Lin Rusong said, “Army's General Sir, this old master is old and has lived in seclusion for many years, so I have lost my desire to improve. Although I am fortunate enough to obtain the qualifications to enter the Profound Heaven Temple, even if I were to enter it, I’m afraid I won’t have many opportunities. Why don’t you allow this old master to give his qualifications to Sir Yang? Sir Yang is a rising star, a young talent who has also received the legacy of Sir Bright Moon. If he were to enter the Profound Heaven Temple, he would definitely have some achievements. Army's General Sir, please also enter the Profound Heaven Temple to manage the situation.”
As soon as these words came out, all the masters stared at him in surprise, and slowly, their surprise turned into respect.
Lin Rusong wasn’t young anymore, but he was still far from the age he had described. Although he looked like an old man on the outside, he was still a Pseudo Emperor and had many years to live. For him to be willing to transfer his qualifications at this time was undoubtedly a sign of peace.
However, this price was too high.
None of them were as bold as him, so how could they not have respect in their hearts? Even Cang Mo, who had been making things difficult for Yang Kai, also frowned slightly, his face showing some regret. He was targeting Yang Kai for his own personal grievances, while Lin Rusong was sacrificing his own interests for the greater good. Comparatively speaking, it seemed like he was looking for trouble.
Fu Zhun’s cold eyes became much gentler when she looked at Lin Rusong. Under the pressure of so many Pseudo Emperors fighting over a spot, someone had actually taken the initiative to give up the qualifications he had obtained. Such magnanimity was difficult for ordinary people.
Li Wuyi smiled and said, “This King appreciates Sir Lin’s good intentions, but this matter was discussed long ago with the two Elders. It is not appropriate for the two Elders to directly intervene in the matters of the Star Boundary, so I have to remain here to oversee the situation, so no matter what, I cannot go away.” After pausing for a moment, he cupped his fists and said, “No matter what, thank you Sir Lin!”
Hearing this, Lin Rusong sighed, “Sir’s righteousness is admirable!”
Li Wuyi said, “This King also admires Sir Lin’s magnanimity.”
Because of Lin Rusong’s sudden appearance, the old man was willing to give up his qualifications to mediate the situation. If Cang Mo continued to blabber on, he would be too ungrateful.
“Anyone else have any objections?” Zhu Yan swept his eyes over the crowd, but no one responded.
“Since that’s the case, after entering the Profound Heaven Temple, we must support each other to avoid internal strife. This old master will wait outside for your good news,” Zhu Yan nodded lightly. He also knew that it was impossible to completely avoid internal strife inside. Even if this group from the Star Boundary could completely eradicate all of the Demon Region’s Half Saints, there would still be a fierce struggle in the end.
This time, when the Profound Heaven Palace opened, there was only one place to become a Great Emperor, and the path to obtaining that spot was the path of bloody slaughter.
However, before the Demon Race’s Half Saints died, the Star Boundary’s Pseudo Emperor still needed to maintain the relationship between allies and comrades.
While the Star Boundary was communicating, the people from the Demon Race also gradually gathered, and behind the three Demon Saints, figures with dense Demonic Qi appeared.
Yang Kai looked over and couldn’t help frowning. The number of Half-Saints sent by the Demon Territory was obviously more than the number of Pseudo Emperors from the Star Boundary. This was also within his expectations. All this time, in terms of high-end combat strength, the Demon Race had an absolute advantage. The Great Emperors and Demon Saints were like this, and so were the Pseudo Emperors and Half-Saints. The main reason for this was that the Demon Territory was larger than the Star Boundary and had a larger capacity for World Bottles. On top of that, the Demon Race had the Myriad Demon Pills, consuming this kind of pill was much easier for the Demon Race cultivation.
Fortunately, the Demon Race also had the same concerns as the Star Boundary, so they didn’t dare send out all of their Half-Saints. This time, although the number of people who had come was a bit more than the Star Boundary, it wasn’t too far off. There were about forty of them, which was still within an acceptable range, so it was likely that they were also here to deal with the Star Boundary’s forces.
“Be careful of that Corpse Demon,” Li Wuyi suddenly whispered to Yang Kai.
Yang Kai followed his gaze and saw that the leader of the Demon Race’s Half-Saint camp, a Corpse Demon, was looking towards him with a sinister grin. His skin was a dark green color and his fangs were exposed, revealing three-inch-long spikes that looked like steel needles.
At first glance, this Corpse Demon looked like a zombie, terrifying.
“Jia Long?” Yang Kai raised his brow.
He had been in the Demon Territory for many years, so he knew more about the Demon Race than anyone else. Even though he had never met the Demon Territory’s Half Saints, he had heard of their names.
Hearing Li Wuyi’s words, Yang Kai immediately guessed this Corpse Demon’s identity.
“That’s right,” Li Wuyi nodded lightly, “Among the Demon Race’s Half Saints, this Demon’s strength is ranked first. I’ve fought him twice, he’s quite difficult to deal with. If you encounter him, you must be careful.”
Yang Kai nodded lightly.
There wasn’t much time left, so Li Wuyi whispered into Yang Kai’s ear and showed him the few Half-Saints he needed to pay special attention to from the Demon Race. These Half-Saints were the ones Li Wuyi thought would pose a threat to Yang Kai.
Yang Kai took note of this.
On the other hand, Jia Long also seemed to have a great prejudice against Li Wuyi. From the moment he appeared, he had been staring at Li Wuyi, and when he noticed that Li Wuyi was communicating with Yang Kai via voice transmission, Jia Long turned his eyes to Yang Kai and grinned before raising his hand to slit his throat.
Yang Kai sneered and turned a deaf ear.
Suddenly, Yang Kai frowned and looked towards a figure from the Demon Race camp, “Who is that? Why is there a human race?”
Amongst the Half Saints, there was also a human figure. Although this human was also covered in Demonic Qi, there was still a slight difference between him and the other Demon Race cultivators. If one didn’t pay attention to him, they might overlook him, so Yang Kai didn’t notice him just now.
Li Wuyi lightly said, “One of the four Great Monarch Envoys of the Demon Heavenly Dao, Fire Monarch!”
“So it’s him!” Yang Kai understood.
Demon Heavenly Dao was originally a group of traitors from the Star Boundary who had surrendered to the Demon Race. Whether it was voluntary or forced, they had all been reduced to demons. The Dao Master was Night Shadow Great Emperor Can Ye. Since the Demon Race’s invasion, Demon Heavenly Dao's existence had brought a lot of trouble to the Star Boundary.
Below that Dao Master were four Great Monarch Envoys, respectively Wind, Thunder, Fire, Mountain, each of them possessing the strength of a Pseudo Emperor.
The Wind Monarch had died in the Passing of Time Temple, and Yang Kai’s white hair was all thanks to the Wind Monarch. After that, the Thunder Monarch seemed to have also died in the hands of the Star Boundary master, while the Fire Monarch and Mountain Monarch disappeared.
Soon after, the Second World War began, and the Demon Race launched a large-scale invasion. Dao Master Can Ye was heavily injured and his whereabouts were unknown, while the Demon Heavenly Dao gradually disappeared.
The existence of the Demon Heavenly Dao had been created by Can Ye before the Demon Race’s invasion, so now that the Demon Race’s army had arrived, there was naturally no need for the Demon Heavenly Dao to exist. Even Can Ye was secretly healing himself, so the Demon Heavenly Law is left by itself.
However, Yang Kai didn’t expect that this time, when the Profound Heaven Temple opened, this Demon Heavenly Dao’s Fire Monarch would actually obtain the qualifications to enter. Although he didn’t know what the situation was on the Demon Race’s side, he knew that it was similar to the Star Boundary’s side. In order to compete for the qualifications to enter, there would definitely be some quarrels and fights.
The fact that Fire Monarchc was able to stand out among a group of Demon Race Half-Saints as a human was quite surprising.
Faintly, Yang Kai felt that this Fire Monarch gave him a familiar feeling, as if he had seen him somewhere before.
As if sensing Yang Kai’s gaze, the Fire Monarch turned his head to look at him, and as their eyes met, the Fire Monarch smiled.
“You must be careful with this person too,” Li Wuyi’s voice rang out beside his ear, “Of the four Great Monarch Envoys of Demon Heavenly Dao, the other three’s origins are all very clear and can be traced. Only this Fire Monarch's origins are a mystery. Before the rise of Demon Heavenly Dao, this person never appeared, but after the appearance of Demon Heavenly Dao, he suddenly appeared. I don’t know where Can Ye found him.”
“I’ll be careful,” Yang Kai nodded lightly.
At this moment, the door to the Profound Heaven Temple had already been opened, like the mouth of an invisible beast trying to swallow someone whole. Just from the aura coming from the door, one could feel a trace of the aura of the Great Dao. After they gathered together, whether it was the Human Race’s Pseudo Emperor or the Demon Territory's Half-Saint, all of them had eager looks on their faces. As long as they rushed through the door and entered the Profound Heaven Temple, they would have a chance to become Great Emperors. Who could resist such temptation?
However, since the two Dragon Race Elders and the three Demon Saints had not spoken, no one dared to act rashly. After all, it was not so easy to be the first to act.
As the two forces collided, the space around them distorted.
Suddenly, Xue Li raised his hand and pointed at Yang Kai, “Go inside and find an opportunity to kill him!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a bright red light shot out from his fingertip towards Yang Kai.
Yang Kai’s expression became serious, but before he could do anything, Zhu Yan had already appeared in front of him and waved his hand to disperse the blood-red light.
This finger seemed to be a signal, and after Xue Li pointed it out, the dozen or so Half-Saints behind him all flew towards the main door of the Profound Heaven Temple and were about to rush inside.
As the Space Laws fluctuated, Li Wuyi and Yang Kai simultaneously disappeared.
By the time they reappeared, the two of them had already arrived in front of the entrance to the Profound Heaven Temple.
Li Wuyi’s black hair fluttered in the wind as his clothes fluttered in the wind. Space distorted around him as the power of his Laws fluctuated wildly. Facing the dozens of Demon Territory Half-Saints charging towards him, his expression remained unchanged as he suddenly clapped his hands together and shouted, “Condense!”
Space froze and the Half-Saints who were rushing forward all froze.
However, no matter how strong Li Wuyi was, he was still only a Pseudo Emperor, so how could he possibly stop so many Half-Saint attacks by himself? Being able to slow them down for even a moment was already an incredible feat.
The Half-Saints were enraged, each of them using their own Secret Techniques to break free from the constraints of space as their Demonic Qi surged.
