Sensing the abnormality, the Embodiment quickly moved to conceal the direction of the Abnormal Vision and the direction of the Demonic Qi in the world in order to prevent anyone from noticing.
Inside the cave three thousand meters below, Yang Kai’s muffled roar came from the rolling Demonic Qi, like a wounded beast licking its wounds. When the roar reached his ears, it made even his Embodiment feel uneasy.
At this point, it was no longer able to provide any help to Yang Kai. Yang Kai’s current situation was clearly a state of Qi Deviation. If he wanted to survive this disaster, he could only rely on himself. If he failed, everything would be for naught.
This made his Embodiment secretly anxious.
The howling continued for a long time before Yang Kai’s voice gradually became hoarse, as if his vocal cords had been torn apart.
During this time, Yang Kai absorbed an unknown amount of Demonic Qi from the world into his body. The massive amount of Ancient Demonic Qi sealed in his dantian was also released and merged with his flesh, blood, and meridians.
At that moment, Yang Kai suddenly opened his eyes.
The world is dark.
The three thousand meter underground cave clearly had no light at all and was pitch black to begin with, but in that instant, the Embodiment felt as if it was completely shrouded in darkness, as if not only was its vision blocked, even its Divine Sense was unable to detect anything.
In the darkness, there was a flash of golden light.
The Embodiment looked up and saw a golden vertical eye. As Yang Kai’s Embodiment, it naturally knew what this golden vertical eye was.
Demon Eye of Annihilation!
Yang Kai had obtained the Eye Divine Ability from Tongxuan Continent in the past, and he had also relied on his Demon Eye of Annihilation to defeat powerful enemies and turn the situation around.
This wasn’t the main point, the main point was Yang Kai’s other eye. Although he couldn’t see anything, the Embodiment could still feel that Yang Kai’s other eye was also open, but it was now pitch black.
Ancient Demon Black Eye!
The Embodiment’s eyes bulged as if it had been hit in the head by a sledgehammer, its thoughts becoming extremely confused.
The Ancient Demon’s Black Eye had always been a Divine Ability that could only be used when Yang Kai released the seal on his dantian. Once it was used, the world would become dark, so how could it appear now?
Could it be that the main body had really become a demon?
At this moment, Yang Kai’s roar turned into a roar of pain. The feeling of his Embodiment was right, both of his eyes were not in their normal state at the moment. The Demon Eye of Annihilation and the Black Eye of the Ancient Demon appeared at the same time. The Demon Eye of Annihilation in his left eye was fine, but the Black Eye of the Ancient Demon in his right eye seemed to be burning with pain. Not only was it painful, but it was also throbbing as if it was about to jump out of his eye sockets.
This kind of torture was simply unbearable.
Under this beating, Yang Kai felt as if his Soul were about to be scattered, giving him a feeling of living was worse than death.
He grit his teeth and persevered, using the Soul Warming Lotus to protect the last piece of pure land in his Knowledge Sea so that he wouldn’t fall into depravity and become a true demon. In this tenacious struggle against his own destiny, Yang Kai’s unstable aura gradually calmed down.
As time passed, the throbbing in his right eye became smaller, gradually reducing the pain he felt.
At some point, all of the pain disappeared and Yang Kai’s throbbing right eye stabilized. An indescribable sense of comfort spread throughout his body, causing him to let out a long sigh.
The black Demonic Qi in the cave receded like a receding tide into his body, restoring peace to the three thousand meter underground world.
Yang Kai sat cross-legged, breathing deeply. The aura of the Third-Order Emperor Realm master was obvious.
His Embodiment stood not far away and stared blankly. In this current situation, he couldn’t figure out whether Yang Kai had successfully passed this tribulation or if he had completely become a demon.
But no matter what, the main body was still the main body, and it could never be separated from Yang Kai. As long as there was no danger to his life, Yang Kai’s Embodiment could accept any changes.
After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Yang Kai opened his eyes again, and in that instant, the pitch-black cave seemed to overflow with light.
The Embodiment hurriedly asked, “What happened?”
Yang Kai stood up and stretched his limbs, feeling the condition of his body before scratching his chin, “It’s hard to say…”
“Why not?” The Embodiment stared.
Yang Kai said, “It’s a long story. My breakthrough was a success, but I don’t know what kind of situation I’m in right now.” The Third Order Emperor Realm was a sure thing, but Yang Kai didn’t know if he had really Become Devil or not.
Although he said that he had Become Devil, he had not lost his consciousness, and his mind was clear, but if he were to say that he had not Become Devil… the nature of the Emperor Qi in his body had undergone a tremendous change, completely transforming into Demonic Qi.
After all, he had absorbed so much Demonic Qi during his breakthrough that even the Ancient Demonic Qi in his dantian had been digested, and the Emperor Qi he had cultivated for so many years had been assimilated.
After telling his Embodiment about what had happened and his current state, Yang Kai grinned again, “In any case, I feel like I’ve never felt so happy before.”
The Embodiment was somewhat speechless. Even the main body didn’t know what was happening, so it was even more confused. After thinking about it for a while, it said, “Then all of this must have something to do with the black shadow that invaded your Knowledge Sea. Perhaps it was this shadow that gave you the ability to absorb the Demonic Qi.”
Yang Kai nodded solemnly, “I think so too, but we still need to investigate what that black shadow is.”
If it weren’t for the black shadow exploding and contaminating his Knowledge Sea, he probably wouldn’t have been able to absorb the Demonic Qi into his body, much less digest the massive amount of Demonic Qi sealed in his dantian.
Overall, although there had been many unforeseen changes during this breakthrough, the result was still quite satisfactory. Although Yang Kai was a bit unhappy about the Emperor Qi transforming into Demonic Qi, it was still a good thing that he had completely resolved the hidden danger in his dantian.
The last time he had used the power of the Azure Tree, Yang Kai had been secretly worried that if one day he was forced to unseal it again, there would be no turning back.
Now that the Ancient Demonic Qi had been completely assimilated by him, he would never have to worry about it again.
Yang Kai even felt that he could use the Boundless Darkness Divine Ability at any time, which was a pleasant surprise.
“Haha, so you’re really hiding here. This is truly a case of searching high and low only to find you here!”
A light laugh suddenly rang in Yang Kai’s ear.
Yang Kai’s expression changed drastically as he recognized this voice.
Bei Limo!
“This is bad, it should be because of your breakthrough that attracted her here,” The Embodiment muttered.
Previously, Yang Kai’s sudden change had caused a natural phenomenon, and although his Embodiment had immediately covered it up, it had not been too timely. However, at that time, Yang Kai had been in a critical situation, so his Embodiment had been unable to transfer him and could only pray that the phenomenon had not attracted any attention.
Who would have thought that it would actually attract Bei Limo.
Yang Kai’s breakthrough this time had taken quite some time, more than half a month. In other words, Bei Li Mo had probably been hiding in the Cloud Shadow Continent for a long time, otherwise it would have been impossible for her to have been able to observe that moment’s phenomenon.
Although the Embodiment was the master of the Cloud Shadow, if a Demon Saint wanted to hide their tracks, it was impossible for the Embodiment to detect them.
Crack crack… A strange sound rang out.
The temperature in the cave suddenly dropped, and soon after, the surrounding walls were covered in a layer of frost, sharp icicles rapidly growing out, filling the air with a cold chill.
“Go!” Yang Kai shouted.
Even though his strength had reached a new level, in front of a Demon Saint, he had no intention of fighting back. If he was really blocked by Bei Limo, there was no way he could escape.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Kai’s Embodiment summoned his Demonic Qi and wrapped him up before quickly travelling from the three thousand meters underground.
“Run? Since this Queen is here, do you think you can escape?” Bei Limo’s cold laughter rang out. Immediately after, the ground in front of him was covered in a thick layer of ice, making it extremely hard. In a moment of carelessness, the Embodiment actually crashed into it, knocking it out of its senses and forcing it to turn around and flee.
After circling the ground for a while, Yang Kai’s eyes suddenly lit up and the pressure around him suddenly disappeared. When he came back to his senses, he found that his Embodiment had taken him to the surface.
A light breeze blew across his face, causing him to feel a sense of comfort. A hundred metres in front of him, Bei Limo’s figure was enchanting, her red lips were enchanting, and she was staring at him with a light smile, her snow white hair gently swaying.
Yang Kai turned his head to look at the Embodiment and saw that its face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He guessed that it had somehow fallen into someone else’s trap and was now being led around.
“This lowly maid want is dead!” Yang Kai shouted as a giant moon blade slashed towards Bei Li Mo.
At the same time, without stopping to rest, he activated his Space Laws and wrapped his Embodiment up, preparing to escape.
On the other side, Bei Li Mo simply raised her hand slightly and shattered the moonblade that was slashing towards her before raising her hand and grabbing towards the void where Yang Kai was, instantly sealing the world.
Yang Kai and his Embodiment, which had just become blurry, once again solidified, no longer able to teleport.
Turning their heads to look at each other, the two of them simultaneously circulated their Demonic Qi and turned around, each of them using their respective Divine Abilities to attack Bei Limo. This time, they were risking their lives, not hoping to injure Bei Limo, but just trying to buy some time to escape.
However, the Demon Saint was still a Demon Saint after all. Facing the joint attack of Yang Kai and his Embodiment, Bei Limo’s eyes flashed disdainfully and a mocking smile appeared on her face. Standing in place, she simply raised her palm and pushed it towards the void.
Yang Kai and his Embodiment’s figures seemed to hit an invisible wall and suddenly froze.
Immediately after, a terrifying force came from the front and both of them were sent flying.
In midair, the Embodiment tried to stabilize itself, but it was unable to do so. Yang Kai spat out a mouthful of blood, his face pale.
