86: The clock is good.

Clang!

The roar of the chaos bell shattered mountains for hundreds of millions of miles. Taiyi, eyes bloodshot, suspended high in the sky, his golden feathered robes fluttering in the violent bell waves.

With every step he took, the Void Realm beneath his feet was blasted open with a crack by the Solar True Fire.

"Vile beast! Get out here for this seat!"

Another sky-shaking ring of the bell resounded, and the rivers of the Southern Land surged backward in unison as countless birds and beasts fled in terror.

Solar True Fire blazed around Taiyi's body, dyeing half the sky a crimson-gold.

"Hiding? I'll see how long you can hide!"

He violently swung the chaos bell, smashing it down hard toward the continuous mountain range below.

As the earth veins cracked and crumbled, countless beings in secluded cultivation were startled, yet the specific aura he loathed was nowhere to be found.

"Useless! All of you are useless!" Taiyi vented his anger, scanning the creatures fleeing in panic, scaring them until their Soul Flew Away and Spirit Scattered.

In the distance, a red figure stood quietly, the corners of her mouth curling slightly as if she were watching a good show.

Taiyi was the protagonist of this play, but merely a clown.

Suddenly, Taiyi seemed to sense something. He whipped his head around and found someone standing behind him at some unknown point, looking at him with a playful expression.

Who could be so arrogant as to completely disregard him?

The bell vibrated. Just as he was about to strike, he suddenly realized he could not see through the other party's cultivation.

Hurriedly pressing down the chaos bell, Taiyi's golden pupils contracted slightly.

The crimson figure before him seemed to stand there casually, yet she gave him an unprecedented sense of pressure.

It was a woman clad in phoenix-patterned feathered robes. Every plume flowed with Innate dao rhyme, and her every movement carried an Innate nobility.

Not a trace of magic power fluctuation could be seen around her, yet she caused the Solar True Fire within Taiyi's body to stagnate.

When her gaze swept over, Taiyi felt as if everything about him had been seen through.

Yet the other party was like an ancient mirror shrouded in mist; no matter how he activated his Golden Crow Divine Eyes, he couldn't see even a hint of her origins.

Intuition told him that this person was not to be trifled with.

Yuan Feng had been there for quite a while. She had originally come to give the person making such a racket a lesson.

But upon seeing Taiyi, she changed her mind.

This place was actually some distance from the Immortal Volcano, so what if Taiyi was wreaking havoc here? It was nothing more than impotent rage.

Rather, Taiyi's impotent rage was quite amusing for Yuan Feng to watch.

She could also see that this person's origins were extremely profound and extraordinary; he should be another Innate Sacred Being, and one of the most top-tier existences among them.

The dao rhyme flowing from his body, as dazzling as the Sun Star, was not concealed in the slightest.

Strength at the Daluo Realm was not enough to make her care much.

But the large bell in his hand possessed unparalleled power; among the many treasures Yuan Feng had seen, it should rank near the top.

The two stared at each other for a long time, neither speaking.

Finally, Taiyi could no longer help himself; facing that gaze put considerable pressure on him.

"Who is Your Excellency?"

Taiyi asked in a heavy voice, the chaos bell quietly protecting him in front.

At this moment, he had already forgotten his purpose for coming here.

Compared to the thief who stole energy from the Sun Star, he was more interested in this person; it was a mutual attraction between fellow fire-wielders.

However, the other party's non-responsive attitude to his question made him very displeased.

Taiyi frowned slightly and continued, "I ask you, what place is this, and who are you?"

Yuan Feng's lips parted slightly. "Why have you stopped smashing things?"

She had no interest in answering such boring questions, as Taiyi's attitude also made her somewhat displeased.

Furthermore, she wanted to see more of the bell's power and how it differed from Lu Shu's Golden Bell.

At this irrelevant response, the anger in Taiyi's heart grew even stronger, and he subconsciously released his pressure.

"Is Your Excellency being too rude? With such an attitude, I'm afraid we must have a bout today."

Taiyi had originally intended to give her a show of strength, but he saw that not only did she show no fear, she even had a hint of a smile on her face.

It was as if she were saying, "Come at me."

Seeing this, Taiyi could no longer restrain himself. With a wave of his hand, the chaos bell was directly sacrificed.

The sound of the bell echoed through heaven and earth, suppressing this time and space; the Void Realm seemed to freeze in this instant.

The body of the bell evolved into dazzling light, as countless stars gathered within it.

The chaos bell instantly expanded and smashed down toward Yuan Feng.

Yuan Feng didn't waste words either. She reached out, took the Beast God Palace from Qing Wu, and immediately activated it.

"I choose you!" Yuan Feng shouted and threw it out.

As for this phrase, she had learned it from Qing Wu last time.

The God Deceiver Artifact Spirit inside still didn't know what was happening; it poked its head out, saw such a massive bell crashing toward it, and immediately shrank back inside.

Boom!

The two treasures collided in mid-air, erupting with supreme power. An area of hundreds of millions of miles was enveloped by the pressure of this magical battle.

Although both were supreme treasures, the chaos bell had a more significant origin. Furthermore, the Beast God Palace was damaged and had not yet recovered.

On the level of treasures, Taiyi actually had the upper hand.

However, these gaps were compensated for and even overtaken by the difference in their individual strengths.

Thus, at this moment, the Beast God Palace suppressed the chaos bell.

Although Taiyi found it somewhat hard to believe, even with the support of the chaos bell, he had actually fallen into a disadvantage.

He immediately intended to activate the chaos bell even more frantically to regain his ground.

The bell rang out in rapid succession, and the power of suppression increased once more.

Seeing this, Yuan Feng also increased the intensity of her spellcasting.

At this time, the Beast God Palace continuously released black Evil Qi, enveloping the surrounding heaven and earth.

Yuan Feng "tched," seemingly displeased with such a scene.

As expected, such a malevolent object could not be used casually.

She immediately withdrew the magic power applied to the Beast God Palace and raised her hand to sacrifice the divine phoenix plume.

As a world-shaking phoenix cry rang out, a fire phoenix that blotted out the sun appeared, crashing toward the chaos bell with irresistible force.

Ultimately, the sound of the phoenix cry devoured the ring of the bell, and the chaos bell was knocked aside directly.

Taiyi, behind it, was directly exposed.

The fire phoenix immediately changed direction and flew back.

Just the feverish storm kicked up by the phoenix tail blew Taiyi a hundred and eight thousand miles away.

"The bell is not bad, but you are a bit lacking," Yuan Feng said softly.

Hearing such an evaluation, how could Taiyi endure it?

Stabilizing his form, he returned to the place of confrontation once more, about to activate the chaos bell again.

At that moment, a large hand rested on his shoulder, and Taiyi was instantly alarmed.

But turning his head, he saw it was Dijun holding him back.

"Stop. This person is truly not to be trifled with."

Dijun had arrived long ago; he just hadn't appeared for a while in order to probe the other party's background.

The battle just now had naturally been fully observed by him, and he reached a conclusion: this person was unfathomable and must absolutely not be made an enemy.

Otherwise, it would truly be like kicking an axe.

While the two brothers were hesitating, a black figure ran out.

It was Tiangou, who, seeing that the other side had more people, immediately ran out to back up its master.

It did not transform into its battle form at this time, but barked incessantly at the two with its small body.

It was quite a case of "a dog acting fierce because of its master's power."
