The Primordial Demon Ape lay helplessly in the vast, boundless void.
His large and strong body trembled violently like a candle flickering in the wind, as if each tremor was telling of the deep pain and resentment in his heart.
His once imposing figure was now ravaged beyond recognition by the successive fatal blows, making it impossible for him to stand up on his own.
He could only lie there helplessly, his eyes flashing with an inexplicable light.
In the next instant, the seemingly calm void ahead suddenly rippled with tiny waves, like the ripples on the surface of water after a pebble has been thrown in.
Immediately afterwards, a figure slowly emerged from it; it was Hu Le, holding a bamboo cane.
He stood there quietly, his eyes like a bottomless, icy pool, staring indifferently at the Primordial Demon Ape lying in the void.
Then, he slowly raised his hand and gently pointed, as if an invisible force was instantly condensed and released.
A dazzling golden light shot out from the Hongmeng Demon Ape's arms like an arrow, tracing a magnificent arc in the air before landing in Hu Le's hands, carrying a scroll.
The scroll was none other than the Primordial Golden List, which, after many twists and turns, has finally been returned to its rightful owner.
Hu Le put away the Primordial Golden List, lowered his eyes slightly, his gaze devoid of joy or sorrow, and coldly said, "You beast! Do you know what's good for you now!"
Upon hearing this, a surge of anger ignited in the previously dull eyes of the Primordial Demon Ape.
Just now, when he saw the Great Dao Treasure that he had painstakingly acquired not long ago being so easily taken away by the person in front of him, his already injured body trembled violently again, as if he had suffered an even heavier blow.
Immediately afterwards, a muffled roar came from his throat, and another mouthful of blood gushed uncontrollably from his mouth, staining the void red and vividly displaying his grief and helplessness.
"Taoist! Don't be too smug! Although I have suffered a setback at your hands today, don't underestimate my background. I am not one of those who have no support!"
"If you dare to truly harm me today, you'd better think carefully about the consequences, because His Majesty is a being of boundless and supreme power; he will absolutely not let you off easily!"
With a slightly weak but still stubborn voice, the Primordial Demon Ape tried its best to demonstrate the intimidating power of its backing and threaten Hu Le in front of it.
Upon hearing this, Hu Le was not frightened as the Hongmeng Demon Ape had expected, nor did he immediately attack the monkey. He simply gave a faint "oh," a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes, as if he were laughing at the Hongmeng Demon Ape's overestimation of its own abilities.
He then slowly opened his mouth and asked, "Oh? So you do have some connections? Heh... I wonder who exactly your so-called Emperor is? How dare you use him to threaten me?"
Could he possibly be comparable to the three Dao Ancestors of this primordial universe?
Hu Le found the threat from the Primordial Demon Ape extremely amusing.
In his view, as long as the three Dao Ancestors did not intervene in this primordial chaos, what did he have to fear?
As a being of immense power, he considered a mere Primordial Demon Ape and his so-called emperor to be utterly insignificant.
"you……"
Looking at Hu Le's fearless and indifferent appearance, the Hongmeng Demon Ape felt its resentment grow stronger, as if a flame was burning fiercely in its chest.
After a pause, he shouted angrily, "You arrogant fool, how dare you utter such shameless words? Do you really think you can be compared with the three Dao Ancestors?"
If you have the courage, then come with me to my Emperor and say these words to him in person!
Don't waste your breath with empty words; let me see where your confidence comes from!
Upon hearing this, Hu Le chuckled slightly, and a distinct look of disdain appeared on his previously indifferent face.
His lips curled up slightly, as if mocking the Hongmeng Demon Ape's overestimation of its own abilities.
"Hmph, why bother with all that? Since you've described him so eloquently, then let him come to see me in person! I want to see if he really has the guts to stand before me!"
As he spoke, the smile on his face vanished as quickly as it appeared, and he quickly returned to his previous indifferent expression.
Immediately afterwards, he slowly reached out and casually took the ancient Hongmeng Bell from his waist.
As soon as he got his hands on the Primordial Bell, he shook it slightly, and the Primordial Bell seemed to come alive, growing to a height of about ten feet.
It immediately broke free from his control, shot out with a burst of speed, drew a dazzling arc in the air, and flew headlong towards the Primordial Demon Ape without any mercy, as if it wanted to completely capture it.
Hu Le had no interest in wasting any more words with the Primordial Demon Ape and instead took direct action.
The Primordial Bell emitted a powerful pressure, firmly enveloping the Primordial Demon Ape and preventing it from escaping.
The Primordial Demon Ape stared wide-eyed at the rapidly approaching Primordial Bell with a look of terror on its face, a sense of crisis rising in its heart like never before.
However, at this moment he was like a candle flickering in the wind, in extremely poor physical condition, almost to the point of being afflicted with tuberculosis and other injuries.
The once orderly acupoints in his body now seemed to be ravaged by violent power, almost all of them shattered.
The countless forces of the Great Dao, like a raging river, surged through his frail body like wild horses, wantonly destroying every meridian and internal organ.
As the Primordial Bell, shrouded in purple mist, descended like a giant canopy, its immense pressure instantly enveloped the surroundings, leaving him with no ability to escape.
Even the simplest action, like twitching a finger, became incredibly difficult, as if a thousand-pound weight was pressing down on him, making him unable to move an inch.
With a "whoosh," the Primordial Bell fell swiftly like a shooting star, perfectly capturing the Primordial Demon Ape within its bell.
The Primordial Demon Ape roared in frustration inside the bell, but it was unable to break free from the Primordial Bell's restraints.
Seeing this, Hu Le chuckled to himself. He reached out and beckoned, and the Primordial Bell, as if it had a spirit, spun around and then obediently flew into Hu Le's hand.
Just then, a clear and melodious voice slowly drifted from the depths of the endless void: "Fellow Daoist Xuanxiang! Please show mercy!"
Hearing the voice, Hu Le's expression remained indifferent. He gripped the Hongmeng Bell tightly in his hand, slowly raised his eyes, and looked in the direction from which the voice came.
A blurry figure faintly emerged from the depths of the void, standing with its hands behind its back, silently watching him...
