Chapter 868: Elder Xin Wuhen's Soul Collapse

"Kid, hand this high-quality Spiritual Artifact to this Elder; this Elder can spare you from death."

Elder Xin Wuhen said greedily, longing to obtain this superior Spiritual Artifact at once; she saw the peculiarity of the Hunyuan Bell, which was very different from ordinary superior Spiritual Artifacts, and with his insight could see the reason at a glance.

He must get this weapon into his hands.

As for the kid before him, he cares not whether he lives or dies; the survival of the Heavenly Heart Sect is not that important to him.

Chen Chuyang heard this, spread his hands and said, "If you want it, you can take it yourself."

The Hunyuan Bell is right above; go ahead, I won't stop you.

Elder Xin Wuhen narrowed his eyes, his greedy expression unable to hide, laid bare; he raised his hand and reached toward the sky to seize, the Hunyuan Bell—he was determined to obtain it, must take this superior Spiritual Artifact.

Chen Chuyang neither blocked nor intervened, crossed his arms, and watched Elder Xin Wuhen act with his eyes wide open.

Boom.

Before that hand could approach the Hunyuan Bell in the air, the Hunyuan Bell trembled and emitted a bell tone.

The bell tone reverberated inside and outside his body; Elder Xin Wuhen's soul froze for a breath, and he suddenly realized that the massive demonic Qi hand he had gathered collapsed, shattering into countless demonic Qi, which in an instant were swallowed by the Hunyuan Bell, becoming its energy.

The Hunyuan Bell's attack was not over; a second tremor sounded, echoing on Xin Wuhen's soul. He offered no resistance, or rather, he did not realize that this bell tone targeted the soul; his soul was only a Split Soul, not a complete soul.

Crack!

The soul developed fissures; the very weak soul and body began to collapse.

The body, already in collapse and linked by demonic Qi, now sees the demonic Qi collapse, and the body continues to collapse.

At this scene, Elder Xin Wuhen's eyes turned shocked, then terrified, and he quickly stepped back, away from the center of the Hunyuan Bell.

Chen Chuyang would not let him go; a third bell tone rang.

Boom.

Each of the three bell tones was stronger and more forceful than the previous.

Elder Xin Wuhen's body froze in place, locked by the bell tone, unable to move or shift.

His soul was also confined within his flesh; all around were bell tones, all attacks of the Hunyuan Bell.

The surrounding area continuously enveloped Elder Xin Wuhen, encasing and imprisoning him.

"Hmph, such a petty soul attack trying to crush this Elder; kid, you're still too young."

Elder Xin Wuhen retorted, "I, this Elder, am not that worthless Tian Xin Dao Ren, and will not be crushed by your methods."

"I, Elder Xin Wuhen, am the Xin Wuhen Elder of the Tianwai Heavenly Heart Gate, whose status is supreme; I am not something a mere ant can shake."

He gathered boundless demonic Qi.

The two streams of demonic Qi each attacked the Hunyuan Bell and Chen Chuyang; he naturally saw that Chen Chuyang was the Hunyuan Bell's master—kill him, and the Hunyuan Bell would naturally be his.

First capture the king, then the thief.

"Kid, sink properly into the demonic Qi."

"Close your eyes, kid."

"Heavenly Demon Great Method."

"Demonic Thought."

The demonic Qi approached Chen Chuyang at such speed that it arrived before his eyes in a blink; Chen Chuyang sighed.

"I admit your demonic Qi is powerful, but approaching me is still unlikely."

He raised his hand, and thunderbolts bombarded.

"Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Finger."

"Annihilate All Beings."

With a fingertip, the demonic Qi collapsed.

Space twisted; the fingertip pierced the space and reappeared at Elder Xin Wuhen's chest, too close. Elder Xin Wuhen sensed and saw it, but his body could not evade, and his soul captured it—what could be done?

The surrounding space was sealed and frozen; his body and soul were also locked in place.

The boundless pressure of the Hunyuan Bell prevented him from evading this move.

Pfft.

Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Finger pierced his body; his demonic Qi‑charged body could not defend.

That body again developed a breach; the lightning force surged wildly into Elder Xin Wuhen's interior, producing crackling explosion sounds.

The thunder tribulation force, more terrifying than the tribulation itself, once it invades the body, cannot be removed.

Demonic Qi—this is most fearful of the tribulation.

Ah.

Elder Xin Wuhen let out a wail, and all his attacks ceased.

His body of demonic Qi was rapidly dissipating.

The same lightning he could not endure; both body and soul were tormented by the tribulation force.

The bizarre demonic Qi could not defend his body; at this moment, he could only… passively resist, yet could not resist.

Because Chen Chuyang's second attack arrived.

"Hunyuan Bell."

"Soul Vibration."

Boom.

The Hunyuan Bell trembled, and the bell tone rang again.

The maximally amplified attack shook the soul.

Targeting only Elder Xin Wuhen's soul, this move was extremely lethal.

Crack!

Elder Xin Wuhen's soul developed fissures, and then began to shatter.

"You..."

"The power of the heavenly tribulation, a soul attack—you, a mere ant, actually mastered these two divine abilities."

"Pfft."

He spat blood, and his body quickly withered.

His soul began to collapse, and his strength was rapidly draining.

He, a fifth-layer True Person Realm cultivator, could not even strike out, unable to touch Chen Chuyang at all.

The same result as Tian Xin Dao Ren—Elder Xin Wuhen couldn't believe it.

"Kid, before this elder collapses, I'll drag you down with me."

"The Heavenly Devil Grand Technique—demonic qi invades."

"Kid, follow this elder and fall into the demonic path together."

Boundless demonic qi enveloped the surroundings; Elder Xin Wuhen went completely mad, no longer defending, but seeking to drag Chen Chuyang down with him.

The demonic qi shrouded the entire space of the Hunyuan Bell, and Chen Chuyang was within it.

Those demonic qi, even a slight inhalation, could cause Chen Chuyang to fall into the demonic path.

With so much demonic qi, even if Chen Chuyang does not erupt, it will seep into his body; someday in the future it will burst forth.

That day will be when he makes his move; at that time, Elder Xin Wuhen will sense it.

"Kid, wait—on that day, this elder will personally descend; then it will be your doom."

Elder Xin Wuhen laughed hysterically, his soul and body collapsing together.

Gradually dissipating, he became part of the Hunyuan Bell.

Those demonic qi, Chen Chuyang opened his mouth and swallowed them all; most were swallowed by the Hunyuan Bell, a smaller portion by Chen Chuyang.

The demonic qi within his body was entirely transformed into his own Hunyuan true qi.

Whether demonic qi, monstrous power, or various ghostly and yin qi, Chen Chuyang could transform them all into Hunyuan true qi.

His soul completely dissipated, yet Elder Xin Wuhen's voice continued to echo in Chen Chuyang's ears.

"Tianwai, Elder Xin Wuhen, you are truly hard to kill."

"Fortunately, it was only a clone; if his true self had come, perhaps there would really be trouble."

Chen Chuyang is not afraid; even if he descends in person, Chen Chuyang will kill him.
