The Phantom Skull: Whose Illusion Was It?

"Boom!"

Then, another terrifying roar rang out, and the entire valley shook slightly.

The next moment, the skull phantom of the Demon Queen was smashed to pieces, turning into a sky full of golden light and disappearing.

"How is this possible? This... how is this possible!? How could I possibly lose to you? You must have cheated! I will tear you to pieces, tear you to pieces!" Upon seeing this scene, the Demon Queen Hou Tu let out a hysterical roar, extremely unwilling.

Just now, Tieguai Li used the fourth move of the Nine Provinces Cauldron, the Nine Provinces Nine Provinces Seal.

Previously, Tieguai Li had refined the Nine Provinces Cauldron eighty-one times. Now, he has finally completely refined the Nine Provinces Seal, reaching the fifth seal. Its power has increased more than three times compared to before. The move just now was also the fifth seal.

"Hmph, that's not up to you! Break!" Tieguai Li snorted coldly, directly activating the Chaos Bell within his body. A terrifying energy surged from the Chaos Bell, and the next moment, the Chaos Bell suddenly pressed down on the Demon Queen's land.

Upon witnessing this scene, the Demon Queen's expression changed drastically. Her eyes were filled with fear. The next moment, she flapped her wings, and her speed suddenly increased dramatically as she fled, clearly intending to escape.

"Trying to escape? Too late!"

Upon seeing this, Tieguai Li snorted coldly, flipped his wrist, and bursts of dazzling golden light immediately emanated from the Chaos Bell, chasing after the Demon Queen's land.

Tieguai Li followed closely behind, clearly also intending to kill the Demon Queen.

Upon witnessing this scene, a bitter smile appeared on the Demon Queen's lips. Clearly, he knew he was doomed today.

However, although he was very fast, he couldn't shake off the Chaos Bell's lock-on at all, and soon he was caught up by the Chaos Bell.

"Pfft!"

With a muffled thud, the Chaos Bell pierced through the chest of the Demon Queen Tu, then emerged directly from her chest cavity.

The Demon Queen Tu let out a miserable scream as her nascent soul exploded instantly, turning into a cloud of blood mist that drifted between heaven and earth.

Then the Chaos Bell flew back to Tieguai Li's hand. Tieguai Li's gaze fell directly on the Demon Queen, and he gave her a cold look, his eyes full of contempt. Then, his figure flashed and disappeared into the horizon.

"Hehe, I didn't expect this Chaos Bell to be so interesting. Although I can't use it, this thing is very useful!"

"Hmm! It's pretty good, and I need it right now."

Just then, Xiao Xuan's voice suddenly rang out in Tieguai Li's sea of consciousness, his tone filled with excitement.

Clearly, at this moment, the Chaos Bell in Tieguai Li's hands was extremely attractive to her.

Upon hearing Xiao Xuan's voice, Tieguai Li was slightly taken aback, then asked directly, "Xiao Xuan, do you know the origin of this Chaos Bell?"

"Yes, of course I know. This Chaos Bell is a supreme Chaos Bell of Chaos Supreme Treasure, and it's Sage Artifact of the Nine Provinces Continent!" Xiao Xuan said.

"Sage Artifact from the Nine Provinces Continent?"

Upon hearing this, Tieguai Li was slightly taken aback, clearly not expecting that Xiao Xuan would know about this thing. However, as if he had just thought of something, a glint of light flashed in Tieguai Li's eyes. If this Chaos Bell was really as precious as Xiao Xuan said, then he absolutely could not give it up.

After all, what he lacks most right now is Sage Artifact.

"Yes, that's right. Although the Sage Artifact of the Nine Provinces Continent are not top-tier Sage Artifact, they are still first-rate." Xiao Xuan said directly.

"So you mean to say that the Chaos Bell in my hand is very likely Sage Artifact of the Nine Provinces Continent?" Tieguai Li immediately asked.

"Of course, besides this Nine Provinces Cauldron, what other Sage Artifact from the Nine Provinces Continent has such great power! Moreover, the quality of this Chaos Bell is not low. Although it is far inferior to the Nine Dragons Cauldron from back then, I believe it is definitely not bad!" Xiao Xuan said calmly, his tone clearly very proud.

"I never imagined I would possess such a top-tier Sage Artifact as the Nine Provinces Cauldron!"

Tieguai Li also said with a sigh.

He is now increasingly aware of the wonder of the Nine Provinces Cauldron, and even suspects that the things he possesses were given to him by the Nine Provinces Cauldron.

"So what do you plan to do? Will you take him back to your master?" Xiao Xuan asked.

"Of course I can't let him off so easily. I don't want anyone to know that I have something like this! And even if I take it back to show them, they won't dare to snatch it. After all, the Nine Provinces Cauldron is a sacred object of heaven and earth. If people find out, the consequences will be very serious!" Tieguai Li sneered.

To be honest, Tieguai Li is currently extremely eager to obtain the Nine Provinces Cauldron. If he could get his Nine Provinces Cauldron on it, his cultivation speed would definitely increase by dozens, or even hundreds of times.

Moreover, the Nine Provinces Cauldron are of immense value.

Therefore, Tieguai Li now desperately wants to snatch the Chaos Bell.

"In that case, are you planning to beat him into mincemeat or just kill him?" Xiao Xuan asked.

"Of course, kill them!"

Tieguai Li spoke without hesitation, clearly showing his deep hatred for the Demon Race.

Upon hearing Tieguai Li's reply, Xiao Xuan didn't hesitate at all, nodding and saying, "In that case, leave it to me! Just hand over the soul imprint!"

"Okay!" Tieguai Li nodded and handed the soul imprint directly to Xiao Xuan.

"Buzz!"

Seeing this, Xiao Xuan stretched out her right hand and pointed it directly at the Demon Queen's head. Instantly, a ball of milky white energy shot out from her hand and entered the Demon Queen's head.

In an instant, a huge muffled sound suddenly resounded throughout the sky. Then the entire space began to fluctuate violently, as if it might collapse at any moment.

"Snap!"

Immediately following, a crisp cracking sound rang out, and the next moment, a fist-sized, milky-white bead slowly flew out from the body of the Demon Queen Tu and landed in Tieguai Li's hand.

"Call!"

Upon seeing the milky-white bead, Tieguai Li took a deep breath and immediately stored it in his Qiankun Ring. His eyes were fixed on the Demon Queen, a deep greed flashing in them.

This bead was none other than the Demon Queen Earth Bead, a sacred artifact of the demon race. This Demon Queen Earth Bead was left behind by the Chaos Sacred Beast Demon Queen Earth and contained a rich essence of innate Wu Earth. This essence was a heaven-defying sacred medicine for ordinary cultivators.
