Above the Nine Heavens, the Gang Wind was piercingly cold.

With a sharp phoenix cry, a crimson Immortal Sword soared into the sky, with red light scattering around the blade, resembling a blood-red phoenix spreading its wings and flying, its body surging with blazing flames, dazzling and mesmerizing.

The light from the sword surged, slashing through the sky, making the surrounding air seem to solidify.

Upon witnessing this scene, Yu Yuan calmly took out a double-winged Treasure Money without any hesitation and hurled it towards the blood phoenix.

"Clang!"

The Treasure Money struck the crimson Immortal Sword, producing a crisp and pleasant sound.

Then, the blood-red phoenix immediately dissipated into nothingness, leaving only the crimson Immortal Sword to fall from the sky.

Yu Yuan stretched out his hand and serendipitously caught it.

At this moment, the Immortal Sword, forged from the flesh of the Ancient Blood Phoenix, lay obediently in his hand, no longer exuding any vicious aura, but instead trembling slightly as the spirit within the sword sent signals to Yu Yuan, requesting recognition of its new master.

Seeing this, Kong Xuan's expression changed drastically.

He did not expect the Immortal Sword that he had painstakingly nurtured for countless years to be snatched away by someone else so suddenly.

He had actually seen this scene countless times before.

Only previously, he was always the one seizing treasures.

But now the tables had completely turned, and it was his Spiritual Treasure being taken by someone else!

This made him both shocked and furious.

"What's wrong?"

Yu Yuan, watching his astonished expression, hands behind his back, spoke indifferently, "He who seizes treasure from others will have his treasure seized from him! Do you think only you are allowed to take others' treasures, and others cannot take your Spiritual Treasure?"

"Hmph." Kong Xuan snorted coldly, forcing himself to calm down.

After taking a deep breath, his eyes flashed with dazzling colors again.

In the next instant, his body radiated a five-colored Divine Light, making it seem as if a Saint had descended into the world.

"Your Treasure Money seems to be an Innate Spiritual Treasure, and I have quite the affinity with it. Let's see how I will take this Innate Spiritual Treasure you have conjured today!"

Kong Xuan spoke loudly, his voice containing an undeniable undertone.

"Hehe... are you trying to provoke me?" Yu Yuan chuckled lightly, glancing at the Treasure Money in his hand and said, "Then you are going to be disappointed."

Kong Xuan said sternly, "Are you afraid to use that Treasure Money again?"

"It's not that." Yu Yuan shook his head, speaking earnestly, "You should know that the Treasure Money is not something just anyone can use. If it falls into your hands, I'm afraid you might end up dead."

"Hmph, if you are too scared to use it, that suits me just fine," Kong Xuan said coldly.

With that, he once again conjured a bamboo flute, aiming it straight at Yu Yuan's head.

"You think I'm bluffing?" Yu Yuan smiled coldly, "Well then, since you think the Treasure Money can be taken by you, you might as well give it a try."

With that, he conjured the Treasure Money again.

Seeing this, Kong Xuan's eyes gleamed, hastily conjuring a five-colored Divine Light, attempting to snatch the Treasure Money away.

After all, the Treasure Money was a superior Spiritual Treasure with a mystical ability to seize other's treasures, which would greatly benefit him and was definitely not to be missed.

"Go!"

He uttered a low shout, and the five-colored Divine Light flew towards the Treasure Money like a swift wind.

However, at that moment, Yu Yuan suddenly conjured a huge Ancient Bell from above his head, engraved with mysterious runes that gave off an exceedingly mystical aura.

"Chaos Bell!"

Kong Xuan's face drastically changed, his eyes looking at the Chaos Bell with a very complex gaze.

It was a gaze filled with excitement, greed, desire, wariness, fear, surprise, and many other emotions.

At this moment, the Ancient Bell gave Kong Xuan, the Daoist, a very dangerous feeling, causing him to feel a tingling sensation on his scalp.

"Ding!"

A light sound rang out, and the Treasure Money hit the bamboo flute, easily knocking down this 'bait' Spiritual Treasure held by Kong Xuan.

Meanwhile, the dazzling five-colored Divine Light that Kong Xuan conjured also landed on the Treasure Money, intending to reel it back in.

"This Treasure Money, you cannot take away!"

Yu Yuan called out, and the light from the Chaos Bell above his head brightened a few degrees.

"Dang!"

A clear sound of the bell resonated.

Kong Xuan instantly shivered inside, cursing in his mind and quickly manipulated his body's five-colored Divine Light to defend.

However, in the next instant, he was shocked to find his five-colored Divine Light frozen in place; not to mention reeling back the Treasure Money, he couldn't even twitch.

The double imprisonment of time and space froze this area completely.

Even the five-colored Divine Light couldn't escape!

"Damn it!"

Kong Xuan was greatly alarmed, hastily waving his hand in an attempt to disperse the Space-Time Golden Hoop, but found it to be futile.

Although he also had some understanding of the Dao of Space, his knowledge was minimal, just superficial, and when compared to the Chaos Bell's mastery of the Dao, it was like comparing a failing primary school student to a top-tier scholar.

With the Chaos Bell above his head, Yu Yuan's right wrist's Vajra Bracelet stimulated, crazily unleashing Dao Fire, forming countless Order Divine Chains tightly entwining him.

Yet even so, none of them could stop him in the slightest.

Yu Yuan calmly looked at Daoist Kong Xuan, extending his hand with a gentle gesture, and the Treasure Money returned to his hand.

Seeing this indifferent and serene scene, the face of Daoist Kong Xuan slightly reddened, only then understanding that his little scheming was truly insignificant to his opponent.

"With the Chaos Bell in hand, do you think you can do whatever you want?"

Daoist Kong Xuan roared a bit hysterically, his body's five-colored Divine Light flashing wildly, yet he was completely unable to free himself from Yu Yuan's control.

"Yes." Yu Yuan nodded, seriously saying, "With the Chaos Bell in hand, indeed I can do whatever I want in your presence!"

Until now, the Chaos Bell was only missing one last fragment to fully restore its power as an Innate Treasure, and even at its current state as a supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure, it was already powerful enough to easily crush Quasi-Saint existences like Daoist Kong Xuan.

Daoist Kong Xuan could not be underestimated.

Especially his Five-colored Divine Light, enveloping all things with the power of the Innate Five Elements, nothing could escape its sweep, be it Spiritual Weapons or Spiritual Treasures, or even the opponents themselves.

However, the Chaos Bell is an Innate Treasure that transcends the Three Realms, not confined to the Five Elements!

Even without fully regaining its peak, it is incomparable to that mere flash of Five-colored Divine Light!

With the Chaos Bell in hand, Daoist Kong Xuan's Five-colored Divine Light couldn't even touch a single hair on him.

Daoist Kong Xuan also realized this, sneered and said, "So you're merely relying on the Chaos Bell, how about putting it away and having a fair fight with me?"

"Hm?" Yu Yuan looked at him curiously, "Having a treasure and not using it, yet competing mana with you? Are you silly or am I?"

Daoist Kong Xuan: "..."

"If you dare not, then let's end this here!" While Kong Xuan spoke, he took out the various Spiritual Treasures he had previously swept away from Wu Zhi Qi, Liu Huan, Quyang Immortal, and Princess Long Ji, sitting straight as he said to Yu Yuan, "I can give all these Spiritual Treasures back to you, afterwards I'll return to my cave mansion and no longer interfere in your affairs with Great Shang... What do you think, fellow Daoist?"

"Hm?" Yu Yuan looked at him puzzledly, "We were fighting well, what are you doing?"

Daoist Kong Xuan's expression darkened slightly, pretending to be ignorant here, huh?

"Oh…"

At this moment, as if just realizing, Yu Yuan feigned sudden enlightenment, "Ah, you're admitting defeat, asking me to spare you, right?"

Admitting defeat?

Daoist Kong Xuan's expression turned even uglier.

Yet he didn't deny it.

Because facing Yu Yuan under the Chaos Bell, and Yu Yuan wielding the Treasure Falling Gold, he really did not know how to win.

Admitting defeat, then admitting defeat.

Better to preserve a life for there is always a chance later!

The most important thing is to preserve one's life now.

At this time, Yu Yuan said cheerfully: "Since you've said so, then alright... I'll put away the Chaos Bell and have a good fight with you, to show you the difference between us even as Quasi-Saints!"

"Hm?"

When Kong Xuan heard the first part, he thought the opponent agreed to let him go, but after hearing the latter part, he was immediately furious.

"Are you really taking me, Kong Xuan, for someone easy to bully?" Furious, Daoist Kong Xuan's eyes swirled with Five-colored Divine Light, as he rebuked Yu Yuan: "Anyway, I am a Phoenix who achieved Dao from the Ancient Times, the first Peacock between Heaven and Earth, and yet you dare to humiliate me like this!"

Yu Yuan raised an eyebrow, indifferently said, "So what if I humiliate you, I still want to beat you up!"

Saying that, he materialized the Tianyuan Hammer in his hand, then instantly moved in front of Daoist Kong Xuan, swinging the hammer straight towards his head.

With the appearance of the Tianyuan Hammer, suddenly the weather changed and Heaven and Earth lost their colors.

The vast space shattered inch by inch under the hammer and created a unique zone, firmly absorbing Daoist Kong Xuan, causing him to expend a tremendous amount of mana with every move.

"It seems the Vice Sect Hierarch is getting serious!"

Witnessing the apocalyptic scene from that hammer strike, the spectators far away on white clouds felt their scalps go numb, even the highly skilled Wu Zhi Qi involuntarily clenched his fists, his blood surging, unable to stop imaging how to defend against such a hammer strike.

The answer was there was no way to defend!

With his Dao Xing, under these circumstances, he could only do his utmost and then be smashed to dust by the hammer.

At this moment, Daoist Kong Xuan also realized the dire situation.

At this moment, the threat of death chilled him to his core.

The terrifying Divine Power carried by the Tianyuan Hammer almost froze his Primordial Spirit.

He had no doubt that if the hammer fell, it would instantly turn him into dust.

His eyes swiftly changed in the five-colored Divine Light, and the rising Five-colored Divine Light behind him was also restless.

But the next moment, he suddenly transformed into a verdant Divine Bird, dragging its splendidly colorful tail feathers, spreading its wings, and instantly slicing through the sky, fleeing like a long rainbow.

In a blink of an eye, he had already escaped millions of miles.

Facing Yu Yuan's hammer, he ultimately chose to flee.

It was a pity though, Yu Yuan's Divine Thought had already firmly locked him down, closely following behind, and the distance between them rapidly closing.

Seeing this, Daoist Kong Xuan hurriedly dove down, taking refuge in the boundless expanse of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

Yet the Tianyuan Hammer continued its unstoppable pursuit.

Every towering mountain it passed, brought upon by the Divine Power of the Tianyuan Hammer, was smashed into dust, even breaking the space itself, spewing violent earth, water, fire, and wind.

In just an instant, the Southern Continent had acquired a massive spatial rift, only a few hundred miles wide but thousands of millions of miles long.

Seeing Yu Yuan relentlessly pursuing and getting closer, Daoist Kong Xuan had no choice but to once again unleash his Five-colored Divine Light toward the Tianyuan Hammer.

However, at that moment, a Chaos Bell appeared in the air, instantly immobilizing the Five-colored Divine Light.

Daoist Kong Xuan's face changed dramatically, his long splendid tail feathers flickered again as he tried to flee using tunneling light.

But he hadn't run far before Yu Yuan caught up and hammered him directly on the forehead.

"Bang!"

With a huge sound, the space for nearly ten thousand miles around Kong Xuan instantly shattered.

And Kong Xuan's Quasi-Saint level body was directly exploded into a mist of blood under that hammer.

In the next instant, a golden radiance in the form of a fine-crowned red Peacock emerged, filled with grief, said, "You clearly said you wouldn't use the Chaos Bell!"

"Heh, you believed that? Who would die if not you?"

Yu Yuan coldly replied, then summoned the Chaos Bell to directly capture his Primordial Spirit.

Following that, he activated the Chaos Bell, suppressing the earth, water, fire, and wind.

Only the sound of "Dang Dang Dang" of the bell continuously rang out, the previously shattered space swiftly closed up, the violent earth, water, fire, and wind also gradually calmed down, and even the mountains crushed into powder were also restored to their original state as time reversed.

The only difference was that the fine-crowned red Peacock was no longer to be seen.
