However, it was the same for the Great Emperors. The previous joint attack had nearly exhausted all of their minds.
No one knew what the outcome of this battle would be until the final moment, but judging from the current situation, no matter who won, they would have to pay a huge price.
Heaven and earth collapsed as the Spiritual Energy became chaotic and the energy became violent. One figure after another rushed towards the Great Demon God, but they were all knocked back before they rushed forward again, their blood dying the world red.
…
Floating in the void, Yang Kai fell into an extremely strange state, as if he had broken free from some kind of invisible shackle. His entire being was filled with a deep sense of tranquility. Without the pain from before, without any sense of perception, he wanted to clench his fists, but found that he was unable to do so. Even if he wanted to move his head, there was nothing he could do.
Suddenly, he discovered that his body had disappeared…
Suddenly remembering that he had brought the severed hand into this Void Crack, he had received a violent shock, which had led to this situation.
What was this? Was he crushed to pieces? Yang Kai was stunned.
No, he didn’t want to become the shortest lived Great Emperor in the history of the Star Boundary. He had only recently become a Great Emperor, he was still very young, he still had a lot of time to squander.
When he felt the great danger contained within the broken palm, his mind became clear and he only had one thought in his mind: quickly take the broken palm away, otherwise a great disaster would definitely descend upon the Star Boundary.
However, when this result was presented to him, Yang Kai almost couldn’t accept it.
Did he regret it? He asked himself, but he didn’t regret it too much. If it had happened again, even if he had known this would happen, he would have made the same choice.
In that world, there were people who cared about him, and people who regarded him as the most important person in their lives. For those people, what did it matter if he was torn to pieces?
But if he had really been smashed to pieces, what was happening now? His physical body had been shattered but his Soul had not been destroyed? But if his physical body had been destroyed by that broken palm, how could his Soul remain unscathed?
At this moment, Yang Kai clearly felt that his Soul had not suffered any damage and was still intact.
Next, he discovered that his Soul wasn’t floating in the void, but was instead hiding inside a seven colored lotus flower’s stamen. The petals wrapped around him, isolating him from all dangers.
Soul Warming Lotus!
Suddenly understanding, Yang Kai realized that it was the Soul Warming Lotus that had protected his Soul from the terrifying impact, allowing him to survive. This Soul Warming Lotus was a priceless treasure of Heavens and Earth, and Yang Kai had obtained it when he was very weak and stored it in his Knowledge Sea. Over the years, the Soul Warming Lotus had constantly nourished his Soul, allowing him to not need to do anything special, allowing his Soul to improve at an incredible speed. The Soul Warming Lotus was a World Treasure for the Divine Soul, so it was not surprising for it to protect his Soul at a critical moment.
Realizing this, Yang Kai felt relieved.
As long as his Soul wasn’t destroyed, even if his physical body was destroyed, it wouldn’t be too terrifying. At worst, he would just be like the Great Demon God, finding a body to possess and then starting over again.
However, this was the Void Crack, and apart from him, it was likely that very few people would come here, much less talk about seizing body. This was a bit difficult, as he had lost his physical body and many of his abilities, even if he wanted to leave this Void Crack, there was nothing he could do.
How was the situation in the Star Boundary? The Great Demon God should be unable to hold on for much longer, he didn’t know if the remaining people could kill the Great Demon God or what kind of price they would have to pay.
Thinking too much, Yang Kai couldn’t be bothered to think about it anymore. After losing his physical body and only having his Divine Soul left, his entire body seemed to have become lazy, and even though he had lost his body, there was still a warm feeling surrounding him, making him feel like he had returned home.
Sleeping here seemed like a good choice…
Thinking so, his thoughts gradually came to a halt, as if he was about to fall into an eternal slumber.
Suddenly, a series of tear-stained faces flashed in front of Yang Kai’s eyes, causing him to suddenly wake up as a great fear filled his heart.
How were Su Yan and the others now? They should have seen his situation and were probably all heartbroken. If he couldn’t go back, how sad would they be?
He had to go back! Even if he didn’t have a physical body, he had to go back and tell them that he was safe. As long as he could go back, he could ask Wondrous Pill Great Emperor to help him refine a Fresh Body Pill.
In the past, Tian Yan also did not have a physical body, and it was thanks to the Fresh Body Pill that he was able to shape his body. If he could, then so could he! As for the Fresh Body Fruit required to refine the Fresh Body Pill, he temporarily did not have one, but in his Mysterious Small World Medicine Garden, there was a fruit tree. Back then, he had brought that fruit tree into the Medicine Garden, and as long as he waited a few more years, it would eventually bloom and bear fruit.
Thinking of this, Yang Kai was stunned. Where was the Mysterious Boundary Bead?
All this time, the Mysterious Boundary Bead had been stored in his body, and now that his entire body had been smashed to pieces, the Mysterious Boundary Bead’s situation was probably not good, perhaps even shattering along with his body.
Thinking so, Yang Kai panicked and quickly scanned his surroundings.
Sweeping his Divine Sense across the void, Yang Kai found that it was filled with torn flesh and broken limbs, as well as a large amount of golden blood. The sight of his body being torn to pieces was truly ugly, causing Yang Kai’s heart to sink.
He didn’t see any traces of the Mysterious Boundary Bead’s destruction here. The territory inside the Mysteerious Boundary Bead was incomparably large, so if it had really been destroyed, there would definitely be many traces of the Mysterious Boundary Bead in the Starry Sky. Since he didn’t see any, it meant that the Mysterious Boundary Bead should be fine.
As long as the Mysterious Boundary Bead was fine, everything would be fine, which could be considered a blessing in disguise.
Relying on the invisible connection he had with the Mysterious Boundary Bead, Yang Kai quickly found the Mysterious Boundary Bead in the void. It wasn’t too far from him, so Yang Kai focused his attention on the Mysterious Boundary Bead. With a thought, the Mysterious Boundary Bead flew over and fell into the Soul Warming Lotus.
Transforming into a Soul Avatar, Yang Kai picked up the Mysterious Boundary Bead and gave it a big kiss, sighing at the blessings of the Heavens. However, the Mysterious Boundary Bead being able to remain safe and sound was not a fluke. This thing had been stored inside his body all this time, and with the explosion of that severed palm, it had shattered his physical body and consumed a lot of its strength, so there shouldn’t be many things that could be used on the Mysterious Boundary Bead.
The Soul Warming Lotus and the Mysterious Boundary Bead were two treasures that had accompanied him on his path of growth, neither of which could be discarded.
Yang Kai couldn’t care less about the situation outside, nor did he have the ability to care about it, so he simply tossed everything aside and thought about his future path.
The urgent matter at hand was to investigate the situation of the Fresh Body Fruit tree. The growth period of this fruit was extremely long, and Yang Kai didn’t want to wait a thousand or ten thousand years for it to mature. If he really couldn’t, he could only ask the two little Wood Spirits to find a way to mature it. With their abilities, it should be possible.
With a thought, his Soul Avatar entered the Mysterious Small World and appeared inside the medicine garden.
Hearing some sound, Mu Zhu and Mu Lu came over and bowed, “Master!”
They didn’t find it strange at all. Yang Kai had often entered the medicine garden with his Soul Avatar, so they were already used to it. They never expected that even if Yang Kai wanted to enter with his physical body, he wouldn’t be able to.
Yang Kai nodded with a solemn look on his face, “Your Master is in trouble, a huge trouble. As the saying goes, a thousand days to raise an army is equivalent to using it for a single day. Now is the time to use you two.”
Mu Zhu and Mu Lu glanced at each other before the former said, “Master, you’ve never raised us before…” The two of them had always been busy in the medicine garden, and unless Yang Kai needed them, he would never come. Ever since the two little Wood Spirits had followed him, they had been like two laborers, and whenever Yang Kai was injured, they would always help him heal.
Yang Kai’s Soul Avatar didn’t blush as he raised his hand and said, “Now, only the two of you can help me.”
“Whatever Master wants us to do, just say the word!” The simple Mu Lu was excited by Yang Kai’s words and clenched her small fists tightly, looking like she was ready to fight to the death. Mu Zhu, on the other hand, put her hand on her forehead and shook her head.
“I was beaten to death!” Yang Kai looked at them solemnly.
Mu Zhu blinked her eyes, but Mu Lu’s eyes suddenly turned red as she asked nervously, “Ah? Then what should we do? Master, are you alright?”
Mu Zhu slapped her on the back of her head and reprimanded, “Do you believe everything others say? Can you grow some brains?”
“But, but… Master was killed!” Mu Lu couldn’t stop her tears from flowing.
Mu Zhu was exasperated, “If he had died, how could he have come here to talk to you?”
Mu Lu was stunned for a moment before finally coming back to her senses and jumping up and down, “That’s right, that’s right…” Turning to look at Yang Kai, she asked, “Master, are you joking?”
“I also want to joke with you, but right now I really don’t have the mood,” Yang Kai shrugged his shoulders, “I’ll say it again, I was beaten to death.”
Mu Zhu frowned and sized him up, “Are you serious?”
“How could it be fake?”
“Then you…”
“This King has the protection of the Soul Warming Lotus, so even if my physical body is destroyed, my Soul will not die!” Yang Kai waved his hand and a scene appeared in the void. Seeing the torn flesh and broken limbs all over the place, the two little wood spirits’ faces suddenly paled, realizing that Yang Kai was not joking.
This guy in front of him had really been crushed to deaath!
“Master… does it hurt?” Mu Lu’s tears began to flow again, the tragic scene causing her heart felt chills, not to mention Yang Kai, who was in it before.
“What do you want us to do?” Mu Zhu’s expression also became serious. The destruction of one’s physical body was not a small matter. If it was anyone else, they would have already died. Only Yang Kai, with the protection of the Soul Warming Lotus, was in a relatively good situation.
“Fresh Body Fruit!” Yang Kai stared straight into her eyes, “I need to find someone to help me refine the Fresh Body Pill.”
Mu Zhu said, “That thing need to undergone a thousand years of growth, a thousand years to bear fruits, and a thousand years to ripen. It hasn’t been long since you last plucked a fruit, so you should at least wait three thousand years…”
