Lin Xuan sorted through his jumbled thoughts, then summoned the Chaos Bell floating above his head into his hand.
He carefully caressed the Chaos Bell, which spun ceaselessly in his palm.
His gaze grew distant.
By then, with the invincible Innate Chaos Bell above his head, the unmatched innate supreme treasure of slaughter, the God-Slaying Spear, in his hand, and the Twelve-Grade Pure World White Lotus beneath his feet—
The Four Swords of Zhu Xian would protect him.
With the added enhancement of the laws of the Great Dao of Strength, he should be able to contend with Grand Supreme Elder Laozi and the other three Sages, right?
No.
That would not be enough to crush them. It still was not secure enough.
Thinking of this, Lin Xuan's gaze fell upon the Chaos Bell spinning ceaselessly in his hand.
He suddenly realized that the Chaos Bell was one of the three supreme treasures created from the Chaos Supreme Treasure, Pangu's Sky-Opening Divine Axe.
Now that it had fallen into his hands, it was equivalent to obtaining one-third of the Chaos Supreme Treasure, Pangu's Sky-Opening Divine Axe.
If he obtained the Pangu Banner in the hands of Primordial Heavenly Venerate, along with the Taiji Diagram in the hands of Grand Supreme Elder Laozi—
He might be able to reverse its origin and manifest that supreme treasure of slaughter once more!
After thinking of this, Lin Xuan's spirit shook instinctively.
It was not impossible.
The Taiji Diagram in Laozi's hands would be difficult for him to obtain for the time being,
but he could still scheme to obtain the Chaos Banner in the hands of Primordial Heavenly Venerate.
If he successfully reconstructed the Chaos Supreme Treasure, Pangu's Sky-Opening Divine Axe, and added the mostly repaired Chaos Bead and the Chaos Green Lotus Dao Embryo—
By then, with three Chaos Supreme Treasures on his person, he could confidently shout:
"Who else?!"
The Great God Pangu back then had likewise possessed only three Chaos Supreme Treasures.
After realizing this, Lin Xuan immediately made up his mind.
He would first replenish the origin of the Chaos Green Lotus Dao Embryo, which was used to suppress the Interception Sect's fortune, and bring back the Thirty-Six-Petaled Chaos Green Lotus.
After all—
One should start by squeezing the softest persimmon.
Lin Xuan roughly knew that the Innate Five-Colored Lotus Platform and the Innate Five-Direction Five-Element Divine Banners, both transformed from the Thirty-Six-Petaled Chaos Green Lotus, had fallen into the hands of various Primordial Mighty Ones.
For that matter—
The Twelve-Grade Pure World White Lotus and the God-Slaying Spear, transformed from the stem of the Chaos Green Lotus, were both in his hands.
The Twelve-Grade Golden Lotus of Merit was the treasure that suppressed the fortune of the Western Sect founded by the Two Sages of the West.
The Twelve-Grade Karma Fire Red Lotus had fallen into the hands of Ancestor Minghe.
The Twelve-Grade Creation Green Lotus had been divided among the Three Pure Ones.
Only the final Twelve-Grade World-Ending Black Lotus remained unknown, hidden by some Primordial Mighty One.
As for the Five-Direction Five-Element Divine Banners, most of them were also in the hands of those mighty figures.
To Lin Xuan now, all of these people were soft persimmons.
He could completely squeeze them one by one and collect all these innate treasures.
Then he would restore the true form of the Chaos Supreme Treasure, the Thirty-Six-Petaled Chaos Green Lotus!
After making up his mind, Lin Xuan casually flipped his hand and withdrew the Chaos Bell into his sea of consciousness.
Then his figure blurred, and he left this chaotic region.
Without the Chaos Bell's suppression, the chaotic currents that had been frozen like insects trapped in amber immediately regained their freedom.
Following their original direction of movement, they began colliding violently.
In an instant—
This previously tranquil chaotic space formed a gigantic chaotic vortex.
It shattered everything tangible and intangible.
After a long while—
Daoist Lu Ya, the Twelve Golden Immortals of Chan Sect, and the disciples of the Western Sect, including Maitreya Golden Cicada, finally arrived here under the secret protection of the Sages behind them.
When they saw the chaotic vortex faintly radiating an aura capable of destroying heaven and earth, expressions of despair appeared on all their faces.
The final toll of the Chaos Bell had come from here.
However, with their cultivation, they were completely unable to pass through this chaotic vortex.
Even Daoist Lu Ya, who had always been arrogant and believed himself to be the destined master of the Chaos Bell, felt a faint urge to retreat when he saw this chaotic vortex.
He was the last Crown Prince of the Demon Clan and bore the responsibility of reviving the Demon Clan. He absolutely could not perish here.
Just as they all began to retreat inwardly—
The Saint's Tokens on their bodies simultaneously erupted with astonishing power.
A moment later—
The figures of Primordial Heavenly Venerate, Grand Supreme Elder Laozi, Jieyin and Zhunti, and Empress Nuwa all manifested here.
The Five Sages had gathered!
They exchanged glances but did not say much.
Then each of them released a burst of power.
Even though the chaotic vortex possessed the might to destroy heaven and earth, it could not withstand a joint attack from the Five Sages.
It instantly vanished without a trace.
Only an empty stretch of chaotic void remained.
There was nothing at all.
The disciples of the Sages, who had endured countless hardships and risked their lives to get here, all revealed looks of disbelief when they saw this scene.
Some were even nearly angered into vomiting blood.
How was this possible?!
They had clearly sensed that the Chaos Bell had rung here.
How could there be nothing at all?!
Even the Five Sages slightly furrowed their brows when they saw this scene.
They had miscalculated.
Had someone beaten them to it?
Or had the Chaos Bell itself concealed the heavenly secrets again and escaped?
However, they leaned more toward the latter possibility.
Because they were confident—
There was no one who could tamper with things right under the noses of the Five Sages!
