Three powerful Dao Realm experts from the Three-eyed Demon Clan, including Second Elder Jii Gongyue, have tracked Ye Zhen to the Molten Hell Sea. They seek the culprit behind the disappearance of a million Spirit Void Fruit Trees seven years ago, an event that severely damaged their clan's influence. Ye Zhen, realizing he was lured into a trap, desperately searches for an escape route, but the combined power of the three experts severely limits his options. As Ye Zhen stalls for time, Wang Baimu, realizing the danger, attempts to flee, drawing the attention of the Demon Clan.

With the breath locked by the Dao Realm expert, Ye Zhen remained still, raising his spiritual power, and upon locking his breath, the eyes of Jii Tongduan, who was at the Early Dao Realm, revealed a trace of a cold smile.

"Really reckless!"

With a cold snort, Jii Tongduan of the Early Dao Realm didn’t seem to move much but appeared within thirty meters in front of Ye Zhen, his ample palm shadow expanding, like an eagle catching a chick, covering Ye Zhen.

In front of this Ye Zhen, the Three-eyed Demon Clan had been devising for so long, finally catching a bit of a clue.

So, even though in extreme anger, Jii Tongduan dared not deliver a death blow, only aiming to capture Ye Zhen alive with a heavy hand.

Whoosh!

A piercing sound explosion echoed, the sound of breaking the void after high-speed movement. Normally, when martial artists move at high speeds, they emit a piercing sound explosion.

But when the martial artist’s speed surpasses the speed of sound, sometimes the sound explosion echoes only after the person has moved far away. Such a degree of sonic explosion is usually referred to as a sonic barrier sound.

The thunder-like sound explosion made Jii Tongduan’s face become incredibly unpleasant.

With his experience, the sound of breaking the air in front of him absolutely belonged to a sonic barrier.

The speed of Jii Tongduan’s strike was also incredibly fast, as the sonic barrier sound echoed, he had already struck Ye Zhen, but what he struck was merely Ye Zhen’s spirit shadow after performing Wind Flash and Sweep.

Fortunately, Jii Tongduan always had some sense of Ye Zhen’s breath, even though Ye Zhen had already moved far away, he could still sense Ye Zhen’s direction.

As he turned his head, Jii Tongduan’s expression changed.

Because Ye Zhen had already appeared ten miles away.

This speed, even he as a Dao Realm expert couldn’t reach.

"Come back to me!"

With a thought, Jii Tongduan’s figure disappeared into thin air, he directly used his spatial divine ability.

This was the only way he could catch up to Ye Zhen.

At the same moment, Ye Zhen, who had fled ten miles away with a Wind Flash and Sweep, felt a slight relief in his heart. As long as he escaped the encirclement of three Dao Realm experts, Ye Zhen was halfway to safety.

As long as he ran a bit farther with Wind Flash and Sweep, with Ye Zhen’s skills, whether it was Innate Five Elements Divine Escape or the Ancient Mirage Qi within the Mirage Dragon Pearl, Ye Zhen could disappear from under the noses of these three Dao Realm experts.

It must be said, Ye Zhen’s secret technique Wind Flash and Sweep, obtained from the Essence Spirit Pearl of the Ancient Fierce Beast Strong Wind, was truly extraordinarily powerful.

This was merely a thought in Ye Zhen’s mind at that moment; the opportunity afforded by Wang Baimu’s escape was incredibly precious, and Ye Zhen would not waste time in idle reflections.

Almost at the instant of performing Wind Flash and Sweep, Ye Zhen’s divine sense urged him fiercely, intending to continuously use Wind Flash and Sweep to flee.

But at that moment, a torrent-like chill and killing intent suddenly assaulted Ye Zhen from his side, causing the hair on Ye Zhen’s body to stand on end.

In that split second, golden brilliance again swept across the sky like a galaxy, directly splitting the void in front of Ye Zhen, creating an artificial space ebb and flow!

The one who struck was the Second Elder of the Three-eyed Demon Clan, Jii Gongyue, who was cunning and cautious beyond measure. Though earlier his divine sense had shifted to confront the fleeing Wang Baimu.

Yet there had always been a trace of divine sense observing Ye Zhen’s movements, and in this moment of escape, Ye Zhen exhibited astounding speed, successfully shaking off Jii Tongduan’s interception.

Thus, Jii Gongyue relentlessly turned his attention to Ye Zhen, considering Ye Zhen far more important than Wang Baimu.

Seeing the spatial barrier split ahead, the space rift formed of spatial turbulence, Ye Zhen, who had just initiated Wind Flash and Sweep, broke into a cold sweat in an instant.

The four-colored primordial spirit within the Dark Palace radiated resplendent brilliance in an instant, Ye Zhen’s divine soul power was pushed to the extreme, and at the crucial moment, he made a sharp turn.

Ye Zhen narrowly avoided plunging headlong into the spatial turbulence with unknown destination.

Having evaded the catastrophe of rushing into spatial turbulence, Ye Zhen without hesitation activated Wind Flash and Sweep again, fleeing in another direction.

In the distance, the Second Elder of the Three-eyed Demon Clan, Jii Gongyue, displayed a trace of mocking intent, "Still trying to escape?"

From the vertical golden eyes and blood eyes on his forehead, golden light shot forth once more, as the spatial barrier ahead of Ye Zhen shattered again, another space rift formed of spatial turbulence appearing before Ye Zhen.

Almost in an instant, the Second Elder of the Three-eyed Demon Clan, Jii Gongyue, performed divine skills in the three directions Ye Zhen could flee, slashing the void barrier and laying down three space rifts formed of the void turbulence.

These three space rifts formed of void turbulence shaped like a gate, with only the rear without a space rift formed of void turbulence.

And behind Ye Zhen was the Second Elder of the Demon Clan, Jii Gongyue, and beneath him was the Absolute Domain Lava Hell Sea.

In a moment, the Second Elder Jii Gongyue sealed Ye Zhen’s escape routes dead, plunging Ye Zhen into an insurmountable predicament where the heavens were closed and the earth was unreachable.

Although the sturdy Primordial Continent would quickly close the broken spatial barrier in the shortest time, this shortest time usually exceeds one breath.

A breath’s time was enough for a Dao Realm expert to kill or capture Ye Zhen alive several times.

Earlier, the Dao Realm Venerable of the Three-eyed Demon Clan, Jii Gongduan, had pursued Ye Zhen across the void, and now emerged from the void, a sinister grin forcing Ye Zhen into a corner without retreat.

"You bastard, this time, let’s see where you can escape!"

Such is the dramatic nature of events in this world.

Earlier, Wang Baimu forcibly departed, drawing Jii Gongyue and another Dao Realm Venerable Jii Yan to attack with full force, Jii Gongyue with the golden eyes and blood eyes breaking the spatial barrier and blocking Wang Baimu’s return path.

This caused Wang Baimu’s heart to sink in an instant.

Though his strength was indeed extraordinary, he was only at the Half-step Dao Realm.

He, being at a Half-step Dao Realm, even with several divine secret techniques at his disposal, had difficulty escaping from a Mid Dao Realm expert, let alone facing the blockade of two powerful Dao Realm Venerables of the Demon Clan.

Under the blockade of two Demon Clan Dao Realm Venerables, Wang Baimu had absolutely no chance of survival.

In an instant, Wang Baimu’s mind went blank.

But just as Wang Baimu was convinced of his impending death, the killing intent and divine sense locked onto him suddenly lightened. Jii Gongyue had stopped attacking Wang Baimu and turned to intercept Ye Zhen.

As the most powerful Jii Gongyue left, the nearly desperate Wang Baimu suddenly saw a glimmer of hope.

However, the other Dao Realm Venerable pursuing him, Jii Yan, sealed off all possible escape routes.

With a thought, Wang Baimu suddenly dissolved into a cloud of black mist, avoiding Jii Yan’s lethal strike.

A hint of flush appeared on Wang Baimu’s face.

This life-preserving divine technique was indeed formidable. Even in the face of a Dao Realm expert’s divine secret techniques, it could be used to save one’s life.

However, each activation consumed tremendous energy and was utterly unsustainable.

Within a day, activating it three or four times was his limit.

And today, up until now, he had already activated it three times.

Facing the relentless pursuit of a terrifying Mid Dao Realm Venerable of the Demon Clan, he, a Half-step Dao Realm, virtually had no room for resistance and could only rely on this divine secret technique to preserve his life.

In other words, if he couldn’t escape now, he might never get another chance.

Wang Baimu’s gaze swept around the edges of the Molten Hell Sea, searching for a potential breakout route.

But at that moment, the Demon Clan Dao Realm Venerable Jii Yan was already above him, moving faster than him, and each attack was more fierce, leaving him with no opportunity to use his Spatial Divine Ability to escape.

Suddenly, Wang Baimu’s gaze fixed on the center of the Molten Hell Sea, at the molten rock vortex below.

His expression instantly became resolute.

To acquire the Spirit Shadow that could earn a bounty, he had explored that molten rock vortex more than once. It’s fair to say he was intimately familiar with the situation beneath that molten rock vortex.

That place, if not careful, even a Dao Realm expert would suffer greatly.

In the next instant, Wang Baimu clashed with the pursuing Demon Clan Dao Realm Venerable Jii Yan.

This made Jii Yan, who had been unable to touch Wang Baimu, overjoyed, and the force in his hands suddenly increased.

At the moment of the clash between fist shadow and palm shadow, Wang Baimu’s palm shadow shattered lightly without resistance.

Jii Yan’s face changed, "Something’s wrong!"

In the next instant, Wang Baimu spewed blood wildly, yet he fell toward the molten rock vortex at the center of the Molten Hell Sea like a meteor.

Even with blood at the corner of his mouth, there was a trace of relief, the relief of escaping from death, on Wang Baimu’s lips.

He was confident that as long as he entered that molten rock vortex channel, with his familiarity, he could definitely escape alive.

And at that same moment, Ye Zhen, whose escape route had been sealed by Jii Gongyue, the Second Elder of the Three-eyed Demon Clan, through spatial turbulence, suddenly saw Wang Baimu falling toward the molten rock vortex.

Particularly, the trace of ease at the corner of Wang Baimu’s mouth made Ye Zhen’s mind churn.

To be honest, Ye Zhen came here precisely for that Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object deep within the molten rock vortex channel that could replenish origin power.

However, Wang Baimu’s actions just now made Ye Zhen doubt the existence of this molten rock vortex channel.

But now, Ye Zhen saw Wang Baimu voluntarily heading into this molten rock vortex channel to escape.

In other words, this molten rock vortex channel was real, and there might indeed be an escape route.

Moreover, from the Shadow Capture Jade Slip, Ye Zhen saw that this molten rock vortex channel was incredibly dangerous. Even Dao Realm experts could not operate freely within it, their power greatly restricted.

In that case, Ye Zhen’s chance of escaping would increase significantly.

Almost at the instant he saw Wang Baimu’s action, Ye Zhen made a decision.

With a thought, he was about to initiate the Wind Flash and Sweep.

But at the same time, killing Qi surged from behind, as Jii Tongduan, a Demon Clan Early Dao Realm Venerable who had been persistently chasing Ye Zhen, intending to capture him alive, attacked with wrath.

"Damn it, get over here!" An overwhelming palm shadow descended upon Ye Zhen’s head.

"It’s time to show you something! Or else, you’d really think I’m easy to bully?"

At the moment Ye Zhen’s muttering sounded, a dark green flame orb flickered and suddenly rose from behind Ye Zhen’s head.

Roar!

A dragon form phantom, purely condensed from dark green poison flame, roared as it engulfed Jii Tongduan.

At the moment this dark green poison flame dragon form appeared, Jii Gongyue and Jii Yan paid it no mind.

But when Jii Tongduan’s scream echoed, the expressions of Jii Gongyue and Jii Yan changed!
