The Might of a Heaven-Opening Supreme Treasure, Zhunti and Jieyin's Wishful Calculations!

"You deserve to die!"

Looking at the miserably mangled corpse of Demon Sage Ji Meng, who had been blasted to death, Eastern Emperor Taiyi's expression darkened with fury.

The Ten Great Demon Sages were already the Demon Race's foremost combat strength apart from himself and Dijun. Yet today, one had fallen and bled out just like that.

But after sensing Zhao Gongming's aura, Eastern Emperor Taiyi instinctively froze, surprise appearing on his face.

Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal!

The Zhao Gongming before him was actually only a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal?

One had to know—

Demon Sage Ji Meng had been a general of the Ancient Dragon Palace. He had survived even the incomparably brutal Dragon-Han Cataclysm, and among the Ten Great Demon Sages, his strength ranked at least in the middle.

Yet even so, he had still been slain on the spot by Zhao Gongming. Either Zhao Gongming had concealed his cultivation, or he possessed some truly extraordinary treasure or fortunate opportunity!

And a treasure that could allow a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal to cross an entire major realm and kill a Quasi-Sage...

"Hand over the treasure, and I'll leave you an intact corpse!"

Eastern Emperor Taiyi spoke coldly, his expression indifferent and his gaze brimming with absolute confidence.

As one of the only two Three-Legged Golden Crows in the Primordial World, and the supreme Demon Emperor of the Demon Race, he had used the Demon Race's Fortune to attain Perfected Quasi-Sage. Moreover, he had the Supreme Treasure Chaos Bell protecting him.

Below the Saints, he was already invincible. No matter how many secrets Zhao Gongming possessed, before absolute strength, he could only be cleanly and decisively suppressed and slain on the spot.

"Eastern Emperor Taiyi?"

Zhao Gongming looked at the imposing Demon Emperor before him, his expression calm as he couldn't even be bothered to respond.

With practiced ease, he put away Demon Sage Ji Meng's enormous corpse, along with the strange treasure capable of binding magical power.

The corpse of a Demon Sage alone was worth no less than an Upper-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Not to mention that Ji Meng had been a general of the Ancient Dragon Palace. His dragon sinews, dragon liver, and dragon scales—his entire body was treasure. Not only was it exquisitely delicious, it was also immensely beneficial to cultivating the physical body.

"Binding Spell Bell?"

Only after refining the bell-shaped strange treasure did Zhao Gongming understand its function, and his spirits immediately lifted.

As a strange treasure of the Primordial World, its effect was simple: once activated, the sound of the bell would ring out, and the magical power of all living beings within hundreds of millions of li would be bound!

Though it could only affect beings below the Saints, and even bound its user's own magical power, while lasting only the time it took an incense stick to burn—

At a critical moment, however, once activated, its effect would be astonishingly great. Just like in his battle with Demon Sage Ji Meng.

Had he not broken through to the Fifth Turn of the Profound Technique and brought his physical body to the level of an Ancestral Witch, who would have won and who would have lost might still have been unknown.

"However..."

Zhao Gongming frowned slightly as he looked at the Binding Spell Bell, which was covered in countless fine cracks.

Clearly, activating this strange treasure also came at a price. It would probably shatter completely after another two uses—or perhaps even one.

"You truly deserve to die!"

At this moment, Eastern Emperor Taiyi watched Zhao Gongming openly ignore him and brazenly put away Demon Sage Ji Meng's corpse. Solar True Fire nearly burst from his eyes.

The next moment, a bell toll that seemed to have come from ancient times rang across the summit of Mount Buzhou.

Immediately afterward, the Chaos Bell—the Eastern Emperor Bell—hummed as it descended fiercely upon Zhao Gongming, carrying terrifying power that suppressed earth, water, wind, and fire.

"Oh?"

Seeing Eastern Emperor Taiyi furiously activate and bring down the Chaos Bell, Zhao Gongming's heart instinctively tightened. A man's name was like a tree's shadow.

This Chaos Bell was one of the three Heaven-Opening Supreme Treasures, and it was being wielded by Eastern Emperor Taiyi, a Perfected Quasi-Sage. Its might was simply too terrifying. Earth, water, wind, and fire seemed utterly suppressed; even the currents of Primordial Chaos appeared to be bound. Even a Late Quasi-Sage struck by it would likely suffer grievous wounds on the spot, perhaps even bleed out and die.

"Go!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhao Gongming immediately unleashed the Thirty-Six Heavens Worlds. As they swelled in the wind, they transformed into thirty-six Great Thousand Worlds. Their origins connected, they firmly protected Zhao Gongming within. The next instant, the Chaos Bell, carrying boundless might as though it intended to split heaven and earth anew, smashed viciously into the Thirty-Six Heavens Worlds. Its terrifying power made the heavens worlds quake wildly, while the aftershocks spread in every direction. The region within a million li was utterly blasted into Primordial Chaos, and even all of Mount Buzhou trembled beneath an attack of such magnitude.

"What?"

Yet as he looked at the area reduced to Primordial Chaos, Eastern Emperor Taiyi did not smile. Instead, disbelief instinctively surfaced on his face.

The Thirty-Six Heavens Worlds roared as they actually blocked the Chaos Bell's might. Zhao Gongming within merely had a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. He had suffered only a light injury.

"The Chaos Bell truly is one of the three Heaven-Opening Supreme Treasures!"

Compared to Eastern Emperor Taiyi, Zhao Gongming's heart was likewise in turmoil. In terms of defense, the Heavens Worlds were already comparable to a Supreme Treasure. Though they could not completely withstand the Chaos Bell's power, they could offset ninety-nine percent of its force. Even so, his blood and qi churned within him, leaving him lightly injured. One had to know that he was now equivalent to the initial stage of the Fifth Turn of the Profound Technique, having already crossed the threshold of an Ancestral Witch physical body.

No wonder that during the Final Witch-Demon War, even Ancestral Witches with physical bodies at Perfected Fifth Transformation had mostly fallen beneath the Chaos Bell. Aside from its horrifying force of recoil, the power of this Heaven-Opening Supreme Treasure itself far exceeded all imagination!

Leaving aside Zhao Gongming and Eastern Emperor Taiyi, both of whom were shaken.

Such a terrifying battle erupting atop Mount Buzhou instantly drew the attention of many Great Supernatural Beings throughout the Primordial World.

"Oh?"

On Mount Shouyang, Grand Pure One Laozi, who had been immersed in cultivation, slightly raised his eyes. Yet he soon closed them again, too lazy to even spare the scene another glance.

Below the Saints, all were ants.

Even Perfected Quasi-Sage experts would be directly slain by a wisp of a Saint's aura. Other than Heavenly Dao Sages, there was little in the Primordial World that could still interest him.

"Someone killed a Demon Sage and even forced the Demon Emperor to descend, to the point that he brought out the Chaos Bell? Who is this, and how could they possess such strength?"

In the Western Lands, Zhunti, who had been repairing the earth veins and spiritual veins, abruptly looked toward Mount Buzhou, curiosity appearing on his face.

"I don't know. Perhaps they're a Great Supernatural Being who has just emerged from seclusion! Otherwise, why would they clash with the Demon Race? Still, this is an opportunity!"

Jieyin's tone carried deeper meaning. The Demon Race was overwhelmingly powerful and had already become the dominant race of the Primordial World. Anyone with even a slight understanding of the Primordial World's current situation would not provoke the Demon Race.

"Senior Brother, you mean?"

A flash of insight passed through Zhunti's mind as he suddenly looked at Jieyin. Jieyin was looking at him as well. When the gazes of the two Western Land Saints met, smiles involuntarily appeared on both their faces.
