Yang Kai slowly shook his head and slowly pulled his arm out from Ming Yue’s chest, but because Ming Yue had stopped him, his movements were extremely slow, “I don’t think I’m a sinner of the Star Boundary, Sir’s words are wrong.”
Ming Yue sneered, “If you’re not a sinner, are you a hero?”
“I can’t say I’ve done any meritorious service, after all, I killed you. However, at least I managed to preserve the Star Boundary’s will and not let it be taken away by the Demon Race. Sir died in my hands, so even if I feel guilty, there was nothing I could do.”
“Bullshit!” Ming Yue shouted fiercely, “You possess the Space Ability, so you had the ability to take this King away long ago, but because of your own safety, you were unwilling to put yourself in danger, causing this King to fall into the Demon Territory. You are a sinner of the Star Boundary!”
“Sir must be joking,” Yang Kai’s expression was indifferent, “Although I possess a Space Ability, my strength is still low. With a Demon Saint in charge, how can I take you away?”
“Giving up so easily without even trying, you just want to live alone,” Ming Yue’s accusations became more harsh, directly pointing towards Yang Kai’s weakest point.
Yang Kai’s heart couldn’t help trembling, his calm mind nearly falling into chaos.
When he saw Ming Yue fall that day, he had also asked himself why he hadn’t saved Ming Yue earlier. If he had done so earlier, he might have had a chance, and he wouldn’t have had such regret for the rest of his life.
Seeing Yang Kai close his eyes in pain, Ming Yue sneered, “What else do you have to say?”
Yang Kai slowly opened his eyes, “I have nothing to say.”
Ming Yue smiled lightly as his figure floated towards him, “Since that’s the case, there’s no need for you to struggle in pain. It’s better for you to follow your heart and indulge in freedom.”
“If what Sir said about freedom is about falling into the Demon Path, I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint Sir,” Yang Kai looked at him indifferently and sighed lightly, “Sir, this little brat’s pain is because the Star Boundary lost a Great Emperor, not because I couldn’t save you. This little brat’s strength is too low, I really don’t have the ability to save you…”
As he spoke, he finally withdrew his hand from Ming Yue’s chest and punched forward.
“My apologies, Sir!”
When the Fist reached, Ming Yue collapsed.
After making up for failure to apologize to Ming Yue before he died, Yang Kai’s mood relaxed and the regret in his heart was made up.
These past few days, he had carefully considered whether he would have a chance to rescue Ming Yue when he first met him.
However, no matter how he thought about it, he couldn’t find any opportunity.
The reason he was able to safely enter and exit the Blood Sea was all thanks to Ming Yue, and without Ming Yue’s interference, Xue Li, who was overseeing the Blood Sea, would definitely be able to find him immediately. Therefore, once he really put Ming Yue into the Mysterious Boundary Bead, he would definitely be met with the wrath of a Demon Saint. At that time, not only would Ming Yue’s situation become worse, even Yang Kai would suffer.
The Space Spirit Bead was a good method to leave it behind at the World Gate.
But what use was that?
Whether it was the Twelve Great Demon Array or the endless sea of blood formed by the blood sacrifice of the entire Eternal Heaven Continent, both of them had the power to seal off the world, making it impossible for him to use the Space Spirit Bead to teleport.
It had to be known that the Embodiment had only been able to use the Space Spirit Bead to teleport to Yang Kai’s side after Yue Sang had placed it into his Blood Sea. If Yue Sang hadn’t been too careless and released his Embodiment and Wind Chaser, Yang Kai wouldn’t have been able to deal with him. [Hoogsway: there is a time Ming Yue was out of the sea of blood and formation tho.]
Therefore, even though Yang Kai felt guilty about Ming Yue’s death, it was not to the point where he could let his inner demons corrode him.
Ming Yue’s body transformed into a ray of light and dissipated, but soon condensed into another figure. This figure was curvy and had a charming yet holy look.
It was Yu Rumeng.
Yang Kai stared at her with a complicated expression, wondering how Yu Rumeng had become his inner demon. Could it be because he had been constantly on guard against her?
“Yang Kai, the Star Boundary’s will is extremely important to the Demon Territory, hand it over…”
Before she could finish speaking, Yang Kai had already sent out a punch.
Even Ming Yue’s illusion couldn’t shake Yang Kai’s state of mind, let alone Yu Rumeng. If the effect of the Heart Seal Secret Technique hadn’t been diverted, Yang Kai might have been distressed, but now, Yang Kai didn’t feel anything.
Forget about a mere heart demon, even in the real world, if Yu Rumeng really dared to say such words to him, he would also punch her!
Yu Rumeng’s illusion was shattered just like before.
Yang Kai’s whole body felt extremely relaxed, thinking that he had succeeded, but he didn’t expect the shattered illusion to condense again.
Yang Kai was stunned for a moment before staring over with a curious look on his face. Whose illusions would it be this time? Did he have so many inner demons? Along the way, he didn’t have many regrets or dissatisfaction. Ming Yue and Yu Rumeng’s appearance made sense, so who was this third guy?
But soon, Yang Kai’s expression became serious as he stared forward in shock.
The condensed illusion was not the person he had imagined it to be, it could even be said that it was not a person at all. Instead, it was a distorted, humanoid shadow that looked like a Shadow Demon.
Could it be that it was the Night Shadow Great Emperor? Yang Kai’s face darkened. This didn’t make any sense. Although the Night Shadow Great Emperor had betrayed the Star Boundary and given Ming Yue a fatal blow, he had never had much contact with him, so how could he have transformed into a heart demon to interfere with his breakthrough?
Just as Yang Kai was puzzled, the black shadow in front of him suddenly let out a sharp cry, causing Yang Kai’s Soul to tremble. The black shadow in front of him transformed into a black light and shot towards him.
Caught off guard, Yang Kai was struck by this blow, and soon after, his Knowledge Sea felt as if it was being torn apart, causing him intense pain.
Yang Kai could clearly feel that there was something else in his Knowledge Sea, so he didn’t dare to neglect it and immediately immersed himself into his Knowledge Sea, forming his Soul Avatar.
Looking up, he saw that above the rolling sea, the black figure was floating in the air, staring at the Seven Colored Treasure Island in the middle of the sea!
“Soul… Warming… Lotus!” A faint and hoarse voice came from the black figure’s mouth, as if it was a rusty iron tool rubbing against each other, but also as if a person who had not spoken for a long time had suddenly spoken. Although these three words were spoken with great difficulty, one could clearly feel the excitement.
Yang Kai’s expression changed drastically as he stared at the black shadow.
This was not his inner demon!
The so-called Inner Demon was just an illusory thing, a flaw in one’s heart and a hindrance to a cultivator’s breakthrough. It was impossible for one to possess their own thoughts, much less speak like this.
The one in front of him was obviously some kind of strange creature. Yang Kai didn’t even know how it got close to him, and the Demon Heart he had just experienced was probably its doing!
At this moment, Yang Kai remembered the two times he had felt like he was being spied on while he was escaping to the Cloud Shadow Continent.
Could it be that the one spying on him was this guy?
Why hadn’t his Embodiment noticed anything? Wasn’t it guarding him nearby? How could it allow someone to invade his Knowledge Sea without any reaction?
“Who are you?” Yang Kai asked solemnly.
“Soul… Warming… Lotus!” The black figure ignored him, instead focusing on the World Treasure, the Soul Warming Lotus, repeating the same words.
To be honest, Yang Kai was a bit surprised that this guy could see the Seven Colored Treasure Island’s true form at a glance. This was not the first time his Knowledge Sea had been invaded, but because of his previous experience, Yang Kai had allowed the Soul Warming Lotus to transform into a small island in order to prevent others from noticing anything.
Who would have thought that this black shadow would be able to see through its mysteries as soon as he entered? His eyesight was quite sharp.
“I’ll ask you one more time, who exactly are you!” Yang Kai’s face sank as he shouted. He had already made up his mind not to let this guy leave. If the secrets of the Soul Warming Lotus were to be exposed, the Demon Saints would definitely spare no effort in pursuing him.
The rise and fall of his state of mind caused the seawater below him to churn and surge.
The black shadow still didn’t respond, but instead transformed into a streak of black light and rushed straight towards the Soul Warming Lotus, as if it was extremely attractive to him and was determined to win it.
“Slash!” Yang Kai waved his hand and sent out a blade light.
The Soul Slaying Blade was an Emperor Level Soul Artifact that had always been nourished in Yang Kai’s Knowledge Sea. In this strange place, the Soul Slaying Blader’s power was undoubtedly the greatest.
The blade light was as fast as lightning, directly cutting the black shadow in half.
However, before Yang Kai could rejoice, the black shadow suddenly returned to its original state and appeared above the Seven Colored Treasure Island in the blink of an eye.
Yang Kai’s eyes narrowed as he watched this scene. After taking a blow from the Soul Slaying Blade in his Knowledge Sea, it was still completely unscathed. What the hell was this thing? Seeing that the black shadow was about to succeed, Yang Kai didn’t dare to hesitate and immediately activated the Soul Warming Lotus.
In an instant, seven colored lights blossomed on the Treasure Island, forming an invisible barrier that blocked the black shadow.
The black shadow attacked several times, but was still unable to break through the Soul Warming Lotus defences, instead continuing to charge forward.
Yang Kai stretched out his hand, grabbed the Soul Slaying Blade, and rushed forward, slashing it in half again.
However, the black shadow didn’t seem to care about him at all, as if he only had eyes for the Soul Warming Lotus, causing Yang Kai to laugh in anger. Was this fellow a bandit?
After a while, Yang Kai was speechless.
He could tell that this damn thing’s intelligence wasn’t high, and it seemed to be determined to obtain whatever it wanted, but the Soul Warming Lotus’s defences weren’t so easy to break through. The current situation was that this damn thing didn’t want to give up on the Soul Warming Lotus, but it was unable to enter it. Yang Kai, on the other hand, used his Soul Slaying Blade to slash it from left to right. Although he managed to cut it off again, each time, it would quickly recover, as if it had an undying body. Yang Kai couldn’t do anything about it.
The situation had fallen into a vicious cycle.
However, Yang Kai was also somewhat relieved. Fortunately, this damn thing didn’t have much intelligence, otherwise, with its strength, it would have been difficult to deal with.
