Red Cloud Ancestor glanced at Yu Yuan and said sheepishly, "Fellow Daoist, why don't you take over?"

Yu Yuan knew his personality very well and didn't waste any words. He immediately transformed into a Giant Spirit God Palm and grasped the Taiyi Golden Immortal in his hand, saying coldly, "Since you seek death, then go ahead and die!"

With that, he slightly exerted force in his palm.

"Puff!"

A cloud of blood mist burst forth, and the Taiyi Golden Immortal was instantly crushed into a pile of mush.

A golden Primordial Spirit rose up, its once proud and tough face now filled with horror and fear.

He wanted to escape, but he was stuck, unable to move as if in a mire.

"You still have one last chance."

As Yu Yuan spoke, he gently twisted his fingers.

The Taiyi Golden Immortal immediately felt his Primordial Spirit about to be ground into ashes, one step away from soul and spirit annihilation.

"I'll talk! I'll talk!"

"The Star Fruit Tree is located in the Ancient Star Domain above the thirty-third heaven, protected by a Great Formation on the outskirts. Only when the fruits are nearly ripe, would the Demon Saint Shang Yang personally lead us to harvest, and the harvested Star Fruits would be sealed in Crystal Bottles and escorted to the Purple Jade Pill Room, to be refined into Elixirs, maximizing their effects..."

Under the threat of death, the Taiyi Golden Immortal spilled everything he knew without reservation.

"Had you spoken like this earlier, why would you have needed to damage your own body?"

Yu Yuan smacked his lips, and after letting him swear an oath to verify that he had not lied, he released his hand.

As for whether the other party would be punished for this afterward, it was no longer his concern.

He was not the good-natured fellow Red Cloud Ancestor was!

After finding out the hiding place of the Innate Spirit Root Star Fruit Tree, Yu Yuan and Red Cloud Ancestor immediately exited the orchard and sped towards the Ancient Star Domain.

Just then, a Black Iron Rod, thick as a mountain, stretched infinitely from atop a bright star ahead, poking towards Red Cloud Ancestor.

Red Cloud Ancestor quickly stretched out his hand, transforming it into a massive palm that covered the sky and met the iron rod, attempting to catch it.

However, upon touching Red Cloud Ancestor's hand, the space within a radius of a million miles began to shake violently and emitted crisp breaking sounds.

This was the Primordial Heaven and Earth shattering under the terrible force it could not withstand!

Red Cloud Ancestor's face changed dramatically, veins popping on his neck, gritting his teeth in arduous support, seemingly about to be overwhelmed by the terror of this immense strength.

Seeing Red Cloud Ancestor ambushed in an instant, Yu Yuan quickly raised his head to follow the iron rod.

He saw a desolate star, where a burly man in black armor looked at them with interest.

With a towering stature, bulging muscles, veins like steel, he resembled a mountain. His rough, uneven face bore deep brows and from under them shot sharp glints of light.

At that moment, he was frowning, holding the Black Iron Rod in one hand.

The other end of the rod had already swelled many times in size, resembling a mountain smashing towards Red Cloud Ancestor.

"What immense strength this fellow has!"

Red Cloud Ancestor could no longer hold out, hurriedly conjured the Nine-Nine Soul Scattering Gourd, releasing the Infinite Soul Scattering Sand to envelop himself.

With this treasure protecting him, he was just able to catch a breath.

Although he was quickly smashed away by the Black Iron Rod, he was uninjured thanks to the wrap of Three Souls Sand.

However, Yu Yuan's expression slightly changed, saying somewhat irritably, "Didn't I tell you to be careful and not to reveal your identity so easily? Using your Lifebound Spiritual Treasure this way, are you afraid people won't recognize you?"

"This..."

Red Cloud Ancestor's face turned red, embarrassed to admit he couldn't withstand a single strike from his opponent, and hurriedly said with a laugh, "It's fine, if anything, we'll just leave earlier."

Leave earlier?

Yu Yuan shook his head, thinking that if you could have kept your identity hidden, you might have had the chance to leave early, but now that you've exposed yourself, the nature of the situation is different!

This was courting death!

He could already imagine the mood of the higher-ups in the Demon Court upon discovering his origins.

They set up a Heaven and Earth Net waiting for you, and yet you delivered yourself to their doorstep!

Just as he expected.

As Red Cloud Ancestor brought out the Nine-Nine Soul Scattering Gourd, Bai Ze Demon Saint, who was hiding in the shadows, immediately brightened his eyes and did not hesitate to send a message notifying Demon Emperor Emperor Jun, ordering him to mobilize Donghuang Taiyi and others from the East Sea to return to the Heavenly Court to capture Red Cloud Ancestor.

At the same time, Yu Yuan also recognized the origins of the burly man wielding the Black Iron Rod.

This person is none other than the Ci Tie Demon Saint, one of the top ten Demon Saints of the Heavenly Court.

He is also the most ferocious killer among the many Demon Saints under the command of Demon Emperor Emperor Jun, with a true form resembling a water buffalo, but with giant horns, pitch-black fur, and an iron-eating diet; its excrement is a top-notch material for artifact refining.

Although he doesn't seem very conspicuous at first glance, he actually embodies the old saying: "The more ordinary someone looks, the more terrifying they usually are."

Born with a diet consisting of various metals and minerals, his body has been honed to a terrifying extent by countless essences of ores; with his physical strength alone, he can burst most of his peers of the same level.

Even among the Twelve Ancestor Witches, his physical strength would rank in the top tier!

"I wonder who it could be, turns out it's you!"

After a single strike forced Red Cloud Ancestor to use the Ninety-Nine Soul Scattering Gourd, Ci Tie Demon Saint also retracted his black iron rod, directing his gaze toward Yu Yuan shrouded in clouds, and spoke coldly: "Red Cloud has already shown his hand; are you still planning to hide? Let me guess, you wouldn't happen to be Zhen Yuanzi who claims to be as noble as the world itself, would you?"

Yu Yuan did not respond, merely looking at Red Cloud Ancestor: "You go first; I will cover your retreat."

Red Cloud Ancestor shook his head: "How could that be right, if anyone is to go, you should go first, and I will cover your retreat."

"Since you're all here, do you still think you can leave?!" Ci Tie Demon Saint sneered.

With that, he stepped through space and appeared in front of Red Cloud Ancestor, smashing down his rod right on his head.

Yu Yuan's gaze flickered, about to step in to help, when suddenly a familiar mountain and river scroll appeared in front of him—it was Bai Ze Demon Saint's treasure: the Mountain and River Map!

As the Mountain and River Map unfolded, mountains and rivers appeared before Yu Yuan's eyes.

He had unwittingly moved from the Endless Star Domain to within the Mountain and River Map!

Immediately after, Bai Ze Demon Saint's voice was heard.

"No matter who you are, just stay quietly within this Mountain and River Map."

…

Seeing the black iron rod smash down once again, and having already experienced the strength on the rod, Red Cloud Ancestor dared not take it head-on anymore. He quickly activated the Soul Scattering Red Sand, raising a spiral to protect himself, while also sweeping toward Ci Tie Demon Saint.

The two powerful experts went all-out upon engaging in combat.

Ci Tie Demon Saint's strength seemed endless, as if limitless, with each attack shattering the space around him, breaking through the protective barriers of Red Cloud Ancestor, forcing him to activate even more Soul Scattering Red Sand for defense.

He was not to be outdone and with his divine skills, conjured an Innate Li Fire Cloud towards Ci Tie Demon Saint.

However, the fire cloud exploded upon impact on the Demon Saint's body, merely sparking a series of flames.

Ci Tie Demon Saint smirked with disdain, his body was incomparably mighty, not even Daluo pure gold could compare to a single hair on his body—within the Three Realms and among the Five Elements, very few could harm him!

"Boom!"

The black iron rod slammed directly towards Red Cloud Ancestor's head with a terrifying force.

Red Cloud Ancestor took a deep breath, his body igniting in blazing flames so fierce that even the iron rod began to bend from the heat.

Ci Tie Demon Saint's eyes sparkled brilliantly as he forcefully retracted the rod and then punched out with his fist.

In an instant, the Primordial Heaven and Earth within a million miles began to explode.

Red Cloud Ancestor was also unyielding. With the spread of his left hand, he summoned a streak of azure light, smashing it down directly onto the top of Ci Tie Demon Saint's head.

Ci Tie Demon Saint did not dodge or avoid, letting the azure light fall on his head, while his own fist whistled towards Red Cloud Ancestor.

"Rumble!"

A loud noise echoed.

The azure light smashed on Ci Tie Demon Saint's head, sparking a sky-reaching sea of fire.

And Ci Tie Demon Saint's fist struck right at Red Cloud Ancestor.

With a muffled sound, the entire Star Domain began to tremble, as if on the verge of collapse.

Red Cloud Ancestor, even more so, let out a pained scream as he was sent flying backward, with countless muscles and bones broken throughout his body.

And yet, this was only because he had been continuously protected by the Soul Scattering Red Sand barriers in front of him.

Had it not been for this Spiritual Treasure's protection, Red Cloud Ancestor's body would likely have been shattered by now.

"Ninety-Nine Soul Scattering Gourd, is that all you've got?"

Ci Tie mocked with a sneer.

He did not address Red Cloud Ancestor but merely mentioned the Ninety-Nine Soul Scattering Gourd, clearly regarding Red Cloud Ancestor as nothing but an incompetent one who could only rely on Spiritual Treasures.
