Two streaks of light tore through the heavens, cutting across the sky of the Primordial World.

Before long, they reached the boundary of the Primordial World. Beyond it lay the boundless Chaos.

Li Mo saw several beings whose strength was insufficient get torn to shreds by the Chaos Gale.

At the sight, Di Jun glanced at Tai Yi, who immediately offered up the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Chaos Bell.

A resonant hum rang out. Golden halos spread in ripples from the four of them, sweeping in every direction.

The Chaos Bell then enveloped all four of them.

[Holy crap! That's powerful! Is this Tai Yi's companion treasure, the Chaos Bell? I love it! If only I could get my hands on it and play around with it someday!]

"Lord Tai Yi, is this your companion treasure, the Chaos Bell?" Bai Ze's eyes lit up at the sight, and he asked.

"Mm, that's right." Hearing Bai Ze ask about it, Tai Yi's lips curled up. He explained, "My elder brother and I were born beneath the Fusang Tree on the Sun Star. My elder brother's companion treasure was the top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure Hetu Luoshu, while I took form with the Chaos Bell in my arms."

"Mm, exactly. The Chaos Bell excels at both offense and defense, and can stabilize space and time. It has forty-nine restrictions. No treasure in the entire Primordial World can match it. Even I can't help but covet it," Di Jun said with a nod and a sigh.

[Tsk, tsk! Tai Yi's showing off... Oh no, I mean, he's making a grand display of himself! But his bragging isn't quite right. There are still plenty of treasures in the Primordial World that can rival it.]

[For example, Demon Ancestor Luohu's supreme weapon of slaughter, the God Slaying Spear, and Taiqing Laozi's Innate Supreme Treasure, the Taiji Diagram, which also excels at both offense and defense. It's said to ignore defenses and dispel all attacks.]

[Then there's Yuqing Yuanshi's Innate Supreme Treasure, the Pangu Banner, which can tear apart the primordial realm and split open Chaos. Those three supreme treasures were all formed from the Chaos Supreme Treasure, the Pangu Axe, when Great God Pangu created the world.]

[Besides those, there's the acquired merit supreme treasure, the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler. Hong Jun also has the Jade Disc of Creation and many other treasures in his possession. They're every bit as good as the Chaos Bell, if not better. Tai Yi and Jun Ge are just showing off in front of Master because he doesn't know what treasures other people have.]

[But, hehe, I know, so they can't fool me.]

[Oh, wait. Maybe even Jun Ge and Tai Yi don't know how famous the other treasures are, which is why they think the Chaos Bell is unrivaled in all the heavens and earth. What a pair of clueless idiots.]

Li Mo grumbled inwardly, a smile tugging at his lips.

"Absurd! There can't possibly be a treasure stronger than the Chaos Bell!"

Li Mo's inner thoughts made the veins on Di Jun's head bulge one after another, like earthworms threatening to crawl right off his scalp.

Li Mo actually knew all these treasures like the back of his hand.

If Di Jun hadn't doubted whether his words were true, he would have slapped him to death long ago.

But that last "clueless idiots" had truly set him off.

He and Tai Yi were Golden Crows born of the Sun Star, closely connected to Great God Pangu, and rightful heirs of Pangu's Orthodox Lineage.

In the future, they would become emperors who ruled the Primordial World.

And yet a mere soldier had dared to disparage them like this. How could he not be furious?

Seeing this, Tai Yi asked with a puzzled look, "Elder brother, what's wrong? The Chaos Bell is indeed a peerless treasure in the Primordial World, unmatched in power."

Li Mo raised an eyebrow.

[Hell! What's gotten into Jun Ge? Who ticked you off? Why are you so worked up? The Three Pure Ones aren't here yet. If they show up, you brothers might end up making fools of yourselves with all that showing off.]

Di Jun's hand trembled with rage. But he couldn't punish Li Mo without reason. He couldn't exactly tell everyone he could hear Li Mo's thoughts—and nobody would believe him anyway.

"Let's go!" he said in a low voice.

At that, Tai Yi asked nothing more.

As he urged it onward, mountains, rivers, the sun, and the moon appeared on the Chaos Bell.

It carried the four of them straight into the Chaos Gale.

The Chaos Bell met the Chaos Gale, and sparks burst out in a shower in an instant.

Still, the gale seemed unable to harm either the Chaos Bell or the four people inside it.

But the resistance of the Chaos Gale slowed them down considerably.

Seeing this, Di Jun's lips curled up, and his eyes brimmed with amusement.

Every so often, he shot Li Mo a sidelong glance, as if to say, "See that? This is the Chaos Bell. It may not be mine, but it belongs to my brother. It's unmatched in the world, and it's damn amazing."

When Li Mo caught that look, though, it gave him an entirely different impression.

[Shit! Why's Jun Ge looking at me? Could he be into men? Tsk, that's very possible. Otherwise, he wouldn't have insisted on bringing me along. Once we get to Purple Sky Palace, I'd better keep my distance from him.]

Li Mo felt uneasy. He edged backward and hid behind Bai Ze.

Di Jun was speechless, his brow furrowed with frustration.

But just then,

Bai Ze's ears suddenly twitched.

"What was that sound?"

"The sound of something cutting through the wind! It's moving so fast," Tai Yi exclaimed.

The sound came from behind them, and everyone turned around.

They saw three figures wrapped in the phantom image of a Taiji Diagram.

The young man at the rear was controlling a flying sword, and the three of them stood upon it. Their speed was astonishing.

The Chaos Gale seemed to be nothing to them.

Thinking of Li Mo's earlier thoughts, Di Jun couldn't help exclaiming in shock, "The Taiji Diagram! Are they the Three Pure Ones?"

"Elder brother, you know the Three Pure Ones?" Tai Yi asked.

The brothers had heard of the Three Pure Ones, but had never met them.

Di Jun had no time to answer Tai Yi. He realized he had just bragged far too much about the Chaos Bell.

The Three Pure Ones had just passed them and thoroughly made a fool of him. The Taiji Diagram seemed completely unaffected by the Chaos Gale.

Not only that, but figures began shooting past the Chaos Bell one after another.

Two beings with human bodies and snake tails!

A giant roc that blotted out the sky!

A red cloud!

At the sight, Di Jun's competitive spirit flared.

Damn it! Even a cloud could move that fast? And the Chaos Gale hadn't even scattered it.

[What the hell? How are all these guys so fast? Jun Ge, if you don't hurry up, there won't be a seat left for you! Though the six seats in the front row are the Saint Positions, so it's normal that there aren't any for you. Just take your time and grab any seat when you get there.]

Li Mo thought to himself.

But Di Jun wasn't about to do that.

I refuse to believe it! Are there really only six seats in the front row? Are the Six Saints truly ordained by fate? Tai Yi and I have to fight for seats there!

"Tai Yi, speed up," Di Jun said in a low voice.

"Yes!" How could Tai Yi not understand what his elder brother meant? He knew his brother well and understood exactly what he wanted to do.

In an instant, magical power surged through them both.

The Golden Crows transformed into streaks of light!
