Duan Gujin naturally wouldn't believe the words of the Jialuo Demon King; his Demonized Martial Soul lunged towards the Jialuo Demon King.

The raging flames quickly engulfed the body of the Jialuo Demon King, which let out an incredibly piercing scream.

Moments later, it flashed its body and dove into the nearby Nine Nether Dark Sea.

Seeing the Jialuo Demon King trying to flee, Duan Gujin's brows furrowed as he intensified his attack on it.

The void once again erupted with violent explosions, and the firelight illuminated the entire void.

Swoosh!

However, within that blaze, Duan Gujin saw the Nine Nether Dark Sea turn into a shadowy afterimage, rapidly dashing forward into the void.

"Damn it! It's trying to escape!"

His complexion shifted dramatically as he transformed into a streak of light and shot out.

Yet, he found that the speed of the Nine Nether Dark Sea ahead was too fast; no matter how he spurred his Primordial Power, he just could not catch up.

Before, he had expended a lot of Primordial Power to drive his Demonized Martial Soul, and after a rapid pursuit for a while, the Primordial Power inside him was completely drained.

He could only stop, helplessly letting out a sigh.

"The Nine Nether Dark Sea's flying speed is really too fast!"

Below, the crowd was dumbstruck as they looked up into the sky, and when they saw Duan Gujin forcing the Jialuo Demon King to retreat, they all cheered wildly.

Soon after, the powerhouses from the Qiankun Continent sensed the disappearance of the binding energy of the Imprisonment Space ahead, and they transformed into bolts of lightning, rushing towards Duan Gujin.

Zhu Ge Hongyun reached Duan Gujin's side and hurriedly asked, "Duan Gujin, how are you now?"

Duan Gujin said, "I'm alright for now. I've just nearly drained my Primordial Power. That Jialuo Demon King has escaped!"

"Oh, then you should take a good rest! We will chase after it!"

Zhu Ge Hongyun said.

"No need, the Nine Nether Dark Sea controlled by the Jialuo Demon King is too fast! I don't know if it has any schemes, so it's best if you all don't chase after it!"

Only now did Duan Gujin realize that the Nine Nether Dark Sea controlled by the Jialuo Demon King had the ability to run at great speed, and he estimated that even at his peak state, he probably would not be able to catch up with the Nine Nether Dark Sea.

He believed the Jialuo Demon King must have been greatly injured by him, but he could not guess what other abilities the Nine Nether Dark Sea in the Demon King's hands might have. If these Qiankun Continent experts fell into the Demon King's trap, there might be a shocking turn of events.

"Do not pursue a desperate enemy! If you go after it, it might do something crazy!"

Duan Gujin hastily urged Zhu Ge Hongyun to stop the others from chasing the Jialuo Demon King.

After listening to him, Zhu Ge Hongyun turned into a shadowy figure.

In a few moments, he reached the front of the team and stopped the other experts from pursuing the Jialuo Demon King.

"Let's not chase after that Jialuo Demon King! There might be a conspiracy!"

Those who were at the forefront heard Zhu Ge Hongyun's words, found them to make a lot of sense, and did not pursue the Jialuo Demon King.

Previously, the Spatial Confinement released by the Jialuo Demon King had isolated them all within an Imprisonment Space, and its terrifying ability was enough to instill fear in them.

They did not want to fall into the Jialuo Demon King's trap. If they were to be trapped in an Imprisonment Space, surely no one would be able to break through and release them.

Then, within the Imprisonment Space, they would be at the mercy of the Jialuo Demon King, and they would not be able to defeat their opponent while trapped in the Imprisonment Space like Duan Gujin did.

"Duan Gujin, how are you now?"

After a short time, Shang Yumin stepped forward to inquire about Duan Gujin.

Her beautiful eyes looked towards Duan Gujin, filled with admiration.

She had seen many young people before, and in her heart, those young men were arrogant, thinking themselves invincible in the world despite lacking true ability.

Yet now, seeing the eighteen-year-old Duan Gujin, whose cultivation had broken through to the Martial Monarch Realm, she felt a profound shock.

"Rest assured, I'm fine! Everything is still good, don't go after that Jialuo Demon King, its own strength is questionable, but that Nine Nether Dark Sea in its hands is truly terrifying. I have no idea what astonishing abilities the Nine Nether Dark Sea has. So, please tell the others not to venture recklessly!"

Duan Gujin said.

"Okay! I'll stop them immediately!"

Shang Yumin sent her subordinates to inform everyone not to pursue the Jialuo Demon King.

Soon, with Zhu Ge Hongyun and Shang Yumin's subordinates blocking them, those experts didn't chase after the Jialuo Demon King.

"Five days later, I will need Miss Shang to lead the way!"

Duan Gujin said.

"Alright, we'll head back right now!"

Shang Yumin immediately had Zhu Ge Hongyun take good care of Duan Gujin, and then she led the others back to the Qiankun Continent.

Half a day later, everyone had returned to the Qiankun Continent.

They found an open space by the coast, and everyone sat down cross-legged to rest and recover their Primordial Power.

One day later, Duan Gujin finally recovered to his peak state.

High in the mountains of the Qiankun Continent, the Jialuo Demon King, who had previously fought fiercely against Duan Gujin, was resting and recuperating in a secluded spot in the mountains.

"That Human Clan scum! If I catch him, I'll tear him to pieces! I'll eat his flesh, drink his blood, and pull out his tendons!"

Thinking of Duan Gujin, the Jialuo Demon King gnashed its teeth in hatred.

As time trickled by, after a day and night of recovery, it had only regained a tiny fraction of its Soul Power.

"This is bad! It seems I am unlikely to recover my Primordial Power! My physical condition is too dire! Han Zhanyi, why hasn't he arrived here yet?"

Just as it felt indignant that Han Zhanyi had not yet arrived, it sensed a part of its own aura nearby and immediately knew that Han Zhanyi had arrived.

"Come over!"

The Jialuo Demon King immediately sent out a signal to the Netherworld Treasure Pearl on Han Zhanyi.

Upon receiving the signal from the Jialuo Demon King, Han Zhanyi quickly came before it.

"Jialuo Demon King, the souls you asked me to collect are all here!"

Han Zhanyi said as soon as he saw the Jialuo Demon King.

"Good, hand the Netherworld Treasure Pearl to me!"

The Jialuo Demon King said.

Without any hesitation, Han Zhanyi immediately handed over a bead the size of a fist to the Jialuo Demon King.

If Duan Gujin were here, he would definitely recognize that bead as the Netherworld Treasure Pearl.

The Jialuo Demon King absorbed all the trapped souls inside the Netherworld Treasure Pearl into its body, and after a while, it said: "That feels so good! Han Zhanyi, I truly don't know how to thank you."

Sensing the aura on the Jialuo Demon King burst forth after absorbing the souls trapped within the Netherworld Treasure Pearl, Han Zhanyi was certain that the Jialuo Demon King had definitely devoured, absorbed, and refined those souls.

"Jialuo Demon King, please teach me more of your ultimate skills!"
