Refining the Supreme Treasure, the Chaos Bell's Might

"The moment he appears, I'll execute the Ten Thousand Souls Heart-Erosion secret art at maximum speed!"

"With my strength, a Sealed King—just a 0.001-second gap—is enough to complete soul enslavement! Even if that Five-Colored Aurora Lake is fast, it can't stop me!"

Wulong Venerable's lips curled into a cold smirk.

In his view, although Demon Flame King's Divine Body was massive, his soul was bound to be relatively weak—after all, it was no secret in the universe that the Yan God Clan had strong Divine Bodies but weak souls.

"Demon Flame King."

"Your time is up!"

Wulong Venerable stood before a mansion built of purple crystal, his aura completely concealed.

He gently knocked on the mansion's door, and soon, a Zerg Clan Sealed King opened it.

"You are... Wulong Venerable? May I ask what business you have with me, Venerable?"

the Zerg Clan Sealed King said respectfully.

Wulong Venerable smiled faintly: "By order of the clan, I'm swapping residences with you."

The Zerg Clan Sealed King immediately bowed upon hearing this: "As you command."

He instantly realized the clan was about to make a move on Demon Flame King.

If this mansion of his had any advantage, it was only that it was close to Demon Flame King's mansion—just ten steps away.

A moment later, Wulong Venerable stood by the window of his new residence.

His gaze was like a blade, fixed dead on that crimson-gold mansion gate.

"I'll wait here."

He sat cross-legged, and fine soul secret patterns began to emerge around him.

These patterns writhed like living things, gradually forming a vast soul domain within the room.

"Ten Thousand Souls Heart-Erosion ready."

Wulong Venerable's eyes gleamed with cold light.

"Demon Flame King, you'll come out eventually."

"And I have all the patience in the world."

Like the most seasoned hunter, he began a long wait.

Every day, aside from maintaining the secret art's operation, he stared fixedly at that mansion.

Days passed, and Wulong Venerable's aura merged completely with the surroundings. Even the occasional inheritors passing by couldn't sense a Universe Venerable lurking here.

Three months... half a year... a year...

Wulong Venerable remained motionless, as if turned into a statue.

Only his eyes, growing ever brighter, revealed his increasingly blazing killing intent.

And at this moment, Yan Ning...

"This Moon Wheel Palace really isn't bad, hahahaha."

In his hand was a delicate, exquisite palace—this was the high-grade palace-type treasure Moon Wheel Palace, which Yan Ning had obtained by signing in at the Treasure Land.

"Hum—"

Yan Ning's fingertip touched the palace's surface, and a wisp of crimson-gold Divine Power slowly infused it.

"Recognition begins!"

In an instant, the entire Moon Wheel Palace trembled violently, countless complex secret patterns flowing across its surface.

Since this treasure was obtained through the system's sign-in, recognizing it was relatively easy for him.

Soon, he succeeded in recognition.

A high-grade palace-type treasure—if this thing were released, even Universe Masters would fight tooth and nail for it.

With his current strength driving it, Moon Wheel Palace's defensive capabilities were roughly as follows:

A Sealed King's full-force strike was like a mosquito bite, causing no damage at all.

A primary Universe Venerable burning Divine Power to attack—the surface secret patterns dimmed briefly, recovering within 1 second.

A Universe Overlord wielding a peak treasure—the palace shook, and he would suffer minor injuries if caught inside.

A Universe Master (True God) attacking—the palace would be sent flying, possibly partially damaged but not disintegrated, and could be restored with Divine Power.

In short, with this treasure, he could almost ignore physical attacks.

As long as he hid inside, he was invincible.

What's more, Moon Wheel Palace wasn't just for defense—its speed was also extremely fast!

Driven by his burning Divine Body, no one could stop him.

As for the issue of Divine Power consumption, it was completely outside his considerations.

After finishing with the Moon Wheel Palace, he tossed it back into the system space.

This system space was a system perk—an infinitely large space, but it could only store items obtained through system check-ins.

Still, that was enough; at least with this feature, he wouldn't lose his treasures.

"Next, next."

Another flash in his hand, and a crystal-clear pearl replaced the Moon Wheel Palace, falling into his palm.

A high-grade palace-type soul treasure—he still had to refine it first.

Only then would his survival capabilities be guaranteed.

In the universe, soul-type treasures were a hundred times more precious than weapons or armor of the same level!

He closed his eyes, and a strand of soul power slowly infused the Thousand Illusion Pearl.

"Hum—"

The Thousand Illusion Pearl suddenly burst into dazzling light, countless dense soul runes emerging, resonating with Yan Ning's soul.

Since it was obtained through system check-in, the recognition process went unusually smoothly.

After a moment, Yan Ning opened his eyes, and deep within his pupils, it seemed stars were born and died.

"Done!"

With a thought, the Thousand Illusion Pearl transformed into a streak of light, directly sinking into his brow.

"Boom!"

In an instant, above Yan Ning's soul ocean, a brilliant star hung high. Countless rays of starlight cascaded down, forming a dreamlike protective barrier on the surface of the soul ocean.

But then, the next moment.

"Clang—!"

A majestic bell toll exploded in Yan Ning's sea of consciousness. The Chaos Bell suddenly erupted with boundless might, causing the entire soul ocean to tremble!

"Not good!"

Yan Ning's heart leaped. He saw the Thousand Illusion Pearl, which had just entered his sea of consciousness, now cowering in a corner of the soul ocean, squeezed into a tiny space by the Chaos Bell's oppressive aura.

"This..."

Yan Ning's mouth twitched. He only then remembered there was an even more terrifying presence in his sea of consciousness.

"Chaos Bell, don't mess around."

He tried to soothe the Chaos Bell with his soul power.

"This is a treasure meant to guard the soul."

"Hum—"

The Chaos Bell vibrated lightly, and a domineering stream of information directly transmitted into Yan Ning's awareness. The gist of it was:

[Master, why do you want this trash?]

[With me here, no one can touch your soul!]

Yan Ning was caught between laughter and tears. He could feel the disdain coming from the Chaos Bell—how could a proud Innate Supreme Treasure allow another treasure to run wild in its sea of consciousness?

"Alright, alright, I know you're formidable."

Yan Ning shook his head helplessly but still explained: "But the Thousand Illusion Pearl has its uses too. I can't use you for every piece of trash, can I? Just think of it as keeping a pet."

Hearing this, the Chaos Bell's body swayed slightly, as if pondering.

After a moment, it reluctantly withdrew its oppressive aura, making a small space for the Thousand Illusion Pearl—and it really was just a "small space," like a doghouse thrown to a beggar in a mansion.

The Thousand Illusion Pearl obediently shrank into that corner, its light even dimming a few shades, like a bullied little wife.

"You, this guy."

Yan Ning chuckled. Well, this was fine too.

A high-grade soul-type treasure.

Plus the Chaos Bell—even if a Universe Master came, they couldn't do anything to his soul.

Yan Ning then began refining the remaining items.

Star Sea, a high-grade domain-type treasure.

Star Core, a high-grade origin-type treasure. This treasure was placed directly with his Black Hole Clone.

Refined and used simultaneously by the clone.

After all, all of his main body's Divine Power consumption relied on the Black Hole Clone for replenishment.

Space-Breaking Blade, a high-grade attack-type treasure.

Five layers of secret patterns.

With his current strength, he could barely activate the first layer.

To activate all five layers, at minimum, the strength of a top-tier Universe Overlord was required.
