Although it had shrunk in size, it did not mean that its strength had weakened, instead, it was a symbol of condensation. The original Holy Spirit characteristics had also changed, and the stone spikes growing on its body had also disappeared. The stone lumps were like bulging muscles, filled with explosive power, and the Evil Fire was faintly visible through the cracks on its body, the Demonic Qi surrounding it soaring to the sky.
Perhaps it was because it had just broken through, but Yang Kai could clearly feel the aura of a Half-Saint from its body. This was a kind of power that surpassed the Demon King and Emperor Realm. Without comparing, Yang Kai wasn’t sure if there was any difference between the Embodiment and a veteran Half-Saint.
Using his Divine Sense, Yang Kai summoned his Embodiment back to the Mysterious Small World and allowed it to consolidate its cultivation before returning to meet up with Yin and the others.
Yang Kai wasn’t in a hurry to travel. Riding on Wind Chaser, he led a group of Demon Race cultivators towards Cloud Shadow City. It was almost time for the one-year deadline he had agreed to meet with Bright Moon. Now that his Embodiment had settled down, it was time to go to Phantom Continent and find Yu Rumeng.
If anything were to happen to Bright Moon, Yu Rumeng would definitely be the first to know, and if he stayed by her side, he would be able to learn about the movements of the Eternal Heaven Continent at any time, allowing him to make plans quickly.
Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly saw a Demon Race cultivator rushing over from the distance with a hurried look on his face. When he saw Yang Kai, who was leading the group, he was stunned for a moment before cupping his fists and greeting, “Greetings, Great King, Greetings, Sirs.”
Yang Kai nodded slightly and looked down at him, “What is it?”
The Demon Race was only a Demon Chief Commander and seemed to have flown over from Cloud Shadow City, so he cupped his fists and replied, “Reporting to Great King, according to our scouts, the Demon Territory’s various continents are urgently mobilizing their forces. All the Great Half-Saints have also been dispatched, it seems like there is a storm brewing, but I don’t know why.”
Last time, in order to search for Bright Moon's whereabouts, Yang Kai had sent a large number of people from Cloud Shadow and Blue Plains to the various continents of the Demon Territory to inquire about his whereabouts. Although Bright Moon was found later, these spies have not been retracted and instead constantly sent messages back to Cloud Shadow City.
Recently, he had discovered something unusual about the other continents, as if something big was about to happen, so naturally he immediately reported it.
Hearing this, Lao Ke frowned and asked, “Did something happen in the Two Worlds Battlefield?” The various continents were all deploying their forces, and most of the Saints were also deploying their forces. This was obviously an important matter, and aside from the unforeseen event in the Two World Battlefield, there should be no other reason for the Demon Territory to make such a big move.
The Demon Chief Commander shook his head, “This subordinate doesn’t know, but…”
“But what?”
“However, the Half Saints goal seems to be the Eternal Heaven Continent, not the Two World Battlefield.”
“Eternal Heaven Continent!” Yang Kai’s expression changed as he lowered his body slightly and stared at the Demon Chief Commander in front of him, “Are you sure it’s the Eternal Heaven Continent?”
The Demon Chief Commander feel weak from his gaze, so he swallowed his saliva and said, “This is how the scouts reported back. It is said that a million strong army from several continents has been stationed outside the World Gate of the Eternal Heaven Continent.”
There was no doubt that something had happened to the Eternal Heaven Continent, so the first person Yang Kai thought of was Bright Moon.
He really could do whatever he wanted. Just now, he had planned to go to Phantom Continent to find Yu Rumeng.
Bright Moon was seriously injured and had been trapped in the Eternal Heaven Continent. Not only was there a grand formation there, but there was also a Demon Saint personally guarding it. The Demon Race didn’t hesitate to sacrifice all the living beings in the Eternal Heaven Continent to activate the power of the grand formation in order to keep Bright Moon in the Demon Territory forever. However, no one had expected that hee would sneak in and even leave behind three Eternal Tree leaves for Bright Moon. With the help of the Eternal Tree’s leaves, Bright Moon would be able to restore himself to normal within a year.
Although he was still alone, at the very least, Bright Moons was no longer a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. A Great Emperor at his peak and a Great Emperor who had been seriously injured were two different existences.
In this regard, the Demon Saints had miscalculated and would likely have to pay a great price.
The deployment of troops from the various continents and Half Saints was the best sign!
This signified that a battle had broken out on the Eternal Heaven Continent’s side, and the Demon Saints had probably discovered that the situation was different from what they had expected. Otherwise, why would they need to mobilize their forces to help?
If it really depends on Bright Moon previous state, he would only become weaker. Just relying on Xue Li and the power of the Great Array was enough to consign him to eternal damnation.
'A year from now, pay attention to this news. If anything unexpected happens, remember to rush over. This King still has some things to discuss with you.'
As Bright Moon's words echoed in his ears, Yang Kai clamped his legs together and flew towards the nearest World Gate.
“Great King, where are you going?” Lao Ke exclaimed.
Yang Kai turned a deaf ear to this and disappeared along with Wind Chaser, leaving only Yin and Lao Ke staring at each other, wondering what kind of madness Yang Kai was up to.
However, before they could figure out what was going on, Yang Kai, who had already disappeared into the distance, suddenly returned with a solemn and somewhat terrifying look on his face. Immediately following this, he issued an order, “Quickly gather all of Cloud Shadow and Blue Plain's forces and follow me to battle the Eternal Heaven Continent!”
It would be too conspicuous for him to travel all the way to the Eternal Heaven Continent by himself, so if he brought some people with him, even if someone asked about it, he would have an excuse to explain.
In any case, everyone was gathering towards the Eternal Heaven Continent, so Cloud Shadow was simply following the flow.
“We’re also going to the Eternal Heaven Continent?” Lao Ke asked curiously.
Yin looked up at Yang Kai and asked, “Great King, what happened in Eternal Heaven Continent?” Why did he become so anxious when he heard this strange news?
Yang Kai waved his hand impatiently, “Why are you asking so many questions? Hurry up and gather your people!”
Ke Sen hesitated, “But Great King, we didn’t receive any orders to…”
“Is this King’s words not an order?” Yang Kai looked at him coldly, causing Ke Sen to swallow the rest of his words.
A moment later, many of the demons scattered and spread out their orders. Although Yang Kai was anxious and couldn’t wait to fly to the Eternal Heaven Continent to see how Bright Moon was doing, he could only wait patiently.
The battle between Great Emperors and Demon Saints was not something that could be decided in a short period of time. Even if he went there early, it would be useless. With his current strength, it was impossible for him to intervene in a battle of this level. If Bright Moon wanted to escape, he would have to rely on himself.
Moreover, he didn’t know how Bright Moon would contact him. Under the watchful eyes of so many Demon Saints, not even the slightest movement could escape their eyes.
In a short period of time, the two main continents of the Cloud Shadow and Blue Plains were in an upheaval. Many Demon Race cultivators were mobilized to the designated World Gate to meet up.
Three days later, Cloud Shadow's army of a million would gather, and this was only because there wasn’t enough time. If there was enough time, it would be more than enough to gather a few times more people. After all, the population of a continent was quite large.
The million strong army passed through the World Gate in a grandiose manner, forming a long line that stretched as far as the eye could see, stepping into Blue Plains territory. When they arrived at another World Gate, Tu Qialuo, Ba Zha, and the others had already summoned their million strong army to wait quietly.
As soon as the two sides met up, Yang Kai’s army numbered more than two million. Back when he was defending Tiger Roar City, Yang Kai only had a few hundred thousand subordinates, so there was a huge gap between them. With so many people, the army became somewhat disorganized. Fortunately, many Demon Kings were obedient, so it wasn’t too difficult to manage them.
Naturally, the speed of the army’s advance could not be compared to a single man. Yang Kai estimated that it would take at least half a month for him to arrive at the Eternal Heaven Continent with these two million people.
I hope nothing happens to Bright Moon!
Passing through one World Gate after another, the army continued to approach the Eternal Heaven Continent, and Yang Kai’s mood became more stable as the days passed, no longer as anxious and uneasy as before.
He had already made up his mind that when the time came for him to reveal his true intentions, he would make use of Wind Chaser's speed to escape with Bright Moon. As for whether he could escape or not, that would be up to fate. Moreover, he wasn’t sure if Wind Chaser would cooperate with him. Although this fellow was very close to him, it also had its own intelligence and might not be willing to leave the Demon Territory with him.
…
On the Eternal Heaven Continent, the sea of blood churned and the twelve blood-red pillars were like nails that had been nailed to the ground by a god, turning the entire place into an impenetrable cage.
Outside the Blood Sea Prison, many Blood Demon's Demon Qi surged as they activated the power of the Blood Sea. Countless other Demons were stationed outside the Blood Sea Prison, ready to defend at any moment. Among them, there were more than a dozen Half-Saints.
However, the situation here was somewhat different from what Yang Kai had seen the last time he was here. The biggest difference was that the Demon Race that had been pouring into the sea of blood had all disappeared. All the living beings in the Eternal Heaven Continent had been sacrificed, and the power of the sea of blood had been pushed to its limit, causing the entire sea of blood to boil, constantly releasing huge bubbles. Inside the sea of blood, countless vengeful spirits swam about, letting out a series of ghastly wails and howls that could shake one’s soul.
A powerful force suddenly surged out from the sea of blood as an invisible shockwave spread out.
At the same time, a series of muffled explosions rang out as the Blood Demons surrounding the Blood Sea exploded into a bloody mist without a single trace of their remains remaining.
Seeing this, the Demon Race masters who had sealed off the surrounding area all showed looks of fear.
The missing spots were quickly filled up by the other Blood Demons and continued to maintain the power of the Blood Sea, but this method would not last long. The Blood Demons who were able to participate in this matter were at least Demon Chief Commander. In the entire Demon Territory, although the Blood Demon Clan was a great clan with a large population, they were still unable to withstand such consumption. If this continued, the fall of the high end Blood Demons might even weaken the entire clan.
Ten breaths later, another surge of energy surged from the depths of the Blood Sea, but this time it was not an invisible shockwave, but a dazzling white light.
Wherever the white light passed, the sea of blood was blown out of several vacuum channels. Along the way, the blood evaporated and the Demon Race who were hit by the white light died on the spot.
On the blood red pillar, Xue Li’s expression was cold and gloomy, his long blood red hair fluttering in the wind, his scarlet eyes almost bursting with anger as he grit his teeth and shouted, “Bright Moon, you’re courting death!”
