That crazy b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Qin Fen growled through clenched teeth.

Another Sixth-Order Open Heaven Realm Master appeared to be heartbroken, Hes basically drying out the lake to catch the fis.h.!.+

Although the Fifth-Order Open Heaven Realm Master didnt say anything, he pressed his lips together with a gloomy expression.

At this point, their companions finally realised that something was off. The woman, who helped Qin Fen up earlier, was standing beside him as she asked gently, Senior Brother Qin, is that person absorbing Spear Dao Essence?

With reddened eyes, Qin Fen nodded.

The woman let out a sigh.

The original owner of this Universe Cave Heaven was a Master of the Spear Dao before his death, which was a well-known fact, so the Spear Dao Essence in this place was quite abundant. Therefore, be it the Open Heaven Realm Masters or the other sentient beings raised in this place, many of them were good at using spears.

Ironically, the current owner of Lin Lang Palace, Xia Lin Lang, knew little about the Spear Dao.

In the past, Qin Fen would always cultivate together with the other two Open Heaven Realm Masters who were adept at the Spear Dao. They could easily achieve greater heights in the Spear Dao due to the unique environment in this Universe Cave Heaven.

If this Universe Cave Heaven was like a pond, the ample Spear Dao Essence in this place was like the fish, and the people who were adept at the Spear Dao were like the anglers on the sh.o.r.e. As for how many fish they could catch, it depended on their talent and opportunities.

Qin Fens innate apt.i.tude was excellent, which was why he had built a solid foundation in the Spear Dao. Xia Lin Lang once said that if Qin Fen could keep achieving greater heights, he would have a chance to receive the inheritance of this Universe Cave Heaven that the previous owner had left behind.

It was the inheritance of an Eighth-Order Open Heaven Realm Master, so it was expected that everyone had their eyes on it. Qin Fen had always regarded himself to be the only choice to succeed the inheritance.

However, at this moment, someone had brought a giant net with very small holes to this pond that was full of fish.

After he was done with catching the fish, there wouldnt be many, if any left for everyone else.

That was the reason Qin Fen was heartbroken, and it was the same case for the other two Open Heaven Realm Masters who were experts in the Spear Dao.

Inside Lin Lang Palace, Yang Kai, who was seated with his legs crossed in the middle of the Grand Array, could clearly feel the abstruse aura streaming into his body from all directions, which helped him quickly comprehend the Spear Dao. The sense of enlightenment made him feel ecstatic.

The moment he was brought to this place by Xia Lin Lang, he could feel that the Spear Dao Essence in this place was abundant. It was the reason he had improved his comprehension of the Spear Dao by two levels in just ten years.

Nevertheless, he wasnt content with just that. His goal had always been to absorb all of the Spear Dao Essence in this place. As for whether his actions were considered drying out the lake to catch the fish, he didnt give a d.a.m.n.

Since Xia Lin Lang was trying to harm him, he certainly had to get his revenge.

Although Yang Kai already had this plan a long time ago, he was unable to carry it out. Now that he had refined one half of Lin Lang Palace, he had the right to do it now.

Other than being a palace artifact, Lin Lang Palace was also the command centre of the entire Universe Cave Heaven. Streams of aura around the edge of the Grand Array were closely connected to the Universe Cave Heaven, and every move made here would have far-reaching implications.

The status of Lin Lang Palace in this Universe Cave Heaven was the same as that of Blood Monster Divine Palace in the Blood Monster Cave Heaven. The reason Blood Crow wanted to refine Blood Monster Divine Palace back then was to take control of the entire Blood Monster Cave Heaven.

Even though Yang Kai had only refined half of Lin Lang Palace, he could do whatever he wanted, seeing as the controller of the other half wasnt around.

Streams of existent but faintly discernible Spear Dao Essence were being absorbed by Yang Kai, which greatly improved his mastery over the Spear Dao. Although he couldnt comprehend the Dao by blindly drawing it in, he would be able to digest it in the future.

The transformation going on in the Universe Cave Heaven was silent. Only the Open Heaven Realm Masters who were adept at the Spear Dao could clearly feel its loss. As time pa.s.sed, the originally ample Spear Dao Essence soon became spa.r.s.e and disappeared.

Qin Fen appeared to be devastated. Although Yang Kai had occupied Lin Lang Palace, Xia Lin Lang could still retrieve it upon her return. Nevertheless, the loss of Dao Essence was irreversible.

In the Grand Array of Lin Lang Palace, Yang Kai, who was seated with his legs crossed, belched as though he was full.

While he was seated there, his Spear Intent surged as though he was an invincible spear himself. Certainly, he couldnt digest all the Spear Dao Essence in a short time, but as long as he could a.s.similate it into his body, he believed that he could still improve his comprehension over the Spear Dao by another two levels, which would mean that it would be his second most powerful Grand Dao after the Dao of s.p.a.ce.

He had refined half of Lin Lang Palace and s.n.a.t.c.hed all the Spear Dao Essence in this Universe Cave Heaven. Although he was forcefully brought to this place, he had gained immense benefits in the end.

After what he had done, Yang Kai knew that he couldnt stay here any longer. Certainly, he wouldnt wait for Xia Lin Lang to return and settle the score with him.

Lin Lang Palace couldnt be taken away. In truth, he could forcefully bring it with him, but by doing so it would cause the Universe Cave Heaven to collapse. While those living inside this place would end up in a miserable state, Xia Lin Lang would also be determined to kill him.

As s.p.a.ce Principles undulated, Yang Kai disappeared from the spot the next moment.

When he reappeared, he was already in front of the portal where he previously pa.s.sed through to enter this place.

Xia Lin Langs aura also disappeared in this place when she left some time ago.

Initially, Yang Kai thought that given his master of the Dao of s.p.a.ce, it wouldnt be hard for him to open the portal even though he would need to spend some effort. However, upon arriving at this place, he was shocked to realise that there were no traces of a portal here at all.

After searching around for half a day, he still couldnt find it.

This caused Yang Kai to frown, but a thought flashed through his mind the next moment. As the half-owner of Lin Lang Palace, he could connect to the entire Universe Cave Heaven and look for the portal. It wouldnt be easy if Xia Lin Lang was here, but since she wasnt around, he could basically do whatever he wanted.

Soon, Yang Kai discovered something.

His eyes widened in amazement because not only was the portal hidden, but it also kept moving to new spots as time pa.s.sed. It was then he realised the reason he couldnt find the portal was that it was on the move. He had wasted half a day as he thought that the portal was still in its original spot.

Since he had found the portal, he instantly activated his s.p.a.ce Principles in an attempt to forcefully open it.

Half a day later, he wore a livid expression.

The portal had been sealed off by Xia Lin Lang as it was now connected to the entire Universe Cave Heaven. Unless he possessed a power that surpa.s.sed the heritage in this place, he could never force it open.

Basically, she wouldnt allow him to leave.

It was no wonder that despite knowing that Yang Kai was an expert in the Dao of s.p.a.ce, she still left the place without worries. It was apparent that she knew he couldnt break open the portal.

Although he was a half-owner of this place, his foundation was still weak. On the other hand, Xia Lin Lang had been managing this place for a long time, so it wasnt surprising that she had left behind some tricks.

After a moment of silence, Yang Kai turned around and returned to Lin Lang Palace.

Since she wouldnt allow him to leave, he would just stay here then. Previously, he was a captive who was powerless to go against Xia Lin Lang; however, now, he already had the capital to challenge the Seventh-Order woman. In fact, he was not afraid of her return. The reason he wanted to leave was that he didnt want to get into a pointless fight with her.

He moved around by using s.p.a.ce Principles, so Qin Fen and the others, who had been waiting outside of Lin Lang Palace, were not aware he had even left.

In the days that followed, Yang Kai stayed inside Lin Lang Palace to cultivate while trying to a.s.similate the Spear Dao Essence into his body.

Half a month later, he suddenly opened his eyes and appeared on the roof of the palace before looking up.

Half a month wasnt enough for him to fully absorb all the Dao Essence, but he was now only one step away from the Sixth Level in his Spear Dao.

A ray of light was approaching from the distance. Before she even arrived, she already noticed the transformation this place had gone through. Her grim gaze penetrated the void and clashed with that of Yang Kai as her murderous intent surged.

In response, Yang Kai flashed a smile at her.

After the curvy figure landed outside Lin Lang Palace, Qin Fen and the others, who looked like young kids who had been bullied while the adults were not around, wailed, Palace Master!

Xia Lin Lang sported a calm expression and looked up at Yang Kai, who was standing on the palace roof. Beneath her calmness was a volcano of fury that was about to burst.

A guilty Qin Fen said, Palace Master, Im sorry for disappointing you. Yang Kai barged into Lin Lang Palace and s.n.a.t.c.hed the Array Jade. He then occupied the palace and forcefully absorbed the Spear Dao Essence. Im so sorry!

Xia Lin Lang gently waved her hand without saying a word.

Seeing that, Qin Fen felt even more guilty.

Standing on the roof, Yang Kai extended his hand with a smile.

The next moment, Xia Lin Lang landed on a spot that was ten metres beside Yang Kai and stood alongside him. She then snorted, It seems that Ive underestimated you.

The view here is magnificent, Yang Kai replied, but it had nothing to do with what she had said.

Did you hide your true strength previously? Xia Lin Lang turned to look at him. Although her figure was shorter than Yang Kai's, her gaze was condescending. As a Seventh-Order Open Heaven Realm Master, she had the right to be haughty.

Yang Kai said with a smile, Ive never had a chance to show my true strength, so I dont think it could be considered that Ive hidden anything.

The World Spring started settling down in his Small Universe when Xia Lin Lang captured him. Since his Small Universe had been suppressed by it, he was unable to fully use his power.

Why did you not run away after doing so many terrible things? Are you waiting for death here? Xia Lin Lang looked mockingly at him. She then derided him by saying, Oh, Ive forgotten that even though youre adept at the Dao of s.p.a.ce, you couldnt leave this place without my permission.

Like a wise old man, Yang Kai snuck his hands into his sleeves and said sincerely, Thats why Ive been waiting here to have a discussion with you.

Go on.

Open the portal and let me leave. After that, well have nothing to do with each other anymore.

Xia Lin Lang examined him for a moment before saying, Ill just regard it as you spouting nonsense. She extended her hand, Pa.s.s the Array Jade to me, and I can pretend that nothing has happened. Ill still wait for you to ascend to the Seventh-Order; otherwise, Ill kill you even though I might lose the World Spring. After your death, the Dao Essence youve stolen will return to this place, and even your own Dao Essence will stay. In that case, we havent actually suffered any loss.

Yang Kai sighed, When ones strength is weak, their words carry no weight.
