"Master, keep going! Don't stop!!"

Mu Jinyu's soul departed from his body, enveloping the Evil Buddha's Ancient Bell. Momentarily acting as the shattered Ancient Bell Spirit, he instantly felt an extreme agony, like being cut into a thousand pieces, reduced to mincemeat, and every part of his blood and bones pounded to dust!

Immediately, the pain contorted Mu Jinyu's face, and even the soul that covered the Evil Buddha's Ancient Bell was trembling violently, enduring an inhumane, terrifying punishment!

Mu Shao'ai and others saw this scene and instinctively wanted to stop, but Mu Jinyu gritted his teeth and forced them to continue, enduring the severe pain!

Thankfully, Yin Li was heartless; when Mu Shao'ai hesitated a bit, she didn't stop. Otherwise, they might have failed by now, and Mu Jinyu's essence blood would have been wasted!

"This..."

Mu Shao'ai hesitated, then gritted his teeth, continuing to practice cultivation, urging the almost broken Evil Buddha's Ancient Bell!

"Clang!!!"

The bell continued to toll, yet it felt exceptionally complex to everyone present. The bell's toll seemed to carry a wail of sorrow.

Wen Rou and Mei Yinxue, among others, were crying uncontrollably.

As the bell rang again, Mu Jinyu felt as if his soul had been cleansed, yet without the feeling of spiritual uplift, only the cusp of collapsing into a scattered soul!

Although the intense pain was unbearable for Mu Jinyu, he gritted his teeth and bore it, unwilling to let out a scream or cry.

So many people were watching, including his several wives; he didn't want to be laughed at or make them worry.

Despite this, there was a bit of relief in his heart. Fortunately, it worked. His soul temporarily replaced the bell's spirit, allowing the Buddhist Bell that should have shattered immediately to hold up longer.

Just ten more minutes, hang on for another ten minutes!

Then he could finally rest...

Mu Jinyu kept telling himself, gradually feeling his consciousness beginning to blur...

"Clang!!"

Mu Shao'ai, enduring the sorrow in his heart, continued to circulate his True Yuan forcefully, driving the shattered Buddhist Bell that persevered due to his disciple's soul. He felt deeply pained, as if each drive of the bell's resonance was not only pounding Mu Jinyu but also pounding his own heart!

But at this point, Mu Jinyu's soul had temporarily merged with the Evil Buddha's Ancient Bell and couldn't be forcibly separated. To prevent his disciple's sacrifice from being in vain, Mu Shao'ai had no choice but to keep urging the Evil Buddha's Ancient Bell!

"Jinyu..."

"Little Mu..."

Behind Mu Shao'ai, Wen Rou and Gu Xiyan, among other women, were crying uncontrollably. They saw the distorted appearance of Mu Jinyu's soul on the Ancient Bell and could imagine the kind of pain he was enduring!

They also understood Mu Jinyu's mind and why he made such a choice, feeling too guilty to watch the Evil Buddha's Ancient Bell collapse, taking with it the lives of billions worldwide...

Although they understood Mu Jinyu's thoughts and choices, it was hard to accept. If he perished due to the bell's urging, what would they do?

Mei Yinxue, with tear-swollen eyes, gritted her teeth and said: "Mu Jinyu, you can't die. You said you wouldn't let me down, and you would enhance my Great Emperor Sword to not lose to Jian Ruyan's. You can't fail to do what you promised..."

Gu Xiyan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, her gaze like lightning looking at Yin Li, transmitting a message: "Did you teach him this method? Is there a way to stop and let me do it?"

Yin Li continued driving the Evil Buddha's Ancient Bell, her big eyes blankly looking at Gu Xiyan, transmitting: "It can't be stopped now. If you were to come, you wouldn't have enough power. You might die in the first instant, it's meaningless..."

"You?!" Hearing Yin Li's words, Gu Xiyan learned that Mu Jinyu's method of Protecting Bell with Soul was indeed taught by Yin Li, making her wish to strangle her!

Realizing there was no way to stop, her gaze became blank; a hollow feeling filled her heart, leaving her mind blank!

"Little Mu..." Wen Rou stared blankly at Mu Jinyu on the bell, whose face was so contorted it was unrecognizable, her tears streaming down without pause. She didn't know what to do.

She didn't want to continue infusing True Yuan into Mu Shao'ai, feeling each infusion hurt him, but she didn't want Mu Jinyu's choice to go to waste, feeling deeply sad and upset...

"Clang!!"

"Clang!!"

The bell's toll continued to reverberate, spreading sweeping waves across the globe, with the bell spirit's mourning adding to the bell's sorrow, bringing tears to many who heard it.

Time passed slowly.

Soon, five minutes had passed.

In this time, the cracked Evil Buddha's Ancient Bell continued to lose fragments, making the bell increasingly broken.

Mu Shao'ai and the others grew more worried, fearing the entire bell would collapse in the next moment, shattering Mu Jinyu's soul along with it!

"Just five or six minutes left... hold on!!"

Everyone present kept repeating in their minds, watching Mu Jinyu's soul, once as solid as real, now turned thin and ethereal, with a deep sense of sadness.

They hoped Mu Jinyu could endure, but in five short minutes, his soul had nearly become a mere wisp, almost a remnant, and they knew he couldn't hold on much longer.

"Crack..."

"Bang!!"

Another fragment of the bell's body fell, immediately shattering into dust with no chance of repair!

"Buzz!!"

The Mystical Little Tree Mu Jinyu had brought out continuously poured Primordial Essence into him, stabilizing his soul whenever it was on the verge of being shattered by the bell toll.

But this came at a great price; the sapling, originally nearly three feet tall, was now only a foot high, with all the leaves withered, becoming bald and desolate...

Contributing Primordial Essence to save Mu Jinyu, it wouldn't last much longer either!

Finally, two more minutes passed.

The Mystical Little Tree collapsed, transforming into a shriveled, lifeless-looking seed.

"Buzz!"

Mu Jinyu's soul trembled once, beginning to shake as if it were about to collapse!

"Only three minutes left, why can't it hold on! Such unwillingness!!"

Seeing this, Mu Shao'ai couldn't help but shed tears, raising his head and letting out a cry of anguish!

Yin Li furrowed her brows and quickly stopped urging the bell, extending a small dragon claw to pull Mu Jinyu's shattered soul out of the Evil Buddha's Ancient Bell and back into his body.

"Crack, crack, crack..."

As Mu Jinyu's soul left, the Evil Buddha's Ancient Bell started shedding and cracking large fragments.

Yin Li messaged Sheng Rulai: "Bald monk, it's your turn!"

Long before, Yin Li had seen Mu Jinyu might not hold on for ten minutes, as he wasn't compatible with the Buddhist Bell!

Thus, she taught Sheng Rulai the method, so he'd take the place when needed.

Though his cultivation was only at the Fanxu Realm, far behind Mu Jinyu, his cultivation technique was highly compatible with the Evil Buddha's Ancient Bell, enough for one or two minutes!

Hearing Yin Li's urging, Sheng Rulai didn't hesitate, closing his eyes and sighing: "Demonic Buddhas, monstrous monks, strange monks, every voice, every word..."

"Sheng Rulai!"

With his words, Sheng Rulai's soul, like a magnificent Tathagata, emitted a lustrous glow, leaving his body in a flash, rushing towards the Evil Buddha's Ancient Bell!
