As early as when Xiao Wu was explaining the Soul Spirit System, Ye Kai had sensed that someone was watching him.
At first, Ye Kai had used the Lord of Plants to question the surrounding trees, but there was no response.
Then Da Ming said they needed a Plant-Type Soul Beast to become Ye Kai's Soul Spirit.
That sense of being watched suddenly stirred.
Ye Kai could roughly guess the source of that gaze—there was only one being in the entire Star Dou Great Forest who could seize a measure of control from the Lord of Plants: Ultimate Wood, currently five hundred and twenty thousand years old, ranked sixth on the Ferocious Beast List, the Ten Thousand Demons King.
(Because the million-year Deep Sea Demonic Whale King was still alive at this point, even if no one knew whether he or Di Tian was stronger, there was definitely no problem with Evil Emperor and the others' rankings being pushed back by one place.)
"Human, you are very interesting. It has been a long time since I sensed such vast vitality. Even that one-hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor beside you in her prime could not compare to you."
A deep voice came from every direction.
"Who is it?"
Da Ming and Er Ming did not know about matters in the Core Region, and their expressions immediately tightened as they looked around.
"Lord Ten Thousand Demons King~"
Ah Yin bowed respectfully, her expression also somewhat tense.
Although she had not seen him, Ah Yin already knew the Ten Thousand Demons King had arrived.
She had not expected Xiao Kai to actually draw the Ten Thousand Demons King's attention. Now they could only have Xiao Kai use that spatial skill of his and retreat first.
"Oh? Auspicious Beast, why have you come as well?"
