βStop speaking nonsense with him! Hurry up and capture him! This Young Master wants him to taste the greatest tortures of the world! I want to rip his corpse into ten thousand pieces to relieve my hatred!β Ning Yuan Shu shouted with a nasty expression.
Gao Shan and Liu Shui had a solemn expression upon hearing this and they began to push their Source Qi.
βHold on, two old sirs, Junior will be right there!β Yang Kai smiled joyfully and flew towards them quickly while waving happily to Gao Shan and Liu Shui.
Gao Shan and Liu Shui were stunned on the spot, as was Ning Yuan Shu, all of them wondering what Yang Kai was up to.
Under normal circumstances, shouldnβt Yang Kai be running away? But he actually took the initiative to show up at their doorstep happily, as if he finally saw his loved ones after many difficulties, which was very puzzling.
βProtectors, be careful, he might be trying to swindle us!β Ning Yuan Shu reminded them in a low voice.
Gao Shan and Liu Shui nodded in reply, βDonβt worry, Young Palace Master. This little brat is not as strong as Luo Yuan, he wonβt be able to pull any tricks.β
βI hope so!β
After a short while, Yang Kai appeared directly in front of the trio and grinned at them.
Ning Yuan Shu seemed to be afraid of being slapped by Yang Kai, so his pupils shrank and he unconsciously took a few steps back, putting some distance between him and Yang Kai.
βJunior greets two Seniors.β Yang Kai smiled and cupped his fists, gesturing to Gao Shan and Liu Shui before immediately looking over at Ning Yuan Shu again, βYoung Palace Master, there was a small little misunderstanding between us before, but why donβt we let bygones be bygones? We can still be good friends now!β
βGood friends?β Ning Yuan Shu glared at Yang Kai nastily, thrusting both of his extremely swollen cheeks in front of Yang Kai, βLook at me! Do you think this Young Master can be good friends with you?β
Yang Kai leaned back slightly, turning his face aside with a disgusted look, βYoung Palace Master doesnβt need to come so close to say something… this Yang is timid, please donβt frighten me!β
Ning Yuan Shu was furious and roared, βYou did this to me!β
βAlright, alright,β Yang Kai interrupted his clamour with a wave then looked at Gao Shan and Liu Shui with a smile. βTwo Seniors, this Junior will now surrender to you without a fight!β
βUhβ¦β Gao Shan groaned and nodded, βAt least you know some manners.β
Liu Shui continued, βA wise man will submit to the circumstances. Boy, your future should be bright!β
βHehehe…β Yang Kai grinned, βThen, two Seniors are now responsible for protecting this Juniorβs safety since I am one of your captives, right?β
βProtect your safety?β Gao Shan frowned.
βWhat do you mean?β Liu Shui also looked blank.
But soon they knew what he meant.
In the void, a figure soared over. The Artifact Spirit caught up with Yang Kai and stopped at a distance of a few dozen meters away, holding a Demonic War Hammer in its hands, viciously staring at Yang Kai.
βThis… This aura!β Gao Shan was taken aback as he stared at the Artifact Spirit pensively.
Liu Shuiβs expression also turned awe-inspiring as he shouted in a low voice. βDemon Qi!β
Yang Kai nodded, βTwo Seniors are truly sharp! Yes, the aura around it is indeed Demon Qi, and the purest Ancient Demon Qi at that!β
βHow can that be?β Gao Shan and Liu Shui looked at Yang Kai with their eyes screaming βare you kidding meβ.
Yang Kai replied sternly, βJunior is not in the mood to joke with the two Seniors.β
Gao Shan asked, βNo wonder it felt a little different from the usual Demon Qi… But how can there be Ancient Demon Qi here?β
Liu Shui was also puzzled.
βCanβt two Seniorβs tell this is not a living creature? It is an Artifact Spirit assuming human form! Look at the hammer in its hand, thatβs an Ancient Emperor Artifact!β
βWhat?β The two old men trembled violently as their eyes fixed on the Demonic War Hammer in horror. Gradually though, their horrified expressions were replaced by a look of fanatical greed.
Yang Kai took advantage of the opportunity, βTwo Seniors have astounding cultivation and extraordinary strength, but have been trapped at the peak of the Dao Source Realm for countless years no doubt. The Heavens must be jealous and have no eyes for allowing this. If two Seniors can obtain this Emperor Artifact though and use it to comprehend some mysteries of the Emperor Realm, it may not be impossible to break through once more and become famous Emperors, overlords of the Star Boundary in the future!β
βYou certainly have a way with words…β Gao Shan turned to Yang Kai coldly, βThis old master is really moved!β
Yang Kai smiled, βOnly those who are predestined can possess treasures, thereβs no way any of those trash down there would be able to capture this Artifact Spirit. Only two Seniors have the strength to subdue it! As long as its consciousness can be erased, this Emperor Artifact will belong to you. Come now, please act swiftly, this Junior has the utmost confidence in you!β
After speaking, he actually retreated several dozen metres away, closed his fists and punched the air, cheering for Gao Shan and Liu Shui.
Gao Shan and Liu Shui both gulped. Although they both knew that this Artifact Spirit was definitely not to be trifled with, how could they not be moved by the treasure right in front of them?
Glancing at each other, the two shouted in unison, βLetβs go!β
When the words fell, Gao Shanβs hand flashed and his Guqin artifact appeared. He sat down cross-legged in the air and placed the Guqin horizontally across his lap before he began plucking it with his fingers.
Liu Shui also took out his flute at once, placing it against his lips, and blew into it lightly.
The two completely different tunes resonated in an instant, perfectly matching each other and forming an impact visible to the naked eye, enveloping the Artifact Spirit.
Yang Kai was close by and was not targetted, but after hearing the sounds, he suddenly felt that his consciousness was blurring slightly. This sound seemed like a living thing, burrowing into his ears, using a peculiar power to affect his mind.
He was secretly surprised and hurriedly circulated his Secret Art to resist this sound attack.
The impact on the Artifact Spirit was even more significant as it was forced to bear the brunt of this attack. Although it was only assuming human form, it did not have much sentience. It was actually the perfect tactic to restrain this Artifact Spirit with a sound attack that targeted its Soul.
As soon as the music played, the Demonic War Hammer was greatly affected. The red glow of its eyes flickered and its thick Demon Qi constantly trembled. However, it still managed to hold onto its War Hammer.
Seeing this scene, Gao Shan and Liu Shui were ecstatic and pushed their attack more and more vigorously, eager to take down the Artifact Spirit.
Ning Yuan Shu watched excitedly, praying that Gao Shan and Liu Shui would succeed as soon as possible.
If the two Protectors succeeded, he would be able to bring this War Hammer back to Flying Saint Palace. An Ancient Emperor Artifact would definitely contain many great secrets, and if it was refined by his Lord Father, it would definitely be able to improve his strength greatly, which would increase the status of Flying Saint Palace and indirectly raise Ning Yuan Shuβs status.
How could he not be excited?
On the other side, Yang Kai sat down cross-legged, taking advantage of this time to restore himself.
At this moment Gao Shan and Liu Shui were holding the Artifact Spirit in check, so Yang Kai naturally had to seize this good opportunity.
Although this Artifact Spirit was ferocious, it was not undefeatable. Yang Kai had the will, but not the power to fight against the Artifact Spirit due to him over-exerting himself when collecting the Source Crystal lode earlier. As long as he was given a little time to recover, he would be able to give this Artifact Spirit a good beating.
Above the wilderness, the sound of the Guqin and flute pierced through the air in fluctuating reverberations, playing an enchanting melody. The sound waves gathered constantly, following the ups and downs of the rhythm, hitting the Artifact Spirit directly, causing its glow to flash wildly.
The cultivators who escaped from the underground were attracted by the movement here and gradually approached, watching from a distance.
Gao Shanβs and Liu Shuiβs faces sank, for fear that they would end up gifting this treasure to others, especially when they saw the little brat Luo Yuan among the crowd…Β
They grew quite anxious.
To put it nicely, they ended in a tie in the previous battle with Luo Yuan; to put it bluntly, they were completely defeated by him.
After all, the two old men teamed up to fight while Luo Yuan was alone. It was an obvious victory when a rising star could suppress the two experienced old masters and cause them to escape in embarrassment.
With scruples in their hearts, the two old men made eye contact and as if they knew what each other was thinking, the next moment the beautiful melody changed sharply into hostility. The rhythm became intense and the sound that resonated changed from melodic to threatening, like the charge of an army of horses and soldiers rushing towards the Artifact Spirit.
Sound waves raged as the world lost colour.
βHou!β At that moment, the Artifact Spirit, which was suppressed by sound waves, suddenly roared. The flickering red eyes suddenly stabilized and an unimaginable aura burst forth from it.
The War Hammer, which it had been holding up high, suddenly descended.
The wind and clouds changed suddenly as a massive wave of energy surged forth, swirling around the War Hammer like a great vortex.
*Hong… *
When the War Hammer hit the void, space shattered like a mirror and a halo of light spread out like a sharp blade, cutting through the sound waves that were approaching it.
The sound waves disappeared one after another like fading dandelions.
Followed by the sound of Gao Shanβs Guqin strings snapping, and the creaking sound of Liu Shuiβs flute cracking.
βNot good!β The two old menβs expressions changed wildly as they quickly pushed their Source Qi to protect themselves.
Under the impact, the strength of the two old men was no better than a small canoe thrown into the stormy sea, overturned at once.
*Pu Pu… *
The two of them spat blood in unison, and their auras instantly dimmed.
βProtectors!β Ning Yuan Shu yelled in horror, his pupils shrinking.
βWastes!β Yang Kai cursed in anger.
He was expecting Gao Shan and Liu Shui to buy him a little bit of time so that he could have a chance to recover, but he did not expect these two old fools to go all out suddenly, and as a result wound up being beaten by the Artifact Spirit in just thirty breaths.
Not only that, but both of their artifacts were damaged. The two old men had suffered huge losses in this battle and it would probably take them ten or twenty years to fully recover.
The actions of the two Protectors obviously enraged the Artifact Spirit, so after breaking free from the shackles of the sound waves, it raised its War Hammer again, causing the runes on its surface to flash even more brilliantly than before while a black hole appeared before its face, one that seemed capable of swallowing the world itself.
Everyone was filled with dread as they felt something horrendous was about to happen.
thanks boo
Thanks for the chapter
Thanks a lot Silavin and the rest for the amazing and regular translations.
Just checking on the current scenario:
The novel has about 5989-2273 = 3718 chs and 3 chs per day => 1238.66 days = 3 years 4 months 23 days.
The novel has reached the Severed World Arc after which YK goes to the Star Boundary.
When I started the novel was about 1990-1140 = 850 chs ahead but now its 2273-1755=518 chs ahead. It took about 4 months for this to happen. This means that in about 518 * 120 / (850-518) = 187 days ~= 6 months, the manga will catch up with the novel.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…………………………….
Yk’s personality changed 180… He used to be bold and daring, but now he is hiding and running, not to mention his bootlicking…. I dont like it at all
He needs to use soul energy! And he does not have enough after doing a greedy and satisfying action that could have forever harmed his soul. He needs time to recover and properly get the artifact under control. He’s using the third order DS masters to gain that said time to restore himself and in the future use some kind of soul attack perhaps to attack.
He isn’t one to be arrogant without having the strength to back it up…just like YK said few chapters earlier- It’s better to be humiliated than lose your life…he is a cunning bastard using others until he can recover…I remember people complaining about his intellect dropping significantly but isn’t this also a thing that boasts his intellect?
Don’t mind the bad English
I agree with senior comment, yk is a cunning bastard, he will do anything to keep his live, like before he ask help from luo yan, but lou yan is smart enough so he didnt take the bait, its fortunate he found trio idiot to buy him just a little time
πI wrote a lengthy comment and when it was done I clicked on ‘Post Comment’. The website reloaded, I was still signed in but the comment is nowhere to be seenππππ I can’t write it again!
I wrote it again but its still nowhere to be seen. Good thing that this time I copied it before posting it.
Why is it not appearing?
Thanks a lot Silavin and the rest for the amazing and regular translations.

Finally….
Fuck! I wrote a long ass comment too but it just didnt post ._.
Manhua is moving so fast, you would believe it has trained space force. It skips most details and all the fillers, so it will definitely catch up in less than a year.
3-4 months at most i say.
F
People are either having a slow start today or my internet is acting up and not showing me comments. Just one person before me and it’s been already 10 minutes. Sus.
