The thing inside the tumor was naturally the Myriad Demon Pill, Yang Kai was certain of this.
However, what surprised him was that the cave wall in front of him was filled with this kind of tumor that gave birth to Myriad Demon Pills. There were at least several dozen of them.
Why were there so many?
Although the Myriad Demon Cave on Cloud Shadow’s side was also in the same state, there were obviously far fewer of them. All of them were separated by some distance, so it was impossible for them to be so densely packed together.
Before Yang Kai could figure out what was happening, the Ruins of End that had been crawling on his shoulder rushed over excitedly and threw itself against the cave wall. With a flick of its tongue, half of the tumor disappeared. With a loud gulp, a large lump appeared in its throat and rolled into its stomach.
The big tongue rolled again and the remaining tumor disappeared…
Yang Kai’s face darkened. He had been hoping to obtain more Myriad Demon Pills for his Embodiment so that it could reach the Half-Saint realm as soon as possible and become his most powerful helper, but who would have thought that the Ruins of End would have such a taste?
The Ruins of End liked to swallow the Demon Race, and this Myriad Demon Pill was formed from the Demonic Qi’s essence, so naturally it was favored by it.
Dozens of Myriad Demon Pills were gone just like that. Yang Kai’s heart ached as he quickly reached out and grabbed this evil creature. Ignoring its cries and protests, he directly threw it into the Mysterious Small World.
Turning his head to look at the barren cave walls, Yang Kai’s face twitched violently. In his heart, he only hoped that there would be more Myriad Demon Pills in this Myriad Demon Cave, instead of all the Myriad Demon Pills in the outside.
Calming his mind, Yang Kai walked deeper into the cave, and after a while, he smiled again.
Sure enough, there were even more Myriad Demon Pills here, just like what he had seen earlier. They were densely packed together and there were several dozen of them.
With his previous experience collecting Myriad Demon Pills, Yang Kai reached out and touched the tumor, instantly causing it to bloom like a blossoming flower. A round Myriad Demon Pill fell out and was quickly caught by him.
Just as he was about to stuff it into his Space Ring, Yang Kai seemed to have noticed something and carefully examined the Myriad Demon Pill in his hand. After a moment, his thick eyebrows rose and he revealed a look of joy.
He discovered that the Myriad Demon Pills here were slightly larger than the ones he had obtained before, and their quality seemed to be better.
Since he couldn’t figure it out, Yang Kai didn’t intend to delve into it. In any case, the better the Myriad Demon Pill was, the more useful it would be to his Embodiment.
Along the way, Yang Kai could be said to be happily harvesting the Myriad Demon Cave. The scene inside was beyond his imagination, and every ten meters or so, he would be able to find a large number of Myriad Demon Pills. There were at least twenty or thirty of them in one place, and at most forty or fifty of them. The number of pills Cloud Shadow had collected last time was simply incomparable.
After more than an hour, Yang Kai finally arrived at the deepest part of Myriad Demon Cave. He had reached the end of the road, and there was no way forward. All the Myriad Demon Pills he passed by had been collected.
In the end, he took out his Space Ring and counted the number of Myriad Demon Pills he had obtained. There were more than 1,400 of them! If he counted the ones Ruins of End had eaten in the beginning, the total number of Myriad Demon Pills he had obtained in this Myriad Demon Cave was about 1,500.
This number shocked Yang Kai. Although he had expected this from the start, so many Myriad Demon Pills still shocked him.
According to normal calculations, the Blood Flame Continent had disappeared for about a thousand years, and even if it could produce a Myriad Demon Pill every hundred years, it would only produce ten batches every thousand years. Each batch would produce several dozen pills, and ten batches would produce a few hundred pills, much less than a thousand and five hundred pills.
However, Yang Kai knew that the Myriad Demon Pills here weren’t produced under normal circumstances, but rather because the Blood Flame had undergone some kind of mutation. The Myriad Demon Cave here had suddenly erupted with a powerful force, swallowing all living beings on the entire continent to produce this fruit.
Of course, if the Demon Race’s Essence in the entire Blood Flame was converted into Myriad Demon Pills, it would definitely be far more than a 1500. Even 15,000 or more, it would be difficult to measure, but this continent was originally a withered part of the Demon Territory, so it was likely that Myriad Demon Cave would not be able to operate normally. To be able to produce an excellent 1500 pills was already a stroke of luck, to ask for more was simply too greedy.
By the time Yang Kai walked out of Myriad Demon Cave, his Embodiment was still nowhere to be seen, but he didn’t need to look for it. There was a subtle connection between them, so if he couldn’t find Myriad Demon Cave, it would definitely come looking for him.
On the other hand, the continent beneath his feet…
Yang Kai pondered for a long time before finally making up his mind. Raising his hand, he summoned the Mysterious Boundary Bead and formed a series of hand seals. The Mysterious Boundary Bead burst into a cloud of smoke and transformed into a giant creature that covered the sky, like a fat fish. However, it only had the outline of a fish and no facial features. Instead, it had a bloody mouth that could swallow the sky and swallow the earth.
It opened its bloody mouth and bit down on the continent beneath its feet, causing a huge chunk of it to disappear.
When Yang Kai returned to the Star Field years ago, the Mysterious Boundary Bead had undergone some kind of mutation, allowing it to transform into such a massive entity that could swallow a planet. Three Cultivation Stars of the Great Desolate Star Field had been swallowed by it, causing the space inside the Mysterious Boundary Bead to become incomparably vast. So far, the three Cultivation Stars had been able to survive in the Mysterious Small World.
Since the Blood Flame Continent no longer had any living creatures and had been reduced to fragments, it was perfect for the Mysterious Boundary Bead to swallow.
After all, there were still remnants of the Demon Domain’s World Laws here, so it was still very useful for perfecting the space inside the Mysterious Boundary Bead. Since Blood Flame Continent could no longer return to the Demon Territory, it was only natural that he couldn’t waste such a huge resource.
As it bit down, the fragments of the continent beneath his feet shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the place where they disappeared was a void filled with chaos and endless void.
In just a few days, this fragment had been completely swallowed up by the small Mysterious Small World, leaving nothing behind. Under Yang Kai’s control, it continued to move towards the fragment of another continent.
The Embodiment finally came over and seemed to have also noticed the commotion here. It only glanced at Gun Gun for a moment before accepting the Space Ring Yang Kai had tossed over. After scanning it with his Divine Sense, he exclaimed, “So many!”
It was obviously shocked by the massive number of Myriad Demon Pills.
According to Yang Kai’s previous estimations, three thousand Myriad Demon Pills were enough to allow his Embodiment to truly break through to the Half-Saint Realm. This goal was now more than half complete. If he could find another place similar to the Blood Flame Continent, he would be able to collect all the cultivation resources his Embodiment needed before the Half-Saint Realm.
The Demon Territory had lost many continents over the years, and the Blood Flame was just one of them. Now that they had the assistance of the Ruins of End, it was easy to find other missing continents.
Yang Kai had already made up his mind that after this matter was settled, he would search for the other missing continent and collect the Myriad Demon Pills. Once his avatar became a Half-Saint, it would be much easier for him to move about the Demon Territory.
Was this his opportunity?
Before he came here, Tian Shu Great Emperor had told him that in this Demon Territory, he had a fortuitous opportunity and a tribulation. Yang Kai had some trust in the Tian Shu Great Emperor’s words. Since he was called Tian Shu Great Emperor, he naturally had his own reasons, but if this opportunity was this, what kind of tribulation was it?
Could it be that his intentions had been exposed and he had fallen out with Yu Rumeng?
In the Demon Territory, becoming enemies with a Demon Saint was truly a great disaster!
Swallowing the Blood Flame Continent’s fragments would take some time, so Yang Kai alone would be enough. His Embodiment had already returned to the Mysterious Small World to refine the Myriad Demon Pill.
The Myriad Demon Pills he had obtained from Cloud Shadow last time had already been completely devoured by it. This time, he had obtained more than 1400 pills from Blood Flame Continent. Even with the Embodiment's Heavens Devourer Battle Law, it would take at least two months to completely refine it.
Although the Heavens Devourer Battle Law was powerful, it wasn’t omnipotent. There was always a limit to how much it could withstand. If one swallowed too many Myriad Demon Pills at once, it would need time to digest them, allowing it to display its full potential.
In the blink of an eye, more than twenty days had passed, and Gun Gun had finally devoured all of the Blood Flame Continent. Not only had the space inside the Mysterious Boundary Bead expanded greatly, but there were also some Demon Territory World Laws.
The tunnel he had entered before had disappeared, probably because it had been assimilated by the World Laws of Cloud Shadow.
Fortunately, there was the Ruins of End, so Yang Kai was able to release it and allow it to find a path through the void before returning to Cloud Shadow.
After determining the direction, he flew towards Shadow Cloud City.
Entering the city and entering the palace, the surrounding guards all bowed respectfully.
As soon as he took office, he had killed Lie Kuang with lightning speed. Even now, Lie Kuang’s dried corpse was still hanging at the highest point of his mansion, and no one dared to put it down. Afterwards, he led the Demon Race here to fight against Blue Plains, defeating the strong as the weak, killing the six High-Rank Demon Kings of Blue Plains, completely subduing Blue Plains, repairing the World Gate by himself, maintaining the stability of the World Gate, and ensuring that the Shadow Cloud Continent remained intact…
Everything that had happened in the past few months had shocked everyone. Even though the Demon Race from the City Palace had not personally participated, they had all heard about it, so how could they not be respectful?
For the Demon Race, having a strong and powerful superior was a great honor.
Since he didn’t see Lao Ke and the others, and didn’t know what they were busy with, Yang Kai didn’t plan on looking for them.
Summoning Xiao Wu, he instructed her to prepare some warm water while he bathed and changed.
These past few days, he had been constantly on the move and had become quite worn out. This was a good opportunity for him to think about his next plan.
A moment later, in a large pool, the water temperature was moderate and the pool was filled with flower petals, giving off a pleasant fragrance. Yang Kai leaned against the wall of the pool and immersed himself in the water. With one hand resting on the edge of the pool, he casually took out a jade slip from the side and examined it.
These jade slips had all been given to him by Xiao Wu just now, and it was said that the spies from the two continents had gathered all the information they had gathered recently. However, because Yang Kai wasn’t here, they could only temporarily be kept by her.
Yang Kai had sent out those scouts, but he hadn’t been able to determine what kind of information they would inquire. He had only ordered them to report all the major and minor details to him. After all, this matter concerned the Bright Moon Great Emperor, so he didn’t dare to take it lightly. He only hoped to find some clues from these inquiries to see if there were any traces of the Bright Moon Great Emperor’s whereabouts.
