Using his Divine Sense, Yang Kai quickly discovered something he couldn’t see with his naked eyes.
The ten Demon Caves were connected to each other with the Demon Pagoda as their foundation, allowing the Demon Race’s army to quickly travel back and forth between them. Moreover, these ten Demon Pagodas seemed to be closely connected to each other. If one wanted to destroy one of these Demon Pagodas, they would need to destroy ten of them at the same time to have a chance. Although these Demon Pagodas were tall, it was unknown how they were constructed and were incomparably sturdy. No wonder even the two Dragon Race Elders were helpless against them.
Although the strength of the two Dragon Race Elders had greatly increased, if they were allowed to attack freely, they might be able to destroy the Demon Pagoda, but the Demon Saints were not dead. Once Zhu Yan and Fu Zhun did this, they would immediately rush over to rescue them.
Upon closer inspection, Yang Kai soon discovered that not only were there ten Demon Pagodas connected to each other, but there were also other auras.
Counting them carefully, there were a hundred and eight of them.
Yang Kai suddenly remembered the one hundred and eight Demon Caves in the Star Boundary. Back then, one hundred and eight Demon Caves had appeared in the Star Boundary, but other than those ten Demon Caves, the remaining ninety-eight Demon Caves had either been wiped out by the Star Boundary Army or abandoned.
However, the Demon Cave and the corroded Demon Land were still preserved, and the World Laws of the Star Boundary were unable to repair them.
This number had already caused many masters from the Star Boundary to be secretly vigilant. After all, the number 108 was the same as the number of Heavenly Stem, making it seem like the Demon Race had some kind of scheme up their sleeves.
Now it seemed that there was indeed a scheme.
Now, the Demon Race had used some kind of unknown method to use these 108 Demon Caves as the foundation of their Spirit Array to secretly lay down an astonishing Great Array that could swallow up the entire Star Boundary.
This move had been arranged by the Demon Race when the Second World War broke out, and it had only been activated today.
According to Yang Kai’s observations, the hundred and eight Demon Caves in the Star Boundary were rapidly expanding at an astonishing rate. Every moment, large swaths of the Star Boundary’s land would be transformed into Demon Land and the Spirituality would be lost.
The only thing Yang Kai couldn’t understand was that since the foundation of this Great Array had been laid down several years ago, why had the Demon Race waited until today to activate it?
What exactly was missing that had caused the Demon Race to endure for so many years?
As Yang Kai’s Divine Sense probed further, he suddenly saw a shocking scene flash across his mind before quickly disappearing.
Yang Kai suddenly opened his eyes, his face filled with shock, “Damn it!”
Reaching out with his hand, Yang Kai grabbed the Azure Dragon Spear and without any warning, he flew straight towards the towering Demon Pagoda.
The surrounding Demon Race Half-Saints were shocked, none of them having expected Yang Kai to act so violently. When he acted, the Bone Demon Half-Saint shouted, “Stop him!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the Half-Saints all attacked simultaneously, sending out numerous Demon Artifact and Secret Technique towards Yang Kai.
Although Yang Kai’s figure was as large as a small mountain, he was strangely agile and evaded several terrifying attacks in a flash, arriving in front of the Demon Pagoda in the blink of an eye.
Under the shocked gazes of the few Half-Saints, Yang Kai gathered all his strength into his spear and thrust it forward. On the tip of the spear, a giant black ball with a radius of more than a dozen meters appeared. Inside this black ball, the Space Laws were violent and chaotic, as if it was a crack in the void.
Boom!
The towering Demon Pagoda shook violently as the black ball rapidly shrank, causing the world to collapse around it.
Crack! Crack! The Demon Pagoda let out a terrifying sound.
A fierce attack landed on Yang Kai’s shoulder, and with a great force, Yang Kai’s massive body flew out, his eyes still wide as he stared at the Demon Pagoda’s movements.
The huge black ball suddenly shrank into a small black dot and disappeared in a flash. At the same time, a huge circular hole appeared where the Demon Pagoda had been struck, almost cutting it in half.
After suffering such a heavy blow, the Demon Pagoda became extremely unstable and swayed a few times before tilting to the ground with a creaking sound.
The Half-Saints were all shocked, their bodies and minds trembling. None of them had expected Yang Kai’s attack to be so fierce, causing the Demon Pagoda to undergo such a drastic change.
The Demon Pagoda was the key to the Demon Race’s current plan. If the Demon Pagoda was destroyed, how could the Demon Saints spare them?
Yang Kai’s brow wrinkled as he watched the Demon Pagoda fall, but he didn’t feel any joy in his heart. On the contrary, he felt that something was wrong. Although his current strength was strong, it was only comparable to a Half-Saint’s, his full-powered spear attack had indeed displayed 120% of its power. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been unable to avoid the enemy’s attack.
But could such an attack really destroy the Demon Pagoda?
According to what he knew, it wasn’t that the two Dragon Clan Elders had never thought about attacking the Demon Pagoda, but even if the two Great Elders joined forces, they wouldn’t be able to do anything to it in a short time.
Yang Kai was definitely no match for Zhu Yan and Fu Zhun. If even they couldn’t do anything, how could he?
However, the Demon Pagoda was indeed on the verge of collapse, and under his watchful eyes, it only lasted for a dozen breaths before collapsing.
The earth trembled and dust flew everywhere.
The Half-Saints hands and feet went cold, their faces as pale as paper.
On the other side, Yang Kai closed his eyes and spread out his Divine Sense.
After a while, he gritted his teeth coldly.
The expansion of the Demon Cave did not stop because of the destruction of the Demon Pagoda. The 108 Demon Caves were still closely linked together without any change.
Now, it seemed that once the Demon Race’s great formation was activated, the existence of the Demon Pagoda would no longer matter.
No wonder he was able to destroy the Demon Pagoda with a single blow. It wasn’t because he was stronger than the two Dragon Clan Elders, but rather because the Demon Pagoda itself had no need to exist.
All of the Demon Race’s pawns had been laid down. As long as they waited for the Demon Land to expand and swallow up the Star Boundary, the Star Boundary would become the Demon Race’s paradise and become the second Demon Territory!
As for the Star Boundary, it would soon follow in the footsteps of the Matchless World.
Letting out a light cough, he coughed out a mouthful of blood.
After suffering the attack of a Half-Saint, even with his hundred zhang long dragon body, he still felt uncomfortable.
At this moment, the ashen-faced Half-Saints seemed to have discovered something and began communicating with each other with their Divine Senses. Their pale faces gradually regained their color as they stared at Yang Kai with a mocking expression.
Yang Kai stared at them coldly, gripped his Azure Dragon Spear tightly, and turned to leave.
Now that his objective had been achieved, there was no need for him to remain here any longer. In a one-on-one battle, he might not be afraid of any Half-Saint, but if he were to fight one against many, his strength would be insufficient.
Returning to High Heaven Palace in a hurry, he didn’t have time to heal his injuries and instead went straight to the meeting hall.
In front of the hall, a familiar figure was waiting.
Yang Kai stepped forward and cupped his fists, “Army's General Sir!”
“I heard you went to investigate the situation in the Demon Cave? Did you find anything?” Li Wuyi asked anxiously. He had also received a report from Hua Qingsi, which was why he had rushed over here. If there was anyone in the Star Boundary who could obtain the most accurate information from the Demon Race, it would be none other than Yang Kai. Feeling anxious, he didn’t have the mood to wait for a reply and simply came over to ask.
“A little, let’s talk inside,” Yang Kai replied before entering the hall with Li Wuyi.
Inside the main hall, after receiving his instructions, Hua Qingsi had summoned all the higher-ups of the army and served them tea while waiting for Yang Kai to return.
However, at this critical juncture of the survival of this Star Boundary, who would have the mood to drink tea? All of them looked outside anxiously, and when they saw Yang Kai appear, they all stood up.
“Palace Master, are you injured?” Hua Qingsi noticed the trace of blood at the corner of Yang Kai’s mouth and his slightly pale complexion.
“It’s fine,” Yang Kai waved his hand and let everyone take their seats before explaining everything he had learned from this trip.
Inside the hall, everyone’s expressions became ugly after hearing this.
Wu Yin Army’s Commander, Fu Renjie, grit his teeth and said, “I knew something was wrong with those 108 Demon Caves, but I didn’t expect it to be like this. The Demon Race really played a big game.”
“Devouring the Star Boundary, they really have a big appetite,” Someone coldly snorted.
“I just don’t know if they’ll be able to eat it,” Yi Wu Army Commander Shentu Xing sneered, “Do they really think my Star Boundary Army is just a decoration!”
Jia Hai Army Commander Pan Gengnian frowned and said, “Now that the Demon Land is expanding, if we don’t stop it, I’m afraid the Star Boundary will really fall. At that time, no matter how many people the Star Boundary Army has, no matter how strong they are, it will be useless.”
Shentu Xing turned his head to look at him, “Sir Pan, why must you raise the morale of others and lower your own?”
Pan Gengnian said lightly, “It’s just the truth.”
Just as Shentu Xing was about to say something, Yang Kai opened his mouth and said, “Although I hate to admit it, the Demon Race does have the capital to eat up the Star Boundary.”
Everyone stared at him.
Yang Kai stood up, swept his eyes over the crowd, and asked, “Has anyone heard of Great Demon God?”
“Great Demon God?”
“What’s that?”
“A Demon Race Master? Which Demon Race is so bold as to use such a title?”
The group of Pseudo Emperor and Army Commanders exclaimed in shock, obviously not having heard of the Great Demon God before. Even Li Wuyi was staring at Yang Kai in surprise, obviously not having heard of it.
It couldn’t be said that the Pseudo Emperor of the Star Boundary was ignorant and inexperienced. If Yang Kai hadn’t entered the Thousand Illusion Dream World by chance and traces back to the ancient times, he probably wouldn’t have known about the Great Demon God. This existence was a taboo even in the Demon Territory. When he first entered the Demon Territory, Yang Kai had wanted to obtain some information about the Great Demon God from Yu Rumeng, but she had immediately stopped him and avoided it like a snake.
From the looks of it, Yu Rumeng should know a little about the Great Demon God. After all, she was a Demon Saint, and at her level of strength, she was able to learn some secrets others didn’t.
However, she definitely didn’t know much, otherwise she wouldn’t have warned Yang Kai.
Originally, they were discussing the crisis the Star Boundary was facing, but Yang Kai suddenly brought up the Great Demon God. Everyone was confused, but they didn’t rush to ask anything. Since Yang Kai had mentioned it at this time, the Great Demon God must be related to the current situation.
