“This is…” Mao Zhe was stunned as he turned his head to look around. He had a vague guess, but he couldn’t believe it.
“This is my Small Universe. Rather than letting these Wind Spirits wreak havoc outside, it would be better to trap them here. I will try my best to seal off this region, so I’ll have to trouble everyone to help me hold them off until I can free myself!” Yang Kai’s voice echoed in the void.
Mao Zhe’s face was filled with disbelief, while Geng Qing and Zhou Ya were also stunned.
This place was actually Yang Kai’s Small Universe World!
However, wasn’t only when the Open Heaven Stage reached the High Rank Open Heaven that the Small Universe would be able to turn solid and able to hold living creature? Yang Kai was clearly only a Sixth Order, so how could he accomplish such a feat?
They couldn’t understand, this matter had completely subverted all of their understanding over the years.
However, after sensing the richness of this world’s power, Mao Zhe finally understood why he was no match for the other party even though they were both Sixth Order.
Yang Kai’s foundation was far more profound than his own. Looking up at the bright moon hanging high in the sky, he faintly felt that this bright moon seemed to contain an ice-cold power that could penetrate one’s heart, causing his heart to tremble. Was this the power of a High Rank? Although he was also a Sixth Order now, when he achieved Open Heaven, he was only a Fifth Order. In other words, his limit in this life was Seventh Order, so he naturally yearned for this power.
As soon as Yang Kai’s voice fell, everyone clearly felt a powerful force envelop the surrounding space and seal the world.
Obviously, Yang Kai had sealed off this area to prevent the Wind Spirit from wreaking havoc in his Small Universe, but the light barrier was useless. If no one was able to stop these Wind Spirits, the seal would be broken sooner or later.
That was why Yang Kai had brought the Proprietress, Mao Zhe, and the others into the Small Universe, hoping to use their strength to buy some time. Right now, he needed to quickly bring the others away from the Source of the Astral Wind, so he had no spare energy to deal with them.
Four Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage masters dealing with a dozen strange Wind Spirits was difficult, but Yang Kai didn’t want the Proprietress and the others to destroy the Wind Spirits. As long as they were careful and didn’t let the Wind Spirits approach them, it shouldn’t be a problem.
After understanding Yang Kai’s plan, the Proprietress shouted and was the first to act. The soft whip in her hand transformed into a long dragon that swept towards the Wind Spirits, drawing their attention so that they wouldn’t swallow too much of Yang Kai’s Small Universe's strength.
Seeing this, Mao Zhe and the others also took action.
Yang Kai could only feel his body trembling violently, causing his mind to tremble.
The corner of his mouth twitched as he thought to himself, No wonder he said that even if it was a High Rank Open Heaven, he wouldn’t easily allow others to enter his Small Universe. This kind of experience was really quite terrible. If it wasn’t someone he truly trusted, who would dare to allow others to enter his Small Universe so easily? Any slight movement from them could cause some damage.
Under the majestic Towering Evergreen, everyone looked around with lingering fear. Over a hundred Open Heaven Stage masters had actually lost nearly twenty people in such a short period of time. This kind of loss was quite heavy.
As for the dozen Wind Spirits that had been roaring around them, all of them had rushed into Yang Kai’s body, making everyone even more worried.
One had to know that Yang Kai was the key to this trip. If anything happened to Yang Kai, everyone would fall into the astral winds. With the protection of the majestic Towering Evergreen, the astral winds wouldn’t be able to invade them, but without this Wood Element Divine Ability, no one could guarantee they would survive.
Everyone turned to look at Yang Kai and saw that although Yang Kai’s expression was solemn, he seemed to be fine.
Hua Yong asked with concern, “Sect Master, those Wind Spirits…”
Yang Kai muttered, “They’re all inside my Small Universe, Mao Zhe and the others are resisting it, we need to leave this place quickly!”
Without stopping, he led the group forward, everyone follow closely.
Along the way, a few Wind Spirits broke through the Towering Evergreen blockade and rushed in, causing chaos.
Yang Kai used the same method to draw these Wind Spirits into his Small Universe.
The Proprietress, Mao Zhe, and the other three were already having a hard time dealing with a dozen Wind Spirits, but now that there were a few more, the situation became more difficult and they were almost approached by the Wind Spirit several times.
With no other choice, Yang Kai could only put Hua Yong and his wife into his Small Universe and ask them to help.
The Small Universe's movements became more violent, causing Yang Kai to feel his blood essence roil and his aura to become unstable. His head was constantly buzzing, as if he was about to go berserk at any moment.
Time seemed to pass extremely slowly.
The Accountant who had been standing guard beside him suddenly whispered, “Yang Kai, you’re injured.”
Looking over, Yang Kai’s seven orifices were filled with blood and his eyes were bloodshot.
Yang Kai let out a muffled groan and couldn’t spare any effort to speak with him. He simply rushed forward, desperately pushing his strength to maintain the majestic Towering Evergreen, constantly resisting the violent winds around him.
After an unknown period of time, after what seemed like a cup of tea or several hours, Yang Kai suddenly felt the pressure outside disappear and the Towering Evergreen which had been compressed to the extreme by the Shadowless Astral Wind suddenly expanded.
Yang Kai’s spirit shook as he shouted, “We're out!”
Everyone was overjoyed and quickly turned their heads to look, but the branches of the ancient trees around them were covered in a dark green light, making it impossible to see anything clearly. However, the howling of the wind that had been constantly ringing in their ears suddenly stopped.
They had really rushed out of the Source of the Astral Wind!
A burst of suppressed cheers rang out.
In case of any accidents, Yang Kai didn’t immediately disperse the Towering Evergreen, instead continuing to maintain his momentum. After running for an hour, Yang Kai used his Divine Sense to check that he was safe, and only then did he withdraw his Wood Element Divine Ability.
When the light dissipated, everyone’s Divine Sense swept out and discovered that they were in a Shattered Spirit Province, about a hundred kilometers in radius. It was a barren land surrounded by endless void.
“Three Shi Brothers, protect me!” Yang Kai hurriedly said before sitting down cross-legged and immersing his consciousness into his Soul Avatar, and rushed into his Small Universe.
The three Shi Brothers had yet to figure out what was going on, so when they heard this, they quickly rushed over to Yang Kai’s side and looked around vigilantly.
At this moment, they weren’t sure if they had left Shadowless Cave Heaven or returned to the 3000 Worlds, so they were naturally worried about Yang Kai’s safety.
Inside the Small Universe, the scene was quite lively. Six Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage and nearly twenty Wind Spirits were engaged in a fierce battle, their figures flickering as they continuously released their artifacts power.
Even though Yang Kai had sealed off this entire battlefield, the shockwaves from the battle still caused his Small Universe to tremble violently.
Yang Kai’s figure suddenly appeared and the six people were all overjoyed.
The Proprietress said, “Yang Kai, these Wind Spirits are really difficult to deal with. With our strength, it’s impossible to destroy them.”
When the first Wind Spirit had appeared, it had taken nearly a hundred Open Heaven forces to dim it, not to mention that there were so many Wind Spirits here right now. Moreover, this is Yang Kai’s Small Universe, so they didn’t dare to release too much power, making their situation even more difficult.
“I know, I’ll handle it from now on, thank you everyone for your hard work!” As Yang Kai spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed, causing a small crack to appear on the Small Universe, revealing his aura. [Read on Hoogsway]
Mao Zhe frowned, “Can you do it alone?”
Yang Kai said, “I don’t know, but I still have to give it a try. With everyone here, I won’t be able to act freely, so please leave first.”
Mao Zhe was silent for a moment before shooting a meaningful glance at Geng Qing and Zhou Ya. The three of them then rushed out of the crack, followed by Hua Yong and his wife. The Proprietress looked at Yang Kai worriedly, not knowing what to say.
Yang Kai smiled lightly, “Proprietress, don’t worry, even if I can’t destroy them, dispersing them shouldn’t be a problem.”
When others were corroded by this Wind Spirit, they were unable to disperse it because those Open Heaven's Small Universe were still illusory existences. Yang Kai’s Small Universe had already transformed from illusory to real, so if he really had no other choice, he could completely separate this region. Although doing so would damage his foundation, there was no other way.
“Be careful, don’t force yourself!”
The Proprietress solemnly warned before leaving through the crack.
Closing his eyes again, Yang Kai quietly stared at the Wind Spirits and gnashed his teeth, “You guys are really making a scene!”
The Wind Spirits obviously didn’t understand what he was saying. Without the harassment of the Proprietress and the others, they immediately began devouring the Small Universe's foundation.
Yang Kai could clearly sense that his Small Universe's strength was rapidly pouring into these Wind Spirits, so even if he used some kind of method to seal off this region, he would not be able to stop them from devouring him.
To be honest, Yang Kai still didn’t understand what these Wind Spirits were. He only guessed that they were born from the Shadowless Astral Wind, but now it seemed that swallowing the Small Universe's foundation was their instinct, so these existences shouldn’t have their own consciousness and thoughts.
Time waited for no man. Every time these Wind Spirits stayed in the Small Universe's territory, his losses would increase. With a thought, Yang Kai shouted, “Moonlight Water!”
The bright moon hanging high up in the sky immediately began to glow brightly as the cold moonlight illuminated the surroundings.
Immediately, a layer of frost appeared on the Wind Spirits’ bodies, as if they were covered in white snow.
Yang Kai’s face lit up. His Water Element Divine Ability was effective, he was afraid that his strength wouldn’t have any effect on these Wind Spirits, so he could finally relax.
As the frost continued to spread, Yang Kai could clearly feel that the rate at which his Small Universe's foundation was being drained had greatly decreased. Many Wind Spirits also instinctively felt that something was wrong, and all of them, who had been quietly swallowing the Small Universe's foundation, suddenly looked up towards the full moon in the sky.
In the next moment, the Wind Spirits twisted their bodies and shattered the frost on their bodies, all of them pouncing towards the full moon, each of them releasing a whistling wind that caused the Small Universe to tremble violently.
