MARTIAL PEAK 5694
"Look over there!" Beside him, Ouyang Lie sent a voice transmission to Yang Kai and pointed in a certain direction.
Yang Kai turned his head and saw a dead universe world. It was unknown how long that universe world had been dead, but the World Force had ceased to exist, and the World Great Dao had long since collapsed.
Such universe world could be found everywhere on the Ink Battlefield. In the distant past, they might have been prosperous, or perhaps hundreds of millions of living creatures had lived there, but today, all that was left was a deathly silence. Whether it was the Human Race or the Black Ink Clan, these universe world's final value was to be used to mine the remaining materials.
What Ouyang Lie wanted Yang Kai to see was naturally not this universe world, but something on it.
It was a strange existence that was several hundred zhang tall and towering like a small mountain, surrounded by a thick Ink Force. It was deeply rooted in this universe world, seemingly one with it.
Ink Nest! Yang Kai's eyes narrowed.
There was actually an Ink Nest here! Moreover, judging from the scale of this Ink Nest and the surging Ink Force surrounding it, it was at least a Territory Lord-level Ink Nest, and it was highly likely to be a Royal Lord-level Ink Nest.
How could there be such a Ink Nest here? Yang Kai couldn't help wondering.
Ouyang Lie's voice once again rang out beside his ear, "Ten years ago, I and a few other Eighth Order masters led the tens of thousands of cultivators to a nearby mining site. When we came here to investigate the situation, we inadvertently discovered this thing."
Because it wasn't convenient for them to expose themselves, and because they didn't know how many Black Ink Clan masters there were, Ouyang Lie and the others decided to wait for Yang Kai's arrival while the others led the tens of thousands of cultivators away from this area to continue mining supplies.
This wait lasted for ten years. After all, Yang Kai had always taken the initiative to find them, so Ouyang Lie and the others had no way of contacting him.
Ouyang Lie had also been calculating the day, fortunately, Yang Kai appeared on time.
Yang Kai observed carefully and found that the Ink Nest was most likely a Royal Lord-level Ink Nest. The reason it wasn't as large as a Royal Lord-level Ink Nest was likely because it hadn't fully hatched yet. Moreover, the Ink Force born from the Ink Nest didn't radiate in all directions, instead condensing into the Ink Nest as much as possible to avoid unnecessary waste.
"When Senior Brother discovered this Ink Nest, was it like this?"
Ouyang Lie nodded lightly, "Nothing has changed."
"Did you see any Black Ink Clan members entering or leaving?"
Ouyang Lie shook his head, "No."
This was a bit strange. This Ink Nest, which was most likely a Royal Lord-level Ink Nest, stood in this remote place, and there was no sign of the Black Ink Clan entering or exiting. Could it be that the Black Ink Clan had abandoned it a long time ago?
This wasn't right either. The Ink Nest was a very special existence and had a very strong connection with each other. If a Royal Lord-level Ink Nest was abandoned here, it would be very easy for the Black Ink Clan to find it.
However, in the past ten years, Ouyang Lie had not seen a single Black Ink Clan member enter or leave this Ink Nest. In other words, the Black Ink Clan knew of the existence of this Ink Nest but had never paid it any attention.
It was impossible for such an Ink Nest to not have a Black Ink Clan member inside it. At the very least, there would be some Black Ink Clan soldiers here to guard and extract supplies, but this Ink Nest in front of them didn't even have any Black Ink Clan soldiers.
"Junior Brother, do you want me to go investigate?" Ouyang Lie asked. He had wanted to do this for a long time, but he didn't know what was happening inside the Ink Nest, so he didn't dare act rashly. It wasn't easy for him to wait until Yang Kai arrived, so if he had Yang Kai to stand guard, it wouldn't be a problem for him to investigate.
Yang Kai slowly shook his head, "I'll go!"
Now that the situation was unclear, he had to prepare for the worst case scenario. If there was a Royal Lord-level master guarding the Ink Nest, Ouyang Lie would be courting death if he rushed over.
On the other hand, even if he really provoked the Royal Lord, he was confident he could escape.
Hearing this, Ouyang Lie nodded, "Then I'll support Junior Brother!"
"Senior Brother, be careful!" Yang Kai warned as he looked towards the direction of the Ink Nest before taking a step forward and disappearing into the void.
No matter what, he had to investigate the situation inside the Ink Nest. Since he had made his decision, there was no need to hesitate.
In the next moment, under Ouyang Lie's gaze, Yang Kai's figure suddenly appeared above the Ink Nest. A dazzling sun suddenly rose up and illuminated the surrounding void. Even from a million kilometers away, Ouyang Lie could feel the power of this attack.
The brilliant sun, the Golden Crow's cry, descended directly towards the Ink Nest. In an instant, a burst of light burst out, causing the void to become as bright as day.
The several hundred zhang tall Ink Nest melted like a snowflake under a blazing sun, and at the same time, Ouyang Lie noticed that within the Ink Nest, more than a dozen powerful auras were being released.
Feeling the strength of these auras, Ouyang Lie's heart relaxed. Although the situation was bad, it wasn't so bad that it was difficult to clean up.
There were actually more than a dozen Territory Lords hiding inside the Ink Nest, but none of them were Royal Lord. To Yang Kai, as long as there was no Royal Lord, he was invincible!
Just as this thought flashed through his mind, the aura of a Territory Lord was destroyed…
So fast!
In the blink of an eye, one of the Territory Lords had died under Yang Kai's hands. This speed was simply too fast for him to catch up to, and before he could even finish sighing, another Territory Lord's aura had been extinguished.
Ouyang Lie sighed helplessly, not knowing if Yang Kai was too strong or if these Territory Lords were too weak.
Because he was too far away, he couldn't clearly feel what was happening, but Yang Kai, who was in the center of the battlefield, could see more than him.
While the Golden Crow Sun Casting destroyed the Ink Nest, Yang Kai was also secretly on guard against the possible existence of a Royal Lord. Fortunately, there was no sign of a Royal Lord in the Ink Nest, only Territory Lords, and all of them were Innate Territory Lords.
The Golden Crow Sun Casting was just a test, but he had never expected it to make such a great contribution. Under the cover of this Divine Ability Manifestation, not only was the Royal Lord-level Ink Nest destroyed, but the dozen or so Territory Lords hidden inside were all injured…
However, Yang Kai soon realized that the situation wasn't right. The injuries of these Territory Lords weren't entirely due to the Golden Crow Sun Casting. After all, all of them were Innate Territory Lords, so even if they were injured, their injuries shouldn't be so obvious.
In the blink of an eye, Yang Kai came to his senses. These Innate Territory Lords… were originally injured. They had been hiding in the Ink Nest, using the power of the Ink Nest to hibernate and heal themselves, so they had been completely unprepared for his attack.
Since they were already injured and had eaten a Golden Crow Sun Casting, their injuries had naturally worsened.
More than a thousand years ago, when Yang Kai went to the Holy Spirit Ancestral Land, he was able to kill Innate Territory Lord in three moves even when he was at his peak. Although he had used some tricks at that time, even if he didn't use any, killing a Innate Territory Lord in ten moves was no problem.
Right now, whether it was in terms of his own cultivation, Small Universe's foundation, or his comprehension of the Great Dao, he had improved greatly compared to before he had gone to the Holy Spirit Ancestral Land. Even if there really was a Innate Territory Lord in his peak state standing in front of him, he didn't need to use ten moves, nor did he need any schemes. He was confident he could kill any Innate Territory Lord in three moves.
These injured Territory Lords were not at the peak of their strength, so after being ambushed, they had panicked. Now that they had encountered a Killing Star like Yang Kai, how could they possibly have any good results?
In the blink of an eye, two Innate Territory Lords had fallen. The sound of their auras withering caused the other Territory Lords to turn pale with fright, subconsciously thinking that the one who had ambushed them was a Ninth Order Human Race master!
However, upon closer inspection, they discovered that it was only an Eighth Order Human Race cultivator!
The outside world was actually so dangerous? Since when had an Eighth Order Human Race master become so powerful? It had to be known that they were all powerful Innate Territory Lords!
If the Territory Lords in the No-Return Pass face this situation, they would have quickly set up a battle formation to defend against the enemy. However, these Innate Territory Lords had never practiced any kind of battle formation, so they had no idea how to form a battle formation to defend against the enemy. In their haste, they didn't have any appropriate methods to deal with this situation, so they just instinctively began attacking Yang Kai.
Ink Force surged, black ink clouds drifted, and World Force surged endlessly, instantly transforming the peaceful void into a battlefield of slaughter.
The long spear in Yang Kai's hand swung back and forth as a great sun burst forth, recklessly unleashing his powerful strength, the Great Dao of Space and Time, and many other Dao Concepts formed a dense killing net with him as the center. In this invisible net, the Innate Territory Lords struggled and roared like prey caught in a net, but it was inevitable that they would be killed.
In the distance, Ouyang Lie was already dumbstruck. As the powerful auras rapidly withered, a single thought surged in his heart.
This little brat… how could he be so fierce?
In front of him, an Eighth Order veteran like him didn't even have the qualifications to carry his shoes. Everyone here cultivated the Open Heaven Method and were also peak Eighth Order masters, so how could the gap between them be so big?
He couldn't figure it out…
Even though the Innate Territory Lords were injured, they were not pushovers. Facing Yang Kai's merciless attacks, their instinctive counterattacks were not to be underestimated.
If it were any other Eighth Order Human Race cultivator, even if they had powerful attacks and defensive capabilities, it would be difficult for them to last in this environment where they were surrounded by enemies.
However, Yang Kai was different. He was only a step away from breaking through to the Divine Dragon Bloodline, how could it be a joke? When the Territory Lords' attacks landed on him, he was completely able to withstand them, so as long as he didn't take too long, his life wouldn't be in danger, and the corrosion of the Ink Force wouldn't have any effect on him.
Being unafraid of the corrosion of the Ink Force, Yang Kai was able to protect himself. What he needed to do now was to use his most powerful killing move. Most of the time, he would fight the Territory Lords head-on, but after enduring their attacks, the result was completely different.
At most, Yang Kai's body would tremble and he would suffer some minor injuries. The Territory Lords would probably die on the spot.
In less than a hundred breaths of time, nearly ten Territory Lords had fallen, and the remaining five finally realized that something was wrong and fled in all directions.
The strength of this Eighth Order Human Race cultivator who had suddenly appeared was too terrifying, it was not something they could deal with, so they could only hope that one of them would escape…
If they could survive, they would have to quickly send this person's information to the No-Return Pass!
