Staring intently at the countless creatures that had transformed into strange beings and were locked in pairwise combat, Yang Kai's pupils slowly contracted to pinpricks.
He suddenly understood what the yellow and blue colors represented.
Solar Scorching Radiance and Lunar Phantom Glow!
Legend held that in the most ancient era, when heaven and earth first opened, the very first ray of light was born. That light split in two, becoming yin and yang, and over the vast stretch of ages, the yang aspect became Solar Scorching Radiance while the yin aspect became Lunar Phantom Glow.
They were the common ancestor of all Sacred Spirits and the origin of all living beings.
Solar Scorching Radiance and Lunar Phantom Glow had once shared countless ties with the Sacred Spirit Ancestral Land. In fact, for a very long time, both had resided within that land.
Then one day, the two powerful beings departed. No one knew what had happened between them, but their struggle began from that point on.
That battle had continued for innumerable years and still had not ceased. Because of their fighting, untold numbers of great domains across the vast cosmos had been destroyed.
The proprietress had once said that wherever Solar Scorching Radiance and Lunar Phantom Glow passed, all life was extinguished and not a single blade of grass could grow. It was a true Domain of Chaotic Death—a place that even Peak Open Heaven Realm masters dared not tread lightly.
Yang Kai had originally assumed that the dozen or so Peak Open Heaven masters guarding the domain gate had obtained intelligence about the Ink Clan's hideout. But now it seemed that was not the case.
There was no trace of the Ink Clan's power here. Instead, the yellow and blue hues that pervaded everything were infused with pure yet violent yin-yang force, intertwined and locked in perpetual opposition!
Aside from the power of Solar Scorching Radiance and Lunar Phantom Glow, Yang Kai could think of no better explanation.
Having figured this out, he couldn't help but swallow nervously.
He had never imagined he would end up in a Domain of Chaotic Death. The proprietress had been right—this kind of place simply wasn't somewhere humans could go. Even an Open Heaven Seventh-Order master who came here would likely meet a miserable end.
His survival so far was entirely thanks to the Giant Spirit God's protection. That violent, destructive power had been repelled by the Giant Spirit God, leaving Yang Kai completely unscathed.
Now he also understood why the warriors of the neighboring great domain had been evacuating.
The battlefield of Solar Scorching Radiance and Lunar Phantom Glow had been expanding. Once it reached the vicinity of the domain gate, it would very likely drag the neighboring great domain into the conflict, turning the entire domain into part of the Domain of Chaotic Death.
No one dared to stay and wait for death.
Then there were those dozen or so Peak Open Heaven masters. The existence of Solar Scorching Radiance and Lunar Phantom Glow posed too great a threat. The various Great Cavities and Blessed Lands must have been monitoring them constantly, and those Peak Open Heaven masters were most likely their observers.
In the brief moment Yang Kai was lost in thought, the yellow and blue entities he had been watching had already determined a victor. The two colors belonged to yin and yang forces respectively, and although they had manifested in identical forms, there was still a difference in their standing.
In the course of their entanglement, the yellow creature representing the yang attribute was defeated. Its form was shattered by its opponent, and though it struggled to reconstitute itself, it ultimately failed.
Left behind was a palm-sized crystal.
Yang Kai's eyes lit up!
Having handled countless resources of every attribute and every grade through his hands, Yang Kai had long since developed an extraordinary eye for such things. So even without closely inspecting it, he could confirm that this palm-sized yellow crystal was absolutely a yang-attributed resource—and a pure one at that, of no low grade.
He turned his head to survey the surroundings. Floating throughout the void were countless yellow crystals and blue crystals of every size...
He even spotted a yellow crystal vein stretching for several li, like a dead flood dragon lying across the emptiness.
When he had first arrived, he had been too stunned by the violent, destructive power and too captivated by the sight of the yellow and blue creatures fighting to notice any of this. Only now had he discovered them.
Yang Kai's breathing suddenly quickened.
He suddenly remembered that when he had been desperately in need of yin-yang attributed resources, the proprietress had half-jokingly suggested he come to the Domain of Chaotic Death to search, because this place was the battlefield of Solar Scorching Radiance and Lunar Phantom Glow. Under the collision of their powers, countless yin-yang attributed resources would be born.
Those yellow crystals and blue crystals of every size floating in the void—every last one of them was a yin-yang attributed resource! Regardless of their grade, they were absolutely pure, because they had been condensed from the very power exuded by Solar Scorching Radiance and Lunar Phantom Glow!
How... how many resources were there?!
For the first time, Yang Kai truly understood what "countless" meant. Even as wealthy as he was now—commanding two major star markets and an entire new great domain—his heart still burned with excitement at the sight of these scattered, ownerless resources.
After all, these were all yin-yang attributed resources—the rarest commodities across the entire cosmos, the Three Thousand Worlds.
Why had the various Great Cavities and Blessed Lands been willing to trade even their Small Origin World trial slots just to gain access to the Creation Divine Furnace? Their primary goal had been to forge higher-grade yin-yang attributed resources in preparation for the Disciples growing up in the Star Boundary.
Yang Kai had sent a massive batch of resources to the Da Yan Blessed Land through Bian Yuqing for the exact same reason.
But if one could claim the resources within this Domain of Chaotic Death, why would anyone even need the Creation Divine Furnace?
The various Great Cavities and Blessed Lands surely knew this, but they had no means of acquiring them! Perhaps at the outer edges, an Eighth-Order Open Heaven master could obtain some. But once one ventured deep into the Domain of Chaotic Death, even an Eighth-Order master could not guarantee their own safety. The residual shockwaves from the battle between Zhuozhao and Youying were more than enough to annihilate an Eighth-Order master with ease.
