Summoning the Gods: Start by creating the Eternal Night.

"Shi Haochi, your strength is really pathetic."

Xue Wutian looked at Shi Haochi, who was sent flying backward, his tone full of mockery.

"Even those cultivators who have just broken through to the level of a terrestrial immortal are a bit stronger than you."

"You are truly a disgrace to the terrestrial immortal realm."

He truly hadn't expected Shi Haochi to be so weak.

He casually punched him away, leaving him no chance to resist.

Shi Haochi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a sinister glint flashing in his eyes, but he forced a smile and said:

"Hmph! I'm not good at hand-to-hand combat, so it was expected that you would send me flying."

"But now that we've created some distance, this is my home turf! Let me show you how much I've improved over the years!"

On the surface, he appeared imposing, but in reality, he was already planning his escape route, while simultaneously transmitting his thoughts to the man in black:

"You still want that treasure? Quickly go and hold off that old bastard Hua Wuxin! If I am defeated, take me away from Qiongzhou immediately!"

The man in black robes said coldly, "Fine."

Before he finished speaking, he had already blocked Hua Wuxin's way, clearly intending to prevent him from interfering in the battle between Xue Wutian and Shi Haochi.

Seeing this, Xue Wutian sneered:

"Ha! Another trick from thousands of years ago. Do you think I'm still the same person I was when I was severely injured back then?"

"I wonder if your skills have improved even a little over the past few thousand years."

He suffered a serious injury during their fight back then, which is why he was at a disadvantage against Shi Haochi. Looking back now, he just finds it laughable.

"Xue Wutian, you're still as arrogant as ever!"

Shi Haochi roared and quickly formed hand seals.

"Then let me show you my ultimate move!"

"—A thousand armies in illusion! A hundred generals descend! Appear!"

At his command, countless talismans shimmering with spiritual light flew out from his sleeves.

In the air, they transformed into countless illusory figures of cultivators, armed with all sorts of weapons.

Like a thousand horses, they roared and charged towards Xue Wutian.

"Hmph! A mere trick!"

Xue Wutian scoffed disdainfully, his demonic energy surging within him.

It transformed into a gigantic, blood-red hand that blotted out the sky and slammed down on Shihao Pool below.

Those illusory figures of cultivators were like paper under the giant palm, instantly turning into ashes.

Immediately afterward, under Xue Wutian's watchful gaze, Shi Haochi was slapped into ashes by the giant palm.

"Is that all?"

Xue Wutian frowned slightly, his heart filled with doubt.

He had anticipated that Shi Haochi would be weak, but he hadn't expected him to be this weak, unable to even withstand a single move from him.

"wake up!"

Just then, the Blood Demon Ancestor's icy voice pierced into Xue Wutian's ears like a thunderclap.

He snapped back to his senses and was horrified to find that his giant hand was still slamming into the ground, creating a huge crater.

Shi Haochi's figure was suspended in the air, a smug smirk on his lips.

"I fell for your illusion."

Xue Wutian's eyes sharpened, and he dared not be careless again.

If it weren't for that "wake up" just now, I'm afraid I would have suffered a terrible fall in the illusion, which would have been truly embarrassing if word got out.

Shi Haochi's expression turned somewhat grim when he saw that his most proficient illusion technique had been easily broken.

He transmitted his voice to the man in black again: "Watch my signal. As soon as I trap him, we'll run away!"

"Xue Wutian's strength is too terrifying. If we continue fighting, we'll all die here!"

"it is good."

The man in black robes agreed, but a hint of ill intent flashed in his eyes.

He had already sensed that there was another aura of a terrestrial immortal not far away, clearly belonging to Xue Wutian's side.

"Xue Wutian, you are indeed very strong."

Shi Haochi took a deep breath, his expression becoming extremely serious, and his aura began to turn strange and terrifying.

"But with this move, I will definitely kill you!"

Xue Wutian felt a chill and dared not be careless. He activated his cultivation to the fullest extent, and the pressure of a late-stage terrestrial immortal suddenly erupted.

Two powerful forces collided in the sky, and streaks of purple lightning emerged at their point of intersection, creating a terrifying and extremely eerie spectacle.

"Better to sacrifice my fellow Daoists than myself! I'd better slip away!"

The man in black robes caught a glimpse of the two people about to collide in mid-air, and sensed the aura of the hidden terrestrial immortal. He dared not linger any longer.

He suddenly broke free from Hua Wuxin and turned to run.

No matter how good the treasures promised by Shi Haochi are, you have to be alive to get them. He didn't want to be tricked to death by Shi Haochi here.

As for Shihauchi? Good luck to him.

"Where do you think you're going!"

Hua Wuxin shouted angrily and quickly chased after him.

At this moment, everyone's attention was drawn to the great battle between Xue Wutian and Shi Haochi.

Apart from Hua Wuxin, who was chasing after him, and the Blood Demon Ancestor lurking in the shadows, no one noticed the black-robed man's escape.

Shi Haochi and Xue Wutian's auras have reached their peak.

"I don't know how you forcibly advanced to the late stage of a terrestrial immortal, but with this move, I will definitely take your life!"

Xue Wutian stared at Shi Haochi, his blood-red giant palm condensing once more, carrying a world-destroying force.

"Black Robe, now's the time! Make your move!"

Shi Haochi unleashed his full power.

While scanning the original location of the black-robed man with his divine sense, he only saw emptiness.

"Damn that black-robed guy! He ran away ahead of time! He's a complete bastard!"

Shihauchi was both shocked and furious that he had been abandoned by his allies at such a critical moment!

"It's no use calling anyone, just die!"

Xue Wutian's crimson giant palm slammed down.

At the same time, a sharp sword shadow shot out from the shadows; it was the Blood Demon Ancestor making his move!

If he hadn't wanted Xue Wutian to take revenge himself, he would have already killed Shi Haochi.

The palm prints and sword shadows intertwined, instantly crushing Shi Haochi completely.

The disciples of the Brightness Cult and the Joyful Union Cult who were affected in the surrounding area were turned to ashes before they even had a chance to react.

"Zhenxiang, I've avenged you."

Xue Wutian gazed at the spot where Shi Haochi had vanished, a hint of relief mixed with a touch of melancholy flashing in his eyes.

The Blood Demon Ancestor patted him on the shoulder:

"Leave this to Tianchou. We'll go help Hua Wuxin and kill that man in black robes too."

"it is good."

The two moved swiftly, tearing through space and chasing after the black-robed man in the direction he had fled.

At this moment, in the Hehuan Sect's group, a Hehuan Sect disciple watched Xue Wutian and the Blood Demon Ancestor leave and muttered to himself:

"I didn't expect there to be a master in the shadows, and that damned Xue Wutian, I didn't expect him to be so strong now."

"Luckily, I had a backup plan!"

Then, the Hehuan Sect disciple revealed a strange smile! He thought to himself:

"Hahahaha, Xue Wutian, you failed to kill me today, but I will make you pay a hundredfold in the future!"

....

Tens of thousands of miles away, on the border of Qiongzhou.

The man in black robes looked at the terrifying mushroom cloud rising on the horizon behind him and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Luckily we ran fast, otherwise we would have died there. That idiot Shi Haochi is probably already ashes."

He looked towards the mountains not far away, which marked the border between Qiongzhou and Yongzhou.

"Hahaha, once we cross this mountain, we'll be in Yongzhou territory. Even if they chase after us, they won't be able to do anything to me."

The man in black robes laughed wildly and leaped towards the mountains.

"Hmph, this is the time I've been waiting for!"

"Prison of Desire! Arise!"

Hua Wuxin, who had arrived a step ahead of the man in black and was lying in ambush, saw this and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

It immediately arouses the other person's lustful desires, condensing them into an invisible cage.

The cage was incredibly strange; the more the man struggled, the tighter it tightened, instantly trapping the man in black inside.

"Hua Wuxin?!"

The man in black robes was startled by the sudden appearance of the cage.

He never expected that Hua Wuxin would set up an ambush here!

He secretly exerted his strength, trying to break the cage, but found that the cage was exceptionally tough and could not be shaken for a while.

"Black robe, there's no need to struggle anymore."

Hua Wuxin walked out slowly, her tone icy.

"You can't escape today."

"If you obediently surrender and come back with me to reveal your identity, you may be spared physical punishment."

"Ha ha!"

The man in black robes burst into wild laughter, revealing his arrogant face.

"Having dominated the world for so many years, how many times have I been besieged by powerful figures?"

"You're still living a good life, aren't you? Do you really think I can't break out of this lousy cage?"

Knowing that things couldn't end well today, he stopped wasting words and focused all his energy on breaking free from the prison of desire.

Hua Wuxin looked at him coldly.

Although he was a mid-stage terrestrial immortal, it was quite difficult for him to capture a black-robed man of the same level.

They could only hope that this cage of desire could hold the other party for a little longer until the Blood Demon Ancestor and the others arrived.

A few minutes later, with a crisp "crack", the cage of desire was forcibly broken open by the man in black robes.

He grinned maliciously and pounced on Hua Wuxin, and the two instantly engaged in a fierce battle.

A moment later, Hua Wuxin was already ragged and covered in blood, clearly having suffered a great loss.

"Hahaha, Black Robe, you can't escape! My eldest and second brothers are here!"

Although Hua Wuxin was in a sorry state, her eyes gleamed with excitement.
