“Impossible!” Lu Xue couldn’t help crying out. If Yang Kai had caused such a scene here, she could still accept it. After all, she had personally witnessed Yang Kai’s terrifying abilities, but how could a Beast Tide be so powerful?
It wasn’t that the Sword Pavilion hadn’t encountered a Beast Tide before, but no matter how big or small the Beast Tide was, it was easily repelled. The Sword Pavilion’s foundation was extraordinary, and with the help of a Sword Array and a protective Array, an ordinary Beast Tide wouldn’t be able to shake the foundation of the Sword Pavilion.
Yang Kai replied lightly, “Nothing is impossible.”
After collecting a day’s worth of Space Rings and observing for a day, Yang Kai was almost certain that the Sword Pavilion had encountered a Beast Tide. There were many footprints of ferocious beasts on the ground, as well as the remains of some ferocious beasts in the Star City.
On top of that, the Space Ring had not been looted by anyone, which clearly proved his thought.
“Who is this person?” Yang Kai looked at the middle-aged man’s corpse and asked.
“The Pavilion Master!” Lu Xue replied blankly.
“This person is the Sword Pavilion’s Pavilion Master?” Yang Kai’s eyes narrowed. Although he had felt that this person’s bearing was extraordinary and should have an extraordinary background, he hadn’t expected him to be the Sword Pavilion’s Pavilion Master. “What was his cultivation when he was alive?”
Lu Xue said in a trembling voice, “Lord Pavilion Master’s cultivation is at the Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage and his cultivation is at the realm perfection, how… how could he have died here?”
“Sixth Order!” Yang Kai was also shocked.
He wasn’t afraid of a Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage master. In the Great Ruins Boundary, a Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage could only display a limited amount of strength, so if he were to really face it head-on, with his current strength, it was still unknown who would win.
What shocked him was that a Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage had actually died here.
Sixth Order had its own foundation, so even if he couldn’t defeat the Beast Tide, he could still escape. But looking at the death of the Sword Pavilion's Master and the traces of battle in the hall, it seemed like he didn’t have much ability to resist before being killed. In other words, the strength of the one who killed him was far greater than his own.
Yang Kai felt a chill in his heart.
Was there such a powerful existence in the Great Ruins Boundary?
Moreover, this Sword Pavilion's Master didn’t have a single wound on his body, so it was impossible to tell how he died. It didn’t seem like he was killed by a Monster Beast.
“They’re all dead, they’re all dead!” Lu Xue turned her head and saw that in the main hall, besides the Pavilion Master’s corpse, all of the Sword Pavilion’s higher-ups were gathered here. Almost all of them had been wiped out here, including the ones who had been killed by Yang Kai outside Scarlet Star City, she was the only one left alive!
With a ripping sound, Yang Kai took a few steps forward and arrived in front of the Sword Pavilion’s Pavilion Master, tearing off his clothes and staring down at him, his expression couldn’t help trembling.
Originally, he had wanted to investigate the cause of the Sword Pavilion Master’s death, but who would have thought he would see the truth.
On this man’s broad chest, there was a mark in the shape of a spider. The spider was silver in color, and on its back was the mark of a crescent moon. It was extremely lifelike, and as it stretched out its eight legs, silver threads stretched out and covered the Sword Pavilion Master’s body.
“This is…” Yang Kai suddenly found this spider mark somewhat familiar.
Before he could figure out where he had seen this pattern, the spider suddenly jumped out from the Sword Pavilion Master’s chest and pounced towards Yang Kai.
On the side, Lu Xue let out a cry of alarm, obviously frightened as she quickly retreated.
In the blink of an eye, Yang Kai raised his head, wanting to avoid this spider’s attack, but instead, his Soul shook and his vision blurred as a giant eight-legged spider appeared in front of him, its fangs and claws filling his vision and occupying his entire mind. This spider was obviously the enlarged mark on the Sword Pavilion Master’s chest.
The giant mouth opened and bit towards Yang Kai, seemingly wanting to swallow him whole.
This was not a real scene. In Lu Xue’s vision, after the spider mark on the Pavilion Master’s chest jumped out and pounced towards Yang Kai, Yang Kai’s eyes suddenly went blank and at the same time, an incomparably pure Divine Soul force spread out.
The spider was a Divine Soul Divine Ability, and the giant spider Yang Kai saw was just an illusion.
However, even if it was an illusion, if he was swallowed by this spider, it would definitely not end well.
In this life or death crisis, a clear dragon roar rang out and a golden dragon head suddenly appeared behind Yang Kai, roaring as it pounced towards the giant spider.
Dragon Prestige filled the air, filling the Nine Heavens.
With a loud bang, Yang Kai’s Divine Soul shook. By the time Yang Kai came back to his senses, there was no trace of the spider in front of him. The Divine Ability hidden on the Sword Pavilion Master’s body had been shattered by the Dragon Prestige.
“Heavenly Moon Demon Spider!” Yang Kai’s expression became solemn.
He finally remembered why this spider pattern was so familiar, he had seen it before.
On Shan Qingluo!
Shan Qingluo possessed the bloodline of the Heavenly Moon Demon Spider, and in some unknown location in her body, there was such a mark that was almost identical to what he had seen.
The Heavenly Moon Demon Spider was one of the Ancient Holy Spirits. Although its ranking on the Holy Spirit List wasn’t high, it was definitely not low.
There was actually a Holy Spirit in the Great Ruins Boundary?
However, after thinking about the Dragon Bead he had obtained from the Hidden Dragon Mountain, Yang Kai felt relieved. The Great Ruins Boundary was mysterious and unfathomable. Since there was a True Dragon and a Heavenly Moon Demon Spider, what was so strange about it?
From the looks of it, the Sword Pavilion's Master must have been killed by the Heavenly Moon Demon Spider. No wonder he didn’t have much strength to resist. Even with the suppression of a Great Ruins Boundary, the power of a Holy Spirit was not something an ordinary person could resist.
If it were to leave the Great Ruins Boundary and go to the Outer Universe, it would definitely not be inferior to Mie Meng.
Yang Kai’s heart was filled with excitement. Heavenly Moon Demon Spider! If he could kill it and take its Core, wouldn’t Luo'er be able to ascend to the heavens in a single step? When the time came, this Enchantress would be so happy that she would use all her means to serve him.
However, Yang Kai quickly dispelled this idea. It was best not to provoke the Heavenly Moon Demon Spider, lest he end up losing his life and Luo'er become a widow.
“You…” Lu Xue’s shocked voice came from the side as she stared at Yang Kai, her eyes trembling violently.
In that instant just now, she seemed to have seen something incredible, causing her to fall to the ground in shock, forgetting to get up.
Yang Kai glanced at her indifferently and ignored her. He took off the Sword Pavilion Master’s Space Ring and swept it with his Divine Sense, discovering that this guy was really rich.
Inside the Space Ring alone, there were more than a billion Open Heaven Pills, piled up into several small hills, and countless other cultivation resources and artifacts.
After all, he had been the Sword Pavilion's Master for so many years and had made a name for himself in the Star City.
A jade slip caught Yang Kai’s attention and he took it out. Sweeping it with his Divine Sense, Yang Kai frowned.
This jade slip was actually the Starfall Sword Array and the Starry Sky Great Array’s Spirit Array.
This was quite a good thing. Although forming this Spirit Array had strict requirements for the person who set it up and required them to cultivate the Dao of the Sword, if one wanted to set it up, it was naturally not difficult to find people.
Perhaps he could use it in the future.
Just as he was about to put away this jade slip, Yang Kai suddenly felt something and turned his head towards a certain direction.
In that direction, there seemed to be a pair of invisible eyes staring towards him, shuttling through the void and staring at him, causing him to feel a chill run down his spine as if he was being stared at by something bad.
In that direction, in the depths of the mountains and wilds, countless fierce beasts were galloping about. These beasts all had different shapes and forms, some were as tall as mountains and some were as tall as a thousand feet. Each step they took caused the earth to tremble, some were humanoid mutants, there are also weird existences with arms like sickles, running like the wind, although humanoids, staring at the head of a praying mantis. Densely gathered in one place, at this moment, it seemed as if a well-trained army was marching forward quickly to the depths of the great wilderness.
The most eye-catching thing about the Beast Tide was that in the middle of it, there was a giant spider that was moving its eight legs. Although it seemed slow and clumsy, it was actually as fast as lightning.
From time to time, this spider would spit out a strand of spider silk from its mouth and insert it into the body of a Monster Beast, and rolled it into the mouth, swallowing it whole.
On the back of this giant spider, there was a pavilion-like building. The spider was carrying a pavilion on its back, and on top of the pavilion, there was a woman wearing an unusually revealing dress lazily lying on a bamboo chair. This woman’s charm was not inferior to Shan Qingluo’s, she was the kind of beauty that could make any man’s blood boil.
Just as Yang Kai activated his Dragon Prestige to crush the Heavenly Moon Demon Spider’s illusion, the enchanting woman sitting on the bamboo chair suddenly opened her eyes and looked towards Star City. A moment later, she licked her lips and smiled.
This smile caused the world to lose its color, leaving behind only a graceful smile.
Gently clapping her hands, a green figure immediately appeared and half-knelt in front of her.
This figure was a strange man with a human body and two arms that had transformed into giant sickles.
“There’s an interesting fellow coming from the direction we came from. Bring him back and alive.”
The praying mantis nodded before transforming into a streak of green light and leaving!
Inside the Star City, Yang Kai’s brow wrinkled as he carefully tried to sense his surroundings, but he couldn’t sense anything. He couldn’t help feeling suspicious. Could it be that he had consumed too much of his strength in the battle yesterday, causing him to hallucinate?
Yang Kai wanted to leave, but he hadn’t even searched half of the Star City, so he couldn’t find the other half. After a moment of hesitation, Yang Kai collected the Space Rings in the hall, turned around, and entered the Star City, quickly sweeping through them.
No matter what, this was a dangerous place, so he couldn’t stay here for long. He quickly finished plundering and left.
Lu Xue was the only one left in the hall, and it was only after a long time that she slowly came back to her senses. Recently, she had suffered a great loss. First, she had been tormented by Yang Kai, and when she returned to the Sword Pavilion, she found that she was the only one left from the Sword Pavilion. Her heart was filled with sorrow, and she didn’t know what to do next.
Taking out some Spirit Pills, she stuffed them into her mouth, sat down cross-legged, and began meditating. No matter what happened in the future, she had to first recover before making any plans.
