He had been in the Demon Territory for quite some time and had passed through countless World Gates, but none of them had ever been guarded by anyone, unless it was to seal off a certain continent. However, this World Gate to the Hundred Spirit Continent was guarded by a Half-Saint, so the problem was obvious.
As soon as they met, the Half-Saint guarding the World Gate simply nodded lightly and swept his eyes over Yang Kai before letting them pass.
Passing through the World Gate, the group of four successfully arrived at the Hundred Spirit Continent.
Yang Kai wasn’t familiar with this continent, and before this, he didn’t even know how special this continent was in the Demon Territory, but he had seen its existence on the map and knew it was extremely vast.
Cloud Shadow Continent was not small, and even if one were to look at the entire Demon Territory, it was still a medium-sized continent, but the Hundred Spirit Continent was at least five times larger than Cloud Shadow Continent. It could be said to be one of the largest continents in the Demon Territory.
Thinking about it, it wasn’t strange. After all, this was the territory occupied by the Demon Territory's Holy Spirits, so it wouldn’t be appropriate for it to be so small.
Everyone didn’t stop and continued flying forward.
Yang Kai looked around in boredom, his eyes quickly becoming curious.
He discovered that in the Spiritual Mountains and Rivers below him, there were many Demon Beasts running and roaring, and even in the sky, there were many strange flying Demon Beasts flying back and forth.
There were countless of them.
It wasn’t that he hadn’t seen any Demon Beasts in other parts of the Demon Territory. Many Demon Kings liked to use powerful Demon Beasts as mounts, but he had never seen such a dense number of Demon Beasts on any continent.
Continuously flying forward, Yang Kai found traces of Demon Beasts in almost every region.
This Hundred Spirit Continent’s name was probably more appropriate to be called the Ten Thousand Beast Continent, and what was even rarer was that many of these Demon Beasts exuded powerful auras that were not inferior to the Demon Kings Yang Kai had seen before.
“A lot, right?” The older sister on the left suddenly asked.
Yang Kai didn’t know what she was talking about, but he quickly understood and nodded, “Indeed.”
The younger sister on the right sneered, “There is more in the past.”
Yang Kai frowned, not understanding what she meant, but just as he was wondering, her sister explained, “My Hundred Spirit Continent is not restricted by any Demon Saints, and although it seems to be free and unfettered, it’s actually just trying to survive in the cracks. This continent is very suitable for the survival of Demon Beasts. In addition, many of the Demon Beasts here have the Holy Spirit’s bloodline, so they’re very popular with the outside world. If we can obtain a mount that can be tamed to become our own, it will also be helpful in increasing our strength. On the battlefield, it will be like adding wings to a tiger, so my Hundred Spirit Continent sends out a large number of Demon Beasts every hundred years.”
Yang Kai listened quietly, somewhat understanding why the Hundred Spirit Continent was able to survive in the cracks between the two continents. It was undeniable that the strength of the Hundred Spirit Continent’s owner was so great that even the Demon Saints feared it and didn’t dare act rashly, but treating this place as a breeding ground for Demon Beasts was the biggest reason why the Demon Saints tolerated the existence of the Hundred Spirit Continent.
Countless years of oppression and extortion had caused the Hundred Spirit Continent’s living beings to become extremely hostile towards the outside world. This was also the reason why the Holy Spirit didn’t show the slightest bit of reverence towards Yu Rumeng and even dared to oppose her.
The older sister grit her teeth and said, “There are also some shameless bastards who secretly snuck into my Hundred Spirit Continent and wantonly killed the Demon Beasts here!” Of course, once they were discovered, these people would not have a good end.
In the past, when there was no one guarding the World Gate, this kind of thing often happened. Some Demon Kings would secretly enter the Hundred Spirit Continent in groups of three or five and then immediately retreat after succeeding.
It was for this reason that the World Gates of the Hundred Spirit Continent were guarded by Half-Saint, not allowing any outsiders to enter.
Yang Kai frowned, “Why are you telling me this?” Strictly speaking, he was just a captive now, so there was no need to explain anything to him about the Hundred Spirit Continent, right?
The older sister smiled lightly, “I just feel that you should know how pitiful my Hundred Spirit Continent’s living beings are, while you have the ability to change everything.”
“What ability do I have?” Yang Kai was speechless. In the eyes of the Demon Race, his greatest role was to repair the World Gate, which was also the foundation of many Demon Saints favor. “Speaking of which, didn’t you bring me here to repair the World Gate?”
The older sister smiled mysteriously, “You’ll know when the time comes.”
Yang Kai suddenly had a bad feeling. This trip was definitely not as simple as he thought!
Along the way, without saying a word, they passed through Spiritual Mountain and River until a huge castle appeared in front of them. Only then did the twin sisters and the horned Holy Spirit show a look of excitement.
The castle took up a vast amount of space and was situated in a mountain range, surrounded by towering mountains and precipitous mountains. Strange beasts ran about, and outside the castle, on top of the walls, there were many strange-looking demon beasts, each of them exuding a powerful aura.
The castle was also built in an extremely rough manner, as if it was a giant prehistoric beast lying on the ground, emitting an ancient aura.
Even though this was Yang Kai’s first time here, he could guess that this was the place where the Hundred Spirit Continent’s master lived, so he couldn’t help feeling somewhat nervous. If he were to meet other Demon Saints, Yang Kai wouldn’t be nervous, because he knew he would be useful to them and wouldn’t suffer any harm, but this Hundred Spirit Continent’s master was different.
Who the hell knew what he was planning? If he didn’t like him and decided to kill him, who would he seek justice from?
As soon as they landed in front of the castle, before they even entered, a fierce aura rushed towards them. In the dark shadows, a giant figure gradually appeared, each step causing the earth to tremble.
A moment later, Yang Kai saw what it was.
This was a giant beast that looked like a lion. It was about five meters tall and had a golden mane on its chest that was as soft and smooth as silk. Its huge nostrils were emitting a scorching hot aura, making it look quite majestic.
The giant lion looked down at Yang Kai and the others from above, its golden eyes flashing with a sharp light.
The Horned Holy Spirit and the twin sisters cupped their fists in unison, “Sir Lion!”
Yang Kai blinked. Although he was being held by the twin sisters, his cultivation had not been sealed, so he could clearly feel how powerful this giant lion was. It was definitely a Half-Saint.
However, even though they were all Half-Saints, the One Horned Holy Spirit and the twin sisters still called him Sir, so it was obvious that either this Lion was stronger than these three, or this Holy Spirit was ranked higher.
But no matter what, this Lion was not someone he could resist.
The lion nodded slightly and spoke in the human tongue, “You’re back?”
The older sister holding Yang Kai said, “Fortunately, I didn’t disappoint.”
The lion looked at the horned Holy Spirit again and asked coldly, “Who did this?”
The Horned Holy Spirit smiled bitterly, “Yu Rumeng’s Soul Descent!”
“I’ll teach her a lesson sooner or later!” The male lion coldly snorted and glared at Yang Kai as if he wanted to put the blame on him, making Yang Kai somewhat speechless.
However, it seemed that the Hundred Spirit Continent’s resentment towards the Demon Race was quite great, especially towards the Demon Saints. In other places, the Demon Race wouldn’t dare call the Saint Venerable's name directly, let alone say something like “I’ll teach her a lesson”.
“Sir is inside, you may enter,” The lion said before stepping aside.
The two sisters nodded, one on the left and one on the right, escorted Yang Kai inside. The One Horned Holy Spirit did not follow them in, but instead turned around and left, probably looking for a place to recuperate.
After passing through a long corridor and entering a cold and dark hall, the two sisters stopped at the edge of the hall and waited quietly.
After arriving here, they had finally let go of Yang Kai, probably because they felt that even if Yang Kai had a Space Ability, it would be difficult for him to escape.
Yang Kai focused his gaze and could vaguely see a burly figure sitting cross-legged in the middle of the hall, not moving at all. However, the entire hall was filled with pitch-black Demonic Qi, like a thick layer of mist covering the ground. As this burly figure breathed, the Demonic Qi in the hall also fluctuated.
Yang Kai’s brow furrowed as he stared blankly at the black Demonic Qi beneath his feet. Unable to contain his curiosity, he lifted his foot and poked it forward.
In the next moment, the surging Demonic Qi suddenly converged towards the center and was absorbed by the burly figure.
Yang Kai’s face turned black as he realized that this Demonic Qi was the result of his Profound Technique.
“What are you doing!?” Behind him, the little sister’s shocked voice rang out, and even the big sister’s expression changed. She had never imagined that Yang Kai would be so bold as to dare disturb her Senior’s cultivation.
In the middle of the cold and dark hall, two streaks of lightning-like light flashed and arrived in front of Yang Kai in an instant.
It wasn’t until this moment that Yang Kai could clearly see that the two beams of light were actually a pair of eyes filled with divine light, seemingly capable of capturing one’s heart and soul, causing one to shiver in fear.
Yang Kai’s heart trembled slightly as he quickly lowered his head, his expression hidden by the dark hair hanging from his forehead.
“Greetings, Sir!” The twin sisters quickly bowed.
“Is he that person?” A deep voice echoed in the hall.
The older sister replied, “Sir, he is that person.”
“Good, raise your head!” The last sentence was naturally directed towards Yang Kai.
The corner of Yang Kai’s mouth twitched, but he had no choice but to raise his head, not even looking into the other party’s eyes as he cupped his fists and greeted, “Greetings, Senior!”
“This King is Chang Tian!”
Only now did Yang Kai understand the name of the Hundred Spirit Continent’s owner.
“I heard you’re proficient in the Space Laws and can repair World Gates?” Chang Tian asked.
“Yes,” Yang Kai nodded honestly, mainly because denying this was meaningless.
Chang Tian smiled lightly, “It’s said that the mysteries of Space Divine Abilities are complicated and it's hard to see it. Why don’t you show it to this King?”
Yang Kai frowned and looked up at him, staring straight into his eyes as he said in a slightly displeased tone, “Sir must be joking. Space Abilities aren’t just for show. If Sir really wants to understand them, you can watch from the side when I repair the World Gate.”
It wasn’t until this moment that Yang Kai began to carefully size up this Hundred Spirit Continent’s master. Although Yang Kai knew he was tall and sturdy, he had thought he was a burly man. Who would have thought that with just a single glance, Yang Kai would be able to see the other party’s delicate features, just that he was a bit taller. His black hair hung loosely on his shoulders.
