However, after Yang Kai cast the Soul Rending Thorn earlier, Che Kong was only momentarily affected and soon regained his composure.This content belongs to novelhulk.com, if the content is missing please go to novelhulk.com website to read the full content

Yang Kai didn’t think the other party was powerful enough to ignore the Soul Rending Thorn’s impact; after all, he had sacrificed quite a bit of his Soul to power that Soul Rending Thorn. Since it was also damaging to him, there was no way it wasn’t harmful to a Territory Lord.

Even though the Soul Rending Thorn wasn’t as effective in the outside world as it was inside the Black Ink Nest Space, it couldn’t be completely ineffective.

The only explanation was that Che Kong had used a Secret Technique to suppress the damage to his Soul.

The Black Ink Clan had suffered a huge setback because of the Soul Rending Thorns a while back, so they must have been vigilant against these strange artifacts now.

Since it was just a suppressed injury, it was easy for Yang Kai to target this weakness.

In the battle against Che Kong earlier, Yang Kai didn’t target his Soul at all. He hadn’t forgotten about it, but instead wanted to numb the other party’s sense of wariness.

When they were circling around Great Evolution Pass earlier, Cha Pu had sent a Divine Sense transmission and said that he could help, but Yang Kai had told him to wait.

Cha Pu was badly wounded, so even if he made a move at that point, it wouldn’t have been impactful.

Only after Yang Kai destroyed Che Kong’s Black Ink Nest would there be an opening for Cha Pu to make a move.

A sneak attack from a heavily wounded Eighth-Order Master might not be enough to kill Che Kong, but what about a series of attacks on his Soul?

At this moment, Yang Kai could clearly feel that Che Kong’s Soul was being shredded.

The Soul of a top Territory Lord was just as powerful as any Eighth-Order Master.

Although Yang Kai’s Soul was essentially on par with an Eighth-Order Master’s, his current actions would only lead to mutually assured death under normal circumstances. No one could gain the upper hand in such a fight.

Nevertheless, it was different now. After their Divine Senses clashed several times, Che Kong was clearly in a disadvantageous position. He kept roaring in pain while his gigantic body trembled.

He could no longer even exert enough force with his hand to hold Yang Kai in place. It was apparent that the damage to his Soul that he had been suppressing finally broke out and the Soul Rending Thorn was madly digging in.

Yang Kai didn’t bother to shake off the other party’s grasp as he just continued to pummel Che Kong with his Spiritual Energy. The invisible force exploded in Che Kong’s head, causing his seven orifices to bleed.

“Just die already!” Yang Kai roared and exerted more force with his Dragon Claws before pulling Che Kong’s arms off, causing blood to spurt out from the fresh wounds.

Che Kong howled and staggered backwards. While his vision had turned blurred, he saw Yang Kai charging towards him and was consumed with fear.

He didn’t panic when the Royal Lord Black Ink Nest was destroyed, but now that his life was at risk, he could no longer keep his cool.

The instant he felt the murderous intent flooding through him, his mind became a mess and he couldn’t summon his strength at all. He turned around and attempted to flee.

The void around Che Kong became viscous all of a sudden as Yang Kai raised his hands and two marks appeared. The powers of Blue and Yellow Crystals were drawn from his Small Universe as they gathered together between his palms and turned into the purest white light.

All the surrounding darkness was driven off.

Before the war began, all of the Seventh-Order Masters had received a certain amount of Evil Purging Divine Spears, including those from Dawn.

However, Yang Kai received none of those.

Evil Purging Divine Spears damaged and killed Black Ink Clansmen with Purifying Light, but Yang Kai was the one who sealed all the Purifying Light inside the Evil Purging Divine Spears, which was why he didn’t need any for himself.

Following that, the Royal Lord roared, “You think you’ve won just by killing this King? The Human Race will forever be our slaves! That day will surely come! Black Ink Eternal!”

On the battlefield, both the Humans and the Black Ink Clansmen turned to look at the source of the voice.

In fact, they couldn’t see anything because the battlefield was too chaotic, especially in the region where Old Ancestor Xiao Xiao and Mo Zhao had fought. The moment these eyes turned to look at the battle, all they could see was an endless region of darkness explode all of a sudden.

At the same time, the Royal Lord’s aura vanished.

Mo Zhao was dead!

It wasn’t the first time the Humans managed to kill a Royal Lord in history, but Mo Zhao’s death had a profound impact on the Great Evolution Theatre. It meant the end of an era, and the arrival of another.

Old Ancestor Xiao Xiao shot out from the cloud of darkness, and despite her petite figure, she appeared incredibly imposing against the weltering darkness.

There were blood stains on her clothes, and her face was slightly pale.

Although she had successfully killed the Royal Lord, she was also wounded. When the Royal Lord was still able to draw energy from his Black Ink Nest in the beginning, they could be considered equally matched.

The reason she could kill Mo Zhao so quickly was that his Black Ink Nest had been smashed.

Mo Zhao was badly wounded to begin with, and without his Black Ink Nest’s support, his strength instantly plummeted.

Even in such a condition though, he couldn’t be considered a weakling. Old Ancestor Xiao Xiao couldn’t kill him without suffering wounds in the process.

However, she didn’t have time to recuperate at this moment. After killing Mo Zhao, she headed straight towards the Ninth-Order Black Ink Disciple.

She had not forgotten that there was still a powerful foe on the battlefield. Only by killing him could the Humans seize victory in this war. If such an enemy managed to flee, there wouldn’t be any peaceful days for the Great Evolution Army.

The Black Ink Disciple was initially bogged down by six Eighth-Order Open Heaven Realm Masters; however, after a prolonged fight, only five of them remained as one had been killed.

The fallen Eighth-Order Division Commander had already been seriously injured to begin with, so when the Royal Lord was in a perilous situation earlier, the Black Ink Disciple flared up in an attempt to save Mo Zhao. It was that Eighth-Order Open Heaven Realm Master who sacrificed his life to stop him from leaving the fight.

Although the Ninth-Order Black Ink Disciple managed to kill the Eighth-Order Division Commander, the latter’s sacrifice bought enough time for the other five to re-engage.

After such a long time, the Black Ink Disciple and the Eighth-Order Open Heaven Realm Masters were all exhausted and wounded. With five Eighth-Order Open Heaven Realm Masters joining forces, it wasn’t easy for the Black Ink Disciple to break through their siege.

That was why the deadlock persisted.

Nevertheless, the instant Mo Zhao passed away, this Black Ink Disciple knew he was doomed.

He had just broken through recently, so he was certainly not Old Ancestor Xiao Xiao’s match. Although the Old Ancestor was wounded and exhausted, he wasn’t in any better shape.

Therefore, the moment Mo Zhao fell, this Black Ink Disciple grit his teeth as a red light radiated from him and his Blood Essence surged.

He started burning his own Blood Essence and the ferocity with which he wielded his sword increased sharply.

All five Eighth-Order Open Heaven Realm Masters were taken aback; however, one of them charged forward instead of backing down. A red light also shone from his body as it seemed that he was determined to make the enemy remain even at the cost of his life.

The Black Ink Disciple wasn’t the only one who could burn his Blood Essence. The Eighth-Order Open Heaven Realm Master could also do that.

Old Ancestor Xiao Xiao knew that they couldn’t let this Black Ink Disciple flee, and the Eighth-Order Open Heaven Realm Masters were also aware of that.

However, there was a huge price to pay to stop a Ninth-Order Black Ink Disciple who was determined to flee.

Although five of them had joined forces, four of them retreated at this moment while the remaining one dashed forward.

Those who backed down sported sorrowful expressions.
