"No, no! You'll be fine. We've created the underworld. You won't die!" Yu Kai's voice was trembling uncontrollably, and he frantically probed Wu Xiaohu's soul. Sure enough, his soul was like a candle in the wind, nearly extinguished. The vital energy Yu Kai desperately injected was like sand thrown into the sea, completely ineffective.
"No, Brother Xiaohu, wake up! Wake up! Wake up!" Yu Kai wailed at the top of his lungs, his voice as shrill as a cuckoo weeping blood. His cries, filled with despair and pain, resounded through the heavens, yet seemed to be swallowed up mercilessly by the very world. He clutched Wu Xiaohu's gradually cooling body tightly, shaking him frantically, as if with just a little more force he could pull Wu Xiaohu back from the brink of death. Tears streamed like a bursting dam, blurring his vision. His throat grew hoarse from excessive shouting, but he continued to cry out, as if to vent all the pain and unwillingness in his heart through these cries.
"Boom!" With a resounding bang, Murong Shuang was flung forward by Yang Yifei's sharp halberd, crashing like a cannonball directly beside Yu Kai. A cloud of dust instantly rose, obscuring the sky and the sun. Her face was as pale as paper, her delicate body trembling uncontrollably. She held onto the Shadow Demon Blade and coughed up blood, each cough bringing out a speck of crimson.
"Boom! Boom!" With two deafening roars, the Golden Roaring Lord and the Spirit Steal Tyrant Beast plummeted like meteors, struck down by the powerful blows of Jun Yao and Xing Lan. Their massive bodies slammed into the ground, sending up billowing clouds of dust. The still-attacking Golden Platinum Evil Dragon and the Lejin Suanni were also wounded in quick succession, their bodies drenched in blood and covered in wounds. They ignored their injuries and stumbled towards Yu Kai.
Yu Kai looked at Yang Yifei, standing in the air with an arrogant expression. His eyes were red as fire, as if burning with endless hatred, and his body exuded a violent murderous intent that seemed to devour everything. He quickly wiped away his tears and, with a rough and decisive movement, carefully lowered Wu Xiaohu's body.
"Yu Kai, tell me the truth. How did you master the world power of Venus?" Yang Yifei asked coldly, completely ignoring Yu Kai's icy murderous intent that seemed to freeze him. His voice echoed across the chaotic battlefield, carrying an irresistible majesty, yet it pierced Yu Kai's heart like a sharp blade.
"You killed my only relative! You also shattered his soul, leaving him no chance to even enter the underworld!" Yu Kai stood up, tears streaming down his face as he spoke each word. His voice was as cold as the wind in an ice cave, and every word was filled with hatred that penetrated deep into his bones.
"You disrupted the order of the underworld, openly became enemies of Heaven, and killed our Heavenly Soldiers and Generals. You evolved mechas to imitate the evil demons from outside the domain, and openly colluded with the people of the Abyss Demon Alliance. Each of these is a capital crime!" Yang Yifei's voice was stern, and his words were full of majesty and coldness, but he didn't know that every word he said ignited a stronger rage in Yu Kai's heart.
"Even if I was wrong to save my sister, it was understandable! And you, the Heavenly Court, sent the Heavenly Army to encircle us and kill us directly. Can't we resist?" Yu Kai opened his eyes wide and asked loudly. The anger in his eyes seemed to burn Yang Yifei to ashes. It was an angry resistance to the unfair fate.
"You mortals have only one worthless life. You don't respect the laws of the earth and the rules of heaven, so you deserve to die!" Yang Yifei looked down at Yu Kai, his eyes full of contempt and disdain. That cold look completely ignited the fire of revenge in Yu Kai's heart.
"How dare you disrespect the laws of earth and heaven? If this is what you call the laws of heaven and earth, then today I will use my sword to defy the heavens, change the laws, and trample all of you, the high-handed gods who disregard human life, under my feet." Yu Kai's aura continued to rise, and the air around him seemed to ignite with his rage, crackling and exploding. His mecha shone brightly under the impact of his aura, and he was like a demon descended, radiating endless pressure and determination. It was his roar against the injustice of fate, his grief over the loss of his loved ones, transformed into a powerful force.
As his momentum continued to rise, the entirety of Venus began to tremble violently, as if echoing the raging fury within him. The mystical spiritual energy within him, driven by his immense rage, was unleashed upon him like a wild horse, and the invisible power of the stars quietly infused into his being. At this moment, his strength surged unstoppably into the early stages of the Saint King realm. The world power of Venus surged like a surging tide, madly mobilized by him, crushing Yang Yifei and his companions with overwhelming force. He grasped his sword, his steps firm, and he advanced one step at a time. With each step, the overwhelming world power intensified, like a mountain bearing down on them. Jun Yao, Xing Lan, and the others were completely suffocated by this overwhelming force, unable to resist. Only Yang Yifei, who had broken through to the Saint Emperor stage, could barely hold his ground and withstand it.
"I understand. You've mastered the power of Venus. You've become the Lord of Venus?" Yang Yifei finally realized what was going on. He asked in shock, "How did you do it? My grandfather has been here before, and he couldn't conquer the star core's mark. How did you leave it?"
"That's your grandfather's incompetence!" Yu Kai roared, his eyes blazing. He instantly reached Yang Yifei and, without hesitation, swung his sword, slashing with devastating force. "I'll make you pay for my brother, Xiaohu!" The flames of revenge burned within him.
"How dare you insult my grandfather? You are just a mere Saint King. Even if you can mobilize the world power of Venus and borrow the power of the stars to infuse your body, how strong can you be? Today, I will still kill you and take away your branding method!" Yang Yifei gritted his teeth, swung his halberd, and rushed forward.
"Ding! Ding!" The two sides collided fiercely in the sky, and the sound of metal clashing shook the world. The terrifying airflow raged like a raging storm, making Jun Yao and others unable to resist and retreating repeatedly. The remaining force instantly destroyed the surrounding mountains, and Venus trembled continuously, as if the end of the world was approaching. After several consecutive blows, Yang Yifei gradually became exhausted. He was beaten all over and fell out. With a "boom", he smashed a mountain into pieces, and smoke and dust billowed. He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his face as pale as paper, and his face was full of disbelief. He never thought that he would be defeated so miserably.
However, Yu Kai didn't give him a moment to breathe. He struck him again with his sword, the blade's radiance earth-shattering, dazzling and blinding, like an inverted galaxy, slicing directly down upon him. Seeing such a terrifying blow, Yang Yifei's soul was instantly shaken. He immediately unleashed his secret technique, his body radiating with light, instantly transforming into a stream of light, quickly dodging to the side. The longsword fell, like the collapse of heaven and earth, slashing a vast chasm in the ground, bottomless and stretching for a thousand miles.
Yang Yifei didn't dare to pause for a moment, his heart filled with fear and shock. He cared nothing more than to escape this terrifying place as quickly as possible. He frantically channeled his spiritual energy, his body swift as lightning, darting out of the atmosphere. Yu Kai was too strange, his strength unfathomable, completely beyond his imagination. Staying would only lead to death.
