Ye Yun easily defeated Eastern Emperor Taiyi in his true form, even though the latter used his strongest attack. The Eastern Emperor Taiyi, though injured, tried to claim the Chaotic Bell was his missing companion treasure. After the Youtian Devil Clan revealed they were searching for a lost treasure, Ye Yun, unimpressed, returned the Chaotic Bell to Eastern Emperor Taiyi, wanting to defeat him outright. The two then began a new battle, with Eastern Emperor Taiyi using the Chaotic Bell as a weapon and Ye Yun wielding the Vajra Hammer.

"What kind of treasure is that colossal hammer from the Supreme God Sovereign? How can it possess such immense power?"

Eastern Emperor Taiyi could only watch as the golden hammer descended, impacting the Chaotic Bell with formidable force.

Dang!

The Chaotic Bell vibrated minutely, its chime resonating with a prolonged, beautiful melody.

A flicker of apprehension coursed through his heart.

This Supreme God Sovereign standing before him was entirely beyond his comprehension of the Divine Soil Spirit's capabilities.

And it wasn't just him.

The trio of figures cloaked in black, observing from a distance, witnessed Ye Yun brandishing the Vajra Hammer against the Chaotic Bell. Not only had Ye Yun not been repelled, but his second strike had utterly obliterated the sonic wave attack emanating from the bell.

This display of impossibly vast strength left them gasping for breath!

Just as these four individuals stood dumbfounded.

Ye Yun's second assault arrived.

The Vajra Hammer plunged downwards, radiating a powerful and commanding aura, fierce and utterly unmatched, making it a terrifying sight.

Boom!

Another thunderous collision resounded as the Vajra Hammer made contact with the Chaotic Bell, which shuddered once more, releasing another clear, resonant chime.

The potent sonic wave generated by the chime surged back with unimaginable swiftness.

Ye Yun executed a rapid spin, reversing the sweep of the Vajra Hammer.

A flash of brilliant light pierced the air.

Capitalizing on the instant Ye Yun engaged the sound wave, Eastern Emperor Taiyi propelled himself forward, launching a direct punch at Ye Yun's exposed back.

This strike unleashed Eastern Emperor Taiyi's ultimate physical might.

Should it connect, even an expert at the high-level God King Realm would be reduced to a bloody mist.

"Attempting a surprise attack, are we?"

Ye Yun, keenly aware of Eastern Emperor Taiyi's covert maneuver, lifted an eyebrow and emitted a cold chuckle.

Abruptly, his free hand moved.

Tyrant's Twist—

Moving with the unstoppable momentum of a general drawing his blade.

This hand, though striking later, arrived first, its speed defying comprehension as it firmly seized Eastern Emperor Taiyi's fist.

"Gotcha!"

Ye Yun applied a subtle surge of strength, shouting with conviction, and an overwhelming power erupted from his arm.

Whoosh!

Eastern Emperor Taiyi felt his body convulse, utterly powerless to resist as a tremendous force hurled him into the vast expanse of the void.

"Even so, there's nothing I can do to him?"

Hovering in mid-air, Eastern Emperor Taiyi regained his balance, clutching the Chaotic Bell. His expression grew even more grave as he fixed his gaze upon Ye Yun.

That specific grab Ye Yun employed moments ago seemed anything but ordinary; it was a divine technique of unimaginable potency.

Its relentless velocity had already transcended all known limits.

"Is the Supreme Forgetting Emotions Path of the Ancient Clan truly this formidable?"

One of the black-robed observers, his attention fixed on Ye Yun, was profoundly shaken.

Though the Yungu Tribe had long been established in the Demon World, they possessed a certain understanding of many affairs concerning the Divine Land.

In ages past, when the Ancient Clan launched their invasion of the Divine Land, a ferocious conflict erupted. It was only through the combined efforts of the Divine Spirits and the Dragon Clan that the Ancient Clan was narrowly repelled.

Numerous legacies of the Ancient Clan remained scattered across the Divine Land in various forms.

While these legacies were not ideally suited for the cultivators of the Divine Land, a select few managed to overcome the odds, successfully mastering the techniques of the Ancient Clan.

The Supreme God Sovereign before them was indeed such a monstrously gifted individual.

The black-robed man harbored a growing concern: if more figures like the Supreme God Sovereign were to emerge, disseminating the Ancient Clan's legacy, the current power of the Divine Spirits could escalate to unfathomable heights.

Contemplating this possibility, his mood grew heavy.

"Eastern Emperor Taiyi, it's quite breezy up there, mind catching a cold!"

At that precise moment, Ye Yun's voice echoed through the void.

"Nonsense!" Eastern Emperor Taiyi bellowed in fury upon hearing the taunt, charging forward with the Chaotic Bell held high.

Ye Yun responded with an indifferent smile and advanced, Vajra Hammer poised.

Boom boom...

A continuous barrage of earth-shattering impacts reverberated through the void.

Mighty shockwaves, akin to cataclysmic tempests, radiated outwards in all directions.

The three black-robed figures from the Yungu Tribe found themselves compelled to constantly evade and retreat, caught in a dire and arduous predicament.

Boom boom boom...

Amidst this ferocious exchange, Eastern Emperor Taiyi began to show evident signs of exhaustion.

Every single strike delivered by Ye Yun's Vajra Hammer, devoid of any ostentatious maneuver, landed with crushing force upon the Chaotic Bell.

The impact transmitted through the Chaotic Bell relentlessly exacerbated his existing injuries.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi coughed up blood repeatedly, his internal wounds worsening with each passing moment.

After approximately two hours of combat,

Eastern Emperor Taiyi was thoroughly drenched in blood, staggering precariously, his vision dimming.

This spectacle.

Instilled a profound sense of despair within the three black-robed onlookers.

"It's over. Eastern Emperor Taiyi is so gravely wounded; it appears our mission this time is destined for utter failure!"

One of the black-robed individuals remarked with a rueful smile.

"Eastern Emperor Taiyi was truly a hero back in his day, and look at him now, battered into such a sorry state. If not for his incredibly strong body, he might have already succumbed to unconsciousness..."

Another man cloaked in black shook his head, his expression utterly dejected.

"Man proposes, God disposes. We truly believed this mission would be a cakewalk, never in a million years did we anticipate this Supreme God Sovereign to be so formidable..."

The third man in black was so disheartened his voice was almost choked with tears.

Back then—

If only they had managed to persuade Eastern Emperor Taiyi to exercise a little more patience.

They could have waited for the seal to break, seized the treasure, and then let Eastern Emperor Taiyi and the Supreme God Sovereign fight each other to the bitter end; that would have been the perfect scenario.

This way, nothing would have been delayed.

As the three continued their lamentations, filled with deep regret,

"Cough!"

Eastern Emperor Taiyi let out a cough, his hand instinctively covering his mouth as he suppressed the blood threatening to erupt from his throat.

"Eastern Emperor Taiyi, you are clearly no match for me. Will you still stubbornly resist?"

Ye Yun, wielding the Vajra Hammer, inquired with an indifferent tone.

"Is that so?"

Eastern Emperor Taiyi managed a wry smile before charging at Ye Yun once more, his momentum surging with renewed vigor and his eyes igniting with a fierce light.

"Not good, that fellow is attempting to self-detonate again..."

Witnessing this, how could Ye Yun fail to grasp Eastern Emperor Taiyi’s intention?

After all, this was not the first time this particular individual had resorted to such a tactic, having done so once before during the Primordial era.

As the Ancient Heavenly Emperor, Eastern Emperor Taiyi was undeniably a figure who held no fear of death.

Tyrant’s Twist!

At this critical moment, Ye Yun unleashed the supreme skill of Tyrant’s Twist once more.

He extended his hand, an irresistible force manifesting, arriving after but attaining its objective first.

Whoosh... With a firm grip, he seized the Chaotic Bell and then yanked it back with fierce intensity.

An immense power surged through the Chaotic Bell, causing Eastern Emperor Taiyi to feel as though his arm was on the verge of snapping.

He could no longer maintain his hold on the Chaotic Bell.

Consequently, Eastern Emperor Taiyi could only watch powerlessly as the Chaotic Bell was reclaimed by Ye Yun.

Gripping the Chaotic Bell, Ye Yun swiftly moved forward, delivering a heavy blow to Eastern Emperor Taiyi’s chest with the Vajra Hammer.

Boom!

Eastern Emperor Taiyi was sent hurtling backward through the air.

This time, Ye Yun had exerted far too much force, resulting in Eastern Emperor Taiyi losing consciousness.

However.

Thanks to his incredibly resilient physique, Eastern Emperor Taiyi regained his senses mere moments, two or three breaths, after being knocked out.

Raising his hand, he gazed at his now empty palm, his dejected expression deepening. His failed attempt at self-detonation left him feeling profoundly unsettled.

"I have lost..."

After a moment of profound silence, Eastern Emperor Taiyi lowered his head, speaking the words slowly.

By this point.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi finally had to concede that the individual before him, in terms of sheer strength, cultivation techniques, divine skills, and even the treasures they possessed, completely and utterly surpassed him.
