Du Hong felt a sense of relief as he saw Mo Wuji's fist freeze mid-air, his expression turning blank. If his Divine Split technique couldn't even break through the other party's primordial spirit, he would have to retreat today. His Divine Split had even killed mid-stage Immortal Emperors before; there was no way Mo Wuji, just a mere Immortal Reverent, could withstand it. It seemed that the other party had indeed failed to block his Divine Split technique.

"Ant, die for me," Du Hong shouted, stepping forward to stand right in front of Mo Wuji and reaching out to grab at Mo Wuji's glabella.

Mo Wuji was so young, yet he was not only an eighth-grade Pill Emperor but also such a powerful Immortal Reverent, and even a body refiner in the late stage of God Physique. He was certain that Mo Wuji possessed secrets, and not small ones at that. This trip to Beyond the Heavens Market had caused him some pain, but it was worth it.

When Du Hong's hand was still a few meters away from Mo Wuji's glabella, he suddenly felt the space around him freeze, his body suddenly fixed in place for that instant.

"Not good, I've been tricked," Du Hong realized in an instant that his Divine Split technique had not affected the other party's primordial spirit. The reason why the other party's fist had suddenly stopped was because that fist was a spatial imprisonment technique, which didn't even need to be thrown out.

Du Hong was right. That punch from Mo Wuji was indeed a spatial imprisonment technique. He knew that even as an Immortal Reverent, this technique could only imprison Du Hong for half an instant. But that half instant was enough, because his River of Forgetfulness had already torn apart Du Hong's physical body.

A sense of death washed over him, and Du Hong's eyes turned bloodshot as he roared, "Explode for me..."

"Puff!" The silver River of Forgetfulness descended, and Du Hong's entire body was reduced to minced meat under Mo Wuji's River of Forgetfulness technique.

"Boom!" At the same time, Du Hong's Divine Split Whip exploded.

A terrifying aura filled the entire space, and a powerful force surged over. Mo Wuji felt as if his entire body had been struck by the heaviest of iron hammers.

The gravel on the Gobi desert cracked, and Mo Wuji was blasted directly into the ground. He could clearly hear the sound of his bones shattering.

Mo Wuji felt a sense of relief. He knew that if he wasn't in the late stage of God Physique, Du Hong's self-destruction of his Divine Split Whip before his death would have killed him. Even if it hadn't killed him, it would have destroyed his physical body.

But even as he was in the late stage of God Physique, he was still severely injured. The bottom line was that the difference in their cultivation levels was too great.

Mo Wuji took out several pills and swallowed them, his spiritual will immediately enveloping the surrounding space. He captured an extremely weak primordial spirit, and with a wave of his hand, he gripped the primordial spirit in his hand.

"Spare my life; you can name any condition," Du Hong's primordial spirit was extremely weak at the moment. He had wanted to escape during the self-destruction of the Divine Split Whip, but Mo Wuji's River of Forgetfulness technique was too terrifying. Not only had the technique shattered his physical body, but it was also constantly shaving away his primordial spirit and soul.

As expected, before he could escape, Mo Wuji had already captured him. He regretted it deeply, regretting coming here to wade into muddy waters. Would someone who dared to open a pill shop in Beyond the Heavens Market and steal business be simple? At the same time, he was very clear that it would be difficult for him to preserve his life today.

Mo Wuji said coldly, "I will not spare anyone who wants my life. Moreover, you even blew up your ring and magical treasures. I don't know what reason I can find to spare you."

Du Hong's heart sank, "Mo Wuji, if I wasn't so eager to kill you and fell for your trick, even if you were strong, you wouldn't be able to kill me. My strength can even kill mid-stage Immortal Emperors, much stronger than that Kuang Jin. Now I can swear on my soul that as long as you save..."

Mo Wuji interrupted Du Hong, "If I wasn't afraid of being backlashed by the divine ability, I would have used the Life and Death Wheel to kill you long ago. Would I have waited for you to self-destruct your Divine Split Whip?"

As he spoke, Mo Wuji tightened his immortal essence, and Du Hong's primordial spirit directly collapsed and turned into nothingness.

Mo Wuji hadn't really lied to Du Hong in the end. He was worried that Du Hong's strength was too strong, and that using the Life and Death Wheel would cause a backlash on himself.

However, after experiencing today's battle with an Immortal Emperor, Mo Wuji was even clearer that his most pressing need now was not to continue improving his cultivation level, but to fully utilize his spiritual will in battle as soon as possible.

If his spiritual will could also participate in battles, it would have been much easier for him to kill Du Hong today. Also, his Life and Death Wheel divine ability, if it could be slightly changed, instead of one life and one death, it would become his great killing weapon. Sometimes, it wasn't necessarily stronger to kill the opponent in one shot. Conversely, if he could use the Life and Death Wheel to severely injure the opponent in battle, it would still be a top-tier divine ability.

...

Outside the Immortal Mortal Pill Shop in Beyond the Heavens Market, thousands of shop owners were gathered, demanding that the shopkeeper of the Immortal Mortal Pill Shop come out and explain. Otherwise, they would directly break into the Immortal Mortal Pill Shop.

"Lord Prefecture Master, should we go over now?" Lang Bi, standing on the periphery, asked Teng Feiyan in a low voice.

Teng Feiyan smiled faintly, "Of course not. We'll go over when the Immortal Mortal Pill Shop is breached and the items are being looted."

Lou Si was also somewhat dazed. Right now, she was the only one in the entire Immortal Mortal Pill Shop. Facing so many shop owners who wanted to rush into the Immortal Mortal Pill Shop, even if she activated the Trapping and Killing Formation, she wouldn't be able to withstand it.

"Everyone, listen to me..." Despite her unease, Lou Si could only stand up at this moment.

The surging and agitated shop owners hadn't yet forcibly attacked the Immortal Mortal Pill Shop, but Lou Si knew that it wouldn't be long. As long as there was a catalyst, everyone would swarm in.

Lou Si used her immortal essence to send out her words, causing the surging crowd to pause slightly. She quickly seized the opportunity and shouted loudly, "My Immortal Mortal Pill Shop is here for all those immortal friends who want to buy pills and seek pill refinement. Other shops are jealous of us for providing benefits to everyone, and they can't earn black-hearted green crystals, so they want to attack my Immortal Mortal Pill Shop. Once my Immortal Mortal Pill Shop is attacked, not only will everyone not be able to buy cheap immortal pills here in the future, but even those immortal friends who have paid green crystals will be drawing water with a bamboo basket and unable to recover their own green crystals..."

Lou Si stopped after only saying these words. These were all taught to her by Mo Wuji. If these words didn't work, then she would activate the Trapping and Killing Formation and defend.

Mo Wuji also knew that Lou Si wasn't a good speaker, so he didn't teach her anything else after teaching her these words. If it were him, even if these words couldn't stop the numerous shop owners, he would have other things to say.

Sure enough, as soon as Lou Si finished speaking, the thousands of immortals waiting for immortal pills outside the Immortal Mortal Pill Shop also surged up. They had all paid green crystals, and where would they go to get their green crystals back if the Immortal Mortal Pill Shop was smashed?

As these thousands of immortals who had paid green crystals stood up, some immortals who had come to buy pills also joined them.

The shop owners were immediately dumbfounded. They had never expected that the Immortal Mortal Pill Shop could mobilize such a powerful force.

These people who had come to the Immortal Mortal Pill Shop to seek pill refinement were not easy to deal with. They were all elites who had survived on the cosmic wall battlefields.

Some shop owners who wanted to fish in troubled waters quietly retreated. There were originally not as many shop owners as people who had come to the Immortal Mortal Pill Shop to refine pills. Some people retreated, immediately causing a chain reaction. In a short time, all the gathered shop owners had retreated.

A seemingly surging robbery and riot had not yet risen and was scattered by a few words.

Teng Feiyan, who was watching from afar, had a somewhat gloomy expression. Lang Bi, standing next to Teng Feiyan, sighed and said, "This shopkeeper of the Immortal Mortal Pill Shop is really not simple. So, he asked these people in line to pay ten green crystals, and there was this effect."

Lang Bi was indeed somewhat impressed. When Lou Si stood up to speak, he thought that Lou Si was going to give these shop owners an explanation. However, he was very clear that even if the Immortal Mortal Pill Shop promised to move immediately, it wouldn't be enough. What he didn't expect was that Lou Si not only didn't give an explanation, but also scolded these shop owners.

"Lang Bi, if that Mo Wuji returns to the market, please invite him to meet with the Market Prefecture Master. I want to meet this person." Teng Feiyan didn't answer Lang Bi; he just said something unrelated.

"I know Du Hong. Although he's just an early-stage Immortal Emperor, he's infinitely close to mid-stage Immortal Emperor. It's even said that his Divine Split Whip has killed a mid-stage Immortal Emperor expert. No matter how strong Mo Wuji is..." Lang Bi didn't continue speaking. He knew that Teng Feiyan knew what he meant.

Teng Feiyan sneered and said, "That Mo Wuji could even think of the other shop owners uniting to riot. Would he not have thought of Du Hong's strength? Since he knows Du Hong's strength, but still dared to take Du Hong out of Beyond the Heavens Market, what do you say is the reason? It's not that Du Hong is weak, but that Du Hong, like me, simply didn't take that Mo Wuji seriously before. If it were me, if I was sure that Mo Wuji's strength wasn't Immortal Emperor, I would still follow Mo Wuji out of the market."

As an Immortal Emperor, how could Teng Feiyan not know that the gap between Immortal Reverent and Immortal Emperor was vast? If Mo Wuji really killed Du Hong as an Immortal Reverent, then he was probably the most powerful Immortal Reverent in this universe.
