Chapter 1286

The moment the three defensive secret treasures that Yang Yan had created specifically for herself were destroyed, Yang Yan couldn’t help but let out a scream.

Just at this moment, a big hand was placed on her shoulder and dragged her backward. At the same time, Yang Kai’s figure had blocked in front of her. Yang Kai’s expression was more solemn than ever. With a wave of his hands, two black fireballs had already rushed towards that fire dragon.

The demonic flame was born from the heart and transformed into an extremely cold and extremely yin existence. Even so, the moment it came into contact with the fire dragon, it was also annihilated, as if it had been completely burned out.

Yang Kai’s expression changed, and as his figure rapidly retreated, a soft chirping sound came from within his body. The next moment, the weapon spirit fluttered out, spreading its wings and transforming into a fiery red bird over ten zhang long. It opened its mouth and spat out a ball of fiery red light, but still couldn’t stop the advance of the fire dragon. With just a slight touch, it was scattered into pieces by the impact of the fire dragon and didn’t play any role.

That fire dragon was like an unreasonable brute. No matter how Yang Kai resisted on this side, it could easily tear apart those defenses.

Human-like expressions flickered in the eyes of the fire bird weapon spirit, and there was actually a sense of fear. Then, a violent color emerged in its eyes, and its body spun around, shrinking its size a lot. Then, with a flash of its wings, it turned into a ray of fire and rushed into the body of the fire dragon.

The sound of the dragon’s roar and the chirping of the weapon spirit resounded in this secret cave for a while, very lively.

When the weapon spirit rushed its entire body into the fire dragon, it finally managed to slightly block its advancing speed, but only for a moment. With a mournful cry, the weapon spirit suddenly rushed out from the body of the fire dragon, and then disappeared in a flash, vanishing into Yang Kai’s body.

Yang Kai’s expression changed drastically.

He had already refined the Void King-level Refining Furnace and its spirit completely, so naturally he could sense the current state of the spirit. This Void King-level Refining Furnace’s spirit, which was born after being burned by the Earth’s Core Fire Pool for tens of thousands of years, was actually in a severely injured state. How could he not be shocked？

The fire spiritual energy contained within the spirit itself had already reached the extreme of richness and purity. What exactly was that Fire Dragon born from that could cause the spirit to suffer such injuries in a confrontation of the same attribute？

However, although the spirit was injured, the Fire Dragon also seemed to be weakened by more than half. Not only was its color much dimmer, but its size also shrank a lot. But it still swayed its head and charged towards Yang Kai, as if it would never give up until it burned him and Yang Yan to ashes.

Yang Kai’s expression instead calmed down. A mysterious power fluctuation escaped from his body. Immediately he extended two big hands and forcefully clenched them in the void, as if clasping two invisible portals, and then gritted his teeth. Suddenly tore them apart to the two sides.

A deep and bottomless spatial crack that seemed to devour all things leisurely appeared, and as Yang Kai’s hands tore, this spatial crack became much larger in the blink of an eye.

As soon as the spatial crack took shape, the Fire Dragon plunged right in.

The void trembled, the space distorted, and the torn space crack became extremely unstable, as if it would collapse at any time. Yang Kai let out a low shout, and the spatial power he had comprehended surged out of his body, forcefully stabilizing the continuous existence of that space crack and preventing it from being immediately destroyed.

Three breaths later, the fire dragon disappeared into the space crack with a wag of its tail. At the same time, this crack suddenly split into countless fissures like a mirror and shattered.

Standing in place, Yang Kai panted heavily, and Yang Yan, who he had dragged behind him, also had a look of lingering fear on her face.

However, after this disaster, Yang Yan seemed to have thought of something. Staring at that strange stone, her beautiful eyes trembled violently, and she covered her small mouth with her hand, murmuring in a low voice： “Solar True Essence？”

Yang Kai’s face twitched. As if he had heard something incredible, countless fine lights burst out in his eyes.

And strangely enough, since that fire dragon was swallowed by the space crack, this thing that Yang Yan called Solar True Essence actually became plain and unremarkable again. From it, Yang Kai couldn’t feel any scorching power. It was just like a stone that could be seen everywhere on the roadside, and no one would take notice of it wherever it was thrown.

But there was simply no time to consider these matters at the moment. Yang Kai and Yang Yan had sneaked into this place furtively. Although they were being followed by two Corpse Soldiers, those two Corpse Soldiers had shown no intention of taking action to stop them before.

But now, with such a huge ruckus being raised, I’m afraid a lot of the Corpse Soldiers that were originally sleeping have been alerted.

Releasing his Spiritual Awareness, Yang Kai’s expression sank. As he had expected, most of the Corpse Soldiers that had been sleeping deep within the various side tunnels and caves had actually awakened. One after another, strong or weak fluctuations of Corpse Qi were rapidly approaching this direction.

At the same time, a suppressed and dull roar came from the deeper underground. That roar was like the growl of a fierce beast, carrying a thick and malevolence. When Yang Kai heard it, his spirit was actually a little unstable for a moment and the violence deep within his heart actually showed some signs of being drawn out. Some bloodshot eyes appeared in his eyes.

And when those Corpse Soldiers that were rushing towards this place heard this roar, they actually seemed to have received some kind of order. All of them let out low growls from the depths of their throats, echoing it from afar. Each and every one of them was extremely excited, as if they had been given a stimulant, and the speed at which they were charging over became even faster.

In an instant, the entire underground was filled with a terrifying wailing and howling sound, making one’s scalp tingle.

And the corpse soldiers that had been sneaking around behind Yang Kai and Yang Yan actually all revealed their forms at this moment. Standing at the entrance of that secret cave, they glared at Yang Kai, baring their teeth, and the fangs at the corners of their mouths emitted a cold and eerie glow.

Seeing this, Yang Yan’s heart sank, and her face turned deathly pale without a trace of blood.

However, these two corpse soldiers didn’t seem to have the intention to make a move immediately. Instead, while staring at Yang Kai and Yang Yan, they were also secretly glancing at that piece of True Essence of the Sun, and their eyes were filled with a sense of dread.

The originally ordinary True Essence of the Sun actually surged out a strand of extremely terrifying fire spiritual energy inside the moment the two corpse soldiers appeared. However, there was no intention of it leaking out. It seemed that as long as the corpse soldiers didn’t approach, it wouldn’t unleash its power.

Seeing this, Yang Kai was overjoyed in his heart. He quickly stretched out a hand and grabbed towards that piece of True Essence of the Sun. A vast amount of Saint Yuan burst out from his body and wrapped the True Essence of the Sun in an instant. Just as Yang Kai was about to put the True Essence of the Sun into the Space Ring, Yang Yan hurriedly shouted in a low voice： “Don’t！”

Yang Kai was stunned for a moment and immediately knew that something was wrong. A strand of firelight flickered on the True Essence of the Sun, and it actually burned up all the spiritual sense and Saint Yuan that Yang Kai had attached to it in an instant. Yang Kai couldn’t help but take two steps back and looked at the True Essence of the Sun in horror.

He simply couldn’t put the True Essence of the Sun into the Space Ring.

Seeing this, the two corpse soldiers standing at the entrance and looking over here without scruples showed a ferocious grin. The female corpse soldier shouted, “Daring to break into the Corpse Cave and still dare to have ideas about the True Essence of the Sun. When the adults come, let’s see what you can do.”

The male corpse soldier also jeered, “These two guys seem to be going to become our companions too. Miss Lan be a little more polite. Maybe we will live in the same room in the future.”

The female corpse soldier snorted coldly, “Do we need to be polite to them? It will take at least a hundred years for them to open their spiritual wisdom and transform into corpse soldiers. And who knows if they can successfully transform? If not, they will only become the food in our stomachs.”

The male corpse soldier pondered for a moment and actually nodded, “That’s true. In that case, there’s really no need to be polite to them.”

These two guys were chatting here one sentence after another, but Yang Kai had no intention of paying attention to them at all. Since the other side didn’t dare to come in, he didn’t need to waste time to kill them all. Moreover, the previous action had already alarmed the corpse soldiers here. Listening to their conversation, it seemed that there were still corpse generals of a higher level coming here. Now the most important thing was to find a way to take away this True Essence of the Sun.

He couldn’t help but turn his gaze to Yang Yan, only to see that Yang Yan was also at a loss. His heart couldn’t help but sink.

Yang Yan naturally knew the way to transport the True Essence of the Sun, but those methods were extremely time-consuming and energy-consuming. It was obviously unrealistic to rely on the Space Ring to take it away. And while Yang Yan was thinking, the deep roar heard before seemed to be getting closer and closer. At the same time, a terrifying coercion descended from the sky, enveloping this secret cave.

“Void Return Third-Order！” Yang Kai felt the power of this coercion, and his face suddenly changed.

The situation here was actually very different from what he and Yang Yan had expected. Before, he and Yang Yan had estimated that even if there were Corpse Generals here, they had only cultivated for two thousand years. Judging from the difficulty of the cultivation of such creatures, they could only possess the cultivation base of Void Return Second-Order or even lower.

But now there was a Void Return Third-Order Corpse General, and it seemed to have reached the peak, just one step away from becoming a Corpse King. How could Yang Kai not be shocked？

After thinking about it, it was probably the existence of this Corpse Cave that had accelerated the cultivation speed of that Corpse General.

Yang Kai self-assessed that even if he used all his means, he could not be the opponent of such a powerful person, and he also had to protect Yang Yan.

Could he only leave like this？ Yang Kai looked at the True Essence of the Sun with a face full of unwillingness！

This was one of the most valuable treasures he had ever seen. For him, it was even more important than the Nine-Twist Crystal Jade Tree, second only to the Seven-Colored Warmth God Lotus.

Because he still had a lot of Profound Yin Sunflower Water. If he could obtain the True Essence of the Sun and use the firepower inside it to assist in refining the Profound Yin Sunflower Water, the benefits he would gain would be incalculable.

After refining the Profound Yin Sunflower Water in the Earth’s Core Fire Pool last time, he discovered that doing so could not only enhance the strength of his physical body but also increase the power of his demonic flames and add some cultivation level improvements.

He could only place his hopes on Yang Yan. If even Yang Yan couldn’t come up with a solution, then he could only temporarily retreat.

He believed that even if those Corpse Generals had extraordinary strength, they still wouldn’t have any way to deal with this True Essence of the Sun. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been left unused for so many years.
