As he used the Universe Escape Law, Yang Kai’s expression slowly became serious.
He had set up the Universe Formation on Breaking Dawn, and he had also left his own mark in the Universe Formation. As long as it was not too far away, he could use the Universe Escape Law to form a resonance with Breaking Dawn.
Although it had taken him quite some time to chase down a powerful enemy, judging from the distance, he should not have reached the limit.
However, now that he had used the Universe Escape Law, he was unable to connect with Breaking Dawn at all, which surprised him greatly. There was only one possibility for such a situation to occur, and that was that Breaking Dawn’s Universe Formation was damaged, which was why his Universe Escape Law had no effect.
As for the Universe Formation, it was located in the deepest part of Breaking Dawn. If the protective array was not damaged, it would be impossible for the Universe Formation to be affected. Now that Breaking Dawn’s Universe Formation had been damaged, it was easy to imagine that a fierce battle had broken out with the Dawn Squad.
Did they encountered a Territory Lord, or did they encountered a large group of Black Ink Clans?
Yang Kai’s brow wrinkled as he thought about these two possibilities. Otherwise, with the Dawn Squad’s current strength, such a thing would never have happened.
However, he wasn’t too worried. Dawn Squad still has four Seventh Order masters, and Feng Ying was holding down the fort. Even if they encountered the Territory Lord, if they couldn’t defeat him, they would still be able to escape.
Now was not the time to be anxious, and he could not use the Universe Escape Law to quickly return. The battle over there should have ended by now, so it was likely that they had already returned to the base.
Taking out the Universe Chart, Yang Kai checked his position before turning around and heading towards the base.
On the way back, Yang Kai would occasionally encounter a team from the Black Ink Clan, but all of them had been killed by Yang Kai. After chasing the ambusher for so long, he was still able to escape, so Yang Kai could only vent his anger on them.
After traveling for less than half a day, he encountered two teams from the Black Ink Clan. Their numbers were small, and their overall strength wasn’t great. There weren’t even any Feudal Lords present, making them look like scouts from the Black Ink Clan.
However, since they encountered Yang Kai, there was no way they could survive.
Not long after, a burst of violent energy fluctuations suddenly came from the distant void. Yang Kai’s heart jumped as he realized that there were masters fighting, so he immediately directed his eyes towards the source of the fluctuations.
Faintly, Yang Kai could see two figures entangled in the void. One was extremely tall, while the other was of a normal size. Both of their attacks were extremely fierce, and even from far away, Yang Kai could feel the terrifying shockwaves of their attacks.
This was a battle between a Territory Lord and an Eighth Order Open Heaven!
Since they were too far away, Yang Kai couldn’t see who the Eighth Order Open Heaven cultivator was, much less what the situation was like between these two. But after a moment of contemplation, Yang Kai quickly withdrew his aura and quietly approached.
The space where the battlefield was located was filled with Universe Fragments, making it a good place to hide.
If it was any other time, Yang Kai’s approach would definitely have been noticed by the two masters fighting. After all, although Yang Kai’s ability to conceal himself was quite good, it was still quite difficult for him to hide from the senses of a higher level master.
However, at this moment, whether it was the Territory Lord of the Black Ink Clan or the Eighth Order Human Race, all of them were focused on dealing with the enemy, so how could they have the spare energy to pay attention to their surroundings?
Yang Kai easily closed the distance of a thousand kilometers between the battlefield and hid in a piece of Universe Fragment, concealing his aura to the limit. If one didn’t pay attention to him, even if they were to look at him with their naked eyes, they would not notice his existence.
Carefully glancing over, Yang Kai quickly retracted his gaze, not daring to look any further. Experts like the Black Ink Clan’s Territory Lord and the Human Race’s Eighth Order were extremely sensitive to the attention of others, and if they weren’t careful, their whereabouts would be exposed.
With a quick glance, Yang Kai discovered that he didn’t recognize the Eighth Order Human Race cultivator who was fighting the Black Ink Clan’s Territory Lord.
In the fourth base, there were a total of four Eighth Order Open Heaven masters. He had seen Zha Hu before, and he also knew Lu An. Since he didn't know who this person is, it meant that he was either Xie Xiuping or Xu Boliang.
No matter which one it was, the battle at this moment did not disappoint the reputation of the Garrison Chief. It actually occupied the absolute upper hand, suppressing the Black Ink Clan’s Territory Lord to the point where he couldn’t even breathe.
This scene surprised Yang Kai greatly.
Although under the premise that they were of the same grade, because of the accumulation of the Human Race’s cultivation, they were somewhat stronger than the Black Ink Clan, the higher the grade, the smaller the gap. At the level of the Old Ancestor and the Royal Lord, the gap was almost negligible. The cultivation and accumulation of the Royal Lord was not much worse than that of the Human Race’s Old Ancestor.
The gap between a Seventh Order Open Heaven and a Black Ink Clan Feudal Lord was quite obvious at times, but the gap between an Eighth Order Open Heaven and the Black Ink Clan Territory Lord was almost impossible to detect. Back in Blue sky Pass, Zhong Liang had fought with a Black Ink Clan Territory Lord, resulting in both sides suffering heavy losses.
What Yang Kai saw now was that the Human Race’s Eighth Order Open Heaven had an absolute advantage. The Black Ink Clan Territory Lord was only able to resist, unable to fight back at all. Not only that, but the Black Ink Clan Territory Lord’s body was covered in many terrifying wounds and black blood was flowing out from them.
Was this Eighth Order Open Heaven master really so strong? Or was it because this Territory Lord’s strength was a bit too weak?
However, this situation allowed Yang Kai to rejoice that he had snuck over.
Although the Eighth Order Human Race had the advantage and the Black Ink Clan Territory Lord seemed to be suppressed to the point where he couldn’t fight back, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. In any case, the Black Ink Clan Territory Lord was still a Territory Lord. It was easy for that Eighth Order to injure him, but it was extremely difficult to kill him.
Yang Kai felt that he could find an opportunity to help this Eighth Order master, but there shouldn’t be too many such opportunities, so he had to wait patiently.
He was only a Seventh Order Open Heaven cultivator, so rashly interfering in this kind of battle was a very dangerous move. The Black Ink Clan Territory Lord is desperate, but the Eighth Order did not act rashly.
This was probably because the Eighth Order Open Heaven had not been too forceful and had only been constantly consuming his opponent’s strength, waiting for the right opportunity.
As the battle continued, Yang Kai only observe the two figures on the battlefield from the corner of his eyes and determine the flow of the battle.
As time passed, the Black Ink Clan's Territory Lord became more exhausted. He tried to escape, but was always blocked by the Eighth Order Human Race cultivator. Every time he was about to go all out, the Eighth Order Human Race would slow down his attacks, giving him the illusion that he could still hold on.
Just like that, the two of them continued to fight.
During this fierce battle, the Eighth Order Human Race cultivator had also suffered some injuries, but none of them were serious. The only thing holding him back was the Ink Force the Territory Lord had used.
Although the Eighth Order Open Heaven was extremely resistant to the corrosion of the Ink Force, it was impossible for them to be contaminated by the Ink Force for a long time. Once the Ink Force invaded his Small Universe, he would have to return to the base to use the Purification Light.
However, this was a rare opportunity. Although he was unable to kill this Territory Lord, he was determined to severely wound him and send him back to the Ink Nest to recuperate for a few dozen years.
Time passed, seemingly fast but actually slow. Half a day seemed like ten million years. Yang Kai had been waiting for an opportunity to act, but he had never been able to succeed.
Just as he was feeling anxious, the battlefield suddenly changed.
It was unknown what kind of Secret Technique the Black Ink Clan’s Territory Lord had used, but eight thick waves of Ink Force suddenly surged out from his body, transforming into pitch-black chains that sealed the surrounding space, trapping the Eighth Order Human Race cultivator inside.
The Eighth Order Human Race cultivator was unable to move for a moment, and with a fierce expression, he used his Secret Technique to attack the Territory Lord.
The Territory Lord’s expression changed drastically, obviously wanting to dodge, but as if he was being restrained by his own Secret Technique, he also froze in place, the Secret Techniques bombarding his body, causing him to vomit blood.
This sudden change not only stunned Yang Kai, but also stunned the Eighth Order Human Race cultivator. He really couldn’t understand why this Black Ink Clan’s Territory Lord would make such a foolish move.
Although the Secret Technique he used was powerful and had the effect of trapping his opponent, what use was it if his body was also restricted?
Seeing this, Yang Kai’s eyes lit up. After waiting for so long, the opportunity had finally arrived.
Just as he was about to use his Space Laws to break into the battlefield to assist the Eighth Order Open Heaven, a feather of light suddenly flew over from one of the Universe Fragments a thousand kilometers away.
The feather of light was like a bolt of lightning, transforming into a pair of wings. As soon as it appeared, it shot towards the side of the Eighth Order Open Heaven.
At this moment, the Eighth Order Human Race cultivator was completely suppressed by the Black Ink Clan Territory Lord’s Secret Technique and was unable to dodge at all. Moreover, this attack was so fast and stealthy that there was not even the slightest sign of it.
The Eighth Order Human Race master’s expression changed drastically as he pushed his Small Universe’s power to the limit to protect himself.
However, the light feather still slammed into his body, shattering his hastily circulated defensive barrier and causing blood to spurt out. The Human Race Eighth Order’s side and abdomen were almost completely destroyed as his aura rapidly weakened.
He had been fighting with the Black Ink Clan’s Territory Lord for a long time and had long since lost his peak strength. He had also suffered many injuries and was now being ambushed by an enemy hidden in a hidden location.
On the other hand, the Black Ink Clan’s Territory Lord, who had been suppressed by him all this time, took this opportunity to immediately withdraw his Secret Technique and send a punch forward.
The Eighth Order human race barely managed to block it, but he still spat out a mouthful of blood. Not only that, but the thick Ink Force around him also surged madly towards his body.
Before he had been seriously injured, he had barely been able to resist the corrosion of the Ink Force, but now that he had been seriously injured and punched by this Territory Lord, he was no longer able to resist the corrosion of the Ink Force.
In the past, when such a situation occurred, this Eighth Order Open Heaven cultivator would have immediately cut off his own Small Universe to prevent him from being corroded and losing even more territory.
However, with the Expelling Black Ink Battleship guarding the base and the Purification Light sealed inside, as long as he returned before he was unable to maintain his will, he would be fine.
As such, not only did this Eighth Order not leave the battlefield immediately, he instead used his finger like a sword and slashed towards the Territory Lord.
The Territory Lord hadn’t expected his enemy to be so ruthless, even abandoning his own foundation in order to exterminate him. Originally, he had planned to pursue this enemy, but when he saw the human’s finger strike him, he let out a startled cry and turned around to flee.
