The ck Ink n had set up their base in front of a Territory Gate that led to a nearby Great Territory, which made things convenient in the event that they had to make a hasty retreat. Now that the Pseudo-Royal Lords had been scared off by Yang Kai and had run away, the rest of the ck Ink n Army followed suit.<div>
That being said, the ck Ink n Army had massive numbers and it was impossible for all of them to retreat at once; thus, even though the two camps had been half a day’s worth of travel apart, the Red me Army would still be able to score significant kills if they rushed over now.
The Red me Army were not at all afraid of a ck Ink n Army without any Pseudo-Royal Lords among them. They knew for certain that it was going to be a one-sided ughter!
Zuo Qiu Yang Hua and the other injured Eighth-Order Masters of the Eastern Army looked on with delight as they watched the Red me Army fly off into the distance. It had been 10 long years and the Red me Army was finally able to im E-5 Territory; however, the most important aspect to celebrate now was the fact that Yang Kai’s appearance led to the ck Ink n suffering significant losses among their top Masters.
The ck Ink n would deeply feel this loss for quite some time.
Many years ago, the Humans figured out what the ck Ink n were up to and changed their strategy as well. Reiming Great Territories was no longer their goal; instead, they aimed to kill the ck Ink n’s strongest Masters as that was the only way for them to weaken the ck Ink n.
Everything that the Red me Army aplished now was thanks to a single man. Zuo Qiu Yang Hua and the others were exhrated at the thought that the Red me Army might finally be able to count a Ninth-Order Master among them, and one as powerful as Yang Kai to boot.
“Sir, did the Supreme Headquarters send you over to aid us?” Zuo Qiu Yang Hua asked as he withdrew his gaze from the impending battle.
“Indeed,” Yang Kai nodded, “Senior Brother Mi said that the battle was bing perilous in E-5 Territory, so he asked me to make the trip.”This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.
After seeing the looks of joy on everyone’s faces, Yang Kai could more or less figure out what they were thinking so he chuckled and added, “But, I won’t be staying with the Red me Army.”
The Eighth-Order Masters’ delight turned to shock as one of them asked, “What do you mean, Sir?”
It seemed as if things were not quite what they expected…<div>
“We have 12 Armies, but there aren’t enough Ninth-Order Masters to assumemand of all of them,” Yang Kai exined, “That’s why I’ll be moving around the six without a Ninth-Order Master to support them. Anyone who runs into any difficulty can ask me for help and I’ll head over at once. As you know, I’m proficient in the use of Space Principles and can travel at great speeds. This is an advantage of mine that the other Ninth-Order Masters can’t match.”
Having heard what Yang Kai said, the Eighth-Order Masters fell deep in thought.
Although they yearned for Yang Kai to stay and assumemand of the Red me Army, doing so would be too unfair to the other five Armies without a Ninth-Order Master as they too were under a lot of pressure.
An immeasurable number of Humans had sacrificed their lives throughout the many years of war against the ck Ink n, and every Human hated the ck Ink n to the core. The Humans could not waste any amount of strength they had that could be used to overpower the ck Ink n.
Therefore, though they were a little disappointed after hearing what Yang Kai said, they could still ept it as they were leaders of an Army and wise enough to know what was best.
Zuo Qiu Yang Hua nodded and said, “You’re right, Sir. Having you take the trouble to move around more is the only way to minimize our losses.”
Yang Kai smiled and assured, “You don’t need to worry. It’s been so many years so I’m sure the next generation of Ninth-Order Masters wille along soon enough. In the future, there’ll be more than enough Ninth-Order Masters to go around.”
His words lifted everyone’s spirits. Just as Yang Kai said, the prolonged war against the ck Ink n had given the Human Race Masters enough time to grow and rise up. Right now, every Army had a group of talented Masters who were at the peak of their cultivation and had the chance to be Ninth-Order Masters.
Perhaps some pleasant surprises would happen with these talented youths. When the time came, the Humans would see a sudden jump in the number of Ninth-Order Masters. There would surely be enough of them to lead more than 20 Armies, let alone the 12 they had now. The Humans would no longer be troubled by ack of Ninth-Order Masters.
Zuo Qiu Yang Hua then frowned, “The ck Ink n should also be having Territory Lords bing Royal Lords soon. There are now a lot of Acquired Territory Lords too, all of whom have the ability to be Royal Lords. It’s easier for the ck Ink n to ascend to a new realm as well. Who knows what kind of heritage they have now after so many years? It’s a shame that the Territory Lords who have a chance to be Royal Lords have all been kept within the No-Return Pass to grow with the help of the High-Rank ck Ink Nests there. The Humans have no way of gathering any intelligence on them.”
Upon hearing this, Yang Kai raised his brow, “What a coincidence, I was just nning on making a trip over there to take a look.”<div>
“You’re heading to the No-Return Pass, Sir?” Zuo Qiu Yang Hua asked, startled.
“That’s right,” Yang Kai affirmed, “I’m heading over to bring something back.”
He was perfectly calm and rxed, but the Eighth-Order Masters froze in shock as they exchanged nces. Deep down inside, they were all in awe of just how bold Yang Kai was.
None of the other Ninth-Order Masters would ever think of doing something like that, but on second thought, even when Yang Kai was still an Eighth-Order Master, he had already gone to the No-Return Pass to cause trouble for the ck Ink n. Now that he was a Ninth-Order Master, it would only be easier for him and it was unlikely for him to get into any real danger.
In any case, they were not in a position to worry about a Ninth-Order Master’s safety.
“Be careful, Sir,” Zuo Qiu Yang Hua said seriously.
Yang Kai nodded and instructed them, “After reiming E-5 Territory, stay here for a while and re-organize yourselves. Wait for orders from the Supreme Headquarters to see what the next step is going to be.”
“Yes, Sir!” The group of Eighth-Order Masters promised. Even if Yang Kai had not said anything, they would not have attempted anything on their own ord either. The Supreme Headquarters was in charge of directing all of the Armies. Even though each Army seemed to be fighting independently, in reality, they were able to provide each other with some level of support thanks to centralized coordination. If any one Army moved too far ahead and broke off contact from the rest, they would be in a terrible situation if the ck Ink n seized that opportunity to target them.
Yang Kai did not stick around to say anything else. He got to his feet and dashed off into the void while Zuo Qiu Yang Hua and the others saw him off.
Over at the Territory Gate, the ck Ink n Army was hurriedly evacuating. The Pseudo-Royal Lords had been the first to flee and most of the Territory Lords sensed that things were not looking good for the ck Ink n and had fled as well. The ck Ink n Army was akin to a headless chicken as they were without a clear leader. Even though a fair number of Territory Lords had stayed back to keep things in order, it was hard for them to maintain any semnce of it as the Army was in a state of disarray.
Moreover, when they realised that the Red me Army wasing over to attack them, the situation became even more chaotic. Though the Humans would have to travel for half a day, the Territory Gate was only so big so there was a limit to how many could pass through at a time. Half a day was not nearly enough time for the ck Ink n Army to retreat as a whole. At least half of them would have to stay back to keep the Humans upied in order to give the rest a chance to escape.<div>
Thus, a few Territory Lords began organizing the troops and most of the expendable ck Ink nsmen had been left behind to dy the enemy while the stronger Masters and those with more potential were allowed to leave first.
Just as soon as they finished making their arrangements though, a powerful aura began rapidly approaching them.
The aura was apanied by a brilliant light that seemed to leave a dazzling trail against the darkness of the void.
“It’s Yang Kai!” A Territory Lord screamed in terror.
Every single ck Ink nsman feared the killing star and just a while ago, he was able to sneak into their camp and capture two Pseudo-Royal Lords alive. It had not been long since then, but he was alreadying at them again. He was simply relentless.
Upon noticing this, the Territory Lords who stayed back to keep the Army in order could not hold still. They could not bother about anyone else anymore as they started fleeing towards the Territory Gate in a bid to escape as soon as possible.
All at once, the already disorderly ck Ink n Army descended into utter chaos.
The sound of rushing water was heard as Yang Kai summoned the Space-Time River. The many Dao Strengths surged with the waves and crashed down on the ck Ink n Army.
None could stop it as entire swaths of ck Ink nsmen were instantly swept up and sunk into the Space-Time River where they were immediately killed.
Yang Kai kept pushing forward as his Space-Time River continued to rampage along. The ck Ink nsmen who were sucked into the river were instantly tossed out again, but they had all lost their vitality.
There was no Pseudo-Royal Lord around and the ck Ink n Army did not even have Innate Territory Lords leading them. It was impossible to imagine the damage and deaths that a single Ninth-Order Master could inflict on them now.
Although some of the ck Ink nsmen tried to fight back, their efforts were meaningless. Their attacks did not even manage to reach Yang Kai. Some were absorbed by the Space-Time River while others were deflected by the twisted Space-Time around it.
In just a few moments, Yang Kai arrived at the Territory Gate and rushed headlong into it.
The moment he entered the Territory Gate, the once-stable portal started shaking violently. It was as if the Territory Gate was about to shatter as Void Cracks weaved across its surface.
Many of the fleeing ck Ink nsmen could not stop in time and crashed into the shattered space only to be instantly shed to pieces.
Many more rushed in but they fell dead the moment they touched the Territory Gate.
Some of the Territory Lords finally realised what was happening. Yang Kai had done something to the Territory Gate so they could no longer use it.
It would have been hard for anyone else to do such a thing. Territory Gates had existed since ancient times and had always been an extremely stable passageway between Great Territories; however, for someone like Yang Kai who was a Master of the Dao of Space, it was easy enough for him to turn the Territory Gate into a death trap. At this point, his mastery of the Dao of Space far exceeded what he had before he entered the Universe Furnace.
This allowed him to kill many enemies without even having to make a move personally!
The Territory Lords who chose to hang back were sorely regretting their decision now. If they had known this would happen, they would have fled with the Pseudo-Royal Lords.
However, at the time, they had been feeling lucky about their chances, and it took a lot of effort for them to gather the soldiers they had under theirmand, so they were reluctant to simply abandon them. None of them expected this cruel twist of fate.
They could no longer use the Territory Gate and the Red me Army was rapidly closing in. Those who had already gone through the Territory Gate had managed to escape, but the rest of the ck Ink n Army who remained behind did not have anywhere to run.
Though they were still massive in numbers, without any Pseudo-Royal Lords and only a few Territory Lords, they were not a match for the Red me Army that was hungry for ughter. It was only a matter of time before they were all killed.
Thus, they began to drown in their own sorrow. The killing star had used a simple trick to guarantee the deaths of millions of the ck Ink nsmen. Theymented his cruelty.
In the distance, the leaders of the Red me Army had seen this scene ying out in front of them. Initially, they were rushing over as fast as they could as they were afraid that the ck Ink n Army would have left through the Territory Gate before they could arrive; however, the Territory Gate had been turned into a deathly trap now and the ck Ink n Army had no way out. They were stuck here.
Since that was the case, the Humans no longer had to make a mad dash and instead began to form coherent formations as they proceeded steadily.
