Yu Yuan's eyes widened as he turned his head to carefully survey his surroundings.
The boundless Ancient Star Domain, the dark starry sky carrying countless dazzling stars.
This scene was so familiar to him.
Especially the fierce gaze from the Kunpeng Ancestor, Bai Ze Demon Saint, and others looking at him, which confirmed that the "return failure" had indeed happened.
Realizing that the Hongmeng Purple Qi was on him, this time travel journey lost its meaning, so he started planning to return early to the Sealing God Era.
For him, returning early was just a matter of thought.
It was the future Chaos Bell crossing through time and space, guiding him back to the future.
However, what he didn't expect was just as he had entered the river of time, he heard a deafening bell sound and was then brought back by an invisible force.
Recalling that brief experience, he couldn't help but turn his head to look towards Donghuang Taiyi.
In his view, only the former owner of the Chaos Bell could accomplish this.
At this moment, he felt deeply once again—the Chaos Bell really was too tricky!
"Now, do you have any other tricks up your sleeve?"
Donghuang Taiyi looked at Yu Yuan indifferently, "If not, then state your origins and hand over the Hongmeng Purple Qi. I might spare your life."
His words were measured and calm.
His tranquil tone seemed to have already doomed Yu Yuan.
Yu Yuan, now fully aware of his predicament, cleared his throat calmly, laughing as he said, "Since you sincerely asked, then out of great compassion, I will tell you.
He made a big show of it, revealing a mouthful of shining white teeth, as he loudly recited:
"Before Heaven and Earth were formed, I was born; witnessing Pangu creating the cosmos.
All beings came to be, divided into Heaven, demons, and monsters; amongst the three clans battling for supremacy, I was an observer."
Having spoken just two lines of the verse, the Kunpeng Ancestor, Bai Ze Demon Saint, and the other powerful beings of the Demon Court had already turned grim.
Whereas Red Cloud Ancestor was both shocked and pleased as he exclaimed,
"You are Xuan Yangzi!"
Hearing this, Emperor Jiang, Zhu Jiuyin, and Xuan Ming, the three Ancestor Witches, also showed a burst of light in their eyes.
Clearly, they had heard of Xuan Yangzi, who once caused havoc in the Heavenly Court.
"Damn Xuan Yangzi, it was you!"
Bai Ze Demon Saint couldn't help but curse out loud.
And without another word, Kunpeng Ancestor immediately acted, launching the Faceless Heavenly Demon Divine Claw towards Yu Yuan.
As powers of the Heavenly Court who had closely dealt with Yu Yuan before, both held deep-seated hatred for him.
Now, with old and new resentments combined, the intent to kill surged forth, aiming to slay Yu Yuan right there.
Yu Yuan slightly raised his eyebrows, meeting the Kunpeng Ancestor with a punch.
With a loud crash, the claw shadow that obscured the sky instantly dispersed, and Kunpeng Ancestor flew backward like a meteor, crashing heavily onto a large star, piercing right through it.
"It seems I used a bit too much force."
Yu Yuan muttered to himself.
He had fought with Kunpeng Ancestor across different times and spaces.
Even the Kunpeng Ancestor of the future, who had the deepest Dao, was no match for him, much less the current one.
Meanwhile, the Chaos Bell chimed softly, visibly sealing the space with bell waves.
Yu Yuan immediately felt like being stuck in a quagmire, with space from all directions pressing in on him, the immense pressure surging like carrying an Ancient Divine Mountain on his back.
Is this the power of the Chaos Bell?
Yu Yuan never thought that one day, he too would be subjected to the Chaos Bell's sanction, feeling incredibly frustrated.
Yet, after Donghuang Taiyi activated the Chaos Bell to set the spacetime quagmire to restrain Yu Yuan, he didn't rush to attack but instead looked seriously at Yu Yuan, saying: "If my guess is correct, you were able to time travel to this era using the power of the Chaos Bell, right? I want to know why the Chaos Bell will fall into your hands in the future?
Also, with such unbridled actions, you must be altering the past!
Aren't you afraid of incurring the sanctions of the Heavenly Dao?
Or is there some method you have to avoid divine punishment?"
Yu Yuan raised his eyebrows, smiling, "Catch me and ask then... Two Ancestor Witches, what are you waiting for? Do you really want to watch idly as the Demon Clan gets the Hongmeng Purple Qi?"
With that said, he turned and threw a punch.
Under the effects of the Blood Burning Mystical Skill, burning both essence and Divine Soul crazily, his Divine Power surged to its peak, reaching more than twice its usual level. This terrifying power directly followed his fist and burst out.
A space of several million square miles was mercilessly torn apart in an instant, like a mirror being struck by a bullet, collapsing and shattering into countless tiny fragments.
The broken scene was truly terrifying.
Earth, water, fire, wind surged, seemingly devouring everything.
The several million square miles of space centered around Yu Yuan instantly plunged into a vast chaos.
In this chaos, both time and space were disordered.
Though it had no effect on these Quasi-Saint powers, the spacetime quagmire that had previously restrained Yu Yuan could no longer continue.
Without hesitation, Yu Yuan immediately used the Shrinking Land into Inches Technique, escaping into the infinite starry sky.
He needed to distance himself from Donghuang Taiyi and the Chaos Bell.
Only then could he successfully return to his own era.
