Back in the Ink Battlefield, he and Bai Yi had barely managed to kill a heavily wounded Domain Lord Zhufeng — and nearly lost their lives in the process. Now, dozens of Domain Lords had already fallen to his hands, and he had even personally slain a King Lord. That kill had been somewhat inexplicable, but a kill was a kill.
The Ink Clan was powerful, and he would only grow stronger with time.
One day, these formidable Innate Domain Lords — he would crush whichever one he pleased!
Yang Kai had that confidence.
He steadied his mind and quietly tended to his injuries.
Yang Kai of the Xuanming Domain had suddenly appeared in the Bipolar Domain, killing five Ink Clan Domain Lords in a single battle — even the presiding purple-haired Domain Lord had fallen. The Ink Clan army in the Bipolar Domain collapsed, and centuries of accumulated advantage were wiped out in one stroke.
When word spread, it sent shockwaves through the Ink Clan powerhouses across countless major domain battlefields.
They were both stunned by this human killing god's terrifying strength and fearful of his unrestrained behavior.
If this fellow was stationed in the Xuanming Domain, he should have stayed put there. Suddenly running off to the Bipolar Domain to slaughter indiscriminately — it was utterly unreasonable.
It should be noted that before this, Yang Kai had vanished for nearly three hundred years.
Three hundred years — not long, yet not short.
Enough time for the fearsome reputation he'd built in the past to fade — and yet the moment he resurfaced, he shook the heavens.
Compared to the shock of learning the news, the Ink Clan powerhouses felt far greater wariness.
If the human killing god could show up in the Bipolar Domain this time, what about next time? Would he appear in Wolf Fang Domain, Soul Terror Domain, or some other major domain?
A thief could strike a thousand days in a row, but no one could stand guard against him for that long. If someone like him was running around freely, the threat to Ink Clan powerhouses was too great.
Who could guarantee that he wouldn't suddenly appear while they were locked in combat with human powerhouses?
The only way forward was to find a way to restrict his movements, and so all eyes of the Ink Clan powerhouses turned toward the Xuanming Domain.
Yang Kai had leapt out from the Xuanming Domain, so naturally, this matter fell to the Domain Lords of the Xuanming Domain to handle.
Three hundred years ago, the higher-ups of the Human and Ink races had reached a peace agreement stipulating that neither Eighth Orders nor Domain Lords would interfere with the battlefield situation. Since then, the humans had established ten bases throughout the Xuanming Domain for their soldiers to rest and recuperate nearby.
Likewise, the Ink Clan had also set up bases in various locations. However, each human base had two or three Eighth Orders stationed as a precaution, whereas the Ink Clan's bases had no Domain Lords stationed in them.
They didn't dare!
Even when two or three Domain Lords gathered together, they felt no real sense of safety. Rather than giving the humans a chance to pick them off one by one, it was better to congregate in one place for greater security.
So on the Ink Clan's side, all the Innate Domain Lords were gathered in the Qiankun World where their main camp was located, either quietly tending to their injuries or keeping watch over the humans' movements.
Over the years, the human side had completely disbanded the Xuanming Army. Human soldiers now operated in small squads, or invited three to five friends to work together, hunting the Ink Clan across the vast battlefield.
The Ink Clan adopted the same strategy in response.
Both sides launched ambushes and counter-ambushes within this vast domain, fighting with fierce intensity. At virtually every moment, countless battles erupted across the enormous territory.
More and more humans poured into the Xuanming Domain from the rear.
Because this particular domain battlefield was safer than the others — there were no large-scale army engagements, allowing individual warriors to make better use of their strengths.
Three hundred years of training had begun to show results.
Many rising stars had made names for themselves, and veteran Sixth and Seventh Orders thrived in the environment, continuously honing their abilities.
Casualties were also considerable, but that was unavoidable — when training soldiers, things couldn't always go perfectly. However, all losses remained within acceptable limits.
More and more human leaders recognized the benefits of using the Xuanming Domain as a training ground, and those promising talents who had been kept hidden by the great Blessed Lands and Grotto-heavens began to be sent into the Xuanming Domain battlefield, giving them the opportunity to fight the Ink Clan and experience the great terror between life and death.
Overall, battles raged constantly in the Xuanming Domain now, but everything remained within manageable limits for both the Human and Ink races.
The Ink Clan Domain Lords in the Xuanming Domain had even enjoyed a rare few hundred years of peace, free from the worry of Yang Kai's ambushes.
But that peace had recently been shattered.
Led by the Bipolar Domain, Domain Lords from over a dozen major domain battlefields had jointly pressured the Xuanming Domain side to deal with the Yang Kai problem.
Xuanming Domain, Ink Clan main camp.
In the great council hall, numerous Domain Lords had gathered.
