Touching the top of his head, he made a slight gesture and found that it wasn’t just his imagination, he had indeed grown a bit taller. It wasn’t much, only about 1 zhang, but this was already an incredible achievement.
The larger the Dragon Race’s physique, the harder it would be for them to improve. With his current height of 40 zhang, if he were to cultivate the Secret Technique Dragon Transformation normally, it would take him at least three to five years to grow another zhang, but now, he could easily reach this height after meditating in this ancient battlefield for three months.
It wasn’t even deliberate.
Could it be that Martial Dao True Intent also had the effect of enhancing the Dragon Race’s bloodline? It wasn’t impossible. The masters of these two forces were both peak masters, so the Martial Dao True Intent contained within them was something even the current Demon Saint and Great Emperor could not fathom, so it was only natural that they would have some kind of special effect.
Perhaps it had something to do with the tempering of these two forces. These two forces used Yang Kai’s physical body as a vessel to resist each other, allowing Yang Kai to use a transcendent feeling to comprehend the mysteries contained within them. By preserving these memories in his physical body, it would naturally allow his bloodline to develop and improve.
This was a good thing. Yang Kai smiled happily and continued forward.
This time, he walked a full 1500 zhang before reaching his limit.
Although the deeper he went, the stronger the two forces became, the hardships Yang Kai had suffered before were not for nothing. Three months of cultivation had allowed him to grow and naturally he could go further.
While Yang Kai was focused on cultivating in the Ancient Battlefield, a great battle had broken out in Vast Wave City.
Receiving Li Wuyi’s orders, Sixth Stem Army, Bing Chen’s army, Wu Yin’s army, Jia Hai’s army, Yi Wu’s army all sent out millions of people to attack Vast Wave City.
Inside Vast Wave City’s Demon Land, the Demon Race waited solemnly. Both sides had been fighting for several days on the Demon Land, and both sides had suffered heavy losses. On the battlefield, corpses and rivers of blood were everywhere.
In the end, the Demon Race couldn’t hold on any longer and suffered a crushing defeat. The Sixth Stem Army took the lead and rushed to within thirty kilometers of the tall Demon Pagoda.
However, by this time, the Demon Race had already set up a golden defensive barrier around the Demon Pagoda, and countless Demon Race cultivators were desperately trying to resist the attacks of the Star Boundary's army, determined to defend the giant Demon Pagoda.
A majestic palace flew out from behind them. On the jade platform of the palace, Yang Xiao and Yang Xue stood side by side as a gust of wind blew towards them from high up in the sky. Their robes fluttered as they both formed hand seals, causing the palace to crash towards the giant Demon Pagoda.
The Passing of Time Temple was a great gift left behind by the Passing of Time Great Emperor for his successor. This temple was not just a simple palace, but also an incredible treasure.
With the power of the Divine Temple, Yang Xiao and Yang Xue prepared to charge straight into the Demon Pagoda. The distance between the giant palace and the Demon Pagoda rapidly shortened, and all the Demon Race cultivators in their path were smashed into dust.
Countless attacks came from all directions, but all of them were blocked by a barrier of light that surrounded the palace. The barrier was tenacious and it only caused a few ripples, allowing Yang Xiao and Yang Xue to remain unharmed.
The palace of the Passing of Time Great Emperor, even if the two little brats could only use a portion of its power, it was still not something that ordinary attacks could break.
Seeing this, three Demon Race Half-Saints immediately flew up into the sky and rushed towards the Divine Temple. Before the Divine Temple could even get close, all of them had already begun attacking.
From the temple, two figures rushed out.
One big, one small, one old and one young.
With Yang Xiao and Yang Xue here, how could Qiong Qi and Liu Yan not be present?
With the roar of a beast and the cry of a phoenix, Qiong Qi and Liu Yan faced the three Half-Saints, and as soon as they clashed, the world seemed to collapse. Qiong Qi was a veteran Holy Spirit, and in this world, amongst all the Half-Saint, Pseudo Emperor, and Holy Spirits, only Li Wuyi could suppress him, so no one else was worthy of his attention.
In a one-on-one fight, no Half-Saint was his opponent.
However, Liu Yan was still a bit lacking. Although she had obtained the Phoenix True Fire and had already been promoted to a Holy Spirit, she had only cultivated for a short period of time after all. The existence of a Holy Spirit required time to accumulate strength. She might be stronger than a Third Order Emperor Realm master, but she had no chance of winning against a Half Saint.
As such, even with Qiong Qi by her side and fighting against the three Demon Race Half-Saints, she was instantly at a disadvantage.
Fortunately, they didn’t have to fight to the death with the Demon Race, so the two only needed to delay for a while.
The Passing of Time Temple flew forward, the three Demon Race Half Saints were stopped, and the other Half-Saints also had their own opponents, no longer having any decent strength to stop it.
The noisy battlefield seemed to quiet down at this moment, and the entire world seemed to freeze. Under the gaze of millions of people, the Passing of Time Temple crashed into the pitch-black Demon Pagoda.
Yang Xiao and Yang Xue, who were standing on the steps of the Divine Temple, were the first to fall, their faces turning pale as they spat out a mouthful of blood.
The next moment, a thunderous explosion rang out as the light barrier outside the temple suddenly caved in, but it did not shatter.
A halo of light spread out in all directions.
The Demon Pagoda shook slightly before quickly recovering.
Seeing that the Demon Pagoda was safe and sound, the Half Saints of the Demon Race breathed a sigh of relief, but they didn’t care about their injuries as they rushed towards the Demon Pagoda. They would rather be hit by their opponent’s attack to defend it.
Seeing this scene, how could everyone not know how important this Demon Pagoda was to the Demon Race? When this Demon Pagoda first appeared, no one in the Star Boundary knew what this Demon Pagoda was for, so they didn’t pay much attention to it. By the time they noticed it, it had already taken shape.
Li Wuyi faintly guessed that this thing would be of great use to the Demon Race, so he had the Five legions try to attack it to see if they could destroy the Demon Pagoda here.
Now that they had tested it out, they realized that the importance of this Demon Pagoda to the Demon Race far exceeded their expectations.
The Half-Saints had actually disregarded their own safety to protect the Demon Pagoda, so how could the many Pseudo Emperors possibly allow this to happen? All of them chased after the Demon Pagoda, causing even more damage to their enemies.
Inside the Divine Temple, Yang Xiao and Yang Xue glanced at each other, their minds connected, and without any further discussion, Yang Xiao quickly changed his hand seal, causing the Divine Temple to retreat at an extremely fast speed, covering more than ten kilometers in the blink of an eye.
His hand seals changed again and the Divine Temple once again crashed towards the Demon Pagoda.
Although the collision just now hadn’t destroyed the Demon Pagoda, it wasn’t completely ineffective. Yang Xiao understood better than anyone else that although the Demon Pagoda was sturdy, it definitely wouldn’t be able to withstand three collisions with the Divine Temple. As long as it was beaten three times, the two of them were confident they could completely destroy the Demon Pagoda. At that time, no matter what tricks the Demon Race had up their sleeves, they would be helpless.
Another loud bang rang out!
The Demon Pagoda trembled for a moment as if it was about to collapse, but in the end, it managed to stabilize itself. Seeing this, the Half Saints on the battlefield didn’t hesitate to use their Life Force and Secret Technique to madly increase their strength, wanting to quickly escape from their opponents and stop Yang Xiao and Yang Xue.
It wasn’t just the Half Saints, but the Demon Kings as well.
For a time, the already intense battlefield became even more chaotic.
The strength of the Sixth Stem Army was displayed at this moment. There were always benefits to having so many masters. Facing the counterattacks of so many Demon Race masters, it was actually able to maintain the situation and not allow any Demon Race to disturb Yang Xiao and yang Xue.
The Passing of Time Temple smashed towards the Demon Pagoda for the third time. Yang Xiao and Yang Xue's two small faces were as pale as paper, but their eyes were filled with determination. Suddenly, a halo circulated around the Demon Pagoda, and as energy gathered, a giant vortex appeared in front of it.
Standing atop the Divine Temple, Yang Xiao and Yang Xue couldn’t help narrowing their eyes when they saw this scene. Although they didn’t know what kind of ghost thing this vortex was, they knew that victory and defeat would be decided in one fell swoop, so they didn’t hold back their strength.
A slender jade foot stepped out from the vortex, and soon after, a graceful figure appeared in the air, her skin as white as jade, and a pair of exquisite wings on her back.
Buzz…
As her jade-like feet landed, the world seemed to tremble for a moment.
Yang Xiao was stunned for a moment before his expression changed drastically as he cried out, “Fu Yu!”
There were now three Demon Saints in the Star Boundary, each of whom was famous. Even if Yang Xiao had not observed them up close, he had seen them from afar in the Western Regions. What’s more, the characteristics of the Feather Demon Race were so obvious, how could he not recognize them?
Why was she here? How could she appear here?
Wasn’t she supposed to be stationed in the Demon Land of the Eastern Region? The Eastern Region was hundreds of millions of kilometers away from here. Even if she was a Demon Saint, it would take her at least a few days to fly here, so there was no reason for her to suddenly appear here.
Thinking back to the scene just now, Yang Xiao’s heart skipped a beat. That Demon Pagoda… could it have the effect of a Cross Domain Space Array? This was the only explanation for the current situation.
As soon as Fu Yu appeared, many masters from the Star Boundary’s forces changed their expressions, Yao Si took out a Space Spirit Bead to inform the two Dragon Race Elders.
He didn’t go into battle to kill the enemy, not because he was afraid of death, but because now that the Five Legions had come out in full force, someone had to be in charge of the overall situation. The other Commanders were all Pseudo Emperor masters, so naturally they had to go into battle to restrain the enemy Half Saint. He was the weakest, but coordinating with the rest of the army wasn’t a problem, so Bing Yun and the others handed over the command of the allied forces to him.
In fact, he had done a good job. It was all thanks to his strategy that Yang Xiao and Yang Xue had been able to create such an opportunity.
However, this third collision was like kicking an iron plate.
Just as Yao Si was about to send a message to the Dragon Race’s Elder, Fu Yu crystal-like eyes glanced over at Yang Xiao and Yang Xue indifferently, as if she was looking at two insignificant ants.
However, when she looked at the Passing of Time Temple again, her expression finally changed slightly and she let out a soft gasp, obviously seeing how extraordinary it was.
The distance between them rapidly shortened, and after experiencing the initial shock, Yang Xiao and Yang Xue didn’t retreat, instead focusing even more on pushing the Divine Temple forward.
It was because both of them knew that in front of a Demon Saint, there was no chance to escape. If they were to fight to the death, they might be able to reap some benefits.
