"Start reeling in?"

Hearing the words spat out by Golden Boat, the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Demons was stunned, thinking, "What does he mean by 'time to reel in'?"

On the distant city walls, Li Qingming was also taken aback, then fiercely clapped his hands, exclaiming, "Damn it, I knew this old bastard Golden Boat wouldn't just capture Huntian and his gang to release them afterwards! After all this fuss, he was waiting for us here, using us as his pawns. That's utterly shameless!"

Shakyamuni and Yin Xi also appeared pensive, as if they had come to a realization.

It was different for Long Xuhu and Man Niu, these two simple-minded creatures. They were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, constantly circling Li Qingming, their mouths muttering nonstop: "Big Senior Brother, what does Golden Boat City Lord's words mean?"

Li Qingming shook his head with a wry smile, saying, "This old bastard Golden Boat just captured Huntian and his crew. He released them right after sending us off. I reckon he must have also shared the news about the 'Tao Origin Qi' with Huntian! As for his purpose, of course, it's to lure over Huntian's backer!"

"What?"

Long Xuhu and Man Niu lost it, raging, "Damn it, I knew this old geezer was no good! Using us as scapegoats..."

Li Qingming cut them off, "Alright, alright! It's done, what's the point in making a fuss about it! Watch the battle closely. It's not every day you see a clash between peak powers!"

...

"Old bugger, you damn betrayed me!" The Ancestor of Ten Thousand Demons had clearly figured it all out too, his face darkening as he took the initiative.

"Clang"

The Ancestor of Ten Thousand Demons, dressed in his crimson battle robe, held the jet-black Dragon Spear in his hand and thrust it forward. His movements weren't very fast, but they were filled with intense Rule Power fluctuations.

"Directly infusing the Power of Death Rule into the Dragon Spear? Indeed, that Dragon Spear must be his Creation Item; otherwise, it couldn't possibly withstand such power!"

Li Qingming's eyes shone as he stared at the gleaming black Dragon Spear, feeling the fluctuations that made his hairs stand on end and giving him a strange sense of threat.

This was the external display of power of an Innate Treasure, captivating and awe-inspiring!

"Hum!"

The Void collapsed, the Great Dao resonated, and from the torn Void, countless strands of Starlight fell, forming a vast Star Sea, merging with the Dragon Spear that pierced through the Heavenly Vault, reaching Golden Boat City Lord's forehead in the blink of an eye.

Is this the full might of a Half-step Heavenly Dao? Truly terrifying!

Everyone's hearts were captivated by the Dragon Spear and Star Sea; this thrust contained so much Power of Death Law, mixed within the Star Sea, incredibly vast, with nearly every strand possessing the power to destroy Heaven and Earth and reshape Chaos!

"Clang!"

Just as the Dragon Spear was about to pierce the forehead, Golden Boat City Lord made his move!

He emitted a dazzling golden light all over his body, and with the operation of the Nine Revolutions Mystical Skill, his figure suddenly shot up to about nine feet tall! He raised his vajra-like, splendid right hand and powerfully struck at the world-destroying Dragon Spear!

An earth-shattering blow – the pitch-black Dragon Spear was stopped dead by the golden fist, unable to advance an inch!

This Golden Boat is even more terrifying than the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Demons! Both are great powers at the Half-step Heavenly Dao Realm, but one wields an Innate Treasure while the other uses his bare fists; it's clear who is superior!

The Ancestor of Ten Thousand Demons was extremely shocked; his full-force strike was so easily neutralized by the opponent, a single fist preventing his Supreme Treasure from advancing any further. It was so horrifying that it was beyond belief, unbelievable if you were to tell others!

Jade, Ancestor of Ten Thousand Demons struggled fiercely as he once again channeled Demonic Qi and the Power of Death Rule into the divine weapon.

In an instant, demonic energy swirled within a hundred miles, with strands of the Power of Death Rule lingering atop the dragon spear, aiming to pierce through the brow of the Golden Boat City Lord.

Yet, all his efforts were in vain; he couldn't budge the golden fist in the slightest.

Thus, the two were locked in a stalemate.

As time ticked by, the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Demons grew increasingly irritable and restless.

With a fierce grit of his teeth, two luminescent demon dragons crawled out of his hollow, empty eyes, carrying a surging aura of slaughter as they stormed into the dragon spear.

"Pfft!" A soft sound rang out as the dragon spear drilled into the golden fist as easily as if it were piercing through a sheet of window paper.

The Ancestor of Ten Thousand Demons twisted his mouth into a wild smile, thrusting the long spear through the brow of the Golden Boat City Lord, boring a hole right through his skull.

"Hahaha! Golden Boat, weren't you formidable? Still, you've died by my hand!" The Ancestor of Ten Thousand Demons withdrew the long spear and burst into a loud, wild laughter, the epitome of arrogance!

Poor Wan Mo failed to notice that, after his long spear bored through the Golden Boat City Lord, not only did no blood plasma seep through the hole, but not a single drop of blood flowed out.

"What are you laughing at?"

Suddenly, a voice like a nightmare echoed beside the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Demons, followed by a second, a third...

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"...

One by one, twelve identical Golden Boat City Lords appeared around the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Demons, each repeating: "What are you laughing at?"

The wildly laughing Ancestor of Ten Thousand Demons finally came back to his senses. Although he couldn't see, he instinctively aimed his hollow gaze toward the Golden Boat City Lords cloned by Zhou Zao, wondering in his mind, "An Array? When exactly did he lay out this Array? How did I not notice at all!?"

"Wan Mo, are you surprised?" the twelve Golden Boat City Lords said in unison. "The moment you forced the two demon dragons out of your eyes, I had already completed the Array! This Array is called the Dutian Illusion Demon Array. Each of these twelve Golden Boats possess one-fifth of my real body's battle strength. You're on your own now!"

"Despicable!" Ancestor Wan Mo roared furiously, spinning his long spear to stab at one of the Golden Boats.

"Whoosh!"

The long spear seemingly lost all its accuracy, easily dodged by the Golden Boat City Lord, who also took the opportunity to strike the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Demons in the chest with a palm.

"Pfft!"

Caught off guard, the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Demons spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his complexion turning hideous in an instant.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it!" The Ancestor of Ten Thousand Demons wiped the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth, screaming in rage while continuously slapping his chest, spitting out blood.

...

"What the hell, has this old thing gone mad? Why take such a brutal approach?" Long Xuhu shouted in alarm from afar upon the city wall, startled by the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Demons' frenzied state.

Li Qingming, observing the deep crimson blood spat out by the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Demons, which however did not fall to the ground, furrowed his brows and said, "Something's wrong! This old creature has roamed the Central Heaven Worlds for countless eons; he wouldn't give up so easily! Plus, his method reminds me of how we in Pangu's Great Thousand World execute Secret Techniques!"

As if confirming Li Qingming's words, inside the Array, the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Demons spewed out twelve mouthfuls of blood, each cluster the size of an infant's fist.

With his face deathly pale, he performed Curse Seal gestures with his hands and let out a sudden, harsh cry: "Blood Demon Guard, arise!"(To be continued.
