Take This Spear!

Ye Jun stood with his arms crossed before the Yin Yang Great Array in Wuji Mountain, waiting for East King Duke. With his paltry cultivation, it was only a matter of time.

Ye Jun had long guessed that East King Duke would seek out Dao Ancestor Hongjun. After all, Hongjun was East King Duke's greatest patron at present.

What a pity. Perhaps it was East King Duke's repeated disturbances that would later lead Dao Ancestor Hongjun to turn a blind eye when Di Jun and the demon race attacked Purple Mansion.

East King Duke's face was exceptionally grim. The Qiankun Cauldron in his hands had been prepared by Dao Ancestor Hongjun for Ye Jun.

But now, he couldn't even get into Wuji Mountain. How could he possibly fight?

"Ye Jun, are you afraid of me, which is why you're using this array to keep me out?" East King Duke snapped in exasperation.

He had spent a long time trying every method he could think of to break through the array, but all his efforts had come to nothing.

"What's the matter? Could it be that you can't even break through an ordinary array like this, fellow Daoist?" Ye Jun sneered.

With a wave of his sleeve, he plunged the Yin Yang Great Array into silence. East King Duke saw this and immediately smiled smugly.

"Ye Jun, hand over Wuji Mountain like a good little fool!" East King Duke said coldly.

He formed a seal with both hands. After a surge of Spiritual Energy, he summoned the Qiankun Cauldron, which spun toward Ye Jun.

"Oh? So you came prepared!" Ye Jun said disdainfully.

A sudden flash of purple light appeared inside the Qiankun Cauldron. The faint purple mist transformed into a huge cage and enclosed Ye Jun.

East King Duke's face lit up with delight at the sight. So what if Ye Jun had broken through to Quasi-Saint?

He still couldn't stand against a Sage!

Seeing Ye Jun trapped, East King Duke immediately began taunting him.

"Fellow Daoist Ye Jun, weren't you acting so arrogant just moments ago? How do you like things now?" East King Duke jeered.

Ye Jun simply ignored him from within the purple mist cage. He recognized at a glance that the purple mist was Dao Ancestor Hongjun's handiwork.

But thinking he could trap Ye Jun was nothing short of wishful thinking!

Ye Jun snorted. Yin-Yang Two Energies swirled in his hands as he swept out his sleeve, sending a hundred and eight black and white chess pieces flying.

The Thirty-Six Heavenly Dipper White Chess Pieces and the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Black Chess Pieces!

Yin-Yang Two Energies continued to form within the Qiankun Cauldron, and a gigantic taiji symbol appeared inside it.

The taiji symbol flicked its tail and charged straight into the vast expanse of purple mist. The moment it touched the mist, it instantly transformed into a sky full of Yin-Yang Two Energies.

The Yin-Yang Two Energies immediately filled the entire inside of the Qiankun Cauldron. East King Duke watched the cauldron with a smile, but then noticed wisps of purple energy leaking from it.

East King Duke was momentarily confused, but he didn't pay it much mind. The Qiankun Cauldron had been bestowed by a Sage. How could anything possibly go wrong?

Unbeknownst to him, the purple mist inside the cauldron had already vanished completely, replaced by a trace of Dao Ancestor Hongjun's Divine Sense.

"I never expected the cauldron to contain a trace of the Dao Ancestor's Divine Sense. I was too presumptuous," Ye Jun said with his arms crossed, his tone teasing.

"Ye Jun, I have great use for Wuji Mountain. Leave today, and I'll let you go," Hongjun's apparition said slowly.

He spoke with the air of a superior.

Ye Jun sneered inwardly. "Great use," was it? He thought he could simply take Wuji Mountain?

What a joke!

"Greetings, Dao Ancestor. I'm quite fond of Wuji Mountain, so I'm afraid I can't leave," Ye Jun said slowly.

"Ye Jun, I know what you're thinking. If you hand over Wuji Mountain today, I can take you as my disciple," said Dao Ancestor Hongjun's apparition.

Take him as a disciple?

"Thank you for the offer, Dao Ancestor, but I'll have to decline!" Ye Jun said disdainfully.

Without giving the Dao Ancestor a chance to respond, he swept out his sleeve. Yin-Yang Two Energies transformed into a sharp sword and pierced through the trace of Dao Ancestor Hongjun's Divine Sense.

If Dao Ancestor Hongjun had come in person, that would have been another matter. But a mere trace of Divine Sense thought it could threaten him? Did Hongjun really take Ye Jun for an ordinary monkey?

After dispelling Dao Ancestor Hongjun's Divine Sense, Ye Jun flashed out of the Qiankun Cauldron's control.

Then he saw East King Duke standing there, dumbfounded.

"You... How did you get out? The Qiankun Cauldron should have—"

"Should have what? It was just a trace of that old man Hongjun's Divine Sense," Ye Jun cut him off before he could finish.

As he spoke, the hundred and eight black and white chess pieces behind him slowly formed the God-Slaying Chess Formation!

The interwoven black and white formation brimmed with killing intent. East King Duke swallowed hard. He still couldn't understand why the Qiankun Cauldron hadn't suppressed Ye Jun.

"East King Duke, I gave you your chance!" Ye Jun said. At a thought, the Yin Yang Chess Pieces behind him transformed into a hundred and eight streaks of light and shot toward East King Duke.

East King Duke's heart jolted at the sight. The Yin Yang Chess Pieces were overflowing with killing intent, and he couldn't afford to let his guard down. He swiftly formed a seal, and the Qiankun Cauldron immediately moved in front of him.

Qiankun energy flowed within the cauldron, surging in wave after wave like a raging sea. The cauldron's ability to contain all things truly lived up to its name!

Ye Jun knitted his brows. He still hadn't mastered control over Yin-Yang Two Energies.

A thought struck him, and the God-Slaying Spear appeared in his hand once more. East King Duke's brows furrowed. He had just been sent flying by that very spear.

"If you want Wuji Mountain, take this spear!" Ye Jun said solemnly.

As black-red Great Dao light coiled around and burst from the God-Slaying Spear in his hand, all of Wuji Mountain began to tremble.

Baleful energy roiled around the God-Slaying Spear, its tip flashing with sharp, surging force. Ye Jun snorted, and the spear shot from his hand like a streak of light toward East King Duke.

Space shattered in its wake, and Spiritual Energy ran backward!

East King Duke was already drenched in sweat. This monkey was astonishingly powerful!

East King Duke threw the Dragon Head Staff and shouted, "Purple Qi Comes from the East!"

The Dragon Head Staff transformed into a giant purple dragon, which held the Qiankun Cauldron in its mouth. The dragon's roar thundered across the sky!

East King Duke knew full well that he had no choice but to fight to the death!

The purple dragon and the surging baleful energy collided with a thunderous crash. The Qiankun Cauldron in the dragon's mouth helped shield it from some of the baleful energy. Otherwise, the purple dragon would already have been shattered completely!

Even so, East King Duke was sent flying once more, and the Qiankun Cauldron had grown much dimmer.

The Qiankun Cauldron floated quietly off to the side. Its direct collision with the God-Slaying Spear had severely damaged the spirit treasure.

Its Spiritual Energy was depleted!

Ye Jun's face was flushed red as he recalled the God-Slaying Spear. He felt a little dazed himself; the spear's baleful energy was indeed extraordinarily powerful.

After spitting out a mouthful of blood, East King Duke used the Dragon Head Staff to prop himself up. His face twisted into a grimace as he glared at Ye Jun!
