This was just like when everyone went to an inn to eat together. Others could only eat so much, but he could eat as much as he wanted.
This gave him an advantage.
By the time Yang Kai emerged from the swamp again, he had already transferred the Cultivation Paradise filled with Water Spirit Strength to the Mysterious Small World.
Turning his head to look at the corpse of the Fifth Order Monster Beast, Yang Kai secretly sighed in relief. This thing’s strength was not weak, otherwise it would not have been able to kill two Emperor Realm at once. If they really fought, Yang Kai could certainly take it down, but it would take some effort.
Using the Space Crack here to instantly kill this beast had saved him a lot of time.
According to his estimations, the strength displayed by a Fifth Order Monster Beast was equivalent to a Half Open Heaven. Of course, because the Monster Beast’s Core in Blood Monster Cave Heaven had a single attribute, it was easy to target it.
For example, this toad Monster Beast’s Core is a Water Element, which can be overcome by fire. The Golden Crow True Fire he had used from the Dao Seal just now was a consideration in this regard.
Even if it was easily targeted, it still has the strength of a Half Open Heaven. If an ordinary Emperor Realm cultivator were to encounter it, they would be doomed.
If even a Fifth Order Monster Beast was like this, what about a Sixth Order Monster Beast? Wouldn’t that be equivalent to a Low Rank Open Heaven?
This was also in line with his understanding. After all, he had used the Sixth Grade Yuan Magnetic Divine Light to fight against a Low Rank Open Heaven before, it was quite difficult for them to resist.
What about the Seventh Order? Wouldn’t that be equivalent to a Mid Rank?
Yang Kai was secretly shocked. He had thought that he would be able to find a Seventh Order Monster Beast to kill and obtain a Core, but now it seemed that if he really encountered a Seventh Order Monster Beast, he would have to flee.
Thinking about it now was meaningless. Although a Seventh Order Monster Beast did exist here, it was not something that could be easily encountered. If he really encountered one, he could only react accordingly.
Taking out the Space Rings of these two people, Yang Kai examined them and found that each one was poorer than the last. There were only a few hundred Open Heaven Pills, and Yang Kai didn’t care about the other random things.
From the looks of it, it hadn’t been long since they had arrived here, and before they even had a chance to make a killing, they had already died.
What a tragedy…
Yang Kai didn’t have any intention of commemorating them. Since they had entered the Blood Monster Cave Heaven, they had to be mentally prepared to be killed. Just as he was about to put away their Space Rings, his expression suddenly changed and he took out a piece of beast skin from one of the rings.
It was obvious that this beast skin had been around for many years and was covered in many complicated patterns. After countless years of wear and tear, many parts of it had become blurry.
At first, Yang Kai couldn’t understand what was on this beast skin, but after a moment, he seemed to remember something and quickly took out the jade slip the Proprietress had given him. His Divine Sense split into two and he immersed himself in the jade slip while paying attention to the patterns on the beast skin.
A moment later, Yang Kai looked surprised, “A map?”
The thing recorded on this beast skin was a broken map of a certain region inside Blood Monster Cave Heaven.
Because this beast skin map was quite similar to the one recorded in the Jade Slip, Yang Kai was able to identify it. Of course, this did not mean that there were more things recorded on this beast skin map. On the contrary, the map in the Jade Slip that the Proprietress had given him was more comprehensive. After all, it had been auctioned off from the Red Clouds Auction and had been explored by countless cultivators over the years.
The only difference was that the two places overlapped, and the beast skin map had a few more locations that were not recorded on the jade slip.
Holding the beast skin map, Yang Kai fell into deep thought.
The Red Clouds Auction had auctioned off a hundred Blood Monster Cave Heaven maps, and although they weren’t comprehensive, they could provide a good guide for cultivators.
Yang Kai wasn’t naive enough to believe that the Red Clouds Auction would be so kind as to disclose such secrets. After all, a relatively complete map would bring unimaginable benefits.
Behind the Red Clouds Auction, they definitely has some undisclosed maps, which was their greatest reliance.
Anything that could be made public by them was likely already explored by them and had little value.
In addition to the Red Clouds Auction, in the past few years, the various Cave Heaven Paradise and Second Class forces definitely had their own maps. It was hard to say which one had a more comprehensive map or which one had more value.
In fact, Yang Kai was certain that the map in his hand wasn’t completely auctioned off from the Red Clouds Auction. There was definitely a part of it that the Proprietress herself had added. After all, the Proprietress had come to the Blood Monster Cave Heaven before.
Yang Kai didn’t know the origins of the two people who had just died, but this beast skin map could have been obtained by accident, or else it wouldn’t have contained such an ancient aura.
A certain spot on the beast skin map was circled, attracting his attention.
Typically, this kind of highlighted location must have some kind of treasure.
Yang Kai’s heart began to itch as he compared the two maps and discovered that it would take several days to reach the highlighted area.
After putting away the beast skin map, Yang Kai didn’t rush to make a decision. It wouldn’t be too late to make a decision after they arrived.
Looking up at the swamp in front of him, Yang Kai didn’t choose to take a detour. Firstly, taking a detour would take a lot of time, and secondly, although this place was filled with Space Cracks, it was an excellent battlefield for him. If there were more Monster Beasts attacking him like the toad just now, he could use the Space Cracks to kill them and take their Core.
Sweeping out his Divine Sense, Yang Kai flew deeper into the swamp.
There were many Space Cracks in this damned place. Fortunately, Yang Kai was proficient in the Space Laws and was constantly on guard, so he was able to discover them early on and successfully avoid them.
Contrary to his expectations, he didn’t encounter any more Monster Beasts. It seemed that this region was also a dangerous place for the Monster Beasts in the Blood Monster Cave Heaven.
The place where the toad was located was only the edge of the swamp.
Since there was no prey, Yang Kai focused on his journey and soon passed through most of the swamp.
At a certain moment, a voice suddenly rang out, “Friend, please wait, the road ahead is dangerous!”
Yang Kai suddenly stopped and turned his head towards the source of the sound, only to see a group of five people standing on top of a swamp. All of them wore armor and carried spears and swords. Although there were only five of them, their auras were steady and gave off the feeling of a great army.
This person’s attire seemed somewhat familiar, causing Yang Kai’s brow to furrow as he thought of a certain force. In a flash, he appeared in front of these five people and asked, “Great Battle Heaven?”
Only the Disciples of Great Battle Heaven would wear such clothes. This was just a guess, but now that they were closer, he was even more certain, because these five people all had a kind of murderous aura about them. This kind of aura could only be accumulated after living in the army for many years.
As for Great Battle Heaven, it was the only force in the entire 3000 Worlds governed by the iron laws of the military. Once a military order was issued, no one dared to disobey!
Thousand Birds Star City was managed by Great Battle Heaven. Yang Kai had seen Great Battle Heaven's disciples at the Void Harbor, but instead of calling them cultivators, they were more like soldiers!
These five people, four men and one woman, all stared at Yang Kai as if they had seen a ghost, their eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
Hearing Yang Kai’s question, the young man in the lead nodded and said, “Yes.” Looking up and down at Yang Kai, he praised, “Your luck is really good.”
Listening to him speak, Yang Kai knew that the person who had called out to him just now was this man. This man had thick eyebrows, big eyes, a vigorous spirit, and a firm face, giving off the aura of an iron-blooded man. It was also obvious that this group of five was led by this man.
Yang Kai smiled, “Your luck isn’t that good, how could you be trapped here?”
He could tell at a glance that these five people were not moving, not because they didn’t want to, but because they were trapped. Space cracks filled their surroundings, and a few of them were even moving slowly and silently, making it difficult for even Divine Sense to detect them.
Of the five, three of them were covered in blood, obviously injured by these space cracks.
The young man in the lead shook his head, “It’s a long story! Let’s not talk about this for now, how should I address my friend?”
“Yang Kai!”
The young man was stunned, “You’re Yang Kai?”
The four people behind him also looked at Yang Kai curiously.
Yang Kai was also stunned for a moment, “You know me?” But he quickly reacted, “Yes, you should have heard of me.”
After experiencing the Thousand Birds Star City’s Asura Arena, he should have already entered the sights of many Cave Heaven Paradise. First, there was the Asura Arena’s manager’s explanation, then there was Xuanyuan Cave Heaven’s Senior Brother Guo’s attempt to win him over. Since Asura Heaven and Xuanyuan Cave Heaven had already noticed his existence, it wasn’t surprising that Great Battle Heaven who's in charge of Thousand Birds Star City to know him.
The young man in the lead didn’t deny it and instead cupped his fists, “So it’s Brother Yang, excuse my disrespect, this one is Bu Lianzhong.”
“Brother Bu is too polite!” Yang Kai nodded.
Bu Lianzhong then pointed to the four people behind him and gave them their names before saying seriously, “Brother Yang, this one has a request.”
Yang Kai nodded, “Brother Bu, please speak.”
Just now, when Bu Lianzhong saw him speeding along, he had quickly warned him, clearly showing that his temperament wasn’t bad. Yang Kai had always been a man who returned kindness with kindness, so he naturally wouldn’t be unreasonable. However, before confirming what kind of help the other party wanted, he wouldn’t easily agree.
Bu Lianzhong said, “We’ve been trapped here, so I’m afraid we’re all doomed. Please, after you leaves Blood Monster Cave Heaven, go to the Great Chief Commander Mansion in the Star City and report our deaths to Great Chief Commander Ye!”
The Great Chief in charge of Thousand Bird Star City, Ye Tianxiong, is a Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator. Yang Kai also knew that Thousand Bird Star City is a large-sized Star City, and only such a person had the ability to control it. If one’s strength was too low, they wouldn’t be able to control the situation.
