“They actually came…” Looking at the three figures who had just emerged from the Void Crack, a trace of worry flashed across Yang Kai’s eyes.
These three were Yu Rumeng, Bei Limo, and Chang Tian!
Needless to say, Yu Rumeng had been his wife for a long time and was also the first Demon Saint to help him resist the Demon Race. Yang Kai had benefited greatly from her and his Divine Soul cultivation had soared because of the power of her Primordial Yin. Chang Tian had also treated him very well and had even wanted him to lead the Hundred Spirit Continent. Although Bei Limo had been forced to do so because of his restrain, she had also contributed greatly during the war between the two worlds.
Previously, when he saw Huang Wuji and the others obey Mo Sheng’s orders, Yang Kai had been secretly vigilant, fearing that Yu Rumeng and the others would do the same. But now, it seemed that Yu Rumeng and the others had not been able to escape the Great Demon God’s grasp, and their situation was even worse than Huang Wuji and the other Demon Saints.
Because at this moment, Yu Rumeng, Bei Limo and Chang Tian looked like puppets being controlled, their faces expressionless and their eyes empty, as if they were unable to control themselves.
However, even if there were only three puppets, they were still Demon Saints!
In addition to his worries, Yang Kai’s heart felt as if a huge stone had been lifted off his chest.
At the beginning of the Second World War, ten Demon Saints had broken through the World Boundary and used their Secret Techniques to restrain the ten top masters of the Star Boundary, trapping them in that strange space.
Not long after, Xue Li, Fu Yu, and Huo Bo escaped. The three Demon Saints who escaped were Yu Rumeng, Bei Limo, and Chang Tian's opponents!
Now it seemed that the reason Xue Li and the others were able to escape was because Yu Rumeng and the others came from the Demon Race, so there was no need for the other Demon Saints to restrict their freedom. On the other hand, Zhan Wuhen and the other Demon Saints had to remain behind to oversee the situation.
However, Yang Kai didn’t know what the situation was like before. Since Xue Li and the others had decided to leave, he was naturally worried about the safety of Yu Rumeng and the others, afraid that they would encounter some kind of accident. Yu Rumeng and the others weren’t Star Boundary's Great Emperors, so Yang Kai couldn’t sense their auras.
Although the current situation was quite bad, Yu Rumeng and the others weren’t in any danger of dying, which was a blessing in disguise!
“Feel despair, boy! Those who defy this King will never have a good end!” Mo Sheng’s voice boomed like thunder, and as he spoke, the three figures who had emerged from the crack all rushed towards Yang Kai.
When Zhan Wuhen and the others saw this, they were shocked. They knew that Yang Kai’s current state was not to be disturbed, let alone facing the attacks of three Demon Saints. If the three of them were to approach Yang Kai, he would definitely be powerless to resist.
They wanted to rush to Yang Kai’s aid, but Huang Wuji and the other Demon Saints didn’t give them any chance to do so. They could only watch as the three figures rapidly approached Yang Kai, three terrifying auras bearing down on him. Before they even arrived, three terrifying Divine Abilities had already been unleashed.
“Wu Kuang!” Zhan Wuhen shouted.
On this battlefield, everyone was distracted, with only Wu Kuang remaining. If they wanted to protect Yang Kai, they could only rely on Wu Kuang’s strength.
He had never thought that one day he would be able to fight side by side with Wu Kuang. Ever since the battle of the Great Emperors, Zhan Wuhen had constantly wanted to tear Wu Kuang’s body into ten thousand pieces, so how could he have imagined that one day he would have to ask a favor of Wu Kuang… The current situation could only be described as fate playing tricks on him.
Fortunately, although Wu Kuang was an evil man, he was well aware that if the nest was destroyed, there was no way it could remain intact. If not for this, he wouldn’t have spent so much effort rescuing the seven Great Emperors.
Wu Kuang’s figure flew over and stood in front of Yang Kai, his arms trembling as he let out a strange laugh, his face filled with frenzy, as if he had traveled through tens of thousands of years of space and time, returning to his high-spirited self during the Star Fragments Sea War.
At that time, the Heaven Devourer Great Emperor was the most famous name in the Star Boundary. At that time, the Heaven Devourer Great Emperor was feared by billions of living beings. At that time, the Heaven Devourer Great Emperor was an invincible existence!
“Heaven Devourer… Domain!”
A ring of devouring aura spread out from Wu Kuang, enveloping the entire void. When the three Demon Saint powerhouses’ Divine Abilities fell into this range, it was as if their strength had been extracted by something and began to weaken at a speed visible to the naked eye.
However, Wu Kuang let out a muffled groan and spat out a mouthful of blood before flying backwards.
When he was sent flying, Duan Hongchen cursed, “Wu Kuang, you dog, don’t treat this old master’s body inappropriately!” Inside his Knowledge Sea, Duan Hongchen saw this scene and became extremely anxious.
After all, this body was still his, so how could he bear to see it suffer any damage?
“kekeke…” Wu Kuang’s mouth was dripping with blood, but he was still smiling happily, “Then let’s not care about that brat’s life or death and take advantage of this opportunity to swallow more.”
Duan Hongchen was suddenly at a loss for words…
Yang Kai was now the key to the survival of the Star Boundary, so how could he not care? In order to kill Wu Kuang, he had not hesitated to sever his own cultivation and fall from the Great Emperor Realm to the Principle Source Stage, make his way into the Star Fragments Sea to search for clues. From this, it could be seen how much sacrifice he had made for the common people. His title was Bustling World, and he had comprehended the Dao of Bustling World. Among all the Great Emperors, there was no one who cared more about the lives and deaths of the billions of people in the Star Boundary than him.
“Enough nonsense, hurry up and show us your trump cards!” Seeing the three newly appeared Demon Saints rushing towards Yang Kai, Duan Hongchen hurriedly said. If Wu Kuang was at his peak strength, perhaps he wouldn’t be afraid of these three puppet Demon Saints joining forces, but after all, he was only relying on his own body to recover and couldn’t be compared to when he was at his peak.
“What’s there to panic about?” Wu Kuang sneered, “That kid seems to have a trump card!”
Looking around, Yang Kai didn’t panic as much as he had imagined, but instead wore a calm expression.
As soon as his voice fell, one of the three figures suddenly let out a muffled groan before her eyes rolled back and she fainted, falling from the sky.
Even Wu Kuang, who had lived for tens of thousands of years and had seen many things, was shocked by this scene and couldn’t help asking, “What is going on?”
In that instant of unconsciousness, the figure falling from the sky was no ordinary woman, but one of the Demon Saints of the Demon Territory.
How could a Demon Saint pass out for no reason? Yang Kai must have used some kind of mysterious method, but he didn’t see any signs of him attacking!
Three Demon Saints had suddenly appeared at this critical moment, but one of them had been directly crippled… Such a situation was simply inconceivable.
Just as he was confused, he heard Great Demon God’s angry roar, “Soul Brand! You actually planted a Soul Brand in her Knowledge Sea!”
Wu Kuang’s expression instantly became extremely brilliant as he stared at Yang Kai in shock. For a moment, this boy was simply too amazing!
One had to know that Yang Kai had just broken through to the Great Emperor Realm and was only a High-Rank Demon King before.
High Rank Demon King could actually plant a Soul Brand on a Demon Saint’s Knowledge Sea and control their freedom and life and death.
How had Yang Kai done this? Wu Kuang admitted that he was also a peerless genius that only appeared once every ten thousand years, otherwise he would not have been able to create such a heaven-defying cultivation method like the Heaven Devourer Battle Law. On the path of his growth, crossing realms to fight was a common occurrence, killing powerful enemies was as easy as crushing ten fingers, but when he thought back to his life in the Star Boundary, he had never accomplished such a feat as Yang Kai.
A Demon Saint’s status and strength were equivalent to a Great Emperor’s, when Wu Kuang was still a Third-Order Emperor Realm master, how could he have the ability to plant a Soul Brand on a Great Emperor’s Knowledge Sea?
If he really did that, he would definitely suffer a fatal backlash.
Wu Kuang clicked his tongue in wonder.
Yang Kai had never thought that the Soul Brand he had planted in Bei Limo’s Knowledge Sea would be effective at such a time. When he was a High-Rank Demon King, even with the Soul Brand, Yang Kai was unable to control Bei Limo’s life and death. At most, he could only use the Soul Brand to cause her some pain, but because of this, he had forced Bei Limo to submit to him.
However, now that Yang Kai had the power of a Great Emperor, he truly had the ability to kill Bei Limo with a single thought. However, Bei Limo’s rebellion was not her original intention, so Yang Kai could only make her faint. As for whether or not she would suffer any injuries or repercussions, time was of the essence, and with the enemy in front of him, Yang Kai couldn’t care less.
The moment Bei Limo fell unconscious, Yang Kai looked at the other graceful figure and roared, “Rumeng!”
A sorrowful voice rang out from the depths of Yu Rumeng’s heart, causing a ripple to appear in her blinded heart. Yu Rumeng’s hands paused for a moment as a look of struggle flashed across her empty eyes…
However, that was all. As soon as she heard Yang Kai’s voice in her muddled state, she instinctively reacted, but as a member of the Demon Race, she was unable to escape the Great Demon God’s grasp.
Wu Kuang once again blocked the attack, not even turning his head as he said, “Boy, if you have any trump cards, hurry up and use them. If you’re late, I’m afraid you won’t have a chance.”
Yang Kai’s mouth was filled with bitterness, “What other trump cards do I have?”
Being able to make Bei Limo faint was already a stroke of luck, thanks to the Soul Brand he had planted all those years ago. Although he and Yu Rumeng were also connected by the Heart Seal Secret Technique, it was still incomparable to a Soul Brand. In a situation where one’s mind was blinded, the Heart Seal Secret Technique wouldn’t be of much use unless Yu Rumeng was greatly stimulated and could recover on her own. This kind of stimulation was something Yang Kai couldn’t do.
Wu Kuang grinned maliciously, “Then it’s up to this old master!”
As soon as he finished speaking, his expression suddenly became fierce, “Ignorant juniors, do you really think this king can’t do anything to you? When this king swept through the world, you were all still drinking milk!”
With a shake of his arms, the force that could devour everything appeared again and he faced the two Demon Saints alone.
Yang Kai hurriedly said, “Don’t hurt-… kill that woman!”
“Get lost!” Wu Kuang ignored him. In a life or death battle, holding back against an enemy was the most foolish method.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Wu Kuang fought against two Demon Saints all by himself, but he was not at a disadvantage at all. The shockwaves from the battle swept out, causing the sky to collapse and the earth to shatter.
