The Demon Territory's Hundreds of Races were also divided into different ranks.
Exploding Demons were undoubtedly the lowest level of existence. Their intelligence was low and they were often vassals of other Demon Race, but it was precisely because of their low intelligence that they were able to act without fear of death and regard self-destruction as their mission.
Even though Yang Kai held the Million Sword in his hand, cutting down countless Explosive Demons like he was chopping vegetables, he was still unable to make them hesitate in the slightest. They continued to emerge from the center of the Demon Earth, not even bothering to look at Yang Kai as they continued to charge forward, detonating their bodies at the right places.
This was basically the situation everyone else was facing.
Most of the people present were at the Emperor Realm, with the exception of Yao Lin, so dealing with these Explosive Demons was extremely simple. Any one of them could easily kill them.
One thousand, ten thousand, twenty thousand, thirty thousand…
Yang Kai didn’t know how many Explosive Demons he had killed, but he had already rushed into the Demon Earth and was now approaching the central region. Along the way, the ground was filled with Black Demon corpses, but instead of blood, what flowed out of them was pitch-black liquid. It was these things that had transformed the earth into Demon Earth.
At this time, the disparity between their cultivations quickly became apparent. Although First-Order and Second-Order Emperor Realm were able to cut through the chaos quickly, being wrapped in Demonic Qi for a long time would also consume a great deal of their strength. They had to constantly be on guard against the corrosion of Demonic Qi, not daring to let it contaminate them.
Four hours later, the First-Order Emperor Realm masters had basically all retreated.
Half a day later, the Second-Order Emperor Realm also retreated.
After that, the Third-Order cultivators also retreated.
Only Yang Kai and Li Wuyi were left, both of them wreaking havoc in the Demon Earth. It wasn’t surprising for Li Wuyi to be able to persist for such a long time. After all, he was a Pseudo Emperor, the strongest person under the Great Emperor Realm. For Yang Kai to be able to do so was quite surprising.
What they didn’t know was that Yang Kai wasn’t afraid of this Demonic Qi’s corrosion at all. He wasn’t even on guard against it and simply allowed himself to be exposed to it.
Yu Rumeng followed closely behind Yang Kai. Since Yang Kai rushed in, she had been following him closely, but she had only followed him and had no intention of killing those Black Demons. Yang Kai had only said a few words to her, but she had already turned hostile, almost causing Yang Kai to kill her with his sword.
It was as if the Black Demon could not be cut down. After a full day and night, Yang Kai suddenly stopped swinging his sword.
Turning his head to look around, he found that his surroundings were filled with broken corpses and the air was filled with an unpleasant smell. The entire world suddenly became extremely peaceful.
Without the continuous sounds of explosions and the constant running, the silence was somewhat uncomfortable.
The Black Demon’s explosion had finally stopped, and it could be said that no more Black Demons had appeared.
However, Yang Kai’s expression suddenly became serious as he raised his Million Sword and turned his head towards the center of the Demon Earth.
* Ta Ta Ta… *
A strange sound came from that direction, like the sound of horses’ hooves, neither fast nor slow, and the sharp sound of sharp blades scraping across the sand.
“Be careful,” Yu Rumeng suddenly warned.
Yang Kai didn’t say a word, as if he was facing a great enemy. In his perception, a powerful aura was slowly approaching him.
A moment later, two bright red lights appeared in his field of vision, and soon after, a huge figure appeared in his field of vision. This figure was about ten meters tall and was completely hazy, only the dark red light was filled with a savage aura.
It wasn’t until the other party was close enough that Yang Kai was able to clearly see the appearance of the person who had just arrived. It was a bronze-skinned, muscular man who was riding on the back of a terrifying monster. This monster exuded a monstrous Demonic Qi and was covered in spikes. At first glance, it looked like a horse, but whether it was its appearance or aura, it was clear that it was a powerful Demon Beast.
The burly man riding this Demon Beast exuded a terrifying pressure that is not inferior to a Third-Order Emperor Realm master.
“Demon King!” Yang Kai raised his brow.
Before, when countless Explosive Demons appeared, it was said that the passage between the Star Boundary and Demon Territory had been opened, but now, a Demon King had appeared, a Demon King comparable to a Third-Order Emperor Realm master. The situation had deteriorated too quickly.
The appearance of a Demon King meant that more Demon Kings would appear, and even Demon Saints would appear! These were existences comparable to Great Emperors.
The Demon King held a halberd-shaped Demon Artifact in his hand and dragged it across the ground. The friction between this Demon Artifact and the sand grains caused a piercing sound.
The Demon King suddenly stopped a hundred feet away from Yang Kai and the Demon Beast beneath him snorted, the light in its red eyes becoming even more ferocious.
As their eyes met, Yang Kai’s expression became solemn, but the Demon King simply grinned and pointed his halberd towards Yang Kai, laughing loudly, “Ha, human!” As if discovering something new, the Demon King’s eyes filled with interest.
Yang Kai stared at him coldly and asked, “How should I address you?”
“This King Meng Se, a mere ant seeing this King, quickly kneel!”
As soon as these words came out, Yu Rumeng, who had been quietly standing beside Yang Kai, suddenly glared at Meng Se coldly.
Meng Se’s brow wrinkled as she looked at Yu Rumeng thoughtfully, a trace of suspicion flashing across his face. After pondering for a moment, he raised his hand and said, “Forget it, this King was just joking with you.”
Yang Kai said lightly, “That’s not funny at all.”
Meng Se grinned and said, “Seeing how you’re acting, your strength isn’t bad, so your status in the Human Race shouldn’t be low. This King’s mood is quite good today, so I’ll let you off for now. When you get back, tell your Human Race’s leaders to quickly submit to my Demon Territory, or else my Demon Territory’s army will trample this world. If that happens, it will be too late to regret!”
“Sure!” Yang Kai nodded lightly, “If you can beat me, we’ll see.”
Meng Se leaned forward slightly, giving off a sense of oppression as he asked with a strange expression, “Are you challenging this King?”
“You think too highly of yourself!” Yang Kai curled his lips and suddenly stretched out his hand, “I’m going to kill you!”
Meng Se was somewhat stunned, seemingly not having expected Yang Kai to take the initiative to attack him. After all, in his perception, Yang Kai’s cultivation was lower than his own, how could a human be so fierce?
Before he could even think about it, he suddenly felt as if the space around him had been sealed and an invisible force had locked him in place. Before he could react, a black crescent moon-like attack had already struck him.
Meng Se’s expression changed. He had thought that Yang Kai was just a greenhorn, but after seeing him take action, he realized that his strength was extraordinary. That crescent moon-like attack seemed to tear through the void, and if he was caught off guard, even he would not be able to withstand it.
Unable to break free from the shackles of space in time, Meng Se let out a furious roar and thrust his halberd forward.
On the tip of the halberd, a fist-sized black ball of light suddenly appeared and met the moon blade.
With a loud bang, the moonblade disappeared, and Meng Se’s entire body shook as his Demon Beast mount let out a pitiful cry and retreated several steps.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yang Kai raised his sword and slashed towards his neck.
Meng Se’s eyes narrowed as a look of shock appeared on his face. Just now, when Yang Kai attacked, he had felt that this guy was somewhat extraordinary, but now he realized he had once again underestimated him.
This strange Space Imprisonment made it impossible for him to dodge, so he could only roar as his bronze skin glowed with a golden light.
* Clang… * A loud sound rang out and a burst of flames shot out. Yang Kai’s sword slashed towards Meng Se’s neck, but it didn’t have the desired effect. Meng Se’s neck was comparable to the toughest artifact in the world, so Yang Kai’s sword only left a three-inch mark on his neck.
“Stone Demon!” Yang Kai raised his brow, finally recognizing which Demon Race this Meng Se belonged to.
Stone Demon! No wonder it had such astonishing defensive power.
After this attack, Meng Se obviously didn’t sit back and wait for death. The halberd swept forward, whistling through the wind.
Yang Kai disappeared in a flash.
Meng Se’s attack missed, but he also took the opportunity to escape from the shackles of space, shaking his head as he exclaimed, “Amazing!”
“You’re not bad either,” Yang Kai’s expression was cold as his killing intent rose. A Demon King comparable to a Third-Order Emperor Realm master should be a rare talent in the Demon Territory. If he could kill him here, it would be of some help to the future situation.
It would have been fine if he hadn’t jumped out, but now that he had, how could he retreat so easily?
As he spoke, he had already secretly communicated with the Mysterious Boundary Bead, preparing to use his Embodiment to fight two against one at the critical moment, giving him a great surprise and killing this Meng Se as quickly as possible.
Meng Se chuckled, “Little brat, you should hurry up and inform them, you can’t kill me!”
“Then you’d better be careful,” Yang Kai sneered as he put away his Million Sword and quickly formed a series of hand seals.
Meng Se’s brow wrinkled as he instinctively felt that Yang Kai’s move was quite extraordinary, so he naturally didn’t want to waste any more time with him. He had only come here to deliver a message, so there was no need to fight to the death with a Human Race master. He nodded slightly towards Yang Kai and said, “This King will remember you. I hope we will meet again in the future.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a whirlpool suddenly appeared beneath him, and in the blink of an eye, Meng Se and his Demon Beast mount both disappeared into the whirlpool. In Yang Kai’s perception, they flew off at an incredible speed.
“Sand Demon!” Yang Kai frowned.
Being able to use such a method was obviously the work of Sand Demon. With Sand Demon secretly supporting him, Yang Kai was unable to keep Meng Se here, so he could only hatefully disperse the power he had gathered and look towards the depths of the Demon Earth with a worried expression.
“Do you know a lot about the Demon Race?” Yu Rumeng suddenly asked.
When she heard Yang Kai mention the Exploding Demon, Yu Rumeng had felt a bit strange. Now that Yang Kai had seen through Meng Se’s race and mentioned Sand Demon, Yu Rumeng naturally felt even more strange.
If it wasn’t someone who knew a lot about the Demon Race, it would be impossible for them to know such things.
