The two collided!

"Although the Yinsha Soul Locking Bell has shattered, it has also destroyed your Yinsha Nascent Soul! Moreover, I never intended to fight you head-on! I plan to seize your Nascent Soul, devour it, and make it food for my demonic infant!" the Yinsha Ancestor sneered.

"Hehehe! The power of the Yinsha Soul Locking Bell truly lives up to its reputation! My Nascent Soul will soon return to its peak, perhaps even surpassing my original strength to reach the realm of a first-grade True Monarch! Hehehe! HEHEHEHEHE!"

With a strange laugh, a blood-red pearl appeared beside the Yinsha Ancestor. This pearl hovered in midair, trembled slightly, and then suddenly exploded!

BOOM!

In an instant, a boundlessly evil, baleful blood energy burst forth from the pearl. This torrent of energy swept through the ruins of the Yinsha Sect. Wherever it passed, the sect members were instantly transformed into clouds of Yinsha energy, only to be enveloped and consumed by the explosive aura from the pearl!

HISS!

The Yinsha Immortal felt a chill run down her spine as the aura of the Yinsha Soul Locking Bell dissipated completely.

"HEHEHEHE! Did you think I hadn't considered the possibility of the Yinsha Soul Locking Bell shattering? I had already prepared the Myriad Ghosts Devouring Soul Formation, just waiting for you, Yinsha Immortal, to fall into the trap! Hehehe! Now that the formation is activated, none of you—not even my demonic infant—can escape! HEHEHEHE!" the Yinsha Ancestor cackled madly.

RUMBLE! RUMBLE!

In the sky above, dark clouds churned while lightning flashed and thunder roared. Bolts of purple lightning rained down from the heavens!

"Ahhhh—"

"Help!"

The entire Yinsha Sect wailed in agony.

"No! Ancestor, spare my life!"

"No!"

「A moment later...」

One after another, the disciples of the Yinsha Sect died miserably, their bodies dissolving into clouds of Yinsha energy. All the residual energy from the shattering of the Yinsha Soul Locking Bell was devoured by the baleful blood energy released from the blood-red pearl.

"HEHEHEHE! HEHEHEHE!" With cold eyes, the Yinsha Ancestor stared at the Yinsha Immortal, his lips curling into a cruel sneer. "I told you, even as the Sect Master of the Yinsha Sect at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, you will fall today! I will devour you and consume everything you have! HEHEHEHEHE!"

"Ancestor! You can't kill me, and you will never retrieve the shard of the Yinsha Soul Locking Bell! That wretched creature has already taken it away!" the Yinsha Immortal retorted with a grim laugh.

THUMP!

「The next moment...」

She collapsed to the ground as her Nascent Soul floated out from her body. The Yinsha Immortal's Nascent Soul was unlike those of the other elders, core disciples, or Inner Sect Disciples. It was even more stunningly beautiful; her appearance was utter perfection.

"Hehehe! You little beast! You killed my son! I will certainly extract your soul! I will refine you into my new Nascent Soul servant! Hehehe!" the Yinsha Ancestor snarled, his eyes red with greed as he stared at the Yinsha Immortal's Nascent Soul.

CRACK!

Suddenly, a bolt of purple lightning struck down fiercely towards the Yinsha Immortal.

"Hehehe! My demonic infant has successfully devoured your Nascent Soul! I am about to regain my freedom, no longer trapped within the Yinsha Soul Locking Bell! Hehe! You all deserve to die, every last one of you!" the Yinsha Ancestor cried, ecstatic at the sight.

However, the purple lightning did not strike the Yinsha Immortal's Nascent Soul.

「At this moment, inside the Yinsha Soul Locking Bell...」

A demonic infant was roaring at Chen Zheng. It was as ferocious as a wicked demon and seemed absolutely furious.

"You ant!"

"You lowly ant!"

"How dare you disturb my absorption of the Yinsha Immortal's Nascent Soul! You're courting death!"

HUM!

Suddenly, the Soul-Locking Bell trembled.

"Eh? The Yinsha Soul Locking Bell, how could it..." the demonic infant cried out in surprise.

WHOOSH!

「The next moment...」

The demonic infant ceased its roaring and curled into a ball, shaking violently. "Who are you!" it quivered as it asked.

"Who are you?" another voice emanated from within the Yinsha Soul Locking Bell. It was a voice filled with arrogance, imbued with the domineering spirit of one who looked down upon all living things.

"Hmph! I am the Yinsha Ancestor, the Demon Monarch of Yinsha, the Artifact Spirit of the Yinsha Soul Locking Bell! Who exactly are you, and why are you inside my bell? Could you be the reincarnation of an Ancient Demon?" After a few breaths of silence, the Yinsha Demon Monarch demanded an answer.

RUMBLE! RUMBLE!

Giant rumbles echoed between heaven and earth as the dark clouds billowed, and streaks of purple lightning struck down continuously.

"No!" the spirit shrieked. "You're not an Ancient Demon; you're an Immortal Venerable! The very same Immortal Venerable from ages past, not a reincarnation!"

"Spare me! Please, spare me! I am willing to submit to you! Please spare this dog's life! I haven't lived long enough! I still have thousands of years of life left! Please, let me go!"

「Beneath the dark clouds...」

The Yinsha Demon Monarch screamed madly, consumed by terror. It knew this fiend was too strong, far more powerful than any cultivator in the Yinsha Sect. It was terrified.

"Immortal Emperor!" Hearing the demonic infant's words, the Yinsha Immortal's mind trembled, and she hastily cried out.

The demonic infant addressed him as Immortal Emperor! Could he be the reincarnation of an Immortal Venerable? The Yinsha Immortal was dumbfounded. I can't even begin to imagine that Chen Zheng, the reincarnation of an Immortal Venerable, could possess such power! What kind of ability is this? Over three thousand people from the Yinsha Sect—everyone except me, the Sect Master, and about five hundred elders and disciples—were devoured by that Yinsha energy when the bell shattered! Yet, this man resolved the entire crisis with just a single drop of blood, extinguishing all the Yinsha energy in the sect! Such a method is unheard of, practically heaven-defying!

"Immortal Emperor?" Chen Zheng frowned slightly.

The Yinsha Immortal hastily kneeled and kowtowed to Chen Zheng. "This subordinate greets Your Majesty, the Immortal Emperor, upon your arrival at the Yinsha Sect! Your Majesty, you have finally come! Had you been half a day later, the Yinsha Sect would have surely been destroyed!"

"The Yinsha Sect would have been destroyed?" Chen Zheng looked at her and said indifferently, "Since you know I am the reincarnation of the Immortal Emperor, you should be aware of the saying: all beneath the Immortal Emperor are ants. In my eyes, your level of cultivation is no different from an ant's."

"Ah?" The Yinsha Immortal was stunned. After a few seconds of shock, she quickly lowered her head in respect. "This subordinate was wrong. Your Majesty, please quell your anger."

"Enough," Chen Zheng waved his hand, allowing her to rise. "I will give the Yinsha Ancestor a chance for redemption."

"This subordinate obeys!" the Yinsha Fairy replied hurriedly.

Chen Zheng then addressed the spirit within the bell. "I want the Yinsha Ancestor to personally slay the Yinsha Fairy!" He pointed a finger at the Yinsha Immortal's lifeless body on the ground, his voice cold and detached. "Do not disappoint me. Otherwise, I will not hesitate to reduce you to ashes."

"This subordinate understands. I will retrieve the Yinsha Soul Locking Bell now!" the Yinsha Immortal declared, immediately bowing to take her leave.

However, the Yinsha Ancestor intercepted her.

"I will devour the Yinsha Sect!" the Ancestor's voice boomed from the bell, his spiritual presence twisting with ferocity as he laughed coldly. He intended to devour the entire Yinsha Sect, consume the Yinsha Immortal's Nascent Soul, and then merge with the sect's protective formation and restrictions to finally break free from his seal. By then, he would be a true Immortal, with hopes of even breaking through to the Golden Core Realm and advancing to the Nascent Soul stage.

"Immortal Emperor, please wait a moment," the Yinsha Fairy reported respectfully, changing her tune. "This subordinate will go and make preparations. With enough sacrifices, the Yinsha Ancestor can be freed. His cultivation will increase significantly, and I'm sure Your Majesty will benefit as well, enhancing your own power!"

"Go on," Chen Zheng nodded lightly, adding casually, "Remember, do not disappoint me, or I will obliterate you, body and soul."

"This subordinate obeys your decree!" The Yinsha Fairy's body trembled as she sped away. She dared not resist, feeling only a profound chill spread through her.

The Yinsha Ancestor, however, secretly let out a sigh of relief. The entity inside the Yinsha Soul Locking Bell is still just as he was before!
