Chapter 0883: The Divine Axe of Creation

The Dragon Essence Strike!
The most powerful and ultimate technique of the Purple Dragon clan—a desperate last resort! By concentrating all his strength into his dragon blood to unleash the strongest strike, the Purple Dragon Patriarch intended to break through the blockade of the Chaos Bell and escape.
Now, he no longer harbored any ambitions of killing or seizing treasures; all he wanted was to survive.
Golden dragon blood gathered together and was hurled at the starry sky in a powerful strike. Storms resembling nebulae formed, causing the entire starry sky to shake violently, on the verge of collapsing.
Seeing this, the Yellow Dragon was shocked. He quickly opened his mouth and spat out a pool of vital blood, which merged into the Chaos Bell.
After absorbing the Yellow Dragon’s vital blood, the “Bell Emperor” within the Chaos Bell grew immensely powerful. Pools of star energy condensed around its body to extreme levels, making the Chaos Bell shine brilliantly as the star array activated abruptly.
The starry sky, which was about to collapse, began to stabilize!
Seizing the opportunity, the Yellow Dragon transformed the Heavenly Sacred Cauldron into a formation of three thousand Hongmeng Divine Beasts, surrounding the Purple Dragon Patriarch’s massive dragon body. A huge Hongmeng Chaos Vortex was formed, squeezing the Purple Dragon Patriarch from all sides.
At the same time, the Yellow Dragon raised his hands. The starry sky vanished, and the Chaos Bell, like a giant mountain, crashed down on the Purple Dragon Patriarch at the center of the vortex.
The Purple Dragon Patriarch looked up and saw the Chaos Bell descending. A sense of death filled his heart, and panic and despair flashed in his eyes.
“No! I have practiced for countless eras and survived four great destructions of the world. I will not die! I cannot die!” he cried in terror and despair.
“Under the laws of heaven, only sages are immortal. You won’t die?” the Yellow Dragon sneered, urging the Chaos Bell to strike even harder, drowning out the Purple Dragon Patriarch’s cries.
If the Purple Dragon Patriarch had used the “Dragon Essence Strike” from the beginning, he might have broken through the starry sky and escaped. But after being struck twice by the Heavenly Sacred Cauldron, his body was severely damaged, greatly reducing his strength. As a result, the power of the “Dragon Essence Strike” diminished, and he could no longer break through the blockade of the Chaos Bell.
Trapped in the Hongmeng Chaos Vortex with no way to escape, the Purple Dragon Patriarch was obliterated by the full-force strike of the Chaos Bell, his dragon body reduced to pieces. His body twitched a few times before coming completely still.
The Yellow Dragon stored him in the Heavenly Sacred Cauldron.
“Tsk tsk, if I could devour that bell cover, I feel my strength could return to 60% of its peak!” At that moment, the spirit of the Chaos Bell, the “Bell Emperor,” stared fervently at the bell cover floating in the starry sky. It was the great divine artifact used by the Purple Dragon Patriarch earlier.

“Only 60% of my peak strength restored?!” Huang Long was frustrated. He had thought that after the Chaos Bell devoured this Great Path artifact, he would regain 80% of his peak strength, but it turned out to be only 60%!
“Recovering to 60% is already quite good. However, if I could devour and refine another dozen such Great Path artifacts, perhaps I could regain my peak strength from back then!” said the Bell Emperor.
“Another dozen?!”, Huang Long was almost stunned. “Do you think Great Path artifacts are something that can be obtained as many as you want?!”
Each Great Path artifact is incredibly precious, even rarer than half-saint bones or royal-grade spirit veins.
The Bell Emperor smiled and said, “Of course, I don’t necessarily need another dozen. If I can devour the 26th-ranked Heavenly Witch Bell, I can still regain my peak strength, and might even surpass it!”
The 26th-ranked Heavenly Witch Bell?! A sacred-grade Great Path artifact?! Looking at the Bell Emperor’s sneer, Huang Long felt an urge to strangle him.
That Heavenly Witch Bell was the sacred artifact that sustained the Heavenly Witch World. In the hands of the Heavenly Witch Saint Lord, even if Huang Long had ten thousand times the courage, he wouldn’t dare to go to the Heavenly Witch World and try to take it from the Saint Lord!
The Heavenly Witch World ranked ninth, right after the Pangu World.
From what Huang Long knew, the Heavenly Witch Saint Lord was also at the Hunyuan He Dao realm, just like Hongjun, but his overall strength was likely weaker than Hongjun’s.
“You say that after devouring enough Great Path artifacts to regain your peak strength, you can still improve further?” Suddenly, Huang Long had an idea and asked.
The Bell Emperor nodded. “Exactly. In fact, our Great Path artifacts, like cultivators, can continuously enhance their strength. Cultivators improve by absorbing vital energy, laws, and comprehending different realms, while we can improve by absorbing the laws of the Great Path and devouring other Great Path artifacts!”
Huang Long was shocked. This was the first time he had heard that a sacred-grade Great Path artifact like the Chaos Bell could enhance its strength by devouring other such artifacts!
“Then if you devour the Taiji Diagram and the Pangu Banner, will they recombine into the Axe of Creation once again?!” Huang Long suddenly thought of a very important question.
Back then, Pangu used the Axe of Creation to create the Pangu World. Later, for some reason, the axe split—its body became the Chaos Bell, its handle became the Taiji Diagram, and its blade became the Pangu Banner.
The Chaos Bell, the Taiji Diagram, and the Pangu Banner—the three greatest treasures of the Pangu World!
It was said that the Chaos Bell could suppress three thousand worlds and countless demons in the primordial era, while the Taiji Diagram could control earth, water, fire, and wind, and the Pangu Banner could break through all chaos.

The three supreme treasures each possess immense power. On the List of Great Divine Artefacts, the Chaos Bell ranks twelfth, the Taiji Diagram thirteenth, and the Pangu Banner fourteenth! If these three divine artefacts were to merge again, could they form the Axe of Creation once more?! The Bell Emperor pondered for a while before shaking his head and saying, “I don’t know. Back then, the Axe of Creation ranked only below the World Tree. After Sage Pangu created the Pangu World, it somehow disappeared. The Axe of Creation shattered and split into me, the Taiji Diagram, and the Pangu Banner. Of course, if I were to devour the Taiji Diagram and the Pangu Banner, I could surely make it into the top three!” Huang Long nodded. Back then, on the List of Great Divine Artefacts, the World Tree ranked first, the Axe of Creation second, and the Wheel of Heavenly Dao third! That Wheel of Heavenly Dao was the divine artefact of the Supreme Sage of the Central World, that is, the current number one sage among the three thousand great worlds of the universe! “Wheel of Heavenly Dao? Hmph, does this Central Supreme Sage think he can control the laws of heaven?” Huang Long sneered. Although this Central Supreme Sage was the number one sage in the three thousand great worlds of the universe, naming his divine artefact the Wheel of Heavenly Dao, implying that he controls even the laws of heaven, was far too arrogant! After a while, Huang Long returned from his thoughts. With a wave of his hand, he caused the Bell-Shrouding Great Divine Artefact to be devoured by the Bell Emperor. The Bell Emperor happily accepted it and then entered the Chaos Bell to refine it. “By killing the Purple Dragon Dharma King and his three subordinates, whose life force, essence, and the laws of the great way can help me advance to what extent?!” Huang Long thought to himself. “However, now that the Purple Dragon Dharma King is dead, the Ancestral Phantom Light will soon find out. It seems I need to leave the Nine Heavens Divine Realm first!” Huang Long continued to think.
