Chapter 865: Tian Xin Dao Ren Dies, the Hidden Mastermind

The Hunyuan Bell hovered in the sky, its massive jet‑black mouth facing Tian Xin Dao Ren, and all the black Qi was instantly enveloped.

The powerful suction burst from within the Hunyuan Bell, devouring the demonic Qi that shrouded the heavens above the Heavenly Heart Sect; those demonic Qi were swallowed.

The suction continued to engulf Tian Xin Dao Ren, attempting to swallow him as well.

Tian Xin Dao Ren strained to steady his form, gripping the earth fiercely so his body would not soar nor be swallowed by the Hunyuan Bell; his mind raced wildly, seeking a way to neutralize the suction and disperse it as much as possible.

The demonic Qi coalesced into a mass, forming a gigantic palm that struck at the Hunyuan Bell.

"Demonic Qi as hand, heaven and earth perish."

"Demonic Qi does not extinguish the hand."

The palm, massive and imbued with boundless demonic Qi, pressed down with terrifying divine power toward the Hunyuan Bell, but the Bell remained unmoved; the immense suction shattered the palm, and the demonic Qi was instantly swallowed, all of it.

It could no longer form a palm, nor… act; seeing this, Tian Xin Dao Ren's body shivered, the demonic Qi surrounding his body was swallowed completely, and the demonic Qi within him rapidly dissipated, unable to be steadied.

Tian Xin Dao Ren gritted his teeth to support his body, his feet sinking deep into the ground; countless demonic Qi rooted into the earth to resist the Hunyuan Bell's suction, yet Chen Chuyang would not let him escape—anyone targeted by his Hunyuan Bell could not flee easily.

"Hunyuan Bell, rotate."

"Suction."

With Chen Chuyang's backing, Hunyuan True Qi was poured into the Hunyuan Bell; Tian Xin Dao Ren's body jolted, the demonic Qi shattered, the demonic Qi rooted in the earth collapsed one by one, unable to support his body, no longer able… to endure.

His body, together with the earth, rose upward, unable… as before, to root in the ground.

The Hunyuan Bell also sucked the earth away, and the onlookers were stunned by the scene.

Heishanyang stared at that Hunyuan Bell, his body trembling, his eyes flashing with wild light.

"That very Bell, indeed, Chen Chuyang this kid hides a great secret; this Bell is not an ordinary Spiritual Artifact but a top‑grade Spiritual Artifact."

"

"This kid hides well; once this Bell is released, no matter how skillfully Tian Xin Dao Ren leaps, he will eventually fall."

When a top‑grade Spiritual Artifact appears, who can resist?

This world is inherently weak; a top‑grade Spiritual Artifact is not something this world should have, nor can it arise here.

Even a single Spiritual Artifact is already extremely rare, its power limitless.

Mid‑grade Spiritual Artifacts are pitifully scarce in this world, virtually unseen; even a sect like the Heavenly Heart Sect, rooted for millennia, may not possess one.

Top‑grade Spiritual Artifacts are even rarer, even… more coveted.

That thing's power is boundless.

Heishanyang's body quivered with excitement; if that Hunyuan Bell advanced one more step, it would become a Holy Artifact.

In its eyes, the Hunyuan Bell possesses that potential, and also that… possibility.

Even the mere possibility is already defiant of destiny; sooner or later it will reach that stage.

Chen Chuyang kept this move hidden, shocking Heishanyang; the kid had long planned this tactic, using the Hunyuan Bell to swallow all demonic Qi, completely shattering Tian Xin Dao Ren's reliance. No matter how potent or bizarre the demonic Qi, faced with the Bell's seal, it cannot escape.

The Hunyuan Bell sealed the surroundings, sealing Tian Xin Dao Ren; whether body, demonic Qi, or even soul, without Chen Chuyang's permission, it cannot depart.

Tianlian Zhenren squinted, exclaiming in shock: "A top‑grade Spiritual Artifact, and this person actually hides one; senior brother, he is doomed."

"That's fine then; the corrupted senior brother's methods are bizarre, but if he wishes to flee, he still can."

"Seal his retreat, then crush him with a shock."

Chen Chuyang either does not act, or directly takes your life.

Even if it means exposing the existence of the Hunyuan Bell, he does not mind.

"This person truly is cautious."

Perhaps that's for the best; Chen Chuyang slew the senior brother, avenging the deceased disciples of the Heavenly Heart Sect.

That senior brother is no longer her senior brother; his death is fine.

White Deer King stared in horror at the power radiating from that Hunyuan Bell, his body trembling, his blood veins suppressed.

That feeling, he had never experienced before.

"A top‑grade Spiritual Artifact, not an ordinary one—did he forge it?"

"Chen Chuyang harbors many secrets; alchemy, artifact forging, formations, even cultivation—he masters them all. How old is he? To master so much is unlikely, unless…"

White Deer King considered a possibility: Chen Chuyang is not of this world; an ancient monster from Tianwai possessed Chen Chuyang, or perhaps was reborn in this world, and then…

Beyond this possibility, he could think of no other.

There are geniuses, but a person of such genius does not exist.

He does not believe such a genius exists; if it's merely that his cultivation defies destiny, White Deer King can understand.

Alchemy, artifact forging, or formations all require insight and vast time to comprehend; Chen Chuyang lacks all of these.

Xinran Zhanglao's eyes also fixed on Chen Chuyang; that person did not act, merely used a Hunyuan Bell, and that Bell shocked Xinran Zhanglao. She knows Chen Chuyang's artifact‑forging skill is great, yet when she saw the top‑grade Spiritual Artifact, she couldn't help inhaling a gasp of cold air.

"Chen Chuyang remains so defiant of destiny; his artifact‑forging skill grows ever more outrageous."

"If he acts, Tian Xin Dao Ren faces death without a chance of survival."

Inwardly, she let out a sigh of relief, yet dared not become too relaxed.

She knows how hard Tian Xin Dao Ren is to deal with; he is an ancient monster capable of advancing to true destiny at any moment, a genuine ancient monster.

Jing Yuheng's eyes flashed with brilliance; within them were only Chen Chuyang's figure.

That person is invincible.

When he acts, there will be no problem at all.

Yin Gui Zhenren lowered his head to ponder, staring at Chen Chuyang, then glancing at the Hunyuan Bell, and internally praised, "I have still underestimated him, Chen Chuyang."

"Buzz."

Tian Xin Dao Ren was swallowed by the Hunyuan Bell, all demonic Qi vanished together.

The surroundings gradually became exposed.

The ground of the Heavenly Heart Sect had long been corroded by demonic Qi.

Withered all around, deathly qi hangs heavy.

The Hunyuan Bell rotates, shrinking.

Vibrations keep appearing, bursting out waves of bell sounds.

"Boom."

Each time the bell's sound vibrates, a surge of spiritual qi erupts.

Everyone's hearts and minds tremble, returning to their true forms.

Those confused by demonic qi, at this moment, all return.

Chen Chuyang gazed at the Hunyuan Bell; after several successive vibrations, he could not erase Tian Xin Dao Ren.

Inside the Hunyuan Bell, the demonic qi on Tian Xin Dao Ren's body dissipates; after several vibrations, his body, his soul, his demonic qi begin to gradually dissipate.

The dissipation is swift; the Hunyuan Bell's boundless suction keeps him from stabilizing his form.

Demonic qi, half has dissipated.

The soul is what matters most; Chen Chuyang strikes the Hunyuan Bell.

"Boom."

"No."

Tian Xin Dao Ren's soul shows a crack.
