"Boom!" Mo Wuji's boundless river of momentum crashed against the peak of the most unyielding mountain. The river's artistic conception instantly dissipated, and endless halberd glows exploded. Yet, the mountain remained unscathed.

A surge of violent immortal essence power rushed over, and Mo Wuji coughed up a mouthful of blood. He immediately felt his meridians begin to crack, and his vitality seemed to be drawn into a dark vortex, threatening to pull him away.

With just one move, and before it was even over, a powerful sense of weakness washed over him.

Mo Wuji was secretly horrified. What was this guy's cultivation level? His strength, when used in the form of a powerful river, was like an egg smashing against a rock.

He had to retreat. If he didn't, he would be swept away by this spiraling immortal essence and lose his life. But in the next moment, Mo Wuji realized he was overthinking things. Even though the dark-skinned man hadn't made a move against him yet, he couldn't retreat at all.

A powerful domain had trapped him. He could only wait for death, and that feeling of helplessness filled Mo Wuji with a deep sense of frustration.

He had once thought that after advancing to Immortal King, he could even contend with weaker Immortal Sovereigns. But after encountering a truly powerful expert, Mo Wuji understood that he was still frighteningly weak.

"Boom!" Another wave of immortal essence exploded, and Mo Wuji felt himself loosen. He saw Da Ning's Zen staff tear apart the dark-skinned man's domain.

"Thanks, Monk," Mo Wuji said as he quickly escaped the other's domain space. He was certain that this dark-skinned, Yin Qi-filled guy was a Great Immortal Emperor, a very powerful Great Immortal Emperor.

"Mo Wuji, hurry and help! I can't beat this guy alone. Where did this fellow crawl out from? How is he so strong?" Da Ning's Zen staff whipped up a hurricane of immortal essence waves, controlling an area of several dozen miles, yet he still said he couldn't beat this dark Yin Qi-filled fellow.

Mo Wuji didn't need Da Ning Monk to tell him. His vortex domain directly overlapped Da Ning Monk's domain. Compared to other people's domains, Mo Wuji's domain could be overlapped at will.

Sure enough, even though this dark Yin Qi man's domain could tear apart Da Ning Monk's domain space, his domain was immediately suppressed when Mo Wuji's domain was superimposed.

"Good brother, your domain is amazing! Teach me when we're done with this black devil." Da Ning Monk frantically unleashed immortal essence to clash with his opponent while still remembering to ask Mo Wuji to teach him his domain.

Mo Wuji didn't have time to pay attention to Da Ning Monk. He knew this black devil was powerful. His strength was great, but compared to the black devil, he was lacking by more than just a little.

He grabbed out countless array flags and continuously set up a trapping and killing array in the surrounding space. Mo Wuji had a premonition that he had to kill this black devil, or there would be endless troubles later on. His cultivation was insufficient. His greatest strengths now were not his cultivation but his Dao of Alchemy and Dao of Array. The Dao of Alchemy couldn't be used in battle, but the Dao of Array could be.

"Who are you? How can a mere Immortal King be unharmed under the tearing of my Yin Domain?" the black devil's chilling voice came. Although Mo Wuji's cultivation was very low, he still didn't pay attention to Da Ning. Instead, he focused his gaze on Mo Wuji.

His eyes were like two ghastly white lanterns, emitting an eerily penetrating light.

Mo Wuji sneered inwardly. His cultivation was weak, but his physical body was at the sixth level of his God Physique. If a mere domain could tear him apart, wouldn't he be too trash?

At this moment, the man whose physical body had not yet recovered, who had been saved by Mo Wuji, also came to his senses. He only rested in place for a few breaths before joining the battle, calling out, "Brother Mo, you've helped me once again."

Mo Wuji's trapping and killing array had already taken shape. He didn't directly activate the trapping and killing array. Instead, he continued to inscribe void array patterns in the void outside the trapping and killing array. He wanted to set up a strangulation array that ordinary people wouldn't be able to detect.

"Haha, Senior, you're too kind. Back in the third level of the Broken World, if not for your guidance and protection, I might have fallen outside the Golden House long ago, or in that mist. I just happened to be here today, so it's only right to help. I still don't know what Senior's name is," Mo Wuji said with a laugh.

This man with the vaguely visible body was the statue that Mo Wuji had seen when he entered the third level of the Broken World. At the time, Mo Wuji had re-erected the statue and even helped the statue find some of its limbs.

Later, at the Golden House, a voice reminded Mo Wuji and even saved him. Mo Wuji suspected at the time that it was the statue he had pushed up that had saved him.

Today, when he heard the familiar voice and saw the vaguely visible body of the man whose physical body had not yet recovered, he knew he wasn't mistaken. These two were indeed the same person.

"Brother Mo, don't call me Senior. My name is Gu Yongxiao. We can reminisce later. This person's origins are extraordinary. We must get rid of him today, or there will be endless troubles." Gu Yongxiao spoke while summoning a pair of brushes, which he furiously slammed towards the dark-skinned man.

"Why is this black devil so powerful? Who exactly is this guy? What troubles will there be if we don't get rid of him?" Da Ning Monk asked Gu Yongxiao while attacking wildly.

Gu Yongxiao urgently replied, "That's right, this person is indeed a black devil. His name is Yuan Jie, and he's the Soul Detaining King of the Seven Nether Palace."

"What? This black devil is actually one of the Seven Kings of the Seven Nether Palace?" Upon hearing this, Da Ning Monk's attacks clearly rose to another level, obviously going all out.

Mo Wuji didn't know what the Seven Nether Palace was. He only had a feeling that he absolutely couldn't let this Yuan Jie go. He sensed the Yin Qi on Yuan Jie's body and subconsciously began to add lightning arc attacks to his trapping and killing array.

"Jie jie..." Yuan Jie suddenly let out a series of "jie jie" sounds, and his aura suddenly soared. "Want to kill me, the Soul Detaining King? Keep dreaming..."

This guy was about to leave. Mo Wuji sensed it as soon as Yuan Jie's aura rose.

He unhesitatingly activated his trapping and killing array, and he accelerated the inscription of array patterns for the strangulation array. Streaks of lightning were integrated into the strangulation array.

"Boom!" Yuan Jie tore apart Mo Wuji's trapping and killing array with just one impact. The endless blades and sword energies were like tickles to Yuan Jie.

But the last wave of lightning arcs made him pause. Even though the lightning arcs couldn't severely injure Yuan Jie, they left streaks on his black skin.

Yuan Jie was in a hurry to escape. His domain was shattered under the tearing of the three people's domains.

"Pfft!" Almost at the same time that Yuan Jie paused, Da Ning Monk's Zen staff directly brought up a cloud of grey blood from Yuan Jie's waist.

Gu Yongxiao also didn't miss the opportunity. Two black brushes directly pierced into Yuan Jie's temples.

Yuan Jie cried out miserably, and the iron chains in his hand directly pierced through Da Ning Monk's shoulder. Da Ning Monk also had a streak of tenacity. Not only did he not retreat, but the Zen staff in his hand transformed into a half-moon arc hundreds of feet long. The arc, in the overlapping domains of him and Mo Wuji, directly locked down Yuan Jie's escape space.

Chants of Buddha's name came from the arc. Even though they weren't aimed at Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji still felt as if a hammer was striking deep within his heart. He was secretly shocked. This monk was extremely powerful.

Obviously, Da Ning Monk had used his trump card at this moment. After learning of Yuan Jie's origins, he developed a killing intent towards Yuan Jie.

Yuan Jie's iron chains suddenly exploded, turning into rings of small chains that locked down the hundreds of feet long arc. The chants of Buddha's name instantly decreased. Yuan Jie's body also exploded, and a faint shadow rushed out again.

If he didn't know that the trapping and killing array set up by Mo Wuji was so powerful, he wouldn't necessarily be in a hurry to leave. Even if he wanted to leave, it would be at a leisurely pace. Now that he sensed the terror of Mo Wuji's trapping and killing array, if he was trapped by the lightning arcs again for half a breath, his life would be lost here under the joint efforts of Da Ning Monk and Gu Yongxiao.

"Kacha kacha kacha!" Streaks of lightning nets exploded, and Yuan Jie's figure, who had shed a layer of flesh, appeared within these nets.

Mo Wuji's second strangulation array had just been set up when it locked down Yuan Jie's body. Mo Wuji was also secretly horrified. He had seen many cultivators who shed their physical bodies to protect their primordial spirits. But this was the first time he had seen a guy like Yuan Jie, who shed the first layer of his physical body and still had a second layer.

If he wasn't with Da Ning Monk today, encountering a powerful opponent like Yuan Jie, he would have no other choice but to escape.

Da Ning Monk and Gu Yongxiao didn't waste any time and pounced over frantically. The Zen staff and brush shadows slammed down simultaneously, and Yuan Jie cried out miserably, "You dare to kill me..."

"Boom!" Whether they dared to kill him or not, Da Ning Monk and Gu Yongxiao's attacks had already arrived, and Yuan Jie's second physical body was shattered again.

Da Ning Monk's Zen staff also tore apart Yuan Jie's chains at this moment. A faint golden flame sprayed out, and Yuan Jie no longer had any signs of life.
