The Hongmeng Bell flew out of Hu Le's hand, spun around, and disappeared into the void. In the next instant, it appeared above Lao Niu's head.
Then, with a clang, the bell swayed slightly and emitted a melodious chime.
As the bell tolled, the three sword lights that had been relentlessly attacking him shattered instantly, and Li Daozhi and the other two were sent flying backward by the shockwave.
Old Niu glanced up at the Hongmeng Bell suspended in the air, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
"Hahaha... Thank you, sir!"
Old Niu laughed heartily and thanked him. He took a step forward and instantly appeared in front of the Primordial Bell, grabbing the Primordial Treasure in his hand.
Then, a fierce glint flashed in Old Niu's eyes as he looked at Li Daozhi and the other two, and said menacingly, "You are all going to die!"
After saying that, Old Niu reached out and gently patted the Hongmeng Bell. With another clang, the Hongmeng Bell shook slightly again, and an invisible suction force emanated from it, instantly enveloping the three of them tightly.
The three of them suddenly felt powerless, as they were thrown into the air by a powerful force and thrown straight into the Hongmeng Bell.
The Primordial Bell invisibly enveloped the vast void, and countless forces of law pressed madly towards Li Daozhi and the other two.
The three tried their best to escape, but their efforts seemed futile under the powerful suppression of the Primordial Bell.
They were swept up like fallen leaves in the wind and then quickly sucked into the Hongmeng Bell.
Old Niu gripped the Hongmeng Bell tightly and slammed it down with all his might.
The primordial world within the Hongmeng Bell exploded instantly, and everything was pulverized into dust.
The three people, including Li Daozhi, who were inside, also disappeared along with this destructive force.
With a deafening roar, the three were reduced to ashes amidst their desperate screams.
Only then did the world inside the Hongmeng Bell gradually return to peace.
Sensing the deaths of the three, Old Niu finally released the Hongmeng Bell, his eyes filled with shame as he looked at the bell.
He sighed inwardly, feeling extremely guilty. Although he had severed his three corpses in the dark, he still needed the master's help when facing three opponents who were not as strong as him.
Actually, you can't blame him for this.
After all, he had always followed Hu Le and rarely had the opportunity to fight with others.
Therefore, his combat experience is relatively limited. Although his cultivation level is quite high, in actual combat, others can use their magical treasures and rich combat experience to hold their own against him…
At this moment, the Hongmeng Bell circled around the old ox and greeted him.
Then, it spun around and instantly disappeared into the void, vanishing without a trace.
Old Niu knew in his heart that his master had taken the treasure back.
He gathered up the spiritual treasures left behind by Li Daozhi and the other two, then turned and returned to the Heavenly Court.
After returning to his throne, he slowly sat down, gazing at the assembled immortals and gods in the hall as he fell into deep thought.
Old Niu secretly resolved that he must work hard to cultivate and improve his strength in the future.
He can no longer disappoint the master; he must become a truly powerful being…
The immortals and gods below, seeing that only Old Ox had returned, had somewhat uncertain expressions, yet they were still unsure of the outcome of the previous battle.
Then one of them stepped forward, bowed, and asked, "May I ask Your Majesty, how are the Galactic Emperor and the others doing now?"
Upon hearing this, Old Niu immediately snapped out of his thoughts. His expression was cold, and his aura was terrifying, making it difficult for anyone to look directly at him. He said calmly, "What else can I do? Those who dared to defy me deserve their doom. Naturally, I will send them to ashes..."
"They..." Upon hearing the word "they," the immortals and gods were greatly surprised. Could it be that Li Daozhi was among them? He was the former Heavenly Emperor!
Old Niu looked at the crowd below and sneered, "What? Do you have any objections?"
The atmosphere in the room instantly became heavy. Many immortals lowered their heads and remained silent, but someone still mustered up the courage to cup their hands and ask, "Your Majesty, when you mentioned 'them,' did you include Li... Li Daozhi?"
Old Niu gave the man a cold look but did not answer the question.
The atmosphere in the room became even more tense, and the immortal even began to regret asking the question.
Old Niu slowly spoke: "Hmph, no matter who it is, anyone who opposes me must pay the price! Is Li Daozhi an exception?"
After saying this, he rose from his throne and turned to the rear hall, leaving behind a group of gods and immortals who were stunned.
From then on, the old ox sat in the Heavenly Court and became the true Heavenly Emperor.
With the fall of the Galactic Emperor, the movement of the stars lost its master, and Old Bull did not promote a new star lord, but instead took on the position himself.
Several days later, the Lord of the Underworld emerged from the Underworld and personally came to the Heavenly Court.
His purpose in coming to Heaven this time was very clear—to meet with the Old Ox and express his submission to him.
With the example of the Galactic Emperor before him, the Lord of the Underworld dared not defy the Old Bull again.
After all, there are only a handful of emperors in the entire world, and he doesn't think he's stronger than the Galactic Emperor.
The sooner he submits, the sooner he can have peace of mind; otherwise, if the Heavenly Emperor Lao Niu leads his people to attack, he doesn't think he can withstand it.
Upon learning of the arrival of the Lord of the Underworld, Old Niu did not deliberately put on an arrogant attitude; instead, he greeted him very warmly.
Seeing this, the Lord of the Underworld felt somewhat relieved, but still treated the old ox with utmost respect, indicating his willingness to submit to him.
Old Niu was very satisfied with the Lord of the Underworld's attitude.
In fact, Lao Niu's ascension to the Heavenly Emperor was not for the purpose of seizing power over the world, but rather to use this position of Heavenly Dao to accumulate merit and fortune, thereby attempting to attain the Primordial Dao Fruit.
Therefore, he did not have much desire for power, as long as others could obey his orders, submit to him obediently, and not cause him any trouble.
Immediately afterwards, since the Lord of the Underworld took the initiative to come and submit, the Old Ox ordered a grand banquet to be held in the Heavenly Palace and entertained him in a high-profile manner.
Meanwhile, some famous figures from the Three Mountains and Five Peaks were also invited.
Although most of these powerful beings are independent of the Heavenly Court and not subject to its jurisdiction or command, the old ox, as the new Heavenly Emperor, extended an invitation, and they also wanted to personally meet this new ruler of the Heavenly Court.
So, apart from a few who couldn't get away, all the other powerful figures who received the invitations gave Old Niu face and rushed to attend this grand feast...
The Heavenly Court was bustling with activity, but the Divine Mountain beyond the Heavens remained as serene as ever, without wind or fire.
As Du Xuan continued his cultivation, he saw celestial beings in sight.
However, before achieving the Dao of a Celestial Immortal, he still had some karmic debts to repay in the mortal world.
On that day, he took a precious sword, received Hu Le's order, and went to the mortal world to fulfill his destiny.
At this time, the human world was in the midst of a great calamity. Since he was born by the mandate of heaven, he naturally had to go to the human world, join in the great calamity, and kill his way through, thus fulfilling his own destiny...
