<h4> Chapter 968. Taking The Lead</h4>
The sky was dim and the earth was smashed, a scene one would only expect to see at the end of the world.
The masters of the Three ns flew over a city as their Divine Senses all spread out. Yet, they have not found a single aura down below; chilling their hearts.
This was already the tenth dead city they had encountered.
These towns were originally bustling with people and activity, but now they had be bloodstained ruins that eerilycked any corpses.
After leaving Nine Heavens Holy Land, the Tong Xuan Realm masters had spent an entire month on the road. A few days ago, as they approached the former boundaries of Water Spirit Temple’s territory, the Three ns’ masters discovered that the situation was much worse than they originally thought.
The Bone Race had expanded rapidly; a swath of territory ten thousand kilometres in radius with Water Spirit Temple at its centre had turned into a deste wastnd where not even birds remained.
It was as if this area had be a dead zone where no one lived and nothing grew.
At least several hundred thousand humans had disappeared from thisnd!
How many Bone Race nsmen could be spawned from these hundreds of thousands of corpses, no one could tell.
A blue light shed in front of the group of masters and Yang Kai’s figure appeared, his expression extremely solemn.
“How is the situation?” Chu Ling Xiao hurriedly asked.
Because Yang Kai possessed a Star Shuttle, he had gone ahead a few days ago to scout out the situation and had not returned until just now.
“Not good!” Yang Kai shook his head before turning his attention to the group of masters in front of him, “The Bone Race currently has at least three thousand nsmen, all of whom have at least reached the Transcendent Realm.
When this remark came out, everyone’s face paled.
When Yang Kai had first encountered newly revived Bone Race, there had only been a few dozen Saints and a hundred or so Transcendents among them, their total poption less than two hundred.
But in just half a year, their number had actually swelled to more than three thousand.
Such astonishing growth was difficult for everyone present to ept.
And these three thousand Bone Race nsmen were all at least Transcendent Realm masters!
Such strength was enough to sweep clean this world.
“We only have a bit more than a thousand people on our side, less than a third their number,” Chu Ling Xiao muttered unconsciously. Even someone as seasoned and experienced as he couldn’t help showing a grim look at this moment.
Zhang Yuan, Thunder Dragon, and all the other top masters were also aware of the seriousness of the problem.
Yang Kai nodded lightly, “While there’s some bad news, there is also some good. Although there are many more of them than before, most of them are still just Transcendents, the number of Saint Realm masters they possess hasn’t increased much. I estimate that from six months ago, there might be twenty more Saints in total on their side while on ours there are over two hundred. In terms of top-level masters, we have a decisive advantage.”
“But the remaining Transcendents are still a big problem,” Meng Wu Ya frowned.
Yang Kai grinned fiercely, “Just leave those Transcendents to me.”
Everyone looked at him with amazement, not knowing where his confidence wasing from.
Even Meng Wu Ya or Chu Ling Xiao wouldn’t dare say they could deal two or three thousand Transcendents, never mind Yang Kai.
“We should be d that it took us less than half a year to assemble. If we have given the Bone Race six more months, they really would have be unstoppable,” Yang Kai said as a look of fear shed across his face. The Bone Race’s rate of development was simply too fast.
Right now, with the Three ns coborating, they should still be able to extinguish the Bone Race, but if they had given the Bone Race another year, or even half a year to prepare, victory would no longer be guaranteed.
“Their entire poption is now upying Water Spirit Temple’s former headquarters, an ind about one thousand kilometres away from here. We’ve all been travelling for so long, so I suggest we rest here for a while and then set off again two dayster,” Yang Kai shouted in a clear and resonant voice.
No one raised any objections. They were now just a stone’s throw away from Water Spirit Temple where they would soon be waging a great war, so it was only natural for them to recover to their peak state first. In theing battle, one moment of carelessness could very well result in death.
For now, many masters flew down to the ground and looked for positions to meditate and restore themselves.
Inside Water Spirit Temple, atop an ind covered by a thick cloud of blood mist, one thick enough to even dye the surrounding pristine waters a bloody red.
In the middle of this indy a huge blood pool, one that churned and tumbled as the fresh blood within it seemingly boiled.
Many pale bones and countless herbs floated inside the blood pool, simr to what Yang Kai had once seen before.
The only difference now though was that this blood pool was muchrger than what Yang Kai hadst visited, it now upied almost half of the entire ind.
Beside the blood pool, there were Bone Race masters who were pouring their own vital essence into the pool to help spawn new nsmen.
Innumerable hideous faces, like tormented ghost, were bound within the blood pool, wailing as they struggled to break free, filling the entire ind with a terrifying air.
Ke Luo sat at the highest point on the ind, overlooking the blood pool down below with satisfaction.
Suddenly, a Bone Race nsman hurried over and reported, “Sir, the masters of this world seem to have been attracted to our presence. They are now resting in a ce not far from here.”
Ke Luo’s eerie green eyes shed a ghastly light as he grinned, “They’re finally here, but it’s already toote!”
As he spoke, he rose from the chair he was sitting upon, “The inhabitants of this world are truly ignorant, actually giving my n half a year to prepare. Without these past six months of buffer time, even if our n hadpletely recovered, we wouldn’t have been able to create much stir, but things are different now. Since they dare toe, we must let them pay a suitable price. We’ll grind their bodies and use their remains to create more of our n!”
His voice was high spirited and filled with confidence, causing the bone Race nsmen who hade to report to fill with excitement, as if he could already see the scene of his n dominating this world and enving the beings who lived here.
“Transmit my orders! All our nsmen are to stop pouring their life essence into the blood pool, and instead have the newly born nsmen absorb as much energy from the blood pool as soon as possible to shape their physiques!”
“Yes!” The Bone Race nsmen immediately withdrew and rushed to the blood pool to spread the word.
After a moment, the Bone Race nsmen who were gathered around the blood pool stopped pouring their essence into it and began silently extracting energy from it instead.
The skeletons which originally did not possess any flesh or blood soon began forming their physiques.
The Bone Race nsmen who already had flesh on their bodies also became stronger after absorbing energy from the blood pool.
The Bone Race was nning to go all out as well.
The frightening blood cloud which had engulfed Water Spirit Temple’s main ind gradually disappeared as the energy contained within it was absorbed into the bodies of the Bone Race nsmen, bing a part of their strength.
In the blink of an eye, two days passed by.
Above the endless sea, the one thousand masters from the Thee ns flew towards Water Spirit Temple.
Atop the ind in front of them, the Bone Race nsmen stood fearlessly, their fiery green eyes filled with a violent and bloodthirsty light as they stared at the Three ns’ masters like they were delicacies to be devoured.
Many Bone Race nsmen were even licking their lips, appearingpletely undaunted.
Ten kilometres from the ind, Yang Kai came to a stop, the masters from the Three ns quickly forming up behind him.
Countless curious eyes stared towards the front.
Of those who hade here, almost none of them had ever encountered a member of the Bone Race before, so this was actually their first time seeing this enemy they hade to face.
On the surface, they appeared like ordinary humans, the only difference being their burning green eye. The coldness of these eyes and the bloodthirsty aura which pulsed from their bodies made everyone who was facing these Bone Race masters ufortable.
“Are they the Bone Race?” Many people muttered in surprise.
“They’re not such a big deal after all. I had thought they would have three heads and six arms, but it turns out they only have the normal amount!”
“Ha ha ha! We’ll soon let this trash know the meaning of fear!”
Everyone began shouting, seemingly not putting the Bone Race in their eyes.
“Yang Kai, what’s our n? You’re inmand, we’ll follow your orders,” Zhang Yuan stared forward, his Demonic Qi surging as a dangerous aura began pulsing from his body.
This was the enemy Great Demon God had once fought; now, after thousands of years, he, Demon Commander Zhang Yuan, was doing the same, giving him an indescribable feeling. He had secretly decided to give his all to clean up this mess Great Demon God had left behind so as not to bring shame to his legacy.
“I’m going to make the first move, all of you should wait patiently,” Yang Kai said lightly.
“You what?” Zhang Yuan was stunned and turned his head and looked at him; Thunder Dragon and the many Human Race masters also gave him strange looks.

Slowly shaking his head, Zhang Yuan said, “It’s not that this Senior is looking down on you, but with your strength, if you rush in there alone, you’ll die without a doubt.”
“That’s right, Little Yang Kai. Don’t forget that you are currently the one inmand of our Three ns’ alliance, so it’s not necessary for you to personally take the lead,” Meng Wu Ya said worriedly, “How about letting the old master step forward for you?”
He was afraid Yang Kai might have an ident.
“No need, naturally I have my reasons for going on ahead. Just watch,” Yang Kai smiled confidently.
Saying so, he immediately summoned his Star Shuttle and in a sh of light, soared into the skies above Water Spirit Temple.
Down below, countless Bone Race eyes stared towards him and Ke Luo coldly snorted, called out, “It’s you!”
Obviously he remembered Yang Kai’s appearance. Thest time they met, Yang Kai had yed him for a fool, causing Ke Luo to decide that in the future, he would track down Yang Kai and torture him brutally.
What he hadn’t expected was for Yang Kai to actually offer himself up.
Immediately overjoyed, Ke Luo waved his hand and shouted, “Capture him, I want the Star Shuttle in his hand!”
At that moment, a Second-Order Saint Realm Bone Race nsman flew up, sending out a burst of malevolent intent that formed itself into a nearly tangible beast that bit towards Yang Kai.
This monster was massive, and of a shape no one from Tong Xuan Realm had ever seen before. The Evil Qi it gave off seemed able to consume the Heavens and Earth.
An azure light shed and Yang Kai’s Star Shuttle easily avoided this attack as he continued to fly about over Water Spirit Temple, a powerful Spiritual Energy constantly flooding out from him and covering Bone Race nsman on the ind.
Ke Luo’s eyes narrowed as he sneered, “A Divine Sense attack?”
As he spoke, he sent out a pulse of Spiritual Energy no less intense than the ones Yang Kai was releasing, shaping it into an invisible sword and piercing it towards Yang Kai’s Knowledge Sea.
Yang Kai’s figure suddenly went stiff.
“Hmph, seeking one’s own end! Actually daring to show off a Divine Sense attack in front of me, it seems you have no concept of your own strength,” Ke Luo snickered.
