Houtu, Dijun, and their spouse dodged away, avoiding the Chaos Bell. They were safe, but Xuanming Niangniang was left alone to face Hu Le.
Hu Le stepped forward, instantly closing to within three feet of Xuanming Niangniang, and with a flick of his bamboo staff, he encircled her.
At the same time, the Chaos Bell flew back, hovering above her head and swaying slightly before striking the space-time around the Goddess Xuanming with a clang.
The heavy tolling of the bell simultaneously impacted the mind of the Goddess Xuanming.
Xuanming Niangniang felt the surrounding space suddenly become solid, as if cast in bronze and iron, making it extremely difficult for her to move.
The resounding bell tolled, shaking her to her core, and her blood surged so violently that she could not calm down for a time.
Taking this opportunity, Hu Le intensified his attack with the bamboo staff in his hand.
After Xuanming Niangniang managed to parry a few rounds, Hu Le swept his bamboo staff aside with a single stroke, knocking the sword out of Xuanming Niangniang's hand and immediately exposing an opening in her chest.
Hu Le flicked his wrist, aiming the bamboo staff directly at Xuanming Niangniang's heart.
Seeing this from afar, Houtu Niangniang and Emperor Jun were extremely anxious. They frantically rushed towards Hu Le while simultaneously unleashing their magical powers.
Houtu Niangniang raised her hand and released the Nine Heavens Breath Soil, which transformed into a yellow cloud and swept towards Hu Le.
Di Jun then summoned the Hetu Luoshu to wrap up Hu Le.
At this moment, Chang Xi raised his hand and pointed to the sky. After the essence of the sun and moon merged, it descended from the sky wrapped in a ball of light and slashed towards Hu Le.
However, the three of them were ultimately a step too slow.
Hu Le's bamboo staff had already struck Xuanming Niangniang's heart first.
With a snap, Lady Xuanming was struck as if by lightning. Her face turned deathly pale, her delicate body trembled violently, and she staggered backward.
Only then did Di Jun and the others' magical treasures reach Hu Le.
The Xuanhuang Merit Cloud above Hu Le's head spun slightly, shooting out three streams of Xuanhuang Qi that struck the three incoming spiritual treasures respectively.
Whether it was the Hetu Luoshu or the Nine Heavens Breath Soil, their speed was halted by the impact of the Xuanhuang Qi, and they could only spin around aimlessly under the scouring of the Xuanhuang Qi, unable to get close to Hu Le no matter what.
Hu Le turned his head and smiled gently at the three of them. With a flick of his left hand, a scroll of cosmic light suddenly appeared in his palm. He shook it and the scroll unfurled. Taking advantage of the moment when Xuanming Niangniang was severely injured and powerless to resist, he wrapped it around her head.
Only then did the three of them rush to Hu Le's side, brandishing their magical weapons and attacking him.
Hu Le took a step back, using his bamboo staff to parry the three men's attacks while shaking the Cosmic Light Diagram in his hand three times.
The power of time flowed within the image, evolving into boundless illusions, and in the blink of an eye, it suppressed the Xuanming Goddess.
Hu Le then put away the Cosmic Light Diagram, leaving Xuanming Niangniang with no chance of escaping.
"Release my sister immediately!"
Houtu Niangniang was furious upon seeing this. She shouted loudly and intensified her attacks, even showing signs of fighting desperately.
It should be noted that over countless eons, she and Lady Xuanming have become sworn sisters, supporting each other to get to where they are today.
Their relationship was even closer than that of blood sisters.
Now that Lady Xuanming has fallen into Hu Le's hands and her fate is unknown, how could she not be anxious?
Unfortunately, even if she risked her life at this moment, she could not save Lady Xuanming. Instead, it seemed that because she was worried and lost her composure, Hu Le found an opening and struck her on the shoulder with his staff, crippling one of her arms.
However, she couldn't care less about anything else at this moment. She reached out and touched her shoulder, and as soon as her injury improved slightly, she pounced on Hu Le like a mad tiger once again.
Seeing this, Emperor Jun and his wife also adopted a desperate stance.
The couple wielded their swords together, shouting and yelling as their blades flashed, enveloping Hu Le and relentlessly slaying him.
Then, in a split second, Hu Le suddenly shouted, "Go!"
Immediately afterwards, Chang Xi let out a cry of pain as a bamboo cane struck her chest, causing her to stagger uncontrollably out of the battle.
The next moment, Houtu Niangniang also let out a muffled groan, as if she had suffered a serious injury, and had to retreat.
Now only Di Jun remains, but he is already struggling to carry the burden alone.
Di Jun barely managed to parry a few moves when Hu Le suddenly raised his hand and unleashed a Heavenly Thunderbolt. With a deafening roar, it exploded above Di Jun's head, and the chaotic lightning instantly poured onto the Hetu Luoshu.
Originally, the Hetu Luoshu hung above Di Jun's head, casting a clear light to protect him.
At this moment, the Hetu Luoshu was struck by divine lightning, and the falling clear light became somewhat scattered.
Hu Le naturally wouldn't let this good opportunity slip by.
With a thought, the Chaos Bell flew in from the side, smashing Qing Guang to pieces with a bang, and then slammed into Di Jun's chest.
A snap.
Di Jun's chest caved in instantly, and he was thrown backward.
Hu Le, however, was not going to let him off so easily. He stepped forward, grabbed the Chaos Bell, and then quickly caught up with Di Jun, raising the Chaos Bell and slamming it down on his head.
At this moment, Di Jun was already on the verge of falling apart from the impact of the Chaos Bell, so he had no way to dodge and could only watch helplessly as the Chaos Bell fell on his head.
"My life is over!"
Knowing that he could not escape this time, Di Jun cried out in despair and was about to close his eyes and await his death.
However, at this moment, Chang Xi had recovered somewhat and managed to muster some strength to rush forward. She pushed Di Jun away from under the Chaos Bell.
But this exposed her to the Chaos Bell.
Hu Le's eyes were indifferent, showing no pity whatsoever. He grabbed the Chaos Bell and pressed it down, enveloping Chang Xi inside the bell.
Then, he grabbed the Chaos Bell and began to shake it violently.
"Clang clang clang..."
A series of bells rang out, as if to send off Chang Xi.
In an instant, the spacetime within the Chaos Bell shattered a thousand times. As the bell tolled, Chang Xi's physical body and primordial spirit were also reduced to dust in an instant.
In the darkness, it felt as if a large piece of Di Jun's heart had been ripped out. When he sensed Chang Xi's aura disappearing into the world, he knew exactly what had happened.
Chang Xi...
Di Jun cried out in sorrow, and with a thought, he retrieved the Hetu Luoshu. Suddenly, he transformed into a ball of golden light and merged into the Hetu Luoshu.
He immediately went berserk, activating the Hetu Luoshu, which transformed into a ball of white light and crashed fiercely into Hu Le.
He was desperately trying to avenge his wife.
Then, the Earth Goddess also looked grief-stricken, clearly thinking of the Xuanming Goddess from Chang Xi.
Ignoring her injuries, she charged at Hu Le with her longsword.
Seeing Di Jun rush over first, Hu Le smiled gently, "You've come at the right time! Perfect timing to take you to reunite with Chang Xi and his wife."
Before he finished speaking, he threw out the Chaos Bell.
The Chaos Bell, enveloped in a cloud of chaotic energy, met the white light formed by the Hetu and Luoshu...
