"Hurry, leave!"
The Old Dragon King bellowed a command, urging Ao Yi to leave as quickly as possible.
But as he spoke, Taiyi the True Immortal had already lifted his right hand. Instantly, a pale cyan small sword appeared in his hand with wisps of Qi swirling around it. With a "whoosh," it soared into the sky, slashing towards the Old Dragon King.
"I am a god who manages the clouds and the rain, anointed by the Heavenly Court. Why resort to this, Immortal?" Seeing this, the Old Dragon King quickly revealed his true form.
A giant dragon spanned the clouds, a thousand zhang in length, scales glimmering with silver light, antlers perching atop his head, a pair of dragon eyes flashing with green light, and sharp claws waving through the air, stirring gusts of strong wind.
"Father!" Ao Yi also immediately summoned his Immortal Sword, its light blinding, its Sword Qi vast, as if it enveloped all of Heaven and Earth.
Taiyi the True Immortal, unimpressed, smiled faintly, striking fiercely and accurately with his Immortal Sword that danced above the Nine Heavens, turning into a bolt of lightning capable of shattering all creation.
Every sword stroke fell with the force of collapsing mountains and splitting earth.
Ao Yi swiftly summoned the Qiankun Ring and the Chaos Sky Silk, relying on the strength of these two Spiritual Treasures to barely protect himself.
"Go!"
Taiyi the True Immortal blew out a breath, and the Immortal Sword shot out a burst of blue light, slashing towards the Old Dragon King.
The latter raised his dragon claws to block, but was immediately severed by the Immortal Sword, retreating in panic amidst a scream of pain.
Ao Yi hastily spurred the Chaos Sky Silk, creating a vortex that swept Heaven and Earth, like a dragon emerging from the sea, surging towards Taiyi the True Immortal.
"Do you think yourself a bright pearl?"
Taiyi the True Immortal effortlessly dodged the attack from the Chaos Sky Silk.
Then his Immortal Sword in the air formed numerous beams of light, swiftly interweaving into a huge Sword Array, trapping the Old Dragon King and Ao Yi within.
At this moment, the Old Dragon King and Ao Yi were immediately overtaken by intense pressure, leaving them gasping for breath.
Even with Ao Yi wielding the offensive and defensive top-grade Spiritual Treasures, the Qiankun Ring and the Chaos Sky Silk, it was to no avail; he was quickly chased by Taiyi the True Immortal's sword with no escape to the heavens and no gate to the earth.
After all, the gap in their Dao Xing was simply too vast.
How could the Old Dragon King and Ao Yi withstand the onslaught of this Golden Immortal from the Chan Sect?
"Today, a disciple shall commence a massacre!"
Taiyi the True Immortal bowed towards Kunlun Mountain, his face suddenly revealing a trace of malevolence.
Then with a mere thought, the Immortal Sword sped towards Ao Yi's vitals to strike.
But just then, a black spatial rift abruptly appeared above Ao Yi's head.
A large hand reached out from the rift, seizing the blade of the Immortal Sword with precision, then gently pinched it.
A crisp "snap" and the Immortal Sword that had been oppressing the Old Dragon King and his son was broken into two.
Taiyi the True Immortal's gaze was fixed on the large hand, his expression changing in an instant.
He clearly saw a white, metallic hoop on the wrist of that hand, wrapped in fierce Dao Fire.
Under the scorching Dao Fire, the Immortal Sword, already broken into fragments, quickly softened, and then turned into silver liquid that was burnt into the most basic Qi before it even had the chance to drip.
"That is... the Vajra Bracelet!"
Taiyi the True Immortal's pupils dilated, swallowing saliva subconsciously.
"That's right, it's the Vajra Bracelet."
A voice rang out nonchalantly.
The owner of the voice then stepped out of the black rift, causing the edges of the rupture to shatter loudly into pieces, turning into a wild surge of the four elements of earth, water, fire, and wind.
However, in the next instant, a golden bell appeared above the head of the voice's owner, shaking the whole Heaven and Earth. The earth, water, fire, and wind were instantly calmed, and the broken space restored in a blink.
During this process, the Dao Fire rising from the Vajra Bracelet grew more intense, transforming into Order Divine Chains.
"How is this possible?"
Taiyi the True Immortal watched the scene in disbelief.
To his knowledge... no, it was known to almost everyone that Yu Yuan was incapacitated by the Taiching Saint using the Vajra Bracelet, having lost all Primordial Spirit Power and becoming essentially incapacitated.
But then why was he able to display Quasi-Saint abilities to traverse space?
Why could he activate such an Innate Treasure as the Chaos Bell to suppress the elements of earth, water, fire, and wind?
Could it be that the Vajra Bracelet was fake?
No!
That Vajra Bracelet clearly released Dao Fire to burn his body and Primordial Spirit when he used his Primordial Spirit Power, and he had seen the might of that Dao Fire—his Immortal Sword was an Acquired top-grade Spiritual Treasure, yet it was reduced to nothing but ashes in an instant by that Dao Fire!
This means that this One Qi Immortal before him was already so powerful that even the Dao Fire could do him no harm!
"Hiss!"
Thinking of this possibility, Taiyi Zhenren couldn't help but take a sharp breath, terrified by his own speculation.
Dao Fire is, after all, the Primordial Fire of all Dao!
How powerful must one be, to disregard the Dao Fire?
Taiyi Zhenren could not come up with an answer!
This question was not one he could answer!
Even those Quasi-Saints were incapable of providing an answer.
Perhaps only the Saints could give a definite answer to this question.
With this thought, Taiyi Zhenren didn't hesitate anymore and turned around, his body transforming into Tunneling Light and fleeing, not even caring about the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover.
At this moment, an indifferent voice suddenly made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
"Striking my Jie Sect disciple, and you think you can leave?"
"Ding!"
A light sound, and the Tunneling Light that Taiyi Zhenren had transformed into was instantly frozen in mid-air.
Then, as light and shadow shifted, he was rapidly forced backwards to his original position and then felt space squeezing and enveloping him from all sides, making every movement require all his strength.
"Is this... time reversal?"
Taiyi Zhenren's eyes widened as he looked at Yu Yuan with a hint of despair.
It wasn't until then that the old Dragon King and Ao Yi finally snapped out of their shock, looking towards the Chaos Bell above their heads, and at Yu Yuan enveloped in the Dao Fire with a mix of fear and joy.
"Young master pays his respects to Father!"
"Aoguang pays respects to Immortal Yu Yuan! Thank you, Immortal, for your rescue. Aoguang will remember this great kindness and is willing to go through fire and water for the Immortal, should the East Sea Dragon Clan be needed!"
The father and son of the old Dragon King promptly kowtowed in worship.
In doing so, the old Dragon King also took the opportunity to seek a way out for the Dragon Clan, hoping to pledge allegiance and attach themselves to a strong patron.
This little calculation was so apparent that even his own son, Ao Yi, couldn't help frowning.
Yu Yuan paid no attention and glanced at the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover. Seeing that the Lady of Shi Ji was on her last breath under the refining of the nine Fire Dragons, he lightly tossed a coin with wings.
A radiant streak passed through the sky, and the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover immediately shrank to the size of a palm, landing in front of Shi Ji.
Shi Ji had thought herself to be doomed, relying only on a breath of life and the mana from years of her hard cultivation to survive up to now. Unexpectedly, just as she was about to collapse, the nine Fire Dragons disappeared in an instant.
Could it be that Taiyi Zhenren had a change of heart?
Doubtful, Shi Ji looked up, and immediately understood the cause and effect.
"Vice Sect Hierarch!"
She yelled out, with red eyes turned towards Taiyi Zhenren, and viciously said, "This vile creature deserves death!"
Yu Yuan could clearly feel the grievances in her heart, as well as her hatred towards Taiyi Zhenren.
Shi Ji was originally a stubborn rock from beyond the universe, and like a stone, her character was also quiet. After becoming a disciple of the Tongtian Sect Hierarch, she had always cultivated quietly, never causing any trouble so far.
As a result, she was bullied by Taiyi Zhenren and Nezha today, nearly refined alive into nothingness!
How could she not feel wronged?
And how could she not hate the murderer Taiyi Zhenren!
"You're right," Yu Yuan nodded to Shi Ji and pointed to the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover on the ground, saying indifferently, "The Primordial Spirit Seal on this treasure has been erased, and now it belongs to you.
You can let him have a taste of what it's like to be refined."
Shi Ji's eyes suddenly lit up without hesitation, she reached out to take the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover and started to refine it with her Primordial Spirit.
On the other side, Taiyi Zhenren's complexion drastically changed, looking at Yu Yuan and demanded, "What are you trying to do!"
Yu Yuan said lightly, "The infliction of the other body with its own way."
Taiyi Zhenren's gaze flickered. He did not beg for mercy in a subdued voice, but instead said coldly, "I am a direct disciple of a Saint. Whoever dares to kill me, the Saint will surely sense it..."
"Look at this."
Before he could finish speaking, Yu Yuan simply pointed to the Chaos Bell above his head, explaining at leisure, "The space here has been separated by me from the Primordial Heaven and Earth. Whatever happens here, even the Saints cannot sense it!"
Hearing this, Taiyi Zhenren's eyes revealed a touch of panic.
"Fellow Daoist Yu Yuan, we are both disciples of Xuanmen! Just like the red flowers, white lotuses, and green lotus leaves, the Three Sects in essence are one family! Even if there have been some frictions between us, there is no need to resort to life and death..."
"Heh, you call this a 'little friction'?" Yu Yuan raised his eyebrows, and seriously said, "Sorry, but I'm actually quite protective of my own."
The moment his words fell, Shi Ji had already completed the preliminary refinement of the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover, and without a second word, she raised it and threw it down at Taiyi Zhenren like a small hill.
In the next instant, nine Fire Dragons emerged from the cover, heading straight for Taiyi Zhenren, spewing blazing flames from their mouths, enveloping him entirely to refine him to death!
