Most of the jade slips information were trivial matters that Yang Kai couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to. However, through the information gathered from these jade slips, Yang Kai gained some understanding of the internal strife of the Demon Race.
The Demon Race had never been a peaceful race. Even though there was still a great war between them and the Star Boundary, the internal situation was not harmonious. On the contrary, the flames of war continued to burn. Today, the Demon King of this continent and the Demon King of that continent had a dispute. Both sides had gathered a large number of people to attack each other, and tomorrow, the Demon Kings of that continent would seek help to take revenge. In short, some places were in chaos.
This only further convinced Yang Kai that there were too many people on the Demon Race’s side, and that the Demon Saints intended to use all kinds of methods to wear down their numbers. Otherwise, all he needed to do was throw all of them into the Two World Battlefield.
Only the information revealed in one of the jade slips caught his attention. The information recorded in this jade slip was about a place called the Eternal Heaven Continent (Zhoutian Continent). This continent originally had six World Gates that led to six different continents, but more than a year ago, four World Gates had suddenly disappeared. Not only that, the remaining two World Gates were heavily guarded and no one was allowed to enter or leave.
At first glance, there seemed to be nothing special about this piece of information. For nearly ten thousand years, the disappearance of World Gates on the continent had been a common occurrence, and many continents had disappeared from the Demon Territory’s map. In the eyes of those who didn’t know the truth, the Eternal Heaven Continent was undoubtedly going to meet the end of those missing continents.
However, Yang Kai’s eyes suddenly lit up.
Although the time recorded in this piece of information was uncertain, it matched the time when the war between the two worlds broke out. In other words, the Bright Moon Great Emperor had fallen into the Demon Territory during that time.
The sudden disappearance of four World Gates was clearly too abnormal. Looking at the World Gates that had disappeared from the Demon Territory, all of them had shown some abnormal reactions before slowly disappearing, but the four World Gates of the Eternal Heaven Continent seemed to have mysteriously closed up overnight and disappeared without a trace.
This situation could only mean that an external force had interfered with these four World Gates and even caused them to collapse.
The only one who possessed such great strength was the Demon Saint.
In other words, it was extremely likely that a Demon Saint had once fought in the Eternal Heaven Continent, and only a Great Emperor could fight a Demon Saint!
In the blink of an eye, Yang Kai came up with a comprehensive plan. When the four Great Emperors had entered the Demon Realm together to investigate, they had been ambushed by the Demon Saints. The Bright Moon Great Emperor had sacrificed himself to delay the Demon Saints, allowing Iron Blood and the others to escape back to the Star Boundary. After that, they had fought and retreated all the way to the Eternal Heaven Continent. In the end, they had fought to the death with the Demon Saints on the Eternal Heaven Continent, causing their energy to dissipate and shatter the World Gate!
If this guess was true, then Bright Moon Great Emperor must have fallen into the Eternal Heaven Continent. As for whether he was alive or dead, Yang Kai didn’t know. However, Bright Moon Great Emperor was a Great Emperor who had obtained the approval of the Star Boundary, so if anything were to happen to him, the Star Boundary would definitely undergo some kind of mutation. In addition, Great Emperor Tian Shu had once said that Bright Moon Great Emperor still had a chance of survival, so Yang Kai felt that Bright Moon Great Emperor was not dead, only trapped.
Eternal Heaven Continent… Yang Kai gripped the jade slip tightly, his expression filled with excitement.
After coming to the Demon Territory for such a long time, he had finally found some clues, so he didn’t waste his time and effort. He quickly took out the map he had bought earlier to investigate, and when he saw the location of the Eternal Heaven Continent, he couldn’t help frowning.
This Eternal Heaven Continent was not in Yu Rumeng’s territory, which made things difficult for him.
If the Eternal Heaven Continent was in Yu Rumeng’s territory, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to sneak into it with the help of the Space Laws, but now that the Eternal Heaven Continent was in the territory of another Demon Saint, things were a bit difficult.
He was a human after all, Yu Rumeng valued him so much that she was willing to use her Heart Seal Secret Technique to bring him back to the Demon Territory, but that didn’t mean the other Demon Saints thought the same way. If he rashly ran into someone else’s territory, if he were to run into them, they would simply crush him to death.
However, no matter what, he really needed to make a trip to the Eternal Heaven Continent. At the very least, he needed to figure out if the Bright Moon Great Emperor was inside. If he was, he could think of a way to save him, but if he wasn’t, he would have to continue investigating.
However, before that, it would be best to allow his Embodiment to break through to the Half-Saint Realm. At that time, his safety would be guaranteed.
Just as he was lost in thought, he heard the sound of footsteps behind him. Yang Kai frowned and put away the jade slip and map unhappily, wondering why Xiao Wu was so ignorant. He had clearly ordered her not to let anyone in.
Turning his head back, he was slightly startled.
The person who came was not Xiao Wu, but a beautiful woman with an enchanting figure, a charming face, and tender red lips. This woman should be a Snow Demon, with her long silver hair hanging down to her hips and her skin as white as snow. She wore a long white dress, giving off a pure and holy aura.
This kind of pure and holy dress formed a strong visual conflict with her enchanting charm, giving off a feeling of both pure and demonic.
Yang Kai couldn’t help glancing at her a few more times, secretly wondering if there was such a person in the City Palace. Why hadn’t he seen her before?
However, from her posture, it seemed she was just a maidservant carrying a plate over. On the plate was a cup of dark red blood wine and a bunch of grape-like spirit fruits.
As their eyes met, the woman’s smile caused the world to lose its color. Only this beautiful smile caused Yang Kai’s heart to sink.
Fortunately, the Soul Warming Lotus gave off a cold aura, causing him to suddenly wake up.
In an instant, the alarm in his heart rang and Yang Kai’s face sank as he suddenly slapped the pool of water. Activating his Emperor Qi, the pool of water transformed into countless tiny drops of water that flew towards the Snow Demon. Each drop of water was supported by Yang Kai’s Emperor Qi and was extremely heavy.
Snow Demon's beautiful eyes flashed a trace of surprise, obviously not having expected Yang Kai to recover so quickly and react so quickly and decisively, directly attacking her. Seeing the countless water droplets approaching her, she smiled and waved her hand, causing the tens of thousands of water droplets that Yang Kai had poured his Emperor Qi into to float in front of her, seemingly frozen in place.
When she looked again, Yang Kai had already used her sleeve to block her vision and soared into the sky, his aura surging as he mercilessly struck out with his palm.
Snow Demon's face was filled with warmth. But Yang Kai’s actions had undoubtedly angered her, and she gently raised her jade white palm to meet him.
With a loud bang, a shockwave swept out, causing the tables in the room to rattle and the pool water to tumble out. Yang Kai was surprised to find that he had underestimated this woman. Although he hadn’t used his full strength, that palm strike was not something an ordinary Demon King could easily receive. For her to block this blow so easily, she was at least a High-Rank Demon King, perhaps even a… Half-Saint!
If it was a month ago, Yang Kai might have been a bit afraid. He had not been able to resist the might of a Half-Saint before, but now that his Embodiment had become the Lord of Cloud Shadow, his Embodiment was blessed by the Heavens on this continent. Even if the other party was really a Half-Saint, Yang Kai wasn’t afraid. If she provoked him and he released his Embodiment, he could guarantee that even her mother wouldn’t be able to recognize her. When the time came, he could do whatever he wanted and show her how powerful he was.
When he landed, Yang Kai had already summoned the Million Sword and pointed them towards the Snow Demon, his nose pointing towards the sky as he arrogantly shouted, “Who is this lowly maid!”
Snow Demon's originally unhappy face suddenly collapsed, and the plate she had been holding in her hand also trembled slightly, obviously quite angry. Her beautiful eyes coldly stared at Yang Kai as she lightly asked, “What did you say?” The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, seemingly smiling, but in reality there was not the slightest hint of a smile.
“You should have heard what I said. Hurry up and tell me your name so I can spare your life!” Yang Kai coldly snorted before taking out a set of clothes from his Space Ring and casually tying them around his waist to protect his vitals. He had been naked before, so there was nothing he could do about it. This woman had come too suddenly, so he didn’t have the time to dress himself.
Regardless of what the other party’s intentions were, just the fact that he had not invited her was enough to make Yang Kai view her as an enemy. He didn’t remember having such a Demon King under his command. The other party’s strength wasn’t weak, obviously not from the Shadow Cloud Continent, or even from the Blue Plains Continent. It was laughable that this lowly maid had even disguised herself as a maid to approach him, but he didn’t know what her purpose was.
“You’re quite bold, actually daring to speak to this Queen in such a manner,” Snow Demon was clearly on the verge of erupting in anger, but she still couldn’t help laughing.
“You’re quite bold, daring to barge in while a man is taking a bath. Aren’t you afraid something will happen between a man and a woman alone?” As he spoke, he deliberately glanced up and down, as if he wanted to use his eyes to look at her.
Snow Demon asked lightly, “What do you want to happen?”
Yang Kai grinned and said, “When the time comes, the spear will point to anything that can happen.”
Snow Demon looked at him with a strange expression before suddenly covering her mouth and laughing. Although her appearance was pure and holy, it didn’t mean she couldn’t understand Yang Kai’s words. On the contrary, this smile made her appear somewhat charming.
“Laugh my ass! Is it really that funny? If you laugh again, I’ll knock your teeth out,” Yang Kai looked at her and cursed in his heart. Why were all the Demon Territory’s women so unrestrained, Yu Rumeng was like this, and this Snow Demon was also like this. Now that he was almost naked, she didn’t even try to look away.
After a while, Snow Demon's smile disappeared and she slowly shook her head, her beautiful hair fluttering behind her like a silver fairy, “Originally, I planned to punish you severely, but seeing how interesting you are, I decided to give you a small punishment.” Pausing for a moment, she tilted her head to look at Yang Kai and said, “But then again, if Yu Rumeng were to find out that you were teasing this Queen like this, do you think she would punish you?”
Yang Kai’s brow wrinkled as he arrogantly replied, “It’s not certain who will take care of who, but you, your tone is as bold.”
