After reaching the peak, Yuan Ming immediately saw that the buildings that once stood on the mountaintop had all been leveled. The open square was densely packed with dark, black stone pillars, which connected to form a massive array that covered several acres of land.

In the center of the array, suspended above a circular demon pattern array map, coiled a black mist that was distinctly different from ordinary demonic Qi.

It was as if light and dark Qi had fused, interweaving into a cluster of thick black mist that shone with light, emanating astonishing waves of magic power.

Opposite it in the sky, within that terrifying cloud of demonic energy, there was a huge gap, through which countless rays of daylight leaked, illuminating the giant demon array below.

Countless primordial Qi from that funnel-like daylight poured into the array.

Yuan Ming was so stunned by the scene before him that he was at a loss for words; everything had surpassed his understanding.

"Fellow Daoist Qi Ye..." he called out softly, wanting to ask Qi Ye for an explanation.

But at that moment, the storage bracelet on his wrist suddenly lit up with intense black light, a force that seemed uncontrollable, as if it wanted to burst the confines of the storage bracelet.

Yuan Ming, feeling a premonition, turned his wrist.

A beam of black light shot out from the storage bracelet and rushed toward the demon array.

Within the black light was none other than the black stone pillar Yuan Ming had obtained from the Underground Palace of Snake King Valley.

Seeing that it seemed to be resonating with the demon array, Yuan Ming surmised there must be a connection and instantly became vigilant.

His thoughts raced; the black stone pillar was an object of the Demon World, and at this moment, if it were to fly into the demon array, it was likely not a good thing.

Without hesitation, Yuan Ming thrust out both hands, transforming them into Undying Tree Vines that bound the black stone pillar, pulling it firmly towards him.

However, the pillar's strength was immense, and it began dragging Yuan Ming towards the center of the demon array.

Yuan Ming's expression changed slightly as his feet transformed into Undying Tree Roots, stabbing into the ground. He tapped into the power of his Half-Demon Body, steadying his form and, with great effort, pulling the black stone pillar back, little by little.

But just then, within the giant array at the peak, the luminous black mist suddenly shot forth, autonomously penetrating the array's confines and rushing towards the black stone pillar.

Struggling against the black stone pillar, Yuan Ming had not anticipated the mist's self-directed approach and was too late to react, only able to watch helplessly as the mass of demonic energy smashed into the black stone pillar.

There was a "puh" sound.

The moment the glistening black mist collided with the pillar, it first scattered in all directions, then swiftly retracted, and thereafter completely merged into the stone pillar. This copy comes from content on *.

Yuan Ming could distinctly feel the black stone pillar trembling violently.

Suddenly, the force that wanted to fly away disappeared, and the black stone pillar heavily sunk and fell toward the ground.

The instant it hit the ground, there was a thunderous roar, as if Chaotian Peak itself had trembled.

Yuan Ming's heart also trembled violently.

He quickly gestured to bring the black stone pillar back to him, but it remained motionless.

Yuan Ming rushed forward and saw that the surface of the black stone pillar was covered with a thin mist that flowed slowly under the breeze.

During the mist's flow, mysterious and bizarre demon patterns started to emerge on the surface of the black stone pillar, grand and eerie, with a strange fluctuation.

At the same time, the originally dim surface of the black stone pillar lit up with dark light, like polished marble, shining with a luster unique to the stone material.

But in Yuan Ming's heart, a strong notion emerged, feeling as though something that had been asleep for countless years was awakening!

"No matter what, I must not leave this thing for the Wu Yue Sect," Yuan Ming thought resolutely to himself.

If he couldn't take the black stone pillar with him, then he would rather destroy it.

With a mindset to try one last time, Yuan Ming gestured towards the pillar. The black stone pillar instantly vanished and was stored inside his storage bracelet.

He was momentarily stunned, but quickly realized that the commotion here must have alerted the people of the Wu Yue Sect.

This was no place to stay for long.

Without hesitation, Yuan Ming employed his Divine Skills of the Undying Tree and reopened the void passage.

Inside the stone castle, Wulu, seeing Yuan Ming's return, wore an expression of urgent concern.

"Yuan Ming, what in the world are you doing? Did you blow up Chaotian Peak? What's with all this commotion?" he couldn't help but rebuke.

The tremendous shaking that had come from Chaotian Peak was also felt here, nearly indistinguishable from an earthquake.

"The situation has changed; let's get out of here first," Yuan Ming said as he tried to open the spatial passage again.

"Audacious villains, since you are here, don't even think about escaping," boomed a grand voice from outside at that moment.

Immediately after, a pressure so immense that it was unimaginable descended upon them.

"It's too late," Wulu said, frowning as he saw this.

Before the words were out of his mouth, the dome of the stone castle above them, under the pressure of the tremendous force, collapsed with a deafening crash.

The power was incredibly vast, almost beyond imagination; not only did it contain terrifying pressure, but it also held boundless Divine Soul Power. Wherever it passed, the void trembled, displaying waves of distortion.

Yuan Ming's space channel had not yet opened when it was twisted and interrupted under the influence of the force.

"Great Black Sky God Palm..." he couldn't help but frown.

Wulu's eyes sharpened, and his body twisted as his thick hands suddenly swept towards the sky.

In an instant, the space around him distorted, and a powerful, blood-colored tornado burst forth from his body, sweeping away the collapsing dome and the entire stone castle into dust.

Both men emerged, and at a glance saw that a chaotic storm was rapidly approaching them from afar.

Wrapped in black smoke was a tall figure; it was none other than the Wu Yue God.

Before he could draw close, the Wu Yue God's body erupted with billowing black smoke as he raised one hand high up and fiercely slapped it down towards Yuan Ming.

The void above the two men's heads suddenly vibrated violently, followed by a darkening of the sky, as if night had suddenly fallen, making everything unclear; only a colossal power as vast as the sea enveloped them.

"Great Black Sky God Palm, this is the true Great Black Sky God Palm..." Yuan Ming looked up, his heart filled with immense shock.

Above them, a black giant palm large enough to cover the sun and seemingly without boundaries revealed a vague halo, pressing down from above. Wave after wave of black fluctuations compounded on top of one another, displaying the massive power without a doubt.

At that moment, a hundred zhang radius of the void froze, space was petrified, and Yuan Ming's bodies were locked in place.

Even the thought of escape had become a luxury for them.

Wulu couldn't help but swallow hard, his heart filled with unspeakable shock.

But in Yuan Ming's eyes, after a moment of surprise, intense war intent replaced it.

His eyes twinkled, and his flesh seemed to come alive; facing this overwhelmingly powerful attack, he became completely exhilarated.

Fight, fight. His Body of Wanxiang was self-activating, urging him on to fight.

Yuan Ming's face gradually contorted into madness; facing the descending palm that threatened to obliterate him, he didn't retreat but advanced. His blood boiled, and wisps of red mist rose from his body.

He roared and stomped his feet fiercely, shooting up like a reverse meteor, punching towards the Great Black Sky God Palm.

In the high sky, the air crackled, elongated like the whistling of an arrow.

Yuan Ming's skyward punch, dead center in the black palm, suddenly brightened with a blood-red light, like a blood sun tearing through the pitch-black canvas, abruptly bursting with light.

In the "boom" of the explosion, all the might of the Great Black Sky God Palm disintegrated in an instant.

"He's become this powerful already?" Wulu, staring at Yuan Ming's silhouette, was somewhat stunned for a moment.

However, the next moment, Yuan Ming's urgent voice rang out in his Sea of Consciousness: "What are you standing around for, run for it!"

Wulu snapped back to reality and quickly chased after Yuan Ming's figure.

However, the Wu Yue God was obviously faster, and in the blink of an eye, he teleported to block their path.

When he saw Yuan Ming's appearance, surprise flickered in his eyes, and he bellowed angrily, "Yuan Ming, you're still alive? Impossible, no one can escape my Evil Curse Kill!"

Yuan Ming frowned upon hearing this, immediately recalling the event at Black Witch Mountain where his Divine Soul was nearly devoured by an Evil Ghost, and had a sudden realization.

But he knew this was not the time to think about such things. If they couldn't escape in time, there was no chance of survival from this powerful Wu Yue God.

While the Wu Yue God was still caught in shock, Yuan Ming did not hesitate, instantly executed the Demon Image Prison Suppression Skill, and mobilized all the power of the Body of Wanxiang; his body flared up as if ignited in red Blood Flames.

He charged a punch with full force, his blood boiling like never before, flowing through the Circulation pathways throughout his body, then gathering all the power in the punch he unleashed towards Yuan Ming.

This time, Yuan Ming employed the essence of the Emperor Sealing God Fist, using his own strength to harness the power of the heavens and the earth around him.

The void around him suddenly condensed, countless Primordial Qi gathered towards him, and a blood-colored Giant Elephant with a form as concrete as its spirit charged towards the Wu Yue God.

The Wu Yue God came to his senses, flames of Blood Flames ignited around him, and his form rapidly swelled and distorted, emitting a continuously escalating aura. It seemed he was about to transform into a one-eyed Evil Ghost.

However, Yuan Ming's Blood-colored Giant Elephant had already rushed to the front, forcing him to swing his Blood Claw at it.

The Blood Claw imprint instantly swelled by a hundred times, colliding with the Blood-colored Giant Elephant, resulting in a thunderous explosion.

In the violent aftermath, the Wu Yue God was struck back by the blow.

Without hesitation, Yuan Ming and Wulu each deployed their respective Escape Techniques, shooting toward the direction of the Chang Chun Temple at high speed.

Several hundred members of the Wu Yue Sect were pursuing them, flying into the air to intercept.

"Get out of the way..."

With a roar from Wulu, a blood-colored tornado whirled around him, instantly scattering these would-be blockers.

The two did not dare to linger and quickly swept away.

However, they had just reached the mountain gate when a Blood Shadow suddenly chased after them from one side, shouting:

"Don't run."

Along with the shout, huge blood-colored bolts of lightning shot from behind, interweaving to block all possible escape routes for Yuan Ming, set on annihilating them on the spot.
