Chapter 1228: The Yin Heavenly Monarch Strikes (Second Update)
Qin Mu laughed heartily, flicking his finger, and a divine ability from the Heavenly Yin Realm shot into the headless body of Yin Jiuzun.
Immediately, rolling black soul sand surged from Yin Jiuzun’s neck, his soul directly transformed into black soul sand by Qin Mu’s Heavenly Yin divine ability.
Back when he had learned the Transformation Mystic Art from the Heavenly Yin Empress, he had comprehended various sinister and vicious divine abilities, vastly different from those of the Heavenly Yin Empress.
Now, it was merely a small test of his skills.
Qin Mu reached out to grab the small bell hanging around Yin Jiuzun’s neck. He had long sensed that there was still an enemy hidden in the shadows, and had dared not go all out. If that enemy had joined forces with Yu Wufei, he would certainly have been no match and would have been slain by the two of them.
Now that Yin Jiuzun, intent on claiming all the credit, had even killed Yu Wufei, it gave Qin Mu the perfect opportunity.
Even if Yin Jiuzun was the son of the Yin Heavenly Monarch, even if he was a master at the Lingxiao realm, even if he possessed a rare treasure like the Reincarnation Bell, at such close range, he would surely be killed in one blow!
This was the chance he seized!
In a head-on confrontation, he had a chance of victory, but it was too slim. After all, the Reincarnation Bell was extremely formidable, and he didn’t know if it had other powers.
Yin Jiuzun had repeatedly urged the Reincarnation Bell to blast Qin Mu’s soul, appearing calm and composed, but in truth, he relied too much on the Yin Heavenly Monarch’s divine weapon. If not for this bell, the Yin Heavenly Monarch’s artifact of enlightenment, he would have smashed Qin Mu to pieces, crushed his soul, and shattered his primordial spirit before approaching.
As the son of the Yin Heavenly Monarch and the Great Crown Prince of the Nether Capital, he had naturally received the Yin Heavenly Monarch’s earnest teachings. In terms of cultivation, strength, Dao techniques, and divine abilities, he far surpassed Hu Mengdie and Yu Wufei. In a direct confrontation, Qin Mu’s chance of victory was slim, but with a close-range ambush, Qin Mu was fully confident in taking his life!
Thus, it could be said that the Yin Heavenly Monarch’s Reincarnation Bell cost him his life.
Just as Qin Mu’s fingers were about to grasp the Reincarnation Bell, the small bell suddenly floated up. It was only slightly larger than a fingertip, but in the next moment, it expanded to a size of five or six zhang in diameter, with its opening facing Qin Mu.
Qin Mu’s hair stood on end, and he quickly retreated. Amidst the deafening *clang* of the bell, his clothes flew off like paper butterflies, and then his skin burst, peeling away from his body like paper butterflies as well!
Not only that, but his muscles instantly turned to ash, leaving only his skeleton!
“The Yin Heavenly Monarch!”
Qin Mu’s mind reeled. His skeletal frame continued to crash backward. *Boom!* His figure left the Void Netherworld and appeared in the Void Realm, in front of the Heavenly Court’s fortress.
The one controlling the Reincarnation Bell was certainly not Yin Jiuzun. Although Yin Jiuzun was powerful, he did not have the strength to shatter Qin Mu with a single blow.
This Reincarnation Bell was the Yin Heavenly Monarch’s artifact of enlightenment. The Yin Heavenly Monarch would surely not rest easy letting Yin Jiuzun go out to kill Qin Mu; he must have split his consciousness to control the bell.
He had not anticipated that Qin Mu would break free from the Reincarnation Bell’s reincarnation demonic sound, allowing his son to be killed by Qin Mu in one strike.
If it were merely the death of the physical body, that could be remedied—the Yin Heavenly Monarch’s Nether Capital Heavenly Gate could restore the flesh. He wouldn’t have taken the initiative to control the Reincarnation Bell to kill Qin Mu.
But Qin Mu was ruthless, using the Dao techniques and divine abilities of the Heavenly Yin Realm to directly refine Yin Jiuzun’s soul into ashes, truly enraging him to the point of taking action himself!
Qin Mu’s flesh and blood regenerated, his body rapidly recovering. Not only that, but his clothes also restored themselves.
However, as soon as he appeared in front of the Heavenly Court Divine City, he heard a earth-shattering bell ring. Yin Jiuzun’s headless body, carrying the Reincarnation Bell, also emerged from the Void Netherworld into the Void Realm, pursuing him.
Qin Mu roared, his Divine Sense Heavenly Palace leaping out from behind his head, and his supreme Divine Sense domain expanded. But in the next moment, the bell rang, and his Divine Sense domain instantly disintegrated into nothingness, and even the Divine Sense Heavenly Palace ceased to exist!
“Divine Treasure Domain!”
Qin Mu’s magical power erupted, and the Divine Treasure Domain hummed as it unfolded. The headless Yin Jiuzun raised the Reincarnation Bell high with both hands, its opening facing Qin Mu.
Around the Imperial Throne treasure, countless dazzling runes materialized, with various Netherworld, Heavenly Yin, and Creation runes spinning wildly, constantly evolving!
A vast, boundless power emanated, radiating a heart-stopping, despair-inducing fluctuation that revolved around the bell’s walls. Moreover, inside the bell, an even more terrifying fluctuation overflowed, causing space to tremble like butterfly patterns.
*Clang!*
The bell rang. Within the Divine Treasure Domain, the Four Extremes Heavens exploded, the Mystic Heaven was destroyed, the Netherworld collapsed, the Primeval Tree snapped, the stars perished, and even the Ancestral Court shattered like glass.
Qin Mu’s various Heavenly Palaces crumbled, their tiles and bricks flying, and the primordial spirit within them was directly annihilated!
The power of such an Imperial Throne treasure was truly terrifying!
Qin Mu frantically mobilized his magical power, urging the Unyielding Divine Ability. But in the next moment, the Reincarnation Bell’s power reached him directly. His clothes once again turned to ash, and his skin and flesh were all dissolved!
The blow struck by the Yin Heavenly Monarch through his son’s body was terrifying to the extreme. Even his bones flew up in the violent impact, annihilated. The entire Spiritual Embryo Divine Treasure Domain was destroyed by the Yin Heavenly Monarch with a single bell strike!
The bell’s sound took a long time to subside. Not far away, on the walls of the Heavenly Court Divine City, countless Heavenly Court divine demons and soldiers from the Beiluo Shimen fell. Despite the protective formations, they were severely injured by the shock, collapsing and vomiting divine blood.
The ripples stirred up by the bell also gradually calmed. Suddenly, with a *pat* sound, an eyeball fell from the air, rolling and bouncing a few times on the ground.
Then, the eyeball grew tiny legs and started running away at full speed.
“Still not dead?”
The Yin Heavenly Monarch’s voice came from within the bell, filled with immense rage. Yin Jiuzun’s headless body flew up, raising the bell high and charging straight toward the rapidly fleeing eyeball.
The eyeball bounced and leaped at incredible speed, growing taller as it ran. Soon, it grew a body, a head, and limbs, with the eyeball appearing on the figure’s forehead.
In this short moment, Qin Mu had even restored his clothes to normal, showing no change.
Yin Jiuzun flew over, raising the bell high, its opening facing downward, intending to trap Qin Mu inside so he had no escape.
Suddenly, Qin Mu lifted his brush and drew a door. He opened it and stepped inside, disappearing from under the bell.
The Reincarnation Bell vibrated, shattering the door. The terrifying bell sound seemed to propagate through the depths of space, with *clang, clang, clang* sounds coming from the deepest reaches, causing space to continuously explode.
Yin Jiuzun followed the bell sound, chasing at high speed. Suddenly, a door appeared on the wall of the Heavenly Court Divine City ahead. Qin Mu pushed it open and rushed out from within the wall. Behind him, a bell rang, and the wall suddenly exploded, blasted into a large hole by the sound!
Qin Mu looked up, only to see the opening of the Reincarnation Bell right in front of him. With a *clang*, he was sucked inside.
Yin Jiuzun exerted force with both arms, pressing the bell down onto the ground. His headless body paced around the bell, his arms moving like flying, striking the bell’s walls continuously with *boom, boom, boom* sounds.
The Reincarnation Bell shook violently. A dull rumble came from underground, shaking the Divine City. The Heavenly Soldiers and Generals inside were jolted and stumbled.
At that moment, Qin Mu had already arrived at the Void Netherworld, heading straight for the wall that had collapsed from the Reincarnation Bell’s shock.
