This army not only included the three Demon Saints’ elite masters, but also the ones who had been recruited by the three Demon Saints over the past decade.
This army had a total of two million people!
However, because they were all from the Demon Race, Li Wuyi didn’t feel comfortable using them in today’s battle, so he told them to stay put.
Currently, the Demon Race on the battlefield was in a state of madness, not even recognizing their own relatives. Even the two Demon Kings Yang Kai summoned from the Mysterious Small World were unable to escape. What would happen to the two million strong army? No one dared to imagine.
Hearing Yang Kai’s question, Su Yan quickly pointed in a certain direction, and in the next moment, Yang Kai’s figure had already disappeared, leaving behind a voice, “Quickly report this matter to Army's General Li!”
A few thousand kilometers away, the place where Yu Rumeng and the others were stationed was already in chaos.
When Yang Kai arrived at this place, he saw the two million strong army’s miserable cries and angry roars from below. The entire camp was in chaos, and the corpses of the Demon Race were strewn across the ground. The ground had been dyed red with blood, and the Demon Race’s Demonic Qi surged as they madly attacked everything around them.
Seeing this scene, Yang Kai sighed in his heart. Sure enough, they were not spared.
Amidst the chaos, nearly thirty figures gathered and stood in the air, all of them staring down blankly, their eyes filled with confusion and grief. All of them were Half-Saint masters.
These thirty Half-Saints were originally subordinates of Yu Rumeng and the other two Saint Venerables, as well as the few Half-Saints Yang Kai had captured when he devoured the Flame Demon Saint Chi Yan's Territory. Although these Half-Saints were loyal to the Flame Demon Chi Yan, when they fell into the hands of Yu Rumeng and the others, they naturally had a way to make them submit obediently.
At this moment, the thirty or so Half-Saints weren’t affected at all, just like Bai Zhuo and Bai Ya. Everything was fine, but the sudden change in the army left the Half-Saints dumbfounded.
There was simply no way to stop them. With more than two million people going crazy, how could they stop them? Unless they killed all of them, but could they kill all of them? They didn’t even know how to explain themselves after the three Saint Venerables returned.
On the other side, there were more than a hundred figures sitting cross-legged with Demonic Qi surging around their bodies. With a sweep of his Divine Sense, Yang Kai knew that these people were all High-Rank Demon Kings.
Obviously, they had also been affected, but their strength was still high and they had not completely lost their minds, so they were struggling to resist!
However, judging from their stance, Yang Kai estimated that they wouldn’t be able to resist for long. If this continued, it was only a matter of time before they went crazy.
In a flash, he appeared above the heads of the High-Rank Demon Kings and shouted, “Don’t resist!”
As the giant hand descended, Yang Kai’s Divine Sense surged out like a tidal wave, wrapping up the hundred or so High-Rank Demon Kings. By the time Yang Kai stopped, all of the Demon Kings who had been struggling to resist had disappeared and were drawn into the Mysterious Small World.
“Sir!” The Lian Sisters rushed over and saw Yang Kai as if he was their savior, quickly pleading, “Sir, please save them, they suddenly became like this.”
Yang Kai didn’t waste any time and simply nodded, “That’s exactly why I came!”
Saying so, with a wave of his hand, several dozen streaks of light shot towards the Half-Saint cultivators, one for each of them. The Half-Saint cultivators reached out and grabbed it, only to discover that it was a round bead the size of a dragon’s eye. There was no energy fluctuation coming from it, and no one knew what it was for. All of them looked up at Yang Kai suspiciously.
“You all know what the Mysterious Boundary Bead is. It has the function of the Mysterious Boundary Bead and can be used to store living things without refining them. Split up and save as many as you can!”
The Half Saints were overjoyed when they heard this and all of them gripped the World Bead tightly.
Yang Kai had already rushed into the army and with his Divine Sense, wherever he passed, large swaths of the Demon Race would disappear and be absorbed into the Mysterious Small World.
The Mysterious Boundary Bead's absorption of living people was quite specific. If the other party didn’t resist, the consumption wouldn’t be too great, it would simply be the amount of energy required to open the Mysterious Boundary Bead's World Barrier. However, if the person being taken in didn’t cooperate and resisted, the amount of energy consumed would increase dramatically, depending on the strength of the person resisting, the amount of energy consumed would also decrease or increase.
On the other hand, if the strength of the person who was captured was stronger than Yang Kai’s, then Yang Kai would be helpless.
He vaguely remembered the first time he had drawn his Embodiment into the Mysterious Small World, where he had been exhausted.
The World Bead was refined from an imitation of the Mysterious Boundary Bead, so it naturally applied to this rule. None of the Demon Race present had the strength of more than half a Saint, so the World Bead was definitely useful in the hands of a Half Saint.
Yang Kai’s current Soul cultivation far exceeded that of an ordinary Half-Saint, so even if the Demon Race didn’t cooperate, they wouldn’t be able to delay their capture.
With Yang Kai leading the way, the Half-Saint cultivators spread out and began running around the battlefield, using the World Bead in their hands to collect the crazed Demon Race.
A moment later, the Mysterious Boundary Bead had transformed into a rolling mass (Gun Gun), its huge round body covering the sky as it opened its mouth and swallowed a large number of demons.
However, this is Star Boundary, so Yang Kai didn’t dare allow Gun Gun to freely swallow it. Otherwise, if it swallowed the entire Star Boundary, it would become an eternal sinner, so even if Gun Gun appeared, it wouldn’t be able to solve this problem in a short time.
On top of that, the two million or so Demon Race cultivators were too scattered, so it was impossible to collect all of them in a short time.
The Half-Saints spared no effort and were burning with anxiety. They all knew that each additional clansman they took in would reduce the number of casualties.
However, there was a limit to their strength. Even a Half-Saint would have to expend an unimaginable amount of energy to forcefully collect living creatures without the cooperation of the Demon Race’s army.
Not long after, all the Half-Saints turned pale, a sign that their Divine Sense had been exhausted.
Looking around, there were still half of the people on the battlefield who had yet to be collected.
Fortunately, at this moment, Li Wuyi had led a large group of Army Commanders to this place.
When Li Wuyi received Yang Kai’s report and learned that he had come here, he immediately thought of many things and ordered his various armies to stand by and wait for his orders.
Just in time to witness the pale faces of the Half-Saint cultivators.
After a brief understanding of the situation, Li Wuyi found more than thirty Commanders with slightly stronger Soul cultivation to replace the Half-Saints.
After busying themselves for a long time, they finally collected all the Demon Race survivors and let out a sigh of relief.
Yang Kai stood in the air and looked down. Seeing the mountain of corpses and the blood flowing from them, he couldn’t help sighing.
Although they didn’t take a careful count, after this unforeseen event, the two million strong Demon Race army had suffered at least five hundred thousand casualties, with the casualty rate being as high as more than twenty percent. Such heavy casualties were simply inexplicable.
Just now, he had been too busy collecting people to investigate anything, so it was only now that Yang Kai had the time to investigate the situation inside the Mysterious Small World.
After discovering that they had been drawn into the Mysterious Small World, the crazed Demon Race cultivators gradually regained their senses and stopped attacking, secretly relieved.
Since the situation in the Mysterious Small World was like this, the situation inside the World Bead was definitely the same.
Yang Kai didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He hadn’t expected that the World Bead he had worked so hard to refine in the Star Field would come in handy so quickly and in such a manner.
“Sir.” The Lian Sisters flew up and adjusted their breathing for a moment. Although they had not fully recovered, their complexions had at least improved and were no longer as pale as before, “Where are the three Saint Venerable?”
Yang Kai said, “The ten Demon Saints from the Demon Territory have come, they’ve gone to chase after them.”
Hearing this, the Lian Sisters’ expressions became serious and they asked, “What happened just now? Does Sir know?”
Yang Kai slowly shook his head, “I don’t know either. I asked a Demon King, but all he said was that a voice suddenly rang out in her mind, and then she couldn’t control herself.”
The Lian Sisters expressions changed again as they looked at each other in disbelief. They hadn’t heard anything, but they knew that Yang Kai wouldn’t fool them in this matter.
“This matter needs to be carefully investigated before it can be concluded. When the three Saint Venerable return, I’ll ask them.”
Since things had come to this point, the Lian Sisters could only nod lightly.
Li Wuyi waved at Yang Kai and Yang Kai flew over.
Li Wuyi turned to the various Army Commanders and said, “What’s the point of holding them? Return them and let Yang Kai take away the Demon Race they took in.”
The group of Army Commanders looked at each other but none of them moved. On the other hand, a few of the Army Commanders were smiling at Li Wuyi while others were staring at Yang Kai eagerly.
They had just experienced the benefits of the World Bead, so how could they be willing to return it now? They couldn’t wait to put it all away and never take it out again.
How could Yang Kai not know what they were thinking? He couldn’t help laughing, “Time is of the essence, so I can’t refine too many world bead. For the time being, there’s not enough, but when I have some free time in the future, I’ll refine more world beads. I’ll make sure every army commander has one.”
The group of people still did not move.
Since it wasn’t enough, there had to be a precedent. Everyone wanted to obtain the World Bead first.
“All of you aren’t young anymore, do you still have any shame?” Li Wuyi said with a straight face.
Seeing this, the Army Commanders reluctantly handed the World Bead to Yang Kai.
Each World Bead contained a large number of Demon Race cultivators that had just been collected. With a wave of his hand, Yang Kai transferred all of these Demon Race cultivators into the Mysterious Small World.
In the end, these World Beads had to be given to the various Army Commanders to use, so there naturally couldn’t be any remnants of the Demon Race inside.
When it was Bing Yun’s turn, Yang Kai raised his eyes and saw her looking at him with a faint smile.
Yang Kai coughed lightly and after transferring the Demon Race into the Mysterious Small World, he immediately returned the World Bead, “Senior, this is a token of my respect for you on behalf of Su Yan.”
Bing Yun said, “That’s not good, is it?” But she had already accepted it with a smile, so how could it be bad?
“This is how it should be!” Yang Kai nodded repeatedly.
“Boy, don’t forget which Elder you are from!” Wen Zishan handed over the World Bead in his hand, but he didn’t let go and just kept winking at Yang Kai.
Yang Kai sighed helplessly, “Temple Master, this World Bead is my contribution to the Temple.”
Wen Zishan laughed loudly, “A promising young man!”
