At that moment, outside the barrier, two demonic beasts stood facing each other. The atmosphere was as tense as a bowstring about to snap, and the air was filled with danger, ready to explode at any moment. Both sides stared at each other warily, as if facing a formidable enemy, neither willing to be the first to break the deadly silence.
Finally, the demon wolf broke the silence. Its dark green eyes gleamed with cunning, like will-o'-the-wisp in the dark night. It slowly spoke, "If we continue to fight to the death, both of us will suffer losses, and in the end, the other demon beasts will benefit. This is not worth it."
"Hmph! Don't even think about me giving up the sacred object!" The Earth Brown Bear's eyes widened in anger, his murderous intent radiating from him. The spiritual energy surging through him surged like a raging wave, roaring and surging. His overwhelming aura made the air around him vibrate with a humming sound, as if he were about to launch a devastating attack in the next second.
The demonic wolf grinned, its fangs gleaming like cold blades. "Look, here are two sacred objects. How about this: the woman and the jade pendant will be mine, and the man and the holy sword will be yours. How's that for you?"
Upon hearing this, the Earth Brown Bear felt fooled. His rage flared up, and he roared like a volcano: "Do you think I'm stupid? That holy sword is incomplete. You're clearly plotting against me!"
Anxiety flashed in the demon wolf's eyes, and he hastily proposed again: "When I leave Saturn, the position of Beast Master will be yours. I know you've coveted this position for a long time. Isn't this an attractive offer?"
The Earth Brown Bear wavered, the murderous intent in his eyes fading slightly. He narrowed his eyes, weighing the pros and cons like a shrewd businessman.
By this time, Yu Kai had regained some strength. He gently set Murong Shuang down and gestured for the Yueling Holy Sword to stand guard. The holy sword, as if in tune with human nature, trembled slightly, emitting a crisp chime, as if responding to his instructions. Then, a cool, clear glow emanated, like a soft curtain of light, firmly protecting Murong Shuang. Yu Kai stood up, a flash of inspiration forming in his mind, and a plan instantly emerged.
He clearly remembered crashing into Saturn during the day, and waking up several hours later. By then, he and the Moon Spirit Sacred Sword had exhausted their spiritual power, landing here like lambs to the slaughter. Yet, in this land rife with demonic beasts, he had miraculously remained unharmed.
Yu Kai pondered, perhaps this was related to his ability to mobilize the power of Saturn. After all, he had earned the approval of the Lord of Saturn, making him, in a sense, Saturn's heir. A glimmer of hope ignited within him, perhaps he could use this status to deter the two restless monsters before him. Otherwise, if they joined forces, he and Sister Shuang would be in danger.
Yu Kai's face suddenly turned grim, like frost on a cold night. He glared at the demonic beasts outside the barrier and roared like thunder, "You two ignorant beast slaves, how dare you covet the treasure bestowed by my master! How audacious!" Without hesitation, he drew the mighty power of the stars into his body, simultaneously mobilizing the nearly perfected Law of Earth with all his might. In an instant, the earth shook violently, as if stirred by an invisible giant, and cracks spread rapidly like spider webs.
This sudden change drew the two beasts' gazes towards Yu Kai like arrows. A thoughtful glint flashed in the demon wolf's eyes, while the earth brown bear roared loudly, "You can actually mobilize the power of the stars?"
"Hmph!" Yu Kai snorted coldly, his expression arrogant and majestic: "I am the Young Master of Saturn, why don't you kneel down and bow down!"
"Young Master? What Young Master?" The demon wolf bared its fangs fiercely and said viciously, "The Star Lord left long ago, and I've never heard of any Young Master! Don't try to deceive me here!"
"Yes, this human boy actually dared to call us beast slaves. He is so arrogant. Kill him!" The Earth Brown Bear roared angrily, and the hair on his body stood up like steel needles. The spiritual power in his body surged, and he wanted to tear Yu Kai to pieces in an instant.
"It seems that you are tired of living and don't even take the young master seriously! I have to ask the master to punish you severely so that you can know how powerful I am!" Yu Kai's face was cold, and his words were chilling, as if they could freeze the air around him.
"You ignorant brat, you dare to deceive me with such clever words!" The demon wolf, enraged, removed its barrier and advanced menacingly upon Yu Kai, its footsteps causing the ground to tremble slightly. The earth bears, like a moving mountain, followed closely behind, their bodies brimming with murderous intent, as if they were determined to crush Yu Kai to dust.
Yu Kai watched them charging at him with such force, yet he remained calm. He suddenly raised his foot and stomped it hard. "Boom!" A resounding roar shook the heavens, and a massive crack spread out like a dragon. The Law of Earth, so dense it was practically tangible, surged from the crack like a flood, sweeping in all directions. Wherever it passed, trees snapped and rocks crumbled.
The two beasts' expressions suddenly changed, and they moved like ghosts, quickly dodging the ever-growing cracks. At this moment, a mysterious force erupted from the center of the earth, forming a core shield that repelled them outward.
Yu Kai, his expression calm, extended his hand downwards. Water, imbued with the powerful Law of Earth, shot forth like a serpent, a strange glow. He quickly shed his armor and opened his mouth to absorb the water. This series of movements, seamless and smooth, left the two beasts stunned, their hearts filled with shock and confusion.
"You...how on earth did you do it?" The Earth Brown Bear widened his eyes, showing shock and anxiety, and drooling over the Water of Law.
"My master's mark is in the star core below. If you don't believe that I am the young master of Saturn, you can go down and ask for clarification!" After Yu Kai finished speaking, he drew out an even more powerful star power, which tightly wrapped him like a dazzling light curtain, emitting a terrifying pressure, and even distorted the surrounding space.
"You...are you really the Young Master of Saturn?" Although the Earth Brown Bear still had doubts in his heart, his tone had softened a bit, and fear gradually grew.
"Hmph, these two treasures were left by Master when he killed the Taoist Ancestor of the Moon Spirit Holy Land. Master gave them to me when I entered Saturn this time. How dare you be greedy and hurt me. Today, Master must completely wipe you out to restore the power of Heaven!" Yu Kai's face was full of pride and majesty, like a master who controls life and death.
"Young master, please forgive me! I won't dare to do it again. Please don't disturb the Star Lord's mark." The Earth Brown Bear was so scared that his face turned pale. He knelt on the ground with a plop and kowtowed like pounding garlic. The sound of his forehead hitting the ground echoed in the silent space.
"It seems someone's still not honest! Master must intervene!" Yu Kai sighed, feigning regret as he hurried toward the crack. Miraculously, the crack, as if controlled by some mysterious force, quickly condensed into a long ladder emitting an earthy yellow light, leading deep underground.
The demonic wolves were horrified at the sight, kowtowed repeatedly, their foreheads banging against the ground. Having lived on Saturn for years, they were always cautious, rarely leaving the area, fearing being captured and used as mounts by the great powers of the prehistoric world. Had they not been startled by the overwhelming pressure yesterday, they would never have ventured out. Now, they saw that Yu Kai must have a profound connection with the Star Lord; otherwise, how could he have been accepted into the Heart Core barrier and could so freely mobilize the power of the stars? Their fear intensified.
