Duan Gujin originally thought that his Cultivation could completely allow him to surpass his previous life's self.

But after comparing himself with Zhao Wuji now, he discovered that the gap in strength between him and Zhao Wuji was extremely vast.

"I will do my best to push my Cultivation up!"

He did not dwell on it too much, knowing that Zhao Wuji's depth is unfathomable, and even few experts in the Immortal Domain could do anything to him.

Facing such a formidable individual, he knew his current Combat Power was utterly useless in front of the other party; all he could do was to enhance his Cultivation as quickly as possible with all his abilities.

He had thought that his Body had been tempered enough, but now he saw black liquid still flowing out of his body.

That black liquid indicated that impurities were being expelled from his body, reaching a more perfect realm.

"Unexpectedly, my Body can still become further refined!"

Duan Gujin remarked, very clear in his heart that the more refined the inner body of a living creature, with each bit of flesh existing in the form of energy, the stronger its burst of Combat Power would be.

He circulated his Primordial Power, absorbing, devouring, and Refining the pure energy of heaven and earth flowing over from the lake in front.

Time unknowingly passed, and after three days, he suddenly felt his whole body violently tremble.

"Wonderful, I've finally broken through to the Ninth Level Martial Emperor!"

His heart filled with great joy, he used his Divine Sense to internally view his soul sea, confirming that his Cultivation had indeed broken through to the Ninth Level Martial Emperor.

He quickly calmed himself, knowing that he was at the most critical moment of Leveling.

"Next, I will level up to Martial Saint!"

Time flowed like water, swiftly passing.

Five days later, Duan Gujin suddenly felt a strange sensation; it was as if his Divine Soul had left his Body, merging incredibly well into the surroundings.

He no longer felt the pain experienced during previous Leveling; instead, his Divine Soul was in a state of extreme comfort.

He felt as if his Divine Soul was drifting in the clouds, feeling light and carefree.

Meanwhile, Duan Gujin was secluded and Leveling up, unbeknownst to him that outside the Concealing Array where Miao Yu was located, a large group of the Devil Clan from Xuankong Mountain had gathered.

The reason her hiding place was discovered was due to a Devil Clan slave who escaped here, eventually drawing the watchful guards of the clan over.

Upon finding a peculiar Array here, they sent a large number of Devil Clan Miners into this place.

After numerous Devil Clan Miners fell to the Killing Array, the watchers realized the seriousness of the situation, and they reported these events to the Suspended Holy Mother.

Hearing this, the Suspended Holy Mother immediately dispatched Devil Clan scouts into the area.

These Devil Clan scouts arrived ten days after Duan Gu broke into seclusion.

At this point, Miao Yu had already noticed that many parts of the Killing Array outside the Concealing Array had been destroyed, realizing that many powerful members of the Devil Clan must have appeared outside.

Just as she suspected, at that time, a Demon Saint stationed outside the Concealing Array was dismantling the Killing Array.

The Devil Clan guards at this place were waiting for the Devil Clan scouts from Xuankong Mountain; they were well aware that if a terrifyingly powerful enemy was in front, they would stand no chance.

Their purpose here was not to destroy the entire Concealing Array and Killing Array, but to surround the area, awaiting the arrival of reinforcements.

Though the Killing Array outside the Concealing Array was not completely destroyed, Miao Yu always felt a sense of fear in her heart for some reason; she knew that the Devil Clan capable of damaging the Killing Array were certainly not ordinary.

She prepared for battle, ready to fight to the death against those invading Devils.

"I wonder how he is doing now?"

She let out a breath, a hint of decisiveness flickering in her eyes.

Just fifteen days after Duan Gujin entered seclusion, four elders of the Shattering Sky Realm finally arrived here.

The four Shattering Sky Realm elders released their Divine Sense, examining the Concealing Array and Killing Array before them, then they decided to use the simplest and most direct method to destroy those arrays.

They raced along, their powerful demonic energy of the Shattering Sky Realm bursting forth continuously, directly obliterating the Concealing Array and the Killing Array.

And just as Miao Yu inside the Concealing Array learned through her sensing talisman that a large number of Killing Arrays and Concealing Arrays were being destroyed in a short time, she knew for certain that there was a formidable enemy breaking through.

Her brows tightly knitted, and after a while, she truly sensed four terrifyingly powerful presences of Demon Energy ahead.

"Those are demons of the Shattering Sky Realm!"

Her face paled dramatically, and she was inwardly alarmed. With only the Cultivation of the Martial Emperor Realm, she knew she was no match for a Demon Saint, let alone defeating four demons of the Shattering Sky Realm.

Her mind began to race, aware that she had to make a decision immediately.

Soon, she saw four extremely terrifying demons quickly approaching her.

Her current location was very close to the lake where Duan Gujin was, and he had already planned for her to head towards the lake if she encountered a powerful enemy.

At that moment, without hesitation, she immediately dashed towards the lake.

She concealed her demonic power, taking steps towards the front.

If she were to release her demonic power, the gravity she would face now would become extremely strong.

The gravity would increase gradually according to the Cultivation of the living creatures that intruded.

The stronger the Cultivation of the intruding living creatures, the stronger the gravity pressure they would suffer.

Conversely, the weaker the Cultivation, the weaker the gravity pressure.

Miao Yu now concealed her demonic power and strove to move forward.

Although the gravity pressure on her had already increased, she was still bearing it.

If she had maintained her previous level of demonic power, the gravity pressure she would be facing now would be tens of times what her Body could currently withstand.

The four Shattering Sky Realm elders saw a Female Demon escaping ahead and hastily pursued her rapidly.

But as they entered the area where the gravity pressure took effect, they sensed gravity pressure at least a hundred times stronger bearing down on them.

They drastically changed their expression and immediately lowered their own strength to the Martial Emperor Realm.

The four Shattering Sky Realm elders had been to the Endless Canyon before, and had explored this place, so they were very aware of how terrifying the gravity pressure here could be.

"The Female Demon has fled in there!"

"Let's spread out, don't concentrate too much!"

At this time, the four Shattering Sky Realm elders became extremely cautious, fully aware of the horror of the gravity pressure in the area ahead.

Because even though their Cultivation had broken through to the Shattering Sky Realm, they found they had no means to get past the gravity pressure up ahead.

After Miao Yu entered about three kilometers from the edge of the lake, she was gasping for breath, drenched in sweat, and was on the verge of collapse.

She immediately consumed a drop of Ten-thousand-year-old Divine Milk and recuperated on the spot.

An hour later, she saw four demons appear behind her.
