Bang—
A bone-chilling impact rang out.
Then.
Hum—
The resonant chime of a Dharma treasure echoed throughout the Boundless Great Thousand World.
Above the Karma Fire Red Lotus protecting Minghe, the treasure light shielding him began to flicker violently under the Chaos Bell's "Fortune Collision"!
Three breaths later.
Crack—
The fiercely flickering protective treasure light on the Karma Fire Red Lotus shattered with a crisp sound.
The instant the protective treasure light broke—
The Chaos Bell's Supreme Treasure killing power crashed down upon Minghe, who had just suffered grievous injuries after his Great Dao was crushed and suppressed.
"Aaargh!!!"
With a scream, Minghe turned into a streak of blood-red light and slammed viciously toward the barrier of the Boundless Great Thousand World.
As he flew backward.
Across his body—
Cracks instantly spread over Minghe's Innate Dao Body.
Terrifying solar power scorched his Innate Dao Body, suppressing the recovery of his external wounds.
Within his body—
The Great Dao injuries weighing upon him were so severe that they nearly shattered one of the Three Corpses of his Quasi-Sage Dao Fruit.
At the same time, the power of the Solar Dao lingered upon it.
Like poison clinging to the bone, it continuously burned his Dao Fruit and one of his Three Corpses.
One move—
Even with the Karma Fire Red Lotus, reputed to be impervious to all techniques and unrivaled in defense, protecting him, Minghe could not rise again.
Moments later.
Boom—
Minghe crashed fiercely against the barrier of the Boundless Great Thousand World before finally falling to the earth.
Only a single breath remained in him, yet he made no further movement whatsoever.
Hum!
The Karma Fire Red Lotus, its protective treasure light shattered, dimmed, and its Dao rhythm dispersed by seventy percent, appeared beside Minghe once more.
It lowered treasure light again, sheltering Minghe within it.
At the same time.
Clang—
The two vicious swords, Yuantu and Abi, likewise circulated sword light as they guarded the barely breathing Minghe!
After glancing at the utterly miserable Minghe.
Dan Jing withdrew his gaze.
"Flashy nonsense. One bell, and you're down!"
Afterward.
Dan Jing's pair of golden eyes, glowing with a faint spectral light, shifted onto Kunpeng, Red Cloud, Zhen Yuanzi, Queen Mother of the West, and the others.
They had already retreated to the edge of the Boundless Great Thousand World.
After witnessing Minghe's fate, they were still shaken with lingering fear, though somewhat relieved that they had conceded quickly enough. Then, all of them suddenly trembled.
When they turned and saw Dan Jing's golden eyes fixed upon them.
A bad premonition rose in every heart.
"Not good..."
Just now—
That madman Dan Jing had never accepted their surrender. He intended to attack them!
Seeing the change in everyone's expressions.
Dan Jing, high in the heavens, grinned.
"Hehehe..."
He chuckled twice without saying anything, merely tossing the Chaos Bell in his hand toward them!
Dong!
The terrifying bell chime carried Supreme Treasure killing power condensed to the utmost degree, without even a thread leaking out, and instantly enveloped Kunpeng, Red Cloud, Zhen Yuanzi, Queen Mother of the West, Xuan Nü, and everyone else!
Rumble—
The Supreme Treasure killing power shrouding them descended without reservation, as though the heavens themselves were collapsing!
Even a defensive Dharma treasure like the Karma Fire Red Lotus could not contend with such peerless power.
None of them had the confidence to withstand it with Dharma treasures!
But—
Even if they could not hold it off, they still had to try!
The next instant.
Hum—
The Earth Book, which Zhen Yuanzi sacrificed with gritted teeth, bloomed with vast, heavy treasure light.
It further drew in the boundless power of the earth for reinforcement, forming a barrier that met the descending Chaos Bell!
Queen Mother of the West drove the Plain-Colored Cloud Realm Banner with all her strength, and as it fluttered, it transformed into clouds of light that filled the sky.
Amid that vast, misty expanse.
The cloud light transformed by the Plain-Colored Cloud Realm Banner became a world of its own, cutting off all attacks.
At the same time.
The Kunlun Mirror behind Queen Mother of the West shone brilliantly with treasure light as well, drawing upon the power of the Time Great Dao in an attempt to hide them beyond endless time!
At this moment.
With Zhen Yuanzi and Queen Mother of the West as the main force, and Red Cloud, Xuan Nü, and the others assisting.
They completely cast aside all the grudges born of their previous battle and joined forces, going all out to face the Supreme Treasure killing power descending from the Chaos Bell!
Kunpeng was the exception!
Facing the suppressing Chaos Bell, Kunpeng's expression turned incomparably ugly.
The reason was simple—
Kunpeng had no defensive spiritual treasure worth bringing out!
"Damn it!"
He let out a frustrated roar, savagery flashing in his eyes.
With a thought.
Screech—
An incomparably enormous divine Peng bird True Aspect manifested amid surging Yin-Yang immortal light.
The instant Kunpeng revealed his true aspect, he flew directly toward the descending Chaos Bell!
He was far too brave.
That figure, utterly refusing to avoid its edge as it charged headlong toward the Chaos Bell, even carried a few traces of resolute handsomeness!
Then.
Boom—
Kunpeng's enormous Peng bird aspect was easily crushed beneath the Chaos Bell like a stray dog by the roadside, without slowing its suppressing momentum in the slightest!
Then—
The brave and handsome Kunpeng fell into the Boundless Great Thousand World, unable to stir even the slightest ripple again.
Immediately afterward.
The Supreme Treasure killing power descending from the Chaos Bell, before the astonished eyes of Zhen Yuanzi, Queen Mother of the West, and the others—
Swish!
Did not collide in the slightest with the Earth Book, Plain-Colored Cloud Realm Banner, Kunlun Mirror, or any of the other Dharma treasures.
It directly bypassed every defensive method they had deployed—
And fell equally upon every one of them!
Boom!
"Pfft..."
Bang!
"Cough..."
Thud!
"Urgh..."
In but an instant—
Red Cloud, Zhen Yuanzi, Queen Mother of the West, Xuan Nü, and all the others fell from the sky one after another.
Their Innate Dao Bodies shattered, while their Dao Fruits and Three Corpses all suffered grievous injuries, leaving their auras extremely weak.
They lay within the Boundless Great Thousand World, moaning in pain, yet unable to struggle any further.
Lying upon the earth.
Feeling the heavy Great Dao injuries within themselves, the scattered group all stared in disbelief.
At the still-bright blazing sun in the heavens.
Madman Dan Jing—
Was actually this powerful?
They could not beat him.
They truly could not beat him—
In terms of raw power.
He possessed strength enough to forcibly break through a defensive spiritual treasure like the Karma Fire Red Lotus and casually suppress powerful figures like Minghe and Kunpeng!
In terms of methods.
He possessed the powerful means to pass directly through numerous defensive spiritual treasures such as the Earth Book, Plain-Colored Cloud Realm Banner, and Kunlun Mirror, directly striking at the true bodies of Quasi-Sage experts!
High damage in his left hand, high damage in his right.
How the hell were they supposed to fight that—
They gave up.
They had no choice but to give up!
After all, that madman Dan Jing did not accept surrender at all!
"The Chaos Bell is still far too overpowered!"
Watching Queen Mother of the West, Zhen Yuanzi, and the others get crushed, Dan Jing tossed the Chaos Bell in his hand and sighed.
It had raw power when raw power was needed, and methods when methods were needed.
At this stage—
In every battle, Dan Jing only needed to bring out the Chaos Bell to basically secure victory.
That was more or less like being in a wheelchair!
It made Dan Jing seem like nothing more than a Chaos Bell launch platform. He did not seem to have much presence at all, did he?
"No!"
The thought that he lacked presence had barely flashed through his mind before another thought rising in Dan Jing's heart overwhelmed it.
The corner of his mouth curled upward.
"I want the whole world to think that all my power lies in the Chaos Bell!"
"That way—"
"My Heaven-Earth Exquisite Mysterious Yellow Pagoda, Primordial Measure Ruler, God-Slaying Spear, and my own most powerful Great Dao cultivation can give future opponents plenty of surprises."
"Hehehe..."
It was not as though he had no opponents.
Though Dan Jing had never taken the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Jieyin, Zhunti, and the others seriously with his words.
That was merely tactical contempt!
In truth—
From a strategic perspective, Dan Jing still kept powerful figures such as the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Jieyin, and Zhunti firmly in mind!
Therefore.
Dan Jing had come up with a pretty good idea—
He wanted to use the Chaos Bell to pretend to be formidable!
When those enemies who disliked him and plotted against him finally made their move, he would catch them off guard.
