"Seeing the Crown Prince donning the Great Sun Robe, I feel as if I'm beholding Their Majesties themselves..." Bi Fang Demon God exclaimed with excitement.

Zhu Yan Demon God quickly nodded and said, "The same for me!"

Golden Crow Crown Prince nodded and replied, "For offering up treasures this time, the two Demon Gods have performed meritorious labors. If in the future this Crown Prince can rebuild the Demon Court, there will assuredly be a place for you among the top ten Demon Saints!"

"Thank you for your faith in us, Your Highness!" Bi Fang Demon God eagerly said, "I am willing to lay down my life for Your Highness, to die only after giving everything!"

"I...," Zhu Yan Demon God hesitated briefly, then followed suit, "Me too!"

Golden Crow Crown Prince gave him a glance, took the golden Feather Blade from his hand, and said earnestly, "Once the Chaos Bell appears, it is bound to cause Heaven and Earth to tremble. Those Immortal Gods who have not yet entered the Heavenly Emperor's Secret Capital will likely come to investigate. By then, we'll need the two Demon Gods to take action."

"Rest assured, Your Highness, with us here, not even a fly will get close to you!" Bi Fang Demon God declared with a thump on his chest, assuring the Crown Prince.

After saying that, seeing Zhu Yan Demon God about to speak, he quickly pulled him aside, "Shut it, don't delay the Crown Prince's important matters!"

Zhu Yan Demon God gave him an unsatisfied glare, but said nothing further.

The two highly skilled Demon Gods left, brushing past Yu Yuan who was invisible, failing to notice anything out of the ordinary.

This was because Yu Yuan was standing directly within the sea of fire, not using any Divine Communication Skills or Spiritual Treasures to defend himself, thus besides the slight mana fluctuation from the Invisibility Technique, not a wisp of his aura leaked out.

This slight mana fluctuation from the Invisibility Technique amidst the roaring Taiyang Fire was negligible. Unless one had divine eyes capable of seeing through illusion, like Yang Jian, even Daluo Golden Immortals, let alone Quasi-Saints, would not dream of discovering Yu Yuan.

After the two left, the Crown Prince gripped the golden Feather Blade in his right hand and fiercely cut open the palm of his left hand.

His blood shone like gold, dazzling, carrying a heat almost as formidable as the Taiyang Fire itself, only slightly inferior.

The very next instant, a majestic and imposing aura burst forth from the Feather Blade.

Bi Fang and Zhu Yan, who had just left and were not too far away, trembled and couldn't help but look back, their eyes involuntarily filled with awe and reverence.

Seeing their reactions, Yu Yuan immediately realized that this grand aura must be that of the Demon Clan's Emperor spawned from the bell—Donghuang Taiyi!

"Dang—"

A clear bell sound emanated from deep within the Taiyang Star, continuous and unending, causing the entire Taiyang Star to shudder and quiver, endless flames spewed forth, and the Taiyang Fire was blasted out of the sun itself, even gushing onto the land below.

An entire mountain range of hundreds of thousands of miles was engulfed in rolling flames.

"We did it!" Bi Fang couldn't help but shout with excitement.

A look of excitement also appeared on Zhu Yan Demon God's face.

However, they did not linger any longer, swiftly flying to the outskirts of the Taiyang Star.

Inside Eastern Emperor Heaven, there were many Immortal Gods who had yet to enter the Heavenly Emperor's Secret Capital, and the anomaly at the Taiyang Star would surely attract them.

Their task was to intercept all the Immortal Gods outside of the Taiyang Star, not allowing anyone to cross the Thunder Pond!

However, drawn by the sound of the Chaos Bell, what they didn't notice was that nearby, Fude True Immortal was watching them leave from within the light shield created by the Fire Resistance Pearl, feeling perplexed and uncertain.

...

Deep within the Taiyang Star, the Golden Crow Crown Prince's face also showed undeniable surprise and delight.

Although this was the most reliable method he had contemplated, he had never tried it before, and thus, at the moment of unfolding the plan, he was fraught with unease.

However, all his anxiety disappeared at the sound of the bell ringing.

He had succeeded!

His call had been answered!

It also proved that the Chaos Bell was indeed hidden within the sun.

Thinking thus, the Golden Crow Crown Prince stood tall and proud, holding the golden Feather Blade, his regal air as a sovereign became even more pronounced.

At that moment, Yu Yuan was also pleasantly surprised.

He focused his gaze in the direction from which the bell sound came, and saw an ancient brass bell suspended in the heart of the Taiyang Star, surrounded by resplendent Chaotic Divine Light.

The bell had no clapper and rang on its own without any wind.

Upon closer inspection, one could see that the majority of the brass bell was translucent and ghostly, with only the uppermost part being real, occupying about one-fifth of the whole.

Between reality and illusion was a fine crack that seemed insignificant at first glance but was startling upon careful observation.

Indeed, it was just a fragment and not the complete Chaos Bell.

As the Golden Crow Crown Prince called out, the fragment of the Chaos Bell trembled slightly, as if it were responding, or rather communicating.

"Dang, dang, dang—"

Crisp bell tones intermittently emanate from the depths of Taiyang Star, spreading throughout the entire Eastern Emperor Heaven.

Rippling waves of the bell visibly undulate, distorting and reshaping Taiyang Star beneath them, as boundless fierce flames surge forth, presenting a terrifying spectacle.

Yu Yuan, currently in the depths of Taiyang Star, is unable to see the scene clearly. However, the Immortal Gods on the boundless mainland below immediately notice the abnormality of the sun.

They witness the sun, which had already set behind the western mountains, suddenly soar back into the sky. It twists and swells rapidly, spewing endless fierce flames that even reach the surface of the earth, forming pillars of fire, linking the earth and sun together.

For the creatures on the earth, and especially the Immortal Gods with weaker Dao Xing, this is undoubtedly the most terrifying disaster.

Because within these fierce flames is the Taiyang Fire—extremely staunch and yang, incinerating all things; even a Golden Immortal can't withstand it for long.

However, apart from the unfortunate Immortal Gods directly affected by the columns of fire, others scattered throughout Eastern Emperor Heaven are filled with unexpected joy and excitement.

"The Chaos Bell! It must be the birth of the Chaos Bell!"

"I heard the bell tones, it must be the Chaos Bell for sure!"

"Never mind if it's the Chaos Bell or not, there's definitely a treasure about to emerge on the sun. Let's hurry over and have a look!"

"..."

In an instant, countless Immortal Gods surge toward Taiyang Star like a tidal wave.

Even though many Immortal Gods know they lack the strength to land on the sun, they still can't resist the urge to join in the fun. What if the Chaos Bell happens to fall right beside them?

At this moment, within the Heavenly Emperor's Secret Capital, numerous Saint's Disciples and Daluo Golden Immortals are scattered about in search of treasure.

The Heavenly Emperor's Secret Capital is within a Grotto Heaven, belonging to a Small Thousand World, connected to the Great Thousand World of Eastern Emperor Heaven by only one Heavenly Palace Gate.

When the sound of the Chaos Bell bypasses spatial barriers and reverberates directly within the Heavenly Emperor's Secret Capital, all the treasure-seeking Saint's Disciples and Daluo Golden Immortals immediately realize what has happened.

A diversion tactic!

Someone has deliberately lured them into the Heavenly Emperor's Secret Capital with a treasure map, seizing the opportunity to search for the Chaos Bell.

"Who is plotting against me? If discovered, I will ensure their body and spirit are utterly destroyed!"

Angry roars echo throughout the Heavenly Emperor's Secret Capital.

Many share this line of thought.

However, even more decide to immediately turn back.

If they're quick enough, they might still make it in time to vie for the Chaos Bell.

But then...

"Where's the gate?!"

"How come the Heavenly Palace Gate is gone?"

"Who's the coward that moved the gate?"

"Wait… Could that Heavenly Palace Gate be a one-way gate?"

"One can enter, but not exit?"

"Isn't it troublesome for the Demon Court Heavenly Emperor to move in and out of here?"

"That person is one of the top Quasi-Saint powers; they probably don't even need to use the gate."

"..."

"Damn it all!"

"It's all the fault of Qi Zhongjun and One Qi Immortal who spread the treasure map! If not for them, we wouldn't have all ended up trapped in here!"

"Uh… I remember when they traded with me, they specifically mentioned that the treasure map might be a trap."

"Would they be that kind-hearted? I suspect this trap was set by them!"

"Uh… It's not impossible!"

"..."

A group of Saint's Disciples and Daluo Golden Immortals reaches the height of anger.

They feel as if the Heavenly Emperor's Secret Capital is a "fish trap" placed in a river, and they, like the fish and shrimp of the river, are lured into the "trap" to find there is no exit.

But after all, they are Saint's Disciples and Daluo Golden Immortals; how could they just sit and wait for doom?

After confirming there's no way out within the Heavenly Emperor's Secret Capital, they begin attempting to break through space and forge an exit.

However, the Heavenly Emperor's Secret Capital is merely a Small Thousand World; they can easily break through its world barrier, but Eastern Emperor Heaven is a legitimate Great Thousand World, not so easily penetrated by them.

Moreover, they are now trapped within the Heavenly Emperor's Secret Capital, lacking sufficient spatial beacons. Rashly breaking through space may not accurately lead them to the path towards Eastern Emperor Heaven; they risk becoming lost in the dark void.
