Thus, Wutian sought out Emperor Jun at the first opportunity.

This time, he absolutely could not let him escape!

Wutian thought to himself.

Ever since Emperor Jun had escaped, Wutian had devoted even more effort to comprehending speed after returning.

He was confident that this time, he would never let Emperor Jun flee again.

Nor was Wutian surprised that Emperor Jun had broken through to the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm.

After all, he had passed through Emperor Jun's stage himself. He knew that once a Golden Immortal cultivated to that extent, breaking through to Grand Luo Golden Immortal was merely a matter of thought.

And at this decisive stage of the Dao-Devil Conflict, breaking through to Grand Luo Golden Immortal was the most natural thing in the world.

Emperor Jun recognized Wutian as well. The moment he saw Wutian charge toward him, there was not the slightest trace of fear in his heart.

He was even eager to try, wanting to wash away his past humiliation.

Being pursued by Wutian back then had been the most humiliating moment since his birth. He wanted Wutian to experience that same disgrace.

Neither side retreated. Emperor Jun and Wutian collided head-on.

Wutian stood atop the Eleventh Grade Black Lotus. It had been painstakingly cultivated by Luo Hou and could be considered a Superior Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

The Long Halberd in Wutian's hand had been nurtured bit by bit from Innate Undying Spiritual Light that he had sought out. It had now grown into a Superior Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure and was exceptionally compatible with him.

Emperor Jun, on the other hand, did not employ many Innate Spiritual Treasures. He used only the Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Hetu Luoshu Diagram, pouring all his focus into controlling it.

Pure Demon Path Laws intertwined with the many Laws Emperor Jun had mastered. Neither side could gain the upper hand.

On Wutian's side, pitch-black Demonic Qi filled the heavens.

On Emperor Jun's side, crimson flames scorched the sky.

In terms of Laws, the two sides were almost evenly matched.

"Good! This is exhilarating!"

Wutian looked at Emperor Jun as he spoke.

"As expected of the Devil Ancestor's sole disciple!"

Emperor Jun praised him in turn.

"Devil Ancestor? I believe Master would be quite pleased to hear that title."

"Emperor Jun, you are naturally suited to the Demon Path. Why not join it? I will personally ask Master to accept you as his disciple."

Wutian made his offer.

Hearing this, Emperor Jun merely looked at Wutian without speaking.

Seeing Emperor Jun's expression, Wutian knew he did not believe him. He said, "If you refuse, I will capture you myself. But when that happens, you can only become my slave."

Emperor Jun replied, "Who captures whom is still uncertain."

Even as they spoke, their Laws continued clashing.

Suddenly, Wutian attacked Emperor Jun with his Long Halberd. He moved incredibly fast, even faster than a Grand Luo Golden Immortal tearing through space.

Emperor Jun's keen senses detected it instantly, and he used the Hetu Luoshu Diagram to block the attack.

Speed?

The moment Emperor Jun saw Wutian's movements, he knew Wutian had put considerable effort into this aspect.

But while you have worked hard, I am no less capable.

After blocking Wutian's attack, Emperor Jun seized the instant before Wutian could react and used the Rainbow Transformation Art to pull away.

Seeing this, Wutian immediately tried to pursue him. Yet Emperor Jun did not pause in the slightest, appearing once more at Wutian's side.

Streams of Solar Trueflame surged from the Hetu Luoshu Diagram, each containing Laws as they scorched Wutian.

With Laws as fuel, the Solar Trueflame's might rose to an entirely new level.

Ripples spread across Wutian's Eleventh Grade Black Lotus as it was burned.

Even through the Black Lotus, Wutian could feel the searing heat of the Solar Trueflame.

Under such circumstances, Wutian did not hesitate at all. He used another divine ability, and black qi that filled the sky wrapped around him, forming a protective layer.

At the same time, he swiftly withdrew from the area controlled by the Solar Trueflame.

After using his divine ability, Wutian's speed increased once more, and he launched a counterattack against Emperor Jun.

Wutian and Emperor Jun grew faster and faster, appearing and vanishing throughout their battle.

Yet no living being dared underestimate the immense power of their true bodies clashing, nor the vast force of their Laws.

The two sides were evenly matched, and for a time, it was difficult to determine a victor.

Both Emperor Jun and Wutian could injure the other, but neither could kill the other. Thus, they remained locked in combat.

This was the state of most Grand Luo Golden Immortals, though it was especially apparent with Wutian and Emperor Jun.

However, before Luo Hou's battle against Hongjun and the other Four Ancestors produced a victor, none of these living beings had any thought of retreating. They knew only how to fight to the death.

Even Emperor Jun was no exception.

Emperor Jun did not know whether it was the influence of the Karmic Tribulation Qi or because he had encountered an evenly matched opponent.

He had no intention of withdrawing from the battle. Every method he had previously comprehended was displayed upon Wutian one by one.

In Emperor Jun's eyes, Wutian was simply an excellent whetstone, allowing him to test every one of his ideas.

Wutian likewise found it immensely satisfying to have an opponent as evenly matched as Emperor Jun.

After all, since he had first entered the world, no living being had ever pushed him to such an extent.

The two now truly appreciated one another. Neither wished to leave, nor did either want the other to leave.

If one wished to leave, then one side would have to die.

The battle between Dao Sect cultivators and Demon Path cultivators continued, and victory could not be decided in a short time.

At the same time, some Primordial Golden Immortals of the Demon Path had found several Hidden Races and begun fighting them.

Some races possessed Primordial Golden Immortals, such as the White Tiger Clan and the Black Tortoise Clan.

The Primordial Golden Immortals of these races directly fought against the Demon Path's Primordial Golden Immortals.

Other races did not possess Primordial Golden Immortals, but they were unwilling to submit to the Demon Path. They rose in resistance as well, using the strength of their entire race to fight a single Primordial Golden Immortal.

Naturally, some races surrendered without a fight. After subduing them, the Demon Path's Primordial Golden Immortals did not linger and instead set off to find the next Hidden Race.

After all, the Demon Path did not have many Primordial Golden Immortals to spare. On the main battlefield, its Primordial Golden Immortals faced immense pressure.

Battle raged everywhere throughout the Primordial World. Thin layers of bloody mist even permeated the land, adding another shade of tragedy to the Primordial World.

Of course, there were still peaceful places in the Primordial World. One was the Four Seas governed by the Dragon Clan, another was the Undying Volcano where the Phoenix Clan resided, and the last was the Qilin Mountain Range inhabited by the Qilin Clan.

These three places had not suffered attacks from the Demon Path.

Because the three races had damaged the heavens and earth of the Primordial World during the Dragon-Han Calamity, their races carried immense karmic debt. Thus, Luo Hou had no desire to subdue them.

Yet Progenitor Dragon, Origin Phoenix, and First Qilin had made great vows on behalf of their entire races, and Luo Hou was unwilling to pay the enormous price required to destroy them.

After all, the Dragon Clan guarded the Four Seas Sea Eyes, the Phoenix Clan suppressed the Undying Volcano, and the Qilin Clan traveled the land as auspicious omens.

If these three races were destroyed, was the Demon Path supposed to shoulder all those duties alone?

The battle between Dao Ancestor Hongjun and the other three against Luo Hou had yet to produce a victor.

The battle between Dao Sect cultivators and Demon Path cultivators had yet to produce a victor as well.

The battle between Wutian and Emperor Jun was evenly matched, and likewise had yet to produce a victor.

As for the lower-level living beings, no victor had been decided there either, but not a single day passed without lives being lost.

This situation continued for a full thousand years.

Over those thousand years, the lower-level living beings fought in rotations and had intervals for rest, though those intervals were very short.

The Grand Luo Golden Immortal and Primordial Golden Immortal cultivators, however, had no time to rest at all. They fought without cease.

By now, they were all exhausted and weary, but who dared let down their guard?

Over those thousand years, Grand Luo Golden Immortals and Primordial Golden Immortals had already fallen.

Emperor Jun had witnessed it with his own eyes. From time to time, a Demon Path cultivator and a Dao Sect cultivator would perish together. It was utterly brutal.

Wutian and Emperor Jun's battle had also lasted for a thousand years. Both were already severely worn down in spirit, yet neither had any intention of retreating.

Having competed in Laws, combat, and spiritual treasures, Wutian and Emperor Jun now began competing in endurance.

In truth, there was one more thing Wutian had failed to notice.

That was that his contest with Emperor Jun also included comprehension.

Over these thousand years, Emperor Jun had made full use of Wutian as a whetstone.

Whether in Laws or combat, Emperor Jun had tested everything upon Wutian.
