Ye Jun stood with his arms crossed before the Yin Yang Great Array in Wuji Mountain, waiting. East King Duke's abilities were truly meager.
Ye Jun had long guessed that he would surely seek out Dao Ancestor Hongjun, as he was currently East King Duke's biggest backer.
What a shame. Dao Ancestor Hongjun might very well ignore the situation later when Di Jun, leading the Demon Race, made a move against the Purple Mansion, precisely because of East King Duke's repeated pestering.
At this moment, East King Duke's expression was extremely grim. The Qiankun Cauldron in his hand was something Dao Ancestor Hongjun had prepared for Ye Jun.
But now, he couldn't even enter Wuji Mountain, let alone fight.
"Ye Jun, are you afraid of me, that you would use such a great array to block me outside?" East King Duke said in exasperation.
He had already tried for a long time, using all sorts of methods to break through this great array, but to no avail.
"What? My fellow Daoist, can you not even open such an ordinary great array?" Ye Jun sneered.
Immediately, he waved his sleeve, and the Yin Yang Great Array fell silent. Seeing this, East King Duke wore a smug smile.
"Ye Jun, hand over Wuji Mountain obediently!" East King Duke said coldly.
He then formed seals with his hands, and after a surge of spiritual energy, he directly unleashed the Qiankun Cauldron. The Qiankun Cauldron spun towards Ye Jun.
"Oh? It seems you came prepared!" Ye Jun said dismissively.
Suddenly, a purple light appeared within the Qiankun Cauldron, and faint purple mist transformed into a giant cage, directly enclosing Ye Jun.
Seeing this, East King Duke's eyes lit up with joy. So what if you broke through to the Quasi-Saint realm?
You still can't compare to a Saint!
Seeing Ye Jun trapped, East King Duke immediately began to mock him.
"Fellow Daoist Ye Jun, weren't you very arrogant just now? How are you now?" East King Duke taunted.
Ye Jun in the purple mist cage simply ignored him. He didn't need to think twice about this purple mist; he recognized it as Dao Ancestor Hongjun's doing the moment he saw it.
However, wanting to trap him was simply wishful thinking!
Ye Jun let out a cold snort, Yin-Yang Two Energies flowed through his hands, and with a flick of his sleeve, one hundred and eight black and white chess pieces were flung out.
Thirty-Six Heavenly Dipper White Chess Pieces, Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Black Chess Pieces!
The Yin-Yang Two Energies continuously spawned within the Qiankun Cauldron, and a giant Yin-Yang fish immediately appeared inside.
The Yin-Yang fish flicked its tail and charged into the dense purple mist. The moment it touched the mist, it instantly transformed into pervasive Yin-Yang Two Energies.
The Yin-Yang Two Energies then enveloped the entire interior of the Qiankun Cauldron. East King Duke watched the Qiankun Cauldron with a smile, but suddenly noticed faint purple Qi emanating from it.
East King Duke was puzzled but didn't pay it too much mind. This was a Qiankun Cauldron bestowed by a Saint; how could there be a problem?
Little did he know that the interior of the Qiankun Cauldron was now completely devoid of the previous purple mist, replaced by a strand of Dao Ancestor Hongjun's Divine Sense.
"I didn't expect this great cauldron to contain a strand of Dao Ancestor's Divine Sense. I was indeed presumptuous," Ye Jun said with a playful smile, his arms crossed.
"Ye Jun, I have great use for this Wuji Mountain. You should leave today," Hongjun's phantom slowly spoke.
He adopted the posture of a superior.
Ye Jun sneered inwardly. "Great use," indeed. And you want to snatch this Wuji Mountain away?
What a joke!
"I pay my respects to Dao Ancestor. I am very fond of this Wuji Mountain, so I'm afraid I cannot leave," Ye Jun said slowly.
"Ye Jun! I know what you mean. If you hand over Wuji Mountain today, I can take you as my disciple," Dao Ancestor Hongjun's phantom said.
Take him as a disciple?
"Thank you for your kind offer, Dao Ancestor, but no need!" Ye Jun said dismissively.
Without giving the Dao Ancestor any time to react, he flicked his sleeve, and the Yin-Yang Two Energies transformed into a sharp green sword that pierced Dao Ancestor Hongjun's strand of Divine Sense.
If Dao Ancestor Hongjun himself had appeared, then so be it. A mere strand of Divine Sense, and you want to threaten me? You really took me for an ordinary monkey?
After shattering Dao Ancestor Hongjun's Divine Sense, Ye Jun's figure flashed, and he escaped the Qiankun Cauldron's control.
Then he saw the utterly bewildered East King Duke.
"You... how could you get out? Inside this Qiankun Cauldron was..."
"Was what? Just a strand of Old Man Hongjun's Divine Sense?" Ye Jun interrupted before East King Duke could finish.
With that, the one hundred and eight black and white chess pieces behind him slowly formed a God-Slaying Chess Formation!
The black and white interwoven formation was filled with murderous intent. East King Duke swallowed hard, still unable to comprehend why the Qiankun Cauldron had not suppressed Ye Jun.
"East King Duke, I gave you a chance!" Ye Jun said. With a thought, the Yin Yang Chess Formation behind him transformed into one hundred and eight streams of light, charging towards East King Duke.
East King Duke trembled at the sight. The Yin Yang chess pieces exuded murderous intent, and he had no choice but to defend. His hand seals formed rapidly, and the Qiankun Cauldron was instantly placed before him.
Within the Qiankun Cauldron, Qiankun energy flowed like monstrous waves, one after another. The Qiankun energy encompassed all things; truly worthy of its name!
Ye Jun's brow furrowed. His control over the Yin-Yang Two Energies was still not sufficient!
With a thought, the God-Slaying Spear reappeared in his hand. East King Duke frowned; he had just been sent flying by this spear.
"If you want Wuji Mountain, take this spear strike!" Ye Jun said in a deep voice.
As the God-Slaying Spear in his hand erupted with black and red Great Dao light, the entire Wuji Mountain trembled slightly.
The God-Slaying Spear's malevolent energy churned, its tip spewing and retracting with sharp intent. Ye Jun let out a cold snort, and the God-Slaying Spear in his hand suddenly shot out, transforming into a streak of light that flew towards the East King Duke.
Space shattered in its wake, and Spiritual Energy flowed backward!
The East King Duke was already drenched in sweat. This Monkey's strength was surprisingly formidable!
The East King Duke immediately threw his Dragon Head Staff, shouting, "Purple Qi Comes East!"
The Dragon Head Staff instantly transformed into a colossal purple dragon. The dragon held the Qiankun Cauldron in its maw, and its roars echoed across the heavens!
At this moment, the East King Duke knew clearly that he had no choice but to fight to the death!
The purple dragon and the overwhelming malevolent energy collided violently. The Qiankun Cauldron in the dragon's mouth helped mitigate some of the malevolent energy's corrosive effect. Otherwise, this purple dragon would have been completely shattered by the malevolent energy!
Even so, the East King Duke was sent flying back again, and the Qiankun Cauldron became much dimmer.
The Qiankun Cauldron floated quietly to the side. This direct collision with the God-Slaying Spear had also severely damaged this spiritual treasure.
Spiritual Energy Depleted!
Ye Jun, his face flushed red, retrieved the God-Slaying Spear. A wave of dizziness washed over him; the malevolent energy of the God-Slaying Spear was indeed exceptionally potent.
After spitting out a mouthful of blood, the East King Duke propped himself up with the Dragon Head Staff, glaring at Ye Jun with a ferocious expression!
