Chapter 785

In the Saint Mausoleum, after several days of meditation and absorption, Yang Kai had completely assimilated the remaining essence within the souls of the successive Holy Masters of the Nine Heavens Holy Land.

The harvest was unimaginably huge！

Although his cultivation realm hadn’t changed, because all of that essence was the insights of Third-Order Saint Realm experts, Yang Kai instantly had a clear understanding of his future path.

As long as his physical strength could keep up, he could advance unhindered on this path. It could be said that before reaching the Third-Order Saint Realm, every breakthrough he made wouldn’t encounter any bottlenecks.

This kind of good fortune was something that almost every martial artist dreamed of.

The reason why realms were so difficult to break through was because whenever one reached a certain critical point, they would encounter bottlenecks and restrictions of varying degrees of difficulty. Without glimpsing the mysteries within, it was impossible to achieve a breakthrough.

Throughout the world, countless martial artists spent their entire lives stuck at their own bottlenecks, unable to advance even an inch for a lifetime. Among them, there were even many exceptionally talented geniuses. Perhaps when they were young, they shone with a unique brilliance, astonishing and praising the world, but once they reached their own limits, they would come to a standstill.

If those with good fortune were lucky enough to break through their bottlenecks, their strength would skyrocket.

Therefore, bottlenecks were something that every martial artist talked about with fear. No matter who it was, they would encounter more or less bottlenecks on their path of growth.

Yang Kai had also encountered it. Every time, he had to experience all kinds of dangers and see through the confusion between life and death.

And from now on, he didn’t have to worry about this problem anymore. Before reaching the Third-Order Saint Realm, his cultivation path would be very smooth.

Taking a gentle breath, Yang Kai stood up. Suddenly, he felt that the whole world seemed to have become a little different. Standing in it, there was a wonderful feeling of being in control.

Beside the coffin, there were some hidden energy fluctuations. Yang Kai carefully sensed it for a while. After a moment, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

With a thought of his divine sense, a streamer suddenly shot out from the coffin and flew straight towards Yang Kai.

Yang Kai spread out a hand, and the streamer steadily landed on his palm. Looking closely, it was actually a silver leaf.

The veins on the leaf were distinct and lifelike, as if it had just been picked from a tree. But this seemingly simple leaf emitted astonishing energy fluctuations！

Saint-Grade High-Quality Secret Treasure！

As Xu Hui and the others had said, the top secret treasure owned by the previous generation of Saint Lord. At this level, there were not many in the entire continent.

There was also the brand of the previous generation’s Saint Lord’s Divine Soul on this silver leaf. However, Yang Kai had used the World Extinguishing Demon Eye to purify and absorb the Divine Souls of all the previous generations’ Saint Lords here. Naturally, he could control the brand of the previous generation’s Saint Lord’s Divine Soul. Not only the previous generation, but he could also control the brand of all the Saint Lords’ Divine Souls.

In other words, if there were any remaining Secret Treasures in those coffins, he could easily obtain them without having to worry about being injured by the power of these Secret Treasures.

Yang Kai had never seen a Secret Treasure of this kind before. However, there were a wide variety of Secret Treasures with different shapes. This silver leaf should have unique power. Without refining it, Yang Kai didn’t know much about it. So, he temporarily put it into the Black Book Space.

Avoiding all kinds of dangerous restrictions in the Saint Tomb, Yang Kai walked towards the second coffin with great interest.

He wanted to clean this place out completely！

Searching one coffin after another, he almost gained something from each coffin. These previous generations of old Saint Lords were all the top powerhouses, and the Secret Treasures they used naturally wouldn’t be bad.

They were all of the Saint Level. Most of them were Intermediate Saint Level, and a small number were Lower Saint Level. The only Upper Saint Level one was that silver leaf, which showed the rarity of Secret Treasures of this level.

Although these Secret Treasures were not ordinary, Yang Kai didn’t really like them. Those Secret Treasures like knives, guns, clubs, and halberds didn’t suit his hand. Once he encountered a life-and-death battle, it would be better to fight bare-handed.

The only thing that caught his attention was a deep red armor. Halos circulated on the armor, making it look extremely beautiful. It was light in his hand and could definitely withstand the fierce attacks of Saint Realm experts without being damaged.

This was a female armor, obtained from the skeleton of a woman in a coffin.

That coffin was different from the others. There were two skeletons lying inside. One of them was the Lord of the Holy Land, and the other should have been the Holy Maiden at that time. The two were tightly snuggled together, sharing life and death, which made Yang Kai feel a bit sentimental and emotional.

This armor would be good to give away. Whether it was given to Su Yan or Xia Ning Shang , it could provide powerful defense.

Thinking like this, he casually put away the armor.

A moment later, Yang Kai stopped in front of the last coffin. What made him feel a little strange was that there seemed to be no trace of a secret treasure in this coffin, and different from the other coffins, this coffin was tightly closed, with the light of numerous restrictions circulating on it. After countless years, these restrictions also showed some signs of loosening.

For some unknown reason, as soon as Yang Kai came here, the blood in his body surged a little faster, and his heart also beat more powerfully, as if there was something in the coffin that was attracting his blood.

Frowning and sensing for a long time, Yang Kai finally shook his head slowly. Because of those restrictions, he couldn’t sense the mystery inside at all.

However, this is the only coffin here that is closed. Obviously, this Saint Lord didn’t want others to open it and explore the secrets hidden inside.

If there was no such strange feeling, Yang Kai wouldn’t have bothered to look for trouble, but now he cares a lot about this coffin.

Once the thought came up, he couldn’t suppress it no matter what.

After thinking for a while, Yang Kai’s expression became firm. He raised his hand and slapped the coffin, and true essence spurted out.

Logically speaking, the restriction set by a Third-Order Saint Realm powerhouse couldn’t be broken by Yang Kai, but this Saint Lord had been dead for who knows how many years, and that restriction simply didn’t have the power it had at its peak.

Yang Kai only spent less than half an hour to completely destroy those restrictions.

The light dimmed, and the restrictions flowing on the coffin lost their effect. Yang Kai took a deep breath and reached out to lift the top cover.

A skeleton that had already rotted beyond recognition suddenly came into Yang Kai’s view. After seeing the appearance of the skeleton clearly, Yang Kai couldn’t help but be slightly moved.

There were many fractures and damages on the bones of that skeleton. Almost 80% of the bones in the whole body were broken.

Yang Kai felt deeply shocked!

Every Holy Master lying here has the top cultivation base of the Third-Order Saint Realm. This one is obviously no exception. When the strength reaches this level, whether it is the strength of the physical body or the toughness of the bones, it will become extremely powerful, and few attacks can break them.

But the scene in front of him shows that this Holy Master fought a desperate battle with a powerful enemy before his death. Regardless of winning or losing, he must have been severely beaten. The reason why he died must be related to these injuries！

What kind of person can beat a Third-Order Saint Realm powerhouse to death？

In a trance, Yang Kai’s gaze was attracted by a pitch-black bottle placed on the chest of this skeleton.

Before his death, this Holy Master clasped his hands together and held this pitch-black bottle in front of his chest. A restriction was also placed on the bottle, as if protecting the things inside it.

An extremely terrifying evil energy was emitted from the bottle, and Yang Kai suddenly had the illusion that his body and mind were suffering greatly.

Click…

A crisp sound came. It seems that because Yang Kai broke the barrier of the coffin, the things in the bottle are not very stable. At this moment, they are violently impacting, trying to rush out of the bottle mouth.

The pitch-black bottle simply couldn’t withstand such an impact. In just an instant, countless cracks appeared on it, and the light of the restriction on the mouth of the bottle flickered on and off, extremely strangely.

Yang Kai looked at it indifferently and had no intention of stopping it. He always felt that the thing in this bottle might have some connection with himself.

In the dark, he sensed some clues.

Crack…

Accompanied by the crisp sound, the pitch-black bottle suddenly turned into pieces, and a golden light burst out, emitting the most dazzling brilliance, making the entire Holy Mausoleum brightly lit.

The various restrictions spread in the Holy Mausoleum were illuminated by this golden light and collapsed one after another losing their effectiveness.

The soaring fierce and evil aura, centered on that golden light, suddenly swept towards the surroundings. All the coffins were swept away and burst open in mid-air, and the skeletons of those Holy Lords also turned into powder in an instant.

Yang Kai stared intently at that golden light, his expression changing, and he couldn’t help but exclaim in a low voice： “Demon God’s Golden Blood？”

There was a strong emanating from the golden light. It was definitely blood without a doubt and it was as dazzling as melted gold, filled with the evil energy that made Yang Kai tremble with fear. Moreover, it was tightly held in the hands of a Holy Lord of the Nine Heavens Holy Land. Besides the Demon God’s Golden Blood, Yang Kai couldn’t think of any other possibility!

Why is this drop of Demon God’s Golden Blood here？ What is the relationship between the legendary Great Demon God and that Saint Lord？

His mind racing, before Yang Kai could figure it out, the Demon God’s Golden Blood floating in front of him, as if it had found its target, suddenly disappeared in place, and with a golden afterimage, directly rushed towards Yang Kai’s brow and disappeared between his eyebrows.

In the next instant, Yang Kai’s face contorted.

He felt that all the blood in his body was boiling and roaring. The golden blood in his own blood seemed to be activated and all exploded. The terrifying power generated by the explosion circulated in his meridians and flesh. In just a moment, Yang Kai was covered in bruises, his five internal organs were burning, and the pain was unbearable.

The dazzling golden light enveloped Yang Kai. Yang Kai couldn’t help but roar towards the sky, deafening. The wind and clouds changed in the sky of the Small Mysterious Realm, and thick blood qi rose, making the entire Small Mysterious Realm present a strange space where gold and blood red intertwined.

The Proud Bone Golden Body wriggled, making a cracking sound. The demonic energy stored in the golden body uncontrollably surged out, turning into one pattern after another covering Yang Kai’s skin and disappearing into his flesh.

The golden and red Small Mysterious Realm was suddenly covered in pitch black, and not a trace of light could be seen.

In this darkness, Yang Kai gritted his teeth and persisted, his whole body trembling, his skin cracking inch by inch, and the crimson blood flowing out from it, wetting the ground.

But in the front of his eyes, it was as if a picture was slowly unfolding, and in the picture an earth-shattering battle was taking place.
