This was also something he had been worried about.
When the Void Corridor’s entrance was revealed, there would definitely be some kind of disturbance. Originally, the biggest worry was that the Ink Clan would notice it, and then they would be able to enter the Void Corridor and attack the Black Territory.
If that was the case, then the existence of the No-Return Pass would be meaningless, and the countless years of sacrifices the Cave Heaven Paradise had made would all be for naught.
It was because he was worried about this issue that Yang Kai decided to take the risk and seal his way here, even cutting off his escape route.
From the looks of it, it was fortunate that he had done so. Otherwise, once the Void Corridor’s entrance appeared, it would definitely be discovered.
What he didn’t understand now was where this Seventh Order Open Heaven Stage master came from and what kind of place this was.
After pondering for a moment, Yang Kai cupped his hands and said, “Yang Kai greets Senior!”
The Seventh Order Old Man raised his eyes to look at him, his expression as calm as an ancient well. He seemed to have a taciturn personality, or perhaps it was because he felt it was beneath him to speak to a Sixth Order.
This caused Yang Kai’s heart to skip a beat as he realized something was wrong.
He had deliberately mentioned his name to verify some things.
In all of the 3000 Worlds, he was no longer an unknown person. Whether it was the Master of the Star Boundary or his previous achievements in the Black Prison, both of these were enough to allow his name to spread throughout the Cave Heaven Paradise. If the other party was really an expert from one of the Cave Heaven Paradise, there was no reason they had not heard of him.
However, from the reaction of this Seventh Order old man, it was obvious that he had never heard of his name.
The old man’s eyes turned towards the few fruits on the spirit plant and said lightly, “These Profound Valley Spirit Fruits are mine, do you have any objections?”
Yang Kai didn’t even know what kind of Spirit Fruit it was, so how could he have any objections? However, judging from the other party’s attitude, Yang Kai guessed that this Profound Spirit Fruit was indeed useful to Open Heaven Stage cultivators.
Immediately, he cupped his fists and said, “This is a rare treasure, those who have the ability will take it. Senior can take it.”
The old man nodded slightly and was very satisfied with Yang Kai’s performance. In a flash, he arrived in front of the spirit plant and began to cast a spell to pick up the Profound Spirit Fruit before placing it into the wooden box he had prepared.
Yang Kai clearly noticed the look of joy on his face and was even more certain that this Profound Spirit Fruit was of great value to him.
Just as Yang Kai was about to inquire about some information, something happened.
The Seventh Order Old Man turned around and without moving, suddenly raised his hand and sent a palm strike towards Yang Kai. The World Force in his palm surged violently, filled with murderous intent, as if he wanted to kill Yang Kai.
Yang Kai was shocked. He hadn’t expected that after picking the Spirit Fruit, the other party would try to kill him. Was he afraid he would expose this matter and want to kill him?
Fortunately, although he was surprised, he was not completely defenseless.
After all, Yang Kai had come here alone, so he had never relaxed.
Facing this sudden palm strike, Yang Kai didn’t dare to be careless and quickly circulated his Small Universe’s strength to meet it head-on.
With a loud bang, the World Force collided and Yang Kai’s figure was sent flying while the Seventh Order Old Man swayed slightly.
A cry of surprise came from the old man’s mouth. Although it was only a single palm strike, he had already noticed how extraordinary Yang Kai was. Logically speaking, as a Seventh Order, under this sudden attack, even if a Sixth Order cultivator didn’t die, he would at least be seriously injured. However, this boy in front of him seemed to be completely fine, which was quite unbelievable.
Yang Kai was also surprised.
Although the other party’s strength was stronger than his own, he faintly felt that something was wrong.
There was no time to think, the Seventh Order Old Man had already chased after Yang Kai like a shadow. As he rushed forward, he formed a series of hand seals and shot out a beam of profound light towards Yang Kai. Before the beam of profound light reached him, it transformed into a curtain of light that blocked all of Yang Kai’s escape routes.
Yang Kai shouted angrily as he activated his Small Universe’s power. Lifting his hand, he summoned his Azure Dragon Spear, and under the power of his Great Unrestrained Spear Technique, the spear shot out like a dragon, filling the sky with spear shadows.
The light barrier shattered and Yang Kai’s body shook violently.
The Seventh Order Old Man arrived in front of Yang Kai, the surprise on his face growing as he was shocked by Yang Kai’s display of strength. However, he showed no mercy as he pulled out a long sword from somewhere. The sword light was cold and sharp as it flew towards Yang Kai.
A series of clanging sounds rang out as the World Force collided with each other. The two figures were like two entangled gyroscopes as they collided with the world around them.
After fighting for a while, Yang Kai raised his brow and finally realized what was wrong.
Although this Seventh Order Open Heaven Stage old man in front of him had a Seventh Order cultivation, he was weaker than all the other Seventh Order Open Heaven Stage masters he had encountered! It could be said that Yang Kai had never encountered such a weak Seventh Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator.
Although he was a Seventh Order, and the energy fluctuations emanating from his body were indeed at the Seventh Order, but the strength he could display was only slightly higher than a Sixth Order, far from the average Seventh Order.
This man’s murderous intent towards Yang Kai was very obvious, and a sneak attack without saying anything was the best proof, so Yang Kai didn’t think he was showing any mercy.
In other words, this was his true strength!
Why was this happening? Yang Kai couldn’t understand, vaguely guessing that he was injured and couldn’t display his full strength.
However, he was also secretly glad that this was the case, otherwise it would have been difficult for him to resist.
After all, he was only a Sixth Order Open Heaven. Although he could sweep through Universe and could be considered invincible among Sixth Order Open Heavens, facing a Seventh Order Open Heaven was still somewhat difficult. Only by transforming into a dragon would he be qualified to compete with a Seventh Order Open Heaven.
As the fight continued, the Seventh Order Old Man saw that he was unable to capture Yang Kai, so he couldn’t help feeling a bit anxious. A dark aura slowly spread from his body, and even his pair of eyes gradually became dark.
Yang Kai looked up and when their eyes met, his heart sank.
Ink Disciple!
The black aura and ink colored eyes were the most obvious characteristics of Ink Disciple. He had seen more than one Ink Disciple, so he was naturally familiar with them.
Previously, when he had deliberately announced his name as a test, the other party’s lack of reaction had made Yang Kai feel uneasy.
However, Yang Kai still had some hope that this Seventh Order Old Man wasn’t from some Cave Heaven Paradise, but rather some Second-Class force, similar to Shattered Heaven’s High Rank Open Heaven, so he had never heard of his name.
But now it seemed that this was not the case.
This Seventh Order old man was actually Ink Disciple.
Yang Kai couldn’t help gritting his teeth. Although it was an Ink Disciple, Yang Kai couldn’t see any clues from his appearance. If it weren’t for this fierce battle, he really wouldn’t have been able to determine his identity.
The Ink Force was unable to increase one’s strength in the Open Heaven Stage and could only change one’s temperament. However, the Ink Force was able to break through the shackles of the Open Heaven Stage limit and allow Ink Disciple to advance infinitely.
From what he had seen and heard in the Black Territory, Yang Kai knew that this kind of advancement had its own drawbacks. Not everyone could withstand the pressure of the advancement. In the Black Territory, Ink Disciple’s body would explode when he broke through his shackles, while others would undergo great changes after breaking through, like monsters.
There were no free benefits in this world. If one wanted to obtain benefits, they had to pay a price.
However, the people of this world were ignorant. The Ink Force being able to break through the Open Heaven Stage’s shackles had a great attraction to them, which was why the Cave Heaven Paradise would block news of Ink matters all year round, lest someone couldn’t resist the temptation and take the risk.
Although this Seventh Order old man had revealed his Ink Force in his rage, his strength had not increased at all.
On the other hand, Yang Kai gradually found out about this old man’s strength. If this old man was at his peak, Yang Kai would have needed to transform into a dragon to compete with him, but now, this old man’s strength had obviously been greatly reduced, so there was no need to go through so much trouble.
Another fierce collision occurred, and as both sides retreated, Yang Kai raised his spear in one hand and clenched his fist in the other, slowly pushing forward.
This punch seemed to have no deterrent force, but under this punch, the Seventh Order Old Man’s face changed drastically as his body shook violently and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Beating Ox!
Strictly speaking, Ink Disciple was only a Open Heaven Stage cultivator who had been transformed into ink, so the power he used was also the power of the Small Universe.
After fighting with him for so long, how could Yang Kai not seize this opportunity? Following the source of the other party’s World Force, Yang Kai locked onto his opponent’s Small Universe and used his Secret Technique Beating Ox!
This was a Secret Technique that allowed the weak to defeat the strong. As long as Yang Kai had enough time to prepare, even an Eighth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator would not be able to withstand such a blow.
In an instant, Small Universe’s entire world was thrown into chaos. The World Force was unable to circulate, causing the Seventh Order old man’s vision to blur. At this moment, his heart was filled with shock.
Originally, he had thought that he could easily kill a Sixth Order Open Heaven, but who would have thought that this Sixth Order Open Heaven would display such extraordinary combat strength? Just this alone was enough, but it was unknown what kind of Secret Technique this boy had used to directly bombard his Small Universe.
Such a Secret Technique was unheard of.
Just as the Small Universe’s strength was beginning to falter, Yang Kai suddenly appeared in front of him.
The Seventh Order Old Man sensed that something was wrong and forcefully raised his palm to strike down.
Such a palm naturally couldn’t do anything to Yang Kai, so Yang Kai simply blocked it. In the next moment, his left and right hands lit up with yellow and blue light, and as he pressed his palms together, a pure and flawless purifying light enveloped the Seventh Order old man.
Since he had confirmed the Ink Disciple’s identity, Yang Kai naturally had a way to deal with him.
The old man’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as if he had been struck by lightning, a look of pain filling his face, but as the black aura in his body dissipated, the pain gradually calmed down.
Back in the Black Prison, many of the Seventh Order Open Heaven Stage masters who had fought with the Ink Royal Lord had been turned into ink, and Yang Kai had relied on the Light of Purification to restore them.
He was already familiar with this.
After a while, the old man’s Ink Force dissipated and he slowly opened his eyes, staring at Yang Kai with a look of suspicion and shock.
“Senior…” Yang Kai called out softly.
Only then did the old man snap out of his daze and quickly catch his breath, “Let’s go, we can’t stay here for long!”
The two of them had been fighting for a long time just now, but no one knew if the commotion had spread out or not. If they stayed, it would only attract more people to investigate.
Yang Kai had too many questions in his mind, but now was obviously not the time to ask. Nodding, he quickly followed behind the old man and flew off into the distance.
