Among the Demon Territory’s twelve Demon Saints, which one of them wasn’t an old monster who had cultivated for tens of thousands of years or even longer? They had a tenacious nature and could remain calm even if the world collapsed before them, but today, the Flame Demon Master, Saint Chi Yan, had spoken two bad words in a very short time.
The first time was a mistake, but the second time was really bad.
He saw the World Gate not far away, and after the battle of the Eternal Heaven Continent, the scene of Yang Kai fleeing immediately appeared before his eyes.
At that time, Yang Kai had obtained a Great Emperor’s opportunity and fled in a panic, with many Demon Saints following close behind. If it weren’t for the World Gate suddenly disappearing without a trace, how could that human, who was only a Mid-Rank Demon King at that time, escape the pursuit of the Demon Saints?
It was impossible for the World Gate to disappear for no reason, and even if it did, it would take a long time. Since that human was able to repair and maintain the World Gate, it was likely that he had already developed a method to seal it. This was the common understanding of many Demon Saints after seeing the World Gate disappear!
This continent had already become a void. If even the World Gates were sealed, wouldn’t it become a land of death?
If Chi Yan could think of something, Zu Liao naturally could as well. His expression changed slightly as he hurriedly rushed towards the World Gate with Chi Yan, secretly praying that things would not go as he had imagined.
However, what they feared would come. When the two Demon Saints arrived together and saw the World Gate from afar, Bei Limo and Chang Tian had already disappeared. Only Yu Rumeng was standing in front of the World Gate, smiling as she looked towards them with a mocking expression. Her red lips moved slightly as she whispered something into the ears of the two Demon Saints.
“Have fun!”
Chi Yan and Zu Liao's expressions changed again, each of them releasing a different colored light as their speed suddenly increased, rushing towards the World Gate.
They're really anxious.
After saying these words, Yu Rumeng turned around and disappeared into the World Gate.
As they got closer to the World Gate, Zu Liao and Chi Yan’s faces filled with excitement. In just three breaths, they would be able to pass through the World Gate and leave this place.
Three breaths later, the two Demon Saints really did pass through the World Gate, but just before they reached it, the World Gate suddenly disappeared. The two of them flew for thousands of kilometers before finally stabilizing themselves.
Looking back, the entire world was filled with nothingness and chaos was gradually rising. Chi Yan and Zu Liao’s expressions were extremely ugly. At this moment, how could they not know that they had fallen into the little thief’s trap? It was likely that he had already planned all of this, otherwise how could he have come up with such a thorough plan?
This time, the two Demon Saints had come together and both of them had fallen into the void. If they wanted to leave this place and return to the Demon Territory, it would be quite difficult.
If an ordinary person were to fall into this kind of environment, they would have long ago fallen into despair, but Chi Yan and Zu Liao were both extraordinary people and respected Demon Saints.
But now that things had come to this, there was no point in complaining or regretting. The sooner they thought of a way to return to the Demon Territory, the better. After exchanging a glance, the two of them flew back together and flew into the distance.
This continent definitely had more than one World Gate. Since one of them was sealed, they naturally had to find another way out.
However, three days later, the two of them flew back and stopped in front of a void.
After three days of searching, they confirmed that all of the World Gates on this continent had been sealed and there was no way to find an exit. As for where the other World Gates were, they weren’t sure, so they could only return.
After staring for a while, Chi Yan pointed forward and asked, “Is it here?”
Zu Liao shook his head, “It should be a hundred meter to the left.”
“Are you sure?” Chi Yan looked back at him.
Zu Liao was silent for a moment before decisively replying, “I’m not sure.”
Chi Yan didn’t know what to say, so after thinking for a moment, he said, “Then let’s attack together.”
“Good!” Zu Liao nodded.
The two Demon Saints immediately stood a hundred meters away from each other and stared at the space in front of them with solemn expressions, as if they were enemies.
Demonic Qi suddenly surged and a scorching hot aura filled the air as Chi Yan punched out towards the void. The flames on his fist seemed to be able to melt even space itself.
On the other side, Zu Liao’s movements were undoubtedly much gentler. With a flick of his ten fingers, tiny threads that could be seen with the naked eye appeared in front of him. The strange thing was that the void seemed to have transformed into a lake, and as soon as the threads entered it, they disappeared. Immediately after, Zu Liao used his Demonic Qi and…
There was nothing.
Zu Liao withdrew his hand and stood beside Chi Yan, “You’re right.”
Chi Yan ignored him and simply punched the air in front of him again. Each punch was so powerful that even a continent would be torn to pieces, and the space in front of him began to crack.
After more than a dozen punches, the void really shattered, revealing a huge hole. The chaotic aura of the void inside was even stronger than where the two of them were now. If they really rushed in, they might be lost in the void forever, unable to find their way back.
But now that things had come to this, what choice did the two Demon Saints have? They could only fight to survive, not to mention that the two of them were not completely helpless, they just had to take some risks.
Deep breaths…
A moment later, Chi Yan said, “Let’s go!”
Saying so, he stepped forward.
“Wait a moment!” Zu Liao raised his hand to stop him and pointed towards Zu Liao. From his fingertip, a white thread appeared. This white thread was like a living creature, wriggling endlessly. Seeing this, Chi Yan immediately showed a look of disdain.
“Hehe…” Zu Liao chuckled, “You and I don’t know how dangerous it is inside, this aura is not good. With this Soul Guiding Thread, you and I won’t be separated.”
Chi Yan didn’t answer, only slightly withdrawing the flames on his body to reveal a small gap.
The Soul Guiding Thread immediately drilled into Chi Yan's body and disappeared in the blink of an eye, allowing the two of them to step into the void.
The first thing he saw was a chaotic flow of the Void, almost engulfing Chi Yan. Fortunately, Chi Yan's cultivation was quite profound, so he was able to sense that something was wrong and escape. If it had been a Demon King, he would have died here.
There was no light in the darkness, only endless void turbulence and violent void storms. With the Soul Guiding Threads, the two Demon Saints didn’t fall apart, but after stepping into this void crack, the two of them could no longer feel the passage of time. Not only that, but they were also unable to determine their direction and could only walk forward step by step.
After some time, Chi Yan suddenly stopped and asked, “Can you feel the aura of the Ancestral Land?”
The Demon Territory's Race only had one Ancestral Land. The Ancestral Land was invisible and no one knew where it was, but it was the birthplace of all Demon Race. Ordinary Demon Race didn’t know about this, but when Demon Saints were promoted, they had all received blessings from the Ancestral Land.
This was also the biggest reason why the two Demon Saints dared to enter the Void. In this place, it was true that they couldn’t determine their direction or find an exit, but as long as they could feel the aura of the Ancestral Land and follow its guidance, they would eventually be able to escape.
However, no sound came out.
Chi Yan suddenly understood and sent a Demonic Qi transmission to Zu Liao.
Zu Liao replied, “No, what about you?”
Chi Yan replied, “Neither.”
“Then let’s continue.”
He could only continue walking. The Void Crack was not a sealed jar. Since he could enter and leave, he only needed to find a suitable path.
Although they couldn’t sense it here, it didn’t mean they couldn’t sense it elsewhere. As long as they could sense the aura of the Ancestral Land, the two Demon Saints would be able to use this aura to find the exit. Perhaps in three to five years, or even a hundred years, they wouldn’t really be trapped here.
While Chi Yan and Zu Liao were trapped in the void, Yang Kai was devouring the remaining continents under Yu Rumeng.
The arrival of Chi Yan and Zu Liao was within Yang Kai’s expectations. Since he couldn’t stop it, he could only take advantage of the situation and trap them in the void. This was the result of Yang Kai and Yu Rumeng’s discussion.
Although the three of them had the upper hand against Zu Liao and Chi Yan, it was still extremely difficult for them to kill a Demon Saint. Back then, the Eternal Heaven Continent had sent out such a large force just to kill one Bright Moon Great Emperor, so how could Yang Kai have put up such a show?
Since he couldn’t kill them, he could only trap them.
This way, his side would have more buffer time, at the very least allowing him to completely devour all of the continents under Yu Rumeng’s command.
“The Ancestral Land is ethereal and is impossible to find, but it is there. As long as they can sense the aura of the Ancestral Land, it won’t be difficult for them to escape. If it were me, I would only have this method,” Yu Rumeng stood next to Yang Kai. When Yang Kai asked how long it would take for Zu Liao and Chi Yan to escape, she replied.
“Ancestral Land?” Yang Kai frowned.
Chang Tian also glanced over at her. He had obtained the Demon Saint Power through his Bloodline Inheritance, so when he had broken through, he hadn’t felt any aura from the Ancestral Land, so he found Yu Rumeng’s explanation quite novel.
Yu Rumeng said, “Only by obtaining the blessings of the Ancestral Land can a Demon Saint become a Demon Saint!”
Hearing this, Yang Kai somewhat understood, “It’s like the acknowledgement of the Heavens and Earth of the Star Boundary!”
“Something like that.”
Yang Kai secretly sighed in pity. After all, the place where Zu Liao and Chi Yan were trapped was still in the Demon Territory, giving them a chance to sense the Ancestral Land. If they were trapped in the Star Boundary, they would never be able to leave the Void Crack unless they were extremely lucky and found the exit.
But then again, this time, it was relying on the special continents of the Demon Territory, the Star Boundary didn’t have such convenient conditions. At the very least, the Star Boundary didn’t have those continents and World Gates.
“Then how long do you think it will take for them to escape?” Yang Kai asked again.
Yu Rumeng smiled and said, “That’s hard to say, after all, I’ve never entered the Void Crack before, so I don’t know what the situation inside is like, but in general, this depends on their luck. If they’re lucky, they might be able to escape in a few days, but if they’re unlucky, they might be trapped for a few dozen or even a hundred years.”
Bei Limo find her not pleasing to the eyes, so she coldly snorted, “Saying it is the same as not saying it.”
