Half of the two hundred or so people had been reduced, greatly reducing the pressure on Yang Kai, while the rest were all above Third Order Open Heaven Stage masters. After leaving Shadowless Cave Heaven, if they really encountered any danger, they would be able to put in some effort.
After making all the necessary preparations, Yang Kai quickly arrived at the place where he had previously torn open space. Looking back, he gently nodded at everyone, indicating that they should be on guard.
Under the surge of the Space Laws, Yang Kai changed his hand seals and shouted, “Open!”
As if something was being torn apart, a space crack suddenly appeared in the empty void and rapidly expanded.
The moment this space crack appeared, a whistling invisible wind rushed in, causing the faces of over a hundred people to pale.
Yang Kai took advantage of this opportunity to prop up the Towering Evergreen, causing a dark green light to spread out from it. The giant tree’s canopy covered the sky and its branches fell down, completely covering the hundred or so people.
Being within the range of this Wood Element Divine Ability, everyone could feel the rich vitality around them, and even their minds became tranquil.
The panic in their hearts was swept away as they all looked up in amazement.
This was the first time Hua Yong had seen such a Divine Ability. Listening to the whistling wind in his ears, he turned his head and looked around, muttering to himself in disbelief, “He really blocked it!”
Being enveloped by this giant tree, he didn’t feel the invasion of the Shadowless Astral Wind at all, which was much safer than being on Gemini Island.
His eyes filled with shock and excitement, he suddenly felt that he had made the right decision to leave with Yang Kai.
With such methods, Yang Kai could guarantee that they would be able to pass through the strong winds without any worries. If they were to remain here, not to mention that Shadowless Cave Heaven would sooner or later collapse, the unborn child would likely not be able to cultivate properly and his future would be bleak. At that time, his wife word might really happen, and they might have to send their son off first.
Mao Zhe and the other two had experienced this kind of situation before, so when Yang Kai was holding up the Towering Evergreen, they immediately came to his side.
“Let’s go!” Yang Kai shouted as he rushed towards the Space Crack. Seeing this, many of the Open Heaven Stage masters didn’t dare to hesitate and quickly followed, maintaining their position under the cover of the giant tree.
This time, the space crack Yang Kai open wasn’t small. After all, he had to pass through with hundreds of people at once, if the crack was too small, it will be hard to accommodate so many people.
A feeling of spatial distortion spread out and in an instant, everyone had left Shadowless Cave Heaven.
Stronger astral winds came from all directions, causing the branches of the giant trees to sway. Yang Kai’s expression changed slightly as he finally understood why Mao Zhe and the others had run out last time and then hurriedly turned back.
After leaving Shadowless Cave Heaven, the place where he landed was indeed the place where the astral winds originated. The astral winds here were even more violent than the ones that blew into Shadowless Cave Heaven.
In this kind of environment, even if Mao Zhe and the others were at the Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage, they probably wouldn’t be able to last long before they collapsed and died.
Even with the Towering Evergreen that Yang Kai was using, felt a great deal of strain, the branches rustling, causing everyone to tremble in fear, afraid that this Secret Technique would be broken and everyone would be exposed to the wind.
Fortunately, although the giant tree’s branches were swaying back and forth, they were still stable.
Yang Kai turned around and once again used his Space Force to close the torn space crack.
There were still some people who remained in Shadowless Cave Heaven. If he didn’t close the tear in space, the Shadowless Astral Wind would continue to blow and those who remained would have no way to survive.
After doing this, Yang Kai felt everyone’s eyes on him.
Now, everyone had left Shadowless Cave Heaven, but just as they had expected, after leaving Shadowless Cave Heaven, they had landed in the place where the astral winds originated. Only by leaving this place would they be able to survive.
No one knew which direction to go.
Yang Kai sent out his Divine Sense, but as soon as it left the Towering Evergreen's range, it was completely destroyed by the astral winds. His mind couldn’t help feeling a sharp pain, so how could he investigate his surroundings?
He could only grit his teeth and lead everyone to a random direction.
The origin of these astral winds couldn’t be endless. As long as one followed a certain direction, they would eventually be able to escape.
The wind was fierce, and everyone was on edge. This kind of life-threatening feeling was truly uncomfortable.
Yang Kai maintained his position as the Towering Evergreen energy in his body flowed out like a flood. He secretly rejoiced that he had used his Wishful Bag to store a hundred people in advance, otherwise he would have consumed even more energy.
The branches of the towering ancient tree swayed back and forth, seemingly on the verge of being blown apart at any moment, but it was still fiercely defending against the strong winds.
After advancing for a moment, Yang Kai’s expression suddenly changed.
The Proprietress, who had been following him the whole time, noticed something was wrong with his expression and quickly asked, “What’s wrong?”
“There’s something outside!” Yang Kai’s eyes were deep as he stared forward, as if he wanted to see through the obstruction of the violent wind, but the endless violent wind caused the void to tremble and he couldn’t see anything.
His words made everyone nervous.
Hua Yong said, “This astral wind is so fierce, I’m afraid only a High Rank Open Heaven master can resist it. What kind of thing could this wind contain?”
There was absolutely no living creature in this world that could survive such a violent wind, but since Yang Kai had said so, he was certainly not spouting nonsense. He used his Wood Element Divine Ability to protect everyone and had a sharper perception of the outside world than anyone else.
“I don’t know!” Yang Kai slowly shook his head, his expression solemn as he suddenly shouted, “It’s coming!”
As soon as these words left his mouth, Yang Kai’s expression changed drastically. Turning his head to look in a certain direction, he saw that his Towering Evergreen’s defensive power had been torn apart by an unknown force. Although he was desperately trying to make up for it, the wind still got in!
The azure wind floated in and, visible to the naked eye, transformed into a semi-transparent humanoid figure that was half the height of a human.
Without any facial features, the face was smooth and looked extremely strange.
“Wind Spirit!” The Proprietress called out, “This Shadowless Astral Wind actually gave birth to a Wind Spirit, everyone be careful!”
Everyone was on guard.
The Wind Spirit plunged into the body of the closest Open Heaven Stage cultivator and instantly disappeared.
The Open Heaven Stage cultivator was a Fourth Order, before he could react, he suddenly let out a startled cry and his aura fluctuated rapidly.
Everyone around him was shocked and quickly dodged.
The Fourth Order Open Heaven Stage cried out in horror, “It’s inside my Small Universe, save me!”
Hua Yong roared, “When the Wind Spirit enters your body, no one will be able to help you, you can only save yourself! Don’t panic, calm your mind and use the power of your Small Universe to force it out!”
When the man heard this, he quickly acted, but his cultivation was still too low, no one knew what the Wind Spirit had done to his Small Universe. Everyone could only feel his aura rapidly weakening, and in just a few breaths of time, the energy fluctuations he was exerting had fallen from Fourth Order to Third Order, then from Second Order to First Order…
“Save me!” The man cried out in grief as his aura fluctuated. As soon as his voice fell, he exploded into a bloody mist! Everyone around him was drenched in blood.
“The Small Universe collapse!” Mao Zhe’s eyes narrowed.
A Fourth Order Open Heaven Stage had lost all of his World Force in such a short period of time. The Small Universe would definitely be unstable and when it collapsed, he would die.
The Shadowless Astral Wind was impossible to resist, and when it blew into a cultivator’s Small Universe World, it would rapidly weaken the Small Universe's foundation. Now, it seemed that the power of this Wind Spirit was a thousand times stronger than the Shadowless Astral Wind!
After the man died, the azure Wind Spirit which had disappeared earlier reappeared, obviously escaping from the collapsed Small Universe. Its translucent body flickered as it rushed towards another cultivator.
Mao Zhe raised his hand and struck out with his Divine Ability, striking the Wind Spirit’s body. He is a Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator, so his aura was naturally extraordinary, but because he was surrounded by people and was also within the range of Yang Kai’s Wood Element Divine Ability, he couldn’t help feeling somewhat restrained.
However, the power of this Divine Ability was still not to be underestimated, and the massive force caused the Wind Spirit’s body to tremble slightly.
This action seemed to have angered the Wind Spirit, causing it to abandon its original target and rush straight towards Mao Zhe.
Mao Zhe’s expression changed slightly, but since he was in this place, he couldn’t retreat, so he could only continuously use his Divine Ability to attack the Wind Spirit. At the same time, Geng Qing and Zhou Ya also attacked. With the three Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage working together, the Wind Spirit couldn't get close, but even if Mao Zhe and the other two joined forces, they were unable to destroy it.
The Proprietress suddenly shouted, “Don’t activate the World Force, it can devour the World Force to strengthen itself!”
Mao Zhe’s eyes narrowed as he looked up and discovered that the azure Wind Spirit’s color was a bit darker than when it first appeared, and its speed was also faster. He knew that the Proprietress was right, this Wind Spirit could actually swallow the World Force to strengthen itself.
Just now, it had burrowed into a Fourth Order Open Heaven Stage, causing the Fourth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivation to rapidly fall. The collapse of this Fourth Order Open Heaven Stage seemed to have been caused by swallowing this Fourth Order Open Heaven Stage world force. [Read on Hoogsway]
But… if the Open Heaven Stage cultivator didn’t use the World Force, could they still be called Open Heaven Stage?
How were they supposed to fight?
The greatest strength of the Open Heaven Stage cultivator was their own Small Universe's World Force. If they couldn’t use the World Force, they would be like a tiger without teeth.
Seeing that the Wind Spirit was rapidly approaching him, Mao Zhe spread out his hands and pulled Zhou Ya and Geng Qing back!
However, where could he retreat to? Soon, he arrived at the edge of the Towering Evergreen. If he retreated any further, he would fall into the strong winds.
At this critical moment, a soft whip lashed out and wrapped itself around the Wind Spirit’s body. The sound of wind and thunder exploded as the Wind Spirit’s body suddenly collapsed.
Although the Wind Spirit quickly took shape again, this time everyone saw a glimmer of hope.
The Proprietress holding the long whip shouted, “Use your artifact!”
Although Open Heaven Stage artifacts also needed World Force to activate, the power they exerted was not just World Force, but also the power of the artifact itself, something that the Wind Spirit could not devour.
The Proprietress had only tried once, but she hadn’t expected to find the right method.
