Chapter 2878
byIt is impossible for Bao Qi and Sha Ya to intercept those dozen or so Demon Kings. This is something that everyone knows well, including the Demon Kings and Yang Kai.
Although they were the first Demon Kings to defect to Yang Kai, their defection was not out of their own will, and their so-called loyalty was also greatly discounted. Yang Kai never expected them to truly submit to him and obey his orders blindly. He only needed to be able to control the lives and deaths of these Demon Kings.
Facing many with few, the odds are against them. But if they violate Yang Kai’s order, they are afraid that they will die on the spot immediately.
So Bao Qi and Sha Ya only hesitated for a moment before intercepting those Demon Kings.
Fortunately, these Demon Kings also seemed to be extremely afraid of Yang Kai’s strength and intended to let him pass through here. They did not immediately kill Bao Qi and Sha Ya, but chased and fought with them, delaying time.
This made Bao Qi and Sha Ya overjoyed, and they all displayed their strongest strength, charging left and right under the siege of many Demon Kings.
The 100,000 Witch Ox Tribe rumbled on.
This was an extremely arduous advance. The further they went, the greater the resistance they encountered. Although the Demon Kings they met didn’t dare to get too close, they closely trailed behind from a distance, constantly using their means to harass the steps of the Wu Niu Tribe.
Youdaoplaceholder0, tribesmen were falling behind, like snowflakes falling on the ground and then quickly melting away.
Even with the protection of Demon Kings like Mo Ke Tuo and Fei Li in the team, this situation couldn’t be changed.
Looking into the distance at the location of the Boundary Road, which was still very far away, Yang Kai raised his hand and sacrificed the Slave Insect Bracelet, releasing the Soul Eater Insects that resided within. The Soul Eater Insects had grown a lot during these two years of war. Many times, the Wu Niu Tribe achieved glorious victories relying on these strange insects and strange beasts.
The Soul Eater Insects didn’t have much effect on existences above the level of Demon Kings, but they were immediate in dealing with the Demons below the level of Demon Kings.
Large swathes of insect clouds flew out, making a series of buzzing sounds. Wherever the insect clouds passed, the Demons wailed and fell to the ground and died. The Soul Eater Insects could almost devour everything. Demonic Qi and Divine Souls were all their rations.
The seemingly weak insects had extremely tenacious vitality. Even if they were struck by the sharpest weapons, only a white mark would be left.
Once the insect clouds came out, the Demons around retreated, greatly reducing the losses of the Wu Niu Tribe.
The sound like muffled thunder continued to come from the sky. That was the sages fighting a life-and-death battle. The sky changed color and the wind and clouds were strange. The actions of the sages had changed the laws within a radius of ten thousand miles.
The Wu Niu Tribe continued to advance, and almost every step forward had to pay a heavy price.
The number of people gradually decreased from one hundred thousand to ninety thousand, eighty thousand, fifty thousand…
An hour later, when the Wu Niu Tribe rushed to directly below the Realm Passage, Yang Kai turned his head and looked back. The clansmen who followed him here were left with less than thirty thousand only.
This was already the hinterland of the Demon Race army, and not a single friendly army could be seen anymore. The Wu Niu Tribe was truly in a situation of fighting alone.
Only two of the ten Demon Kings, Mo Keduo and Fei Li, were left. The remaining eight had been sent out by Yang Kai on the way. In Yang Kai’s perception, half of the eight Demon Kings had died, and the situation of the remaining half was not very good either.
“Defend！” Yang Kai raised his sword and shouted loudly.
Thirty thousand clansmen immediately formed a formation. With the place where Yang Kai was as the center, they formed a circle and were on high alert.
The insect cloud gathered on the outermost periphery of the formation. These strange insects had shown terrifying lethality before, so they had great deterrence to the Demon Race.
The number of people in the Wu Niu Tribe decreased, but the formation became more compact and the defense was more effective.
Yang Kai flipped his hand and took out the multicolored mud. Looking up at the sky, directly above him was the location of the World Channel. The opening in the sky had persisted for several years without healing. Yang Kai could even sense the surging and churning demonic energy from it. It was an extremely cold and violent aura that made people feel extremely uncomfortable.
“I hope it works！” he muttered softly, and then threw the multicolored mud on the ground and stared at it intently.
His action undoubtedly attracted the attention of the Demon Kings around. Although they didn’t know what he was doing exactly, the Demon Kings still instinctively sensed unease. The Wu Niu Tribe had a clear goal and rushed all the way to the bottom of the World Channel, obviously wanting to make a fuss about the World Channel.
How could the Demon Kings just sit back and watch？
After a series of commands were issued, the demons surrounding the Wu Niu Tribe finally launched an attack.
The insect cloud surged and swallowed large swathes of demons, but still couldn’t stop the iron torrent of war.
The 30,000 Wu Niu Tribe members hold their positions. The Wu Warriors chanted spells and re-blessed all the tribesmen with Buff witchcraft.
The bloody battle started in an instant.
Mo Ke Tuo’s figure suddenly disappeared. Except for Yang Kai who could sense her position, no matter how powerful the Demon King was, they couldn’t capture her trace. She vanished in the demon camp and every time she struck, someone would lose their life at her hands.
She is the most powerful assassin of the Demon Race, a Demon King-level assassin. Besides those who are on an equal footing with her, no one can survive her assassination.
One by one, the Demon Kings who were sitting in command outside died under Moketu’s assassination, and the Demon Race’s camp was in a turmoil.
Fili also took action. The Nether Ghost Fire waved by the skeleton’s hands was something that even the Demon Kings did not dare to touch easily. Youdaoplaceholder0 the Ghost Fire passed, horsemen of demons were burned to ashes.
Yang Kai’s gaze was firmly fixed on that ball of colorful mud. Suddenly, he turned his head and shouted at Die, “Why isn’t it working？ Does it have to be buried underground？”
Die said this was the key to victory and an opportunity to block the Realm Channel, but Yang Kai found that the colorful mud had no reaction at all.
Die looked at him and said lightly, “It will be useful.”
“When？” Yang Kai asked eagerly.
The 100,000 Wu Niu Tribe, led by him, rushed into the hinterland of the Demon Race army. It was only after suffering 70% casualties that they finally arrived here. If this colorful mud was just a hoax or just a means for the Wu Saints to attract the Demon Race, then the price paid would be too great.
Not getting a response from Die, Yang Kai suppressed the anger in his heart. With a raise of his hand, several Moon Blades flew out and instantly plowed an empty area in the Demon Race army.
He withdrew his attention from the colorful mud. Regardless of whether it could really block the boundary passage, at the moment, he just wanted to kill to his heart’s content.
He was the leader of the Wu Niu Tribe, and his target was not those ordinary soldiers so he turned his gaze to the Demon Kings hidden all around.
Yang Kai’s figure began to flicker on the battlefield. Wherever the Million Swords were waved, the demons were thrown into chaos. All the Demon Kings he targeted died under the sword, and none could escape.
He was like the God of Death, and the Million Swords were his sharp weapon for reaping souls.
The deaths of the Demon Kings made the camp even more chaotic and the pressure on the Wu Niu Tribe was sharply reduced. The defense circle even had a tendency to expand for a while, but this was just an appearance.
Youdaoplaceholder0 demons surrounded from all directions. The 30,000 Wu Niu Tribe simply could not win in this environment. Even if Yang Kai was invincible, in the end, all 30,000 people would be killed without a single one left.
Just then, suddenly a strange sound came out, as if a heart that had awakened from ancient times had beaten violently once. The sound directly penetrated people’s hearts, and unexpectedly made all those who heard this sound involuntarily feel chest tightness and surging blood and qi.
Countless pairs of eyes looked towards the place where the sound came from.
Yang Kai also took a look and quickly revealed a surprised expression.
Because the colorful mud he had thrown on the ground finally had a reaction. The colorful light bloomed, and there was a surging vitality faintly contained within it.
This strange scene made the clansmen of both races feel extremely surprised.
The colorful brilliance slowly dissipated, replaced by a peng of green soft light.
A small tender bud suddenly grew out from the ground, so green that it seemed as if it would break with a touch. Yang Kai flashed to the side of this green bud and increasingly felt that thissmell was somewhat familiar.
“It’s useful now.” Die said softly, her eyes fixed on that green bud, filled with complex look.
“Just rely on it?” Yang Kai gave a skeptical look.
Such a small green bud, what role could it play? And how could it block the way that was lying across the sky?
Before the words fell, the green bud suddenly grew rapidly. In the blink of an eye, a small tree appeared in Yang Kai’s field of vision.
This wasn’t over yet. The growth rate of the small tree was astonishing. In another breath, it had grown into a small tree one zhang tall. The tree crown was loose, the branches and leaves were thick. and the growth rate was getting faster and faster, with no sign of stopping at all.
Click click click…
The ground began to one crack after another. That was the root system going underground. Yang Kai couldn’t help but step back, getting further and further away, and his gaze was also looking higher and higher.
One zhang, three zhang, ten zhang, twenty zhang, fifty zhang…
In just less than the time it takes to burn an incense stick, that patch of green shoots turned into a towering tree that reached the clouds and connected the sky and the earth. The lush green color formed a sharp contrast with the pitch-black demonic energy all around.
The greenish fluorescence emitted from this big tree, forming a strong and powerful protection that enveloped the surviving people of the Wu Niu Tribe, shielding them from the wind, clouds, and thunder.
Large swathes of demonic energy were actually purified by this greenish fluorescence and dissipated between the sky.
The demons were dumbfounded, their minds in a daze.
“Senior Qing！” Yang Kai couldn’t help but exclaim in a low voice.
He finally understood that the big tree in front of him didn’t grow out of thin air. There was simply no such miraculous tree in the world.
It was the Evergreen Divine Tree！ The patron saint of the Frost Snow Tribe.
At the very beginning, Yang Kai always felt that the vitality wrapped in the colorful mud was somewhat familiar, but he didn’t dare to associate it with Qing because there were still some differences between the two.
But when this fifty-zhang-tall big tree appeared in front of his eyes, Yang Kai instantly recognized it.
Qing was the means by which the barbarians blocked the boundary passage on this side.
Qing didn’t stop growing but continued to get taller and bigger, and the green protective circle formed became more and more magnificent. Judging from the situation, it seemed that it was going to grow straight to the front of the boundary passage and block the boundary passage with its tall and sturdy body.
