Duan Gujin knew that the situation was urgent. He was afraid that the Array Setter who had laid out various arrays here would sense something was wrong and rush over at high speed.

Thus, it was impossible for him to find other Martial Artists to help him distract those Two-Colored Yellow-Headed Pythons.

How to distract the Pythons was something he had to figure out by himself.

After Duan Gujin recovered his Primordial Power, he immediately returned.

When he approached within fifty meters of the Nine-star Divine Tree, the nine Two-Colored Yellow-Headed Pythons pounced at him together aggressively.

Duan Gujin's eyes flashed, and he immediately thought of a plan.

He would gradually lure away the Two-Colored Yellow-Headed Pythons.

Once he led them to a certain distance, he would return to the vicinity of the black tripod and then destroy it with all his might.

The previous incident had been too sudden; he had no time to think about how to deal with the black tripod.

Now he had a method; he thought of using the Heavenly Emperor Bell to collide with the black tripod.

He was also very clear in his heart that the black tripod in front was by no means a common object and it should be very hard to break.

But whatever happened, he wanted to give it a try. If it unfortunately resulted in the Immortal Origin Fruit ahead being destroyed, he could only sigh that it was not fated to be his.

Duan Gujin knew that his strength was far inferior to those Two-Colored Yellow-Headed Pythons, unless he had a lot of Gold Titanium Flying Knives. Otherwise, even if he sent all the Flying Knives tempered with Hell Ice Flower towards the Pythons, he would not be able to kill even one of them.

The Scale Armor of those Pythons was not only hard as iron, but also exceptionally smooth, which would deflect the Flying Knives he shot at them.

Knowing this, he changed to throwing stones at the Two-Colored Yellow-Headed Pythons.

His purpose in doing so was merely to enrage the Pythons so that they would chase after him.

Indeed, once enraged by him, all of the Pythons charged up, intending to tear him to shreds.

Duan Gujin calculated the distance and when he was sure that he had led the Pythons away from the Nine-star Divine Tree by a full kilometer, he circulated his Primordial Power and executed the Heavenly Demon Nine Steps, rapidly dashing towards the location of the black tripod.

In the next moment, his body appeared beside the black tripod.

He immediately took out the Heavenly Emperor Bell from the storage ring, infused it with Primordial Power, and let the Bell directly strike the black tripod head-on.

With a booming sound, the black tripod was hit and a large chunk of metal flew off.

Then, with another loud bang, the black tripod was blasted into pieces, completely destroyed.

Seeing the black tripod turn into such a state, Duan Gujin was overjoyed. It turned out that he had overestimated the fearsomeness of the black tripod; he hadn't expected it to be so easily destroyed.

Duan Gujin first retracted the Heavenly Emperor Bell, then his body flashed, transforming into a streak of light as he rushed into the Nine-star Divine Tree ahead.

He saw the Immortal Origin Fruit, decisively plucked it, and then executed the Heavenly Demon Nine Steps, escaping the area at high speed.

At this moment, the nine Two-Colored Yellow-Headed Pythons transformed into nine tornadoes, speeding towards him furiously.

They knew how important the Immortal Origin Fruit was to them, and when they sensed that Duan Gujin had plucked the fruit, they immediately didn't hesitate to exhaust their Life Essence as the price to make Duan Gujin leave the fruit behind.

Hissing sounds filled the air as nine black figures suddenly appeared in the Void, also able to traverse through space just like Duan Gujin.

However, compared to Duan Gujin's execution of the Heavenly Demon Nine Steps, they could only cross a distance of a hundred meters at most.

Afterwards, as the Primordial Power in their bodies was almost depleted, they were exhausted and panting, no longer able to catch up to Duan Gujin.

And at this time, Duan Gujin had already executed more than ten Heavenly Demon Nine Steps and was far away from that area.

"At last, the heavens do not disappoint those who have hearts!"

Duan Gujin quickly consumed a drop of Ten-thousand-year-old Divine Milk, and after making sure there were no powerful enemies nearby, he sat down cross-legged, recuperating to restore his Primordial Power.

Two hours later, his Primordial Power returned to its peak state.

However, he did not consume the Immortal Origin Fruit here to break through the sixth Martial Meridian.

He knew that breaking through the sixth Martial Meridian would definitely be very difficult, and there were various powerful Demon Beasts roaming around here.

If some Demon Beasts with strength comparable to the Martial Emperor Realm sensed his presence while he was in seclusion, and they rushed over, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Duan Gujin was very clear in his mind that he could not take this risk.

Therefore, he decided that he should find a very secluded place, free from Demon Beast disturbances, to properly cultivate. His next task was to find the Blood Evil Qi here.

Just as Duan Gujin was about to leave, suddenly, he sensed energy fluctuations of Martial Saint Level erupting in the Void ahead.

"There are Martial Saint Realm members of the Devil Clan up ahead?"

His complexion changed drastically, his heart filled with shock as he quickly concealed his life aura, not wanting the creatures ahead to detect his presence.

Just as he was speculating about the identity of the beings ahead, he suddenly sensed an overwhelming Divine Sense Inspection Energy sweeping past.

"How strong Divine Sense Inspection! Such terrifying Divine Sense Viewing Energy must be emanating from a Martial Saint Realm life!"

His heart thumped violently. He was merely a Martial Artist with Cultivation at the Martial Sect Realm, whereas there existed a Martial Saint Realm life form ahead of him. In terms of strength, there was at least a difference of two Great Realms between him and the creature ahead.

Generally speaking, such a disparity in strength, where the enemy is two Great Realms stronger, meant that one is utterly dominated and the other, the dominator.

"Why would there be a Martial Saint Realm life form here?"

Duan Gujin thought to himself.

This time, he refrained from using Divine Sense Inspection to probe the enemy ahead, fearing he might instead be discovered instead.

So, he immediately activated a Secret Technique, making his body as unremarkable as a stone, devoid of any life aura.

Moments later, he felt a powerful Qi sweep over him without pausing at all.

He judged that the other party hadn't discovered his presence—if they had, that powerful Qi would have lingered on him a bit longer, observing him for a while.

But since the Qi moved on after passing over him, it was clear the creature had not detected his existence.

Indeed, just as Duan Gujin had surmised, the Martial Saint Realm being ahead had not noticed him.

After sweeping over Duan Gujin, the creature expanded its search area elsewhere.

"Damn it! Who is the devil that stole my Immortal Origin Fruit? I, Yan Heng Demon Saint, will not let you off!"

A while later, Duan Gujin heard a deep voice coming from the distant sky.

After hearing this, he immediately gasped in shock.

"So the Immortal Origin Fruit I just snatched was indeed owned by a Demon Saint here!"

The thought of having provoked a Demon Saint in this place made him feel uneasy.

He was acutely aware of the vast difference between himself and a Demon Saint and had not anticipated offending a local Demon Saint as soon as he entered Hundred Saints Mountain, without even finding the Blood Evil Qi.

He couldn't help but lament his terrible luck!

Yet, thinking of the benefits the Immortal Origin Fruit brought him, he felt the risk was very much worth it. At least for now, the Demon Saint ahead had not noticed his presence.

Time passed by second by second, and fifteen minutes later, Duan Gujin stopped sensing any strong energy presence ahead.

He heaved a sigh of relief and wanted to flee immediately.

However, after further thought, he decided it was best to wait a little longer, as he wasn't in a particular rush.

Thus, he remained still, continuing to mimic a stone.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he suddenly sensed a strong Qi abruptly appearing nearby in the Void.

"That's a Martial Saint-level Qi!"

Once he confirmed the appearance of a Martial Saint nearby in the Void, Duan Gujin dared not even breathe too heavily, afraid of being detected.

This time, the Martial Saint life form released its Divine Sense once again to inspect the surroundings.

Duan Gujin, as always, retracted all life aura within him, letting his Body resemble a corpse, completely devoid of any sign of life.

Almost immediately afterward, Duan Gujin detected that Martial Saint life form's inspection on his body passed without lingering.

Although he felt the Martial Saint life form probably hadn't noticed him, he didn't drop his guard and maintained the stony facade.

After a while, the Martial Saint life retracted its Divine Sense Inspection and finally left the area.

Only after sensing that the Martial Saint life form had departed did Duan Gujin completely relax.

The presence of that Martial Saint life form had exerted a mighty spiritual pressure on him, causing a terrifying chill up his spine.

He knew that the Martial Saint life form hadn't targeted him specifically with that spiritual pressure; it was intended to intimidate the surrounding Demon Beasts.

Feeling the dreadful spiritual pressure emitted by that Martial Saint life form, all nearby Demon Beasts kneeled on the ground, quivering, and dared not move the slightest bit.

The Martial Saint life form was using this method to determine if any of the nearby Demon Beasts had stolen its Immortal Origin Fruit.

After confirming that there weren't any other Martial Saint Realm experts nearby, the Martial Saint life form immediately left the area to search elsewhere.
