"Is this gravity pressure?!"

Xu Ran’s knees bent, and one could vaguely see black dragon shadows crawling on his back, with breaths constantly exhaling from his nose.

The breaths exhaled from his nose hovered over Xu Ran once more, like layers of mountains piling upon him, causing immense pressure.

"Crack!"

A crisp sound rang out as a crack appeared beneath Xu Ran’s feet.

"Drip, drip, drip!"

Additionally, beneath the crisp sound of the ground cracking, there were faint sounds of water droplets falling.

Looking along the sound, one could see light golden blood continuously dripping from Xu Ran’s fingertips, scorching tiny golden specks on the dim ground.

"I didn’t expect the pressure to be so great!"

Xu Ran clenched his fingers, and the blood dripping from the gaps in his fingers stopped, and he licked the blood foam at the corner of his mouth.

This was, one might say, Xu Ran’s first experience with such immense pressure.

This gravity pressure, compared to before, was on a whole different level.

He had never encountered just gravity pressure causing him injury before.

If it weren’t for his Great Success [Innate Saint’s Sacred Body], he might not have lasted so long under this gravity pressure.

After a moment of silence, Xu Ran’s eyes lit up, a determined expression appeared on his face, and his bent legs straightened slightly.

"But at this level, it’s still not enough!"

With Xu Ran’s voice, a burst of golden light suddenly erupted from his body, filling the entire interior of the bell, turning it as bright as day.

Xu Ran’s diminutive figure, under the illumination of this golden light, seemed to grow immense.

Moreover, one could clearly see that his legs, which were originally bent, were now straight, and his previously hunched back was also straightened.

"Sizzle!"

At the same time,

A sound like steam evaporating came from his back, and black mist rose, but it was quickly assimilated by the golden light and completely disappeared.

That was the breath exhaled by the black Five-Clawed Black Dragon that previously weighed on Xu Ran, and it was precisely because of this that he experienced such intense gravity pressure.

Now, the black dragon shadow that pressed on Xu Ran like Mount Tai had dissipated, and the pressure disappeared naturally.

But after all, this was the domain of the Human Emperor Bell; it couldn’t allow Xu Ran to reverse the situation.

Suddenly.

The interior walls of the bell suddenly lit up with dazzling silver light, while emitting bursts of black light, forcibly pushing back the golden light Xu Ran emitted, leaving a dark area.

Not only that.

The Five-Clawed Black Dragon depicted on the bell wall seemed to come to life, moving continuously, its blood-red eyes staring straight at Xu Ran, with tiny stars appearing in them, as if its gaze engraved Xu Ran deeply in its memory.

After all, it was he who shattered the black dragon shadow before.

Seeing this, Xu Ran’s pupils shrank, and he suddenly kicked off the ground.

"Whoosh!"

A sound of breaking through the air rang out, followed by a violent roar.

Following the sound, Xu Ran’s previous location was instantly pierced by a long spear formed by black starry light, its power strong enough to pierce through the void here.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh---"

More astral winds surged from the shattered void crack, and even though Xu Ran evaded quickly, his right arm was still cut with bone-deep slashes.

"Hmm?"

Instantly, Xu Ran felt a slight familiar sensation, making him temporarily overlook the suddenly appearing void and the black dragon mural on the bell wall glaring at him.

"Why does this aura feel kind of familiar?"

Xu Ran raised his right arm, marked by a slash, and though blood flowed profusely on it, he paid no attention, instead showing some interest.

His left fingertips dabbed on the wound, and immediately, a familiar aura appeared on his fingertips.

"Ha!"

Soon, Xu Ran sensed what it was.

"Power of Annihilation, there’s actually Power of Annihilation in this void!"

At this moment, Xu Ran couldn’t be more excited.

The Power of Annihilation is an extremely powerful offensive technique of his, but unfortunately, during the trial, he couldn’t actively mobilize Innate Qi, and the Innate Qi that diffused to his body’s surface couldn’t sustain his use of [Power of Annihilation].

This was akin to having a weapon capable of easily passing the test being sealed and unusable.

Originally, he hadn’t even thought of using [Power of Annihilation] to pass this stage.

But unexpectedly, the black dragon attack that arose from the bell wall shattered the void, and coincidentally, the void contained [Power of Annihilation].

Wasn’t this like handing him warmth?

An intangible aura danced on Xu Ran’s fingertips; this was none other than the familiar [Power of Annihilation], though it seemed a bit different.

"However!" Xu Ran retracted his smile, "This [Power of Annihilation] seems a bit different."

A strange feeling arose in his heart.

"It seems... a bit violent!"

That’s right, this [Power of Annihilation] was extremely violent; even now, when he tried to capture it, it continued to dance on his fingertips, trying to escape.

But since it had reached Xu Ran’s hands, did it even have the chance to escape?

The answer was no!

Immediately, Xu Ran clenched his fist, and the [Power of Annihilation] that kept leaping on his fingertips was now held firmly in his hand, instantly calming down, while the violent power within it was quickly cleared away by Xu Ran.

"Can’t even tell the Joker from the Joker?"

Xu Ran glanced towards the shattered void filled with tiny star lights, where there was still plenty of [Power of Annihilation].

"Was just worried about how to break this bell, and now Power of Annihilation has been delivered."

Xu Ran began to plan at this moment.

"I need to make these black dragons work, breaking more voids, collecting more [Power of Annihilation], and striking in one blow!"

He immediately sprang into action!

See Xu Ran, swiftly leaping within the bell’s interior, becoming a blur.

Meanwhile, the black dragon on the bell wall kept shooting tiny star lights at where Xu Ran appeared.

Xu Ran, to ensure the black dragon could seamlessly shoot the star lights, deliberately paused at each landing point, giving it the illusion of a perfect opportunity.

Rumbling----

The interior of the Human Emperor Bell, incessantly echoing with bombardment sounds, even the bell itself trembled continuously outside.

At this time inside the Human Emperor Bell, the initially vast space, continuously riddled by star lights being shot, each time successfully shattered a piece of space.

Xu Ran, like golden lightning, shuttled back and forth where the void appeared, reducing the [Power of Annihilation] escaping from the void with each traverse.

Until the interior of the Human Emperor Bell had no more space to bear voids, only then did the Five-Clawed Black Dragon cease emitting star lights.

Realizing the attacks stopped, Xu Ran also halted, staring questioningly at the Five-Clawed Black Dragon on the bell wall.

"Why did you stop? You haven’t hit me yet?"

Xu Ran’s tone was incredibly provoking, and even the mere mural of the Five-Clawed Black Dragon seemed to show an expression wishing to skin Xu Ran alive.

Who doesn’t want to hit him? It’s just that, the internal space couldn’t bear any more voids, and still couldn’t hit him.

Do I not want to?

The Five-Clawed Black Dragon was exasperated, emitting black fumes at its nostrils, expressing its indignation unceasingly.

"Hey!" Xu Ran, seeing the Five-Clawed Black Dragon stop, smiled and said, "You’ve stopped, so now it’s my turn!"

With that, the smile disappeared from his face, and he clenched both fists.

Buzz----

A sound of void shaking emerged, as in his clenched fists, a destruction-filled aura radiated, surrounding his entire body.

The destructive aura, growing from small to large, rippling outward.

The [Power of Annihilation] full of destructive aura vanished immediately upon touching the void.

The previously void-ridden space instantly returned to normal, the only difference being the [Power of Annihilation] on him grew stronger, surpassing the black dragon’s aura.
