MARTIAL PEAK 5637

Back then, when Yang Kai was only a Sixth Order Open Heaven, he had used the World Force of the Star Boundary to attack the Seventh Order Open Heaven Zuo Quan Hui from Thousand Crane Paradise.

The battle that had allowed him to borrow the power of the Star Boundary had allowed his strength to temporarily increase from the Sixth Order to Seventh Order, allowing him to resolve the crisis.

Although borrowing this force this time would not allow his grade to increase, it was likely that he had borrowed the right opportunity!

This was also something Yang Kai had secretly prepared beforehand. If he really had no choice but to fight with the Royal Lord, he would have to borrow the power of the Ancestral Land. However, in a moment of anger, he had used this hidden method in advance.

With a loud roar, the Ancestral Land began to buzz. As the three hundred years passed, the gradually weakening Ancestral Qi suddenly became rich, as if the Ancestral Qi hidden deep underground had surged up with Yang Kai's words.

Not only that, but from all directions, the entire Ancestral Land's Ancestral Qi began to converge on Yang Kai's body. In the blink of an eye, a layer of Ancestral Qi appeared on his body, dazzling, bright, and glorious.

This scene caused Di Wu's eyes to twitch. If this was all there was to it, it wouldn't be a big deal, but as the Ancestral Land's Ancestral Qi surged, Di Wu was shocked to discover that the suppression of this world had suddenly become stronger.

The most obvious sign was that the Ink Force in his body had become slightly sluggish.

The reason he had waited here for three hundred years before taking action was because the Ancestral Land had been suppressing him for a long time. The suppression from before was very obvious, and if he really provoked Yang Kai, he wasn't confident he could resolve it.

It wasn't easy for the Ancestral Qi to dissipate so much that the invisible pressure was almost negligible, but unexpectedly, Yang Kai's words caused another change.

Di Wu, who was filled with confidence, suddenly felt uneasy.

Before he had time to think, a bright light suddenly appeared in front of him. It was Yang Kai who had taken the initiative to attack. The pain from his Soul and the anger from being beaten made him completely lose his rationality. He didn't even raise his Azure Dragon Spear, only raising his fist and smashing it towards Di Wu.

A thick layer of Ancestral Qi formed a protective barrier around his body, forming an oval curtain of light around his fist.

This punch could be said to be extremely powerful and contained the full strength of his entire body. If this punch were to land on the smaller Universe World, it would probably shatter the entire Universe World.

Even someone as strong as Di Wu was unable to react in time. Yang Kai's speed was simply too fast, and with the help of his Space Principle, he arrived in front of him in an instant.

In a hurry, Di Wu could only raise his arms in front of his chest.

This punch landed right on the spot where Di Wu's arms crossed, causing his body to bend and the Ink Force around him to disperse. A visible shockwave spread out from his feet and he almost fell to his knees.

Di Wu flew into a rage. Taking advantage of the moment when Yang Kai raised his fist again, Di Wu also punched out with all his strength towards Yang Kai's face.

Before this punch had even landed, Di Wu had already determined the effect the Ancestral Land had on him.

It wasn't too big, suppressing about ten percent of his strength was still within an acceptable range. It seemed that the surging Ancestral Qi was just an illusion and wasn't as serious as he had imagined. After all, Yang Kai had been absorbing the Ancestral Qi for the past three hundred years and had lost too much of the Ancestral Land's strength. Even if there was still some of it left, it should only be a final burst of strength. As long as he could hold on for a while longer, Yang Kai's borrowed strength would collapse.

If he had been suppressed by more than thirty percent, Di Wu would have considered retreating first.

With two loud bangs, the two fists hit their respective targets.

Di Wu was sent flying while Yang Kai was also sent flying far away. In this close combat fight, neither side had the upper hand.

In terms of absolute strength, Di Wu was much stronger than the current Yang Kai, so Yang Kai should have withstand a much greater amount of force.

However, the Ancestral Land was currently suppressing Di Wu by ten percent, and in addition to the protective barrier formed from the Ancestral Qi around Yang Kai's body, it had reduced Di Wu's strength slightly. Therefore, even if Yang Kai's strength was inferior to Di Wu's, he didn't suffer much.

As if he had gone mad, he once again stabilized himself in mid-air and rushed towards Di Wu before he could land.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Di Wu and punched again.

Di Wu was stunned.

He had fought with many Eighth Order Human Race masters in the past, but he had never encountered such a situation before. The key was that his current opponent was showing signs of losing his rationality, making it difficult to predict.

Facing Yang Kai's unreasonable and violent close combat attack, he could only try his best to resist.

For a time, two figures flew about the Ancestral Land, constantly exchanging punches and kicks. The scene was extremely lively, but there was not the slightest trace of a master demeanor.

However, when this scene fell into the eyes of the four Territory Lords, as well as the Territory Lords who were in charge of the Four Gates and Eighth Palaces Array, all of them were secretly shocked.

Although the scene was quite funny, the Territory Lords could clearly feel the terrifying power of the punches and kicks. No matter which Territory Lord it was, they wouldn't be able to endure such attacks.

This Human Race's killing star had grown to such a degree?

The fear the Black Ink Clan masters felt towards Yang Kai was basically accompanied by a strange method that could harm the Soul. Even Innate Territory Lords who were injured by this method would be instantly killed, so when facing Yang Kai, they would immediately protect their Souls.

Regarding Yang Kai's strength, they actually didn't have much fear.

Yang Kai might be stronger than an ordinary Eighth Order Open Heaven cultivator, but no matter how strong he was, he still had his limits. Putting aside the strange method that could harm the Soul, two or three Innate Territory Lords working together were enough to fight him.

This was the objective and fair evaluation of all the Territory Lords who had interacted with Yang Kai before. Most of the Black Ink Clan masters' impression of Yang Kai was only at this level.

So this time, after Yang Kai used the Soul Shattering Spike, Di Wu felt like he was a toothless tiger, nothing to fear. Not only did Di Wu think so, but the other Territory Lords also thought so. This was definitely the best opportunity to kill Yang Kai, otherwise, once he recovered and grasped this method again, it would be troublesome.

However, when Di Wu and Yang Kai really began fighting, the masters of the Black Ink Clan realized that things were not as they had imagined.

Yang Kai had indeed fallen into a disadvantageous position, but the fact that he was able to fight with a Pseudo-Royal Lord to such an extent and not be killed in such a short time was beyond everyone's expectations.

Of course, this was because Di Wu was suppressed by the Ancestral Land, but it also meant that Yang Kai's strength had far exceeded their understanding.

It seemed that this was all thanks to Yang Kai's two thousand years of secluded cultivation.

The Territory Lords were both shocked and secretly rejoiced. Such a fellow was fortunate to have no hope of reaching the Ninth Order in his life. If he had a chance to reach the Ninth Order, all of the Black Ink Clan's and even the Royal Lords would have been unable to sleep or eat in peace.

In the midst of this fierce battle, Di Wu found an opportunity to break free from Yang Kai's entanglement and slightly increase the distance between them, constantly using his Secret Technique to attack Yang Kai.

He could also tell that Yang Kai's mental state was not right at this moment. It was likely the after-effects of using such a strange method, which was why he was constantly charging towards him. This was a good opportunity for him.

A series of powerful Secret Techniques burst out from the hands of this Pseudo-Royal Lord, and the thick Ink Force constantly burst forth, causing Yang Kai to fall into a miserable state. Even the Ancestral Qi barrier on his body was constantly being torn apart and restored.

The power of the Ancestral Land continued to gather towards him, transforming into a solid barrier that enveloped him.

If this layer of protection is not completely destroyed, it would be difficult for Yang Kai to suffer any fatal injuries.

Occasionally, Yang Kai would take advantage of this opportunity to rush over to Di Wu and give him a good punch. Every time this happened, Di Wu would appear extremely miserable.

Wanting to escape from an opponent who was proficient in Space Principle was not an easy task. Di Wu could only rejoice that Yang Kai was acting on instinct at this moment, otherwise, under the control of his Space Principle, no matter how unwilling he was, he would have to fight Yang Kai in close combat.

The toughness of a Pseudo- Divine Dragon's body wasn't something a Pseudo-Royal Lord like him could compare with.

After a while, seeing that Yang Kai's Ancestral Qi protection had been completely repaired, Di Wu finally gave up on the idea of fighting alone.

The reason why he had insisted on fighting with Yang Kai alone was mainly because this was his first battle after becoming a Pseudo-Royal Lord, and his opponent was a character like Yang Kai. He wanted to take all the credit so that when he returned, he could enjoy all the glory in front of the Royal Lord.

Since things couldn't be done, there was no need to force it.

As such, after breaking free from Yang Kai's entanglement and sending him flying, Di Wu roared, "What are you all waiting for!?"

The four Territory Lords who had been standing on the periphery of the battlefield silently cursed in their hearts. Without any hesitation, they all activated their Secret Techniques and attacked Yang Kai.

Yang Kai had just managed to stabilize himself when he was enveloped by a Secret Technique from all directions. The Ancestral Qi condensed on his body was instantly broken and he was sent flying like a ragdoll.

Falling heavily to the ground, Yang Kai spat out a mouthful of golden blood as a cool sensation continued to spread through his mind, allowing him to regain some consciousness.

The Soul Warming Lotus had been constantly using its power to repair his damaged Soul, but this time, his injuries were quite serious, and only now did they take effect.

His own situation and the crisis around him left him somewhat at a loss, but before he could think deeply about it, several more Secret Techniques arrived.

Activating his strength to protect himself, the Ancestral Qi once again condensed into a thick defensive barrier, but it only lasted for a breath before being broken again.

As the various Secret Techniques bombarded his body, Yang Kai felt his five viscera and six bowels roil, and his bones felt like they were being broken.

Yang Kai's heart couldn't help sinking as his muddled consciousness finally regained some clarity. All the previous events flashed across his mind as he realized that he had inadvertently made a big mistake and had somehow ended up like this.
