MARTIAL PEAK 4781


The higher the grade of the Open Heaven Stage cultivator, the stronger their strength would be. There was a huge gap between each grade. For example, if they were to face a Seventh Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator alone, they would not be able to fight back, let alone an Eighth Order.


In the eyes of an Eighth Order Open Heaven Stage master, a Sixth Order was probably no different from an ant.


However, Yang Kai had been chased down by an Eighth Order Open Heaven.


Now that he had appeared here, there was no need to mention how he had ended up. Obviously, he had successfully escaped from the pursuit of that Eighth Order Open Heaven.


This kind of situation was even more shocking and admirable than when Yang Kai had single-handedly defeated the entire Lang Ya Sixth Order Open Heaven.


“It was also at that time that I coincidentally entered the Holy Spirit Ancestral Land. Senior also knows that I have the Dragon Clan’s bloodline, so naturally, I was like a fish in water when I entered the Ancestral Land,” Yang Kai continued, “In the Ancestral Land, this Junior saw the black Giant Spiritul God sealed in ancient times.”


“Inked Giant Spiritual God!” Yuan Du exclaimed.


“That’s right,” Yang Kai nodded, “But speaking of which, I didn’t know why the Giant Spiritual God looked like that, nor why it was sealed in the Holy Spirit Ancestral Land. After all, the Giant Spiritual God is a warm and gentle race. If you don’t provoke him, he won’t provoke you. For a long time, this Junior has been wondering what kind of conflict the Giant Spiritual God that was sealed in the ancient times had with the Holy Spirits in the Ancestral Land.”


“It wasn’t until Elder Shi Zheng enlightened me with his Black Ink Insect that this Junior realized that the Giant Spiritual God had already fallen into the Ink’s arms. It was probably for this reason that the Holy Spirit in the Ancient Land fought with him.”


Yuan Du’s eyes lit up, “That’s the only reason. It seems that the Giant Spiritual God was indeed enlightened.”


After walking back and forth for a while, Yuan Du’s expression became both excited and nervous. Suddenly, he stopped and asked, “Martial Nephew, are you sure that GIant Spiritual God is dead?”


Yang Kai revealed a look of reminiscence as he said, “Although countless years have passed, the corpse of that Giant Spiritual God is still undying. The Holy Spirits in the Ancestral Land all say that he is dead, but I don’t know the exact details. After all, I didn’t get a close look, but that place is regarded as a forbidden area by the Holy Spirits of the Ancestral Land, so no one dares to approach it.”


These words were half true and half false. Yang Kai was certain that the Giant Spiritual God had died. After all, many of the Holy Spirits, led by the Phoenix Clan and the Kun Clan, had even risked entering the Giant Spiritual God's body to investigate, but they hadn’t found any signs of life.


“Then there’s a chance he didn’t die!” Yuan Du’s expression became even more excited, “How powerful is the Giant Spiritual God? How could it be so easily killed? Even the Holy Spirit couldn’t do it! He was just sealed there, accumulating his strength, waiting for the opportunity to make a comeback!”


Saying so, Yuan Du laughed loudly and patted Yang Kai’s shoulder, “Martial Nephew, you really are my Black Ink Disciple's lucky star, bringing me such good news the moment you arrived.”


“Master,” Gu Ling’er called out from the side, “Should we think of a way to save that Giant Spiritual God?”


Yuan Du said in a low voice, “Of course, such a powerful ally must be saved, but before that, we must first determine if he is still alive or not. If he is, we must naturally save him. If he really is dead, then so be it, but… after all, that is the Holy Spirit Ancestral Land. With our strength alone, I’m afraid our chances are slim.”


From what he can hear, he was unable to determine whether the Giant Spiritual God was alive or dead, even though he was quite certain it was still alive.


Turning to look at Yang Kai, he said, “I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble Martial Nephew for this matter. After all, this is the Holy Spirit Ancestral Land, only you can freely enter and exit it.”


Yang Kai cupped his fists, “I will do anything for you!”


Yuan Du nodded in satisfaction, “But before that, I must ask High God’s opinion. Follow me.”


Saying so, he waved his hand and led everyone in a certain direction.


Zong Yuquan and the others immediately followed up excitedly, as if something good was about to happen.


Yang Kai, on the other hand, couldn’t help thinking about the Black Ink Clan when Yuan Du mentioned the High God!


Without a doubt, the High God he was referring to should be the hidden Black Ink Clan!


Was he really going to face the biggest test so soon? Although Yang Kai’s goal was this and he had been working hard in this direction, suddenly being so close to his goal had left him completely unprepared.


In front of Yuan Du and the others, he could also use the Ink Force sealed in his Small Unviverse to conceal himself.


If he were to face a true Black Ink Clan, could he continue to conceal his identity? Would the Black Ink Clan have some kind of special ability to distinguish between friend and foe? Yang Kai didn’t know, but now that the arrow was nocked, he had no choice but to take things one step at a time.


At most, he would transform into a Big Dragon and fight to the death.


What confused Yang Kai even more was that the Black Ink Clan was hiding in Yuan Du’s Small Universe World? Otherwise, there was no way to explain his current actions.


A short while later, the group arrived at an open space. In front of them, an altar stood tall on the ground. This altar was shaped like a nine-story pagoda and was more than a hundred meters tall. It was unknown what material it was made of, but it gave off a gloomy aura.


Yang Kai had always been on guard against the Black Ink Clan and had been thinking about how he should deal with the real Black Ink Clan when he suddenly saw this altar.


What does this thing do!?


As for the Black Ink Clan he had always been on guard against, they were nowhere to be seen.


Zong Yuquan, Gu Ling’er, and the others obviously knew about this place and had even come here more than once, so all of them wore indifferent expressions, but when they looked at the altar, their expressions were extremely fanatical, as if they were worshipping it.


Yuan Du walked forward with a solemn expression and arrived at the bottom of the altar. Reaching out his hand, he grabbed a short sword in his hand and slashed it towards his wrist. The short sword was extremely sharp and Yuan Du had lost his ability to resist, causing his flesh to tumble and blood to spurt out.


He raised his hand and poured his blood onto the altar, muttering something under his breath, but as he did so, the entirety of the Small Universe began to tremble and the thick ink-like energy seemed to come to life.


Zong Yuquan and the others watched with fervent expressions.


Yang Kai tilted his head and whispered into Gu Ling’er’s ear, “Senior Sister Gu, what is Senior Yuan Du doing?”


Gu Ling’er blushed slightly, but she still patiently explained, “Master is trying to communicate with the High God.”


Communication…


Yang Kai suddenly realized that the Black Ink Clan was not in this small universe world, otherwise why would they need to go through so much trouble? Although he didn’t know where the Black Ink Clan was hiding, could Yuan Du really communicate with them?


Yang Kai expressed his doubts!


After waiting for a long time, there was no reaction from the altar. On the other hand, because Yuan Du had lost too much blood, his face was slightly pale.


Although he was a Seventh Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator, the blood on his wrist was flowing like a fountain, spurting out like a fountain. After a long time, he would not be able to bear it.


Yang Kai leaned over and whispered, “Senior Sister, there’s no reaction!”


Gu Ling’er’s face was still red as she said, “Sometimes it’s like this, not every communication is successful!”


“Why?” Yang Kai was puzzled. Logically speaking, to these Black Ink Disciples, the Black Ink Clan shouldn’t be able to fulfill all of their requests, but from what Gu Ling’er said, this method of communication was sometimes effective but sometimes not.


However, although Yang Kai didn’t know why all of this was happening, he still made a mental note to report it to Li Yuan Wang and the others.


These higher-ups from the Cave Heaven Paradise might know something.


“I don’t know either,” Gu Ling’er slowly shook her head.


After more than an hour, Yuan Du’s face was as pale as paper and his body was on the verge of collapse, but the altar suddenly shook.


In the next moment, Yang Kai’s expression changed slightly, because he suddenly felt a massive will descend from the sky.


Under this will, everything in this world seemed like ants.


This Black Ink Clan was so strong? Yang Kai’s heart pounded.


As this will descended, Yuan Du’s pale face also showed a look of excitement and his voice became louder.


Yang Kai couldn’t understand what he was saying at all, vaguely guessing that this was a spell to summon the will of the Black Ink Clan.


Inside the pagoda-like altar, a jet-black ink-like power suddenly began to flow out like black water.


Zong Yuquan and the others fell to their knees, their hands stretched out, their bodies lowered as they bowed towards the altar.


While Yang Kai was still in a daze, Gu Ling’er grabbed a corner of his clothes.


After hesitating for a moment, Yang Kai followed their example and fell to the ground.


The Ink Force that flowed out from the altar like black water slowly invaded everyone’s bodies before being absorbed by Zong Yuquan and the others.


With the nourishment of this Ink Force, everyone’s expressions became even more excited. Even Yuan Du, who had lost too much blood, seemed to have become a dragon and tiger at this moment.


In this situation, Yang Kai didn’t dare to do anything special, allowing the Ink Force to flow into his Small Universe and then using his strength to seal it.


He had always been on tenterhooks about the sudden appearance of this will, afraid that his identity would be exposed.


However, he soon discovered that this massive will wasn’t paying attention to him at all, and even this will itself was somewhat strange, sometimes strong and sometimes weak, constantly changing.


Yang Kai boldly felt it for a moment and vaguely discovered that this will seemed to be just a pure will, without any subjective motivation.


In other words, this will gave off a feeling of being thoughtless.


If one didn’t have a mind of their own, how could they communicate? How could they respond to Yuan Du’s summons and descend?


Everything here was strange!


This ceremony didn’t last long, only about half an hour from beginning to end.


Half an hour later, the descending will slowly disappeared, and Yuan Du, who was kneeling in front of the altar, stood up with a frown.


The others also stood up, their faces all glowing red as if they had received a great deal of nourishment.


When Yang Kai saw this, he knew that this wouldn’t do, and he couldn’t be an exception. Pushing his strength slightly, he forced his face to become as red as fire, and in an instant, his complexion became red!
