Sure enough, a life and death struggle was the fastest way for a cultivator to grow. The various comprehensions that erupted from this life and death struggle would be deeply imprinted into one’s flesh and blood, never to be forgotten.
Thinking back to the battle eight days ago, Yang Kai felt somewhat relieved.
Fortunately, after his Soul’s power increased dramatically, he was able to make Yin Si's Soul Secret Technique lose its effectiveness and even become immune to her charm. Fortunately, Yin Si's injuries hadn’t healed that day, and he was even more thankful that she had been too careless and caught her off guard. Otherwise, Yang Kai wouldn’t have been able to kill a Half-Saint in her territory.
As the master of the Flying Cloud Continent, if it wasn’t for the fact that she was tightly bound by him, Yin Si would have been able to escape at any time. Even if he was proficient in Space Abilities, he wouldn’t have been able to stop her.
Of course, Yang Kai wasn’t so hot-headed as to insist on fighting her one-on-one. At that time, he had already made up his mind to release Wind Chaser if things really went south, and if the two of them were to fight two on one, Yin Si wouldn’t be able to do anything to him.
This battle had allowed Yang Kai to gain a lot of benefits. The most obvious manifestation of this battle was that it allowed him to gain a deep understanding of his current combat strength. Although he might not be comparable to a Half-Saint, he was not at the level of a Second-Order Emperor Realm, unable to fight back against a Half-Saint.
If he were to reveal all of his trump cards, Yang Kai estimated that even if he were to fight a Half-Saint one on one, he would still be able to put up a fight.
Thinking back to the time when he had encountered Cang Mo outside the Heavenly Wolf Valley in the Star Boundary’s Eastern Region, even if he had joined forces with his Embodiment, he had still been beaten to a pulp by Cang Mo. He couldn’t help feeling a little regretful. As time passed, if he were to encounter Cang Mo again, if he were to join forces with his Embodiment, they would definitely be able to kill him!
Yang Kai’s body didn’t have any hidden dangers, and in the face of his powerful regenerative ability, the injuries he had yet to fully recover from would only require a few more days of rest before he could feel at ease.
With a flip of his hand, Yang Kai took out a Space Ring. The shape of this Space Ring was very beautiful, which was worn by Yin Si. After Yang Kai killed Yin Si inside the Mountain River Bell, he naturally didn’t forget to collect his spoils of war.
With Yang Kai’s current cultivation, an ordinary Demon King’s Space Ring wouldn’t be able to arouse his interest, but a Half-Saint’s Space Ring should have some good things inside.
After a quick examination, Yang Kai smiled happily.
There were indeed some good things in Yin Si's Space Ring, but what interested Yang Kai the most was naturally the Myriad Demon Pill.
There were only about a thousand of them, not much compared to the ones he had robbed from Bei Limo.
There were also several billion demon crystals, some Demon Treasures, and some Secret Technique of the Demon Race, as well as Yin Si's personal items. What made Yang Kai speechless was that her Space Ring was somewhat similar to Bei Limo’s. There were countless different styles of clothing, and most of them were extremely revealing.
From the looks of it, this woman was still a woman. Whether it was a Demon Saint or a Half-Saint, there was not much difference in their pursuit of beauty.
He wondered if Yu Rumeng’s Space Ring also contained these things…
Having seen the richness of Bei Limo’s Space Ring, Yin Si's could only be considered a small matter, so although Yang Kai was very happy to obtain some useful things, he didn’t care too much about it.
After taking out all the things that were useful to him, he take out the clothes in his Space Ring and worked for a while before finishing up.
Immediately after, Yang Kai took out some healing pills and swallowed them. While refining the medicinal efficacies of these pills, he also took out some Space Spirit Jades and began refining them into Space Spirit Beads.
A few days ago, when he was being chased by the Demon Saints, Yang Kai felt a sense of urgency.
With his current strength, he could still fight against a Half-Saint, but if he encountered a Demon Saint, he could only suffer a loss. Although Yu Rumeng had reached a new agreement with the other Demon Saints and there would be no more Demon Saints attacking him, if he placed his safety on this agreement, Yang Kai would not be able to live until today.
With enough benefits in front of them, any agreement could be easily torn apart. Being in the enemy's camp, Yang Kai had no choice but to consider his own safety.
The only thing he could rely on now was his Space Divine Ability.
Teleportation was a means of escape, but compared to the Space Spirit Bead, it was undoubtedly shorter and could easily be interrupted by the Demon Saints.
The Space Beacon attached to the Space Spirit Bead was sometimes more convenient and faster than teleportation, and the distance it could move was also less limited.
Seeing Yang Kai busy himself, Mu Zhu and Mu Lu sat quietly to the side and watched with curious expressions.
New Space Spirit Beads formed in Yang Kai’s hands as time slowly passed.
During this time, Yang Kai saw that the two Wood Spirits had nothing to do, so he took the initiative to chat with them, mainly because they're locked up in the Mysterious Small World by him. After all, after he took them from the Patriarch of the Wood Spirit Race, these two little ones had been living in the Mysterious Small World and had never left. Usually, only he and his Embodiment could communicate with them.
Mu Zhu and Mu Lu were very curious about the Demon Territory, so most of the following topics were about the Demon Race.
After hearing about the Demon Territory’s special geographical environment and the fragmented continents, the two Wood Spirits showed a look of surprise. They also heard that the Demon Territory had twelve Demon Saints, each of them incredibly powerful, causing Mu Zhu and Mu Lu to look worried.
A few days later, Yang Kai had refined several hundred Space Spirit Beads and felt that his injuries were much better, so he stopped.
After informing the two Wood Spirits, Yang Kai flashed out of the Mysterious Small World.
On top of the barren mountain, Wind Chaser was still kneeling on the ground, his large eyes staring around vigilantly, as if he was a guardian guarding a treasure. Anyone who dared to approach him would suffer his wrath.
Yang Kai appeared directly beside it.
Wind Chaser turned his head to look at Yang Kai and immediately stood up with a grin on his face, intimately rubbing Yang Kai’s head before turning his head to indicate to the Mysterious Boundary Bead on the ground that he had been guarding this place all this time.
“Has anyone come over recently?” Yang Kai asked.
Wind Chaser snorted…
“En, well done,” Yang Kai patted its head and put away the Mysterious Boundary Bead. Using his Divine Sense, he quickly found an abandoned cave on this barren mountain.
After instructing Wind Chaser to wait here, Yang Kai’s figure flickered and disappeared, returning a moment later.
In this short period of time, he had hidden a Space Spirit Bead somewhere in the abandoned cave.
He wanted to connect all the Demon Territory’s continents with his Space Spirit Beads, especially the ones near the World Gates. This way, it would be easier for him to travel between the various continents in the future, and if he encountered any Demon Saints chasing after him, he would be able to escape in time.
If not for this, he wouldn’t have been able to produce so many Space Spirit Beads at once.
Getting up on Wind Chaser's back, Yang Kai took out a map and checked his position and the direction of the World Gate before pointing it out to Wind Chaser. Immediately, Wind Chaser stepped on a golden flame and flew off.
He didn’t plan on finding trouble with Di Li. It had been so long since he had killed Yin Si, so the news had probably spread throughout the entire Demon Territory. If he went to find Di Li now, the other party would definitely be prepared and he might even fall into his trap.
His original goal had already been achieved. Since Yu Rumeng had already reached an agreement with the other Demon Saints, once the news of him killing Yin Si alone spread out, it would likely cause many Half-Saint to become wary and suppress their desire to stir up trouble. Whether or not he find Di Li didn’t matter.
Not to mention, Di Li wasn’t Yin Si. As a Succubus, Yin Si's ability was greatly reduced after being restricted by him, but if it had been Di Li, the outcome would have been uncertain.
What he didn’t know was that Di Li had long since gone to the Two Worlds Battlefield and wasn’t even in the Demon Territory.
The journey was a bit slow, mainly because Yang Kai had to stop from time to time to hide his Space Spirit Bead in some suitable places.
As he walked through the various continents, Yang Kai left behind at least three Space Spirit Beads. There would definitely be one near each World Gate, while the others would be hidden somewhere else.
These Space Spirit Beads might be discovered and taken away by others, but they shouldn’t be completely wiped out. As long as any one of these Space Spirit Beads played a role at the critical moment, his plan today wouldn’t be in vain.
It wasn’t until half a month later that Yang Kai arrived at his destination, the Proud Snow Continent!
Naturally, he had come to Proud Snow Continent at this time with no good intentions. That day, he had borrowed the power of Xuan Bing and transferred his Soul Brand to Bei Limo. Although Yang Kai had taken her Soul Mark as a double insurance, it was not impossible for a Demon Saint to break free from this shackle.
Although Bei Limo had agreed readily that day, Yang Kai estimated that she had been trying to find a way to break the seal he had planted in her Knowledge Sea.
The difference in cultivation between the two of them at that time was not small, especially in terms of Soul cultivation. Yang Kai wasn’t certain how long his Soul Brand could last under Bei Limo’s methods.
As such, he had rushed over to reinforce the strength of his Soul Brand to prevent Bei Limo from escaping his control.
Controlling a Demon Saint would be of great help to his future plans and could even be said to be the key to success or failure, so how could he allow Bei Limo to regain her freedom?
This time’s reinforcement would probably give Bei Limo a big surprise. Hopefully, she wouldn’t be too shocked.
The corners of Yang Kai’s mouth curled up into a playful smile. First, he found a place near the World Gate to hide a Space Spirit Bead and left a way out for himself. Only then did he slowly ride his Wind Chaser towards Proud Snow Ice Palace.
Half a day later, from a distance, Yang Kai could see the huge and hazy outline of Proud Snow Ice Palace, and at that moment, he suddenly felt a strong connection to something there.
Yang Kai let out a loud laugh, knowing that he hadn’t arrived too late. Bei Limo hadn’t broken his Soul Brand yet, otherwise he wouldn’t have had such a feeling. Beside the Divine Soul Brand close connection, there is nothing else.
