Since Yang Kai wanted these young disciples to familiarize themselves with how to fight the Black Ink Clan, he naturally had to have some kind of control over the situation. The Black Ink Clan was born from Black Ink Nests, so Yang Kai figured all he needed to do was get his hands on one. Yang Kai now only hated himself for not having enough foresight and simply destroying so many Black Ink Nests in Mu Guang’s Royal Domain.
Fortunately, he could still salvage the situation.
The reason he had come to this area under the Black Ink Clan’s control was because he had set his eyes on this Black Ink Nest. As for whether he could take it into his own Small Universe, Yang Kai wasn’t certain.
Back then, he had personally witnessed Zha Gu hatching a Black Ink Nest and had some understanding of its various characteristics; so, he knew that it would be difficult to implement this plan.
There were still some Black Ink Clansmen inside the Black Ink Nest, but Yang Kai quickly cleaned them up.
He then opened his Small Universe, allowing the Black Ink Nest to devour his World Force. Then, using the Black Ink Nest’s Will as a medium, Yang Kai’s consciousness instantly entered a strange space.
This space was formed by the Will of this region’s Territory Lord Black Ink Nest, and at this moment, there were no less than 30 consciousnesses gathered in this space. These consciousnesses were surging, obviously communicating with one another.
The Black Ink Clan of the Blue Sky Theatre had not experienced the tragedy in Mu Guang’s Royal Domain, so they were completely unaware of what would happen next. So, when Yang Kai used his Spiritual Energy to attack them, they didn’t even have time to react.
The consciousnesses were destroyed in an instant; after all, Yang Kai’s Spiritual Energy was on par with a Territory Lord’s, meaning none of these Black Ink Clansmen were a match for him.
When the commotion started, the remaining consciousnesses immediately sensed that something was wrong and naturally pushed their strength to attack Yang Kai.
Yang Kai did not fear this counterattack. The situation he had encountered in the Mu Guang’s Royal Domain could not be compared with what he was experiencing now. At that time, Hei Yuan’s Will had also been lying in ambush for him, together with over 30 Feudal Lords, but in the end, Hei Yuan failed to kill him and his Soul had even been severely wounded, forcing him to retreat.
If it weren’t for this, Hei Yuan wouldn’t have been chased down by a mere Seventh-Order Human Master.
As a result, after Yang Kai’s rampage, the consciousnesses here suffered heavy casualties, and as many as 8 Feudal Lords had their consciousnesses destroyed, with those of several other High-Rank Black Ink Clansmen were also wiped out.
The destruction of these consciousnesses also signified the fall of these Black Ink Clansmen.
The surviving consciousnesses realized that something was horribly wrong and no longer dared to remain. They quickly scattered like birds and beasts in a wildfire, only thinking of escaping.
Yang Kai was unable to chase them all down and could only helplessly sigh as they fled.
Destroying the consciousnesses of a few Feudal Lords was just a matter of course, but that was not Yang Kai’s original plan. After a while, he withdrew his consciousness and exited the Black Ink Nest.
His Divine Sense surged like a tide as he probed the foundation of the Black Ink Nest.
The Black Ink Nest in front of him was thousands of meters tall, like a giant flower bud planted in the ground. It was the typical size of a fully mature Low-Rank Black Ink Nest, but under Yang Kai’s investigation, he realized that its foundation stretched far further.
The entire Universe World was enveloped in the power of this Black Ink Nest. If the Black Ink Nest before him was like a giant tree, then its roots were spread across the entire World.
If Yang Kai wanted to take this Black Ink Nest into his Small Universe, he would have to take this entire Universe World.
This Universe World was not big, but even Yang Kai was unable to take it into his Small Universe.
He already knew this would be the case though and had no intention of taking away the entire Black Ink Nest.
As Space Principles surged and the Void shattered, the roots of the Black Ink Nest was severed one by one, and with the Black Ink Nest as a center, an area with a radius of over a dozen kilometers was excised from the Universe World.
The next moment, a gateway opened as Yang Kai’s Divine Sense enveloped the landmass with the Black Ink Nest on it, forcefully dragging it into his Small Universe.
This sudden change quaked the entire Universe World.
Yang Kai immersed his consciousness into his Small Universe, but almost immediately, a disappointed look appeared on his face.
He had indeed moved the entire Black Ink Nest into his Small Universe, but perhaps because its roots had been cut off, or perhaps because of some other reason, the Black Ink Nest began to show signs of withering. Even when Yang Kai poured his World Force into it, the Black Ink Nest showed no signs of devouring it.
This was unusual, as Black Ink Nests devoured World Force almost instinctively.
The World Force was a powerful tonic for the Black Ink Nest, but since it was not even devouring a bit of World Force, it undoubtedly meant that it had ceased functioning and was doomed to die.
In fact, after the entire Black Ink Nest was pulled into his Small Universe by Yang Kai, it started collapsing at a speed visible to the naked eye. In less than the time one takes to drink half a cup of tea, it completely withered.
This situation caused Yang Kai to frown. It seemed that taking a Black Ink Nest wasn’t going to be an easy task.
But if he could obtain an unhatched Black Ink Nest, he might be able to hatch it in his Small Universe. There wouldn’t be any problems then.
Be that as it may, unhatched Black Ink Nests were extremely precious even to the Black Ink Clan, so how could Yang Kai obtain one? Unless he could find a Mid-Rank Black Ink Nest and provide it with a massive quantity of materials, it was impossible to get an unhatched nest.
However, this place was not Mu Guang’s Royal Domain, so searching for and entering a Mid-Rank Black Ink Nest would be extremely risky.
The reason Yang Kai had been able to stir up so much chaos in Mu Guang’s Royal Domain last time was firstly because the bulk of the Black Ink Clan Army was engaged in battle with the Human Army, and secondly, the Yin-Yang Pass Old Ancestor had made a move and forced all the remaining Territory Lords who had stayed behind to rush to the Royal Lords’ aid, leaving just Hei Yuan to deal with Yang Kai. Once Yang Kai heavily damaged Hei Yuan’s Soul, he basically had free reign.
The right time, right place, and right conditions made it possible for Yang Kai to act so recklessly in Mu Guang’s Royal Domain without anyone to stop him. If even one point was different, he would not have been able to act so brazenly. Even so, in the end, he was unable to destroy more than 10 Mid-Rank Black Ink Nest.
In the Blue Sky Theatre, the Black Ink Clan Army was currently gathering, so there were definitely Territory Lords guarding this place. If Yang Kai tried to wreak havoc, he would attract the attention of those Territory Lords. Not many Territory Lords needed to take action, just two would be enough to threaten him. Once two Territory Lords came at him, even if Yang Kai was proficient in the Dao of Space, he might not be able to escape unscathed.
Yang Kai could not bear such a risk; therefore, he didn’t insist on sticking to his plan of plundering a Black Ink Nest after this attempt failed.
There was still time before the young talents in his Small Universe matured, so he was in no rush for now. It wouldn’t be too late to think of a solution later.
Miao Fei Ping had already returned with his body covered in multiple wounds. Apparently, he had killed many Black Ink Clansmen in this short period of time. His appearance might have been miserable, but he was still filled with zeal and vigor. Furthermore, because of the Purifying Black Ink Pill, he didn’t have to worry about being corrupted by Black Ink Strength for a short time.
“Martial Uncle, since the Black Ink Clan has fled, should we pursue them?” Miao Fei Ping asked eagerly. Obviously, he still did not have enough of the slaughter.
“There’s no need for that, they’re all Low-Rank Black Ink Clansmen. It’s useless to kill them, we will only be wasting time,” Yang Kai indifferently replied.
“Oh, then where are we going?”
Yang Kai pondered for a moment before turning his eyes in the direction they had come from, “You should return to Dawning Light to rest.”
“What about Martial Uncle?” Miao Fei Ping asked.
