Yue He secretly gritted her teeth, wishing she could slap Ding Yi to death, but she also knew that she didn’t have the ability to do so in the Great Ruins Boundary. From the way Ding Yi fought with the old man surnamed Kang just now, she could tell that Ding Yi’s strength was not weak among the Emperor Realm, so it was impossible for her to take him down with her current strength.
Ding Yi pointed his long saber over and said aggressively, “Whether you stay or fight, Madam will decide!”
Yue He glared at him hatefully before turning to look at Yang Kai, a trace of desire flashing across her beautiful eyes.
Yang Kai just smiled and looked at her indifferently. To him, Yue He was an enemy, not a friend. It was already a great kindness for him not to add insult to injury, so how could he care about her life or death?
“Good luck!” Disappointment flashed across Yue He’s eyes as her figure flickered and she quickly flew out of the Star City.
Ding Yi stared at her coldly, not showing any intention of pursuing her. The Third Order Open Heaven Stage Old Man Kang was able to escape from the encirclement of so many people, so the Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage Yue He naturally had this ability, so he couldn’t be bothered to waste any more time.
Turning his head, he stared deeply at Yang Kai.
Yang Kai shrugged, “I have a grudge with her!”
“That’s for the best!” Ding Yi snorted and turned around to face the crowd of cultivators, shouting, “Today, I, Ding Yi, wish to establish Emperor Heaven here, the Emperor Realm as the Heavens. This Broken Star City is my Emperor Heaven's headquarters in the Great Ruins Boundary. Anyone who wishes to join can stay here and live and die with us brothers. We will share blessings and suffer hardships together. If anyone is unwilling, please leave quickly. If there are any outsiders here before tomorrow, don’t blame me for being merciless!”
As he spoke, he slashed down with his blade, causing the ground to crack.
Yang Kai frowned. This Ding Yi seemed to be quite a character, actually taking advantage of this opportunity to raise a flag and gather people. It had to be said that this was a very smart decision. This time, the opening of the Great Ruins Boundary was completely different from before. There were simply too many people here, so it would be difficult for them to fight alone. If they could gather some people, it would be much more convenient.
However, from the meaning of his words, it seemed that if he wanted to occupy this dilapidated Star City, it would definitely arouse the ire of many people, especially those Open Heaven Stage masters who were still hidden in the Star City. But then again, if this Emperor Heaven could be established, after experiencing a few more trials and tribulations, the hearts of the people would become useful.
“Emperor Heaven!”
“We share both fortune and misfortune together!”
Contrary to Yang Kai’s expectations, as soon as Ding Yi finished speaking, several dozen people began to shout, and the number of people continued to increase.
Yang Kai was stunned.
He hadn’t been here for long, and besides the time he spent as a servant in the Seven Skillful Land, he had lived quite comfortably in the First Inn, so he couldn’t quite understand the status of the Emperor Realm masters in the Three Thousand Worlds.
However, thinking about Luo Haiyi, if Luo Haiyi were here, she would also be attracted by Emperor Heaven's philosophy. Thinking about this, Yang Kai felt relieved.
With such a rare opportunity to make a comeback, how could these Emperor Realm not seize it?
With each wave of cheers, the number of people gradually increased to a hundred, then to several hundreds…
Ding Yi’s face was flushed red as he raised the long saber in his hand and looked down at the familiar or unfamiliar faces below, his heart filled with high spirits.
As the saying goes, when the sea flows, heroes will appear; when the world is in chaos, heroes will emerge!
At this moment, two figures suddenly flew over from the distance.
Yang Kai turned his head and saw that these two people were the old man surnamed Kang and Yue He who had just left. He didn’t know what they were thinking, but they had actually returned, and their expressions were extremely solemn, as if something big had happened.
“Old dog, how dare you come back!” Ding Yi also noticed the old man surnamed Kang and laughed loudly, “You can use your head as a sacrifice to my Emperor Heaven's flag!”
Unexpectedly, the old man surnamed Kang ignored him and continued to flee, leaving Ding Yi stunned.
Yue He rushed to Yang Kai’s side, grabbed him, and shouted, “Run!”
Yang Kai frowned slightly, but just as he was about to say something, he felt the earth tremble. The initial tremors weren’t violent, but soon he heard a rumbling sound, as if muffled thunder was rumbling.
Yang Kai’s expression changed slightly as he faintly sensed something. Looking up, he saw a black mass of things rushing towards him at a speed not much slower than Old Man Kang and Yue He.
This stretch of darkness seemed to have no end, covering the sky and earth. Shockingly, it was a strange beast of different shapes and sizes.
He didn’t know if Yue He and Old Man Kang had been chased back or if they had been deliberately lured here.
This was especially true for the group of mutated beasts leading the group. They were extremely large and had a terrifying aura, causing even Yang Kai’s expression to change slightly.
How could he dare hesitate? Following Yue He’s figure, he flew off into the distance.
The Star City suddenly became chaotic.
Ding Yi also stared with his eyes wide open, his heart turning cold. He had thought that this was a great opportunity to make a name for himself, but who would have thought that as soon as he pulled up this flag, he would suffer such a calamity? He didn’t even know if he could leave this place alive.
However, his temperament was firm, and he quickly made up his mind. Waving his hand, he shouted, “The Beast Tide is coming, we can only hope to survive by banding together. If you don’t want to die, then follow me!” As he shouted, he summoned his strength and charged towards the opposite direction of the Beast Tide.
As soon as he moved, many people followed him. A rough estimate showed that there were at least a thousand people.
Although the hundreds of thousands of people in Star City had been dispersed by the Great Ruins Fog, there were still tens of thousands gathered here.
If everyone worked together, they might be able to defend this place, but these tens of thousands of people all had different thoughts, so how could they have a unified command? Therefore, before the Beast Tide arrived, everyone dispersed.
The beast tide’s disturbance was too great, and soon everyone in the Star City learned of it and fled.
Yang Kai and Yue He rushed all the way to the other end of the Star City, thinking that they would be able to fly freely from here, but unexpectedly, the cultivators on the other side rushed over and many of them collided in mid-air before falling to the ground.
Yang Kai suddenly had a bad feeling!
Looking up, his eyes narrowed.
Yue He also exclaimed, “There’s one here too!”
It was no wonder the people from the other side would rush over here. It turned out that there was also a Beast Tide coming from the other side.
Yang Kai frowned and flew straight up into the sky. Looking around, he couldn’t help feeling a little annoyed. Not only was there a Beast Tide coming from all directions, but this Star City was completely surrounded by strange beasts.
If he wanted to leave this place, he had to kill his way out.
After he landed, Yue He asked, “How is it?”
Yang Kai slowly shook his head.
Yue He understood what he meant and didn’t seem nervous as she looked at him and said, “Don’t get too far from me, otherwise I won’t be able to see you.”
Hearing this, Yang Kai’s expression became strange, but after a moment of silence, he decided not to use his Space Laws to escape.
A figure approached, it was the old man surnamed Kang who had escaped together with Yue He, “Madam, should we join forces and kill our way out?”
Yue He smiled lightly, “That’s the only way.”
The old man surnamed Kang glanced at Yang Kai and frowned, “You want to bring this burden with you?” The reason he had sought out Yue He was because he knew that Yue He was an Open Heaven Stage cultivator. Even though the small universe world in the body is suppressed and sealed, the strength of an Open Heaven Stage cultivator was still a bit stronger. What use could an Emperor Realm cultivator like Yang Kai have against this Beast Tide? He would only be a burden to the two of them.
“This is my family’s Young Master, of course I have to protect him!” Yue He’s smile faded, “If you think my family’s Young Master will implicate you, you don’t need to join forces.”
Hearing this, Old Man Kang was shocked.
He had been in the Star City for a long time and had met Yue He before, so he knew that she was a Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator, so how could she call him Young Master?
Yang Kai’s expression became even stranger as he thought to himself, Is this woman crazy? Do I look like a young master from some great force?
Recalling the Beast Tide attack and how she had immediately brought him back, Yang Kai couldn’t understand what she was thinking.
Without any hesitation, the old man surnamed Kang said, “Then I’ll follow Madam’s wishes, but this old master can only take care of himself. If Madam encounters any danger later, please don’t complain.”
Yue He said, “Rest assured, I won’t drag you down.”
“Let’s go!” The old man surnamed Kang shouted and rushed forward.
“Follow!” Yue He also urged Yang Kai to follow.
In the blink of an eye, the group of three had rushed out of the Star City. At this moment, many people were also rushing out. Everyone knew that if they continued to stay here, they could only wait for death. If they wanted to live, they could only kill their way out.
The overwhelming tide of beasts quickly collided with the many cultivators, and in an instant, the light of Secret Techniques and artifacts blossomed as the corpses of the beasts were separated, mixed with cries of pain.
There were quite a number of these strange beasts, and what was even more terrifying was that all of them had extraordinary strength. The environment of the Great Ruins Boundary was quite good, and no one had disturbed them for thousands of years. These beasts were able to grow safely here, so their strength naturally wouldn’t be too bad. After a series of attacks, the Star City’s cultivators suffered countless casualties. Although many of them had been killed, in the face of such a massive Beast Tide, it was nothing.
The old man surnamed Kang’s strength was extraordinary, and the only reason he had to escape was because two fists couldn’t fight against four hands. At this moment, with his long sword opening a path, he exerted his strength and forcefully opened a path through the Beast Tide.
Yue He held a red diamond in her hand and crushed the attacking beasts into dust.
Yang Kai followed behind the two Open Heaven Stage masters as if he was strolling through a garden. Yue He had taken care of him so well that not a single mutated beast could reach him.
A moment later, the old man surnamed Kang shouted, “Change!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he took a step back and Yue He took the opportunity to step forward. Although the two of them didn’t discuss anything, they perfectly switched positions.
After all, the old man surnamed Kang couldn’t bear to stand in front for a long time. Once his strength was exhausted, he would definitely die without a complete corpse, so how could he do such a thing?
This time, Yang Kai wasn’t so relaxed. Old Man Kang didn’t take care of Yang Kai like Yue He did. Although he had killed many of the surrounding beasts, there were still some who had escaped.
