What kind of terrifying World Killing Array was this? Yang Kai broke out in a cold sweat.
Using the World Source Liquid as a catalyst to attract people to investigate, one would unconsciously lose themselves in an illusion that even a Half-Saint or a Pseudo Emperor would not be able to awaken from, eventually dying here.
The Profound Heaven Temple was a World Secret Realm. Not only did it have endless opportunities, but it also had unpredictable dangers. For many generations, the number of Pseudo Emperors who participated in the Great Dao Competition would not exceed one-third. The ones who died here were not only those who fought with others, but those who were not strong enough were also killed.
There were many such people.
There were five cocoons here, and besides Bing Yun that Yang Kai could see, the other four were tightly wrapped, but Yang Yan should be one of them.
The strangeness of this place was something even a veteran Pseudo Emperor like Yang Yan couldn’t contend with, so it was easy to imagine what would happen if others came here. Yang Kai estimated that the reason he was safe and sound was because he possessed a portion of the World Will of the Star Boundary.
The Profound Heaven Temple was a World Secret Realm, born from the beginning of the world, a place where the Great Dao supremacy was contended. It was a place where the mysteries of the Heaven and Earth were constantly being observed.
Yang Kai had been complaining about his invisible World Will being useless, but he hadn’t expected it to take effect so quickly.
This World Killing Array was not completely ineffective against him. From the moment he had taken the initiative to touch those threads, it was obvious that he was also affected, but with the protection of the Soul Warming Lotus, he had not been lost inside. The reason those threads had not taken the initiative to touch him was likely because they had sensed the aura of the World Will. This was a World Killing Array, and the World Will on Yang Kai’s body allowed him to avoid the hostility of the world here, allowing those threads to avoid contact with him.
It seemed that in this Profound Heaven Temple, the World Will he possessed was not completely useless, it was just that he had yet to discover it. After understanding this point, Yang Kai began to look forward to what kind of help the World Will would provide him in the upcoming struggle.
However, the urgent matter at hand was to rescue Yang Yan and Bing Yun first.
Swiftly stepping forward, he arrived in front of Bing Yun, his hands transforming into dragon claws as he tore apart the threads wrapped around her body and quickly pulled her out.
However, Bing Yun didn’t wake up immediately. Her eyes were still closed and a smile hung on her lips, as if she had seen something beautiful.
Left with no choice, Yang Kai could only put her away in the Mysterious Small World and prepare to wait for her to wake up before making his decision.
The second silkworm cocoon was quickly torn apart by Yang Kai. Yang Kai looked at it and was immediately amused.
Inside this cocoon was a Half-Saint from the Demon Race, seemingly a Corpse Demon. As soon as the cocoon broke, a rotten aura rushed out.
His previous guess was correct. Among these five silkworm cocoons, there was indeed a Demon Race Half-Saint. When Bing Yun had left this place, Yang Yan was the only one here. The other four should have arrived shortly after her, but all of them had fallen here.
This kind of opportunity to beat a dog while it was down was rare. Since they were mortal enemies, how could Yang Kai show any mercy? First, he took out the Space Ring on the Corpse Demon’s body and threw a punch towards it. Under the Secret Technique of Collapse, a black ball flashed and the Corpse Demon and the silkworm disappeared without a trace.
Yang Kai couldn’t help feeling happy after easily killing a Half-Saint.
The third person wrapped in the silk cocoon was a Human Race Pseudo Emperor, one of the fifty-fifth Star Boundary's Commander, Gan Li. Although Yang Kai and Gan Li knew each other, they didn’t have much of a friendship and had only spoken three sentences to each other.
Coincidentally, Yang Kai rescued him and stored him in the Mysterious Small World.
The fourth Silkworm Cocoon was another Demon Race Half-Saint, and he used the same method to handle it before.
When the fifth cocoon was torn apart by Yang Kai, Yang Yan’s figure was revealed. Seeing this, Yang Kai couldn’t help letting out a sigh of relief. He was really worried about what would happen if the one inside this fifth cocoon wasn’t Yang Yan. Fortunately, this situation didn’t occur.
Killing two Demon Race Half Saints and saving three of the Star Boundary’s Pseudo Emperors without any effort, Yang Kai was in a good mood. If he counted the number of Half Saints who had died in his hands since the beginning of the Great Dao Competition, he estimated that even Li Wuyi would not be able to accomplish such a feat.
Although there was a large portion of luck involved, sometimes, wasn’t luck also one of the reasons why cultivators could climb to the peak of the Martial Dao?
Turning his head to stare at the milky white liquid in the pool, Yang Kai couldn’t help breathing heavily.
Since his debut, he had obtained countless rare treasures, but very few of them could be compared to this pond in front of him. The Soul Warming Lotus and the Eternal Tree should be considered supreme treasures, but the World Source Liquid also had its own uses. It was the essence of the World Source Liquid that was born at the beginning of the world, and every drop of World Source Liquid contained the Primordial Chaos aura from when the world was first created. If one could consume it, it would help one comprehend the Heavenly Law Martial Dao.
With such a precious treasure in front of him, even a Great Emperor would be jealous, let alone a High-Rank Demon King like Yang Kai.
Swallowing hard, Yang Kai first reached out his finger and dipped it into the pool of World Source Liquid before putting it into his mouth. At this critical moment, it was only natural to eat some meat first.
Before he could savor it carefully, he heard a buzzing sound in his mind, and then his entire body shook as his Knowledge Sea shook. His vision went black as his five senses were stripped away. He couldn’t see, hear, or feel anything, as if he had fallen into a chaotic place.
A ray of light suddenly blossomed, and the primal chaos was split open. Clear qi rose up into the sky, turbid qi sank to the ground, the world began, and all things were born…
After an unknown amount of time had passed, Yang Kai suddenly came back to his senses, his eyes flashing with a brilliant light and a thoughtful look on his face.
In that moment just now, he felt as if he had transformed into a world, from the primordial chaos to the creation of the world, and then to a beautiful landscape…
Faintly, he was enlightened. Perhaps this was the peak that cultivators pursued…
However, all of this was too far away for the current him. He was only a High-Rank Demon King now, and there were still Half-Saint, Demon Saint…
The insights he had gained this time had far exceeded the realm he should have been able to comprehend, so there were many things he was unable to understand. However, he wasn’t upset about this. As long as he slowly accumulated his insights, he would eventually be able to reach this realm, but this kind of enlightenment was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Now that he had memorized this feeling, it would definitely be able to help when the time was right.
Now, he was certain that this pool of milky white liquid was the World Source Liquid. If it weren’t for this mysterious object, how could it give him such a wonderful feeling?
There was nothing else to say, so Yang Kai immediately put it away and wrapped it up with his Divine Sense.
Yang Kai’s face twitched slightly. He had originally wanted to directly put this wooden pool into the Mysterious Small World, but who would have thought that it wouldn’t move at all. With his Divine Sense, he could clearly feel that this small wooden pool was closely connected to the entire Profound Heaven Palace.
If he wanted to collect the Wood Pond, he had to first collect the Profound Heaven Temple.
This was completely impossible.
Yang Kai could only take a step back and begin collecting the World Source Liquid from the wooden pool.
This time, it wasn’t difficult at all. With his actions, the World Source Liquid in the Wooden Pond constantly decreased and was absorbed into the Mysterious Small World by him. For this reason, he even made a pool in the Mysterious Small World’s Medicine Garden.
The wooden pool wasn’t big, only a few meters in diameter, and the water in the pool was only three meters deep.
However, when the World Source Liquid in the wooden pool had been reduced by more than half, Yang Kai suddenly stopped and looked around with a solemn expression.
In that instant, he felt as if he was being watched by a pair of eyes.
Sweeping out with his Divine Sense, Yang Kai couldn’t find anything, causing him to be somewhat puzzled. With his current Divine Sense cultivation, no one in the Profound Heaven Temple could compare to him. If there really was someone secretly observing him, it was impossible for him not to notice.
Frowning, Yang Kai pondered for a moment before letting out a cold laugh. He didn’t care if the person spying on him was a human or a demon, nor did he care what their intentions were. In any case, he would first collect all the World Source Liquid here, and when the time came, whether he wanted to fight or stay would be up to him.
Although this was what he was thinking, his body was extremely resistant, as if if if he really did this, something bad would definitely happen.
Cold sweat slowly appeared on Yang Kai’s forehead as he tried again, his rationality telling him to stop while he was ahead.
After hesitating for a while, Yang Kai finally gritted his teeth and gave up on the idea of taking all the World Source Liquid. Miraculously, when he put down this thought, the sense of danger he felt from being spied upon suddenly disappeared and everything returned to normal.
“World's Will!” Yang Kai’s expression became serious. At this moment, how could he not understand that the situation just now was not a result of someone secretly spying on him, but the World Will in his body.
This invisible World Will bestowed upon Yang Kai’s body was the blessing of the world, and it always had the ability to seek good fortune and avoid disaster. Although Yang Kai didn’t know what the consequences would be if he really take everything just now, it was likely that he wouldn’t have a good ending.
Now that he had let it go, he felt much more relaxed.
However, if such a treasure couldn’t be taken away when it's in front of him, who would be willing to accept it? Yang Kai struggled, hesitated, and tried several times, but every time he had the thought of continuing to collect it, he would feel a strange sensation, and after letting go of this thought, everything would return to normal.
After so many times, Yang Kai no longer dared to have any malicious thoughts and instead steeled his heart and walked out.
A moment later, Yang Kai walked out of the wooden pool and looked back, only to see the scenery there distort and then disappear, replaced by a thick forest, no different from any other place.
He understood that after being tormented by him for so long, this World Killing Array that had existed since ancient times had likely been damaged. Without the protection of this World Killing Array, how could the remaining World Source Liquid be preserved? Now that it had taken the initiative to escape, it was likely a form of self-protection. He just didn’t know how many years it would be before it reappeared.
