"Chaos Bell!"
The Chaos Bell rang out with a deep, resonant peal. Centered on Eastern Emperor Tai Yi, its sound rippled in every direction.
In an instant, a murky yellow light spread from it in all directions.
Five-colored radiance illuminated the heavens, with mountains, rivers, the sun, and the moon revolving across its surface.
In the sky, some stars could not withstand the tremendous pressure and came crashing down.
Jieyin, Zhunti, Kunpeng, Minghe, and the others felt the immense pressure. They held nothing back, unleashing every technique at their disposal.
Streams of light and magical treasures of every color repeatedly slammed toward Di Jun, Tai Yi, and the other two innate divine beings.
But the two Demon Emperors were powerful, and they had plenty of magical treasures at their disposal.
They even possessed powerful treasures like Hetu Luoshu and the Chaos Bell!
Jieyin, Zhunti, and the others could not overcome them, no matter how long they attacked.
All they could do was watch helplessly as the veins on their foreheads bulged with fury.
"Is there any way to stop his Chaos Bell? With an Innate Supreme Treasure like that, we can't do a thing to them. Worse, we'll gradually fall behind. If that happens, we won't stand a chance of obtaining the treasures!"
"They still have at least five magical treasures!"
Daoist Jieyin spoke in quick succession.
"Damn it! Watch me use my Blood of the Nether to cripple that Chaos Bell!" Minghe roared, his entire body surging with blood energy.
In an instant, the blood energy poured down like a river of blood from the highest heavens, cascading three thousand feet in a torrent!
It surged straight toward the Chaos Bell!
The Blood of the Nether within Minghe had been refined from the River of Blood.
It could defile magical treasures. That was his plan.
He would make the Chaos Bell useless—or at least weaken its power.
If the Chaos Bell's effect was diminished, breaking through the four men's defenses would be much easier.
Otherwise, they could only fight head-on and break through their defensive formation.
But with four against four, Yuqing Yuanshi was being held back by Nuwa and Fu Xi. They had no way to force their way through.
Unless another powerful cultivator joined the fight.
"Minghe, you think that stuff can defile my Chaos Bell?"
Eastern Emperor Tai Yi barked. Five-colored radiance illuminated the heavens.
The bell rang out, and the river of blood in the sky was swept aside.
The bloody waves muddied the heavens, then rolled back.
The Blood of the Nether was formidable, but it could not break through this layer of defense.
Minghe ground his teeth in fury, but there was nothing he could do.
The Blood of the Nether could not touch the Chaos Bell, so it could not defile it.
"Hahaha! We're leaving! If you've got what it takes, come to my Sun God Palace!" Di Jun roared with laughter.
In an instant, the Chaos Bell tore through the river of blood and shot into the distance.
"Damn it! Di Jun, Tai Yi, stay right there!" Yuqing Yuanshi bellowed, but he could not break free to pursue them. All he could do was rage helplessly.
But it was not that simple.
"You think you can leave? Did I, Dong Wang Gong, give you permission?"
In an instant!
Streams of light came crashing down toward Buzhou Mountain like meteors.
The two newcomers were not as powerful as the others present.
But they were both top-tier Grand Unity Golden Immortals!
Behind them were several Grand Unity Golden Immortals.
The arrivals were none other than Dong Wang Gong, the Donghua Daoist, and Xi Wang Mu, Yaochi.
Donghua Daoist struck at once. In an instant, he brought forth the acquired merit supreme treasure, the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler!
"This is bad! We can't hold out!"
Di Jun's expression changed drastically. He remembered all too well Li Mo's assessment of the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler.
This was one of the top offensive magical treasures in the Primordial World.
In the blink of an eye, a jade-white radiance stretching tens of thousands of feet slammed into the Chaos Bell.
The four inside the Chaos Bell were struck as if by lightning. Their faces turned pale as they spat blood, looking utterly miserable.
"Quick, take Ginseng Fruits to heal!"
Zhen Yuanzi grimaced with heartache as he pulled out four Ginseng Fruits.
Healing was only the most basic function of any spiritual root.
The four swallowed them without hesitation.
The Earth Book and Hetu Luoshu were brought out once more by Zhen Yuanzi and Di Jun.
The four prepared to defend themselves!
"Di Jun, Tai Yi! Well, well—the Heavenly Emperor Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Tai Yi! I never expected to meet you two so soon."
"I thought we'd have to fight the two Demon Emperors another day. But this situation is truly heaven-sent!"
Seeing the two Demon Emperors surrounded, Dong Wang Gong's lips curled into a smile.
Di Jun and Tai Yi's expressions darkened at once.
The leaders of the male and female immortals had met the two Demon Emperors ahead of schedule.
A fight to the death was inevitable.
This was not good for Di Jun and Tai Yi.
The four-on-four situation had instantly become four against six.
And since Donghua Daoist possessed the acquired merit supreme treasure, the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler, the Chaos Bell now had an equal opponent. It probably could not unleash its full power.
"Now that the leaders of the male and female immortals are here, what are we waiting for? These two Demon Emperors are ambitious and want to seize control of the Primordial World. Today, my brother and I will make a show of goodwill toward you by wiping out these two feathered freaks!"
Daoist Jieyin smiled, acting as if he had come to help.
"Enough talk! Attack!"
Minghe launched his assault.
At that moment, Tongtian Daoist, a long sword on his back, gripped its hilt and prepared to draw.
But Taiqing Laozi stopped him.
"Third Brother, what are you doing?" Taiqing Laozi asked.
"Helping," Tongtian replied, his expression indifferent.
"Helping whom?" Laozi asked again.
"Di Jun and Tai Yi," Tongtian answered.
"What do you expect Yuanshi to think? We've already benefited from the two Golden Crows. Not getting involved is the greatest help we can offer. Just watch," Laozi said calmly.
At that, Tongtian released the hilt, his brows drawing together as he wrestled with indecision.
"Let's see how fate treats you."
With a thunderous crash!
The acquired merit supreme treasure slammed into the Chaos Bell!
Next, Minghe, Kunpeng, and the others' treasures came crashing down upon the four men's defensive formation.
The shield protecting them swayed violently, on the verge of shattering.
"Let's see how long your turtle shell can last!"
Donghua Daoist sneered.
Being able to wipe out the two Demon Emperors here, ahead of time, was a stroke of great fortune.
The purple qi on Buzhou Mountain had not lured them here in vain.
The thought of killing the two Demon Emperors and making a name for himself throughout the Primordial World thrilled Donghua Daoist.
After all, the two Demon Emperors were among the top powerhouses in the Primordial World.
Among those ranked in the first tier below Hong Jun, Di Jun and Tai Yi were undoubtedly among the strongest.
Di Jun, Tai Yi, and the other two huddled together, holding their ground.
Their faces were pale. They had no idea what to do.
"Daoist Zhen Yuanzi, Daoist Hong Yun, I've dragged you into this. Hand over your treasures and leave," Di Jun told them.
"Heh, Daoist Di Jun, you jest. You helped me before, so it's only right that I help you now. This is a debt of karma I owe you. If I left like this, how could I ever hold my head high before the great cultivators of the Primordial World?"
"I'll protect you and your brother, no matter what," Zhen Yuanzi said.
"Zhen Yuanzi is right," Hong Yun said with a faint smile.
"Donghua Daoist and Yaochi Golden Mother want to kill the two of us," Di Jun said, his brow furrowing.
"Big Brother, is there really no way?" Eastern Emperor Tai Yi asked.
"If Fifth Brother were here, he'd definitely have a solution. But right now..."
Di Jun looked around, but Li Mo was nowhere to be seen.
At that moment!
Li Mo shook his head and came to in a pitch-black cave deep inside Buzhou Mountain.
