So, they planned to start by targeting Hongmeng, then use him to lure out Ji Hongxia. Jinya's mind was corroded by jealousy. Once beguiled by the Yin Yang Sect, their shared wickedness led them to collude, orchestrating today's ambush.

"Indeed, I won't kill you!" Yin Kun chuckled sinisterly, his piercing gaze fixed on Hongmeng. "To kill you so easily would be letting you off too lightly. I shall extract your soul and torture you ten thousand times each day, condemning you to a life where you can neither live nor die!"

"Unfortunately, you'll have no chance for that!"

Hongmeng roughly guessed Jinya's and Yin Kun's motives. The reason he had spoken at such length with Jinya was to ensure there were no other powerful individuals lurking nearby. Now he had confirmed that only Jinya and Yin Kun were present. To dispatch a Daluo Golden Immortal to deal with him was quite a lavish deployment. Even experts at the Lord God level rarely received such treatment.

"What? You think more experts will come to save you?" Yin Kun said with a cold laugh as he approached. "This place has been sealed off by me across time and space. No message of yours could possibly get out!"

"Then I really should thank you!" Hongmeng said with a slight smile as the Demon and God Double Sword appeared beside him. Dragon Hollyhock had fused with it, controlling the Demon Sword, and instantly launched an attack at Yin Kun.

The terrifying power of the Innate Treasure swept through the area. Yin Kun and Jinya's expressions changed drastically. Jinya, in particular, was overcome with terror, his courage utterly shattered.

"How is this possible?"

"How could she be here?"

Jinya and Yin Kun couldn't believe their eyes. Yin Kun, especially, had carefully scanned the surroundings and found no traces of other Daluo-level experts. They knew Hongmeng cultivated the Divine Dao and possessed a God's kingdom, but how could such a powerful expert be willing to stay in someone else's God's kingdom?

"Nothing is impossible. You old dog, you're still too green to think of killing me!"

A Chaos Blue Lotus emerged above Hongmeng's head. A faint cyan light enveloped him, and his figure disappeared without a trace.

"An Innate Treasure!"

Yin Kun's eyes widened in shock. He knew the Demon and God Double Sword was an Innate Treasure, but he hadn't expected another to appear. When did Innate Treasures become as common as bok choy? What terrifying force is backing Hongmeng?

As Hongmeng's figure vanished, the silhouette of Yan Ruyu emerged. Above her head was a God-King Level Blue Lotus Path, emitting dazzling, rosy light. She held a Chaos Blue Lotus in her hand. Even Yin Kun couldn't discern her cultivation level.

"Old Yin, what should we do?" Jinya asked, his eyes full of fear.

Two Innate Treasures had suddenly appeared, indicating the presence of at least two Divine Kings, perhaps even beings above the Divine King level. He was nearly scared witless. It was utterly terrifying. If I survive today, I will never provoke Hongmeng again, he vowed internally.

"Let's go!"

Yin Kun hesitated not for a moment. Grabbing Jinya, he prepared to flee. Though he was only at the early stage of a Daluo Golden Immortal, he believed that if he wanted to escape, even an opponent with an Innate Treasure might not be able to stop him.

BOOM!

Just as Yin Kun attempted to flee, before he could even move, an ancient, primordial bell of chaotic yellow—the Chaos Clock—descended upon him from above.

"No!"

Yin Kun roared furiously, attempting to escape, but the Chaos Clock was too fast, too overpowering. It suppressed space and bound time. He struggled in vain, and in an instant, he was trapped by the Chaos Clock.

Hongmeng's figure appeared above the Chaos Clock. He was draped in the Reincarnation Immortal Clothes: the Best Innate spirit Treasures and wore a mask transformed from another Top-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure. Countless Divine King Paths surrounded him, making it difficult for anyone to probe his true nature.

"Is this all?"

Hongmeng put away the Chaos Clock and looked at the suppressed Yin Kun and Jinya inside, his eyes filled with disdain.

Just now, he had Yan Ruyu reveal herself, using the Chaos Blue Lotus to conceal his movements. This allowed him to change his appearance and personally suppress Yin Kun. Thus, even if he failed and Yin Kun escaped, Yin Kun would only assume that the powerful experts behind Hongmeng had intervened. He would never suspect that Hongmeng himself possessed the strength of a Divine King.

Hongmeng hadn't anticipated Yin Kun would be so weak that he could be suppressed with a single move.

Damn it, you already unleashed two Innate Treasures! Who could have imagined you had even more? And on top of that, the Chaos Clock—an Innate Treasure capable of suppressing space and time—came crashing down! Who the hell could withstand that? I'm just a mere early-stage Daluo Golden Immortal! If Yin Kun knew Hongmeng's thoughts, he would surely cry himself to death.

"My God!" Yan Ruyu, holding the Chaos Blue Lotus, arrived beside Hongmeng and stood guard.

Dragon Hollyhock also emerged from the Demon and God Double Sword and walked over, sword in hand.

"Hmm, you all return to the God's kingdom," Hongmeng nodded slightly and recalled them into his God's kingdom.

The next moment—BOOM!

Hongmeng activated the Chaos Clock to shatter space-time and disturb yin and yang, before leaving swiftly.

WHOOSH, WHOOSH, WHOOSH.

Less than a single breath after Hongmeng left, several figures appeared at Maple Leaf Pavilion. Among them were Ji Yue, the Supreme Elder of the Sacred Grounds of Yaochi, and the newly ascended Daluo Golden Immortal, Ji Hongxia.

"Such terrifying residual power. This is the might of an Innate Treasure," Ji Yue sensed the lingering power from Hongmeng activating the Chaos Clock to disturb space-time and was secretly shocked.

"All traces here have been erased. It's highly unlikely we'll be able to find anything from the scene!" said Ji Hongxia.

"Who took action here? And for what purpose?" Ji Yue wondered. After inspecting the site and finding nothing, she had no choice but to return to Yaochi and strengthen their defenses.

「God's kingdom.」

Hongmeng sat upon the Divine Temple Throne, looking at the floating Chaos Clock before him. With a thought, Jinya's figure appeared.

"Hongmeng!" Jinya lifted his head, his gaze fixed firmly on Hongmeng, his eyes filled with unwillingness and resentment.

"Don't worry, I won't torture you!" Hongmeng reached out his hand. A Lord God Level Devouring Path emerged, grasping Jinya's head as easily as an eagle catching a chick.

"A Peak of Master God Devouring Path!" Jinya was utterly horrified. He wanted to resist, but it felt as though a great mountain was pressing down on him, rendering him immobile and at Hongmeng's mercy. Only at this moment did he realize that Hongmeng's true capabilities were far more profound than he had ever imagined. Hongmeng's strength was absolutely not what it seemed on the surface. Before Hongmeng, he had no power to resist whatsoever.

THUMP.

His eyes widened as his body limply collapsed to the ground, his soul devoured by Hongmeng.

Indeed, just as I suspected. They wanted to capture me first and then use me to lure out Red Rosy Clouds... Hongmeng was not surprised. Jinya had also desired to join the Yin Yang Sect, and Yin Kun had promised that upon success, Jinya would become the Yin Yang Sect's Holy Son. This guy sure had grand aspirations. Did he really think it was that easy to become the Yin Yang Sect's Holy Son?

With a wave of his hand, Hongmeng disintegrated Jinya's body, obliterating it from the world.

It's time to deal with this fellow!

Hongmeng looked towards Yin Kun. He always took revenge for wrongs and repaid grudges. Since Yin Kun wanted to kill him, he had to be prepared to be killed in return.

BOOM!

Hongmeng activated the Chaos Clock. Around its body, images of the sun, moon, stars, earth, water, fire, and wind appeared. Inside the bell, the landscapes of the Primordial Chaos and the Ten Thousand Clans could be glimpsed. Five-colored brilliance illuminated the heavens, and the Divine Aura of Chaos permeated the universe.

Yin Kun, struggling frantically within the space inside the Chaos Clock, suddenly felt an immense terror descend upon him. The bell tolled majestically, the universe blazed with light, the heavens paled, and the cosmos trembled. The terrifying power of the Innate Treasure surged from all directions like a tide, constantly washing over his body and soul, eroding his Dao.

"No, don't kill me! Please... spare me..."

The terror that lies between life and death is immense. Even a Daluo Golden Immortal like Yin Kun was no exception. In the face of true death, he was terrified. He cowered.

Hongmeng remained unmoved and continued to activate the Chaos Clock. The terrifying power of the Innate Treasure relentlessly eroded Yin Kun's Dao.

Time passed, bit by bit.

The Sacred Grounds of Yaochi discovered Jinya's death, and the atmosphere grew tense.

When the Yin Family of the Yin Yang Sect discovered Yin Kun's disappearance, they also grew somewhat tense; even the Ancestor of the Yin Family was disturbed by the news.
