Having narrowly escaped death, Yang Kai’s face was pale as he felt a sticky sensation under his nose. Lifting his hand, he discovered that his palm was covered in blood.
Although he had successfully escaped, when he thought back to his previous experience, he couldn’t help feeling a lingering fear. There was only one question in his heart: Who was the one who fought the Passing of Time Great Emperor in that life and death battle? It should be known that the Passing of Time Great Emperor had stood at the pinnacle of the entire Star Boundary, and even other Great Emperors could only look up to him. Just like the Heaven Devourer Great Emperor Wu Kuang and the Great Emperor of the same era.
An opponent who could fight him to the death must be at the same level.
Could it be the legendary Great Demon God?
Yang Kai’s brow wrinkled. The first time he had heard of the Great Demon God was in the Thousand Illusion Dream World, he had followed the Barbarian Race to conquer the north and south, fighting a life and death battle with the Demon Race. At the last moment, the Evergreen Divine Tree had sacrificed itself to seal the gap between the two worlds, and from that gap, a shocking giant palm had struck out, nearly causing Senior Qing to fail.
Everything in the Thousand Illusion Dream World was an illusion created from the true events of various eras. In the ancient era, the Barbarian Race and Demon Race war truly existed, but the process was definitely different from what Yang Kai had experienced. However, since the Thousand Illusion Dream World had the power of the Great Demon God’s palm, it meant that the Great Demon God really did exist.
Later on, Yang Kai used his own trick to follow Yu Rumeng into the Demon Territory and asked her about the Great Demon God, but when he mentioned it, Yu Rumeng’s expression changed drastically and she told Yang Kai not to mention it again.
These three words seemed to be a taboo in the Demon Territory!
Later on, Yang Kai also forgot to inquire about the Great Demon God because after spending so many years in the Demon Territory, he had never heard anyone mention anything about the Great Demon God. Even the strongest people in the Demon Territory, the twelve Demon Saints and the Hundred Spirit Continent’s Master, Demon Dragon Chang Tian.
Only today did Yang Kai have some doubts.
If it was the Great Demon God who had fought with the Passing of Time Great Emperor back then, perhaps it would make sense.
However, judging from the current situation, the Passing of Time Great Emperor had died after that battle, and the Great Demon God had probably suffered a terrible fate. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have disappeared for so many years.
As these thoughts flashed through Yang Kai’s mind, a moment later, Yang Kai was startled again and carefully examined his own memories.
Although he had been staying in the Ancient Battlefield for the past ten days, immersed in his own thoughts, he had not paid much attention to his physical body, but his physical body was a unique existence that had its own ability to remember things. Just because he didn’t pay attention to it didn’t mean he wouldn’t be able to notice it afterwards. Ordinary people all had this ability, let alone Yang Kai who had successfully cultivated it.
Just now, he had been too excited to notice anything, but now he had inadvertently discovered something interesting. His Soul Avatar had spent more than ten days in the Ancient Battlefield, but his physical body had only spent less than an hour outside.
In other words, the flow of time in the Ancient Battlefield was many times faster than normal.
Yang Kai had experienced this kind of thing before, and not only had he experienced it before, Yang Xiao and Yang Xue had also benefited from it.
The two little brats had only been a few years old when they entered the Passing of Time Temple with Qiong Qi, but a few years later, when Yang Kai went to find them again, they had both grown up and reached the Emperor Realm. It was only later that he learned that the two little brats had been cultivating inside the Passing of Time Temple for several hundred years.
This was the legacy of the Passing of Time Great Emperor. Inside the Divine Temple, in a certain forbidden area, the power of time filled the air, causing the flow of time to be vastly different from that of the outside world. This allowed Yang Xiao and Yang Xue to spend several hundred years in a short period of time. Not only did they grow up, but their cultivation was also extraordinary.
However, the inheritance of the Great Emperor was not something that could last for a long time. Once it was exhausted, it would no longer exist. Even if Yang Xiao and Yang Xue had inherited the mantle of the passing of Time Great Emperor and obtained the Passing of Time Temple, it would still be difficult for them to achieve their former glory, unless the two of them could cultivate to the level of the Passing of Time Great Emperor and had extremely high attainments in the Dao of Time.
This was probably a gift the Passing of Time Great Emperor had specially left for his successor.
When Yang Kai first learned of this matter, while he felt happy for the two of them, he also felt envious.
He had only been cultivating for a little over a hundred years since his debut. If he was given a few more hundred years to cultivate, even if he didn’t dare to say anything else, the Pseudo Emperor Realm was a sure thing, he didn’t have any hope of becoming a Great Emperor. The Great Emperor Realm wasn’t something that could be broken through just by cultivating. There had to be another opportunity.
However, even if he was a Pseudo Emperor, it would still be of great help to the current situation. With his current High-Rank Demon King cultivation, he could fight with a Pseudo Emperor. If he really became a Pseudo Emperor, he would have the strength to fight a Demon Saint!
Never would he have thought that such a good thing would one day befall him.
Yang Kai didn’t know which continent he had swallowed before, but if he had known, he would have swallowed it no matter what. Now that more than a decade had passed, his strength had probably undergone a tremendous change.
For a moment, he was overjoyed.
This was not the only good thing. While his mind was in turmoil, he suddenly felt that his Soul had become more solid, and there was something else in his Knowledge Sea.
Previously, when he was in the Ancient Battlefield, his Soul Avatar had been used as a vessel to withstand the collisions of these two terrifying forces, causing him to feel so much pain that he wanted to die and his Soul had almost been shattered.
Fortunately, he had obtained the nourishment of the Soul Warming Lotus to avoid this calamity.
As the saying goes, if one survives a great catastrophe, good fortune will follow. Yang Kai had just tasted this sweetness.
His Soul had been damaged, but after being repaired by the Soul Warming Lotus, his Soul had become even more resilient, and the power of his Divine Sense had also increased significantly. Not to mention this, the power of the Soul Warming Lotus had cleansed his Knowledge Sea and washed away the hidden killing intent from the two forces Yang Kai’s Soul Avatar had brought in, leaving behind the purest form of energy. This energy contained the true intent of the Passing of Time Great Emperor and the Great Demon God.
This kind of Martial Dao True Intent was condensed from the essence of these two masters’s lifetime of cultivation. If it were any other time, Yang Kai would have needed to spend a great deal of effort to understand it, but the current situation was different. These two masters had long since died, and the pure Martial Dao True Intent they left in Yang Kai’s Knowledge Sea was equivalent to a kind of enlightenment.
All of these mysteries were laid bare before Yang Kai.
For example, if these two had a lychee in their hands and asked Yang Kai to eat it, even if Yang Kai held it in his hand, he would have to first peel off its shell to eat the fruit.
However, the existence of the Soul Warming Lotus had helped Yang Kai complete this task. Like a considerate maid, it stuffed the sweet fruit into his mouth and simply chewed and swallowed.
It was said that there was no such thing as a free lunch in the world, but Yang Kai had encountered it once.
Overjoyed, he couldn’t care less about the pain in his head as he quickly immersed himself in comprehending the Martial Dao True Intent left behind in his Knowledge Sea. This was something left behind by the Passing of Tiem Great Emperor and a suspected Great Demon God. If he could take it for himself, it would greatly enhance his strength.
However, after meditating for a short while, Yang Kai suddenly opened his eyes again, and with a thought, he connected to the Mysterious Small World. A tall figure appeared in front of him, with a pair of exquisite wings on her back. Who else could it be but Bo Ya?
“Sir!” Bo Ya cupped her fists.
Since the last time Bo Ya had been taken into the Mysterious Small World, Yang Kai had kept her there. She was now a Mid-Rank Demon King, and although her strength was not low, in the Sixth Stem Army, where there were as many masters as there were clouds, having her around was not a big deal, so Yang Kai had not allowed her to join the Sixth Stem Army. Moreover, this guy seemed to have some special hobbies, so Yang Kai didn’t want her to wander around his wives all day.
Yang Kai had left her in the Mysterious Small World because he wanted to save some people for himself, as well as to deal with unexpected situations. For example, right now, having someone he could use was much more convenient.
After greeting him, Bo Ya was shocked, “We’ve returned to the Demon Territory?”
Standing atop Gun Gun’s body, it was impossible to see the end of its giant body. As Gun Gun continued forward, the continent was swallowed up, a scene Bo Ya had seen many times.
“En,” Yang Kai nodded and handed her the Mysterious Boundary Bead, “Keep guard, if you need anything, just call me.”
Saying so, Yang Kai disappeared into the Mysterious Small World.
Before Bo Ya could say anything, Yang Kai had already disappeared, causing her to become extremely angry, thinking to herself, What can a mid-grade Demon King like me defend? This is the Demon Territory, if I encounter a Half-Saint or something, won’t I be dead? If it was before, it would have been fine, but now that I’m a traitor of the Demon Race, if I really fall into the hands of a Half-Saint, how could I have any good ending?
But soon, Bo Ya discovered that there was no life on this continent at all. The speed at which it was swallowing was extremely fast, covering a thousand kilometers in the blink of an eye, but there was not a single living creature.
She was puzzled. What was happening to this continent?
The reason why Yang Kai had given the Mysterious Boundary Bead to Bo Ya for safekeeping was naturally because Gun Gun had no intelligence and would only follow his own simple orders and instincts. Once this continent in front of him was completely devoured, he would have to move it to another continent. At this time, Yang Kai, who was in the Mysterious Small World, needed someone to remind him.
Bo Ya was the perfect candidate.
While Bo Ya was feeling distressed, Yang Kai had once again arrived at the Ancient Battlefield.
However, this time was different from the last time. Last time, it was just a wisp of spirit, but this time it was his main body.
Inside the Ancient Battlefield, since the flow of time was vastly different from the outside world, it was only natural to choose to cultivate inside so that he could improve faster and save time.
To him, what he needed the most right now was time. Although the cultivation of a High-Rank Demon King was not bad, it did not have the slightest advantage over a Half-Saint.
However, he had only been promoted to a High-Rank Demon King less than twenty years ago, so it would take him an unknown amount of time to reach the Half-Saint realm. The appearance of the Ancient Battlefield was undoubtedly a blessing in disguise.
