The two domains collided and were momentarily stalemated.

After Ding Huan's Divine Will penetrated, he immediately guessed who one of them was. It was definitely Mo Wuji. Without hesitation, he unleashed the Breaking Tribulation Blade.

The violent slaughtering sword intent raged wildly.

Pang Bozi's true self immediately sensed something was wrong and rushed out without hesitation, abandoning his opponent.

Puff!

A blood light burst apart as Mo Wuji's spear blasted into Pang Bozi's chest, a blood arrow spraying from his torso.

However, he swiftly controlled the killing Dao Rhythm of Mo Wuji's spear.

Boom!

At this moment, Ding Huan's blade landed in the space where Pang Bozi's true form was.

Space was torn apart by Ding Huan's blade.

To Ding Huan's surprise, Pang Bozi's true form didn't flee far, instead staring coldly at him and saying:

"This Daoist friend, I have no grievance nor hatred with you. Last time you interfered with my plans, and now you suddenly meddle in my private vendetta. Do you think that Pang Bozi is easy to bully?"

Ding Huan only now realized this guy was called Pang Bozi.

"Pang Bozi, back then I didn't provoke you, yet you pursued me across the universe with a hand seal. Do you think this matter is over? Mr. Huan tells you, it's just beginning."

Speaking, Ding Huan charged forward, his long blade once again raising a cloud of sword momentum.

He was certain Pang Bozi knew who he was, just pretending ignorance.

Pang Bozi grunted, not even utilizing the gray stone tablet this time, instead throwing a direct punch.

"Crack!"

Under this punch, Ding Huan's Sword Intent Domain shattered instantaneously.

The endless slaughtering saber momentum couldn't erupt and collapsed directly.

The violent killing Dao Rhythm rolled back, making Ding Huan's mind tremble.

Only after engaging did he realize the great gap between himself and Pang Bozi.

Ding Huan could no longer afford to hold back, his Tao Domain frantically surging, the Dao Yuan skyrocketing.

The Breaking Tribulation Blade, which had slowed, finally broke free from Pang Bozi's fist domain, sensing his aura.

"Hmph, it's nothing much after all," Pang Bozi left this remark, turned around, and unhurriedly stepped into the Void.

Evidently, that punch was just to test Ding Huan's limits.

"Thanks for your help..." Mo Wuji said, spitting out a column of black blood right after.

"You..." Only now did Ding Huan notice that Mo Wuji was injured, realizing had he not come, Mo Wuji would be in danger.

To be injured so severely yet remain unnoticed by others.

"I thought Pang Bozi feared us joining forces hence he fled. Now it seems I was overthinking," Ding Huan smiled bitterly.

One-on-one, Pang Bozi could definitely eliminate him with ease.

Mo Wuji's face was somewhat pale, he chuckled self-deprecatingly upon hearing Ding Huan's comment: "Earlier I too thought I could trouble him. If not for you coming, I'd be in danger today."

Ding Huan sighed:

"Earlier, I left a Daoist rhythm on his avatar intending to track and deal with him, almost getting countered instead."

Mo Wuji's tone turned solemn: "I've been chased by him for over a month yet couldn't completely escape his perception.

This was secondary; primarily, Pang Bozi's Tao had some issues, otherwise, I couldn't have escaped for a month."

Ding Huan's eyes widened.

He always thought Mo Wuji and Pang Bozi had a month-long duel without outcome, realizing now how whimsical he was.

It turns out, Mo Wuji had been hunted for a month.

No, if Pang Bozi could chase Mo Wuji for a month, it shows he could remove the Dao Rhythm Imprint left on him at any time.

Yet he didn't do so.

Even an idiot would know why the opponent didn't do it.

Clearly, it was a ploy to lure him in and take them both out.

Perhaps waiting for him was the reason Pang Bozi didn't eliminate Mo Wuji earlier.

But if that's the case, why did Pang Bozi leave instead of attacking when I arrived?

"Then why did Pang Bozi leave suddenly?" Ding Huan wondered.

Mo Wuji said: "After his exchange with you, realizing he couldn't handle the both of us, and given his Tao Foundation issues, he simply went back to perfect it.

Such people, even when facing immense grudges, will first ensure their safety if there's any threat.

Once his Tao Foundation is perfected, if we remain stagnant, even jointly we can't beat him. I am Mo Wuji, may I ask for your name?"

Ding Huan clasped his fists: "I acted because I guessed you were Mo Wuji. I am Ding Huan."

Mo Wuji looked at Ding Huan puzzled: "Mr. Ding, have we met before?"

Ding Huan laughed heartily: "We haven't, but your friends have met me."

"Who?" Mo Wuji asked immediately.

"Bai Yue, Emperor Zhong, Thick Trace God Emperor, they all know you. Oh yes, and Guan Huan."

Upon hearing Ding Huan mention Bai Yue and others, Mo Wuji knew Ding Huan was not lying.

Although he hadn't met Emperor Zhong and Guan Huan, these two had connections with his Mortal Dao.

"Ding Huan, this is not the place to talk. Let's find a quiet place to discuss. I'm quite injured and need to heal first."

Mo Wuji cultivated the Mortal Dao, and as soon as Ding Huan appeared, the Taoist Aura told him that this was someone worth befriending.

Moreover, Ding Huan knew people like Bai Yue, Guan Huan, and Emperor Zhong.

This made Mo Wuji not regard Ding Huan as an outsider, nor did he address him formally as Mr. Ding.

They chatted a bit and felt a sense of camaraderie as if they should have met sooner.

Ding Huan summoned the Cosmic Pot, and Mo Wuji stepped onto it without hesitation.

Landing on the Cosmic Pot, Mo Wuji said appreciatively, "This pot is quite nice, it shares some similarities with my friend's flying treasure, the Seven Realm Stone."

Ding Huan knew that while the Cosmic Pot had decent speed, it was still some distance away from the Seven Realm Stone in other aspects.

Now that Mo Wuji mentioned it, he said:

"Is the friend you're talking about Lan Xiaobu? I once went looking for you and Lan Xiaobu, but you both entered the Endless Void before me in search of the Creation Dao Principle..."

Ding Huan knew him, and also knew Guan Huan and Bai Yue, so it wasn't surprising he knew Lan Xiaobu.

Mo Wuji was more concerned that Ding Huan had also gone searching for the Creation Dao Principle: "Ding Huan, you went searching for the Creation Dao Principle too? Did you possibly find it and fuse it into your dao?"

Ding Huan nodded, "Yes, I found it and fused it, but not into my dao. I fused it into my magical treasure."

Mo Wuji sighed in relief and immediately said, "There are issues with the Creation Dao Principle. It contains other people's Dao Thoughts and Great Dao Intent.

This Great Dao Intent is hidden deeply, and once fused into one's own dao, it's disastrous and can't be removed even by Slaying Dao."

Not being able to remove it with Slaying Dao means reincarnation would be meaningless.

"I know, so I stripped away all the mottled Dao Thoughts and other people's Great Dao Intent."

Ding Huan agreed with Mo Wuji's statement.

Mo Wuji looked at Ding Huan in surprise. His ability to strip away the hidden Great Dao Intent within the Creation Dao Principle was because he cultivated the Mortal Dao.

His Mortal Dao was created based on himself, without a second version.

Therefore, he stripped away that Great Dao Intent through gradual principles of all things.

According to his conception, the Creation Dao Principle should have been born earlier than that intent; otherwise, that Dao Thought Intent couldn't have been expended on the Creation Dao Principle.

Thus, after constructing the Creation Dao Principle of his own Tao World, Mo Wuji stripped it away according to the derivation process of the Creation Dao Principle.

Any principle that didn't belong to the Creation Dao Principle itself was stripped away by his Mortal Dao.

Even if others knew his method, they couldn't replicate it.

Because this required starting from scratch with the Mortal Dao.

Any extra steps were stripped away by him.

Whereas Lan Xiaobu had a different method of stripping.

Compared to his method, Lan Xiaobu's way of stripping away the hidden intent of the Creation Dao Principle was simple and direct.

Any intent obstructing his path to longevity was false and was directly stripped away.

Lan Xiaobu could strip away the residual intent because his longevity Great Dao was entirely self-constructed, immune to any opposing Dao Thoughts and principles.

Mo Wuji originally intended to help Ding Huan strip away the Great Dao Intent left on the Creation Dao Principle, but since Ding Huan had already done it himself, he didn't mention it.

This involved the secrets of Ding Huan's dao. Although Ding Huan and he had compatible natures, it wasn't the same relationship he had with Lan Xiaobu.

So Mo Wuji proactively changed the topic:

"That Pang Bozi might not let this go. Previously, Lan Xiaobu and I faced off against him together, and even then, we couldn't defeat him.

However, our timing was precise, and we managed to damage his Tao Foundation. I believe to eliminate Pang Bozi, our strength needs to rise another level."

After chatting with Ding Huan for a bit, Mo Wuji increasingly realized that Ding Huan was the ally he and Lan Xiaobu were looking for.

Many things couldn't be clarified in a short time, but one Pang Bozi explained all the issues.

Ding Huan agreed with Mo Wuji's statement, "I was looking for you guys earlier to deal with Pang Bozi as well..."

Speaking of which, Ding Huan remembered something, "Wu Ji, you might be in danger."

Mo Wuji smiled wryly, "Ever since I arrived in the World of Gods, I've been in danger all the time. That Pang Bozi hasn't planned to let Xiaobu and me go.

If it weren't for him being afraid to go to the Fog Realm, we might have been taken down by him by now."

Ding Huan shook his head, "The danger I'm talking about is probably even more dangerous than Pang Bozi."

Mo Wuji looked at Ding Huan in confusion; something more dangerous than Pang Bozi?

Pang Bozi and Lan Xiaobu combined weren't opponents, so how to face something even more dangerous than Pang Bozi?

"This guy should be called Xin Changkong, and his cultivation is the Mortal Dao. Your cultivation of the Mortal Dao obstructs his, so I reckon he will certainly want to kill you.

And this guy should have emerged, though why he hasn't found you yet is something I find puzzling."

Ding Huan's words weren't mere speculation.

Just like he wanted to eliminate Huan and destroy Huan's cultivation of the Great Universe Technique.

In the vast realm, any top-level cultivation technique must originate from one source; if two emerge, a conflict is inevitable.
