Yang Kai casually tossed the Primordial Binding Dragon Net to Lang Qingshan, who received it and was stunned for a moment before being overjoyed, “This humble subordinate thanks Sir for the reward!”
The others looked on enviously. They had all been bound by this net before, so they naturally knew how powerful this artifact was. They didn’t dare say that it could deal with the Open Heaven Stage cultivator, but at the very least, if they were trapped by this net, they wouldn’t be able to resist.
With this net in hand, anyone would be invincible under the Open Heaven.
However, although they were envious, they couldn’t have any other thoughts. When they were in danger, Lang Qingshan had been the first to rush out, so it was natural for Yang Kai to give reward to him.
“Refine it carefully, this net… En? Be careful!”
Yang Kai suddenly shouted and turned his head, only to see a giant awl spinning towards him from the front of the colorful passage.
This attack came without any warning, and it was after the thin old man had been decapitated. As everyone’s minds relaxed, this attack came, it was obvious that this was a trap.
The giant awl was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it had arrived in front of Yang Kai, causing his face to pale.
Yang Kai, however, took the initiative to take three steps forward and stretched out his hand, the Wood, Fire, Earth, and Water Force filling his hand as he grabbed towards the giant awl.
After grabbing nothing but air, the giant awl actually ignored his attack and easily passed through his body.
“This is…” Yang Kai’s expression changed slightly, but before he could react, he was struck by the giant awl and his entire body shook violently, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth and his face turning pale.
Behind him, the dozen or so people all let out muffled groans as their auras suddenly weakened.
“Divine Ability!” Yang Kai suddenly understood. When he saw the shocking aura of the giant awl, he had thought it was some kind of artifact, but now he understood that it was not a treasure, but a Divine Ability, an extremely sinister Divine Ability.
This Divine Ability was targeting a cultivator’s Dao Seal!
The moment the giant awl hit his body, Yang Kai felt his Dao Seal tremble and the four forces of wood, fire, earth, and water in his Dao Seal suddenly become chaotic. Fortunately, he had been using a portion of his concentration to control the Defying Yin-Yang Five Elements Mysterious Universe Heart Scripture Technique, otherwise, just this alone would have destroyed his foundation.
Fortunately, he had refined quite a bit of Dao Divine Water before, allowing his Dao Seal to become incomparably solid. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Yang Kai’s face suddenly became gloomy as his figure flickered and he instantly disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already several hundred meters away, his fist smashing towards a certain space, causing it to collapse, but there was no one there.
“You’re quite fast!” Yang Kai’s expression became ugly. He had been attacked by the giant awl and had immediately found his way over, but he had not been able to find the person who had attacked him. It was obvious that the person who had attacked him was extremely wary of him and was well aware of his strength. After this attack, whether he succeeded or failed, he would immediately flee.
What annoyed Yang Kai was that he didn’t even know who was attacking him!
Was this person like the thin old man who want to rob him of his wealth, or was he deliberately targeting him?
As his thoughts fluctuated, he faintly felt that the latter possibility was quite high! If he was robbing someone of their wealth, he wouldn’t have immediately fled after just one strike, but this person was obviously deliberately targeting him. However, perhaps he wasn’t targeting him, but the Bearer chosen by all the Holy Spirits!
This guy was also a Bearer! Yang Kai’s heart lit up. He had been lying in ambush here to eliminate some of his opponents.
“Sir!” Lang Qingshan and the others hurried over, their faces filled with shame.
They had only followed Yang Kai into this colorful passage for half a cup of tea’s time, but they had already encountered two waves of attacks. These two waves of attacks were something they're completely useless against, and the first wave was Yang Kai who had turned the tide and killed the thin old man. This time, Yang Kai had been the one to withstand most of the attacks.
As subordinates, Lang Qingshan and the others felt ashamed and uneasy.
The giant awl was a Divine Ability that targeted the Dao Seal, and Yang Kai had withstood most of it, leaving the rest to Lang Qingshan and the others. Although it caused their Dao Seals to tremble, it did not take any of their lives.
Yang Kai glanced at them and immediately understood that their current situation was no longer suitable for them to fight, so he solemnly said, “Relax, I’ll send you to a good place!”
Saying so, he reached out and grabbed them.
Lang Qingshan and the others didn’t understand, but they quickly relaxed.
When Yang Kai’s hand reached out, his field of vision suddenly changed, and when he came to his senses, He discovered that they had arrived at a beautiful place.
All of them looked at each other in confusion. Just as they were wondering where this place was, Yang Kai’s voice rang out, “Take care of yourself.”
The voice was still ringing in their ears, but there was no trace of him.
Lang Qingshan and the others nodded respectfully before quickly sitting down and silently circulating their Secret Arts.
Inside the passage, Yang Kai spat out a mouthful of blood, wiped his mouth, and stepped forward.
The passage was very long, but every so often there would be corpses strewn about. Obviously, some of the cultivators who had entered this place had already started fighting. Yang Kai passed by a few corpses lying on the ground and carefully examined them.
These corpses didn’t have any injuries, and their wealth hadn’t been taken away. Their Space Rings were still in their hands, and their bodies were still warm. Obviously, they had just died.
Sweeping his Divine Sense over these corpses, he discovered that their Dao Seals had all been shattered.
It was the owner of the giant awl's doing!
Yang Kai raised his head and looked towards the front of the passage. Activating his Space Laws, his figure drifted forward as he chased after the giant awl's lead. The owner of this giant awl was definitely one of the Bearer. Perhaps it was because he was proficient in it, or perhaps it was because he had learned this strange method from the Holy Spirit. This method was simply impossible to guard against. Even Yang Kai had almost been hit by it, let alone others. If a cultivator with a weak foundation was hit by this kind of attack, their Dao Seal would instantly shatter and they would die.
He wanted to see just what kind of bastard dared to scheme against him!
As he chased after him, passing by a batchs of cultivators, Yang Kai’s eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly arrived beside a woman.
Before he could say anything, the woman suddenly flicked her hair and the red threads that bound her hair transformed into countless threads that shot towards Yang Kai.
“Senior Sister, please show mercy!” Yang Kai shouted as the Earth Element energy around his body condensed into dragon shields. Each dragon shield's side was formed from the tail of a giant dragon, and the dragon scales on its body were extremely lifelike.
Red threads wrapped around Yang Kai and were blocked by the Dragon Shield.
The woman turned her head and her beautiful eyes lit up, “Little Brother Yang?”
“Senior Sister Qu!” Yang Kai smiled.
This woman was none other than Qu Huachang from Yin-Yang Cave Heaven. She had entered this colorful passage before Yang Kai, but her speed was not fast, so Yang Kai caught up to her here.
“We really are fated to meet,” Qu Huachang smiled. She was more beautiful than a flower, and the red threads were retracted, transforming back into the headband that bound her long hair. She examined Yang Kai from head to toe, her beautiful eyes glowing with a seductive light.
Yang Kai laughed, “Since we’re all going to enter the Unaging Land, we’ll eventually meet. Is Senior Sister Qu alone?”
“How many can there be if not alone?” Qu Huachang smiled at him, “Little Brother Yang, do you want to join me? If we join forces, even if we meet Lin Feng and the others, we can beat them up.”
Yang Kai smiled, “Of course, but if we can find the Innate Fruit Tree…”
Qu Huachang said faintly, “Little Brother Yang is a big man, can’t you just let a weak woman like me have it? Although that Feiyi is ugly, his strength is not bad. I’ve already made an agreement with him that if I can bring him out of the Great Ruins Boundary, he will be my Dao Protector for four hundred years. I really want that Innate Spirit Fruit.”
Yang Kai chuckled, “Senior Sister Qu is not some weak woman…”
“I’m really soft,” Qu Huachang said coquettishly as she leaned closer to Yang Kai, “If Little Brother Yang doesn’t believe me, you can pinch me.”
Yang Kai couldn’t help glancing over at her towering figure and coughed lightly, “Senior Sister Qu, we haven’t found any Innate Spirit Fruits yet, so you should take the Charm Technique away first!”
Qu Huachang immediately smiled, “You’re quite interesting.” No longer mentioning the matter of becoming companions, both she and Yang Kai knew that even if they were to become companions, they would eventually become enemies. Perhaps they wouldn’t kill each other, but in order to obtain the Innate Spirit Fruit, they would definitely do their best.
This was not only related to the benefits of several hundred years of Holy Spirit's Dao Protection, but also their future status in their respective Sects.
Just think about it, if they could really bring out a Holy Spirit from the Great Ruins Boundary, their status in their respective Sects would definitely soar, and the Cave Heaven or Paradise would definitely nurture them as core disciples.
It was because of this that the Holy Spirits agreed to be their Protector.
If one wanted a horse to run, they had to let it eat its fill. This was a condition that no one could refuse.
Yang Kai hadn’t had time to discuss this with Zhu Jiuyin yet, but now that Yue He and the others had fallen into Zhu Jiuyin’s hands, Yang Kai had to snatch that Innate Spirit Fruit no matter what. Otherwise, with Zhu Jiuyin’s personality, Yue He and the others would definitely die!
“Senior Sister, did you see anyone pass by you?” Yang Kai asked.
Qu Huachang replied, “Yes, many people are running faster than rabbits. I don’t know what they’re anxious about.”
Yang Kai was speechless. If that was the case, it would be even more difficult for him to track down the whereabouts of the giant awl’s owner.
Pondering for a moment, Yang Kai said, “Senior Sister Qu, you must be careful. I just ran into a guy who used a Divine Ability to specifically target the Dao Seal!”
He told her all about the giant awl.
Qu Huachang’s expression immediately became serious, “Isn’t this Purple Exquisite Paradise's Breaking Dao Seal Technique?”
Yang Kai asked curiously, “Does Senior Sister recognize this Divine Ability?”
Qu Huachang nodded seriously, “From what you said, it sounds like the Breaking Dao Seal Technique of Purple Exquisite Paradise. This Divine Ability is specifically targeted at cultivators’ Dao Seals, but if I didn’t see it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have been able to confirm it,” Qu Huachang said suspiciously, “Did someone from Purple Exquisite Paradise also come? I’ve never heard of it!”
Yang Kai speculated, “Perhaps someone from Purple Exquisite Paradise came, or perhaps a disciple from Purple Exquisite Paradise became a Bearer in the past, and the Holy Spirit learned this divine ability and teach it to the current Bearer.”
Qu Huachang nodded, “That’s also possible.”
“Regardless, Senior Sister should be careful.”
Qu Huachang covered her mouth and giggled, “Many thanks for Junior Brother’s reminder, but don’t worry Junior Brother, this Divine Ability can be used to deal with ordinary cultivators, but it’s a bit difficult to deal with this Senior Sister.”
