Six days later, Embodiment stood up, and as he did so, the entire world rumbled.
After six days of refining, all of the Open Heaven Stage cultivators who had died in this world had been devoured by the Demon Territory. Although a portion of them had been wasted, it was definitely less than twenty percent.
This was a terrifying proportion.
Lu Xue and Guo Ziyan both stared at the Embodiment in horror. Even though they had seen many storms and had seen many things, they were still quite shocked.
One had to know that if the Open Heaven Stage cultivator fell in the universe world, although the World Force they released would be absorbed by that world and slowly assimilated, it would take a very long time and the amount of energy they could absorb was not much. At most, ten or twenty percent would dissipate into the void, resulting in an inevitable waste.
However, over the past few days, they had clearly felt that the Open Heaven Stage foundations of the fallen Black Feather Sect had not been wasted much and had basically been swallowed up by this world.
What kind of world was this? What kind of existence was this Stone Man?
Guo Ziyan and Lu Xue weren’t clear about this, but Yang Kai had received a clear feedback from his Embodiment.
In this battle, the Demon Territory’s foundation had indeed been greatly exhausted. After all, two Mid Rank Open Heaven masters had fought, causing the surrounding millions of kilometers to be destroyed.
However, compared to consumption, the harvest was much greater!
Just the death of those eight Low Rank Open Heaven masters was enough to make up for the losses they had suffered in this battle, even more so than the World Force that had been released after a Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage like Black Feather Old Ancestor's death.
The reason why Black Feather Old Ancestor had set his eyes on the Demon Territory was because in his perception, this world had a very high compatibility with him. If he could take over the Demon Territory and use the World Force and Law of the Demon Territory, not only would he be able to heal his injuries in a short period of time, but he would also be able to increase his strength.
Unfortunately, in the end, Yang Kai had ruined everything. Not only had his plan failed, he had even lost his life.
The Demon Territory’s Laws and World Force were both great supplements to Black Feather Old Ancestor. Similarly, Black Feather Old Ancestor's foundation was also a great supplement to the Demon Territory! The fusion of these two forces was simply a matter of time and effort.
If it weren’t for this, his Embodiment wouldn’t have been able to completely devoured it in just six days. It would have taken him even longer.
At this moment, although the Demon Territory within a million killometer radius hadn’t changed much, compared to before the great war, the Demon Territory had grown greatly.
The World Laws became even more solid, and the World Force became even more potent.
The solidification of the Laws meant that the Demon Race living in the Demon Territory could better comprehend the Great Dao of the world, allowing them to increase their strength even faster.
Embodiment represent the power of this world. A Demon Saint like Yu Rumeng and Bei Li Mo, who had been recognized by the World Will, could display even greater strength in this land!
If they had been able to display the strength of a Second Order, or Third Order Open Heaven before, now they could display Third Order, or Fourth Order!
According to his Embodiment's estimates, if the Demon Territory had such a foundation before, Black Feather Old Ancestor would have had to personally take action to suppress them. Sending his subordinates here would have been useless.
In short, this Demon Territory had undergone a massive growth!
This made Yang Kai’s imagination run wild.
Yu Rumeng, Bei Li Mo, and the others were one thing, even though they were Demon Saints, there was still a chance for them to take another step forward. After breaking free from the world's shackles, they would condense their own Dao Seals and embark on the path to create a world in their body.
However, the Embodiment was different. When the Embodiment used the Heaven Devouring Battle Law in the past, it had given birth to such a strange existence that had completely bound itself to the Demon Territory.
If he left the Demon Territory, without the Heaven Devouring Battle Law's foundation, the Demon Territory would definitely collapse.
This was also the reason why Yang Kai had left his Embodiment in the Demon Territory, because it could not escape.
Originally, he had thought that his Embodiment would no longer have room to grow and would forever be trapped in the Demon Territory, but now it seemed… his Embodiment had another way to grow.
As long as enough Open Heaven Stage masters died in the Demon Territory, he would be able to devour the power of the collapsed small universe and strengthen the Demon Territory’s foundation.
The stronger the Demon Territory’s foundation, the greater the strength it could display!
Now, with the help of the Demon Territory, he was able to display the strength of a Third or Fourth Order Open Heaven Stage. One day, would he be able to display the strength of a Fifth Order, Sixth Order, or even Sixth Order and Eighth Order?
Yang Kai’s eyes lit up, the more he thought about it, the more excited he became.
However, although this was a possibility, it was extremely difficult to implement. After all, how could there be so many Open Heaven Stage cultivators to slaughter? Even if there were, they wouldn’t necessarily come to the Demon Territory to fight!
The growth of his Embodiment and Demon Territory was quite promising, but the limitations were not small.
Calming his mind, Yang Kai communicated with his Embodiment for a while before sending him a message.
The Embodiment understood and immediately controlled the Demon Territory to fly in a certain direction, towards the Star Boundary.
This time, Black Feather Old Ancestor had inadvertently discovered the Demon Territory and intended to harm it. This made Yang Kai realize that even though it was at the edge of the 3000 Worlds, it was not absolutely safe. Perhaps another 'Old Ancestor' would target the Demon Territory next time.
With the Demon Territory’s current strength, it was still far from enough to resist the powerful Mid Rank Open Heaven.
As such, it would be best for him to go to the Star Boundary. With Hei He overseeing things there, he could help look after them.
If other worlds wanted to move, they would have to pay a huge price, but the Demon Territory was different. Under the pursuit of Black Feather Old Ancestor, the Demon Territory had been fleeing for a long time, so all they needed to do now was change directions.
Yang Kai also gave his Embodiment a jade slip and asked him to pass it to Hei He so he could inform him about the specifics of the situation.
After dealing with this, Yang Kai put Bei Li Mo, Yu Rumeng, and Chang Tian into the Mysterious Small World.
A moment later, with Shangguan Yu sealed in ice, the three of them soared into the sky.
A few days later, they arrived at the Domain Gate.
Yang Kai stopped and turned his head, his eyes seemingly able to pierce through the endless void towards the Star Boundary.
Although this trip back home had been somewhat bumpy, overall, it was quite smooth.
Now that he had found the Star Boundary, it would be easy for him to return next time. It would just take some time.
Counting the distance, a round trip would take at most half a year.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t teleport the Star Boundary to the Void Territory, nor could he take the Demon Territory with him. After all, although the Domain Gate was not small, it couldn’t accommodate such a vast world.
If he didn’t pass through the Domain Gate, it would take him hundreds of years to travel from this great domain to the Void Territory.
Perhaps one day, when he broke through to the High Rank Open Heaven, he would be able to think of a way to bring the Star Boundary and Demon Territory to the Void Territory and obtain its protection.
At that time, the Star Boundary and Demon Territory would no longer have to worry about being targeted.
The journey was smooth and uneventful, and after seven days, everyone had entered a different domain.
With Lu Xue controlling the Artifact to fly, Yang Kai didn’t need to worry about anything and just focused on cultivating. Right now, he had already condensed four types of Yin-Yang + Five Elements, so he still needed three more before he could break through to Open Heaven. His requirements were too high, so if he wanted to find Yin-Yang and Gold Element above the Seventh Grade, he would have to rely on luck.
However, his foundation in this vast universe was too shallow and he simply didn’t have any way to collect these resources. Perhaps he could borrow the strength of the Proprietress to inquire about them. The First Inn was a place to eat and exchange informations, and after so many years of accumulation, it should have some understanding of resources above the seventh grade.
He secretly made up his mind that after the Void Land stabilized, he would go and find the Proprietress. As for the hidden dangers of advancing to High Rank, he did not take them to heart.
After all, being targeted by those Cave Heaven Paradise was definitely not a good thing.
However, he had already laid down such a good foundation, so it would be a pity if he gave up halfway. If he changed his mind because he was afraid of what would happen in the future, it would be detrimental to his Dao Heart, if this is the case, how could he dare to face difficulties in the future? He would probably only try to escape.
No matter what, he had to try.
“Sir, someone is chasing us,” Lu Xue’s voice suddenly rang out, “They’re fast!”
“En?” Yang Kai woke up from his meditation and looked back, but found nothing, “Who is it?”
Lu Xue shook her head, “I don’t know, but I’m certain they’re chasing us, because I’ve changed directions several times but haven’t been able to escape.”
Yang Kai’s brow wrinkled. Being chased by someone for no apparent reason, he couldn’t help feeling somewhat annoyed, but when his eyes suddenly landed on Shangguan Yu who was frozen in ice, he immediately understood.
If he wasn’t mistaken, the ones pursuing them were either from Raising Heaven Pavilion or Flying Flower Boat!
These two forces had been chasing after Black Feather Old Ancestor for the past two years and had fought more than a dozen big and small battles with Black Feather Old Ancestor. This Great Domain was not far from the Great Domain where the Star Boundary was located, so it was not strange for them to meet here.
As for why they're following them…
Yang Kai sized up Shangguan Yu from head to toe, vaguely guessing that this woman had some kind of artifact that could guide them to her.
Although he had some guesses, he still had to be careful.
Yang Kai let Lu Xue continue walking around while secretly arranging the Space Spirit Beads in the void.
At the same time, in an extremely distant location, a giant lotus flower transformed into a stream of light and sped through the void.
This lotus wasn’t a real lotus flower, but rather a flying artifact that had taken the form of a lotus flower. However, the Artifact Refiner who refined this artifact was quite skilled and refined it in a vivid and lifelike manner. From afar, it looked like a real lotus flower.
On top of the lotus, a number of figures stood tall, each of them exuding the aura of Open Heaven Stage cultivator. The one in the lead was a woman in a palace dress, and she was also a Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator.
This woman was the Boat Master of Flying Flower Boat, Shangguan Long!
Shangguan Long looked to be in her early thirties and had a voluptuous figure with a pair of willowy eyebrows and a pair of beautiful eyes. Gritting her teeth, she stared into the void in front of her and shouted, “Hurry up, I can sense Yu’er’s bloodline aura. This time, no matter what, we can’t let Black Feather Old Ancestor escape!”
As Shangguan Yu’s birth mother, she had a set of Secret Techniques that allowed her to sense her daughter’s existence from a distance. If not for this, she wouldn’t have been able to chase after Yang Kai and the others, and she had used this Secret Technique to chase after Black Feather Old Ancestor.
With a single command, the giant lotus flower’s speed increased by thirty percent.
