After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Yang Kai, who had been standing in the forest, suddenly trembled, his face as pale as paper and two streams of golden blood flowing from his nostrils.
His tightly shut eyes suddenly opened as a trace of fear flashed across his face. Although the battle of Divine Sense just now seemed silent to the outside world, the level of danger it posed was far greater than the desperate struggle between him and Luo Ya.
After all, this was the Soul Clone of a Demon Saint, and the battlefield was still in his Knowledge Sea. The slightest mistake would result in his soul being destroyed.
Fortunately, the battlefield was in his Knowledge Sea, so he had the advantage in terms of location. On top of that, Xue Li had also underestimated the power of his Divine Soul. With the assistance of the Soul Warming Lotus, he had paid a heavy price to kill this Soul Clone in his Knowledge Sea.
His physical body and Divine Soul had been completely damaged, and the struggle for the Great Dao had only just begun. This terrible opening was truly frustrating.
The wounds on his body were left behind when he fought with Luo Ya. When he fought with Luo Ya, he had used a method where both sides suffered heavy losses. Without the constant corrosion of his Martial Dao True Intent, it wouldn’t have been difficult for him to win, but it would have been impossible for him to kill Luo Ya. There was nothing he could do about it, a Half-Saint wasn’t so easy to kill. The Half-Saint Yin Si who had died at his hands had been severely injured in the beginning and was still recovering, so when he entered her territory, she had been unable to seize the initiative. Even so, it had taken him more than a month to recover.
Strictly speaking, the Wind Monarch was not killed by him, but by Yang Xiao and Yang Xue.
The third was the Stone Demon Half-Saint he had killed in Star Soul Palace, thanks to the Azure Dragon Spear and Lan Xun’s assistance.
This could be considered Yang Kai’s first time killing a Half-Saint in his peak state alone, and this Sand Demon Half-Saint was even slightly stronger than the Wind Monarch. After all, he was still a High-Rank Demon King, so how could he not pay a price?
As for the injury to his Divine Soul, there was nothing he could do about it. Even though Xue Li’s Soul Clone had underestimated his Divine Soul’s cultivation and had the advantage of geographical advantage, a Demon Saint’s Soul Clone had inherited the experience of his main body. If it wasn’t for the Soul Warming Lotus constantly nourishing his damaged Divine Sense, it was hard to say who would have won this battle.
He encountered Luo Ya randomly, and his Knowledge Sea actually have a Demon Saint’s restriction, so it was easy to imagine that the other Half-Saints who had entered this place were all like this.
This news had to be spread quickly. Although everyone was their enemy at the end of the Great Dao struggle, before the Demon Race’s forces were eliminated, it would be best if the Pseudo Emperors of the Star Boundary could join forces. If they were to accidentally fall into a trap, it would be disadvantageous to the Star Boundary.
Yang Kai could think of a way to search for useful information from Luo Ya’s Soul, it's impossible for the Pseudo Emperor to not have such thoughts. This method was also the fastest way to obtain information about the Profound Heaven Temple.
Thinking so, Yang Kai took a deep breath and muttered to himself, “There’s actually a Demon Saint’s Soul Clone in the Knowledge Sea, how sinister!”
A light breeze blew and the leaves rustled, filling the air with a bloody smell. Yang Kai stood in place with his Azure Dragon Spear, his eyes closed.
After an unknown period of time, he suddenly raised his head and looked towards a certain direction, frowning slightly, “It really is one of us…”
When he was fighting with Luo Ya earlier, he had sensed a hidden aura nearby, but at that time, the battle had reached a critical juncture, so he couldn’t divert his attention to carefully investigate, nor did he know if the person hiding was a human or a Demon.
However, even after he had nailed Luo Ya to the ground, the person in the shadows still hadn’t made a move, so the possibility of a Demon Race Half-Saint appearing was very low. If there really was a Demon Race Half-Saint hiding nearby, he definitely wouldn’t sit back and watch the tigers fight in the mountain, instead choosing to join forces with Luo Ya.
After killing Luo Ya and fighting Xue Li’s Soul Clone in his Knowledge Sea, Yang Kai had been injured and was no longer able to identify who was hiding nearby.
In fact, he wasn’t even sure if the person who had been secretly following them was still around.
It was only at this moment that the feeling of being secretly watched suddenly disappeared, allowing him to confirm the truth of the situation; that person had been here all along and had just left.
Presumably, the other party had already heard what he had deliberately muttered. Regardless of whether or not he would send this news to the other Pseudo Emperor, at least he would know.
This was also Yang Kai’s intention.
However… it really was a struggle between Great Daos, with enemies everywhere and no one believing it. The situation on the Human Race’s side wasn’t optimistic at all. Originally, they had ten fewer people than the Demon Territory's Half Saints, but now that they saw Yang Kai and a Half-Saint fighting to the death, they didn’t show up to help him and instead wanted to reap the benefits.
Yang Kai smiled bitterly to himself. This was probably related to him possessing the World's Will.
Perhaps they all felt that the World's Will in his body was of great help to the final struggle for the Great Dao. If Luo Ya had been able to kill Yang Kai in the battle just now, the person spying on them would have definitely killed Luo Ya to obtain that World's Will.
Since this World's Will had been transferred from Bright Moon Greaat Emperor to Yang Kai, as long as Yang Kai died, it could naturally be transferred to the person who killed him.
But in the end, Yang Kai was the only one who knew that up until now, the invisible World's Will had not been of any use.
No matter what, this battle had caused him a lot of damage, but he had also gained a lot. As long as he could digest all the gains and losses from this battle, it would greatly improve his strength.
He had to find a safe place to recuperate!
Thinking of this, Yang Kai quickly turned his head to look at Luo Ya’s corpse. A Half-Saint’s life’s accumulation was a massive amount of wealth, so there was no reason for him to let him go.
Seeing this, Yang Kai was shocked, because the originally burly Luo Ya had somehow become a dried corpse, as if he had been blown by a sandstorm for thousands of years, shriveled and without any luster, his flesh and blood essence had disappeared without a trace.
Yang Kai couldn’t help feeling his blood run cold!
Because he had sensed that someone was secretly spying on him, even when he was fighting Xue Li’s Soul Clone, he had deliberately split a portion of his attention to guard his surroundings, lest someone take advantage of him.
However, he had not discovered when Luo Ya’s corpse had become like this.
Such a scene was somewhat similar to the Heaven Devourer Battle Law being used by his Embodiment to devour his vitality.
What was going on? Yang Kai couldn’t understand. Perhaps the person who had been spying on him had seen the whole story, but now he didn’t even know who that person was, so how could he investigate?
Luo Ya’s corpse still had a Space Ring on it, Yang Kai picked up his spear and put it away before flying off in a certain direction.
Half a day later, inside the Mysterious Small World's medicine garden, Yang Kai sat cross-legged as a rich World Energy gathered around his body. As his flesh and blood fluctuated, the hideous wounds on his body began to wriggle and sprout, layer after layer of dry blood began to fall off.
The two Little Wood Spirits floated next to him one after the other, their expressions solemn as they formed a series of hand seals with their hands, releasing a green light that enveloped Yang Kai.
The green light was filled with vitality, accelerating Yang Kai’s recovery.
To Yang Kai, although he had suffered heavy injuries in this battle, none of them had actually damaged his foundation. The injuries on his body relied on his powerful recovery ability and the healing of the Wood Spirit and would soon be fully healed. As for the injuries on his Divine Soul, there was no need to worry about them, the Soul Warming Lotus would naturally heal them.
However, the battle for the Great Dao of the Profound Heaven Temple could not be delayed. Every day he spent in the Mysterious Small World, the Pseudo Emperors outside would lose a portion of their combat strength.
In the depths of the Profound Heaven Temple, there was chaos and endless darkness, as if the world had yet to open.
In the midst of this chaos, a large square giant cauldron was gently rotating. The surface of this giant cauldron was engraved with countless complex patterns. At a glance, these patterns were simply incomprehensible. Even if Great Emperors or Demon Saints were here, they would not be able to distinguish the specific patterns.
However, if one were to pay close attention to these patterns, they would be able to see the ups and downs of all living things in this world. These crisscrossing patterns seemed to be able to evolve all living things in this world.
Inside the giant cauldron, there was a profound aura that could drive anyone crazy.
After the Demon Territory Half-Saint Luo Ya was killed by Yang Kai, Luo Ya’s body shriveled at a speed visible to the naked eye, his vitality disappearing without a trace, turning into a dried corpse in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, a hazy aura suddenly appeared from the giant cauldron that was slowly rotating and transforming into all things in the world. This aura was extremely pure and clean, enough to allow any living being to absorb it into their body and increase their strength.
When this pure aura appeared, the darkness that shrouded the deepest part of the Profound Heaven Temple seemed to weaken slightly.
The giant cauldron continued to spin, as if it had been like this since ancient times, continuing all the way to the end of the world…
Profound Heaven Temple, Star Boundary’s World Secret Realm, a wondrous space that had existed since the beginning of the world, a place where the fates of billions of living beings gathered.
The world seemed to have piled up all the beautiful things in this world. Every place in this Secret Realm had its own beautiful scenery that would make one forget about ever returning. The World Energy here was so rich that even the World Laws were clearly visible, making it easier for one to comprehend the Dao.
However, every time this World Secret Realm opened, it would be accompanied by endless slaughter and battles, and none of the masters who participated in it had the mood to enjoy this beautiful scenery.
In the middle of a dense forest, Sheng Yuzhu's figure was nimble as it jumped up and down on the treetop like a fluttering butterfly.
All of a sudden, her beautiful figure came to a stop and a crisp voice rang out, “Come out, is there any point in hiding?”
A ripple appeared in the air as a figure wrapped in darkness suddenly appeared not far from her, followed by a skeleton-like figure with two balls of ghost flames flickering in its eye sockets.
One after another, they blocked off the path of retreat for Sheng Yuzhu.
