The main feature of the Godslaying Bell is that the stronger the attack power, the stronger the rebounding sound wave it emits.

If it were Shui Qingbo's turn to act, it wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable situation.

Shui Qingbo hurriedly told Yuanbao to stop; this was not the time to use brute force.

Inside Xuanzhen Mountain, Li Xuan Ye chuckled dryly at Gao Xuan again: "Fellow Daoist Gao, your two junior sisters are quite capable. Unfortunately, the Godslaying Bell cannot be broken by external forces."

He shook his head and sighed: "The stronger the power, the stronger the rebound. That little girl was using the Five Elements Wheel, quite formidable. If encountered outside, even an old Daoist like me would have to avoid it from afar. But what a pity..."

Li Xuan Ye was not in a hurry to act, not because he was pretending to be calm, but because each activation of the Godslaying Bell consumed a tremendous amount of power.

Gao Xuan was trapped inside Xuanzhen Mountain, with nowhere to escape. All primordial qi was restricted by the Godslaying Bell; whatever skills Gao Xuan possessed, he couldn't use them.

This is also the strongest aspect of the Godslaying Bell; it is its own world. Even powerful figures at the Divinity Transformation or Mahayana Realm would gain no advantage.

Li Xuan Ye, with victory in his grasp, had no need to rush. While there was time, he could chat with Gao Xuan.

Gao Xuan now understood the might of the Godslaying Bell. He nodded to Li Xuan Ye: "The Xuanzhen Sect indeed has such a deep foundation, it truly exceeds my expectations."

Curious, he asked, "However, we are so close, if I raise my spear and strike, how would you defend against it?"

Li Xuan Ye's withered old face revealed a sinister smile: "Why don't you try?"

He continued, "I know you are adept at martial skills. The Kunyuan Divine Spear in your hand is also a divine artifact. You practice the White Tiger Imperfect Golden Body, which seems to have already reached completion. Flawless and invulnerable, indestructible golden body. Impressive, impressive..."

Li Xuan Ye was genuinely impressed; the spear strike with which Gao Xuan killed Li Buyi had greatly shocked him.

Li Buyi, holding the Profound Sun Sword, had real combat strength a level higher than his own.

Yet, he still couldn't withstand a single spear strike from Gao Xuan.

Earlier, a light strike from the Godslaying Bell would have obliterated any other Nascent Soul cultivator in both body and spirit. But Gao Xuan was completely unaffected. It was evident that his White Tiger Imperfect Golden Body had reached completion.

Only thus could he remain flawless and without leakage, and the power of the Godslaying Bell could not directly attack Gao Xuan's Nascent Soul.

Li Xuan Ye continued, "The Five Elements Sect truly has deep foundations, worthy of being the major sect that dominated the East Sea thousands of years ago. We have underestimated the Five Elements Sect."

He wasn't just being polite. Knowing the Five Elements Sect's secret techniques were so remarkable, he would have seized them to take a look.

The main reason was that the cultivators of the Five Elements Sect were inept, displaying mediocre battle power. Over time, no one took the Five Elements Sect seriously.

Li Xuan Ye curiously asked again: "Fellow Daoist Gao, who exactly are you to possess such power? Could you be the reincarnation of a venerable senior from the Five Elements Sect?"

Gao Xuan responded with a mysterious smile: "It's inconvenient to elaborate on that."

Li Xuan Ye wasn't disappointed; he replied slowly, "I see you as a supremely intelligent person, and you should realize that there's no way out for you at this point. Keeping those secrets holds no significance anymore."

"Fellow Daoist Li, you are destined to lose today, and the Xuanzhen Sect is also doomed."

Gao Xuan was very confident; he raised the Kunyuan Divine Spear and pointed it at Li Xuan Ye, but did not attack.

All primordial qi was suppressed by the Godslaying Bell, yet the Kunyuan Divine Spear still vaguely sensed the endless power of Thick Earth. However, this sense was like a mobile signal in an elevator, seemingly existent but faint.

Judging by the reaction of the Kunyuan Divine Spear, it wouldn't be completely suppressed by the Godslaying Bell. The two divine artifacts should be at a similar level, perhaps even with the Kunyuan Divine Spear being slightly stronger.

If he had refined the Kunyuan Divine Spear, he should be able to eliminate the old man with a single thrust now.

Without the primordial qi outside, Gao Xuan's flawless golden body contained its own heavens. At least for a short time, primordial qi could still be manipulated to fight.

However, Li Xuan Ye was the master of the Godslaying Bell. Sitting there, he naturally had the Godslaying Bell protecting him.

No matter how much force was used to attack Li Xuan Ye, the Godslaying Bell would block it. Additionally, the stronger the power used, the stronger the rebounding power of the Godslaying Bell.

Gao Xuan didn't need to act; just from Li Xuan Ye's slight movement with the copper hammer earlier, he had already seen through him.

Li Xuan Ye became a bit curious; where did Gao Xuan's confidence stem from? With Gao Xuan's intelligence, he couldn't fail to recognize his situation.

Could the opponent really have some method of overcoming the Godslaying Bell?

Li Xuan Ye felt it was impossible. Even if Gao Xuan refined the Kunyuan Divine Spear, there was no benefit to be gained inside the Godslaying Bell.

"At this point, Fellow Daoist still dares to speak so boldly. I am somewhat puzzled; what gives Fellow Daoist such confidence?"

Gao Xuan laughed heartily: "Since I dared to come, naturally, I have my assurance. As for what means I have, why don't you take a guess?"

Gao Xuan was not boasting; he had observed from outside Xuanzhen Mountain for a day and had discerned several aspects of Xuanzhen Mountain.

After all, he had honed his skills across many worlds; his insight was incredibly discerning.

Even without Wang Haichan's reminder, Gao Xuan wouldn't act recklessly.

Li Xuan Ye couldn't extract an explanation, yet Gao Xuan's composed demeanor made him somewhat uneasy.

With a slight movement of the small copper hammer in his hand, he was ready to activate the Godslaying Bell. Whatever means the opponent had, he would first use the Godslaying Bell to obliterate the opponent.

He simply couldn't believe that anyone could forcefully break the Godslaying Bell!

Seeing Li Xuan Ye preparing to attack, Gao Xuan suddenly reached out: "Wait, let me ask one more question."

Curious, he asked, "The Godslaying Bell in your hands surely can't change in size any more, right?"

In terms of the Godslaying Bell itself, it should have various transformations. However, Gao Xuan noticed that even striking the bell was strenuous for Li Xuan Ye; surely he couldn't freely alter the bell's size anymore.

Li Xuan Ye nodded and said: "If I had reached the Mahayana Realm, I could have refined the Godslaying Bell to be as vast as Mount Sumeru, or as small as a mustard seed. But for now, I'm just barely able to strike the bell."
