Within the Taiji Diagram lay a self-contained realm of yin and yang energies. In this world, Yin-Yang Daoist held every advantage, and his Dao arts had greatly increased in power. He had heard Luohou himself say that he and Qiankun had fought to a standstill. Now that Luohou had voluntarily entered his Yin-Yang Domain, his confidence swelled, and he declared that he would kill Luohou here!

Luohou was already simmering with anger over his earlier setback against Li Yi's Spirit Treasure. Seeing Yin-Yang Daoist's attitude now, he could not help but laugh in fury.

"I would like to see just how capable you are, Daoist..."

Boom!

Under Yin-Yang Daoist's control, the yin and yang energies swept up a millstone-shaped Spirit Treasure, transforming into a World-Grinding Disc that blotted out the heavens and covered the earth as it crashed down upon Luohou. This was the Yin-Yang World-Grinding Wheel, a combat divine art he had long comprehended. Combined with the power of yin and yang within the Taiji Diagram, its might was several times greater than before!

Right from the start, Yin-Yang Daoist had unleashed his strongest killing move!

A cold smile appeared on Luohou's face. The source power of the God-Slaying Spear coiled around its tip as he charged straight toward the World-Grinding Disc, which stood ten thousand miles tall, without the slightest hesitation!

Seeing that Luohou did not dodge, a hint of delight appeared on Yin-Yang Daoist's face.

Idiot! Ever since he had comprehended this Yin-Yang World-Grinding Wheel, there had only been enemies it could not hit—never enemies it could not kill!

The millstone Spirit Treasure within it was originally a Supreme-grade Innate Spirit Treasure, his companion supreme treasure! Now, bolstered by the yin and yang energies of the Taiji Diagram, a World-Creation Supreme Treasure, its power was absolutely no weaker than that of an offensive Innate Supreme Treasure!

Yet this Demon Ancestor actually chose to meet it head-on? He truly did not know how to write the word "death."

The instant that thought arose, Luohou's God-Slaying Spear struck his World-Grinding Disc. In a single instant, a crack rapidly spread across the ten-thousand-mile millstone, and the yin and yang energies attached to it instantly collapsed!

Pfft!

His companion Spirit Treasure had been destroyed, its rank instantly falling to that of a High-grade Innate Spirit Treasure. As Yin-Yang Daoist spat blood and suffered grave injuries, his entire mind went blank!

This... this was not right, was it?

Had Luohou not said that he and Qiankun were evenly matched? Why was he so ferocious against him? His companion Spirit Treasure was a Supreme-Grade Spirit Treasure, and it was even enhanced by the Taiji Diagram's yin and yang energies, yet it had been crippled in a single move?

Looking at Yin-Yang Daoist's bewildered face, a savage smile curled across Luohou's lips.

Idiot! Heaven-Earth Daoist possessed a defensive Innate Supreme Treasure, one that could ward off all Dao arts! Even his God-Slaying Spear could do nothing to him.

But this Yin-Yang Daoist dared to use a mere Supreme-grade Innate Spirit Treasure millstone to clash with his God-Slaying Spear? Was it worthy?

No matter how supreme it was, it was still only an Innate Spiritual Treasure, not a supreme treasure! Yet it dared to meet his God-Slaying Spear head-on? Had Yin-Yang Daoist always been this brave?

The instant their gazes met, Yin-Yang Daoist shuddered. Without the slightest hesitation, he put away his damaged companion millstone, used the yin and yang energies to restrain Luohou, then wrapped himself in the Taiji Diagram and fled!

This was too brutal! How the hell was he supposed to fight this? Could that Heaven-Earth Daoist really be evenly matched with someone like this? Luohou had clearly tricked him!

Watching Yin-Yang Daoist turn and flee, Luohou gave a sinister laugh. The God-Slaying Spear swept aside the surrounding yin and yang energies, and a Twelve-Grade Black Lotus appeared beneath his feet as he pursued Yin-Yang Daoist.

He had originally intended to toy with him like a cat with a mouse, but Luohou's expression suddenly changed slightly as urgency rose within him. The Immortal Slaying Sword had also been taken! Two of the four swords had already been removed. If he delayed any longer, his situation would become dangerous!

With that thought, Luohou circulated his mana and accelerated after him.

Feeling the Demon Ancestor drawing closer behind him, Yin-Yang Daoist's eyes turned bloodshot, and his life began flashing before his eyes!

No, he absolutely could not die here today. He had even survived the World-Creation Calamity...

As he thought this, Yin-Yang Daoist forcibly expelled his essence blood and burned its power in an attempt to speed up. Yet no matter how hard he tried, the distance between himself and Luohou behind him continued to shrink!

Just as despair filled Yin-Yang Daoist's heart, he suddenly spotted a figure in the distance, and his eyes instantly lit up.

"Brother Hongjun! Save me!"

Not far away, a black-robed Daoist was frowning as he searched for the formation eye according to his divinations. Upon suddenly hearing that cry, his expression changed slightly, and he turned around. When Hongjun's Evil Corpse saw Luohou pursuing Yin-Yang Daoist, his nose nearly twisted with rage.

What kind of luck was this?

The Immortal-Slaying Sword on the side of the Kind Corpse had already been taken. The formation eye where the Self Corpse's Immortal Slaying Sword was located was the furthest away, and it had not arrived yet. He was just about to find the location of the Immortal Trapping Sword when Yin Yang had led Luohou straight to him?

At the same time, Luohou had also spotted the black-robed Hongjun's Evil Corpse. The moment he recognized the Evil Corpse, the immense karma between them allowed him to instantly deduce Hongjun's scheme, and he could not help but snort coldly.

"Hongjun, what a scheme you have! You brought three Daoists in to break the formation, making me believe that the three of them were your support! Yet in truth, you merely used them as bait to draw my attention. Your true support was these external incarnations forged from Spirit Treasures?"

"Your forging method is quite ingenious. An external incarnation can actually possess the power of a Mid-stage Quasi-Saint? Impressive!"

The Three Corpses Severing Method was a technique Hongjun had obtained from the Creation Jade Disc. Luohou did not know of it and merely assumed these were external incarnations forged from Spirit Treasures!

Upon hearing Luohou's words, anger instantly appeared on Yin-Yang Daoist's face.

"Hongjun, you used us as bait?"

Hongjun's Evil Corpse forced a smile.

"Can the Demon Ancestor's words be trusted? This old Daoist's incarnation only came because I feared you would be unable to hold on alone, Fellow Daoist. I came specifically to help you..."

As he spoke, Hongjun's Evil Corpse looked toward Luohou with righteous indignation.

"Demon, stop trying to sow discord!"

As he spoke, Hongjun's Evil Corpse unleashed a Spirit Treasure and charged forward, as though he truly intended to join Yin-Yang Daoist in resisting Luohou. Yet just as Yin-Yang Daoist relaxed, believing that Hongjun had truly come to help him...

Hongjun's Evil Corpse showed no hesitation. A Dao Seal condensed in his palm, and he viciously struck Yin-Yang Daoist in front of him.

Swish!

In an instant, Yin-Yang Daoist, together with the Taiji Diagram wrapped around him, was sent flying directly before the pursuing Luohou!

Then Hongjun's Evil Corpse activated his Spirit Treasure, transformed into a streak of light, and flew toward the formation eye whose location he had already discovered!

The battlefield fell silent for a moment. Luohou and Yin-Yang Daoist, who had been slapped before him, stared wide-eyed at each other. Neither had clearly reacted to what had just happened.

Half a second later, the two statue-like figures finally came to their senses. A mocking smile appeared on Luohou's face, and he could not help laughing aloud.

"Hongjun, you old Daoist, I underestimated you!"

As for Yin-Yang Daoist, the color completely drained from his already pale face after overexerting his mana. He let out a shriek filled with boundless hatred.

"Hongjun!"

That shriek, filled with towering hatred, echoed throughout the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, causing everyone within the formation to turn and look, unsure of what had happened.

A streak of azure light, however, sensed the cry from the formation eye where the Immortal Trapping Sword was located and flew toward this place.
