"Damn bugs, don't run!" The Evil Demon's furious voice carried far and wide, carrying with it a terrifying power.

But Shen Ge wouldn't stop there; he continued to lead the other person toward their destination.

However, Shen Ge was able to handle things with ease when he was only in the Nascent Soul Early Stage, but as the Evil Demon's strength recovered to the Nascent Soul Late Stage, Shen Ge began to have some difficulty.

He had originally intended to linger with that thing a little longer, but he didn't know if he had bullied it too much or what, but the Evil Demon's strength recovered extremely quickly. If this recovery speed continued, it probably wouldn't be long before it recovered to the point of being at the Spirit Severing.

"No, this can't go on. I have to increase my speed, or that thing will tear me apart."

After releasing all unnecessary defenses, Shen Ge's speed increased several times, but this was not his fastest speed, since he did not dare to use the Yin-Yang Roaming and Ghost Mist Escape of the Samsara Method.

And so it went, a chase and a flight. Along the way, some people and evil creatures died at the hands of that Evil Demon, but these were just casual killings it committed while pursuing Shen Ge. As long as they didn't stand in its way, it wouldn't care.

About two hours later, a remnant soul suddenly darted out from the black mist in front of Shen Ge. It was so fast that Shen Ge didn't even have time to react before colliding with it.

About ten breaths later, Shen Ge's body suddenly trembled, followed by a burst of golden light and the sound of Dao. He glanced at the black mist emanating from his body with a gloomy expression.

This remnant soul was unlucky. It still had the strength of the Spirit Severing Early Stage, but of all people, it chose Shen Ge. Putting aside the fact that Shen Ge's Samsara Method was effective against remnant souls, there was still a being within him who was suspected to be a Dao Ancestor.

However, after being delayed by this remnant soul for more than ten breaths, the Evil Demon caught up.

"Bug, got you?"

Shen Ge suddenly moved, narrowly avoiding the Evil Demon's massive hand that lashed out at him. Looking at this Evil Demon, which was as large as a mountain, Shen Ge sneered and pointed a finger, saying, "Go!"

A Sword Qi Long River flew from Shen Ge's fingertips, striking the Evil Demon's arm with a series of clanging sounds. The attack looked quite powerful, but it didn't even break through the Evil Demon's defense.

"Insect, you've weakened." The Evil Demon sneered, then opened its mouth and spat out a flame that burned towards Shen Ge. The terrifying flame instantly spread rapidly along the surrounding black mist, turning the area into a fiery inferno in the blink of an eye.

Fortunately, Shen Ge's physical strength was quite good; otherwise, even with various defensive techniques, he wouldn't have been able to hold out for long.

Just as Shen Ge was charging around, a group of people flew over, and they couldn't help but show a hint of horror in their eyes when they saw the terrifying flames.

"Look! What's that monster inside, bigger than a mountain? And there's a person inside too!"

"Is this monster the one that was rumored before? It's truly terrifying."

"Is this some kind of Demon Beast? It doesn't really look like Demon Beast; its aura feels very strange."

"Hey, is this the time to discuss this?" A young-looking girl frowned. "There's a fellow cultivator inside; we have to save him, or he'll die."

This woman was Zhu Huanying from the Zhu Household Snow Moon City. She was only at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage stage, which made her one of the better young members of the Zhu Household.

"That thing is probably at the Peak Nascent Soul, how are we supposed to save it?" A black-clad man not far away said coldly, "The strongest among us is only at the Nascent Soul Late Stage. Going to face that thing is just courting death!"

"Besides, to put it bluntly, he's dead, so be it. After all, we weren't close to him. There's no need to trade one of our lives for his."

"Yes, Sister Ying, let's leave him alone and get out of here first. Otherwise, if that person gets cornered and attracts the monster, it'll be troublesome." The others also advised, none of them wanting to meddle.

"But..." Zhu Huanying was about to say something when a surprised exclamation came from the side, "Look! That person has actually escaped from the sea of fire!"

The strongest man standing nearby, Nascent Soul Late Stage, changed his expression slightly and hurriedly shouted, "Stop looking! Run!"

The others also realized what was happening and ran away in a flash. Zhu Huanying glanced in the direction Shen Ge had fled, then turned around and ran after them.

"Damn bugs!"

Evil Demon a roar of fury, a massive lava boulder suddenly crashed down on the hill where Zhu Huanying and her group had just been standing, destroying the entire hill.

"Good heavens, it failed to catch the person and let them escape, yet it dares to take its anger out on us. What a scoundrel!"

"Luckily we ran fast, otherwise that thing might have come back to take its anger out on us."

"Stop talking nonsense. This area is far too dangerous; it's no longer a place for us. Let's get out of here."

On the other side, Shen Ge was flying at high speed. He had just been delayed by this Evil Demon. If this continued, he was afraid that he would return to the Spirit Severing Realm before reaching his destination.

That won't do, so Shen Ge stopped holding back and immediately used the Jin Yun Escape technique of the Spirit Moon Sect.

After fleeing for about 35 minutes, seeing that the distance between them was not only not increasing but was actually decreasing, Shen Ge really didn't intend to hold back this time. He directly used Yin-Yang Roaming, and his speed immediately increased by another three points.

Originally, Shen Ge did not plan to use this in front of the Evil Demon. After all, the Evil Demon had seen through his Samsara Method and had been chased and forced to hide. He really did not want to live a life of hiding again after just arriving in this place.

The Evil Demon that had been relentlessly pursuing Shen Ge suddenly narrowed its enormous, blood-red eyes. "This is... the aura of Samsara!"

"You insect, stop right there!" the Evil Demon roared suddenly, its massive body increasing its speed even further. At the same time, the surrounding demonic Yao Qi formed a vortex that kept drilling into its body.

"Damn it, we recognized it after all. It's just a Samsara Method, why are you all making such a fuss?"

Shen Ge couldn't understand why those Evil Demon were so fixated on the Samsara Method. Although it was good, they didn't seem to need it at all.

However, despite not understanding the situation, Shen Ge had no intention of stopping his questioning.

Four more hours passed before Shen Ge finally lured the Evil Demon to the designated location.

Glancing at the deep pit below, churning with black mist, Shen Ge plunged in. Soon after, the Evil Demon followed closely behind. However, the pit was a bit too small to accommodate its mountain-like body, so it shrank its size to enter.

Moreover, his current strength is only one step away from the Spirit Severing Realm.

Once it recovers to the Spirit Severing Realm, this insect will have no chance of escape, and the Samsara Method on the insect's body will also be inescapable.
