"Ding, ding, dang!" The dense sound of metal clashing continued, and streams of light came like a torrential rain, with swift momentum yet weak power. This wave of attacks was completely blocked. Without a second thought, the Devouring Beast and Yu Kai rushed forward with lightning speed.
But the scene before them made their hearts tighten. Ye Xiaoyan, who had been collapsed on the ground, was suddenly swept up by a sudden force of nothingness and disappeared without a trace in an instant, as if she had never existed in this world.
The Formation Devourer was instantly enraged, and without hesitation, it gave chase. However, Ye Xiaoyan seemed to have merged into the void, leaving no trace. In its fury, the Formation Devourer lashed out with its long tail, lashing out at the void like a black pillar, attempting to shake out the mysterious figure hiding in the shadows. The void cracked like a shattered mirror, but there was still no sign of Ye Xiaoyan.
"Damn it, what the hell is this thing? My spiritual power is so strong, but I didn't notice anything unusual in advance." The Formation-Devouring Beast was furious, with an angry light flashing in its single eye.
"Senior, didn't realize it in advance?" Yu Kai had just used the power of cause and effect to deduce, but he still had no clue. He couldn't help but frown, and a deep doubt arose in his heart.
"I don't know, there's no movement at all. It's truly bizarre beyond imagination!" The Formation Devourer's face was filled with disbelief. In its long history, it had rarely encountered such a mysterious power, which filled it with vigilance.
"Where is Ye Xiaoyan? Who took her away?" Li Hualing ran over hurriedly and asked anxiously, his eyes revealing his concern for Ye Xiaoyan.
"I don't know! The other party's movement is so strange that it's almost impossible to detect!" Yu Kai looked at Li Hualing and answered politely with a hint of helplessness in his tone.
"The figure is so strange, it looks like a human..." Shen Xingze frowned slightly, touched his chin while thinking, and slowly walked over.
"Who?" Yu Kai and the Formation-Devouring Beast blurted out at the same time. When the others heard it, they also cast inquiring glances at him.
"As far as I know, an evil demon has emerged from the prehistoric immortal realm. He devours the laws of others to enhance his own cultivation. Countless powerful individuals have perished at his hands. His style, like just now, is as elusive as it appears and disappears, making him incredibly difficult to guard against. This person is known as the Devouring Demon!" Shen Xingze said in a grave tone. "Anyone whose laws he targets dies a horrific death, their vital energy drained away, ultimately turning them into a dried corpse!"
"Then isn't Xiaoyan in danger?" Li Hualing said anxiously and worriedly, his eyes full of worry.
"She deserves to die. Even if she hadn't been taken away, I would have swallowed her!" The Formation-Devouring Beast snorted with dissatisfaction, obviously having no good feelings towards Ye Xiaoyan.
Seeing this, Jiang Qingfeng and the others hurried forward to pull Li Hualing back, fearing that she might accidentally anger the formidable Devouring Emperor. They had all seen how Shen Xingze had received some "special treatment" from the Devouring Beast for simply saying something wrong.
"Butler, you stay in Uranus and take control of the entire Uranus. Act in the name of my eldest brother. Any force must obey my orders. If you dare not, you will be killed without mercy!" Although Shen Xingze's face was still covered with bruises at this time, the murderous intent emanating from his body was as cold as a substance, which made everyone present tremble in their hearts.
"Yes, young master!" Shen Fu and others immediately bowed and saluted, their voices in unison and loud.
"Brother, what do you think? Uranus does not have a top-level powerful person in charge now, and sooner or later it will be coveted and controlled by other forces. Your current strength is still weak, and you must build your own power so that you can compete with the old-fashioned heavenly forces like Yang Jian in the future. Although Uranus is not a top-level planet, it is better than nothing, and we can slowly develop and grow stronger." Shen Xingze looked at Yu Kai and analyzed seriously.
Upon hearing this, Yu Kai turned his gaze towards the Formation Devourer. The Formation Devourer nodded and said, "That kid's idea is quite good. Fighting alone won't work after all!" Then he looked at Shen Xingze and Shen Fu and added, "Collect more rare spiritual herbs and demon pills. This will be of great help to both this emperor and Yu Kai's cultivation!"
"Of course that's no problem!" Shen Xingze agreed without hesitation, and Shen Fu also bowed and accepted the order.
"Senior, what about your Huanxing Sect?" Yu Kai looked at Li Hualing and asked.
"What is your relationship with Liu Ling?" Li Hualing looked at Yu Kai and said seriously.
"Senior, I think Miss Liu Ling is kind-hearted and outstanding in appearance. I like her from the bottom of my heart!" Yu Kai answered sincerely and seriously, his eyes full of admiration for Liu Ling.
"Then when do you plan to marry her?" Li Hualing looked at the shy Liu Ling, then turned his gaze back to Yu Kai and continued to ask.
"Senior, my mother is now wandering in the endless void, and her life or death is uncertain. I want to wait until I find her before marrying Miss Liu Ling!" Yu Kai said with a firm expression, with both concern for his mother and responsibility to Liu Ling in his heart.
"Do you have any objections?" Li Hualing looked at Liu Ling and asked gently.
Liu Ling blushed, nodded slightly, and said softly: "I agree!"
"Since my beloved disciple has decided to follow you, I will treat my Huanxing Sect as a dowry and give it to you. You must not let my Liu Ling down!" Li Hualing looked at Yu Kai and said solemnly.
"Thank you for your help, senior!" Yu Kai bowed respectfully, his gratitude evident in words.
"Okay, if you want to go to Neptune, then let's set off. We will accompany Manager Shen to take control of Uranus as soon as possible to avoid being targeted by other forces!" Li Hualing said to Yu Kai and Shen Xingze.
"Haha, great! With an established faction taking the lead and Big Brother's prestige adding to the mix, this will definitely be twice as effective with half the effort. Even if other factions covet Uranus, they have to consider Big Brother's status as the Holy Prince of Heaven!" Shen Xingze seemed particularly delighted, as if he had already seen a bright future. "Big Brother, let's go!" He then led Yu Kai aboard their warship.
After boarding the warship, countless radiant spirit stones were continuously poured into the teleportation array in front of the warship. As the huge amount of spirit stones was poured in, mysterious spatial runes illuminated one after another, and as the light flowed, the entire teleportation array slowly activated. A mysterious void portal slowly emerged, like a passage to an unknown world. Under the pilot's skillful control, the warship, like a brave beast, swiftly disappeared into the void. Yu Kai had seen warships from the Heavenly Court and the Dark Abyss Demon Alliance before, but in his eyes, those warships were far inferior to the advanced one before him.
