Chapter 1235: Dark Sky's Attack

Qin Mu laughed heartily, then flicked a finger, sending a divine art from the Heavenly Yin World into Yin Jiuzun's headless body.

Immediately, black soul-sand billowed from Yin Jiuzun's neck as Qin Mu's Heavenly Yin divine art instantly transformed his soul into soul-sand.

Having learned the Creation Profound Art from Heavenly Yin Empress, Qin Mu had developed various sinister and malicious divine arts, which greatly differed from those of the Heavenly Yin Empress.

Now, it was merely a minor test.

Qin Mu reached out to grab the small bell hanging from Yin Jiuzun's neck. He had long sensed another enemy hiding in the shadows and had been hesitant to exert his full strength. If that enemy had joined forces with Yu Wufei, he would surely have been defeated and killed by the two.

Now, Yin Jiuzun had deliberately sought to claim all the glory, even killing Yu Wufei, which conveniently presented Qin Mu with an opportunity.

Even if Yin Jiuzun was the son of Heavenly Emperor Yin, even if he was a formidable expert at the Numinous Sky Realm, and even if he possessed a rare treasure like the Reincarnation Bell, at such close proximity, he would surely be killed in one strike!

He was seizing this very chance!

In a direct confrontation, he might have had a chance, but it would have been very slim, as the Reincarnation Bell was incredibly powerful, and he didn't know if it possessed other abilities.

Yin Jiuzun had repeatedly activated the Reincarnation Bell to attack Qin Mu's soul, appearing composed, but in reality, he trusted Heavenly Emperor Yin's divine weapon too much. If he hadn't possessed this artifact, Heavenly Emperor Yin's Dao-establishing treasure, he would surely have smashed Qin Mu to bits, grinding his soul and shattering his primordial spirit before approaching.

As the son of Heavenly Emperor Yin and the Crown Prince of the Underworld Capital, he had naturally received meticulous instruction from Heavenly Emperor Yin. His cultivation, strength, and divine arts were far superior to those of Hu Mengdie and Yu Wufei. In a direct confrontation, Qin Mu's chances of victory were slim, but with a close-range sneak attack, Qin Mu was absolutely confident in taking his life!

Therefore, it could also be said that Heavenly Emperor Yin's Reincarnation Bell was the cause of his demise.

The moment Qin Mu's fingers were about to grasp the Reincarnation Bell, the small bell suddenly floated up. Though initially only slightly larger than a finger, in the next instant, it expanded to five or six zhang in circumference, its mouth facing Qin Mu.

Qin Mu's hair stood on end, and he rapidly retreated. He heard a thunderous clang, and his clothes scattered like paper butterflies. Then, his skin ruptured, and his entire skin was peeled off like paper butterflies!

Not only that, but his muscles also turned to dust in an instant, leaving only his bones!

"Heavenly Emperor Yin!"

Qin Mu's mind roared. Only his skeleton continued to crash backward. Boom! His body left the Emptiness Netherworld and appeared in the Emptiness Realm, in front of the Heavenly Court's mighty pass.

The one controlling the Reincarnation Bell was certainly not Yin Jiuzun. Although Yin Jiuzun was powerful, he did not possess the strength to completely shatter Qin Mu with one blow.

This Reincarnation Bell was Heavenly Emperor Yin's Dao-establishing treasure. Heavenly Emperor Yin surely wouldn't have been at ease with Yin Jiuzun going out to kill Qin Mu without splitting his own divine consciousness to control the Reincarnation Bell.

He had also not anticipated that Qin Mu would escape the Reincarnation Bell's cyclic demonic sound, leading to his son being killed by Qin Mu in one strike.

If it were merely physical death, it would have been fine; Heavenly Emperor Yin's Netherworld Capital Heavenly Gate could restore the physical body, and he wouldn't have felt compelled to personally control the Reincarnation Bell to kill Qin Mu.

But Qin Mu was ruthless. He had directly refined Yin Jiuzun's soul into dust using the Dao divine arts of the Heavenly Yin World, which truly enraged Heavenly Emperor Yin, prompting him to act personally!

Qin Mu's flesh and blood regenerated, his body rapidly recovering. Not only that, but his clothes also miraculously restored themselves.

However, as soon as he appeared in front of the Heavenly Court Divine City, he heard an earth-shattering clang of a bell. Yin Jiuzun's headless body, along with the Reincarnation Bell, also emerged from the Emptiness Netherworld into the Emptiness Realm, pursuing him.

Qin Mu roared, and his Divine Consciousness Celestial Palace leaped out from behind his head, unfolding his Supreme Divine Consciousness Domain. However, in the very next instant, a bell chime rang out, and his Divine Consciousness Domain instantly vanished into ashes, even his Divine Consciousness Celestial Palace ceased to exist!

"Divine Treasure Domain—"

Qin Mu's magical power erupted, and the Divine Treasure Domain hummed as it unfolded. He saw the headless Yin Jiuzun holding the Reincarnation Bell high, its mouth facing Qin Mu.

Around the Emperor's Throne treasure, countless dazzling runes appeared. Various Netherworld, Heavenly Yin, and Creation runes spun wildly, constantly evolving!

A vast and boundless power emanated heart-pounding and despair-inducing fluctuations, revolving around the bell's wall. Moreover, even more terrifying fluctuations overflowed from inside the great bell, making space tremble like butterfly patterns.

Clang—

The bell chimed. Within the Divine Treasure Domain, the Four Poles Heaven shattered, the Profound Capital was destroyed, the Netherworld disintegrated, the Primordial Wood broke, the stars were extinguished, and the Ancestral Court shattered like glass.

Qin Mu's Celestial Palaces flew apart, brick by broken brick, and his primordial spirits within them were directly annihilated!

The power of such an Emperor's Throne treasure was truly terrifying!

Qin Mu frantically mobilized his magical power, activating the Imperishable Divine Art. However, in the next instant, the Reincarnation Bell's power reached him directly. His clothes once again turned to dust, and his skin and flesh were completely dissolved!

The strike unleashed by Heavenly Emperor Yin through his son's physical body was truly terrifying to the extreme. Even his bones flew up and were annihilated in the violent impact. His entire Spirit Embryo Divine Treasure Domain was obliterated by Heavenly Emperor Yin's single bell chime!

The bell chime subsided after a long time. In the nearby Heavenly Court Divine City, countless Heavenly Court gods, devils, and soldiers of North Star Gate fell from the city walls. Despite the protective formation, they were severely injured by the shock, lying on the ground, spitting divine blood.

The fluctuations caused by the bell chime also gradually subsided. Suddenly, there was a plop, and an eyeball fell from the air, rolling and bouncing a few times on the ground.

Suddenly, tiny legs grew from the eyeball, and it scurried away.

"Not dead yet?"

Heavenly Emperor Yin's voice came from inside the bell, filled with immense fury. Yin Jiuzun's headless body flew up, holding the great bell high, and rushed towards the rapidly moving eyeball.

The eyeball bounced along, moving extremely fast, getting higher and higher as it ran. Soon, a body grew from it, then a head, then limbs, and the eyeball appeared on the person's glabella.

In that short time, Qin Mu even recovered his clothes as if nothing had happened.

Yin Jiuzun flew over, holding the great bell high, its mouth facing downwards, intending to trap Qin Mu inside, leaving him no escape.

Suddenly, Qin Mu picked up a brush and drew a door. He opened the door and entered, disappearing from beneath the bell.

The Reincarnation Bell vibrated, and the portal shattered. The terrifying bell chime seemed to spread into the depths of space, and continuous clangs came from the deepest parts of space, causing space to constantly explode.

Yin Jiuzun swiftly pursued the sound of the bell. Ahead, a portal suddenly appeared on the city wall of the Heavenly Court Divine City. Qin Mu pushed open the door and rushed out from within the city wall. Behind him, a bell chimed, and the city wall suddenly exploded, blasted open with a large hole!

Qin Mu looked up, directly facing the mouth of the Reincarnation Bell. With a clang, he was taken inside the bell.

Yin Jiuzun exerted strength with both arms, pressing the great bell to the ground. His headless body walked around the bell, his arms moving rapidly, pounding on the bell's wall repeatedly.

The Reincarnation Bell vibrated tremendously, and a dull sound came from underground. The Divine City shook unceasingly, and the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals within the city were thrown off balance.

At this moment, Qin Mu had already arrived in the Emptiness Netherworld, heading straight for the city wall that had collapsed due to the Reincarnation Bell.
