The scenery in front of Yang Kai’s eyes changed, and by the time he regained his senses, he was already in another world.
Looking around, Yang Kai couldn’t help frowning.
This was indeed another continent, the Blood Flame Continent that was adjacent to Cloud Shadow's, but the scene here was somewhat different from what he had imagined. This entire world gave off a deathly and gloomy feeling, without the slightest hint of life.
The place he could see was barren. Not only were there no signs of living creatures, there were even no plants.
The ground was covered in yellow sand, and a fierce wind was blowing, stirring up a storm of dust and sand. From what he could see, there were more than a hundred earth-shattering tornadoes wreaking havoc, destroying everything in their path.
The environment of this Blood Flame Continent was so harsh?
Although Yang Kai knew that the environment of each of the Demon Territory’s continents was different, in general, most of the continents had pleasant conditions and were suitable for survival, but if the Blood Flame Continent was filled with such conditions, it was likely that the Demon Race here would not be able to survive.
The Embodiment obviously saw this and exchanged a glance with him, both of them somewhat bewildered, not knowing if this Blood Flame Continent was born this way or if some kind of change had occurred.
However, since he had come here, he naturally had to investigate.
Retrieving the Ruins of End, Yang Kai placed it on his shoulder and flew forward together with his Embodiment. Although the tornado’s momentum was astonishing, it did not affect them much.
Not long after, a huge ruin suddenly appeared in front of him, covering an area of about a thousand kilometers. From a distance, it looked like the outline of a city, but when he got closer, Yang Kai found that this city had become barren. The entire city was covered in yellow sand, and there was not a single living person in this huge city.
Sweeping his Divine Sense around, Yang Kai frowned and his figure flickered as he arrived at a certain place. Reaching out his hand, he summoned something from the ground.
This was the corpse of a Demon Race, and it was unknown which race it came from, but from the looks of it, it was a female corpse that had died a miserable death. Although there were no external injuries, it looked like it had suffered a great deal of torture before it died. All of its vitality had been completely devoured, just like Lie Kuang’s death. It had become a dried corpse that had been hidden under the yellow sand for many years before it was completely preserved.
Now that it had seen the wind, it was instantly reduced to dust, even the bones shattered.
On the other side, the Embodiment had also collected a number of corpses from the ground, just like the female Demon Race’s corpse. All of them were shriveled, and it was unknown who had swallowed their vitality.
There was no need to investigate further, all of the Demon Race in this city had probably died like this.
Moreover, since this place originally had a city, it meant that the environment here wasn’t so bad. Otherwise, how could the Demon Race survive here? The yellow sand and tornado should have appeared later.
Did the Demon Race also cultivate something similar to the Heavens Devourer Battle Law? Yang Kai frowned slightly, otherwise it would be difficult to explain the situation here, but what was with the environment here?
For a time, he couldn’t figure out what was going on, so he could only continue forward with his Embodiment to investigate.
After an entire day of searching, the scenery in front of them had not changed at all. Instead, they had discovered the ruins of several cities, some large and some small, but without exception, all of them were as they had first discovered. All of the Demon Race’s corpses had been reduced to dried corpses.
Yang Kai already felt that something was wrong. If there really was a Demon Race cultivating a Heavens Devourer Battle Law, it would be impossible for them to accomplish such a feat. Before the last World Gate on the Blood Flame Continent disappeared, the Demon King had already evacuated in advance, and the strongest person left behind was only a Demon Chief Commander, so how could they have the ability to massacre the entire city?
If he wanted to do this, he would at least be a High-Rank Demon King, but how could a High-Rank Demon King remain here?
Just as he was lost in thought, he suddenly heard his Embodiment shout, “Be careful!”
Yang Kai woke up and looked up. His eyes couldn’t help narrowing as he saw that the void in front of him had been cut off. A huge Void Gully lay in front of him, filled with a world-destroying tide of energy. A hundred kilometers away from the other side of the ravine, the shadow of another continent could be seen.
He and his Embodiment had actually run to the edge of the Blood Flame Continent?
But that wasn’t right. The Blood Flame Continent wasn’t small, how could it be so small? He and his Embodiment had only been here for a day, so how could they have flown to the edge?
Looking at the continent in front of him, it seemed to be connected to the continent he was on.
Yang Kai suddenly understood, “The Blood Flame has collapsed!”
The continent in front of him was obviously a fragment of the Blood Flame Continent, just like the one beneath his feet, but what kind of power was it that could cause a continent to collapse into countless fragments?
However, thinking about how the entire Demon Territory was in such a situation, it made sense.
Relatively speaking, the current situation of the Blood Flame Continent was a miniature version of the Demon Territory, but there was no life here. Could it be because the last World Gate had disappeared, allowing the Blood Flame to seperate from the entire Demon Territory?
This was also possible. If this was really the case, it would explain the harsh environment of the Blood Flame Continent.
If the Demon Territory was compared to a person, then every continent in the Demon Territory was the body of this person. Because all the World Gates had disappeared, the Blood Flame Continent had been separated from the Demon Territory’s map, causing the entire continent to collapse and evolve into this current state. If a person’s hand was cut off, this hand would also wither and decay. This was the best example of the current Blood Flame Continent.
Thinking about this, Yang Kai was shocked.
If this guess was correct, then the future of the Demon Territory would be worrying.
A person without a hand could survive, or even without four limbs, but what if even their five viscera and six bowels disappeared…
Each of these missing continents was equivalent to an organ of the Demon Territory. Once a large number of them disappeared, it would likely affect the survival of the entire Demon Territory! Could the Demon Race’s invasion of the Star Boundary be related to this?
With the Demon Territory gone, the Demon Race no longer had a place to stand, so they naturally had to find a new place to live, and the Star Boundary was their goal.
Thinking so, Yang Kai’s face went pale. If his guess was correct, then the Demon Territory’s invasion wasn’t as simple as just an invasion, but a situation where they would fight to the death with the Star Boundary! The number of living beings the Star Boundary could accommodate was also limited, and with the Demon Race’s massive numbers, the entire Star Boundary might not even be able to accommodate them, much less leave a foothold for them.
It was no wonder the Demon Saints had so easily agreed to the Great Emperors’ proposal at that time to prevent all Great Emperors from interfering in the war between the two worlds.
Firstly, they were afraid that too much power would destroy the stability of the Star Boundary, and secondly, they were probably trying to use this opportunity to wear down the population of the Demon Race.
As these thoughts flashed across his mind, Yang Kai’s expression also changed.
However, his Embodiment didn’t remain idle. It had already brought him through the Void Gully and arrived at another continent fragment.
Only then did Yang Kai withdraw his thoughts. There was no point in thinking about these things now. Even if he was right, so what? He still couldn’t stop the invasion of the Demon Territory, so his current plan was to first understand the situation on the Blood Flame Continent.
Originally, he had hoped that the Blood Flame Continent would bring him some benefits, but now it seemed that after leaving the Demon Territory’s territory, this continent had already withered and decayed, so there was probably no benefit for him to obtain.
After another day of investigation, the situation was exactly the same as before. This continent fragment was also filled with dead silence.
Yang Kai was lost in thought, but his Embodiment seemed to have noticed something. Staring at Yang Kai, it softly spat out three words, “Myriad Demon Cave!”
Yang Kai was stunned for a moment before his eyes suddenly lit up. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the Embodiment’s words made sense.
If it weren’t for his discovery in Myriad Demon Cave, Yang Kai wouldn’t have thought of this level. However, because he had discovered some secrets in Myriad Demon Cave, coupled with the miserable corpses, Yang Kai felt that the main culprit behind the deaths of the Demon Race here was likely Myriad Demon Cave and not some Demon Race master who had cultivated something like Heavens Devourer Battle Law.
The Myriad Demon Cave was constantly devouring the Demon Race’s Essence on the continent, but the speed at which it devoured it was extremely slow and would not affect any Demon Race, so no one noticed it, but what if it erupted with an extremely powerful force?
This was equivalent to using the Heavens Devourer Battle Law on all the living creatures on the continent. The consequences of this were terrifying, and it was in line with the death of the Demon Race here.
“Search!” Yang Kai spat out a single word and immediately began searching for the Myriad Demon Cave of the Blood Flame Continent.
If they could discover something in Myriad Demon Cave, it meant that their guess was correct.
However, now that the Blood Flame Continent had been reduced to rubble, Yang Kai didn’t even know where the Myriad Demon Cave was. Even if he did, he would have to search for it.
If he had known this would happen, he would have asked Lao Ke and the others to collect some information about the Blood Flame Continent. With the help of some information, it would have been better than the current situation.
Right now, he could only hope that the Blood Flame Continent’s Myriad Demon Cave hadn’t been destroyed by the great upheaval here.
After searching through the fragments for three days, Yang Kai finally found the Myriad Demon Cave on a continent fragment.
This was all thanks to the Ruin of End’s keen sense of smell and sensitivity to things related to the Demon Race. If it weren’t for its reminder, Yang Kai wouldn’t have been able to find the Myriad Demon Cave that had been buried more than ten meters underground.
Casting a spell, Yang Kai opened the ground and immediately saw a cave entrance. However, this cave entrance was also covered by the yellow sand, so it took Yang Kai some time to clear a path and enter.
After a few turns, there were no more obstacles.
The Myriad Demon Cave here was similar to Cloud Shadow’s, so although it was dim inside, it was unable to affect Yang Kai.
After walking for a while, Yang Kai found something that looked like a tumor on the cave wall. It was neither flesh nor stone, like a fruit.
