Chapter 1826: Punching A Bell, Shattering a Snake

Light circulated in the Clear Sky Mirror one time before its surface abruptly became as bright as daytime. Wearing a dark expression on his face, Haotian Hong raised the Clear Sky Mirror and unleashed an even brighter, denser column of golden light at the World Ender Jiuying, instantly penetrating its body and leaving behind a giant hole with perfectly smooth edges. Such was the golden light that even the seawater behind the Evil was vaporized into vacuum.

Eyes calm and collected, Xuanyuan Wang pointed the Xuanyuan Sword upward and summoned what looked like the images of many humans.

There were old men with spotty white hair, children who just learned how to walk, merchants who traveled all over the place with nary a break, farmers who tirelessly toiled the land, emperors who sat high in their imperial court, officials running about and conducting their businesses... Countless transparent people emerged from the sword and filed out from behind Xuanyuan Wang’s back. Then, they reached out and grabbed the sacred sword of the Human Way as if transcending even the laws of time and space.

“Cut!”

A low growl escaped Xuanyuan Wang’s throat as the sword gathering the thoughts of all humans and the power of the Human Way swung down viciously on a towering horn of Jiuying’s head. It overflowed with the ruthless determination to sever all bonds and protect the living.

There was a loud, metallic ringing before it was interrupted by a crack. Incredibly, the impervious draconic horn glowing a dark light was cut in two just like that! The draconic horn plunged into the boiling seawater below and kicked up a massive splash like a hill.

“Kill!”

Xiahou Zun’s eyes were bloodshot, and his fighting spirit rose to the point of madness. His long saber had transformed into many bloody ribbons that connected sky and earth.

Each strike of the “Nine Blades That Melt The Sun” was faster and stronger than the last. Each strike ripped space apart and looked like they would cut even the Blue Hole of Primal Chaos in two. This unstoppable intent that desired to split even heaven and earth into two landed viciously on the World Ender Jiuying’s gigantic body and inflicted countless wounds that saw the bones.

......

For a time, all sorts of Magia and secret arts were flying through the air. The noises of thunder, explosions, cuts, and impacts were unending. The World Ender Jiuying was completely engulfed in the storm of attacks.

However, despite being blasted to the point where it looked less snake and more pancake, the World Ender Jiuying could not seem to feel its injuries. It continued to constrict the towering dark yellow ball and glare hatefully at the master it was protecting, Ye Qing. All eighteen of its pupils were shining with a madness that would only cease after Ye Qing was dead!

Creeaaakkkk! Creeeeaaaakkk!

As the Evil continued to strengthen its grip, its tough scales rubbed roughly against the Earthly Sovereign Bell’s wall and elicited a series of scalp crawling noises that sounded like grinding metal. Sparks were flying everywhere.

Although the Profound Yellow Mother Qi was still burning away at its flesh until only the bones were left, the World Ender Jiuying could not seem to feel the pain. It just kept strangling the Earthly Sovereign Bell with ever-increasing strength.

Rattle rattle rattle...

The Earthly Sovereign Bell shook violently. Amazingly, the dark yellow light that blasted out of its wall like the sun was actually dimming at a visible rate, and the sacred artifact itself was shrinking bit by bit. The World Ender Jiuying’s do-or-die attack was actually working!

“Hahaha... you see this? This is all the Earthly Sovereign Bell amounts to! I will devour you once I have crushed this shabby bell!”

Seeing this, the World Ender Jiuying let out a raspy, hateful, and maddened laugh, “Once I’ve devoured you, I will imprison your mind in my stomach for eternity! You will watch how I turn the human world into a purgatory; here how billions of lives are tortured and extinguished for eternity! This... is the destiny of the Earthly Sovereign’s successor! Hahahaha...”

“It’s not even dark yet, and you’re dreaming already?”

Despite the fact that the Earthly Sovereign Bell was shrinking around him, Ye Qing remained unnaturally steady and indifferent. “It’s such a laughable dream too... How pathetic and amusing you are.”

As soon as he finished, Ye Qing shook like he was struck by thunder.

BOOOOOOOOOM—

At the same time, a pressure so vast that it was beyond description erupted from Ye Qing’s body.

His muscles and bones popped and cracked as he grew inch by inch, but it was unlike all the times where he grew larger. This... was a qualitative transformation.

Profound Yellow Mother Qi so dense that it almost turned into liquid poured out of every pore in Ye Qing’s body. They flowed and rose to the air like divine fire and painted him like a god of creation.

Thirty meters, one hundred and fifty meters, three hundred meters!

Inside the ball, Ye Qing had become so tall that his skull was almost touching the ceiling of the bell. Tangible streams of dark yellow qi were circling his body, and his pupils were no longer black and white like yin and yang. Instead, sun and moon were rising and setting, and stars were being created and destroyed inside his eyes.

A terrific power that seemingly towered over anything and everything washed out of him. It was none other than the Earthly Sovereign True Body!

“Roar!”

When the World Ender Jiuying sensed the intimidating power that appeared out of seemingly nowhere, its crazed laughter abruptly came to a stop. At the same time, an instinctive shock, fear, and unease seized its heart.

Ye Qing did not give it anymore time to react. His three-hundred-meter-tall Earthly Sovereign True Body slowly raised his right hand, clenched his fingers into a fist, and combined three dramatically different yet oh-so-terrifying fist intents into one!

Then, he threw out a punch.

Stillness that stilled objects, space, and even time itself!

Chaos that broke all arts and energies!

Annihilation that heralded the end of everything!

Suppression! Break! Annihilation!

The moment the three fist intents struck the Earthly Sovereign Bell’s wall, they miraculously weaved into each other and blended into one. Somehow, the power to suppress space and time, break all arts, and annihilate all life merged into one and ascended to a greater, more terrible, more overwhelming, and more incomprehensible fist intent!

Doesn’t matter if you’re a celestial, Buddha, god or demon.

All will submit before my fist!

THUMP—!!!

It was yet another bell chime from the Earthly Sovereign Bell, but it was neither sonorous nor grand like before. Instead, it was overwhelmingly murderous like the fist intent it was infused with!

The next moment, the sound wave washed outward. Before, the Earthly Sovereign Bell was dimming and shrinking due to the tireless and crazed constriction of the World Ender Jiuying. But now, it shone so bright that it painted the entire dark space of the Blue Hole of Primal Chaos dark yellow.

Right after that, the old bell swelled at a rapid pace and grew to the size of a mountain once more. Then, carrying within it the power to suppress all heavens, it gave the World Ender Jiuying a taste of its own medicine!

SSSSSSHHHHHRRRREEEEEEEEDDDDDDDD—

The shredding noises that followed were so deafening and scalp-numbing they could probably knock the lights out of a lesser Sage. It was the sound of flesh and scales being ripped apart; the noise of bones and muscles being stretched far beyond their limits!

The World Ender Jiuying was actually being ripped into pieces by the rapidly swelling Earthly Sovereign Bell!

Ink green blood instantly dyed half of the sky red. Unable to withstand the terrible power any longer, three screaming heads were ripped right off their body and sent flying helplessly toward the bottom like broken kites. They crashed into the churning seawater and kicked up massive waves of blood.

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA—”

The World Ender Jiuying let out a terrible scream like never before, body flinching backward and fleeing in panic. Its three heads hadn’t died yet despite having been separated from their torso either. They writhed and hissed while cutting a bleak arc toward their body, desperate to reconnect.
