The gap in the semi-circle was flat, as if someone had used a sharp weapon to cut it, making the top of the mountain look like an inverted crescent.
Ying Fei and Fu Ling were both stunned, not knowing how Yang Kai had done it.
With Yang Kai’s ability, it wouldn’t have been surprising if he had destroyed the mountain, but to create a semi-circular gap in the mountain was quite puzzling.
“Sir, can we leave this place first? If we’re too late… I’m afraid we won’t be able to hold on for much longer,” Yuan Wenlong looked at the several hundred survivors of Water Cloud Sect with a worried expression.
These several hundred people’s strengths weren’t anything special. After being captured by the Demon Race and having their cultivations sealed, they had been in this Demon Land for several days and had been suffering from some kind of discomfort. At this moment, most of them were breathing heavily, their bodies faintly emitting a violent and evil aura.
The Demonic Qi in the Demon Land was constantly eroding their minds. This process wasn’t fast, but it wasn’t slow either. After experiencing such a great battle just now, these hundreds of people’s minds had been stirred and the rate at which they were being eroded by the Demonic Qi had increased. If they were to stay here any longer, most of them would fall into the Demonic Path and become a Demon.
This was why Yuan Wenlong wanted to quickly take them away from here.
Seeing this, Yang Kai naturally understood his worries and nodded, “Relax, don’t resist!”
With a wave of his hand, he sent out his Divine Sense and sent these hundreds of people into the Mysterious Small World.
A moment later, three figures soared into the sky. In the sky, the passage connecting the two worlds had been sealed by Yang Kai, but the black dot and Demon Land could not be eliminated.
The situation was exactly the same as he had encountered in the Western Regions a few days ago, causing Yang Kai to feel somewhat uneasy.
The Demon Race fleeing from Water Cloud Sect didn’t even take five days before they were surrounded and killed by the Sixth Stem Army. If hundreds of thousands of people gathered together, they might be able to put up a fight against the Sixth Stem Army, but if they scattered, they would only give the Sixth Stem Army a chance to defeat them one by one.
Without encountering any decent resistance, the hundreds of thousands of Demon Race cultivators were all killed, not even a single fish escaped.
The army didn’t stop and continued to split up into two groups, crossing each other as they advanced towards the depths of the Northern Region, slaughtering their way through. There were more than a dozen World Entrances sealed by Yang Kai.
The Sixth Stem Army was strong and powerful, rarely encountering worthy enemy. Only a Half-Saint would be able to stop the Sixth Stem Army attacks. In some places, there were even more than one Half-Saint, which was quite a headache.
At the same time, in the Eastern Region, the Southern Region, and even the Western Region, the 55 Star Boundary army had transformed into 55 steel blades and was galloping across the entire Star Boundary. Almost every day, a large-scale battle broke out and the Human Race and Demon Race suffered heavy casualties. Countless cities, sects, and billions of living beings were wiped out.
Half a month later, the situation of the entire Star Boundary had been discovered.
Currently, in the Star Boundary, there were a total of one hundred and eight such ink-like existences! On average, they were scattered throughout the four regions of Star Boundary, and the total number of them was the same as the number of Heavenly Stems, which was quite alarming.
There was still no news from the Great Emperors.
However, the Star Boundary side had also found out that the Demon Saint had also disappeared.
When the ten Demon Saints had crossed over from the Demon Territory, the seven Great Emperors, along with Yu Rumeng and the others, had split up to chase after them. As they fought, the commotion they caused was so great that it was almost impossible to not notice. The scene of the Heaven and Earth collapsing and the giant hand reaching out from the crack was witnessed by many people.
As such, as long as they made some inquiries, they would be able to find out what had happened that day.
Even the Great Emperors and Demon Saints had been captured by a giant hand. No one would believe such a thing. Li Wuyi secretly guessed that this giant hand was not some kind of Divine Ability. In this world, no one had ever been able to accomplish such a feat. It was likely that the Demon Saints had secretly arranged some kind of method in the Demon Territory to activate it when the crack opened.
This guess was quite reasonable. Originally, everyone had been worried about the disappearance of the Great Emperor, but now that they learned that even the Demon Saints had gone missing, everyone felt somewhat relieved.
Everyone was afraid that the Great Emperors would go missing while the Demon Saints would remain in this world. If that was the case, no one in the Star Boundary would be able to compete with the Demon Saints. No matter how powerful the 55 Legions were, they would probably be wiped out one day.
The black dot in the sky was huge, and one could vaguely see a black halo fluctuating outwards. Every time it fluctuated, the black dot would expand slightly, making it difficult to detect anything for a short time, but if this continued for a long time, the entire North Region would be swallowed by this black dot.
Under this black dot, the surrounding three hundred thousand kilometers was filled with Demon Land.
On the periphery of the Demon Land, nearly a million soldiers were stationed, their tents stretched out endlessly.
Thinking back, when the 55 Legions had gathered in the Western Region, they had been so high-spirited that they had only needed to wait for the right time to open the passage between the two worlds to deal a heavy blow to the Demon Race.
It was a direct blow, but the passage between the two worlds had been opened by the Demon Race. The Demon Race had suffered more than twenty million casualties in the Western Domain Battlefield, so their losses were quite heavy. However, the Demon Race’s corpses had been dispersed with Demonic Qi and were divided into various parts of the Star Boundary. With the support of some kind of power, a hundred and eight passageways had been opened in the Star Boundary, bringing about an unimaginable disaster.
At the time, no one had expected that the war would develop in such a way. The Heaven’s Will was playing tricks on them, and the Star Boundary was filled with flames of war.
It had been more than a month since the incident in the Western Region. During this month, the Sixth Stem Army had fought across the Northern Domain, but not only had their numbers not decreased, they had actually increased by a lot. Now, there were already three hundred and fifty thousand people.
When Li Wuyi had issued a recruitment letter to the entire Star Boundary, most of the cultivators had the same idea as Water Cloud Sect, not putting their lives on the line and only thinking that if the sky fell, there would be someone to hold it up. The Western Region was far away, so no matter how much war there was, it wouldn’t affect them, so they simply ignored the recruitment letter.
But now, the methods of the Demon Race had shattered their fantasies. Countless people had lost their wives and children in the past month, their families had been destroyed, their Sects had been destroyed, their families had been slaughtered, and those who had survived had all been scared out of their wits and fled for their lives. There were even some who had taken the initiative to join the various armies and kill their enemies.
This was how the Sixth Stem Army had expanded.
However, the Sixth Stem Army selection process was very strict, so even though it had many requests to join, it only took in a few tens of thousands of people to supplement the expenditure.
Yang Kai’s Mysterious Small World was already crowded.
The space in the Mysterious Small World's First Territory was limited to begin with. Along the way, they had collected tens of millions of people who had fled, so there was no way they could store any more. Currently, in the entire Mysterious Small World, other than the one acre of land where the Medicine Garden was located, everything else was packed.
The Second Territory had already been stripped away, the remaining Third Territory was quite spacious and could accommodate as many people as possible, but the key was that the Third Territory was formed by devouring the Demon Territory Continent and was considered the second Demon Territory that had yet to take form. How could the people of the Star Boundary survive in it?
If they were really placed inside, it wouldn’t be long before they would be corroded by the Demonic Qi and become a Demon.
The Mysterious Small World could no longer contain them, so if they encountered any more fleeing people, they could only give them directions to escape to High Heaven Palace. As for whether they lived or died along the way, no one could care less.
War had always been cruel.
Sixth Stem Army hadn’t expanded much, but Bing Yun’s Bing Chen Army had expanded to more than six hundred thousand people at one time. The Bing Chen Army’s foundation wasn’t as solid as the Sixth Stem Army, and every time they encountered a Demon Race, many of them would suffer heavy casualties, so they naturally needed to expand. As long as they had the intention to fight, Bing Chen Army would gladly accept them.
Whether it was the Sixth Stem Army or Bing Chen’s army, both of them were from the North Region. After the change in the Western Region, both of them had returned to the North Region. For the past month or so, Bing Chen’s army had been like the Sixth Stem Army, fighting all over the North Region.
Five days ago, the two armies met outside Vast Wave City.
Vast Wave City was a small city. It was rumored that in the past, an Emperor Realm master had come here and spread his branches and leaves, attracting all living beings from all over the world to form this city. Because the Emperor’s name contained Vast Wave, the city was named after him. However, this was a long time ago, so whether it was true or false was impossible to verify.
Vast Wave City was originally an unknown city in the vast North Region, with only a few hundred thousand inhabitants, the strongest of which was the Principle Source Stage. It didn’t even have an Emperor Realm, it was probably inferior to Maplewoods City.
However, this place was now quite famous. Demon Saint Huang Wuji and Iron Blood Great Emperor Zhan Wuhen had fought here and also disappeared.
When the Demon Saint and Great Emperor disappeared, the sky split open and a black dot appeared, turning Vast Vave City into a Demon Land. This place also became one of the 108 Demon Land.
Inside the Demon Land, there were nearly three million Demon Race soldiers stationed there. The Demon Race was densely packed, and with so many Demon Race cultivators gathered here, the world was filled with Demonic Qi and chaos.
Five days later, the two great armies of Sixth Stem Army, Bing Chen’s army, and the Demon Race had fought three times, all of which ended without success.
This Demon Land was somewhat different from the other Demon Land Yang Kai had recently encountered. The Demon Race seemed to place a great deal of importance on it. Not only were there three million Demon Race troops stationed here, but there were also five Half-Saint masters.
Yang Kai also had many masters under him, including Wind Chaser, his Embodiment, Bai Zhuo, and Bai Ya. He also had four, and his combat strength was almost equivalent to a Half-Saint.
What’s more, Bing Yun was a Pseudo Emperor.
In terms of the number of Half-Saints, the two armies were not inferior to the Demon Race, but the disadvantage was in the number of people they had.
Although the million strong army was not small, the Demon Race had more than three times their own strength, and the Demon Race refused to let go the Demon Land. The Demonic Qi that filled the Demon Land also affected the combat strength of ordinary cultivators, while the Demon Race was like a fish in water.
During the first confrontation, both sides fought for an entire day and night, and within a radius of three hundred thousand kilometres, the corpses of both sides clansmen could be seen everywhere.
The million strong army was also reduced by more than a hundred thousand.
Seeing that their Bloodlust Art was about to fail, Yang Kai and Bing Yun could only retreat helplessly.
That night, Yang Kai took Bing Yun and all his Half-Saints to the Mysterious Small World and infiltrated the Demon Race’s main camp single-handedly. As long as he could get rid of the five Half-Saints from the Demon Race’s side, even if there were many of them left, they wouldn’t amount to much.
