“Not for now. He should have escaped.”
Yang Kai asked curiously, “How can Senior be so certain?” After Mo Huang and the others had returned, only Bright Moon Emperor was left behind. When the time came, how could Bright Moon Emperor be their opponent? It was even possible that he would die.
Mo Huang smiled faintly, “Bright Moon is a Great Emperor after all, how could it be so easy to capture him? Moreover… if he dies, I can sense it.”
He didn’t explain how he was able to sense it, but Yang Kai guessed that it had something to do with the Star Boundary. The ten Great Emperors had all been acknowledged by this world, so any one of them falling here would definitely cause a phenomenon.
While the two of them were talking, Mo Huang suddenly raised his brow and turned his eyes towards the distance, quickly saying, “There’s some movement from the Demon Race.”
Yang Kai’s expression became solemn as he also raised his head and looked over. Sure enough, inside the Demon Land, countless Demon Race cultivators were slowly pushing outwards, seemingly preparing to attack.
Mo Huang’s expression sank, “They must have discovered the existence of the Space Array and are trying to destroy it to delay our gathering.”
After all, there weren’t many people here, and in just a few days, a hundred thousand people had suddenly gathered. The Demon Race wasn’t blind, so they would certainly be able to see some clues. Those with a little bit of intelligence wouldn’t allow the situation to continue developing, so they would definitely try to destroy the Spirit Array first.
The Demon Race’s million strong army nearly poured out in full force, but their steps were still orderly. The sound of their footsteps was so loud that it caused the earth to tremble.
How could the cultivators of the North Region not notice? Immediately, as if they were facing a great enemy, all of them rushed off.
The scene became somewhat chaotic, a stark contrast to the Demon Race.
Mo Huang glanced back and said, “They’re all from your Northern Domain, you should go dispatch them, don’t make a mess.”
Yang Kai nodded solemnly before flying back and shouting, “Prepare for battle!”
Someone immediately came forward and cupped his hands, “Palace Master Yang, the Demon Race has arrived.”
This man had a First-Order Emperor Realm cultivation and was about fifty years old. Yang Kai found him familiar, but he couldn’t remember which Sect he was from. He seemed to be some kind of Sect Master, and this time there were more than three hundred disciples.
At this moment, this man’s face was filled with panic and fear.
To the cultivators of the Star Boundary, fighting one on one or even in a group was a common occurrence. After cultivating for so long, who hadn’t had any conflicts with others? Who didn’t take a few lives?
However, this was the first time a battle between two armies had taken place. Among the hundred thousand people present, besides Yang Kai who had experienced such a large-scale battle, no one else had experienced such a thing.
As a result, when they saw the dense mass of Demon Race’s people rushing towards them, their first reaction was to quickly flee. Everyone knew that two fists were no match for four hands, and their numbers were obviously inferior to the other party’s, perhaps even one-tenth of their number. How could they fight?
If even an Emperor Realm master like him had such thoughts, there was no need to mention the other Principle Source Stage and Void King Realm masters. If it weren’t for Mo Huang holding down the fort here, they would have immediately scattered.
Yang Kai’s cold eyes swept across the surrounding area before finally fixing on the Emperor Realm cultivator and calmly saying, “This King is not blind. This King saw the Demon Race approaching, so he called you all to prepare for battle!”
Immediately, someone asked, “Palace Master Yang, do you know how many Demon Race members there are?”
Yang Kai replied indifferently, “The Beast Martial Lord said there were a million!”
“A million!” The group of people were stunned. Although they knew that the number of people from the Demon Race was quite high, they didn’t know the exact number. Now that they heard the word ‘a million’, all of them shivered.
“Are you afraid?” Yang Kai swept his eyes over everyone.
No one answered, but those terrified expressions were undoubtedly the best answer.
“So what if there are a million of them?” Yang Kai shouted, “Most of them are nothing more than shrimp soldiers and crab generals. Although there are many of them, they can’t even withstand a single blow. All of you are above the Void King Realm, so how can you be afraid of them! Beast Martial Lord said that they must have discovered the existence of the Space Array and wanted to destroy it, but this is the key to the teleportation of the Southern Domain and Eastern Domain cultivators. We cannot afford to lose, so no matter what, we must defend the Space Array and defeat the Demon Race!”
The group of people fell silent. All of them were from the North Region, and High Heaven Palace was the leader of the North Region’s Sect. Now that Yang Kai had used the tiger skin of Beast Martial Great Emperor as a flag, even if they were afraid, they didn’t dare to voice any objections, but all of them wore worried expressions, wondering if this day next year would be their death anniversary.
Their morale was low! Seeing this, Yang Kai was furious. Fortunately, the cultivators from the Eastern and Southern Regions hadn’t come, otherwise, wouldn’t he have lost all his face?
Pondering for a moment, Yang Kai said, “This is the first battle between my Star Boundary and the Demon Territory, and the meaning behind it is profound. If we lose this battle, how can we have the confidence to face the Demon Race in the future? The Demon Race is cruel, and when the time comes, they will invade the Star Boundary, seize the foundation of your Sects, seize your wives and daughters, and slaughter your descendants. What face do you have to face your ancestors in the afterlife?!” A series of questions rang out like thunder from the nine heavens, ringing in the ears of the hundred thousand people present. Although these words were unpleasant to hear, many people’s eyes turned red. The scene described by Yang Kai was truly unacceptable. Although they knew he was just exaggerating, if the Demon Race really did invade the Star Boundary, such a thing would definitely happen.
“We must win this battle!” Yang Kai shouted, “And we must win beautifully! The billions of cultivators of the Star Boundary will remember today’s battle and remember all of your contributions! This is the glory of our Northern Domain’s cultivators!”
“Also…” Yang Kai glanced in the direction of Mo Huang, “Beast Martial Lord is guarding this place, what are you afraid of?”
Seeing that the time was right, Li Jiao immediately stepped forward and cupped his fists, “This Li and the entire Fire Dragon Palace are willing to follow Palace Master Yang to battle and slaughter the Demon Race’s million strong army to display the might of our Northern Domain!”
Mi Qi was stunned for a moment before quickly cupping his fists and saying, “This Mi and the entire Full Sky Sect are willing to fight alongside Palace Master Yang, we swear to destroy the Demon Race!”
Bing Yun smiled lightly, “Although Ice Heart Valley’s disciples are all women, at this time they cannot be weaker than you men…”
The leaders of the top Sects of the Northern Domain had already spoken, and even Ice Heart Valley had expressed their stance, so how could the other Sects not be willing to follow suit? Whether they were willing or not, they all expressed their opinions.
“Victory!” Li Jiao raised his arms and shouted, and the group from Fire Dragon Palace immediately responded.
A few moments later, the voices of a hundred thousand cultivators had gathered together!
“Prepare for battle!” Yang Kai shouted.
The leaders of the various great Sects and families immediately began to gather their disciples, and the scene finally became much clearer.
Yang Kai’s heart also relaxed by half. No matter what, this morale was barely enough to lift his spirits. Now, all he could do was wait and see what the result would be. If they were to continue fighting like a hot knife through butter, this high morale would undoubtedly continue. If the Northern Domain collapsed at any moment, all his efforts would be in vain.
However, he felt that the North Region’s chances of winning were still quite high. Not to mention anything else, with so many masters from the Wild Ancient Land on his side, there was no reason he couldn’t defeat these Demon Race vanguard forces.
Boom boom boom…
It was as if a great army was rushing forward, and as Yang Kai mobilized the hundred thousand cultivators of the North Region, the Demon Race’s army pushed forward at a crazy speed.
Everyone could clearly see the ugly faces of the Demon Race at the very front. They were a group of deformed Red Demon and Green Demon that were only half the height of a human. The red and green ones looked quite funny, and if anyone who didn’t know the inside story saw them, they would probably command their own people to rush forward to meet the enemy.
At that time, it was obvious what would happen.
However, Yang Kai sneered in his heart. He had participated in the great war between the Human Race and Demon Race, and he had seen Red Demon and Green Demon act as cannon fodder countless times. How could he so easily step into such an obvious trap?
The Northern Region cultivators had also heard him explain the characteristics and innate Divine Abilities of the Demon Race’s various races, so when they saw a group of red and green demon rushing over, they immediately understood that this was the Demon Race that Yang Kai had mentioned before.
After those Red Demon self-destructed, they would cause massive damage, and after the Green Demon self-destructed, they would drop poisonous substances, so the most effective way to deal with them was naturally to prevent them from approaching.
There were quite a number of Red Demon and Green Demon, more than a hundred thousand of them. All of them rushed over in a disorderly manner, and for a time, the wilderness was filled with demons.
Yang Kai, on the other hand, led the hundred thousand North Region cultivators forward for ten kilometers, preparing for battle.
High up in the sky, Yang Kai’s expression was solemn as the hundred thousand strong army behind him, with the Sects and Clans as a unit, lined up in a somewhat impressive formation.
* Rumble… *
Red Demon and Green Demon quickly closed the distance between them, but Yang Kai did not move, instead hearing the sounds of gulping from behind him.
Closer, closer.
As one artifact after another was summoned, waves of invisible energy fluctuations began to gather, condensing into a tide of energy that caused the world to change color.
At that moment, Yang Kai’s eyes flashed with a terrifying light as he shouted, “Attack!”
As he finished speaking, he took the initiative to swing his sword.
Under the surge of Emperor Qi, the overwhelming Sword Ray shot forward like a storm, crossing through space and passing through the Demon Race’s camp.
Boom boom boom…
Red Demon and Green Demon exploded one after another. After the Red Demon exploded, a small mushroom cloud appeared where they stood, causing the void to tremble. After the Green Demon exploded, a green aura appeared in a radius of a few dozen meters.
Immediately after, rays of light of different colors poured down.
In the North Region, there were hundreds of Emperor Realm masters, and the others were all above the Void King Realm. Who didn’t have some kind of long-range attack method? Who didn’t have one or two artifacts capable of long-range attacks?
This round of attacks was extremely spectacular.
From a distance, it seemed as if countless beams of light had burst forth from the place where the cultivators of the North Region were gathered, blasting towards the Demon Race’s camp.
A series of explosions rang out between the heavens and earth, like the sound of beans being fried.
