do?” Yang Kai was shocked. He didn’t even notice Yu Rumeng attacking, but his head felt like it was about to explode. What the hell was going on?
“I want to die together with you!” Yu Rumeng grit her teeth and replied, her voice also intermittent, obviously enduring great pain.
“Are you crazy?” Yang Kai’s expression changed drastically. At this time, this woman was still playing around, she was simply a lunatic.
“Who told you to curse me!?” Yu Rumeng stubbornly stared at Yang Kai, sweat dripping down her forehead.
“Didn’t I just curse you once? If you’re unhappy, you can curse at me back,” Yang Kai didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “Why do you have to hurt each other?”
“Apologize!”
“Tell your mother that!”
“You’re still cursing me!” It was unknown whether Yu Rumeng was angry or in pain, but her whole body was trembling. Finally, Lan Xun noticed something unusual and asked with concern, “Senior Sister Li, are you alright?”
Yu Rumeng slowly shook her head, not saying a word.
Yang Kai sent a voice transmission at the right time, “If there’s something you want to say, you can settle it later. Don’t make a fuss now.”
Yu Rumeng coldly replied, “No one has ever cursed me like this before, no one can curse me like this. Unless you apologize, I will take you down with me!”
Yang Kai was at a loss for words, his expression twitching for a moment before he could only comfort her, “Alright, alright, it was my fault just now, I won’t curse at you again.” A real man knows when to bow and submit, so what was an apology?
“You said that.”
“Yes, you heard me right.”
Only then did Yu Rumeng stop. After a moment of silence, she asked with concern, “Does it hurt?”
“What do you think?” Yang Kai asked angrily, feeling that this woman’s attitude was changing even faster than flipping a book.
“It was just a moment of anger, please don’t provoke me like this next time.” Perhaps it was the change in her mood that made Yu Rumeng feel somewhat guilty about her actions just now, but her tone was so gentle that it was enough to make everything turn soft.
Yang Kai rolled his eyes and asked, “Was that also the power of the Heart Seal Secret Technique?”
Yu Rumeng didn’t say anything and naturally noticed that Yang Kai was trying to fish for information.
Yang Kai wanted to ask a few more questions, but he didn’t have a chance. After the two of them struggled for a while, the world around them finally collapsed. The earth and space split open one by one, and under the influence of an unknown force, they gradually distanced themselves and drifted into the depths of the void.
This was the first time everyone had seen such a strange scene, and everyone felt a chill run down their spines as they stared at it.
“It’s over!” Xue Zhengmao let out a long sigh. As the Great Elder of Star Soul Palace and a Third-Order Emperor Realm master, after living for so many years, he wasn’t afraid of death, it was just that Lan Xun was still here. If he died, then so be it, but what if Lan Xun died?
In addition to Lan Xun, there were also the descendants and disciples of the other four Great Emperors.
For a time, everyone was filled with anxiety.
Yang Kai, on the other hand, was quite calm. Although he had described the situation as dangerous before, if it really came to that, he could only put everyone here into the Mysterious Boundary Bead and then think of a way to escape from the Void. As long as he was safe, everyone else would be safe.
Under normal circumstances, Yang Kai was confident he could escape safely, but now, with three Great Emperors fighting and the collapse of the entire world, Yang Kai couldn’t say for sure what kind of situation he would be facing, so he didn’t dare make any unnecessary promises to the others. He was only prepared to act when the situation became extremely dire.
Cracking sounds rang out incessantly as the rate at which the world was collapsing increased. Pieces of earth began to drift away, gradually disappearing.
In less than two hours, everyone was surrounded by a vast expanse of nothingness. The only place they were standing on was protected by everyone, but it was only a few dozen meters in radius, causing everyone to feel as if they were trapped on an isolated island in the middle of the sea. This isolated island was still flowing through the cracks of space, and there was no light to be seen. It was as if it had been forgotten by the entire world.
“En?” Yang Kai suddenly raised his brow and looked towards a certain direction.
“What’s wrong?” Xiao Yuyang, who was standing beside him, asked.
Yang Kai didn’t answer, instead silently sensing his surroundings. A moment later, his expression brightened, “There’s an exit over there.”
Hearing this, everyone was overjoyed. Lei Hong shouted, “The exit to the Star Boundary?”
Yang Kai nodded, “Very likely!”
“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go over and take a look,” Lei Hong couldn’t wait.
Yang Kai nodded lightly, but just as he was about to lead the group over, his body suddenly froze, and after carefully sensing his surroundings, his expression changed drastically, “Not good, run!”
As he spoke, he activated his Space Laws and enveloped everyone before leading them in the opposite direction.
Everyone didn’t know what was going on, but seeing Yang Kai’s solemn expression, they knew that things were not looking good. In this damned place, only Yang Kai, who was proficient in Space Laws, had the authority to speak. He must have sensed something and made such a choice.
It was extremely dangerous to travel through the void. Without Yang Kai’s protection, these dozen or so people wouldn’t have been able to stay together, and they might have simply scattered with a single blink.
Everyone also wanted to know what Yang Kai had noticed and why he was acting like he was facing a great enemy, but it was obviously not convenient to ask now.
However, this doubt didn’t last long, and soon, an unusual movement came from behind him.
Rumbling sounds filled the air, as if something was rolling across the entire sky.
While they were busy, Xue Zhengmao and the others looked back, but they couldn’t see anything at all. Releasing their Divine Sense, they couldn’t extend it far. In this void, their strength was completely suppressed.
After what seemed like an incense stick’s worth of time, or perhaps only a dozen breaths of time, a light suddenly appeared in front of them. Seeing this light, everyone couldn’t help feeling as if a window had been opened in this dark room.
Even without Yang Kai’s explanation, everyone knew that the source of the light was an exit, so they were all overjoyed. As the saying goes, if one survives a great disaster, good fortune will follow. Escaping from death this time was a precious experience for everyone.
The group of people followed Yang Kai and quickly arrived at the source of the light.
His vision blurred for a moment before he saw the ground covered in yellow sand. When the wind blew, sand and dust filled the air.
“We're back!” Xue Zhengmao’s expression brightened.
Moreover, they had returned to the place where they had first entered. This place was obviously the sea of sand. Looking down, they saw a giant funnel beneath their feet. They had never expected that after that world collapsed, they would be able to find a way out.
“Let’s go!” Yang Kai didn’t stop and instead continued flying forward.
Seeing him act so evasively, the others didn’t have time to rejoice, quickly suppressing their doubts and following after him.
After flying for a hundred kilometers, Yang Kai stopped and turned around to look back, his expression extremely solemn.
“Yang Kai, did you notice something?” Xiao Yuyang walked over to him and asked while also glancing over.
Yang Kai shook his head, “I hope my deduction is wrong, if it’s true…”
“The great calamity is about to begin!” Gao Zhan suddenly shouted. At this moment, he also opened his white eyes, a strange light flowing from them as he stared towards the funnel.
Yang Kai turned to look at him and had the urge to rip his mouth off.
When he needed this guy, he was useless, but when he didn’t need him, he would make a jinx of himself. Not only that, but he was also very effective. Previously, he had told him to be careful, but in the end, he had really been tricked by Yu Rumeng.
And now, he was talking about the upcoming great calamity…
This person definitely has no friends! Yang Kai concluded.
With a loud bang, sand and dust flew into the air, and a pitch-black aura suddenly burst out from the sand funnel, shooting straight up into the clouds and spreading out in all directions. Wherever this pitch-black aura passed, everything changed, as if the world had lost its color.
“That’s…” Xue Zhengmao and the others’ eyes widened as they stared towards that direction, suddenly feeling a chill run down their spines.
“Ah!” Yang Kai sighed. He had prayed that his guess was wrong, but he hadn’t expected it to be true. But what was going on?
“Demonic Qi!” Xiao Yuyang cried out in alarm. Even though they were separated by a hundred kilometers, he could still sense the various kinds of evil contained within the black aura. Moreover, a few years ago, when the Demonic Tribulation had erupted in the Plain Palace of the Southern Domain, he had also been present, so he was naturally familiar with Demonic Qi.
It was just that the Demonic Qi in the Plain Palace was incomparable to what he had seen before. Whether it was in terms of quality or quantity, they were clearly not on the same level.
How could there be Demonic Qi erupting from the sand funnel? Moreover, it was so continuous, as if the sand funnel was connected to a Demonic Qi storage source.
