Martial Peak

Her white-as-lotus arms laid bare for everyone to enjoy.
Her fiery red top, coupled with her exposed lower abdomen and belly button, looked quite tempting.

Yang Kai glanced at her and shook his head.
He then turned his gaze to the Stone Puppet and asked, “Xiao Xiao, is there anything you like here?”

In fact, Yang Kai didn’t need to ask this question.
As soon as he took out Xiao Xiao, his round black bean-like eyes started looking around.
He looked extremely dumb but Yang Kai knew that this expression meant that he was extremely excited.

To the Stone Puppet Family, who were born to refine the essence of ores for themselves, this Ore Star was simply a paradise.
As long as they were given time, they could devour the entire Ore Star.

Just as Yang Kai asked, Xiao Xiao’s head moved up and down like a chicken pecking rice.

Yang Kai curled his lips into a smile as he asked in a low voice, “Does this star have a residual Source?”

Last time, when they were in that Ore Star, Xiao Xiao entered into a deep sleep after having swallowed the residual Star Source.
He might not have become stronger after he woke up but its Origin King Realm’s demon could not be underestimated.

This was another way of growing stronger.

If he could swallow some of the residual Source here, Xiao Xiao would surely grow stronger.

An Ore Star’s Source was different from a Cultivation Star’s Source.
Because the Ore Star’s Source was severely damaged, the World Energy was sparse and the star was unsuitable for cultivation, so it didn’t matter if it had the Source or not.

As long the mineral deposits were still there, the value of the Ore Star would not be reduced.

But the same couldn’t be said for a Cultivation Star.
Each Cultivation Star was inhabited by hundreds of millions of souls.
Without its Source, it would soon be reduced into a Dead Star.
At that time, all its residents would suffer.

The same was true for a Medicine Star.

A Medicine Star’s World Energy was quite rich, even far denser than an ordinary Cultivation Star’s.
And because of its rich World Energy that the spirit medicines could mature so quickly.

Having heard Yang Kai’s question, Xiao Xiao seemed to be a little confused.
It scratched its head while looking at Yang Kai, confused.
He looked as if he had no idea what Yang Kai was asking.

“Stupid, it’s the thing you ate last time and fell asleep,” the nearby Liu Yuan knocked Xiao Xiao’s head hard.

Xiao Xiao seemed to have understood now and his eyes couldn’t help but light up.
He hurriedly nodded.

“Go ahead and swallow it.
If we come across a treasure along the way, we can’t let it go, can we!? When you are done, you can wait for me here,” Yang Kai waved his hand and said, smiling.

Having gotten the permission, Xiao Xiao flipped in the air before his short figure dived straight into the ground, disappearing in a flash.

Under Yang Kai’s Divine Sense, he had actually dived a hundred miles underground in this short span and was still diving into the earth at an astonishing speed.
Obviously, it was looking for the residual Source.

“Master, what do I do?” asked Liu Yan.

“You can also look around and see if you have a lucky encounter of your own.
No one has entered this star for over ten millennia, so there should be some good stuff lying here.
Maybe it’s been waiting just for you to collect it.”

“You don’t need me by your side!?”

“No.” Yang Kai shook his head.
Suddenly, he seemed to have realized something, staring Liu Yan in surprise.
“Your sentience…”

In the past, Liu Yan didn’t appear to be self-assertive.
She didn’t ask these kinds of questions.
But today, Liu Yan was behaving a little differently.

Liu Yan herself was dumbstruck.
She furrowed her pretty eyebrows and appeared to be at a loss.

Yang Kai smiled.
“I guess refining the Sun’s True Fire has been really helpful to your growth.
Unfortunately… Xiao Xiao’s natural sentience is too low, otherwise, he would have become smarter.
Keep working hard! If I get the chance someday, I will think of a way to shape your physical body.
You don’t have to live in this energy body.”

Liu Yan’s pretty eyes immediately glowed with a dazzling light as she said, bowing elegantly, “Then, this Liu Yan would like to thank Master in advance.”

Yang Kai waved her off.
Liu Yan immediately let out a cry as she transformed into a Firebird, shooting towards the horizon and leaving a tail of scorching fire behind.

After his two helpers had left, Yang Kai released his Divine Sense and checked the situation of the Avatar inside the Sealed World Bead.

However, the Avatar was still digesting the floating continent.
Its body was as huge as a mountain and was particularly daunting.

Seeing its current situation, Yang Kai knew that this wasn’t a suitable time to let it out.

The next moment, his figure jolted before flying straight into the sky.

This was a Dark Star, a star hidden by a natural Array.
The ores here were worth nothing to Yang Kai, but the natural Array hiding the Dark Star was another thing.
He wanted to have a glimpse of its mysteries.

If he could get some inkling from that strange Array, it would be extremely beneficial to Yang Kai.

The sky was dim and dark, unlike any Cultivation Star he had seen so far.
There was no sun or moon, and not even the twinkling of stars could be seen, only a dim light cascading through the sky.
God knows where it was coming from, but the entire Ore Star was barely visible because of this weak light.

The entire sky and earth seemed to be shrouded by an invisible lid, forming a world of its own.

After flying to a height of over a hundred thousand kilometres, Yang Kai didn’t go up anymore because he felt that the natural Array had some kind of effect here.
If he went up again, he might trigger some kind of lethal trap.

Even he might not be able to escape from this kind of lethal track.
It was the wrath of Heaven and Earth itself, the might of the Principles.
