Chapter 703

In the endless starry sky, a layer of earth-yellow light curtain wrapped Yang Kai and Zhai Yao. Inside the light curtain, an unrestrained energy was shuttling, tearing their bodies.

Both of them were shirtless, revealing their stalwart figures. Their bodies were bloody, and there were countless wounds on their skin, with the flesh and blood wriggling continuously.

Although Zhai Yao has a handsome face that is even more beautiful than a woman’s, his physical quality is also quite strong, completely not the level that an alchemist can possess. It can be said that like Yang Kai, Zhai Yao is not only proficient in alchemy, but also has unique capital in combat.

Both of them are sitting cross-legged in the protection of the defensive secret treasure, using this method to temper their physical bodies while comprehending the mysterious starry sky power, attempting to benefit from it.

It has been two days since they came to the starry sky. In these two days, Zhai Yao has been constantly trying to release the protection of the defensive secret treasure and let the starry sky power pour in. The amount is also getting larger and larger. For him, the harvest is not small.

After two days of tempering, his physical body has become much stronger.

But Yang Kai is gradually becoming a little dissatisfied. Now that the starry sky power is pouring in, he has no pressure at all. On the contrary, Zhai Yao seems to be on the verge of exhaustion every time.

If he continues to practice like this, he will not be able to make much progress.

After thinking about it, Yang Kai suddenly said, “Brother Zhai, let’s act separately. I see that you seem to consume a lot of true essence to maintain this secret treasure. Without me, you should be a little more relaxed.”

In these two days, Zhai Yao has also been constantly taking pills to supplement his true essence. Otherwise, he simply cannot maintain the function of the secret treasure.

The pills he brought are all of good quality, obviously he was well prepared in advance.

Hearing this, Zhai Yao frowned and said, “It’s okay to separate, but do you have a Saint-level defensive secret treasure？ A low-grade Saint-level one may not be enough, it must be at least a middle-grade Saint-level one.”

“I think I probably won’t need a secret treasure.” Yang Kai said with a strange expression.

“What？” Zhai Yao clearly thought he had misheard. “You don’t mean to withstand the power of the starry sky with your physical body, do you？”

“I’ll give it a try first. If it doesn’t work, we’ll talk about it later.” Yang Kai suggested.

Zhai Yao frowned and nodded slightly after a long while. “Then be careful. Although I also think your physical body strength may be stronger than mine. But this is no joke. This is the starry sky. If your physical body is not strong enough, there is only a dead end here, and even Saint Realm powerhouses are no exception！”

“I know.” Yang Kai smiled hehe. “Then I’m going out.”

As soon as the words fell, Yang Kai had already rushed out of the range protected by Zhai Yao’s secret treasure.

Standing in this starry sky, Yang Kai immediately felt something different. There was an indescribable energy surging in all directions, as if there was an invisible enemy. Mercilessly attacking himself fiercely.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh…

Immediately, countless tiny wounds appeared on that mighty body, and blood flowed out. Instead of feeling pain Yang Kai’s face was filled with ecstasy.

Sure enough, his physical body could withstand the tearing force of the starry sky. Not only would there be no danger to his life, but if he tempered himself here, he could instead obtain enormous and unimaginable benefits.

Zhai Yao’s complexion instantly turned green. Twitching the corners of his mouth, he said with some envy and jealousy, “Monster！”

He simply didn’t dare to leave the protection range of his secret treasure. Although his physical quality was not bad either, it was far from reaching Yang Kai’s level.

It could even be said that even if he was given a few more years, he might not necessarily be able to reach it.

“How do you feel？” Zhai Yao quickly calmed down and asked curiously.

“It’s so refreshing.” Yang Kai had a charming expression on his face and winked at him, saying, “Brother Zhai, do you want to come out and give it a try?

“No need, I still have self-awareness！” Zhai Yao quickly refused. “Well. Since you don’t need the defensive secret treasure, then let’s act separately and see who finds the void passage leading to Tongxuan Continent first.”

“Okay！” Yang Kai nodded heavily.

“It’s not convenient to communicate here. If I find the void passage first and I reach my limit but you don’t show up, I will leave first.”

“Brother Zhai, don’t worry about me. When I’ve had enough fun, I will also leave here.”

“Then be careful and don’t die.” Zhai Yao solemnly exhorted in a deep voice. “There is one more thing you should know. The power of the starry sky is not evenly distributed and unchanging. Maybe there will be some places where the power of the starry sky is extremely rich. You must not go to such places. If you go, you may really die！”

“There are such places？” Yang Kai’s face showed a look of eagerness to try, extremely excited.

Zhai Yao rubbed his forehead, feeling a severe headache. He found that although Yang Kai’s personality was very similar to his own, there was one point that was definitely different. When facing great danger, he belonged to the steady type, but Yang Kai was the type who extremely liked to take risks.

“I have said everything that should be said. If you die, it has nothing to do with me. Farewell for now, and we’ll meet again in Floating Cloud City！” Zhai Yao clasped his fists, no longer bothering to pay attention to Yang Kai, and turned around and left.

“Take this.” Yang Kai casually threw an object and tossed it to Zhai Yao.

“What is it？”

“A good thing.” Yang Kai grinned. “If you are really seriously injured, use this for external application and internal consumption, and you will recover quickly.”

“Thanks.” Zhai Yao nodded with a smile and quickly disappeared into the starry sky, getting farther and farther away.

Looking at his disappearing back, Yang Kai smiled slightly.

Regarding Zhai Yao, Yang Kai still had a good impression. This time, he also received great help from him in obtaining the medicinal liquid of the Millennium Demon Flower. If it weren’t for him, Yang Kai felt that he couldn’t have been so smooth.

So before parting, he gave him some Myriad Medicine Spirit Milk.

In the past, Yang Kai had not come into contact with alchemy and could not distinguish the grade and preciousness of high-level medicinal materials. But now, he had already become a very skilled alchemist, and his vision was also much broader than before.

He could also distinguish the grades of the Myriad Medicine Spirit Liquid series.

The lowest level of Myriad Medicine Spirit Liquid was almost at the Spiritual level. The Myriad Medicine Spirit Milk was at the Saint level. At least for the Myriad Medicine Spirit Paste with the least amount, Yang Kai still couldn’t tell, but he always felt that it was somewhat different and seemed to have exceeded the Saint level category.

Giving the Myriad Medicine Spirit Milk to Zhai Yao was also regarded as a return for his kindness.

Standing quietly in place and waiting for a moment, Yang Kai then turned around and walked in the completely opposite direction to Zhai Yao.

Traveling in the endless starry sky, the reference for the direction was only the planet of Tongxuan Continent below. Yang Kai was looking for the Void Tunnel while tempering his physical body.

The power of the starry sky was constantly tearing at his body. Although that power was not life-threatening to Yang Kai, it was enough to hurt him.

In the flowing blood, some faint golden awns could be faintly seen.

That was the blood of the Demon God.

Li Rong and Han Fei had also said that one day, Yang Kai’s blood would all turn golden, and by that time, he would be able to possess the same extraordinary abilities as the legendary Great Demon God.

Yang Kai was looking forward to the arrival of that day.

Losing track of time, Yang Kai had no idea how long he had been adrift in the starry sky. At first, the power of the starry sky could still harm his physical body. Gradually, after his physical body became tougher, these forces hitting him felt like tickling and had no effect.

Yang Kai still hadn’t seen the Void Tunnel. He felt that he should have gone in the wrong direction. The direction that Zhai Yao was looking for was the location of the Void Tunnel.

But he wasn’t in a hurry either. He just randomly shuttled through the starry sky, looking for places where he could temper his physical body and understand the laws of heaven.

As Zhai Yao had said, in the starry sky, the distribution of those mysterious energies was very uneven. Some places had more, and some places had less.

The places with more energy were the targets that Yang Kai was seeking. Only there could he receive effective tempering.

During this long and boundless journey, Yang Kai’s disposition and state of mind also underwent good changes invisibly. His thinking and spiritual sense became more acute.

One day, Yang Kai was sitting upright in a void with rich energy, tempering his physical body and releasing his spiritual sense to experience the various mysteries contained in the starry sky. Suddenly he felt something was not quite right.

He hurriedly immersed his mind and carefully examined it for a while. After a moment he finally discovered the source of the problem.

It actually came from his own Wordless Black Book.

To be precise, it was from something within the space of the black book.

The starry sky power around was, at a very subtle speed and without leaving a trace, pouring into the space of the black book and being absorbed by something within the black book space.

Looking carefully, Yang Kai was extremely surprised. He discovered that what was absorbing the starry sky power was actually those two black round stones whose materials and uses were unknown.

As the energy poured in, the two black round stones actually also flickered with a dim light, now bright now dark), and seemed to suddenly become full of vitality.

Yang Kai was extremely astonished.

He keenly perceived that if one wanted to get to the bottom of these round stones, the starry sky power was probably the key!

That old friend of Old Du had obtained these round stones for decades and hadn’t found any clues precisely because he hadn’t come to the starry sky.

This was really a coincidence. Yang Kai thought dark (secretly) and couldn’t help but pay close attention wanting to know what kind of changes these round stones would have in the end.

Time passed, and no one knew how long it had been. Yang Kai slowly gave up.

Because these two black round stones had hardly changed from beginning to end. They had been continuously absorbing the starry sky power, and the dense light was still now bright, now dark, but there was was no subsequent progress.

Shaking his head, no longer wasting time paying attention to them, Yang Kai stood up, casually glanced around, found a direction, and once again embarked on the journey in the starry sky.

During this period of time, sitting here to temper his physical body, he has consumed a lot of the starry sky power in the vicinity. If he doesn’t look for other places, he won’t be able to temper anymore.

Changing positions again and again, and the place he finds each time has more abundant energy than the previous one. Yang Kai’s physical body is also growing stronger and tougher at an extremely fast speed.

The wounds on his body have healed layer by layer and are covered by another layer. They are dense and extremely terrifying, but he enjoys it. Although the pain is unbearable, it is quite valuable.

Gradually, Yang Kai can no longer find a place suitable for his cultivation. The spaces that could have killed him in the past, now he can walk in them as if strolling in a leisurely manner and will not be harmed at all.

Although he believes that in the deeper starry sky, there must be a more violent energy space, but if he goes deeper, Yang Kai is a little worried that he will not be able to find his way back.
