However, after transforming into a giant Dragon this time, not only had he killed many Black Ink Clans, but he had also destroyed Black Abyss’ Territory Lord-level Black Ink Nest and looted a large number of cultivation resources, so paying such a price was acceptable.
When Yang Kai was disguised as Black Ink Disciple, he had discovered that the city where Black Abyss' Black Ink Nest was located is extremely prosperous and had all kinds of cultivation resources of various grades. These resources had no direct use to the Black Ink Clan and were basically used to provide the Black Ink Nest with the Ink Force, but to the Human Race, they were all precious cultivation resources.
Since he had already taken action, Yang Kai naturally wanted to seize these resources.
What’s more, Yang Kai had another harvest.
He discovered that his Dragon form had grown significantly.
Back in the Shattered Heaven’s Holy Spirit Ancestral Land, Yang Kai had used the Dragon Palace and Ancestral Qi to transform into a Big Dragon with a thousand zhang long body.
With the help of Big Brother Huang and Big Sister Lan in the Chaotic Dead Territory, his Dragon Vein had greatly improved, reaching a height of two thousand zhang.
At that time, Big Brother Huang and Big Sister Lan had each left a mysterious power in his body, stimulating his Dragon Vein. When Yang Kai had achieved his two thousand zhang Dragon Body, he had felt that this mysterious power had not been completely consumed, but instead remained dormant in his body.
It wasn’t until the last battle with Chasing Wind Territory Lord that Yang Kai spat out the Dragon Bead at the last moment to deal a fatal blow to Windchaser, causing the Dragon Bead to be damaged.
After so many years, the damaged Dragon Bead had already recovered under the nourishment of his Dragon Vein. Not only that, but even the Dragon Vein’s strength had become stronger. Previously, when he had transformed into a Big Dragon in the Black Abyss Territory, it had been at least three thousand zhang long!
Obviously, the damage to the Dragon Bead had once again stimulated the mysterious power left behind by Big Brother Huang and Big Sister Lan in his body, allowing him to repair the Dragon Bead and strengthen the Dragon Vein.
This was a pleasant surprise.
The strength of a Big Dragon could be determined by its size.
Generally speaking, only a thousand zhang long Dragon could be called a Big Dragon, comparable to a human race Seventh Order Open Heaven, but now Yang Kai’s three thousand zhang long Dragon body was equivalent to a veteran Seventh Order.
However, there were advantages and disadvantages to fighting in the form of a giant Dragon. With its massive size, the damage it could cause was naturally terrifying, especially when Yang Kai had destroyed the Black Ink Clan’s territory and Black Ink Nest. Transforming into a giant Dragon was undoubtedly more convenient. However, its massive size also meant that it was not flexible and could easily lose out to some special opponents.
Fortunately, there were no masters overseeing the Black Abyss Territory, so even if some of the Feudal Lords tried their best, they wouldn’t be able to do anything to him. At most, they would only be able to injure him.
Inside the black ink cloud, Yang Kai was healing himself, but he also knew that it was impossible for him to heal for too long. According to his previous experience, the omnipresent Black Ink Clan would soon discover his presence and attract more Black Ink Clan pursuers.
Sure enough, after the time it took for an incense stick to burn, a group of Black Ink Clan cultivators who had been searching the surrounding area rushed into the black ink cloud and found traces of him.
Yang Kai didn’t need to spend much effort to kill all of these Black Ink Clans, quickly shifting his position and hiding in another black ink cloud.
By the time the nearby Black Ink Clan received the news and rushed over, Yang Kai had already disappeared.
For the next few days, Yang Kai constantly shifted his position while looking for opportunities to heal.
Soon, he discovered a problem.
The Black Ink Clan’s encirclement didn’t seem to be as swift as before.
Before, no matter where he fled to, as long as his whereabouts were exposed, a large number of Black Ink Clans would quickly rush over from all directions to surround him, but now, the Black Ink Clan’s response seemed to be much slower.
This was also within his expectations.
He had long since understood the mysteries of the Black Ink Nest. With the Black Abyss’ Territory Lord-level Black Ink Nest as the core, all of the Feudal Lord-level Black Ink Nest’s branches interweaved into a giant intelligence network that could quickly transmit information to all sides.
Now that he had destroyed Black Abyss’ Black Ink Nest, this central control no longer existed, so the Black Ink Clan’s intelligence network was naturally paralyzed.
This was also one of the reasons why he had decided to directly attack the Black Ink Nest. By paralyzing the Black Ink Clan’s intelligence network, it would be easier for him to continue his actions here. Now, it seemed that this decision was extremely wise.
Although he was still alone, his situation was much better than before.
On the other hand, destroying Black Abyss’ Black Ink Nest was only the beginning. Since the Black Ink Nest was the foundation of the Black Ink Clan, now that he had a rare opportunity, he naturally wouldn’t leave so easily. Although the Territory Lord Grade Black Ink Nest was gone, there were still many Feudal Lord Grade Black Ink Nests, and each one destroyed was a great loss to the Black Ink Clan.
After a few days, Yang Kai had fully recovered. Taking out the Universe Chart, he searched for the nearest feudal lord’s fief.
Soon, Yang Kai locked onto his target.
However, this goal surprised him slightly. He hadn’t expected that he would be able to kill his way here.
Along the way, Yang Kai killed a few Black Ink Clan members who were searching for him and soon arrived at his destination.
The massive and majestic Black Ink Nest exuded a withered and destructive aura as it collapsed to the ground, as if it would soon die. Around the Black Ink Nest, countless Black Ink Nest knelt on the ground, each of them wearing a solemn and reverent expression as if they were holding some kind of sacred ceremony.
The leader of this group was a Black Ink Clan Feudal Lord, his hands crossed in front of his chest as he muttered to himself.
However, no matter how hard these Black Ink Clans tried, they were unable to save the withered Black Ink Nest. Thick Ink Force flowed out from the Black Ink Nest like blood, and with every drop of Ink Force that flowed out, the aura of the Black Ink Nest would weaken slightly. It was likely that in less than half a day, this Black Ink Nest would completely wither and die.
Yang Kai walked forward step by step, as if he had entered an uninhabited place. The Black Ink Clan who were focused on the ceremony did not notice him.
Standing below the Black Ink Nest, Yang Kai looked up and frowned, a puzzled look appearing on his face.
The leading Black Ink Clan Feudal Lord finally noticed Yang Kai’s aura and looked up. When he saw Yang Kai’s face, he immediately shouted, “It’s you!”
With this shout, many of the Black Ink Clans awoke from their stupor and stood up. In the blink of an eye, Yang Kai was surrounded by many of them.
Yang Kai turned his head to look at the Feudal Lord and nodded slightly, “Brother Zha Gu!”
The Feudal Lord was Zha Gu, and this place was Zha Gu’s fief. When Zha Gu had planted the Black Ink Nest and hatched it, he had witnessed everything with his own eyes. It was from Zha Gu that Yang Kai had learned many secrets about the Black Ink Nest that the Human Race had never known.
The long-lost greeting caused Zha Gu to stare at Yang Kai hesitantly, “You… are the rumors true? Did you betray the Territory Lord?”
Yang Kai said lightly, “I am a human race and have never pledged allegiance to anyone, so how can you talk about betrayal? As for the rumors outside… I don’t know what you heard, but they are probably true.”
Zha Gu shouted angrily, “You destroyed the Territory Lord’s Black Ink Nest?”
Yang Kai nodded, “Yes!” But soon after, he turned around and asked curiously, “What happened to your Black Ink Nest?”
He had come here to destroy this Black Ink Nest. Not only this Black Ink Nest, but all of the Feudal Lord Black Ink Nest under Black Abyss, he will destroy them one by one.
This was the only way to deal Black Abyss the most profound blow. Losing so many Black Ink Nests meant that Black Abyss’ lineage would lose all of its foundation, which was more important than killing tens of thousands of Black Ink Clan on the battlefield.
“My Black Ink Nest…” Zha Gu’s face was filled with anger, “My Black Ink Nest is the Child Nest of the Territory Lord’s Black Ink Nest. You destroyed the Territory Lord’s Black Ink Nest, so how could it not be affected?”
Although Yang Kai had a vague guess when he first saw the situation of the Black Ink Nest, when this guess was confirmed by Zha Gu, Yang Kai was still somewhat surprised.
The destruction of a Territory Lord Grade Black Ink Nest was actually affecting a Feudal Lord Grade Black Ink Nest? This was something he had never known.
However, on second thought, Zha Gu’s Black Ink Nest was the Child Nest of Black Abyss' Black Ink Nest, so there was a strange connection between them. With Black Abyss' Black Ink Nest destroyed, Zha Gu’s Black Ink Nest being implicated was only natural.
Pondering for a moment, Yang Kai asked, “Is your Black Ink Nest the only one affected, or are all the Feudal Lords' Black Ink Nest affected?”
Zha Gu grit his teeth, “You think I’ll tell you?”
Yang Kai nodded, “I understand.”
Looking at the situation on Zha Gu’s side, it wasn’t difficult to guess that the other Feudal Lords's Black Ink Nest were all affected and were about to wither.
Originally, he had planned to destroy all of the Black Ink Nest in Black Abyss’ territory, but now it seemed he had saved himself some trouble.
With a thought, Yang Kai asked again, “Brother Zha Gu, if the Royal Lord Black Ink Nest is destroyed…”
“You can forget about destroying any Black Ink Nest!” Zha Gu shouted, obviously not intending to waste any more time talking nonsense with Yang Kai. Reaching out his hand, Zha Gu grasped a large halberd in his palm, and at the same time, the black mist around his body began to roil as he put on a half body armor.
This halberd and armor were the two artifacts Yang Kai had refined for him.
Wielding his halberd and treasure armor, Zha Gu’s aura soared as he fiercely thrust his halberd towards Yang Kai.
Yang Kai had unknowingly summoned his Azure Dragon Spear, but facing this halberd, he didn’t have any intention of dodging. His spear shot out like a Dragon, dodging the halberd’s attack and piercing towards Zha Gu’s chest.
A fierce light flashed across Zha Gu’s eyes, but he also didn’t try to dodge. The halberd’s attacks became fiercer, as if it was a battle of attrition.
He knew that Yang Kai’s strength was outstanding. After all, he had personally witnessed Yang Kai slaughtering his enemies in the past, and all of the Feudal Lords were easily defeated by him. He didn’t think he was much stronger than the other Feudal Lords, even if he had two artifacts in his possession, he probably wouldn’t be able to defeat him alone.
If he wanted to survive under Yang Kai’s hands, he could only fight to the death.
Although his idea was correct, when the Azure Dragon Spear easily stabbed into his chest and smashed his body, Zha Gu still wore a blank expression.
Yang Kai looked at him indifferently, “Your Treasure Armour was refined by me, using it to deal with me is simply absurd!”
Zha Gu suddenly understood, “The things you refined all have flaws?”
Yang Kai said, “The things I refine will never be stained with the blood of my clansmen, not even the slightest bit!”
