Hu Le was shocked. He never expected that he would be unable to withstand such a casual blow from across endless space and time!
He coughed up a mouthful of blood, feeling as if his internal organs were being burned away, and he was in excruciating pain.
At this moment, he realized with absolute clarity that the terrifyingly powerful Kongxuan Dao Ancestor would not give up easily, and that the second attack would surely follow like a storm before long.
And it is certain that the power of this next attack will be several times more ferocious than the previous one!
Faced with such a desperate situation, Hu Le knew that with his current strength, he probably couldn't withstand it at all.
In despair, he could only place all his hopes on his teacher, Taiyi Daozu. He closed his eyes, clasped his hands together, and silently prayed to Taiyi Daozu.
At this moment, it seemed to be the only lifeline he could grasp.
No sooner said than done, just as Hu Le was full of prayers, the Dao Ancestor Kong Xuan unsurprisingly attacked again!
He slowly raised his arm, extended a finger and gently touched it. In an instant, the power of the Great Dao of Primordial Chaos surged and converged at his fingertip like a tidal wave.
These incredibly powerful forces merged and intertwined, instantly transforming into an invisible force that shot out with earth-shattering force, its target being the illusory image of the Primordial Bell suspended in the air.
In the darkness, Hu Le keenly sensed the supreme power contained in this attack, and couldn't help but tremble all over, his face turning as pale as paper.
However, even knowing that the situation was extremely critical, he still gritted his teeth and persevered, doing his best to activate the Hongmeng Bell.
In an instant, the Hongmeng Bell emitted a dazzling light, and boundless purple energy rose up like billowing smoke, filling the surroundings.
At the same time, a vast and mighty force originating from the beginning of time rippled outwards, attempting to resist the fatal attack.
But Hu Le was already at his last gasp. How long could this desperate struggle last?
This contest, taking place on the Great Dao of Primordial Chaos, has inexplicably attracted the attention of some powerful beings of creation and transcendence. They have focused their minds on the Great Dao and are watching this battle from afar.
Just as that invisible force swept across the road like lightning, fiercely attacking the illusory image of the Primordial Bell with unparalleled might, everyone who witnessed this scene held their breath.
Just as the attack was about to hit its target, something unexpected happened at the critical moment.
Below, the once surging and majestic river suddenly stopped flowing without warning.
Time seemed to freeze at that moment, the entire space-time stopped flowing instantly, and even the Great Dao seemed to be imprisoned by some mysterious force, falling into a deathly silence.
And the next instant was even more astonishing.
A gigantic hand, radiating brilliant light and flowing with endless mysteries, slowly rose from the seemingly calm and still river of the Great Dao.
This giant hand is like the hand of an ancient god, full of supreme majesty and unfathomable power.
It lay across the void, firmly blocking the illusory image of the Primordial Bell, like an indestructible fortress.
Immediately afterwards, the large hand, shimmering with rosy light, suddenly gripped tightly with its five fingers, the movement clean and swift, without the slightest hesitation.
In the blink of an eye, he firmly grasped the fierce attack of the Void Profound Dao Ancestor in his palm.
Before anyone could even gasp in amazement, a soft thud was heard. The giant hand simply clenched its fist, and the powerful strike from the Void Profound Ancestor was easily annihilated.
Seeing this, Hu Le, who had been watching the game with bated breath, was overjoyed. His tense nerves finally relaxed, and he let out a long sigh of relief.
In contrast, Kongxuan Daozu frowned slightly, a look of surprise on his face.
His gaze was piercing as he stared intently at the suddenly appearing giant hand, uttering two words calmly: "Taiyi!"
Before his words had even finished, the large hand, shimmering with rosy light, vanished into thin air, transforming into a wisp of smoke-like mist.
This wisp of pure energy twisted and changed in the air, and in just a moment, it transformed into a slightly aged-looking white-robed Taoist.
This person was none other than the renowned Taiyi Dao Ancestor.
After Taiyi Daozu appeared, he did not rush to attack. Instead, he first nodded slightly to Kongxuan Daozu, and then slowly said, "Fellow Daoist, as the master of the Great Dao of a realm, your status is so esteemed and your position so lofty."
Why would you do something like this today, bullying the weak? This is hardly befitting your status.
Kongxuan Daozu's originally calm face suddenly furrowed slightly, and his deep, abyss-like eyes swept lightly behind Taiyi Daozu.
Behind the Taiyi Dao Ancestor, a colossal Primordial Bell appeared and disappeared, its phantom seemingly connecting to endless, distant time and space. Through the phantom of the Primordial Bell, the Kongxuan Dao Ancestor actually saw a figure in the distance.
The figure wore a dazzling golden crown and a magnificent, mysterious purple robe, looking like an immortal descending to earth.
Kongxuan Daozu merely glanced at him before slowly replying, "Oh? In that case, that boy must be your disciple, fellow Daoist?"
Although his words sounded like a question, he actually already had a definite judgment on the matter in his heart.
Upon hearing this, Taiyi Daozu nodded slightly.
Then, he said softly, "That's right, this boy is my unworthy disciple."
"Regarding today's matter, I hope you, fellow Daoist, can be lenient and do me the favor of letting him off this time, how about that?"
In fact, given Taiyi Daozu's strength and status, he was naturally not afraid of Kongxuan Daozu.
He knew very well that even if he could successfully rescue Hu Le from the hands of the Kongxuan Dao Ancestor today, he would ultimately be unable to protect him by his side at all times and ensure his lifelong safety.
After all, if Hu Le were to be targeted by a Dao Ancestor-level figure, his future cultivation path would inevitably be filled with hardships and tribulations, and his future might even be ruined.
Therefore, the Taiyi Dao Ancestor knew that he could not keep this disciple by his side forever, protecting him for a lifetime without worry.
After listening to what Daoist Taiyi said, Daoist Kongxuan remained silent for a moment, knowing that he probably couldn't do anything to Hu Le today.
So, he finally nodded slightly and replied, "Since you've said so, then I'll do you face this time."
However, before he could finish speaking, his entire body gradually merged into the vast and boundless void of the Great Dao, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
