After guarding the gates for a hundred years, I drove the Heavenly Saint to madness.

boom--!!!

An indescribable ripple of terror spread outwards like a ring of stars.

Outside Jiepai Pass, several towering mountains were swept by this ripple, turning into dust without a sound.

The Bodhi Patriarch held the illusory image of the Seven Treasures Tree, and each sweep of it carried the sage's Daoist aura of annihilation of all phenomena.

Xiao Wuji didn't dodge or evade at all. Relying on the abnormal physical strength of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal, his fists were like cannonballs, smashing head-on into the seven-colored divine light.

The fists collided with the tree branches, and with each clash, the space within a ten-mile radius crumbled inch by inch.

After dozens of rounds...

Xiao Wuji grew stronger with each battle, his twenty-four minor worlds within his body roaring incessantly, his blood and qi surging like dragons.

On the other hand, Bodhi Patriarch became increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed.

He was horrified to discover that the illusory tree he had forcibly condensed from the Daoist essence of a sage was actually dimmed by Xiao Wuji's furious barrage of iron fists.

If the fight continues, there's a risk that his avatar might be smashed to pieces!

Face is important, but if a dignified saint were to be beaten to a pulp by a junior with his bare hands, that would be a true disgrace.

"Fellow Daoist Laojun!"

Bodhi Patriarch suddenly pulled back a hundred feet, dodging Xiao Wuji's punch that was aimed at his chest, completely tearing off that mask of hypocrisy.

His face was ashen, and he shouted sternly at the avatar of Laozi who had been holding the line above:

"This child's physical body is strange; delay will only lead to trouble! Forget about your saintly status any longer; let's join forces and finish this quickly!"

Above the clouds, Laozi, riding on the back of a green ox, frowned slightly.

It's certainly not a good thing to hear that it's two against one, or that a saint is besieging a junior.

But his insightful eyes saw clearly that there were too many variables surrounding Xiao Wuji, and that brute force focused on physical cultivation could not be allowed to grow unchecked.

The old man sighed deeply, his voice tinged with helplessness.

"Very well, this is the only way."

Before the words were even finished, the two saintly incarnations, representing the most powerful forces in the primordial world, actually put aside all their pride and bottom lines.

They attacked simultaneously from both the left and the right!

Laozi transformed and pointed downwards.

"change!"

The white jade bridge, which was originally laid out under Xiao Wuji's feet to restrict his movements, suddenly underwent a dramatic change.

The seemingly indestructible bridge surface instantly disintegrated, transforming into two vast yin and yang energies, one black and one white.

These two streams of air connected end to end in mid-air, transforming into a yin-yang millstone that blotted out the sky!

The millstone moved up and down, locking Xiao Wuji firmly in the center.

The Yin and Yang energies rotated in opposite directions, carrying the immense power of the Heavenly Dao that could obliterate all matter and laws in the world, and relentlessly crushed towards him.

At the same time, Bodhi Patriarch no longer held back, and he threw the dim, illusory image of the wondrous tree in his hand into the sky.

"Annihilation Thunder, fall!"

The phantom shattered with a roar, transforming into a sky full of colorful thunderclouds.

Tens of thousands of divine lightning bolts, imbued with the laws of Western bliss and annihilation, rained down on Xiao Wuji like a raging storm, crashing down through the cracks in the Yin-Yang millstone.

The Yin-Yang millstone seals and crushes, while the Annihilation Divine Thunder destroys and annihilates—this is a deadly situation with no blind spots!

"Boom boom boom boom—!"

Xiao Wuji, who was at the center of the siege, finally felt unprecedented pressure.

Although the physical body of a Primordial Golden Immortal is incomparably powerful, what he is facing is, after all, supreme means containing the true laws of a sage.

"Click."

The protective aura formed from the power of the twenty-four worlds on his body began to show fine cracks under the relentless crushing of the Yin-Yang millstone.

Immediately afterwards, a barrage of divine lightning struck through the crack.

Xiao Wuji let out a muffled groan, and finally, a trace of golden blood seeped from his skin.

The blood was instantly evaporated by the raging lightning as soon as it seeped out.

Excruciating pain! A pain that tears your soul apart!

Even in this seemingly hopeless situation, Xiao Wuji's spine remained ramrod straight. He did not beg for mercy, nor did he flinch in the slightest.

He raised his head, letting the golden blood slide down his cheeks. In those deep eyes, there was no despair, only a frenzied fighting spirit that burned ever brighter, like oil being poured on a raging fire.

"Both of those old geezers coming at me at once?"

Xiao Wuji grinned, revealing his bloodstained teeth, his laughter arrogant and unrestrained:

"It's one thing for the West to be shameless. But I never expected that even Lao Tzu, who prided himself on being virtuous and inactive, would also be so shameless."

"You really think I'm easy to bully, huh?"

The pressure from the Yin-Yang millstone grew heavier and heavier, and Xiao Wuji's bones began to creak under the strain.

He knew he couldn't keep pushing himself. He had reached his limit and there was no need to continue being so overconfident.

"Since you're shameless, then let me see just how strong you really are, and whether you live up to your reputation!"

Xiao Wuji took a deep breath, his eyes suddenly sharpened, and he poured all the power in his body into the depths of his dantian.

"come out!!"

Accompanied by a roar.

"when----!!!"

An ancient, desolate bell, seemingly capable of turning back time, resounded without warning at the center of the Yin-Yang millstone!

The sound of that bell was terrifying.

It transcends the Five Elements and rises above Yin and Yang.

A withered yellow ancient bell, exuding endless primordial energy, soared into the sky from within Xiao Wuji's body.

It swelled with the wind, instantly growing to a hundred feet in size, hovering above Xiao Wuji's head.

The Primordial Treasure—the Chaos Bell!

On the bell, the sun, moon, and stars twinkle, and the earth, water, fire, and wind are reenacted.

The myriad streams of primordial energy cascaded down like a tangible waterfall, firmly protecting Xiao Wuji in the center.

"Boom!"

Laozi transformed into the originally unstoppable Yin-Yang millstone. The moment he collided with this primordial energy, it was like a wooden gear getting stuck in a piece of chaotic divine iron, emitting an extremely piercing friction sound.

Subsequently, the Yin and Yang energies were forcibly frozen in mid-air, unable to be pressed down even slightly!

"That's... the Chaos Bell?"

Above the clouds, the Bodhi Patriarch, who had previously appeared compassionate and empathetic, now had his eyes practically bulging out.

Even Laozi's eyes, which had been as still as an ancient well, finally stirred up a stormy sea.

Although Yuanshi Tianzun asked them to take action, he did not reveal much information. On the one hand, he felt that this matter was not important, and that ants would still be ants even if they obtained the Chaos Bell. On the other hand, he wanted to get the Chaos Bell into his own hands, since it was a supreme innate treasure that would be of great use to sages.

Furthermore, the Chaos Bell itself conceals the secrets of heaven, so even a sage cannot calculate them unless he sees them with his own eyes.

Therefore, neither Zhunti nor Taiqing knew of the existence of the Chaos Bell, and they were both stunned when they saw this scene.

However, Xiao Wuji wouldn't give them time to be in a daze.

The heavy pressure of the Chaos Bell above his head and the Yin-Yang Millstone had vanished.

Xiao Wuji felt a lightness throughout his body, and an unprecedented sense of freedom flowed through his entire being.

"You old bald monk, it's my turn now!"

Xiao Wuji licked the golden blood from the corner of his mouth and suddenly sprang to his feet.

boom!

He shattered the void beneath his feet, unleashing the peak physical power of a Primordial Golden Immortal, like an ancient ferocious beast breaking free of its shackles, instantly piercing through the boundless sea of ​​lightning.

"Slay!"

Xiao Wuji roared, unleashing the Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique previously taught by Tongtian. It contained a tremendous sense of destruction, as if the world was about to be reborn.
