Chapter 3674: Star Field as the Board and Stars as the Stones
What am I doing here!? An enraged Yang Kai stepped into the gazebo and looked down at the old man with a hostile gaze, Wu Kuang, I should be the one asking! What are you trying to do?
When the Embodiment told him that he detected the Heaven Devouring Battle Laws aura, Yang Kai immediately realised that something serious was going on. After he came to this place and saw that it was truly Wu Kuangs doing, he became infuriated. The last time they met, they were still in the Ancestral Domain; however, he hadnt expected that Wu Kuang would come over and devour his Star Field one day. If it werent because Duan Hong Chen and Wu Kuang shared the same body, Yang Kai wouldve beaten him up instead of talking so much to him. Although Wu Kuang was a Great Emperor, he hadnt managed to restore all his power so fighting was still an option.
On the other hand, Yang Kai was already much stronger than when he was still on Dragon Island in the past. Furthermore, he had four Half-Saints to a.s.sist him now. That was the reason he wasnt afraid of Wu Kuang even if they got into a scuffle.
Mei Jiuer followed Yang Kai into the gazebo and stood behind him. She remained vigilant and gripped the stone in her hand harder. It was apparent that Yang Kai and this old man knew each other, but they were on bad terms. Since Yang Kai was resentful of the old man, she had to put on a grim expression as well.
Wu Kuang batted his eyes and smiled, Thats your Star Field? He was an intelligent person as well. Even though he was shocked upon seeing Yang Kai, he quickly realised the reason behind it.
What do you think? Yang Kai bent over and landed a slap on the board, which caused the black and white stones to be messed up.
Wu Kuang gazed at the board with a frown and sighed, I was about to win. Why couldnt you just talk it out with me instead of messing up my stones? He sighed.
Before he could speak further, Yang Kai directly turned the board over. At that instant, all the stones were hoisted into the air upon impact.
Wu Kuang said with a smile, Did you know how many people youre about to kill by doing that?
In fact, Yang Kai didnt need him to say something so obvious as he immediately realised that something was off after he flipped the board over. With his expression changed drastically, he pushed his Demon Qi hard and extended both hands, after which an innumerable number of phantom hands appeared in the gazebo. After all the phantom hands returned to Yang Kai, he could be seen carrying a large number of stones in his arms, and it appeared that he was still reeling from the shock.
Wu Kuang narrowed his eyes and stared at Yang Kai, Demon Qi? Youve gone through demonification? He didnt notice it before Yang Kai made a move. When Yang Kais Demon Qi undulated, he appeared truly imposing though, so anyone who wasnt blind would be able to tell that his aura was a little different from before.
Presently, Yang Kais face was as pale as a white sheet. As he looked down at the stones in his hands, his eyelids kept twitching, What in the world are you doing?
Instead of answering his question, Wu Kuang said, Its interesting that youve gone through demonification. Why havent you lost your mind? If its alright with you, can you let this Old Master inspect you?
Yang Kai replied coldly, Sure, but theres a price to pay.
Wu Kuang smiled and nodded, Just ask me any questions you want.
It was then Yang Kai snorted and took a seat across from Wu Kuang before he carefully put the stones back on the board. He didnt intend to put them back in their original spots. Thus, he just arranged them properly.
Then, he checked on those stones, and upon making sure that they were fine, he let out a long sigh.
Mei Jiuer didnt understand why Yang Kai cared so much about these stones, so out of curiosity, she sent her Divine Sense towards the board and instantly fell into a dazed state as she was rooted to the spot. It was as though her Soul had been sucked out of her, and she had become a living corpse.
All of a sudden, a gentle force engulfed her, which caused her to come to her senses. Her pretty face had turned pale as she said in shock, Senior, the board and the stones
I know, Yang Kai nodded.
Mei Jiuers face turned a shade paler when she heard this. She still doubted that she might have seen it wrong; however, upon hearing Yang Kais confirmation, she knew that what she had seen was real.
Rather than a board, what was before her was an entire Star Field, and the stones were also not what they seemed to be as they were clearly whole Stars.
This amiable-looking old man with the demeanour of an immortal was battling against himself using the Star Field as a board and the Stars as pieces. Given the fact that Mei Jiuer was just an Origin King, it was no wonder that her Soul was overwhelmed as soon as she took a look at the board. If Yang Kai hadnt saved her in time, she really would have died.
It was then she understood what the old man actually meant. All the stones were real Stars, and trillions of people lived on these Stars. By flipping the board over, Yang Kai had practically turned this Star Field upside down. If the stones really fell to the ground, countless lives would have been lost.
Fortunately, Yang Kai reacted quickly and caught all the stones; otherwise, he wouldve become an unforgivable murderer.
Mei Jiuer was stunned as she wasnt sure if it was reality or an illusion. If it was an illusion, it was too lifelike, but if it was real, could anyone really do such a thing?
While her emotions were fluctuating wildly, Yang Kai extended one hand. Without being overly polite, Wu Kuang placed two fingers on Yang Kais wrist and infused a piece of Divine Sense into his body. At the same time, he asked with a smile, Arent you worried that Ill kill you?
Yang Kai snorted, Senior Hong Chen is around. If youre able to kill me, go right ahead!
Mei Jiuer thought that Wu Kuang was playing the board game on his own, but Yang Kai knew that he was actually having a compet.i.tion with Duan Hong Chen. Since Bustling World Great Emperor was able to battle against Wu Kuang, he definitely could stop him from making a move, which was why Yang Kai wasnt worried that Wu Kuang would harm him.
Wu Kuang put on a smile and scoffed, Ive already refined that old fart. Duan Hong Chen no longer exists in this world!
Then, he suddenly said, Hes just talking nonsense. Im still alive and kicking.
Yang Kai grinned, Greetings, Senior. Junior is glad to know that youre still healthy.
Wu Kuang nodded and took a look at the woman behind Yang Kai, Shes quite pretty. Is she your new woman?
An embarra.s.sed Yang Kai replied, Shes just someone from my Star Field. I happened to come across her, which was why I brought her with me as well.
Wu Kuangs gaze brightened when he heard that, then he said to Mei Jiuer, Little girl, since youre here, why dont you stay here to serve me? I can teach you about the supreme Grand Dao.
Bustling World Great Emperor was a carefree man who enjoyed life to the fullest. Since the incident in the Shattered Star Sea, he had been intertwined with Wu Kuang; hence, he was unable to drink wine and feast, nor was he able to surround himself with beautiful ladies anymore. That was why he was extremely bored. Since someone had finally come to this place, he naturally wanted to make her stay. It wasnt that he wanted to do anything to her, but it was better to face a beautiful woman than be alone Wu Kuang all year round.
A rare and precious opportunity was right before Mei Jiuers eyes, but her face had turned pale and she shook her head repeatedly. She didnt know what was going on as she just thought that the old man didnt look like a good person, and that he seemed a little crazy, which was why she wouldnt dare to remain. As for the supreme Grand Dao, she wouldnt know if he was telling the truth, so she decided that she didnt want it.
Seeing that, Wu Kuang didnt want to force her as he heaved a sigh, Thats such a shame. Then, he nodded at Yang Kai, You can talk with him.
Yang Kai bowed his head and pointed at the board, What is this?
Wu Kuang looked away as he was meticulously probing Yang Kais body. Without even thinking, he replied, Blood Sun Star Field.
Even though Yang Kai already had a speculation, he still gasped when Wu Kuang admitted it, Youve refined a Star Field into such a thing?
He didnt know where Blood Sun Star Field was, nor had he heard of it before, but apparently, just like Heng Luo Star Field, it was also a Lower Star Field; however, it had become a board game that was right in front of him now.
Wu Kuang replied with a grin, Whats so strange about it? There are many more in the sky.
Yang Kai looked up as his pupils contracted because nebulas of different sizes were hovering in the sky above him. Some of them were as small as a dustpan while the bigger ones were the size of a basin. There was some distance between them as they were not compatible. If Wu Kuang hadnt pointed it out, Yang Kai wouldve just thought that these nebulas looked a little odd even if he happened to see them. Upon closer look now though, he realised that every nebula was a separate Star Field.
Staring fixedly at them, Yang Kai could see that the Cultivation Stars were as small as dust, on which billions of people lived.
However, just like the stones on the board, these people were not aware of the situation they were in as they went about their daily lives.
Your condition is odd. Its apparent that your body is full of Demon Essence, but you dont seem affected at all. How do you keep yourself clear-headed? Wu Kuang asked.
You know about Demon Qi? Yang Kai questioned.
Wu Kuang put on an inscrutable smile, I know a lot more about it than you do.
Arent you supposed to be in the Ancestral Domain? Why are you here? Wheres this place? Yang Kai wasnt willing to dwell on the topic of Demon Qi, he just wanted to find out what Wu Kuang was doing.
We are in the Ancestral Domain, Wu Kuang replied.
Nonsense! Yang Kai rebuked. It wasnt like he hadnt been to the Ancestral Domain, so he knew what the place looked like; however, after giving it a thought, he realised that, since this old fart was able to refine Star Fields into boards and nebulas, it wasnt so unthinkable that he could turn the Ancestral Domain into a garden.
After a moment of silence, Yang Kai asked with a frown, Is this a Sealed World?
Wu Kuang shook his head with a smile, Its a Great World.
In an instant, Yang Kai turned pale and stared at him in shock, but he knew that Wu Kuang wasnt lying. Mei Jiuer just thought that the World Energy in this place was ample, but she hadnt realised that the World Principles in this place were also incredibly strong.
Just like the Star Boundary and the Demon Realm, it was also a Great World. Even though this place was no match for the former, it wasnt too far off.
Wu Kuang didnt seem to have noticed Yang Kais expression as he went on to explain, There must be something in your Knowledge Sea that can keep you clear-headed. I want to see it. Open up your Knowledge Sea for me.
In your dreams! Yang Kai directly rejected him. Then, he furrowed his brow and looked around, Did you sneak into the Ancestral Domain from the Dragon Temple in the past just to refine this place?
Thats right. The Ancestral Domain is the origin of all Lower Star Fields. By refining the Ancestral Domain, it significantly reduced the effort this King needed to exert in order to achieve my goal.
Just what in the world are you trying to do? Yang Kai looked puzzledly at him.
Wu Kuang shook his head with a smile, I cant tell you.
He paused for a moment, Since youre here, I need you to help me out with something.
Do you think Ill help you? Yang Kai sneered.
Ignoring him, Wu Kuang went on to say, I want your Star Field. I didnt know you were the Master of that Star Field I happened to be devouring; however, it doesnt matter. Whether the Star Field has a Master or who the Master is, this King will still devour it. Apart from your Star Field, I also want all the Lower Star Fields.
Yang Kai said impa.s.sively, If youre so eager to die, I can grant your wish.
Silavin: Once again, flying off this week so Im scheduling beforehand
