Checking in for 100,000 Years Chapter 1017: The Vajra Hammer Strikes the Chaotic Bell
Previously on Checking in for 100,000 Years...
"A mere true sun fire, what can it do to me?"
Facing the blazing crimson flames that poured down, Ye Yun offered an unperturbed smile.
Divine light radiated from his entire being as he trod upon the true sun fire, the Chaotic Bell held firmly in one hand, advancing step by step towards Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
With his Ancestral Dragon Body, an Indestructible Body of Ten Thousand Tribulations, the mere true sun fire was, quite literally, incapable of harming him.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi’s eyes flared with fierce intent; his wings gave a powerful beat, and he surged towards Ye Yun.
Hoo!
A pair of golden claws, comparable to the world’s most supreme divine-grade treasures, gleamed with blinding golden sharpness, slashing down with overwhelming force.
"Begone!"
Ye Yun uttered a cold shout.
He unleashed a punch.
This single strike was imbued with terrifying Ancestral Dragon Power, instantly obliterating all the surrounding void.
A colossal force, akin to an ocean capable of ending worlds, surged against the giant golden claws.
Boom!
The immense demonic form of the Three-legged Golden Crow, which had blotted out the sky, shuddered and was sent hurtling away once more.
Its incredibly solid golden claws were now coated in fresh blood, revealing horrifying cracks.
"How... how is this possible?"
Eastern Emperor Taiyi was utterly aghast, his disbelief palpable.
The revelation of his true form as the Three-legged Golden Crow represented his strongest state, and the power he wielded already contained aspects of potent laws of force.
This might was, without question, the most terrifying of existences.
Yet, before the Supreme God Sovereign, he was still sent flying with but a single punch.
The sheer immensity of the power contained within that strike was beyond comprehension.
"Cough cough..."
Having reverted to his human form, Eastern Emperor Taiyi staggered, his coughs wracking his body as he spewed forth copious amounts of blood.
The attack from the Supreme God Sovereign was simply too ferocious.
A single punch had inflicted grievous wounds upon him.
"Everyone, shall we move to assist the Eastern Emperor?"
From a distance, a man clad in black robes, who had been observing the unfolding battle, trembled as he voiced the question.
"Moving to assist would merely be offering ourselves as cannon fodder; we likely wouldn't even graze the opponent before perishing!"
Another man in black robes lowered his head, a profound terror gripping his heart, his body shaking involuntarily.
The recent exchange had etched a deep psychological scar upon all of them.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi, even in his utmost powerful state, had proven no match for the Supreme God Sovereign.
The three of them, despite being formidable experts of the Divine King Realm, were comparatively mediocre in power; they couldn’t even subdue Eastern Emperor Taiyi without him resorting to his transformed state. Rushing in now would be nothing short of suicidal, offering themselves up as mere fodder.
"Once we return to the Divine Land, we absolutely must report this matter to the Clan Leader, so that he may comprehend the terrifying nature of the Ancient Clan's divine skills!"
The eyes of one black-robed man flickered, his voice a hushed whisper as he desperately attempted to suppress the fear raging within.
"Eastern Emperor has been vanquished, and seriously wounded at that. Now, with the Supreme God Sovereign acting as an insurmountable obstacle, our mission—whether it can be accomplished smoothly—is uncertain..."
The black-robed man spoke with evident worry.
"What mission?"
Ye Yun raised his eyebrows slightly, having naturally overheard the conversation among the trio, and inquired indifferently, casting a casual glance their way.
"Nothing..."
The black-robed man responded in a flustered manner, offering no explanation.
Ye Yun's gaze subsequently turned icy.
The three felt as though they were facing an insurmountable foe, too intimidated to even draw a deep breath.
"We entered the Divine Land with the objective of locating a treasured artifact left behind by a formidable figure of my Youtian Devil Clan..."
Another black-robed man explained nervously.
"Why would you reveal such a thing..."
Beside him, a black-robed man tugged at his sleeve, questioning him with clear dissatisfaction.
"The Supreme God Sovereign is exceedingly powerful; perhaps nothing can be concealed from him."
The black-robed man sighed, offering a rationale.
"Indeed..." The other two men appeared to concur, falling silent and refraining from further speech, too apprehensive to utter another word.
Ye Yun offered a slight nod.
Regarding the arrival of the Youtian Devil Clan, seeking lost treasures within the Divine Land, he held minimal interest.
He possessed an abundance of his own treasures, making external acquisitions utterly unappealing.
Observing Ye Yun's indifferent demeanor, his apparent lack of interest in material wealth, the three men took note of this and felt a measure of relief.
"Eastern Emperor Taiyi, you have been defeated."
Ye Yun stated this fact calmly.
"I lack a companion spiritual treasure; therefore, losing to you is only natural!"
Eastern Emperor Taiyi drew a deep breath, his gaze fixed intently on the Chaotic Bell, and declared with a complex expression.
"You believe... possessing the Chaotic Bell would grant you the ability to defeat me?"
Ye Yun offered a slight smile.
This Eastern Emperor Taiyi, even at this juncture, remained unwilling to concede defeat.
Truly possessed of a certain tenacity.
"Indeed, from the moment of my birth, the Chaotic Bell has been my constant companion; it is my cherished companion spiritual treasure.
Were I to have had the aid of the Chaotic Bell, I could unquestionably have vanquished you with ease!"
Eastern Emperor Taiyi’s eyes flickered. “You are attempting to provoke me into returning the Chaotic Bell to you, correct?” he asked in a deep voice.
Ye Yun smiled unperturbedly. “Eastern Emperor Taiyi, you are attempting to provoke me into returning the Chaotic Bell to you, correct?”
A slight flush crept onto Eastern Emperor Taiyi’s face. He had indeed harbored such intentions earlier, and being seen through now left him feeling somewhat embarrassed.
“Take it. Consider the Chaotic Bell temporarily under your custody!” Ye Yun suddenly grinned.
With a flick of his hand, he sent the Chaotic Bell he possessed flying out, soaring towards Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
“Ah?” Eastern Emperor Taiyi was greatly startled. Why would this guy return the Chaotic Bell? What kind of scheme could be behind this?
A beam of yellow light flew towards him. He caught it decisively, and the moment the Chaotic Bell touched his hand, a familiar feeling immediately surged.
This familiar sensation conveyed the Chaotic Bell’s joyful exhilaration and a sudden, rising sense of security in Eastern Emperor Taiyi’s heart.
“Supreme God Sovereign, what are you planning?” Holding the Chaotic Bell, Eastern Emperor Taiyi looked at Ye Yun in shock.
“Nothing. I just want to defeat you outrightly,” Ye Yun stated with a slight smile.
This Eastern Emperor Taiyi, having been able to revive and traverse into this world, was someone Ye Yun naturally wanted to bring under his wing, much like Wu De. Furthermore, Eastern Emperor Taiyi, being an Ancient Demon Emperor, possessed innate pride; subduing him without a display of superior strength would certainly be unfeasible.
Therefore, Ye Yun returned the Chaotic Bell to Eastern Emperor Taiyi. He wanted Eastern Emperor Taiyi to battle him with his utmost fighting prowess.
“This…” Eastern Emperor Taiyi was momentarily stunned, clutching the Chaotic Bell, somewhat bewildered.
“The Supreme God Sovereign is indeed too arrogant; he actually returned the Chaotic Bell to the Eastern Emperor!”
“This Chaotic Bell, so greatly valued by the Eastern Emperor, is obviously a remarkable treasure. With its assistance, the Eastern Emperor is like a tiger with wings added, greatly enhancing his power!” Two men in black robes whispered amongst themselves.
Several seconds passed. Fixing his gaze on Ye Yun, Eastern Emperor Taiyi spoke in a deep voice, “Very well, let us fight boldly!”
“Come!” Ye Yun smiled lightly, taking out the Vajra Hammer. This Vajra Hammer was a divine-level, top-quality treasure. Although it slightly paled in comparison to the Chaotic Bell, it was yet sufficient.
Observing the giant, glittering hammer held by the Supreme God Sovereign, Eastern Emperor Taiyi’s fighting spirit ignited, his body blazing with a layer of true sun fire. Eastern Emperor Taiyi did not hold the Chaotic Bell above for defense; rather, grasping it as a weapon, he swung it directly at Ye Yun.
“Bring it on!” Ye Yun laughed boldly, wielding the Vajra Hammer and striking heavily upon it. Boom!
A thunderous boom erupted. The giant bell sound instantly resonated on the Chaotic Bell. A powerful sonic attack charged towards Ye Yun.
“Haha, delightful!” Watching the sonic attack of the bell sound, Ye Yun felt intrigued. He spun the hammer and smashed heavily at the sound wave. With a thunderous crash, this sonic attack was forcibly shattered by him.
“Eastern Emperor Taiyi, take my hammer!” Ye Yun laughed boldly, wielding the Vajra Hammer and charging forward with unstoppable momentum.
