MARTIAL PEAK 5731

The universe was filled with endless chaotic Dao Marks. This place seemed to be a place where the Great Dao had been shattered, and the concept of space and time became extremely vague.

This was the interior of the Universe Furnace, an incredibly vast and incredible world.

Yang Kai flew through the void, activating the Sun and Moon Marks to sense the location of the nine Open Heaven Pills while familiarizing himself with the environment.

He didn't know much about the Universe Furnace, but based on his own experiences, he was now certain that the so-called Universe Furnace's opportunities would be fought over here.

From the looks of it, whether it was the Human Race or the Black Ink Clan, this time there would definitely be a large number of masters entering the Universe Furnace. Mo Na Ye, who had been trapped inside the projection space, should also be inside this furnace.

Yang Kai's brow rose slightly as he secretly made up his mind that if he could encounter this Mo Na Ye, he would definitely not let him off easy. If it was any other time, he would naturally not be Mo Na Ye's opponent, but in the projection space just now, this fellow had been covered in wounds, and now he didn't know how much strength he could display. If he really encountered him, he might have a chance to kill him!

However, this universe furnace world was vast and boundless, so it would not be easy to encounter Mo Na Ye here.

Calming his mind, he continued to investigate the situation inside the furnace world.

He had originally thought that the interior of this world would be completely empty. After all, it was only the interior of the Universe Furnace, not like the outside world's many Great Domains that had undergone the complete evolution of the Heavenly Dao. What could exist in this place with chaotic and disorderly Dao Marks?

However, along the way, Yang Kai realized he was wrong.

The scenery inside this furnace world was quite spectacular.

The place where the endless chaotic Dao Marks gathered was often a rare sight, similar to the many Celestial Phenomenon he had seen in the depths of the Ink Battlefield.

The biggest wonder was a large river!

It was unknown how far this river originated from, or where it extended to, but it was winding and twisting. Yang Kai was now following the direction of this river to explore the world inside the furnace.

However, he had been flying for three days and had traversed hundreds of millions of kilometers, yet he still couldn't see the end of this river.

The river was filled with the most commonly seen chaotic and disorderly broken Dao Marks, almost all of which were formed from these broken Dao Marks that were difficult to absorb and refine.

What surprised Yang Kai even more was that there were some strange existences in this river.

When he first encountered this river, he had been driven by curiosity to explore it, but soon he was attacked by an unknown monster.

This monster was truly difficult to describe. It didn't have a fixed form, but the key was that its existence was difficult to perceive. It had almost completely fused with the river, so before it erupted, Yang Kai didn't notice it at all.

Its strength was also quite unpredictable and difficult to determine. Fortunately, Yang Kai had always been vigilant in this unfamiliar environment, so he had not succeeded.

After suddenly encountering such a monster, Yang Kai also wanted to capture it and carefully investigate it, but after a fierce battle, although this monster was repelled, it fell into the river and disappeared, never to be found again.

It was as if it was just a splash from this strange river, or as if it was part of this river…

With this experience, Yang Kai tried a few more times and finally confirmed that this seemingly calm river contained endless dangers. These strange monsters could be seen everywhere.

It was really strange that such an existence could be produced in the Universe Furnace!

In order to avoid wasting any more time, Yang Kai did not take the initiative to explore the river and instead simply walked along it.

Three days later, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face as he looked up into the distance and saw a towering mountain range stretching across the sky.

Yang Kai couldn't help sighing in amazement. The world inside this Universe Furnace really did have some kind of universe. First there was this great river that seemed to come from some unknown place, but now there was actually such a huge mountain range.

It seemed that the mysteries of this Universe Furnace far exceeded his imagination.

Activating the Sun and Moon Marks, Yang Kai didn't find anything. In other words, the nine real Open Heaven Pills weren't within his range of perception.

After a moment of hesitation, Yang Kai turned around and flew towards the mountain range.

Now that his understanding of the Universe Furnace had reached a certain level, it was best for him to familiarize himself with the environment here.

Similar to the great river that seemed to pass through the entire universe furnace world, this mountain range didn't seem to have anything special about it from a distance, but when one looked closer, they would discover that this mountain range was condensed from the endless amount of shattered Dao Marks, seemingly both real and illusory.

There is strange monsters in the large river, what about this mountain range?

His Divine Sense was greatly obstructed in such a place, and even with Yang Kai's strength, he was unable to probe too far. This was something he had verified in the river, probably because of the interference of the shattered Dao Mark.

After circling around for a while but finding nothing, just as Yang Kai was about to leave, he suddenly stopped and turned his head towards a certain direction.

There seemed to be some energy fluctuations coming from that direction?

Someone was fighting here!

Yang Kai raised his brow and quickly rushed over. In just a moment, he saw the two opposing sides in the distance.

What surprised him a little was that the two people fighting were not good people. One of them was a Black Ink Clan master, and judging from his aura, he should be a Feudal Lord. The other one was the strange monster he had encountered in the river. He hadn't expected this mountain range to have such a creature.

The strength of the monster that Yang Kai had encountered in the great river was unclear and difficult to determine. The one in front of him was the same. Although he couldn't feel any powerful energy from its body, it was still able to fight with the Black Ink Clan Feudal Lord and even suppress him.

This kind of monster did not have a fixed form to begin with and had a profound ability to transform its body. The shattered Dao Marks that formed its body swirled about, making it look like a mass of chaotic water.

Shattered Dao Marks constantly shot out from its body, transforming into mysterious attacks that forced the Black Ink Clan Feudal Lord to retreat.

The Feudal Lord of the Black Ink Clan obviously realized that he wasn't this monster's opponent, so after a brief struggle, he decided to retreat. Activating his Ink Force, his body shook and a black ink cloud burst out, covering the monster and using it as a smokescreen, he quickly retreated, wanting to escape.

However, before he could run far, the surrounding space suddenly froze and his neck tightened as he was lifted up by a large hand.

The Black Ink Clan's Feudal Lord turned pale with fright and turned his head to see a smiling face he had seen somewhere before.

Human Race Eighth Order!

A name immediately popped up in the Feudal Lord's mind, causing him to tremble in fear as he blurted out, "Yang Kai!"

For a moment, his heart went cold. He had never imagined that he would be so unlucky. He had just come to this Universe Furnace world and was attacked by a strange monster. Before he could escape, he had been captured by the killing star of the Human Race!

How could he survive?

"You recognize me?" Yang Kai smiled at the Feudal Lord and gently put him down, not using any kind of sealing technique, but the Feudal Lord still stood obediently in front of him, not daring to make any movements.

This was because he knew that in front of the Human Race's Killing Star, he wouldn't be able to stir up any waves. Facing Yang Kai's question, he simply nodded bitterly, "Naturally, I recognize Sir Yang Kai."

Yang Kai nodded. Being able to encounter a Black Ink Clan Feudal Lord here confirmed some of his previous speculations. The opportunities of this Universe Furnace really had to be fought inside. Since the Black Ink Clan had entered this place, there would definitely be other human race, but this place was too vast and there were chaotic Dao Marks all around, so it was not easy to encounter them.

It just so happened that he urgently needed someone to inquire about the outside world.

Immediately, he said, "Since you recognize me, there's no need to waste your breath. Answer a few of my questions and I'll give you a quick death later."

The Black Ink Clan's Feudal Lord's expression became even more bitter. He knew that encountering this Human Race's Killing Star wasn't a good thing, so he was afraid he really wouldn't be able to survive this time… In the end, he would die, so he simply ignored Yang Kai.

Seeing through his thoughts, Yang Kai said lightly, "After fighting with the Human Race for so many years, everyone has basically met on the battlefield. Life and death is only a matter of moments, I'm afraid your Black Ink Clan has never experienced the methods of the Human Race to extract one's soul and refine it. Death is not a painful matter, but there is one thing in this world that is worse than death!"

Saying so, Yang Kai stretched out his hand and pressed it down on the head of the Black Ink Clan Feudal Lord, using his Divine Sense to tear through his Soul defense.

A moment later, Yang Kai withdrew his hand and the Black Ink Clan's Feudal Lord collapsed to the ground, his eyes wide open, as if he had just experienced something extremely terrifying.

The short experience just now had allowed him to understand what Yang Kai meant by living a life worse than death.

"If I ask, you answer! If you try to conceal or deceive me, you should know the consequences," Yang Kai looked down at him and said firmly.

The Black Ink Clan's Feudal Lord nodded repeatedly, no longer showing any signs of resistance.

"How is the situation outside?"

"I don't know…" The Feudal Lord shook his head, a trace of fear still appearing on his face, "I entered through the Spatial Territory's entrance, so I don't know much about the other battlefields."

This was also the reason why he was able to recognize Yang Kai at a glance. Since he had come from the Spatial Territory, he should have been in the No-Return Pass all these years. Yang Kai has been staying outside the No-Return Pass over the years and even to wreck havoc in the No-Return Pass in the past, so he naturally see Yang Kai's face from afar.

Yang Kai couldn't help but frown, "How many people from your Black Ink Clan have come from the Spatial Territory?"

"I don't know the exact number, but that day in the Spatial Territory, my Black Ink Clan's people was between five million and eight million. After the Universe Furnace's projection condensed, under the orders of the Royal Lord, all of them entered."
