As a Half-Saint of the Blood Demon Race, Yue Sang was most proficient in the various Secret Arts of the Blood Race, but he didn’t dare use them now, because no matter what Secret Technique he used, the Embodiment was able to use the Heaven Devourer Battle Law to neutralize it, causing his situation to worsen.
Damn it, this was clearly a foolproof ambush, how could it have turned out like this?
He had always wanted to escape, but the bell-shaped artifact that had trapped him had an unimaginable suppressive force, and with the Embodiment holding him back, it was impossible for him to do so. For a mere mid-rank Demon King to be able to trap him for so long was simply a disgrace.
At this moment, Yue Sang suddenly felt a flaw in the aura that had been suppressing his surroundings. This discovery made him overjoyed. Although he didn’t know why Yang Kai had made such a fatal mistake, Yue Sang estimated that he had reached his limit. After all, with his opponent’s cultivation, it was already rare for him to be able to persist for so long.
Without the slightest hesitation, Yue Sang spat out a mouthful of blood mist, not hesitating to use his own Blood Essence to block the Embodiment's attack for a moment before transforming into a streak of blood light and rushing towards the opening.
The Embodiment couldn’t stop him in time and could only watch helplessly as he rushed out of the range of the Mountain River Bell’s suppression.
At the same time, Yang Kai turned his head towards a certain direction.
In that instant just now, he suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of fear, as if something extremely terrifying had happened. It was precisely because of this sense of fear that he had been able to control the Mountain River Bell for a moment, allowing Yue Sang to escape.
Instinctively, Yang Kai felt that something had happened to Ming Yue, because he could no longer sense his aura in this world!
Although he had been competing with Yue Sang inside this Blood Light Array, he was still able to sense the aura of a Great Emperor, but in that instant, the aura of Ming Yue had completely disappeared from this world.
Yue Sang’s escape caused him to quickly regain his senses, but at this moment, it was useless. In an instant, Yang Kai’s anger reached its peak.
The counterattack he had imagined had not arrived, and Yue Sang, who had escaped, had also disappeared into the sea of blood. It was unknown whether he had escaped or was hiding somewhere.
The sea of blood roiled and shrank in a certain direction.
At the same time, Yue Sang was using the cover of the sea of blood to flee into the distance, gritting his teeth and cursing bitterly. He was a dignified Blood Demon Half-Saint, and he had ambushed Yang Kai, but in the end, he had fallen to such a state. The hatred in his heart couldn’t be any greater, and because he was afraid of the strength of his Embodiment, he didn’t dare do anything to Yang Kai. He only wanted to escape as far as possible so that he wouldn’t be trapped by Yang Kai’s Mountain River Bell again. If he did that again, his life would be lost.
With the protection of the Blood Light Array, he was confident he could escape. As for his grudge with Yang Kai, he could only think about it later.
A bright ray of light suddenly tore through the endless sea of blood as a Moonlight Sword slashed towards him.
Yue Sang, who was already seriously injured, had his expression completely frozen.
…
Above the sea of blood, Yang Kai put away the Mountain River Bell, but before he could catch his breath, he suddenly heard the Embodiment shout, “Be careful!”
At the same time, a chill ran down Yang Kai’s spine as his eyes bulged. Turning his head, he saw Yue Sang pouncing towards him with a murderous look.
Without any hesitation, Yang Kai took a deep breath and punched out, causing the void around him to shatter.
Contrary to Yang Kai’s expectations, when Yang Kai threw this punch, Yue Sang, who had rushed in front of him, didn’t even try to resist. Instead, he opened his arms and welcomed him, a relieved smile appearing on his face. The killing intent that had almost solidified suddenly disappeared.
Yang Kai’s heart suddenly shrank as he instinctively felt that something was wrong, but it was already too late to stop.
With a cracking sound, the fist that was sent out directly penetrated Yue Sang’s chest, causing a hole to appear in his chest. The force of the fist thoroughly corroded his flesh, blood, and meridians.
Yang Kai’s expression was blank, not showing the slightest excitement of killing a great enemy, but instead a kind of indescribable pain, as if an invisible hand was gripping his heart, as if his body was being crushed.
He seemed to have done something wrong…
As their eyes met, Yue Sang’s expression became gentle as he gently said, “I’ll leave everything to you.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Yue Sang’s appearance distorted and transformed into Ming Yue, covered in wounds and blood…
“Senior!” Yang Kai grit his teeth and shouted, “How… how…”
The scene in front of him was completely unacceptable. The Bright Moon Great Emperor’s life had actually been personally ended by him! His mind was in a state of chaos and he could barely think straight.
That punch had shattered all of Ming Yue’s vitality, so there was no way he could survive.
The one he wanted to kill was clearly Yue Sang, but he had ended his life.
If a Great Emperor wanted to deceive his senses and mislead him into thinking he had seen Yue Sang, it shouldn’t be difficult to do so. This was a killing intent that could almost be faked, and also the key to forcing Yang Kai to act decisively.
“This is what I hope to see. The entire Star Boundary will thank you!” Ming Yue obviously understood Yang Kai’s current mood, so he raised his hand and grabbed his wrist. Looking straight at him, he said sincerely, “So don’t feel guilty.”
At this moment, Yang Kai couldn’t hear what Ming Yue was saying, and when he saw his appearance, his mind was in chaos.
An indescribable power overflowed from Ming Yue’s body and flowed through his arm into Yang Kai’s body, attacking his mind and organs, finally bringing Yang Kai back to his senses.
The muscles on his face twitched uncontrollably as he tried to pull his hand away from Ming Yue’s chest, but he was held back by him, unable to move.
“The World Will of the Star Boundary cannot be snatched away by the Demon Race!” Ming Yue grit his teeth and shouted, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, drenching his clothes and dripping onto Yang Kai’s arm like hot iron, “Only you can bring this will back. This is also why Tian Shu sent you to the Demon Territory!”
Yang Kai’s expression froze as he once again recalled what Tian Shu Great Emperor had said.
'In the Demon Territory, you will have a fortuitous encounter and a calamity…'
He hadn’t known where this opportunity and calamity came from until now.
The will of a Great World from a Great Emperor, what could be more valuable than this opportunity? Had Tian Shu already anticipated this? If so, the reason he had sent him to the Demon Territory was not to rescue the Bright Moon Great Emperor, but to receive the will of the Great World from Ming Yue…
However, if this opportunity came at the cost of the life of a Great Emperor, then Yang Kai would rather not accept it!
In the blink of an eye, the mysterious power had filled Yang Kai’s entire body. This power couldn’t immediately make him stronger, but it gave him an inexplicable feeling, making his senses much sharper than before.
Yang Kai knew that this was the will of the Star Boundary.
“This King… has let you down!” Ming Yue squeezed out a smile towards Yang Kai, “It’s just that this King has no other choice, please don’t hate me in the future.”
Although this opportunity was fought over by more than a hundred Demon Race Half Saints, it was still a huge burden for a human. After all, personally killing a Great Emperor was an undeniable fact.
This was also the first Great Emperor to die at the hands of an Emperor Realm master since ancient times. Rather than saying that he was killed by Yang Kai, it would be more accurate to say that Ming Yue had fallen at his hands.
“You should go!” Ming Yue’s expression suddenly became serious.
Yue Sang had been killed by him, and the Blood Light Array had collapsed on its own. At this moment, as the blood sea collapsed, the Half-Saint figures who had been chasing after him appeared in all directions.
Looking at Yang Kai and Ming Yue’s current situation, most of the Half-Saint masters were stunned for a moment before turning angry.
They had paid such a great price, even losing dozens of Half-Saint masters to Ming Yue just now. It wasn’t easy for them to force this Star Boundary’s Great Emperor into a desperate situation, just waiting to pick a fruit, but who would have thought that in the end, they would actually let a human brat take advantage of them? How could they tolerate this?
The Demon Saints had said that no matter who killed Ming Yue, they would be able to snatch the World Will from him. As long as they could withstand it, there was a high chance they could become the Demon Territory’s 13th Demon Saint in the future.
This was the lifelong pursuit of all Half-Saints. The capacity of the World Bottle was limited, and the opportunity to reach the pinnacle was just around the corner, so even if they had to bet their lives on it, they would not hesitate.
However, after a moment of anger, the Half-Saints all sneered.
Was it really a fortuitous encounter for a mere Mid-Rank Demon King to obtain such an opportunity? Without a powerful strength to protect himself, this opportunity would become a disaster.
Compared to killing a Great Emperor on the verge of death, they were more willing to face a Mid-Rank Demon King.
Numerous Divine Senses instantly locked onto Yang Kai, and the nearly one hundred Half-Saints suddenly fell silent. None of them took the initiative to attack, instead glancing around vigilantly.
Yang Kai wasn’t worthy of their attention, the other Half-Saints were the true obstacles to reaching the peak.
In the middle of the field, Yang Kai’s expression was extremely solemn. After glancing around, he turned his head and found that Ming Yue had hiseyes, his vitality completely scattered.
Yang Kai’s expression froze slightly, his heart aching.
Before he could say goodbye to Ming Yue and apologize, this Great Emperor had already fallen.
Taking a deep breath, Yang Kai forcibly restrained his chaotic state of mind and slowly pulled his hand from Ming Yue’s chest in front of everyone’s eyes before carefully storing Ming Yue’s corpse in the Mysterious Small World and placing it beside the medicine garden.
Feeling a deep sense of sadness, Yang Kai let out a long sigh.
The roar gradually became louder, transforming into a rolling dragon roar that resounded throughout the world.
With a loud cry, as if he had been summoned, Wind Chaser's agile figure rushed over from the distance and arrived in front of Yang Kai in the blink of an eye. Raising his front hooves, he almost stood up, and when he landed again, Yang Kai had already climbed onto his back and gently patted its mane, whispering, “Run!”
