Explosions roared forth, with fireworks scattering in all directions.

Fire and light intertwined, and the booming sound seemed to resonate through the deepest reaches of the sky.

Even with preparation, Yu Yuan still couldn't avoid the strike. He was sent flying by the wild energy, his body drenched in blood, and the transparent information panel, long absent, flickered with a string of numbers anew.

"Good!"

A smile appeared on Yu Yuan's face.

He felt as if he had once again found a path toward Sainthood—as long as he kept fighting, relying on the [Reverse Action] BUFF to rapidly grow stronger until no one in the Three Realms and Six Paths could inflict the slightest injury on him!

Perhaps by then, he wouldn't be far from attaining Sainthood!

The current Donghuang Taiyi was a suitable opponent.

Injuring Yu Yuan with one strike was sufficient proof of Donghuang Taiyi's strength.

After all, it had not taken much effort for Yu Yuan to shatter the Fei Lian Demon Saint's physical body.

This was not Yu Yuan's first encounter with Donghuang Taiyi; they were already very familiar with each other.

As a countermeasure, his retaliation was as formidable as his Tianyuan Hammer.

"Bang!"

Yu Yuan swung his hammer, and the terrifying Divine Power swept out, shattering the space above Shouyang Mountain into cotton-like Chaos Qi.

The hammer was aimed directly at Donghuang Taiyi.

Having witnessed the heavy blow inflicted on the Fei Lian Demon Saint by the hammer, Donghuang Taiyi didn't dare to take the hit head-on and promptly summoned the Innate Treasure, Chaos Bell, in whose sonorous tolls, barriers of Chaotic Divine Light formed in front of him.

The defensive power of the Innate Treasure was beyond question.

Despite the impressive power of Yu Yuan's Tianyuan Hammer and the Divine Power fueled by his Blood Burning Mystical Skill, it still could not break through the Chaos Bell's defense.

But the barrier was also riddled with cracks and seemed on the brink of collapse.

This wasn't because the Chaos Bell was lacking, but rather because Donghuang Taiyi's Mana couldn't keep up with the consumption of the Chaos Bell.

In theory, only a Saint could truly bring out the full Divine Power of such an Innate Treasure.

Seeing this, Yu Yuan simply chose to back off.

He didn't want to shatter the Chaos Bell now, nor could he kill Donghuang Taiyi here.

Changing too much might affect the self-repair capability of the timeline, potentially preventing him from obtaining the Chaos Bell Fragments and thus from time and space travel...

That would be a loss for him.

"Kill!"

Donghuang Taiyi shouted coldly, with the Chaos Bell above his head making him seem like the supreme Chaos Demon God, as he reached out to strike at Yu Yuan, as if to suppress him then and there.

Yu Yuan met the attack head-on with his Tianyuan Hammer without showing weakness.

Their fists and hammer crossed paths.

In an instant, violent energy rampaged, inspiring awe.

At this moment, Ji Meng and Shang Yang, the two Demon Saints, could no longer directly engage in the battle.

They could only search for opportunities to launch sneak attacks from the sidelines.

If Yu Yuan was not careful and they caught him off guard, he might suffer greatly.

However, he did not concern himself with these two treacherous figures lurking in the shadows; instead, he focused all his attention on Donghuang Taiyi before him.

Donghuang Taiyi's strength was undeniable; each strike placed a heavy pressure on Yu Yuan.

Any other Quasi-Saint at the same Realm would likely have fallen long ago.

It was only Yu Yuan who could hold on for so long under the oppressively unassailable Donghuang Taiyi with the Chaos Bell, showing no signs of faltering.

Indeed, Donghuang Taiyi's Chaos Bell could be deemed a BUG-like defensive Supreme Treasure; even with all his means, Yu Yuan could not break it, nor could he make the Chaos Bell a mere spectator as he did last time.

With the Chaos Bell above his head, Donghuang Taiyi was nearly invincible below the level of Saints!

Unless Yu Yuan had an Innate Treasure in his hands, or something comparable to an Innate Treasure, like the Supreme Divine Objects.

For instance, the Slaying Immortal Sword Formation!

But fortunately, Yu Yuan had [Reverse Action].

At this point, this was a "Supreme Treasure" even more domineering than the Chaos Bell.

Now, any harm Donghuang Taiyi caused him was inadvertently aiding him to become even stronger!

Donghuang Taiyi was completely unaware of all this.

At this moment, he was obviously furious, his relentless attacks not pausing for even a moment, completely abandoning the previously maintained composure.

Although this seemed to provide Yu Yuan with an opportunity, in reality, Donghuang Taiyi was fearless because he was protected by the Chaos Bell and was not afraid of Yu Yuan's counterattacks, allowing him to launch a full-scale offensive.

Furthermore, the harassment and sneak attacks by Ji Meng and Shang Yang, the two Demon Saints, were also a great annoyance to Yu Yuan.

These two Quasi-Saints had entirely abandoned face-to-face confrontation, merely hiding in the distance to launch stealthy assaults with Divine Communication Skills, sometimes summoning thousands of Divine Thunders, and at other times, a star burning fiercely...

Yu Yuan, although not afraid, was extremely vexed by their harassment.

Therefore, he was constantly searching for a weakness in Donghuang Taiyi's attacks, but the opponent's offensive was as relentless as a water dripping from the eaves, giving him no opportunity whatsoever.

After a brief moment, Donghuang Taiyi suddenly closed in on Yu Yuan and punched him in the chest.

"Ugh—"

A bitter taste in Yu Yuan's throat followed by a spurt of fresh blood.

Overjoyed, Donghuang Taiyi hastened to activate the Chaos Bell to fix Yu Yuan in place, then threw another punch towards his head.

From a distance, Ji Meng and Shang Yang, the Demon Saints, also rapidly employed their Divine Skills, attacking Yu Yuan.

However, they didn't realize that Yu Yuan had intentionally exposed this flaw.

Just when Donghuang Taiyi believed he could inflict heavy damage on his opponent, Yu Yuan had already thrown the Tianyuan Hammer first.

Donghuang Taiyi exerted all his force to operate the Chaos Bell, hoping to extend the time his opponent was held in place.

Clad in white garments, untainted by the slightest speck of dust.

Only his eyebrows relaxed slightly due to the joy of soon dealing a heavy blow to his opponent.

In his eyes, Tian Yuan Ancestor in front of him was already at the end of his rope.

Now immobilized by his Chaos Bell, the subsequent steps would be much easier.

However, before he could inflict heavy damage on Yu Yuan, he saw a dazzling light emanating from Yu Yuan's Tianyuan Hammer, shooting straight towards the distant Ji Meng, the Demon Saint.

"Ah—"

A shrill scream echoed.

In an instant, Ji Meng, the Demon Saint, was struck on the head by the Tianyuan Hammer, his entire form twisted and deformed before exploding apart, turning into a skyful of fragments.

If it had been any other Immortal Gods, they would likely have perished on the spot.

However, Ji Meng, being a Quasi-Saint, had an almost Immortal Primordial Spirit, and just like Fei Lian, the Demon Saint, he was only severely injured without being completely eradicated in body and spirit.

Seeing Ji Meng follow in the footsteps of Fei Lian, the Demon Saint, Shang Yang widened her eyes in shock, filled with both relief and fear.

She had lived for countless years, never having seen such an adversary.

Fei Lian and Ji Meng, both of them Quasi-Saint powers, were hammered into "meat pies" by this Tian Yuan Ancestor wielding a hammer, one after the other.

This was a hundredfold, a thousandfold more violent than those Ancestor Witches!

Even though they were all Quasi-Saints, why was the disparity so great?

Not only her but Donghuang Taiyi himself was shocked by Yu Yuan's strike.

What followed was uncontrollable fury.

In front of him, this opponent still had the strength left to counterattack Ji Meng, the Demon Saint, despite his relentless bombardment, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to him.

For the proud Donghuang Taiyi, to prevent his prey from escaping, it was already valuable for him to join forces with Ji Meng and others to besiege Yu Yuan.

But in such a situation, the opponent still managed to consecutively inflict heavy damage on both Fei Lian and Ji Meng, the two Demon Saints!

This outcome seemed like an accusation of his incapability, a mockery of him.

"Kill!"

Donghuang Taiyi, with the Chaos Bell above his head, let out a fierce roar and then slapped his palm towards Yu Yuan.

Just at that moment, a towering figure emerged abruptly beside him, holding a pale Bone Spear enveloped in Evil Qi, fiercely attacking Donghuang Taiyi.

"Dang!"

The Bone Spear struck the barrier formed by the Chaos Bell, ringing out with a clear and melodious sound.

Donghuang Taiyi's eyes narrowed slightly, coldly identifying the person:

"Emperor Jiang!"
