"You want to kill me?"

"Just by yourself?"

"Heh heh... Don't overestimate your abilities, is there no limit?"

"You, the junior, are being rather overly arrogant!"

Ying Zhao, the Demon Saint, laughed uproariously as if he had heard a joke, though the gaze he turned upon Yu Yuan grew increasingly cold and severe.

Yu Yuan did not retort, but instead, he activated the strength of the Chaos Bell, severing the space within tens of thousands of miles from the original Heaven and Earth and quickly refining it into a brand-new miniature world.

Before this day, he could not have done this.

But now, with much of the Chaos Bell's strength restored, its application in space-related Divine Skills had become even more potent.

At this moment, with the Chaos Bell at its center, the space within tens of thousands of miles had become a separate miniature world, completely isolated from the Primordial.

Even a Saint, unless they were paying attention to this place, would not be aware of the events unfolding here.

And for Ying Zhao, the Demon Saint who was within, the most direct way to leave would be to shatter this miniature world.

However, with this small Heaven and Earth already sealed by the strength of the Chaos Bell, shattering it was as difficult as destroying the Chaos Bell itself.

Therefore, compared to that, it seemed much easier to kill Yu Yuan and take the Chaos Bell for himself!

Ying Zhao, the Demon Saint, quickly realized this and a cold smirk curled on his lips.

"Great! You delivered this treasure right to my doorstep, it would be illogical for me not to take it!"

As he spoke, his right hand flicked lightly, and suddenly in his grasp appeared a Mixed Iron Stick.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, an extremely fierce and malicious aura overflowed from the Mixed Iron Stick, as if a fearsome beast from ancient times had broken free from its seal, unleashing endless murderous intent in all directions!

The Mixed Iron Stick in the hands of Ying Zhao, the Demon Saint, instantly turned pitch black as ink, the surface shone with a dismal gleam, and was covered with many mysterious marks.

It was from these marks that such a brutal aura emanated.

This pitch-black Spiritual Weapon, as if alive, breathed in and out the fierce and malicious aura, wielding a terrifying presence that instilled fear.

"This is the Spiritual Weapon that has followed me through a lifetime of slaughter!" Ying Zhao, the Demon Saint's voice was low and deep, "I used it to kill endlessly, rivers flowing with blood and mountains of bones stacked high, even I myself do not know how many lives it has taken!"

The pitch-black Mixed Iron Stick radiated with a malicious aura, flickering with a cold metallic luster, like a ferocious beast choosing its prey.

Ying Zhao, the Demon Saint, held the Mixed Iron Stick, standing tall in the void, the murderous intent in his eyes almost tangible as he gazed at Yu Yuan.

"Now it's your turn!"

Between words, he stepped through the void and instantly appeared in front of Yu Yuan, swinging the Mixed Iron Stick down towards Yu Yuan's head.

"Crack!"

Wherever the Mixed Iron Stick passed, space instantly shattered, as if the metal stick was heavier than the Ancient Divine Mountain.

However, what surprised Ying Zhao, the Demon Saint, was that Yu Yuan did not dodge at all.

He stood in the void.

Steady as a rock, calm as an ancient pine.

Facing Ying Zhao, the Demon Saint's preemptive powerful strike, Yu Yuan had no intention of dodging either.

Real men never retreat!

They confront difficulties head-on and clash with strength!

That is the true nature of a man!

"Rumble!"

But that Mixed Iron Stick was truly too heavy; when it struck down, the black shaft of the stick cracked the space around it into pieces.

At first glance, the space below the stick was twisted beyond recognition.

At that moment, the Chaos Bell appeared above Yu Yuan's head, and like a dragon twisting its body, he half-turned and produced the Mixed Gold Hammer in his hand, smashing it hard against the Mixed Iron Stick.

"Bang!"

The colorful hammer struck the black stick with a sound that could split metal and stone, and the impact spot burst into a light even more dazzling than the sun.

However, no shockwave was produced.

The black Mixed Iron Stick, as if it were a living beast, absorbed most of the force from the Mixed Gold Hammer, and also completely absorbed the impact force generated by the collision of the two Spiritual Weapons.

Yu Yuan was astounded, realizing that although the Mixed Iron Stick appeared unassuming, it possessed such an extraordinary strength.

Absorbing strength isn't anything special for a Spiritual Treasure, but for a close-quarters combat Spiritual Weapon, it's an extremely powerful ability.

Yu Yuan couldn't block this blow and was instantly sent flying out.

This was the first time he had ever been at a disadvantage in terms of strength!

Even when he fought the Kunpeng Ancestor, he had never been in such a situation.

Of course, this was also because the Kunpeng Ancestor did not engage in hand-to-hand combat with him but fought using Divine Communication Skills instead.

After the strike, Demon Saint Ying Zhao looked at Yu Yuan somewhat surprised and said, "You indeed have some tricks up your sleeve; no wonder you dare to make such wild claims. But just these alone are far from enough!"

As he spoke, his offensive did not cease.

The black Mixed Iron Stick flashed with dark light, instantly transforming into a giant pillar thousands of feet tall and smashed down at Yu Yuan.

Yu Yuan had just stabilized himself, but still did not evade, directly using the Heavenly Earth Transformation to become a colossus reaching the sky, wielding an equally enlarged Mixed Gold Hammer to smash back.

"Bang!"

The huge Mixed Gold Hammer, with the colors of the rainbow, hit the Mixed Iron Stick and made a thunderous noise, causing the surrounding Heaven and Earth to tremble violently, warping and twisting even the space.

However, this strike still did not gain the upper hand.

The Mixed Iron Stick stood unwavering, indomitable, and could absorb the strength of Yu Yuan's hammer and turn it into its own power.

"Is this the confidence behind your desire to kill me?" Demon Saint Ying Zhao sneered, "If that's the case, then you're going to be disappointed!"

The body of Demon Saint Ying Zhao also swelled up, revealing a hundred feet tall figure with red hair and a green face, stripes all over his body, and a pair of wings on his back, the body of the fierce beast with a human head.

His demon form combined the advantages of both his original body and the Innate Taoist Body, maximizing the strength of his physical body while also handling Divine Skills, making it the most suitable form for battle.

Although he was not as large as Yu Yuan, who had used the Heavenly Earth Transformation, his strength was more than a match.

With blood-red hair and eyes flashing with demonic light, he swung the Mixed Iron Stick at Yu Yuan, and the pitch-black rod pressed down the Heaven and Earth.

"Crack——"

The sound of the space shattering inch by inch was continuous, filling the small world with a fierce killing intention.

"Bang," "Ding," "Dang," "Boom"...

Yu Yuan held the Mixed Gold Hammer tightly and fought a fierce battle with Demon Saint Ying Zhao.

The two Spiritual Weapons kept colliding, and both sides engaged in a life-and-death struggle.

The battle was extremely fierce. Both of them followed the path of Ancient Body Cultivation, with their physical strength at the forefront, where a single punch or kick could shatter the void.

Furthermore, their respective Spiritual Weapons also had their own extraordinary features, which greatly enhanced their destructive power, to the point of causing heaven and earth to split apart and the sun and the moon to grow dark.

The Mixed Iron Stick was a terrifying Spiritual Weapon, especially against an opponent like Yu Yuan who excelled in physical combat, where its ability to absorb the force was exploited to the fullest.

Every time Yu Yuan swung his hammer, most of the force would be absorbed by the Mixed Iron Stick, then rebounded back at him.

Under these circumstances, even with Yu Yuan's incredibly strong physical stature, he fell behind on an innate level, not to mention that Demon Saint Ying Zhao was stronger than him to begin with!

Adding the two together, the gap became even bigger.

But this was exactly the effect he wanted!

He sought out Demon Saint Ying Zhao not only because of their deep-seated hatred but also because the most important reason was that Demon Saint Ying Zhao followed the same path as him.

He wanted to use Demon Saint Ying Zhao's strength to hone his own and quickly improve himself, to prepare for his return to the past to seize the Hongmeng Purple Qi.

Under the effect of Reverse Action, every time his physical body was injured, it would heal quickly and become even stronger.

The two fought from mid-air to the ocean, evaporating the vast sea, then up above the Nine Heavens where the Gang Wind swept through, shattering the Heavenly Vault.

"Bang!"

The Mixed Iron Stick was heavy like mountains, and the Mixed Gold Hammer held a force like a falling star. The two Spiritual Weapons, in the hands of their respective owners, unleashed boundless divine might, causing the space to crack open like a shattered mirror.

As time passed, the cold smile on Demon Saint Ying Zhao's face gradually solidified.

He could no longer laugh!

At first, he was only testing, but later he fully used his real strength, yet no matter how heavy the blow he dealt to Yu Yuan, the latter was always able to recover immediately.

This was a prolonged battle.

Demon Saint Ying Zhao started firmly holding the upper hand, but as time elapse bit by bit, he became increasingly alarmed.

It seemed as if Yu Yuan was tireless and immune to injury, as he was always able to bounce back immediately no matter what kind of kill move was used on him.

Moreover, as time passed, the power of the Mixed Gold Hammer seemed to grow stronger and stronger, capable of collapsing the Heavenly Vault.

Demon Saint Ying Zhao's expression changed, as if he realized something, his astonishment no longer concealable, he exclaimed, "Are you using me as a whetstone to sharpen yourself?"

"A whetstone? No, no, no..." Yu Yuan shook his head and said earnestly, "You should be the stepping stone for me to advance into the Quasi-Saint realm."
