He still wanted to continue arguing, but Emperor Jiang stopped him and said seriously to Yu Yuan, "After killing Donghuang Taiyi, you can have first pick of the treasures on him!"

Emperor Jiang's offer was crisp and seemed very fair.

"What if I choose the Chaos Bell first?" Yu Yuan said with a smile.

Emperor Jiang looked deeply at Yu Yuan and then slowly replied, "Then the Chaos Bell will belong to you!"

"Hmph!"

Donghuang Taiyi's brow furrowed slightly, unable to hide the anger in his eyes.

He wasn't dead yet!

These damnable Ancestor Witches had already started planning how to divide the treasures on him!

Did they really think he was a done deal?

But despite his intense anger, he kept silent.

Anything he said at this time would be futile.

Now, all he had to do was hold on until reinforcements arrived!

Zhu Rong Ancestor Witch, watching from the side, saw Yu Yuan's expressions and couldn't help but scoff coldly, his eyes filled with mockery, "How about it, are you satisfied now?"

Clearly, in his eyes, Yu Yuan was a fellow who forgets his principles for profit.

"Hehe~" Yu Yuan chuckled lightly and did not respond.

It wasn't that he didn't want to rebut, he just felt it was completely unnecessary.

"I have to say, this offer is quite tempting to me."

Under the marginally nervous gaze of Donghuang Taiyi, Yu Yuan looked seriously at Emperor Jiang Ancestor Witch and said, "But I still choose to refuse!"

"What, you don't want the Chaos Bell?" Emperor Jiang Ancestor Witch frowned slightly and asked Yu Yuan gravely.

"Of course not, but even if you give me the Chaos Bell now, I'm afraid I won't be able to take it." Yu Yuan said earnestly.

"What do you mean?" Emperor Jiang Ancestor Witch's face darkened, "Are you implying that I'm playing games with you?"

"That's not it." Yu Yuan shook his head, "It's my own problem."

He wasn't lying.

Because if he obtained the complete Chaos Bell at this moment, then the incidents involving the fragments of the Chaos Bell he acquired in his future would not exist!

This error, contradictory to the timeline, was beyond his current mastery of the Time Dao to erase in a logical and reasonable manner.

Should such a serious time paradox occur, it would likely alarm the Heavenly Dao immediately.

At that time, uncontrollable events may occur.

Considering this, Yu Yuan chose to refuse the temptation to have the complete Chaos Bell and expressed his regret, "Your offer doesn't really benefit me at all."

"Huh?" Emperor Jiang Ancestor Witch said somewhat bewildered: "That's the Chaos Bell, are you sure you don't want it?!"

"Yes, the Chaos Bell." Yu Yuan nodded, "As of now, that thing only brings disadvantages to me."

"Disadvantages?" Donghuang Taiyi, who was surrounded by several Ancestor Witches, was also taken aback, not understanding what Yu Yuan meant at all.

Emperor Jiang Ancestor Witch did not understand his thoughts either, frowning and looking at Yu Yuan. Seeing Yu Yuan's genuine demeanor, he sighed regretfully, "Since the fellow Daoist does not wish to participate, we should not force the issue."

With that, he turned his head and said coldly to Donghuang Taiyi, "But even if Tian Yuan Daoist does not want to intervene, today you cannot escape death!"

"That's not necessarily true!"

Donghuang Taiyi sneered.

Hearing Yu Yuan's rejection of Emperor Jiang's proposal, his face regained its previous confident look.

Among the crowd, what he feared most was Yu Yuan.

Because the latter's divine power was unmatched, threatening the Chaos Bell on his own.

With only the six major Ancestor Witches now, although he was still no match, he could rely on the Chaos Bell to hold out for enough time, increasing his chances to wait for reinforcements.

Moreover, there were Ji Meng and Shang Yang, two Demon Saints, watching like tigers by the sidelines, ready to break the spatial blockade and rush in to help at any moment.

For Emperor Jiang and the other Ancestor Witches, the original plan was disrupted, having wasted so much time and still unable to persuade the powerful "enforcer" Yu Yuan, they could only proceed on their own.

"Kill!"

With an order from Emperor Jiang Ancestor Witch, the six major Ancestor Witches attacked Donghuang Taiyi simultaneously.

Emperor Jiang wielded the Bone Spear, unmatched in valor, every swing bringing forth the sound of wind and thunder; Zhu Rong handled two Fire Dragons that blazed furiously, burning the air around them; Gonggong swung a copper pillar, each fall capable of shaking the entire sky, chilling to the core; Xuan Ming transformed into a black mist, instantly traversing space and roving around...

At this moment, Donghuang Taiyi also displayed his unrivaled divine majesty, with golden Feather Blades flashing like lightning, each swing able to slice through the air, cutting across the sky.

Each slash was capable of severing the ferocious offensive of the Ancestor Witches, to the amazement of all.

But the most crucial was still the Chaos Bell.

At this moment, this Innate Treasure kept ringing ceaselessly, standing tall amidst the siege of the six mighty Ancestor Witches, never once breaking apart.

The six Ancestor Witches' relentless assault made the scene exceptionally fierce.

At times, the Ancestor Witches joined forces, at others, they dispersed, trying to catch Donghuang Taiyi's vulnerabilities.

And Donghuang Taiyi responded coolly, counterattacking with the speed of sudden thunder that could not be covered by the ears, each time managing to strike the Ancestor Witches' weaknesses.

The situation grew tenser, and the atmosphere heavier.

The combat between them became increasingly intense, and the speed of switching between offense and defense grew faster and faster.

Relying on the divine might of the Chaos Bell, Donghuang Taiyi not only fended off the assault of the six Ancestor Witches but also attempted to break the spatial blockade, each stroke of Divine Light sweeping across the area like lightning from the Nine Heavens.

At this time, the entire sky above Shouyang Mountain was enveloped by fierce and malignant energy.

Heavenly and earthly vitality scattered, and the air was permeated with the intense intention to kill.

Donghuang Taiyi, with the Chaos Bell above his head, wielding the Fiery Sun Sword, and surrounded by the Great Sun Golden Flames, stood at the center of the Ancestor Witches' siege, amidst the surging waves and the catastrophic winds and tsunamis.

Emperor Jiang produced a Jade Banner in his hand, with myriad ferocious souls worshiping on the banner's surface, its terrifying power effortlessly tearing apart the void, yet it could never penetrate within a hundred zhang of the Chaos Bell!

"Taiyi, you old bird, let's see if your Great Sun Golden Flames are fiercer or my Burning Sky Intense Flame is," Zhu Rong Ancestor Witch roared as he swallowed a bead as hot as fire, the terrifying crimson flames engulfing his body, turning him into a towering flame giant who reached out to grab Donghuang Taiyi.

However, with a loud "clang" from the Chaos Bell, a solid barrier was formed, firmly stopping his giant hand from getting through.

At the same time, Xuan Ming Ancestor Witch waved her jade hand lightly, and immediately countless black clouds obscured the sky, followed by a torrential downpour of black rain.

That pitch-black rainwater contained terrifying energy capable of erosion, quickly engulfing Donghuang Taiyi and swiftly eroding the thick golden barrier around his body.

Yet the Chaos Bell rang incessantly, and the golden barrier continued to repair its eroded parts.

Both sides entered a phase of mutual struggle.

Judging by the erosion speed, it would be difficult to break through this defense line in a short period.

"These Ancestor Witches each possess distinct powers, and their coordination is quite interesting."

Yu Yuan stood atop a mountain peak, watching the battle from a distance, witnessing the surging divine light and the rampant vitality, with the collision sounds being deafening.

"What a pity, it's still very hard to break the Chaos Bell."

Yu Yuan felt somewhat regretful.

Without the protection of the Chaos Bell, Donghuang Taiyi would have been unable to withstand the six Ancestor Witches.

At this moment, sounds of crying and wailing suddenly came from below.

Yu Yuan looked down and saw that the leftovers of the battle had affected the people of the Human Race below.

Especially the black rain that could erode everything.

Whether it was the mountains and rivers, or fish, insects, birds, beasts, including those of the Human Race, as long as they were touched by a single drop, they would be directly eroded away.

The moment the black rain fell, many men and women of the Human Race were turned into pools of pus and blood.

Yu Yuan frowned, hesitated not, and instantly flashed to the ground, then let out a great roar.

"Retreat!"

The terrifying sonic wave, under his deliberate control, congealed into a mass, directly sweeping up those black raindrops and hurling the host of Ancestor Witches into the sky!

Had it not been for their timely steadying of their stances, they might have been blown away into the outer space.

"Hm?"

Xuan Ming Ancestor Witch stopped her Divine Skills in astonishment, not understanding why he suddenly acted out.

Emperor Jiang Ancestor Witch also frowned and looked towards Yu Yuan, eyes filled with confusion.

And the hot-tempered Zhu Rong Ancestor Witch could not restrain his anger as he said, "What are you up to now, whose side are you really on?"

Yu Yuan glanced at him, speaking in an unfriendly tone: "Take a guess!"
