At the abyssal entrance of the Boundary Breaking Prison, Zuoju fell for the trap once again and was besieged by Xuanqiong for years. Yet this time, Bao Qiong still failed to achieve his goal. This was already the seventh time he had paid a price and gone to such lengths to lure him into a trap, yet he still could not harm his foundation.
After devouring the Ancient Demonic Creature, Zuoju's strength had risen again. If not for the carefully arranged formation restricting him, Bao Qiong could no longer even suppress Zuoju in a one-on-one battle.
Even with the formation's aid, resisting Zuoju's current counterattack required Bao Qiong and the other Six Yin Lords to cooperate with all their strength. The fellow before them had already grown powerful enough that Bao Qiong found him difficult to erase. Looking back over his entire cultivation journey, only the Wu Ming Wu Gou Supreme Ring Master had ever been more troublesome.
Yet Bao Qiong had only been able to scheme against and kill the Ring Master because of the Wood of Huangting and a backstab the other party had never expected. Without either condition, he could never have killed him, nor could he have seized the Xuanqiong Sacred Land as it stood today. As for the Zuoju he now faced, possessing two Origin divine powers from another world, he simply could not be killed by anyone.
As long as Zuoju's connection with Youxuan remained, he was the Dao itself in that other world, having already broken free from the concept of spiritual-body consciousness promoted by the Dao Source Universe... Unless there was a way to sever Zuoju's connection with Youxuan forever, or he was directly Devoured by the same method—using his own way against him, turning Zuoju into a part of himself!
