Despite knowing this, Yang Kai continued to work hard, but to no avail. The entrance to the Universe Cave Heaven was like a heavy door that he couldn’t open no matter how hard he tried.
Meanwhile, the battle was still raging.
Black Crow led a group of people and jumped out, immediately transforming the battlefield into two groups. One was Zhu Jiu Yin fighting against four High Rank masters while the other was a fierce battle between dozens of Mid Rank masters.
Although the battle between Zhu Jiu Yin and the four High Rank Open Heaven masters was earth-shattering, no matter who they were, all of them possessed great Divine Abilities. Even if they used all of their methods, it would be difficult to determine who would win and who would lose. On the contrary, the situation seemed to be in a deadlock, but injuries were unavoidable, especially for Ti Zheng. Zhu Jiu Yin was annoyed by his previous presumptuous words, and most of her attacks were directed towards him, causing Ti Zheng to complain incessantly.
On the other hand, in another battlefield, there were people who screamed miserably and suffered heavy injuries from time to time before dying.
In terms of numbers, both sides were about the same, and their grades were basically the same, but in terms of strength, Black Crow’s side was undoubtedly weaker. Just like how Mo Mei, a newly promoted Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage master, was not Luan Bai Feng’s opponent, Black Crow’s subordinates were all newly promoted and didn’t have much time to consolidate their foundation, so how could they compare to this batch of Mid Rank Open Heaven masters brought by Ti Zheng and the others?
Whether it was their Divine Abilities, Secret Techniques, or Artifacts, they were far inferior to their opponent.
However, in a real fight, both sides were evenly matched, and even Black Crow’s subordinates had the upper hand.
The Mid Rank Open Heaven under Black Crow's command had long since been under his control when he removed the Blood Dao Restriction, allowing him to control their life and death. With Black Crow's command, none of them dared to be negligent, all of them using their full strength to fight with their lives.
What’s more, when Black Crow led his people to jump out, he had already taken care of several opponents. With the momentum of killing a powerful enemy, they naturally pressed forward.
When they met, the Cave Heaven Paradise's Mid Rank Open Heaven was suppressed to the point where it was difficult to breathe.
This situation became more obvious after Black Crow joined the battle.
Black Crow possessed the physical body of Zhou Yi from the Great Thousand Blood Land. Although Zhou Yi was a core disciple of the Great Thousand Blood Land, he couldn’t compare to Qu Huachang and the others, since he had only condensed a Fifth Grade strength.
Because of this, Black Crow also inherited Zhou Yi’s heritage. When he achieved Open Heaven that day, he was only a Fifth Order Open Heaven cultivator.
However, after using the Great Evolution Inextinguishable Blood Shine Scripture and swallowing the blood essence of the dead Mid Rank Open Heaven masters, his aura suddenly soared to the level of a Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage master!
He was originally an old monster who had lived for countless years, and now he had the strength of a Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage master. If a High Rank Open Heaven master didn’t appear, who could compete with him?
The many Secret Techniques from the Great Evolution Inextinguishable Blood Shine Scripture were all extremely powerful. As the blood mist around him spread out, the Blood Crows flew out one after another, each of them crying out in alarm. Each of these Blood Crows was extremely difficult to deal with, and each time they were destroyed, they would transform into a layer of bloody light that enveloped their enemies, causing their movements and reactions to weaken greatly.
If they were surrounded by three or four layers of bloody light, they would have no choice but to surrender.
In less than an incense stick’s worth of time, five or six of the Cave Heaven Paradise Mid Rank Open Heaven cultivators had been captured, all of them imprisoned by Black Crow's technique and thrown to a guard.
These people were obviously the ones he planned to capture and use as food.
During the chaotic battle, the number of Mid Rank Open Heaven masters who had fallen was even greater. In this short period of time, more than a dozen people from both sides had died. The losses in the Cave Heaven Paradise were huge, and several of Black Crow’s subordinates had also died.
No matter who died, under the cover of Black Crow’s Great Evolution Inextinguishable Blood Shine Scripture, all of their Blood Essence was quickly devoured by him.
The Blood Qi around Black Crow’s body became denser, and the aura on his body became more terrifying, showing signs of reaching the limit of the Sixth Order.
The battle outside the Heaven Earth Net had suffered such a loss, and the Open Heaven Stage masters under his command had suffered heavy casualties. The four High Rank Open Heaven Stage masters who had fallen into the Heaven Earth Net’s trap had naturally all noticed this, causing Ti Zheng to roar in anger while the others continued to threaten, clamoring that they would sooner or later tear off Black Crow's skin.
Black Crow cackled and ignored them.
Such a good opportunity was not something that could be easily encountered. Although his current strength was not bad, if he really had to face a High Rank Open Heaven head-on, he would probably have no choice but to flee, otherwise he wouldn’t have had to hide in this Shattered Heaven.
However, now that the High Rank Open Heaven masters in the Cave Heaven Paradise side were all being restrained by the Holy Spirit Zhu Jiu Yin, he had nothing to worry about.
How could he so brazenly take advantage of this Cave Heaven Paradise?
Although doing so was the same as helping Yang Kai in disguise, he had already benefited from it, so he couldn’t be bothered to argue with Yang Kai. As for the grievances between him and Yang Kai, it wouldn’t be too late to settle them after his cultivation had fully recovered.
Seeing that the Open Heaven Stage subordinates had suffered heavy casualties, if they didn’t leave now, he feared that his entire army would really be annihilated here. As he faced Zhu Jiu Yin’s angry attacks, Ti Zheng shouted towards the Mid Rank Open Heaven, “All of you leave!”
The reason he had brought them here was to set up the Heavenly Astral Locking Spirit Formation to restrain Zhu Jiu Yin. Now that the Heavenly Astral Locking Spirit Formation had been broken, there was no point in them staying any longer. They would only be defeated one by one by Black Crow. At least some of them were still alive now, so it would be best if they could escape.
The seven or eight Mid Rank Open Heaven masters who were still alive had been waiting for this moment. With a single command from Ti Zheng, how could they hesitate? All of them quickly used their Secret Techniques and fled.
“Trying to escape? None of you can escape!” As Black Crow coldly snorted, his entire body shook and a bloody light shot out. This bloody light was like maggots in one’s bones as it chased after the fleeing people. Some of them were caught off guard and fell, quickly being surrounded and captured by Black Crow's subordinates.
Black Crow himself rushed towards a Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator wrapped in Demonic Qi.
The reason he had found this person was not because of his strength, but because he was the fastest. The bloody light tore through the air and arrived behind this person in the blink of an eye. Black Crow grinned maliciously and stretched out his palm to grab this person, “Stay here!”
The man hurriedly turned around and also sent out a palm strike.
Black Crow sneered, his expression filled with disdain. Even under normal circumstances, a Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage was nothing to him, let alone now that he had swallowed a lot of excellent Blood Essence, his strength had soared.
When the two palms collided, the World Force clashed fiercely as the Black Crow Secret Technique circulated and the Great Evolution Inextinguishable Blood Shine Scripture was quietly activated.
With his current ability and control of the Blood Shine Scripture, a Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage was simply impossible to escape from him.
However, the truth was that he was greatly shocked. As they exchanged blows, Black Crow actually felt an extremely terrifying suction force coming from the other party’s palm. This suction force was somewhat similar to his Great Evolution Inextinguishable Blood Shine Scripture, but also somewhat different. Although it was somewhat immature and seemingly not smooth, the suction force was not inferior to his own.
For a moment, not only did Black Crow fail to swallow the other party’s Blood Essence, the other party even managed to swallow quite a bit of the blood mist lingering around his body.
With a loud bang, the man’s body was sent flying and the Demonic Qi surrounding him began to surge.
There was a gap in strength between the two of them, so in such a head-on confrontation, the Myriad Demons Heaven's Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage was at a disadvantage. However, his reaction was extremely fast, borrowing the force of this collision to fly backwards, his entire body transforming into a cloud of Demonic Qi as he rapidly fled.
Black Crow was still shocked by the brief encounter just now, but by the time he reacted, he had already run far away.
Looking down at his palm, Black Crow's blood red eyes lit up, “Interesting, truly interesting!”
He didn’t know what kind of profound technique this Myriad Demons Heaven’s Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivated, but through that brief moment of contact, Black Crow could feel that the other party’s cultivation technique was extremely profound, just that it hadn’t been perfected yet, causing it to appear somewhat immature.
To have such power before being perfected, this was definitely a technique that could compete with the Great Evolution Inextinguishable Blood shine Scripture!
The world was vast, and there were indeed all kinds of wonders!
Staring deeply in the direction the man had fled, Black Crow coldly snorted and turned around.
In just a short time, the battle had come to an end. Out of the twenty or so Mid Rank Open Heaven masters in the Cave Heaven Paradise's side, excluding the last six or seven who managed to escape, the rest were either killed or captured!
Black Crow’s subordinates were also injured, their auras surging as the World Force fluctuated. They originally had more than twenty people, but now, only a dozen or so remained, nearly ten of them having fallen!
From these corpses, a blood red light surged out and converged towards Black Crow.
Tan Luoxing and the others stared at him in horror, not daring to make a sound.
Looking at the Heaven Earth Net covering the sky and the massive Heavenly Moon Demon Spider, Black Crow stuck out his tongue and licked his lips.
If it was possible, he didn’t mind stirring up some more trouble. The Blood Essence of a High Rank Open Heaven and Holy Spirit was not something he could compare with. The higher the cultivation, the more helpful it would be to him.
However, the battle between the two sides had already exceeded what he could interfere with, so even if he were to send all of his subordinates into the fray, it would likely be useless.
Suppressing the greed in his heart, Black Crow sneered, “36 Cave Heaven and 72 Paradise, open your dog eyes wide and look, this is the result of opposing this King! Today is just the beginning. One day, this King will arrive in the 3000 Worlds, trample the headquarters of your Cave Heaven Paradise, and slaughter all of you!”
Ti Zheng roared, “This old bastard is spouting nonsense, you’re courting death!”
Black Crow sneered, “Wait a thousand or so years and you’ll know whether this King is spouting nonsense or not! Let’s go!”
Saying so, he turned around to leave.
Ti Zheng and the others were both shocked and angry. One of them shouted, “Old villain, don’t even think about leaving!”
With the four High Rank Open Heaven here, how could they just stand by and watch as Black Crow took away their disciples? However, even if they wanted to help, they were powerless to do so. Without breaking through Zhu Jiu Yin’s Heaven Earth Net, none of them could escape!
