When the World Entrance opened for the second time, ten Demon Race's Demon Saints come across the border and left, the Great Emperor followed closely.
A few days later, a sudden change occurred. The millions of strong Demon Race army lost their minds and began killing each other. At the same time, the Great Emperor and Demon Saint disappeared.
On the same day, in different locations of the four Star Boundary regions, there were signs of the connection between the two worlds. The Star Boundary was corroded by the Demon Territory, the World Barrier shattered, and a vast expanse of Scenic Mountains and Rivers transformed into Demon Land.
The great armies of the Demon Race crossed over from different Demon Land and gradually spread out to engulf the Star Boundary.
The Star Boundary was in chaos!
When Yang Kai sealed the world entrance, the various Army Commanders had received information that more than thirty Demon Land had been born in the four Star Boundary regions and were scattered throughout the world. This was only a short period of time, so the number of Demon Land that had been discovered was likely to be even higher.
The jade slip that the Lian Sisters had handed over to Yang Kai explained everything.
Because of the urgency of the situation, Li Wuyi and the various Army Commanders couldn’t wait any longer, leaving behind a jade slip explaining the situation before leaving. Most of the Demon Race’s Half Saints had been taken away by him, leaving behind only the Lian Sisters who were familiar with Yang Kai.
Yang Kai finished reading the contents of the jade slip, but before he could digest this shocking piece of information, a Space Spirit Bead on his wrist suddenly flashed and a jade slip appeared.
The jade slip contained Bian Yuqing’s aura, so it was obvious that she had sent message from High Heaven Palace.
This time, when the sixth stem army set out for the Western Regions, almost everyone in High Heaven Palace who had a decent cultivation had been taken away by Yang Kai, but in such a large Sect, there had to be someone left behind to guard it. Bian Yuqing was the one he had left behind to guard the Sect.
Now that Bian Yuqing had sent a message, there was no doubt that something had happened at High Heaven Palace.
Yang Kai stretched out his hand and grabbed it, probing it with his Divine Sense. In the next moment, his face became ashen, “Courting death!”
Crushing the jade slip, Yang Kai’s figure flickered as he tried to return to the sixth stem army camp, but to his surprise, his vision went dark and he nearly fell to the ground.
Just now, in order to seal the world entrance, he had expended a great deal of effort. At this moment, the Demonic Qi in his body was somewhat unstable, and Bai Lian quickly caught him.
Yang Kai glanced at the two sisters and said solemnly, “Take me back to the camp!”
The Lian Sisters nodded and simultaneously circulated their Demonic Qi, transforming into a streak of black light as they flew towards the sixth stem army camp.
On the other hand, Yang Kai quickly swallowed a Spirit Pill and circulated his Qi to neutralize the effects of the pill, quickly restoring himself.
After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the Lian Sisters carrying him appeared in front of Yang Kai’s army camp.
The various garrison's chief immediately surrounded him and Yao Si asked solemnly, “Sir, what happened? Why did the other armies withdraw?”
At this moment, all 55 Star Boundary forces had disappeared, leaving behind only the sixth stem army, who was still standing guard, so none of them knew what had happened.
Yang Kai raised his hand and tossed over the jade slip Li Wuyi had given him, “See for yourself. Inform each other and pass on my orders to gather all forces and return to the Northern Domain!”
Yang Xiao received the order and immediately passed it down to the rest of the army.
A moment later, Yao Si handed the jade slip to Xie Wuwei with a solemn expression and stared at Yang Kai in disbelief, “Sir, is this true?”
“How could it be fake? In addition, Protector Bian has sent word that the Demon Land three thousand kilometers from High Heaven Palace has appeared and a large number of Demons are attacking High Heaven Palace!”
Hearing this, everyone became anxious.
Yang Kai raised his hand and summoned the Mysterious Boundary Bead, transforming it into a giant body and biting down fiercely. The sixth stem army was swallowed, and since they had experienced this before, no one panicked. Even if Yang Kai didn’t warn them, no one resisted.
Yang Kai turned his head to look at Yao Si and pondered for a moment before saying, “The Great Emperors have disappeared.”
This matter couldn’t be concealed, and sooner or later it would spread to the entire world. Since it couldn’t be concealed, he could only tell the truth. As for Yao Si, as the Great Emperor’s son, should know about this.
Yao Si turned to look at him with a blank expression, obviously unable to understand what Yang Kai meant.
Yang Kai sighed, “Not long ago, the auras of the Great Emperors disappeared. Army's General Li and I both tried, but the Space Spirit Bead was unable to teleport to the Great Emperors side. They are no longer in this world.”
Yao Si’s face paled as he couldn’t believe his eyes.
Yang Kai patted him on the shoulder and said, “The Great Emperors’ achievements are extraordinary, their eyes and hands can see through the sky, so there shouldn’t be any danger to their lives. Perhaps some kind of accident occurred.”
Yao Si nodded blankly.
When the sixth stem army had set out, there had been more than three hundred thousand people, but at this moment, more than fifty thousand had been lost. These fifty thousand people had all died on the battlefield, their blood dyeing the Western Regions red. However, this loss was still acceptable compare to the Demon Race and other armies.
A moment later, all of the Sixth Stem Army had been drawn into the Mysterious Small World. Yang Kai put away the Mysterious Small World, stepped forward, and disappeared.
When he reappeared, he was already on High Heaven Peak, inside his own palace.
Inside the palace, he had left behind the Space Spirit Bead so he could naturally return quickly.
As soon as he appeared, he felt the earth shake and the mountains tremble, and the rumbling sounds continued without stopping. He flashed out of the door and saw that High Heaven Palace was in a state of chaos, with streams of light fleeing between the various peaks like headless flies.
Looking up, Yang Kai saw that High Heaven Palace’s Sect Protection Array had already been activated, and the Spirit Peaks were surrounded by a white light. The Great Array was absorbing the power of the Earth Vein and Spirit Peaks, transforming them into a protective light barrier to block any invaders.
Seeing this, Yang Kai let out a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that when he returned, he would see the Great Array being broken. If so, who knew how many people would die in High Heaven Palace.
High Heaven Sect and its Branch Sect had a total of a hundred thousand disciples, but all of them with a bit of cultivation had been sent to the sixth stem army. During the expedition, other than Bian Yuqing, who had a slightly higher cultivation, High Heaven Sect’s disciples were nothing. Once the Great Array was broken, they would definitely not be unable to fight back the Demon Race.
Fortunately, High Heaven Palace’s Sect Protection Array was personally set up by Nanmen Dajun, and Yang Kai had spared no effort in setting it up back then, asking for people, materials, and strengthen the formation.
Although the Demon Race’s army had attacked aggressively, they were unable to break through the protection of the Spirit Array in a short time.
Although it was not broken, at this moment, the Sect Protective Array was on the verge of collapse. The protective light curtain was filled with cracks, and it would likely collapse in less than an incense stick of time.
When the Demon Race army saw this, their attacks became even fiercer.
Bian Yuqing held the Palace Master’s Token in her hand and mobilized the Spirit Qi of High Heaven Palace’s various Spirit Peaks to continuously enhance the power of the Great Array, doing her best to delay it, but her cultivation was still a bit low, so using the Palace Master’s Token with all her might had caused her to be drenched in sweat, her face as pale as paper, her body swaying in the air as if she could faint at any moment.
Seeing this, Yang Kai stepped towards her.
Halfway up the road, a man suddenly flew over and was grabbed by the neck by Yang Kai. Looking over coldly, Yang Kai saw that this man was quite unfamiliar. Although his cultivation wasn’t strong, he was at least a Third Order Principle Source Stage.
High Heaven Palace’s disciples and those above the Void King Realm had all been taken away by him, so how could there still be any Principle Source Stage cultivators left? However, High Heaven Palace was the Star Boundary's Alchemy Base, so there were still many outsiders.
This person was obviously an outsider. There was also a faint pill fragrance on his body, so he should be an Alchemist.
“Don’t panic!” Yang Kai shouted.
The man’s face was pale and he didn’t even know how to resist after being captured. He was undoubtedly frightened out of his wits, so when he heard Yang Kai’s words, he instinctively replied, “Run, High Heaven Palace can’t hold on any longer, if you don’t run, it’ll be too late.”
“Bullshit!” Yang Kai was furious, “The enemy is right in front of you, yet you don’t even think about killing them, instead causing chaos in the people hearts. You should be glad you’re not in my sixth stem army, otherwise I would have killed you.”
Hearing this, the Alchemist looked up at Yang Kai and recognized him, “Yang… Palace Master Yang!”
“Scram!” Yang Kai casually tossed him aside, not bothering to waste any time with him, taking a step forward and arriving beside Bian Yuqing.
Bian Yuqing was struggling to hold on, but when she suddenly noticed someone approaching, she couldn’t help being shocked. Turning her head, she was overjoyed, “Palace Master!”
Yang Kai nodded, “Take a rest!”
As he spoke, he waved his hand and Hua Qingsi appeared. Yang Kai ordered, “Receive the Palace Master’s Token and hold on for a moment longer.”
Hearing this, Hua Qingsi nodded and received the Palace Master’s Token from Bian Yuqing before continuing to maintain the array.
On the other hand, Bian Yuqing had long since reached the end of her strength, and the only reason she was still holding on was because of her conviction. Now that Yang Kai had appeared, Hua Qingsi also took the Token, so she can relax her mind, immediately falling into a deep sleep and falling to the ground.
Yang Kai stretched out his hand and placed her into the Mysterious Small World's Medicine Garden, instructing the two little wood spirits to take good care of her. Bian Yuqing was only exhausted and there was no danger to her life. She only needed to rest for a while to recover, so Yang Kai wasn’t worried.
A person flew over from below and when he got close, he saw that it was Ji Ying. Looking at Yang Kai with a terrified expression, he asked, “Brother Yang, what… what is going on? Where did these Demons come from? Also, why can’t I contact Honored Master?”
The sudden appearance of the Demon Race and the sudden attack on High Heaven Palace made Ji Ying feel that something was wrong, so he immediately sent a message to Wondrous Pill Great Emperor to ask about the situation. However, he was unable to contact the Wondrous Pill Great Emperor and couldn’t even send out a communication jade slip, something he had never encountered before.
Yang Kai replied, “The situation is a bit complicated. I’ll explain it to Brother Ji after I resolve this crisis.”
Raising his hand again, three figures were summoned from the Mysterious Small World. They were Qiong Qi, Yang Xiao, and Yang Xue.
“Old Qiong, escort Xiao’er to Dragon Island and inform the two Elders about this matter, requesting Great Elder and Second Elder to leave the island and take charge!”
This was Li Wuyi’s arrangement, and it was mentioned in the jade slip. Li Wuyi also knew that Yang Kai had a deep relationship with Dragon Island, so if he were to ask, Dragon Island would definitely not ignore him.
Now that the Great Emperors had all disappeared, it was unknown what the situation with the Demon Saints was. If the Demon Saints were still in the Star Boundary, the only ones in the world who could contend with them were the two Elders from Dragon Island.
However, the Dragon Race adhered to their ancestral teachings and never left the island easily. Ordinary Dragon Race cultivators were nothing, but the Great Elder and Second Elder had not come out for tens of thousands of years. Last time, Second Elder, Fu Zhun, was worried about Yang Xiao, so she had come out.
Whether he could invite them or not, Li Wuyi wasn’t sure, so he could only leave it to Yang Kai.
