If he wanted to return to the Star Boundary, the Demon Saints must have expected this, but there was only one passageway between the two worlds, so they only needed to set up a barrier there to completely block his path.
Yang Kai estimated that there were already Demon Saint heading towards the Two Worlds Passage. Although the speed of the Wind Chaser was fast, it was not faster than a Demon Saint.
Since he couldn’t go to the Two World Passageway, there were only two places he could go.
One of them was the Hundred Spirit Continent! If he rushed into the Hundred Spirit Continent to seek protection from Chang Tian, perhaps he would be able to survive, but Yang Kai didn’t know if Chang Tian would be able to withstand the pressure from so many Demon Saints. It was true that Chang Tian valued him greatly, and because he didn’t have much time left, he was willing to take Yang Kai as his successor. However, if more than a dozen Demon Saints joined forces to pressure him, Chang Tian wouldn’t necessarily completely fall out with them, causing the Hundred Spirit Continent to suffer a great loss.
For so many years, the reason why the Hundred Spirit Continent had been peaceful was firstly because Chang Tian was not someone to be trifled with, possessing enough strength to make the Demon Saints pay attention to him, and secondly, because every Demon Saint was unwilling to push Chang Tian into the arms of others, so the Hundred Spirit Continent was able to survive in the cracks.
But now that this thirteenth Demon Saint’s qualification was related to the interests of the entire Demon Territory, many Demon Saints should be able to reach an agreement on this issue.
What’s more, it wasn’t wise to entrust his safety to someone else. He hadn’t been in contact with Chang Tian for long, so he didn’t really understand this person.
As such, this thought was quickly rejected by Yang Kai.
The second place was Yu Rumeng’s territory.
Although Bei Limo and Ming Yue’s previous words had caused him to develop a bit of a grudge and vigilance towards Yu Rumeng, it was obvious that Yu Rumeng had protected him greatly back in the Eternal Heaven Continent, so it shouldn’t be a problem for him to visit her place.
The problem was whether Yu Rumeng could protect him.
After thinking about it for a while, Yang Kai decided not to go to Hundred Spirit Continent or Yu Rumeng’s territory, instead choosing to hide in a continent that had already disappeared. There were many missing continents in the Demon Territory, so all he needed to do was find a place to hide and he would be able to escape everyone’s detection. Right now, the situation was quite tense, so he only needed to hide for three to five years. After the rumors died down, he could return to the Star Boundary and find a way to return.
Making up his mind, Yang Kai quickly checked the map in his hand while recalling the various Demon Territory continents he had seen before.
A moment later, Yang Kai confirmed his location and found the nearest missing continent. It wasn’t too far away and he only needed to pass through two World Gates to reach it.
Just as he put away the map, Yang Kai’s expression suddenly became cold and he quickly stopped Wind Chaser, who was flying forward.
With a loud whoosh, Wind Chaser stopped in mid-air and let out a snort, his blood boiling.
On the other hand, Yang Kai’s expression was extremely solemn as he turned his head around and asked, “Which Saint is here? Since you’ve come, why are you acting so sneakily?”
After saying this, he remained silent for a moment without any response.
Yang Kai sneered, “The Great Emperor’s opportunity lies with this Young Master. If the Saint wants to take it away, just do it. Could it be you’re afraid of this Young Master?”
Still no response.
Yang Kai couldn’t help frowning as he wondered if he had sensed wrongly. It didn’t make sense, he had clearly felt someone was secretly watching him just now, and that feeling was extremely obvious. With his current cultivation and perception, it was impossible for him to be mistaken.
The person who was able to conceal himself from his detection was definitely not an ordinary person, it was highly likely he was a Demon Saint.
Since he was a Demon Saint, why didn’t he show himself? He was no match for a Demon Saint now.
Listening to Yang Kai muttering to himself, Wind Chaser couldn’t help glancing back at him, his eyes filled with suspicion, as if asking if he was stupid. There was no one nearby, so who could he ask?
At the same time, Yang Kai suddenly discovered that the feeling of being spied upon had disappeared without a trace, causing him to become somewhat confused. What was going on? Could it be that he had really sensed wrong?
However, regardless of which Demon Saint was secretly spying on him, since the other party hadn’t shown up, it meant that this person had no intention of taking action. This really made no sense.
Ignoring all of this, Yang Kai once again commanded Wind Chaser to fly towards the place he had planned to go, and at the same time, he stuffed a handful of pills into his mouth and swallowed them.
After passing through two World Gates, just as they were about to reach their destination, Yang Kai’s face couldn’t help darkening.
It was not a bad thing, but a good thing.
He could feel his Internal Qi fluctuating as the bottleneck he had been stuck at for many years began to loosen. At this moment, he was actually showing signs of breaking through.
Yang Kai didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
For such a long time, Yang Kai had been worrying about his Second-Order Emperor Realm cultivation, especially after the war between the two Worlds broke out. After entering the Demon Territory, Yang Kai had always felt that his strength was insufficient. Every time he faced a Half-Saint, he would feel helpless, constantly thinking about when he would be able to break through again, but his cultivation never showed any signs of progress.
It actually happened at this moment!
This was truly an eventful period of time. Right now, he should be concealing himself, but who would have thought that he would suddenly show signs of breaking through?
Thinking about it, it wasn’t strange. After accepting the Great Emperor’s opportunity, although the World Will of the Star Boundary didn’t significantly increase his strength, the hidden benefits were slowly erupting, so the loosening of his cultivation bottleneck should be related to this.
If he had a choice, Yang Kai would definitely not choose to break through at this time.
However, when he tried to suppress it, the fluctuating Internal Qi was like a spring. The more he tried to suppress it, the stronger the rebound became. It was as if it wanted to break through the barrier and soar into the sky, making Yang Kai speechless.
Since the destination had been set, it was impossible not to go. Although the missing continents were extremely safe, the World Laws inside them were extremely shattered, making it impossible to break through.
The Mysterious Small World was an excellent place to go. Now that the World Laws of the Mysterious Small World were complete and the World Energy was rich, it was enough for Yang Kai to break through. Moreover, if he broke through there, no one would be able to detect him, no matter how big the commotion was.
However, when this idea popped up in his mind, Yang Kai felt that something was wrong, as if, if he really broke through in the Mysterious Small World, he would miss out on something important, something he would regret for the rest of his life!
Without any hesitation, Yang Kai immediately commanded Wind Chaser to change directions and fly towards the Cloud Shadow Continent.
The reason he hadn’t chosen to break through in the Mysterious Small World was firstly because of the hesitation in his heart, and secondly because it wasn’t entirely safe. If he entered the Mysterious Small World, the Mysterious Boundary Bead would definitely be exposed. No matter how well he hid it, with the Demon Saints of the Demon Realm searching all around, it was difficult to guarantee that the Mysterious Boundary Bead wouldn’t be discovered. The Demon Saints Divine Senses were so powerful that it would make one’s hair stand on end. After carefully searching, it wasn’t necessarily impossible to find an unusual bead.
Once the Demon Saint found the Mysterious Boundary Bead, he would really become a sitting duck.
His Embodiment was the master of the Cloud Shadow Continent, so if he chose to break through there, it would bring him a great deal of convenience. At the very least, it would be able to conceal his breakthrough as much as possible. Moreover, the Cloud Shadow Continent was located in Yu Rumeng’s territory, so if anything went wrong, Yu Rumeng would definitely be able to rush over immediately.
Since he had already made up his mind, Yang Kai didn’t think too much about it. Riding on Wind Chaser's back, he closed his eyes and began meditating.
With his breakthrough imminent, he had to maintain his peak condition. Otherwise, if he failed to break through, his cultivation path would be cut off, he could not afford to be careless.
The injuries on his body weren’t caused by anyone, but rather by the backlash from the Mountain River Bell when he had joined forces with his Embodiment to deal with Yue Sang.
Under the effects of the Spirit Pill, Yang Kai’s injuries were rapidly recovering. With his powerful physique, Yang Kai felt that he should be able to recover by the time he arrived at the Cloud Shadow Continent.
Passing through one World Gate after another, half a day later, when Yang Kai was about to reach a World Gate, trouble arrived.
From a distance, Yang Kai could see that there were many Demon Race blockades in front of the World Gate, and many people were being interrogated. Yang Kai saw a Demon Race pass by with their Space Rings seized.
This caused Yang Kai’s face to darken, and he knew that this was probably because of him. The reason he hadn’t encountered them before was probably because the news hadn’t spread yet, and now the entire Demon Territory was probably under strict guard.
Slightly sensing his surroundings, Yang Kai felt fortunate that there were no Half-Saint masters guarding this place. Although there were a few Demon Kings, if he really wanted to kill them, those Demon Kings were no match for him.
Yang Kai didn’t want to expose his whereabouts, but changing his course was meaningless.
After pondering for a moment, Yang Kai put Wind Chaser into the Mysterious Boundary Bead and flew out alone.
After wandering around for a while, he soon found a lone Demon Race cultivator. This Demon Race cultivator’s strength wasn’t low and was at least a Low-Rank Demon King. Seeing Yang Kai blocking his way, he sneered.
The only response he received was a series of attacks from Yang Kai. With just a few punches and kicks, this low-grade Demon King was beaten to the ground.
Yang Kai didn’t waste any time and directly reached out to grab his head, releasing his Divine Sense like a tidal wave, tearing apart this Low-Rank Demon King’s Divine Sense and branding it in his mind.
By the time he released his grip, the Low-Rank Demon King had yet to react.
However, Yang Kai’s Divine Sense caused his expression to change greatly as he stared at Yang Kai with a look of humiliation, “Who are you? What do you want?”
Having his Knowledge Sea branded by someone Divine Soul for no reason and having his life and death under someone’s control was somewhat unacceptable to anyone, but he was no fool, so he understood that Yang Kai must have some kind of motive for doing so.
Yang Kai took out the Mysterious Boundary Bead with a flip of his hand and said lightly, “Swallow this bead later and then go through the World Gate.”
Hearing this, the Demon King frowned, “What do you mean?”
“Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask, otherwise, your life will be in danger!” Yang Kai coldly snorted and tossed the Mysterious Boundary Bead over.
