With a whoosh sound, the great cauldron obtained from Celestial Lord Xuanmiao was instantly deployed, soaring directly towards the opponent's cauldron.

"Ah... a divine cauldron?" Celestial Lord Xuanmiao and Daoist Priest Qianyun simultaneously gasped, clearly not expecting that Ye Jingyu had completely refined this cauldron in just a few days.

But immediately after, the purplish-copper Thunder Hammer appeared in Ye Jingyu's hand, and he threw it like a grenade directly at the divine cauldron deployed by Daoist Priest Qianyun.

"Ah, the Thunder God Hammer? How could you..." Daoist Priest Hanbing, standing nearby, was about to ask how he managed to refine them all, but before he could finish his sentence, a massive iron seal tumbled from Ye Jingyu's grasp. In almost an instant, the iron seal grew to the size of a small mountain, carrying the power of earth, water, fire, wind, thunder, and stars, hurtling toward the pitch-black iron block deployed by Daoist Priest Hanbing.

Perhaps no one on the former Douhun Continent recognized this object, but those like Hanbing and Xuanmiao, who had inherited the immortal arts of the Ancient Immortals, certainly did.

The Heaven-Overturning Seal...

That legendary Heaven-Overturning Seal. In the Primordial Era, which Great Overarching Golden Immortal or Grand Unity Loose Immortal could withstand this magic treasure? Back then, Guangchengzi almost relied on this treasure to dominate the Primordial Immortal Realm. How could this thing appear in his hands? He is currently aiding demons? Could it be that Great Immortal Guangchengzi had suddenly defected to the enemy camp? Otherwise, why wouldn't he take this treasure with him when he left this plane?

Under the horrified gazes of the trio, the Heaven-Overturning Seal violently smashed down upon the iron seal. The iron seal, Daoist Priest Hanbing's intrinsic magic treasure named the Mountain-Shattering Seal, shattered on the spot, its inherent spiritual essence completely devoured by the Heaven-Overturning Seal.

Next, the Heaven-Overturning Seal continued hurtling towards the three of them...

Despair was already visible in their eyes. Although they were confident, how could they possibly resist a top-tier magic treasure that even Immortals and Saints might be unable to withstand?

A look of grim determination flashed in Daoist Priest Hanbing's eyes. He had already resolved to self-detonate his primordial spirit to carve out a path to survival for Celestial Lord Xuanmiao.

But just as he was about to desperately ignite his primordial spirit, a bronze ancient bell materialized and hovered above Ye Jingyu's head. Waves of cyan light spilled downward, instantly causing Celestial Lord Xuanmiao, Daoist Priest Hanbing, and Daoist Priest Qianyun to feel as if everything about them had been locked down.

Sensing the power suppressing space, and gazing upon the archaic demon script inscribed on the ancient bell—script that even they could not decipher—they transitioned from despair to numbness...

The Heaven-Overturning Seal was one thing; although it was a famous top-tier treasure from antiquity, it was ultimately forged. But this bell... this, this was the Eastern Emperor Bell! The legendary Eastern Emperor Bell! The foremost divine artifact of the Three Realms, the artifact that governed the destiny of the Three Realms...

A primordial supreme treasure formed in the Chaos before the world was split apart—a true innate supreme treasure...

Heavens, do you even have eyes? To leave such a thing to a human traitor! Could you perhaps open your eyes and see straight?

Under the numb stares of the three supreme immortals, the divine cauldron was knocked aside, and the Heaven-Overturning Seal slammed down fiercely. The immortal bodies of Daoist Priest Hanbing and Daoist Priest Qianyun fractured like glass. Their primordial spirits, along with Celestial Lord Xuanmiao’s, let out desperate screams, while the four forces of earth, water, fire, and wind swept over them...

Smash, smash, smash, smash... Their primordial spirits were crushed to pieces. Just as they were about to completely turn to dust and vanish, Ye Jingyu swiftly recalled the Heaven-Overturning Seal and used the Eastern Emperor Bell to immobilize their souls, which were on the verge of dissipating.

Xuanming still needed Celestial Lord Xuanmiao’s soul for experimentation, and Little Tao Tao's injuries required this pure primordial spirit essence for healing. Even scrap material shouldn't be wasted, let alone the souls of three supreme immortals? Their magic power had been utterly pulverized by the Heaven-Overturning Seal, and even their consciousness was largely scattered. What remained was the purest form of soul power. The soul power of a supreme immortal, even severely wounded, would absolutely be stronger than the soul power of a Cosmos-level demon, as demons primarily cultivate the power of their physical bodies.

With a single gesture, he reeled in the cauldron that Daoist Priest Qianyun had deployed. Ye Jingyu then noticed that the two great cauldrons were identical—the material, the style, even the inscribed talismans were exactly the same.

Could there be more than one of these cauldrons?

When the cauldron was taken from Celestial Lord Xuanmiao earlier, Zhurong and the others were not present. But now, seeing these two cyan cauldrons, their brows furrowed tightly; they clearly recognized this type of cauldron. However, Ye Jingyu's entire focus was fixed on the massive inner core. He failed to notice the expressions of the others.

The inner core of a Black Tortoise! If its mere manifested Black Tortoise body could withstand the attacks of so many powerful beings, how immense must the power contained within it be? If he could consume this inner core, his cultivation should reach the Cosmos level, right? Once he broke through to the Cosmos level, the strength of the others would also greatly increase, wouldn't it?

Thinking this, Ye Jingyu snatched the Black Tortoise inner core Xuanming offered and swallowed it whole. The Black Tortoise spirit sealed within had already been extracted by Xuanming...

In an instant, Ye Jingyu felt a massive surge of Water Essence Power erupting within his body. The water acupoint on his kidney frantically absorbed this Water Essence Power, which would have taken an unknown number of years to condense. The blue mist within the acupoint grew denser, gradually showing signs of solidification...

Ye Jingyu sat cross-legged in the void. With Xuanming having whisked away the souls of Xuanmiao and the others to an undisclosed location within the great formation for study, Zhurong and the rest stood by his side, guarding him during his meditation.

The slaughter continued below. If even a top-tier expert like Xuanmiao could not break out, then these ordinary heavenly soldiers were certainly incapable of breaching the great formation. Within this isolated formation, their only fate was to be devoured by the demons of the Blood Demon Legion.

Xuanming did not directly crush Celestial Lord Xuanmiao's primordial spirit; he merely contained it. He intended to study thoroughly how Xuanmiao had refined the Black Tortoise spirit into his second primordial spirit. However, Daoist Priest Hanbing's and Daoist Priest Qianyun's souls did not receive such careful treatment. Xuanming casually refined them into two primordial elixirs and tossed them to Ni Bo and Little Tao Tao. Taotie and Ni Bo certainly wouldn't be polite; they had suffered greatly in the previous battle against Xuanmiao and the others, and their injuries had yet to fully recover.

With the great formation providing cover, Celestial Lord Xuanmiao’s primordial spirit remained intact, and his spirit tablet had not shattered, making it impossible to detect him in the short term. Ye Jingyu, as well as Ni Bo and Taotie, were all focused on restoring their own cultivation...
