Martial Peak

High Heaven Sect, ten thousand people looked up into the sky to watch the departing light until it disappeared from sight.

“Be safe!” Su Yan and Xia Ning Chang stood atop different peaks as they shared the same silent wish in their hearts.

…..

Millions of kilometres from Shadowed Star, an invisible Astral Wind blew about recklessly, creating numerous big and small Starry Sky Storms which crashed together, were worn down, and then gathered together over and over and over again.

A vast and chaotically drifting Asteroid Sea which could rip apart any cultivator or Starship who tried to break through it haphazardly also swirled about.

This was the great barrier which isolated Shadowed Star.

The cultivators of Shadowed Star called it the Dead Zone!

Several million kilometres wide, this Dead Zone wrapped Shadowed Star in an all but impenetrable barrier that prevented anyone from leaving or arriving on Shadowed Star.

If it was just these dangers though, it would not be enough to stop Origin King Realm masters from arriving here, and even if Shadowed Star was quite remote, there would always be an Origin King who was curious and visited over a ten thousand year period.

However, the Dead Zone was also flooded with a certain power that even Origin King Realm masters dreaded.

Emperor Pressure!

Only Emperor Pressure could deter Origin Kings from approaching.

When Yang Kai left Shadowed Star with Qian Tong and the others last time, he had relied on the powerful defences of the Origin King Grade Starship to pass this region, but this time, he had come out alone and naturally left the Origin King Grade Starship behind in case some kind of accident occurred.

As such, Yang Kai was only able to rely on himself.

He did not know how this Dead Zone was formed before, but after hearing about so many ancient secrets from Yang Yan, he clearly realized that this Dead Zone was the remains of the battlefield between Yang Yan and the Insect Emperor.

That was why this place was still filled with Emperor Pressure and why it was so extremely dangerous.

Fortunately, although the Emperor Pressure here was indeed terrifying, it was not the first time that Yang Kai had experienced it.
When the Emperor Garden had truly opened, Yang Kai had even used the Emperor Pressure it released to integrate his Space Force into his Shi.

In regards to withstanding Emperor Pressure, Yang Kai was more confident than anyone.

Rushing straight into the Dead Zone, Yang Kai began dodging the flowing asteroids which came at him from all directions.

The invisible Star Field Astral Winds sliced past him like sharp blades, cutting into his flesh, causing a harsh metallic sound to ring out constantly.

Five coloured light blossomed from Yang Kai’s figure suddenly as he began using his Five Elements Indestructible Sword Tempering Art to protect his body!

With the constant use of Shadowed Heaven Pills, Yang Kai’s physical strength had already grown to an unimaginable state.

The invisible Astral Winds which could even force back an Origin King now could not even harm Yang Kai, and the occasional asteroid which managed to hit him would break upon impact.

Yang Kai charged into fierce Star Field Storms without fear and was instantly swallowed up by it.

Before long, Yang Kai rushed out from the other side of the storm safe and sound.

Cutting a path through all these obstacles, Yang Kai’s momentum was unstoppable!

Yang Kai was even able to leisurely feel the mysteries of the ambient Emperor Pressure that flooded this place.

This was even more helpful to his growth than absorbing the energy inside Domain Stones.

Yang Kai’s Shi had already reached the grand accomplishment stage, and his Saint Qi and Spiritual Energy had all reached the pinnacle of what an Origin Returning Realm master could possess.

If not for him being suppressed by Shadowed Star’s World Principles, Yang Kai could have already attempted to break through to the Origin King Realm.

As time passed slowly, his gains grew bigger and bigger.

However, Yang Kai soon discovered a problem.
While it was indeed a rare opportunity to experience to comprehend the Emperor Pressure inside the Dead Zone, he clearly felt that it was too profound for him to grasp, unlike the energy inside Domain Stones.

After thinking about it for a while, Yang Kai understood.

He was currently at the peak of the Origin Returning Realm, with the next realm being the Origin King Realm.
After the Origin King Realm though, there was a higher realm, and above that was the realm where Yang Yan stood, the true owner of this Emperor Pressure.

It was indeed a bit too ambitious to try to comprehend Emperor Pressure right now.

Yang Kai was like a child who had not yet learned to crawl trying to stand up and run, he was obviously somewhat incapable.

It seemed that the best time to experience the mysteries of the Dead Zone would be after he reached the Origin King Realm!

Realizing this, Yang Kai no longer wasted his time and rushed forward as fast as he could.

With the Star Chart in his Knowledge Sea, Yang Kai did not have to worry about getting lost in the vast Star Field.
By using his Star Chart, Yang Kai was also able to estimate the distances between different stars and Shadowed Star, allowing him to choose ideal places to arrange Space Arrays.

Many days later, Yang Kai landed on an icy Dead Star.

There were countless Dead Stars in the Star Field, ones without World Energy or even World Principles.
Perhaps after billions of years, some of the Dead Stars could evolve and give rise to life again, but such matters were too remote for mere cultivators to consider.
However, most Dead Stars would remain barren and desolate from birth to destruction.

After landing, Yang Kai didn’t immediately rest but instead began surveying the surrounding three-hundred-thousand-kilometre region.

After confirming that there were no living creatures here, he found a mountain valley-like area and began preparing to arrange the first Space Array!

This Space Array would be a transfer point for Shadowed Star to contact the outside world, and was an indispensable strategic location.
