The Void trembled as Yang Kai’s vision changed. As the space around him fluctuated, he returned to the Great Ruins Boundary. Looking up, he saw that he was no longer in the sea and was rapidly falling, quickly stabilizing himself.
Blood surged from his chest as he spat out a mouthful of blood, his face pale.
Just now, he had used the power of the Space Spirit Bead to travel through the void, but he had been hindered by the Leviathan Shark, causing him to suffer some damage. However, his injuries weren’t serious, so he only needed a day or two to recover.
Looking around, he saw that this place was filled with giant trees, each one a thousand feet tall, scattered and rooted, with a continuous canopy.
Yang Kai couldn’t help feeling a lingering fear in his heart. Although he knew that the Great Ruins Boundary wasn’t as simple as he had imagined, he hadn’t expected there to be a Holy Spirit in the Sea Clan.
Leviathan Shark! This thing had the bloodline of Kun Peng and Sea Shark, and Kun Peng was the sworn enemy of the Dragon Race. Yang Kai estimated that if he fell into the hands of this Leviathan Shark, he would definitely die a miserable death.
If others couldn’t sense the bloodline aura in his body, the Leviathan Shark would definitely be able to.
The Leviathan Shark’s strength was extremely tyrannical, even interrupting the transmission of the Space Spirit Bead, causing his positioning to fail and causing everyone else to be swallowed up by the Void Crack.
He didn’t know how they were doing right now.
Because he had asked Xu Zhen to set up a grand array in Star City, Yang Kai had exchanged contact details with Xu Zhen.
Yang Kai quickly took out his communication bead and contacted Xu Zhen. A moment later, Xu Zhen sent him a message, indicating that he was still safe, but he didn’t know where he was.
Yang Kai couldn’t help feeling relieved and asked him to inquire about the situation of the others. Xu Zhen readily agreed.
After searching around for a while, he landed on the ground and found a tree hole to hide in while he adjusted his breathing and waited for news.
After about half an hour, Xu Zhen sent a message over. Qu Huachang, Gu Pan, and Ning Daoran were still alive, but like them, after being swallowed by the Void Crack, they had been randomly sent to a place in the Great Ruins Boundary and had no idea where they were.
Only Lin Feng could not be contacted, whether he was alive or dead is unknown.
Hearing that Gu Pan was still alive, Yang Kai relaxed.
After a brief exchange with Xu Zhen, Yang Kai agreed to meet in Scarlet Star City before putting away his communication bead and focusing on healing his injuries while checking his gains.
His consciousness sank into the Mysterious Small World and transformed into a Soul Avatar.
As soon as he appeared, Yang Kai couldn’t help shivering, feeling that the Mysterious Small World had never been so cold before. Looking up, he saw a round moon hanging high in the sky, emitting a cold light.
“Master, Master, something big has happened! There’s suddenly a new moon here!” Mu Zhu and Mu Lu flapped their little wings and ran over, shouting in panic.
The two of them had always stayed in the Mysterious Small World to take care of the herbs in the medicine garden, so they could be considered the only companions Yang Kai had left with.
Earlier, they had been taking care of the medicine garden when they suddenly saw a full moon slowly rise into the sky, giving them a fright.
“En, that’s not a moon!” Yang Kai replied, feeling quite puzzled. How did the Ice Soul Cold Moon Bead become a full moon here?
From this, it could be seen that although the Ice Soul Cold Moon Bead was not the moon, it was likely related to it.
Two Wood Spirits flew onto his shoulders, one on each side. Mu Lu asked curiously, “If it’s not the moon, what is it?”
“I don’t know what it is either,” Yang Kai shook his head. He had never seen this thing before, and even a few disciples from Cave Heaven and Paradise couldn’t tell its origins. Perhaps he could ask the Proprietress about it later.
Mu Zhu, who was relatively calm, frowned and said, “Whether it’s the moon or not, it’s too cold. If you don’t think of a way, everything in the medicine garden will freeze to death. Mu Lu and I will also freeze to death.”
Tears streamed down Mu Lu’s face, “I don’t want to freeze to death!”
Yang Kai turned his head and saw that there was indeed something wrong with the herbs in the medicine garden. One by one, the herbs were covered in frost and had lost their medicinal properties.
He was the master of the Mysterious Small World and could control everything here. The many barriers in the Mysterious Small World's herb garden were all condensed from the power of the entire world, making it difficult for ordinary forces to corrode them. The fact that this moonlight could affect the things in the medicine garden showed just how astonishing its power was.
“Don’t worry, I’ll just reinforce the restrictions of the Medicine Garden,” Yang Kai immediately did as he thought, using his body and mind to communicate with the Mysterious Small World and using the World Energy to strengthen the layers of restrictions, allowing the Medicine Garden to restore itself.
However, he soon frowned because he could clearly feel that the many barriers he had set up were still being slowly corroded by the moonlight. It would likely be broken in less than a year.
“You have to call me once every half a year. The restrictions here must be constantly reinforced.”
Mu Zhu nodded, “I’ll remember.”
Yang Kai looked up at the round moon again, slowly shook his head, and left the Mysterious Small World.
At the same time, above the sea, Lin Feng’s figure transformed into a streak of light and fled a hundred kilometers away in the blink of an eye, cutting through the sea’s surface.
Suddenly, Lin Feng stopped in his tracks and stared forward in horror.
A thousand kilometers in front of him, a powerful figure stood in mid-air, staring towards him with a cold expression, his gaze like two bolts of lightning piercing into the depths of Lin Feng’s heart.
Lin Feng’s expression changed and without even thinking about it, he quickly retreated.
“You think you can escape?” The figure coldly snorted, stretching out his hand and grabbing towards Lin Feng.
Even though they were separated by a thousand kilometers, Lin Feng was unable to resist and could only feel his body tighten as he was grabbed by a large blue hand.
When he looked over again, the figure had already arrived in front of him and was grinning maliciously, “How do you want to die?”
“Leviathan Shark!” Lin Feng’s face instantly paled. How could he not know that this person was the thousand zhang Leviathan Shard from before? Unlike all the other Sea Race he had seen on the island, this Leviathan Shard had completely transformed into a human form, and from its appearance, it was no different from a human, without the slightest trace of a Monster Beast.
“It's this king!” The Leviathan Shark grinned, revealing a mouthful of jagged fangs, “A few little insects actually dare to steal my clan’s Sacred Object, they’re quite bold.”
“The thing is not with me, it’s useless even if you kill me.” Lin Feng swallowed his saliva.
Leviathan Shark grinned maliciously, “I’ve waited for you for so many years, how could I bear to kill you? However, even if you can escape death, you can’t escape punishment!” Saying so, he opened his mouth and swallowed Lin Feng whole.
After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, he opened his mouth again and spat out Lin Feng, but at this moment, the True Martial Cave Heaven's disciple eyes became unfocused, as if he had experienced a great terror, his body trembling uncontrollably.
“Where is the person who stole the Moon Essence? Bring me to him,” Leviathan Shark looked at Lin Feng and ordered.
Lin Feng couldn’t help nodding as he led the Leviathan Shark towards Scarlet Star City.
Along the way, they came across a few human strongholds. The Leviathan Shark opened its mouth and swallowed all of the humans, chewing them up and letting out miserable cries while wearing a satisfied expression.
Wherever he went, a bloody storm would follow. Lin Feng’s eyes were filled with hatred as he tried to resist, but he was easily suppressed by this Leviathan Shark. Strangely though, although this Leviathan Shark did not treat him well, it had no intention of killing him.
Recalling what the Leviathan Shark had said before, Lin Feng couldn’t help making a bold guess.
After passing through another Human Race stronghold, the Leviathan Shark did the same and arrived above the stronghold in a flash, transforming into a thousand zhang long true body that covered the sky.
This human stronghold wasn’t very big and only had a few thousand people living here, so when they suddenly saw a giant monster appear, all of them were shocked and quickly activated their Artifacts.
However, how could their methods hurt the Leviathan Shark? The Leviathan Shark opened its bloody mouth and a terrifying suction force came from it. The thousands of people in the stronghold, regardless of their cultivation or strength, all involuntarily rushed towards the mouth.
At this moment, Lin Feng shouted, “Leviathan Shark, look here!”
As he spoke, he raised his two blades and slashed towards his neck, the other stabbing towards his heart.
Two streaks of blade light flashed across the sky, showing no mercy as he attempted to kill himself.
Just before Lin Feng’s death, the Leviathan Shark appeared in front of him and with a flick of its finger, the two blades were sent flying. The Leviathan Shark lifted Lin Feng up and stared at him coldly, “Boy, what are you doing?”
Lin Feng’s appearance was miserable, but he still grinned and laughed wildly, “So that’s how it is. It turns out that what was recorded in the ancient records is true. You are looking for a Bearer, so I am your Bearer, right?”
Leviathan Shark coldly snorted, “This Junior knows quite a bit, what else do you know?”
“I know a lot,” Lin Feng said proudly, “I know you won’t let me die. If I die, you’ll have to find someone else, but there aren’t many things that can meet the requirements of an existence like you. I might as well tell you that I’m a True Martial Cave Heaven Disciple. In the Great Ruins Boundary, there are less than five people whose strength can match mine. If I die, I’m afraid you’ll have a headache.”
“So you’re a Cave Heaven's Disciple, no wonder you know about the Bearer. Is this information left behind by your ancestors?” The Leviathan Shark coldly snorted, seemingly knowing about the existence of Cave Heaven.
Lin Feng replied, “My True Martial Cave Heaven's 27th Sect Master once came to the Great Ruins Boundary and left behind some records about this place.”
Leviathan Shark nodded, “Since you know, then obediently cooperate with me and I’ll reward you handsomely.”
Lin Feng proudly declared, “I, Lin Feng, have relied on myself all my life, so why would I need others to give me benefits?”
Leviathan Shark narrowed his eyes slightly, a thick murderous intent flashing across them.
Lin Feng stared back at him fearlessly.
After a long time, Leviathan Shark let out a cold snort and tossed him aside, his hands clasped behind his back as he said, “Let’s not beat around the bush. Since you know about the matter of the Bearer, you should cooperate with me. Otherwise, I don’t mind killing you. I don’t mind telling you that my goal is not you, but that little brat who stole the Moon Essence. He is much stronger than you.”
A trace of indignation flashed across Lin Feng’s eyes. Xu Zhen had previously said that his ability was inferior to Yang Kai’s, but now that this Leviathan Shark had also said so, Lin Feng couldn’t help feeling a strong desire.
However, now was not the time to be fussing over this. Lin Feng rubbed his neck and said, “It’s not impossible to cooperate with you, but you must not devour my Human Race! Otherwise, even if I die, I won’t take you to him!”
