Purple Bell King split off a thread of consciousness and entered the Mechanical Race's communication platform, searching for events that had occurred on the Flame Offering Continent over the past several decades.

With the formidable consciousness of a peak King, he almost instantly understood the identity of the white-robed figure before him!

"Annihilation King!" Purple Bell King's expression turned terrified.

A King-level Invincible had actually chosen not to try his luck at the Star Tower, instead coming to the Flame Offering Continent to hunt ordinary Kings!

"Run!" Purple Bell King did not even dare think further. He immediately prepared to tear through space and teleport away.

Although he possessed a top-tier treasure, Purple Bell King could at most wield the combat power of a King-level limit. A King-level Invincible was simply not someone he could contend with now!

However—

Buzz!

He wanted to teleport away, but the surrounding space had already been completely locked down.

"Space Lockdown! Didn't they say Annihilation King still couldn't use Space Lockdown?!" Purple Bell King's expression changed drastically as he cursed the Kings within the Mechanical Race faction who had spread that information!

On the other side, a tall figure appeared beside Su Heng.

After the peak King had luckily escaped several years ago, Su Heng began searching for a King who could use Space Lockdown!

Although King-level immortals who comprehended the Law of Space generally chose teleportation, a secret technique with exceptional versatility and survivability,

a very small number still chose auxiliary secret techniques such as Space Lockdown.

The one beside him was a peak King alien from the Demon Race faction who had comprehended Space Lockdown!

After locating the other party, Su Heng had blasted him into soul slumber, then made him into a soul slave.

After receiving a massive supply of resources, his divine body had only recently recovered to 90%, no longer affecting his combat power.

With Space Lockdown fully unleashed now, Purple Bell King, who was in the same realm, naturally could no longer use teleportation!

"Great Annihilation King, could you spare my life? I can give you all the resources I have accumulated in my lifetime!"

Knowing that he could not escape, Purple Bell King flew out of the base and pleaded with Su Heng.

However, he also knew such pleading was bound to be futile. Thus, in secret, he frantically sent messages through the Mechanical Race faction's chat channel.

"Help! Help! I have encountered Annihilation King of the human faction. The coordinates are..."

"Once I kill you, all the resources on you will be mine anyway!" Su Heng merely said coldly, then wielded the longsword in his hand and slashed toward Purple Bell King.

A dazzling sword light swept through space and landed on Purple Bell King's body in an instant.

More than ten million times the power of a world master crashed down.

Purple Bell King's body instantly turned to dust.

Yet, where his body had been, an ancient great bell appeared!

"The Demon Sound Fire God Bell truly deserves to be called a top-tier treasure." Su Heng revealed a faint smile as he looked at the ancient great bell.

This was a top-tier treasure capable of reducing soul and physical attacks by around ninety percent!

While it certainly had an upper limit to what it could withstand, within the Venerable realm, few attacks could reach that "limit"!

It was just a pity that using this treasure's offensive methods required the corresponding laws of fire and space.

"Damn it, damn it! How could Annihilation King's attack be so powerful? Is he truly King-level Invincible?!" Within the ancient great bell, Purple Bell King's body reformed as he roared madly.

Even an attack from a Venerable would be no more than this!

One had to know that just that strike had already consumed over 80% of his divine body!

He was not far from soul slumber!

And that was after both soul and physical attacks had been weakened by ninety percent!

Just then, an indifferent voice sounded within the ancient great bell.

"Perish, Purple Bell King!"

"No!" Purple Bell King's expression changed drastically.

But Su Heng's attack would not change because of his words!

The attack struck the ancient great bell once more, and Purple Bell King's expression immediately darkened!

"If I die, don't think you'll get away unscathed either!" In his final moment, Purple Bell King's face was filled with madness.

Whoosh!

The ancient bell enveloping Purple Bell King suddenly enlarged.

Then, he abruptly separated from the ancient bell, leaving only a black crystal sphere inside it. A heart-palpitating fluctuation spread from the black crystal sphere as it shot toward Su Heng at high speed.

"Self-destruction combined with an A-812 Fire God Source Crystal? Laughable!" Su Heng sneered and waved his palm toward the crystal sphere.

The A-812 Fire God Source Crystal only possessed an attack two or three times stronger than the self-destruction of a peak King.

Purple Bell King's self-destruction was even more insignificant, since his divine body was already incomparably weakened!

Even with the aid of the first-level secret technique of the Demon Sound Fire God Bell, which gathered all his power into a single burst,

its power was at most equivalent to twice the self-destruction of a King-level limit!

Ordinary King-level Invincibles might find such power somewhat troublesome, but to Su Heng, it was child's play!

Vast divine power surged forth. Under the application of another secret technique of the Law of Space, all the attacks instantly detonated where they stood.

Space Strangulation Force!

Boom!

The aftermath exploded, but all the attacks became like a gentle breeze brushing against one's face, carrying not the slightest bit of power.

"Collect!" Releasing his divine power, Su Heng gathered the ownerless Demon Sound Fire God Bell in the distance and all the spoils scattered through the void into his World Ring.

Without Su Heng needing to issue an order, his soul slave dispersed all the sealing power in the surroundings.

Whoosh.

With a single step, Su Heng teleported away from the place with his slave.

At the same time, within the Mechanical Race faction.

"Annihilation King is suspected to possess combat power above that of a Venerable. Furthermore, my top-tier treasure has fallen into Annihilation King's hands. Its abilities are as follows."

This was the message Purple Bell King had released before self-destructing.

As a member of the Qi Chang Race, a subordinate race within the Mechanical Race faction, Purple Bell King's race did not possess great beings such as Universe Lords.

Thus, if they wished to revive certain members of their race, they had to ask a Universe Lord of the Mechanical Race to do it!

But the price of revival was enormous!

How could the Qi Chang Race possibly afford too much of it? At most, only when upper echelons such as King-level limits or King-level Invincibles with the potential to become Venerables fell would they seek out a Mechanical Race Universe Lord and request revival!

As a peak King within his race, Purple Bell King's status was not particularly low. If he was lucky, there was a slight chance his race would pay the price to revive him!

But the problem was that he possessed the Demon Sound Fire God Bell. With the interference of the treasure's laws, the price of reviving him even exceeded that of reviving a King-level limit or King-level Invincible!

Therefore, Purple Bell King knew very clearly that he could not be revived. His race would not pay such an enormous price for him either.

To have others avenge him, Purple Bell King chose to spread all the information everywhere, whether to allies or others!

The Demon Sound Fire God Bell was a top-tier treasure that might even move Universe Venerables!

That gave him a sliver of hope for revenge!

There is one more chapter. I'm still busy with relatives today, so I may not be able to release three chapters. Sorry, sorry. Once this matter is handled, I'll make it up immediately.
