Luo Meng pondered for a moment before nodding, “Sir Yang is right. Since that’s the case, let us travel together so we can take care of each other.”
“Good!” Yang Kai nodded and turned his head to look towards the depths of the hall. Just now, he had been fighting with Luo Meng and the others, so he didn’t have time to investigate anything. At this moment, all he could see was the darkness in front of him, making it impossible to see anything clearly. Moreover, when his Divine Sense probed it, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, without any sound.
The interior of the hall seemed to be shrouded in a thick fog, the strange fragrance and the aura of the Great Dao flowing around it.
“Has Sir Luo checked the situation up ahead?” Yang Kai asked.
Luo Meng shook his head and said, “We’ve only just arrived and haven’t had the time to investigate, but this Profound Heaven Temple is quite strange, the road ahead will be quite bumpy.”
Yang Kai smiled and said, “In the path of cultivation, there is no such thing as a flat road. We have encountered many obstacles, so we can only advance forward bravely and overcome them.”
Luo Meng nodded, “Sir Yang is right.”
“This way,” Yang Kai turned his head and looked around at everyone, “I will lead the way, Yang Yan and Sir Luo will lead behind, and the others will act as support. If there are any unexpected changes, I hope everyone can act quickly.”
Yang Yan frowned, “I’ll lead the way.”
In any case, the person at the very front was the most dangerous, and no one knew if there were any kind of restriction in this Profound Heaven Temple. Although Yang Kai’s cultivation was a bit low, he possessed a World Will and was a strong candidate for this Great Dao struggle. How could Yang Yan allow him to have any accidents? She and Bing Yun had come here this time to ensure Yang Kai’s safety, and she had also told Li Wuyi about this matter and obtained his approval.
Yang Kai raised his hand and stopped her, “There’s not much time, let’s not waste any more time. I still have some life-saving skills.”
Seeing him so insistent, Yang Yan didn’t say anything more, “Then be careful.” Saying so, she shot a glance towards Bing Yun, who nodded lightly.
After a brief discussion, the two groups of people gathered and began moving forward. Yang Kai led the way while Bing Yun followed closely behind, secretly circulating her Emperor Qi and preparing to attack at any moment. The others spread out to the left and right while Luo Meng and Yang Yan followed a few steps behind.
Stepping into the darkness, they couldn’t even see their own hands, and even their Divine Sense was suppressed to the limit. Fortunately, their voices hadn’t stopped and they could hear the breathing and light footsteps of their companions. At the very least, they didn’t feel lonely.
The group’s speed wasn’t fast, but it wasn’t slow either. Unexpectedly, as they entered the main hall, they were able to pass through without any obstructions or dangers. No matter who it was, none of them let down their guard.
Yang Kai was constantly observing his surroundings and paying attention to the movements of the people behind him.
At a certain moment, when he was investigating the situation of the people behind him, his expression suddenly changed because there was no one behind him! Just a moment ago, he could still hear the faint sound of heartbeats and footsteps behind him, but in the next moment, the people who had been following him all this time had disappeared without a trace!
Suddenly turning around, Yang Kai couldn’t see anyone else, and Bing Yun, who had been following closely behind him, had also disappeared.
Cold sweat dripped down Yang Kai’s forehead as he quickly activated his Divine Sense to monitor his surroundings.
He had completely failed to notice how the people behind him had disappeared. With his current Divine Soul cultivation, even if the Demon Saint and Great Emperors were to act, it would be impossible for anyone to do so without him noticing. The only explanation was that he had triggered some kind of restriction in the Profound Heaven Temple, causing him to be separated from the others.
If he was like this, how would their situation be? And what kind of dangers would this restriction contain? Yang Kai knew nothing about it, so all he could do now was remain vigilant and continue forward…
At the same time, Bing Yun, who was walking inside the hall, let out a low cry.
“What’s wrong?” Yang Yan immediately asked.
“Yang Kai has disappeared,” Bing Yun exclaimed.
As soon as these words came out, everyone felt their hair stand on end.
All of them were Pseudo Emperor Realm masters, and they weren’t far from each other. Even though the situation here was strange and their Divine Sense was greatly suppressed, as long as they paid attention, they could still monitor the movements of any one of them.
But in fact, even after Bing Yun spoke, no one noticed how Yang Kai disappeared.
Even Yang Yan, who had been paying close attention to Yang Kai’s movements, had not noticed.
With a swoosh, Yang Yan rushed over from behind and looked around. Sure enough, there was no one in front of her, so she asked, “When did he disappear?”
Just now, she had clearly heard Yang Kai’s heartbeat and breathing.
“Just now!”
“How did he disappear?”
“I’m not sure,” Bing Yun’s beautiful brow wrinkled. She wasn’t distracted by anything else, because she was the closest to Yang Kai, she was constantly paying attention to him, but even she didn’t notice how he disappeared. It was only after Yang Kai disappeared that she realized what had happened.
The purpose of her and Yang Yan’s trip this time was to protect Yang Kai and participate in the final struggle for the Great Dao. Now that Yang Kai had been lost, even with Bing Yun’s firm personality, she couldn’t help feeling a bit confused.
If so, what was the point of Li Wuyi’s sacrifice?
“Everyone be careful, Sir Yang may have touched some kind of restriction,” Luo Meng shouted.
Yang Yan frowned and asked, “If it was a Restriction, why did he disappear by himself? We should have been implicated as well.” Although it was possible that the Restriction was only used on one person, it was still too strange.
At this moment, a faint light suddenly burst out from the dark hall. This light seemed to be coming from somewhere far away, and as the light spread out, the darkness surrounding the hall began to disperse. A ten-meter wide passage that was emitting a faint light led to the place where the light was coming from.
Yang Kai had suddenly disappeared, and now there was such a glimmering path in front of them, causing everyone to be confused. There was no danger here, but instead a faint call came from the front, as if the target everyone was looking for was up ahead.
Pondering for a moment, Luo Meng said, “Lady Yang Yan, although Sir Yang has gone missing, with his ability, he shouldn’t be in any trouble. If he breaks free, he will definitely go to the last place. How about we go first and wait for him to come?”
Hearing this, Yang Yan fell silent for a moment before gently nodding her head. She also knew that Luo Meng was right. She had no idea how Yang Kai had disappeared or where he was now, so even if she went to look for him, she wouldn’t be able to find any clues. Rather than that, it would be better to wait at the finish line and perhaps wait to see Yang Kai there.
Since they had made up their minds, no one wasted any more time and immediately set out.
However, after learning from someone's previous mistakes, everyone became even more careful, but what was surprising was that even after reaching the end of the road, no accidents occurred.
At the end of the road, there was a spacious hall that was more than a thousand feet and plenty of space. In the middle of the hall, there was a simple and unadorned giant cauldron that was slowly rotating. The patterns around the giant cauldron flickered with a faint light as a rich aura of the Great Dao was emitted from it.
“Void Heavenly Cauldron!” Luo Meng called out as he stared at the giant cauldron engraved with complicated patterns.
This giant cauldron was none other than the giant cauldron that had been projected between the heaven and earth. Although it had shrunk countless times, it was still several meters tall.
Not only was Luo Meng’s eyes burning with passion, but the eyes of the six Pseudo Emperors present also began to burn.
Before entering the Profound Heaven Temple, everyone knew that they had to enter this World Secret Realm to find the Void Heavenly Cauldron, but no one knew where it was located. At this moment, the key to becoming a Great Emperor had finally appeared in front of everyone’s eyes, and breaking the Void Heavenly Cauldron’s secrets would allow one to become a Great Emperor.
With a swish, a figure flashed past Luo Meng and rushed towards the Void Heavenly Cauldron, his companion had already taken the initiative.
To the Star Boundary’s Pseudo Emperors, the Demon Race’s Half-Saint was a mortal enemy, but at the last moment, their former companion had become a rival.
Luo Meng was startled, but he quickly reacted and chased after him.
Shua, shua, shua. Gan Li and the other Pseudo Emperor were also unwilling to fall behind, leaving behind only Yang Yan and Bing Yun.
The two women looked at each other, neither of them having thought that they would be able to reach the deepest part of the Profound Heaven Temple so easily and even find the Void Heavenly Cauldron so easily. In this way, the struggle for the Great Dao had reached its most critical moment. Even if they were unwilling, who could remain safe in this vortex?
After understanding each other’s intentions, Yang Yan shouted, “Let’s go!”
With a burst of Emperor Qi, Yang Yan and Bing Yun flew up together. Now that Yang Kai was no longer here, their previous mission was meaningless. Regardless of whether Yang Kai lived or died, with the Great Dao opportunity in front of them, who could ignore it?
However, at this moment, something unexpected happened.
Energy suddenly erupted in the hall as figures appeared from all directions and attacked from all directions, targeting the person closest to the Void Heavenly Cauldron.
This person was none other than the first Pseudo Emperor who had come here with Yang Yan and the others.
Seeing this, Luo Meng’s expression changed greatly and he shouted, “Brother Zhou, be careful!”
The man surnamed Zhou was also shocked. He had thought that he and the others would be the first to arrive, but who would have thought that this was not the case. At this moment, he turned his head and saw a series of passageways appear around the hall. From these passageways, one figure after another flew over. These people were the Star Boundary’s Pseudo Emperors and the Demon Race’s Half-Saint. It was obvious that they had just arrived here, not much different from the time they had arrived. It was just that they had not come from the same faint light road.
The ones who had attacked him were all Half-Saints of the Demon Race. Although the Human Race’s Pseudo Emperors were fighting for the initiative, it was not yet time for them to kill each other.
Even so, the man surnamed Zhou still felt his scalp go numb. There were at least a dozen Divine Abilities attacking him, and although it was a hasty attack, how could he block so many of them? With a pale face, he raised his hand and summoned a number of artifacts to protect himself.
