Chapter 145: The Origins of the Human Fiend and Acquiring the Myriad Dragon Bell

The thin and emaciated old man inside the divine source was bare-chested, with a piece of animal skin wrapped around his lower body. Beside him lay a bone club stained with specks of blood.

Upon seeing the emaciated old man sealed within the divine source, the Great Saint of the Gilded Dragon Nest, who had always maintained his composure, instantly revealed a monstrous intent to kill!

However, to prevent Chen Xing and the others from escaping, the senior Great Saint still wielded the imperial weapon to suppress space and time. He shouted furiously at Great Saint Qianlun and the others, "Kill them all for me, leave none alive!" His voice was incomparably cold.

The two acknowledged the order and wasted no time, charging toward Chen Xing and his companions with boundless saintly pressure!

In an instant, strange phenomena filled the sky. Countless ancient surviving races seemed to be praying and sacrificing to sages in the space-time continuum! Boundless power of faith condensed and merged into the attacks of the two Great Saints, possessing unfathomable might, as if they wished to sever the heavens!

Seeing this, Chen Xing paid no heed to their impending approach. With a flick of his fingers, the divine source was sliced open, and a wisp of black-and-white energy shot from his fingertips into the primordial spirit of the emaciated old man.

All of this took a long time to describe, but it happened in the blink of an eye. Just as the offensive might of the two Great Saints from the Gilded Dragon Nest was about to descend upon them, the emaciated old man, whose eyes had been tightly closed, abruptly opened them!

The moment the emaciated old man opened his eyes, two terrifying auras of Yin and Yang suddenly rose between heaven and earth, rotating and alternating! At this moment, it felt as if the sun and the moon had both descended into the mortal world together!

The terrifying attacks unleashed by the two Great Saints of the Gilded Dragon Nest were instantly and completely obliterated under the might of this rotating Yin and Yang force!

Great Saint Qianlun and Great Saint Longyuan were even blasted flying by this force of Yin and Yang, coughing up mouthfuls of blood as they slumped limply to the ground, utterly debilitated.

"This is impossible! We are both in the realm of the Great Saint, Human Fiend, how did you achieve this?"

Seeing the scene before him, the senior Great Saint roared like a madman, his aura somewhat unstable. The imperial weapon in his hand also vibrated violently, and it seemed the spatial confinement was about to vanish!

"You old dragon are actually still alive? Not bad! Not bad! Looks like I'll have some dragon meat to eat later!" At that moment, a hoarse voice rang out.

Only to see the emaciated old man, who had previously been lying on the ground, slowly sit up. Casually picking up the bone club from the ground, he looked at the senior Great Saint with eyes full of hunger!

The senior Great Saint felt a chill run through his entire body as he was looked at by him. Thinking of all the wicked deeds this fellow had committed in the past, he even felt the urge to turn around and flee!

In the Primeval Era, there was once a rumor that whoever could simultaneously cultivate the *Taisu Scripture* of the Primordial Yin Emperor and the *Taiji Scripture* of the Primordial Sun Holy Emperor could become the supreme emperor!

Ever since then, a ballad had been passed down through the ages: Yin and Sun, who is weak, who is strong? When Yin and Yang merge as one, to reign supreme across the cosmos!

At that time, no one knew where the Human Fiend had come from. It was only rumored that by sheer coincidence, he had obtained these two scriptures and practiced them together, attempting to become the supreme emperor!

Regrettably, his fortune ultimately failed him. During his cultivation, he was unable to fuse Yin and Yang together, resulting in a disastrous deviation in his cultivation that nearly shattered his body and dissolved his Dao.

If it were any other cultivator, under such circumstances, they would likely have perished in body and soul. Yet this fellow had stubbornly endured it, turning into a bizarre entity who was a saint by day and a demon by night! Moreover, his mind alternated between clarity and madness!

However, for some unknown reason, ever since his deviation, he was compelled to consume members of the ancient races at every meal, even when in a state of madness!

During that period of time, the myriad ancient races were thrown into a bloody storm, and countless ancient creatures were slaughtered and eaten by him! For a time, everyone felt deeply imperiled, and countless members of the ancient races dubbed this fellow the 'Human Fiend.' Many powerful ancient clans had once joined forces, attempting to kill him.

Regrettably, although the Human Fiend had not achieved the status of supreme emperor, his cultivation remained lofty and peerless. Many ancient clans that sought to kill him ultimately died by his hands, meeting the end of being eaten by him!

Later on, the Gilded Dragon Nest rallied several royal clans to launch an unyielding, relentless encirclement and suppression campaign against the Human Fiend, but in the end, he still managed to break through their siege! And the senior Great Saint of the Gilded Dragon Nest at that time was also severely wounded by the Human Fiend in that battle, almost dying!

It was not until later, when drastic changes occurred among the ancient race and the myriad ancient clans completely sealed themselves away, that this matter finally came to an end.

Because the Human Fiend worried that he would bring disaster to the human race when he went mad, he sealed himself away. Yet the location he chose to seal himself was right within the Gilded Dragon Nest!

The senior Great Saint of the Gilded Dragon Nest would never have imagined that as endless years passed, the very first time he awoke, he would encounter this fellow who struck fear into the hearts of countless ancient creatures!

As his emotions gradually calmed, the senior Great Saint sneered and said, "So what if you broke out of your seal? Although my injuries have not fully healed, with the imperial weapon, the Gilded Dragon Bell, in my hand, I am fully capable of slaying you!!"

Mockery appeared in the eyes of the Human Fiend. He shook his head and said, "Do you still not understand even now?"

Hearing this, the senior Great Saint was slightly startled and blurted out, "Understand what!"

Ignoring him, the Human Fiend turned to Chen Xing, cupped his fists, and said, "Thank you, Senior, for saving my life!" With that, he bowed deeply.

Chen Xing nodded slightly, saying nothing in response!

Seeing this, the senior Great Saint of the Gilded Dragon Nest could not help but mock derisively, "I see you've been sealed for too long and your brain has finally broken! To actually bow to a mere junior? You falsely bear the name of the Primordial Human Fiend!"

After straightening his posture, the old man Human Fiend faced the senior Great Saint of the Gilded Dragon Nest and sneered, "Do you know why you are still alive right now?"

The senior Great Saint also sneered upon hearing this, saying, "What, do you think you alone can slay me when I wield an imperial weapon?"

The Human Fiend gave a light laugh without answering his question. Instead, he turned to Chen Xing and smiled, "I must ask Senior to take away his imperial weapon. The rest can be left to this old man, without troubling Senior!"

Chen Xing did not say much upon hearing this. He nodded, reached out one palm, and made a beckoning gesture.

The senior Great Saint, who was currently using the imperial weapon, the Gilded Dragon Bell, to seal the local space, suddenly felt the imperial weapon in his hand slip out of his control. In an instant, it retracted all the imperial might it had been emitting! Amidst a violent vibration, the imperial weapon flew right out of the senior Great Saint's hand and soared toward Chen Xing's palm!

Chen Xing reached out and caught the flying Gilded Dragon Bell, brushing his palm across its surface. A flash of purple halo flickered over the bell, directly erasing the imprint left inside by the Gilded Dragon Emperor, transforming it into a delicate string of bell bracelets!

Chen Xing nodded with satisfaction, casually slipping it onto little Chen Chen's wrist, and smiled, "Alright, I gave little Nannan a hat before, now I'll give you a bracelet, just the right fit!"

The little one looked at the bracelet on her wrist with boundless joy, and began to play happily with little Nannan!

No one knew that deep within the Primordial Divine Mine, in a certain secret realm, a terrifying entity sealed within the divine source liquid suddenly opened its eyes. A majestic and tremendous voice resounded through the secret realm:

"Who is it! Who erased my imprint within the Gilded Dragon Bell? When I emerge into the world, I will surely settle this score with you!" The voice gradually grew fainter until it returned to absolute calm once more.

At this moment, the several Great Saints of the Gilded Dragon Nest stood frozen in place, neither flying into a rage nor stepping forward to fight Chen Xing to the death!

After a long while, the senior Great Saint of the Gilded Dragon Nest suddenly let out a bitter laugh and said, "Human Fiend! What you said earlier, I understand now! The reason I am still alive is simply because this Senior disdains to kill me!"

The old man Human Fiend nodded with a beaming smile, saying nothing!

"To think I have lived through endless years, only to be utterly blind today! This Senior must be a supreme Emperor in the flesh, right?" The senior Great Saint cast a deep look at Chen Xing, cupped his fists, and asked.

The Human Fiend could not help laughing out loud: "You think a Great Emperor could have resolved my cultivation deviation?"

The senior Great Saint's body shook violently, monstrous waves churning in his heart. Not a Great Emperor! Then could he possibly be...

That was right! If not for that kind of existence, how could he have so effortlessly taken away a Great Emperor's personal weapon? It seemed he had still underestimated others after all!

After all, having lived through endless years, the senior Great Saint soon calmed his mind, though his face remained utterly bitter!

Suddenly, the senior Great Saint struck out with his palm, directly reducing the Gilded Dragon Nest saint who had been standing stupidly to ashes!

Immediately turning around, he once again bowed to Chen Xing and said, "This person offended Senior, a crime that cannot be forgiven. I, your junior, have taken the liberty to punish him on your behalf. I pray Senior will forgive me!"

By this time, the senior Great Saint had long since harbored a bone-deep hatred for that junior. If not for him bringing the intelligence, would he have ventured out over some so-called immortal artifact, let alone had his clan's suppressing imperial weapon taken away by another?

Chen Xing nodded noncommittally, uttering not a single word.

The Human Fiend sneered, "Old fellow, you surely don't think this settles it, do you?"

A flash of anger crossed the eyes of the Gilded Dragon Nest's senior Great Saint, and he spoke coldly, "Today, you and I must settle our scores. There is no need for you to be in such a rush!"
