The sound came from the remains of the Great Emperor in the hands of the Wind Monarch. Half of its long ribs were suddenly broken, and the other half was reduced to dust. At the same time, Yang Kai felt that the Wind Monarch, who was so close to him, was suddenly thousands of feet away…
The full-powered strike and the Demonic Artifact war hammer of his Embodiment both missed. Looking up again, the Wind Monarch’s figure had merged into the outline of the Passing of Time Temple. It was as if he had entered another world and was staring at Yang Kai through a transparent barrier.
Standing in front of the grand door and under the plaque of the Passing of Time Temple, the Wind Monarch’s expression was fierce as he grit his teeth and shouted, “Yang Kai, you’ve ruined this King’s plans. When this King comes out of seclusion, I will slaughter your High Heaven Palace!”
Yang Kai’s eyes narrowed. How could he not know that he had entered the Four Seasons Land?
Before the time came, the Four Seasons Land would not open easily, but since Qiong Qi could enter it, it meant that this small world was not completely sealed off and there were other ways to enter.
The Wind Monarch had grasped one of these methods.
When the Great Array was interrupted just now, the outline of the Passing of Time Temple gradually became fixed, and now, with the remains in the hands of the Wind Monarch as a medium, the Passing of Time Temple gradually became blurry and disappeared.
The Wind Monarch had set up a great array here and had come here with the remains of the Great Emperor. His original plan was to summon the Passing of Time Temple from the Four Seasons Land and refine it into his own palace, but after Yang Kai had led the Demon Race’s Half Saints here, this plan had failed.
He could only settle for the next best thing and enter the Passing of Time Temple himself, which was why he hated Yang Kai so much and even threatened him.
From the looks of it, when the outline completely disappeared, it would be the moment the Four Seasons Land was completely isolated from the Star Boundary.
The Passing of Time Temple quickly faded away, and with just a few words from the Wind Monarch, its outline had almost disappeared.
Yang Kai took a step forward, the Space Laws around him surging as his Divine Sense spread out like a tide, simultaneously shouting, “You stay!”
These words were directed towards his Embodiment. He had been unable to enter the Four Seasons Land before because he had been unable to find the Space Beacon in the Void. Now that the Wind Monarch had used the power of the Great Emperor's remains, the Four Seasons Land was somewhat related to the Star Boundary. With his attainments in the Space Laws, he should be able to break through the World Barrier of the Small World and enter the Four Seasons Land to pursue the Wind Monarch.
No matter what the Wind Monarch was plotting, he was one of the four Great Monarch Envoys of the Demonic Heavenly Dao, so Yang Kai can't turn a blind eye on him, not to mention that he still had his people in the Four Seasons Land.
However, he could pursue him, but his Embodiment couldn’t.
Bai Zhuo and Bai Ya had been struck by the Great Emperor’s Divine Ability and were unable to move, so they needed someone to take care of them. Although he could take Bai Zhuo and Bai Ya back to the Mysterious Small World, the Demonic Heavenly Dao’s Emperor Realms hadn’t died yet, so his Embodiment had to remain behind to deal with the aftermath.
When the Embodiment heard this, it knew that the current situation did not allow it to follow, so it immediately nodded, “Be careful.”
No one knew what kind of ability the main body possessed better than it, so even if the Wind Monarch was a Pseudo Emperor, the Embodiment wasn’t too worried. What’s more, the Wind Monarch had used a lot of Divine Abilities from the Great Emperor’s remains, so it was uncertain how much strength he could display.
On top of that, the Four Seasons Land not only had Yang Xue and Yang Xiao, but also masters like the Liu Yan and Qiong Qi. The Wind Monarch didn’t know about this, but how could the Embodiment not know? The Wind Monarch thought that escaping into the Four Seasons Land would allow him to relax, but in reality, he had barged into a dragon’s pool and tiger’s den. The only thing he didn’t know was how the Wind Monarch would react when he ran into them in the Four Seasons Land, it was likely he would be… surprised.
This was one of the advantages of communicating with one’s Embodiment. There was no need to waste words, just a single thought was enough to see through each other’s thoughts.
However, in the time it took to say this, the outline of the Passing of Time Temple had completely disappeared along with the Wind Monarch’s figure.
The connection between the Four Seasons Land and the Star Boundary would soon be severed.
As the Space Laws surged, Yang Kai took three steps forward, with the first two steps. He was still standing in place, seemingly motionless, but after taking the third step, he had mysteriously disappeared.
At the same time, the Embodiment also lost contact with Yang Kai, knowing that he had entered the Four Seasons Land.
A battle between Half-Saint and Pseudo Emperor had taken place in a hurry, so it was only now that Grandmaster Sun, who was watching from the side, turned pale and tried to flee.
A figure appeared in front of him, blocking his path. Zhou Quan’s expression was cold as he held two giant bronze hammers in his hands, acting as one man to act as the mountain, “Grandmaster Sun, where do you want to go?”
When the Great Array was first activated, Zhou Quan had forced out a mouthful of blood and used it to escape. This was the idea Yang Kai had given him; otherwise, once the Great Array was fully activated, it would be difficult to escape.
Looking at the fate of the Emperor Realm masters lying on the ground, it was obvious that with Zhou Quan’s cultivation, even if he didn’t die, he would at least be seriously injured.
Escaping early and preserving his life, besides Grandmaster Sun, he was in his best condition.
Although Grandmaster Sun’s attainments in the Dao of Arrays were profound and he also had a First-Order Emperor Realm cultivation, his ability to fight with others was simply too lacking. There was already a Half-Saint from the Demon Race who was glaring at him like a tiger watching its prey, and now that Zhou Quan had blocked his path, Grandmaster Sun’s face immediately became anxious as he tried to put on a brave front, “Scram, or this King will show no mercy.”
Zhou Quan slowly shook his head, “Before Palace Master Yang returns, Grandmaster Sun should remain.” He didn’t immediately kill him, his own experience was the best example. As long as he could extract the Blood Demon’s Blood Essence from his body, the people of Demonic Heavenly Dao would naturally be able to recognize their position and no longer serve the Demon Race, unless they were the kind of people who took the initiative and sincerely sought refuge with the Demon Race. Generally, those who had been influenced by the Secret Technique and changed their minds would not be able to find their way back.
Zhou Quan wasn’t clear about the situation of others, but he had heard from others that this Grandmaster Sun was also captured by the Demon Race and was turn to the demonic path with a Secret Technique.
Words were useless, Grandmaster Sun decisively threw out a jade token towards Zhou Quan.
The most common method Array Masters used in battle was to take out their Formation Plate with sealed Formations in it, making it convenient and quick.
Zhou Quan waited, but before the Formation Plate could reach him, a figure appeared out of nowhere and grabbed it. Looking over, it was one of the helpers Yang Kai had summoned.
With a gentle squeeze, the Formation Plate was crushed and violent energy poured out from the Embodiment's hand, but it was unable to harm him in the slightest.
Grandmaster Sun’s complexion changed greatly as he took out a few more Formation Token.
The Embodiment couldn’t be bothered with him and rushed forward, punching out and knocking him unconscious.
Zhou Quan, who was watching from the side, felt cold sweat drip down his forehead… If one’s strength was strong enough, fighting would be as simple and brutal as this.
…
In a small world isolated from the outside world, Yang Kai leisurely appeared, but the Passing of Time Temple and Wind Monarch were nowhere to be seen.
Although he had immediately chased after him, the difference in void shuttle was a thousand feet away, so the current situation wasn’t strange. He had come to the Four Seasons Land once before, and at that time his strength was still quite low. Now that he had returned, he was already a Third-Order Emperor Realm master.
The Four Seasons Land did not allow cultivators above the Principle Source Stage to enter, this small world had its own laws. Unless one could transcend this law, they would be restricted.
However, before this place, Qiong Qi had opened the back door and brought Liu Yan in. Now, with the Wind Monarch holding the remains of the Great Emperor, the restriction on the cultivation level had been broken.
If not for this, Yang Kai would not have been able to enter safely.
However, this was indeed the Four Seasons Land. Glancing around, Yang Kai vaguely felt that the surrounding scenery was somewhat familiar. He should have been here before.
Thinking about it again, he suddenly realized that this was the Two Seasons Mountain!
The Four Seasons Land was divided into four major domains, the spring, summer, autumn, and winter. The two Seasons Mountains ran through the entire Four Seasons Land, separating the four domains. The two Seasons Mountains each had different seasons and were extremely mysterious.
Recognizing the location, Yang Kai carefully recalled the location of the Passing of Time Temple before flying off.
However, after just taking a step, he suddenly stopped and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Because the moment he took that step, the environment he was in suddenly changed dramatically.
When he first entered this place, the surrounding temperature was extremely hot, as if he was in the middle of summer, but after taking that step, the scorching heat instantly disappeared, and a cold wind blew past his ears, filling his vision with white snow. It was as if he had entered the middle of a cold winter day, and that cold chill was seeping through his pores and into his flesh. If an ordinary person were to come here, they would likely be frozen to death within a few breaths.
Such a change was something he had never encountered before, causing Yang Kai to frown.
Although the changes in the seasons were rapid, there was no sense of abruptness. The scenery around him was also completely consistent with the feeling of the seasons, as if he had stepped into a different world.
After pondering for a moment, Yang Kai took another step forward.
When this step landed, the bone-piercing chill disappeared and was replaced by a bleak autumn wind. The snow around him faded, the leaves withered, the trees in the jungle were covered in fruit…
After the summer and winter scenes, it was autumn!
Yang Kai raised his foot again, but this time he didn’t take a step forward, instead taking a step back.
Logically speaking, when this step landed, it should have been the winter scenery he had just encountered, but what was surprising was that instead of the winter scenery, it was the spring scenery!
Yang Kai didn’t hesitate and continued forward.
Step by step, the scenery in front of him changed. It was no longer his vision, but rather the entire small world.
There was no pattern to it at all. The four seasons land seemed to change at will.
Yang Kai’s brow wrinkled even more. Although he didn’t know what had happened in the Four Seasons Land, it seemed that something had happened here.
What worried him now was whether this unforeseen event was caused by the arrival of the Wind Monarch, or if it had originally existed.
If it was the former, it wouldn’t matter. All he needed to do was find the Wind Monarch and kill him.
If it was the latter… it meant that Qiong Qi and the others had encountered some kind of trouble. Otherwise, why would such a change occur in a place like this?
