According to his calculations, although the Black Ink Clan inside the Heavenly Beginning Great Restriction had the ability to conceal themselves, it was not without cost if the Innate Territory Lords wanted to escape.
Every Territory Lord had suffered some injuries when they escaped from the Great Restriction, so the No-Return Pass would deliberately deliver supplies to them so that they could rest and recuperate in preparation for the future!
If this matter hadn’t been discovered by Ouyang Lie, then after hundreds or thousands of years, the Black Ink Clan would have had a large number of powerful Innate Territory Lords. This was enough to change the situation on the battlefield between the two races, and it was even more likely to become a force that would crush the Human Race.
“Senior Brother Ouyang, I need you to return to the Head Office Division to find Senior Brother Mi and inform him of the situation here so that my Human Race can respond sooner.”
“Good,” Ouyang Lie nodded solemnly. He also knew that this matter was of great importance. If the Black Ink Clan were to use such underhanded methods in secret, if the Human Race didn’t take precautions, it was highly likely that they would incur extremely severe consequences.
“In addition…” Yang Kai’s mind raced as he added, “In the near future, the Black Ink Clan will likely have a large number of Pseudo-Royal Lords, so Senior Brother Mi must take extra precautions!”
Ouyang Lie couldn’t help shuddering. He was naturally aware of the existence of a Pseudo-Royal Lord. In terms of pure strength and realm, there wasn’t much difference between a Pseudo-Royal Lord and a true Royal Lord. The difference between the two was in the control of one’s own strength. After all, a Pseudo-Royal Lord’s strength wasn’t something one cultivated on their own, so even if their strength was similar to a Royal Lord’s, it was difficult to display their full strength.
Even so, a Pseudo Royal Lord was not someone an Eighth Order Human Race master could contend with. If it was really as Yang Kai said, and the Black Ink Clan had a large number of Pseudo-Royal Lords… what would the Human Race do?
The reason for this warning was not because Yang Kai was trying to scare him, but because he had some insight into Mo Na Ye’s intentions.
It had to be said that Mo Na Ye was indeed a ruthless character. He had placed these Innate Territory Lords in the depths of the Ink Battlefield, and although he had provided them with resources to help them heal their injuries, he would also sacrifice them at the critical moment in order to allow them to join forces to forge a Pseudo-Royal Lord.
Yang Kai had attacked two Royal Lord-level Ink Nests, each of which had more than a dozen Innate Territory Lords healing their injuries.
This was not a coincidence, but a deliberate arrangement by the Black Ink Clan.
Up until now, Yang Kai had yet to figure out how the Black Ink Clan had managed to create a Pseudo-Royal Lord. According to the limited information he had gathered, forging a Pseudo-Royal Lord required the Black Ink Clan to sacrifice more than ten Innate Territory Lords and even a Royal Lord-level Ink Nest.
The two locations he had attacked had already met these conditions, so the Black Ink Clan could implement a plan to create a Pseudo-Royal Lord at any time.
A dozen or so Innate Territory Lords with injuries on their bodies could be easily killed by Yang Kai’s sneak attack, but if he were to face a Pseudo-Royal Lord, it would be impossible.
This was the difference between quantity and quality.
If he wanted the Human Race to respond quickly, it was best to prepare for the worst!
After sending off Ouyang Lie, Yang Kai didn’t stop and instead threw himself into the Universe World Fruit, which he had deliberately left outside the Heavenly Beginning Great Restriction. Borrowing the power of the World Tree, a Universe World's aura rushed towards him.
In the blink of an eye, he had arrived outside the Heavenly Beginning Great Restriction.
When he appeared, a powerful Divine Sense immediately swept over from afar. It was Fu Guang, who was guarding the Withdrawing Black Ink Pavilion. After confirming his identity, Fu Guang didn’t pay any more attention to him and instead focused on the movements of the Great Restriction.
Yang Kai nodded in greeting before quickly withdrawing his aura and staring at the Heavenly Beginning Great Restriction.
The situation here wasn’t much different from the last time he had come here. At the gap Wu Kuang had taken the initiative to open, the Black Ink Clan army was constantly rushing out, while the Withdrawing Black Ink Pavilion was constantly busy. Occasionally, a number of Black Ink Clan masters would rush out, while the Withdrawing Black Ink Army's Eighth Order Open Heaven would meet the enemy.
Overall, although the battle over there was quite intense, the Withdrawing Black Ink Army was still able to handle it. In the past thousand years, there hadn’t been many casualties, but the consumption of resources was quite high.
Yang Kai somewhat understood.
Previously, he had been somewhat puzzled as to why the Black Ink Clan, knowing that breaking out of the Heavenly Beginning Great Restriction was tantamount to suicide, would continue to attack. In the first few years, the Black Ink Clan had fantasized about breaking out of the Heavenly Beginning Great Restriction, but now, a thousand years had passed.
After not succeeding for so many years, how could the Black Ink Clan not understand the situation?
No matter how stupid the Black Ink Clan was, they should have been able to see through the Human Race’s method of reducing their strength, but the Black Ink Clan just had to be so stubborn and keep attacking the Withdrawing Black Ink Army…
It wasn’t that they were stupid, but that they had other plans!
The battle at the gap was just an open road! With the help of this fierce battle, they were able to divert the attention of the Withdrawing Black Ink Army, restricting the attention of the Divine Dragon Fu Guang and even Wu Kuang, who was guarding the Heavenly Beginning Great Restriction.
The last time Yang Kai had come here, he had discovered that Wu Kuang was completely focused on maintaining this gap, not even in the mood to communicate with him.
This way, if Fu Guang and Wu Kuang didn’t notice, the Black Ink Clan could secretly open up a channel for the Innate Territory Lords to escape. They didn’t dare to go too far, so even if that channel existed, the Territory Lords would have to pay a huge price to escape!
Where is it? Yang Kai’s eyes swept around as his mind raced…
The one the Black Ink Clan feared the most was Wu Kuang, who was in control of the Heavenly Beginning Great Restriction. If he noticed anything unusual, all their efforts over the years would have been in vain.
As such, that position was definitely not something Wu Kuang would easily investigate.
Yang Kai immediately turned his head and looked towards the opposite direction of the gap. Activating his Space Principle, his figure seemed to completely blend into the void.
Back on the Withdrawing Black Ink Pavilion, Fu Guang frowned slightly. This time, Yang Kai had come quietly and deliberately concealed his aura, it was obviously somewhat abnormal.
Although he didn’t know what Yang Kai was doing, he instinctively felt that something big had happened.
The scope of the Heavenly Beginning Great Restriction was quite large. This was a great restriction jointly created by the ten Martial Ancestors, sealing Black Ink's true body in its birthplace.
And in the Great Restriction, Black Ink had given birth to countless Black Ink Clan, so one could only imagine how vast this place was.
With such a large area, Wu Kuang’s mind was greatly restricted, so it was indeed difficult for him to fully monitor the situation. Moreover, Wu Kuang had said a thousand years ago that this Great Restriction was too ancient, meaning that it had been left in disrepair for many years, so there were always some hidden dangers. A thousand years ago, he had taken the initiative to open a gap, so to the Heavenly Beginning Great Restriction, it might not have been a complete upheaval. Perhaps this was how the Black Ink Clan found an opportunity.
Half a month later, Yang Kai had already hidden himself on the other side of the Great Restriction, but he didn’t find anything wrong.
He didn’t lower his guard. If it had been so easily discovered, Wu Kuang wouldn’t have been kept in the dark.
Staying patient, Yang Kai wandered back and forth for a few days before a strange energy fluctuation suddenly came from somewhere in the void. Yang Kai, who was nearby, immediately rushed over to investigate.
From what he could see, in the endless darkness, there was a mass of Ink Force that seemed to be a living creature rapidly squirming out of the great restriction. It didn’t take long for the ink force to rush out of the restriction, and when it dissipated, a figure appeared.
Shockingly, it was an Innate Territory Lord. This Innate Territory Lord was trying his best to conceal his aura, but because he had just emerged from the Great Restriction, his injuries seemed quite serious.
He didn’t dare to stay any longer and quickly fled. Yang Kai suppressed the killing intent in his heart. After the Territory Lord had fled far away, Yang Kai sent a voice transmission to Wu Kuang and quietly followed.
Half a day later, somewhere in the void, the Territory Lord stopped and his Divine Sense surged, seemingly communicating with someone as he rushed towards a certain direction.
A moment later, he arrived at a floating continent fragment, where six Territory Lords were gathered, all of them in low spirits.
After this Territory Lord arrived here, he couldn’t help laughing loudly, “Finally out!”
After being trapped in the Great Restriction for countless years, anyone who managed to escape from it would be overjoyed.
The other Territory Lords also couldn’t conceal their joy and laughed.
Soon, they began to talk about serious matters. One of the Territory Lords said, “We’ll have to wait for a few more Territory Lords to gather, we need fifteen people before we set out.”
The Territory Lord who had arrived at this place last was somewhat impatient, “Why do we have to wait fifteen people, isn't it too long?”
The Territory Lord who had just spoken said, “This matter was arranged by the No-Return Pass, we just need to obey.”
Although the Territory Lord who came last was somewhat dissatisfied, he couldn’t do anything about it and complained, “This place doesn’t have Ink Nest, nor does it have any Ink Force, so even if we want to heal our injuries, we won’t be able to. It’s so boring to wait here.”
“The arrangements have been made on the No-Return Pass. As long as we arrive at the designated location, we’ll have everything.”
“We can only do so!” The Territory Lord sighed heavily.
“You won’t have anything left!” A deep voice suddenly rang out, causing the several Territory Lords gathered here to be stunned for a moment before their expressions changed drastically. They all stood up and looked towards the source of the voice, only to see a storm of spear lights.
If it was said that Yang Kai had taken some effort to kill the two Royal Lord-level Ink Nest’s Innate Territory Lords, then killing the gathered Territory Lords here was simply too easy.
The Innate Territory Lords in the Ink Nest had at least recovered some of their strength after recuperating for some time.
These people had escaped from the Heavenly Beginning Great Restriction and all of them had suffered great losses, so the strength they could display was probably less than twenty to thirty percent of their full strength…
Moreover, they only had seven Territory Lords.
With a wave of spear light, four of the seven Territory Lords were killed on the spot, while the remaining three fought back angrily, some immediately fleeing…
However, it was to no avail. In just a moment, the auras of the seven Territory Lords were completely extinguished.
Yang Kai frowned as he picked up an object from the corpse of a dead Territory Lord. It was a palm-sized ink nest, and it seemed to have just been hatched.
If he wasn’t mistaken, this should be a Royal Lord-level Ink Nest.
If everything went smoothly, these Territory Lords would take this Royal Lord-level Ink Nest to a place where they would receive a batch of materials from the No-Return Pass, hatch this Ink Nest, and then enter it to recuperate.
