The Battle of the Three Pure Ones Ends, the Primordial Measure Heaven Ruler Appears

Only then did everyone, including Tai Yi, suddenly realize the truth.

Indeed, this fellow Hong Yun seemed even more proficient in the Great Sun Law than Tai Yi. He had even offered Tai Yi guidance when they discussed the Dao earlier.

At this thought, everyone was suddenly shocked.

If Hong Yun could seize Tai Yi's divine ability, then could he similarly seize theirs?

Tai Yi's expression shifted unpredictably.

All his divine abilities had been developed on the foundation of the Great Sun Law. Wouldn't that make him completely countered by Hong Yun?

"I don't believe it!"

Hong Yun shrugged. "This is simply the truth. If Daoist friend doesn't believe this poor Daoist, there's nothing I can do."

"Then take another move from me!"

Tai Yi raised his hand, and countless blossoms of Solar True Fire appeared in the void once more.

After he changed his hand seals, three thousand fire crows wreathed in blazing flames took shape. The noisy cries of countless birds filled the sky.

"Go!"

The three thousand fire crows transformed into streaks of scarlet meteors and charged over.

Seeing that Tai Yi still refused to believe him, Hong Yun smiled. He raised his right hand and waved his sleeve at the three thousand fire crows.

A golden radiance scattered from his sleeve into the void. With a flip of his hand, the fire crows still speeding through the air suddenly stopped one after another, just like the True Fire Great Sun earlier.

"Go back!"

The three thousand fire crows transformed into meteors once more and rolled back. Tai Yi was so startled that he hurriedly used the Chaos Bell for defense.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

The three thousand fire crows slammed heavily into the restrictions of the Chaos Bell, sending countless sparks flying, yet they could not pass through the restriction as thin as a cicada's wing.

This time, Tai Yi truly believed him!

To seize control of his divine ability with a flip of his hand, Hong Yun was indeed somewhat terrifying.

"To what degree has his comprehension of the Great Sun Law reached?"

Tai Yi felt somewhat conflicted. He admired Hong Yun's comprehension, yet he was also unwilling to accept that his own years of painstaking cultivation could not compare to another's.

"How about it? Daoist friend Tai Yi, why not admit defeat directly and save this poor Daoist the trouble of making a move?"

Hong Yun's casual words immediately enraged Tai Yi.

Tai Yi's temperament was incredibly proud. It would not be so easy to make him voluntarily admit defeat.

"If Daoist friend wants to win, you should first break through my Chaos Bell!"

Tai Yi snorted coldly. Then, he urged the Chaos Bell with his divine sense, activating the Laws contained within the supreme treasure to attack Hong Yun.

As the saying went, the Great Dao was formless. The intangible, shapeless sound waves released by the Chaos Bell quietly swept over, immediately causing Hong Yun's Primordial Spirit to issue a warning.

This was something Tai Yi had been unable to accomplish even when he had attacked with all his strength earlier.

"Nine Revolutions Heavenly Merit! Law of Heaven and Earth!"

After a quiet murmur, Hong Yun's immortal, ethereal figure suddenly transformed into a mythical giant tens of thousands of meters tall.

Facing the Chaos Bell's attack, he did not dare to be careless in the slightest. His body turned Dark Gold, and he swung his right fist, carrying immense force as he punched toward the sound waves released by the Chaos Bell.

Over the years, Hong Yun had also used many comprehension fragments to perfect the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Merit.

This Merit Technique could now be said to cultivate both the inside and the outside. It had even produced all kinds of inconceivable divine abilities: Rebirth from a Drop of Blood, Law of Heaven and Earth, Indestructible Vajra...

"Boom!"

A deep, muffled sound rang out from Hong Yun's fist as it struck the sound waves.

The overwhelming force made Hong Yun's enormous body retreat three steps uncontrollably, while Tai Yi, who was bracing the Chaos Bell, was also blasted back a thousand kilometers.

"Hahaha, again!"

Hong Yun shook his numb fist and laughed wildly. Once more, he drew on the strength hidden within his body, raising iron fists as large as mountains and repeatedly smashing them toward the Chaos Bell.

"Clang! Clang! Clang..."

Countless fist shadows slammed down onto the bell, causing violent peals to ring out.

In the space between Tai Yi and Hong Yun's battle, the void cracked apart under the terrifying force of their fists, forming one black Spatial Rift after another.

Tai Yi remained silent. He could only pour more Mana into the Chaos Bell, using it to protect his body while counterattacking Hong Yun with its ringing.

"Daoist friend Dijiang, how about you and I decide victory with one move?"

The battle between Hong Yun and Tai Yi was too spectacular. Laozi no longer had the heart to continue sparring with Dijiang and only wanted to end this battle as quickly as possible.

"Good! I will use my strongest move next. Daoist friend, be careful!"

Dijiang agreed directly.

After fighting for so long without being able to do anything to Laozi's "tortoise shell," he had grown tired of this kind of sparring as well.

"Break!"

Spatial fluctuations radiated from his burly body, while dazzling white light appeared over his fist. Dijiang used two hundred percent of his strength and punched toward Laozi.

Yuanshi and Zhu Jiu Yin, as well as Tongtian and Ju Mang, exchanged glances and likewise decided to end their battles.

Buzhou Mountain and the surrounding billion kilometers had become a battlefield capable of tearing everything apart.

The first to determine a victor were Laozi and Dijiang.

"This Ancestral Witch has lost!"

Dijiang panted heavily, his face filled with displeasure.

The defense of Laozi's Heaven and Earth Exquisite Mysterious Yellow Pagoda made it impossible for Dijiang to do anything even after using all his strength.

In contrast, Dijiang's body was covered in wounds. In particular, Laozi's final strike with his cane had heavily injured his arm.

Whether in Mana or control over the Laws, Laozi stood at the pinnacle of the Primordial Wilderness. Dijiang was no weaker than him in cultivation or Laws, yet he had lost because of his Spiritual Treasure.

"Ancestor Witch Dijiang, thank you for yielding!"

Laozi smiled faintly, then turned his gaze toward where Hong Yun was.

"Daoist friend Ju Mang, it seems this poor Daoist has narrowly won."

Tongtian withdrew the Qingping Sword in his hand and laughed heartily.

Ju Mang dispersed the vines and giant trees that had been shredded into pieces, then also smiled and nodded to indicate his surrender.

"Thank you for yielding, Daoist friend Yuanshi!"

Zhu Jiu Yin said flatly without expression.

Yuanshi was ultimately no match for Zhu Jiu Yin, who was proficient in the Law of Time. Even with the Three Treasures Ruyi in hand, he had still fallen into a disadvantageous position.

"Hmph!"

His face was livid as he unhappily looked toward the battlefield in the distance where Hong Yun was.

Yuanshi's heart was extremely conflicted. He only regretted choosing the wrong opponent.

If the one he had fought had been Ju Mang, the victor would certainly have been him.

Yet he had been fighting the unfathomable Zhu Jiu Yin. Unless he could comprehend the Law of Time, his defeat had only been a matter of time.

Of the Three Pure Ones, Laozi and Tongtian had both won, while he alone had lost.

How could he, who valued his reputation so highly, possibly feel at peace with that?

At this thought, his gaze burned as he stared at the Chaos Bell in Tai Yi's hand. If he had an Innate Supreme Treasure, how could he have ended up in this situation?

"How could a feathered and horned beast, a creature born from dampness or hatched from an egg, be worthy of wielding the Chaos Bell?"

Yuanshi's desire for an Innate Supreme Treasure grew increasingly intense.

"Daoist friend's Mana is unfathomable. Tai Yi admires you. However, you cannot break through my Chaos Bell, and I cannot do anything to you either. How about we call this battle a draw?"

Tai Yi's breathing was heavy, and the sweat on his forehead dampened his hair.

He was also growing anxious inside. If this continued, his Mana would soon run dry.

Yet Hong Yun, apart from having slightly swollen fists, remained calm and composed, his Mana as deep and abundant as the sea.

Hong Yun smiled mockingly. "Daoist friend, your Mana must be running low, right?"

Though phrased as a question, his tone was extremely certain.

Hong Yun had hit the nail on the head, and Tai Yi could not help feeling shameful anger. "Daoist friend, feel free to try. Tai Yi simply doesn't wish to engage in a pointless struggle."

Hong Yun added, "Very well. This poor Daoist doesn't wish to continue exhausting himself like this either."

"Then do you acknowledge the proposition of a draw?"

Hearing this, Tai Yi secretly let out a sigh of relief. He was just about to withdraw the Chaos Bell when—

Hong Yun shook his head. "A draw is impossible! Your Chaos Bell is very powerful. With my bare hands, this poor Daoist truly cannot do anything to it. But you seem to have forgotten that this poor Daoist also possesses a few Spiritual Treasures."

At these words, Tai Yi's expression changed drastically!

Damn it, I forgot that this fellow wasn't merely an Ancestor Witch!

A purple streak of light appeared in the void, instantly dyeing the sky completely purple.

"The Primordial Measure Heaven Ruler!"
