But now, for some unknown reason, that Power of Annihilation leaking out from the void actually disappeared directly.

Not only that, even that extremely violent Power of Annihilation, which even the Human Emperor Bell could not easily control, couldn’t achieve this.

But at this moment.

This child who is not even two years old actually managed it!!

Even it, the Human Emperor Bell that had once spent its Source to repair the void of the Origin Realm, felt a sense of defeat for the first time.

Moreover, back then, in order to patch up the void that had appeared in the Origin Realm, it had specially gone to the Nether Abyss and mortgaged itself to the Nether Abyss, only then winning a sliver of opportunity.

Fortunately, the others and the other things did not betray its sacrifice.

At this moment.

The Five-Clawed Black Dragon on the bell wall seemed to have completely come to life; its graceful form kept roaming about on the bell wall, and with every slight movement, the gravity pressure on Xu Ran increased by another degree.

But even so, even as the gravity pressure kept increasing, it had absolutely no effect on Xu Ran.

"The gravity doubled again!"

Right now, Xu Ran’s body was radiating waves of golden light; his fists were clenched tight, and the Power of Annihilation within them kept leaking out from his fists.

He raised his head, looked at the Five-Clawed Black Dragon on the bell wall that was glowing with a blood-red light, and curled his lips into a grin.

"That’s all you’ve got?"

At this moment, the Power of Annihilation in Xu Ran’s clenched fists could no longer be contained.

Xu Ran’s body suddenly burst out with a blinding golden radiance, and a roar like surging rivers and seas echoed from within his body.

Rumble——

Suddenly.

A series of booming sounds came from within the Human Emperor Bell. Following the sound, one could see golden light constantly leaking out from Xu Ran’s body at this moment.

The sound just now had come from inside Xu Ran’s body!

The Five-Clawed Black Dragon, who didn’t know the truth, simply couldn’t imagine why such violent booming noise would come from the body of a child.

But in the next instant, it understood why.

"Dong!"

After the booming ended, a golden ripple spread out from within Xu Ran’s body like ripples on water, smashing heavily onto the bell wall, immediately producing a deep, muffled bell toll.

This bell toll sounded as if it had been left there for endless ages, forgotten by all.

"Huff!"

The Five-Clawed Black Dragon on the bell wall stared at that golden ripple which had slammed into the bell wall and instantly sensed something wrong.

It could clearly perceive that within this golden ripple, there existed something extremely familiar and extremely dreaded!

"Power of Annihilation!"

These four words rose in the heart of the Five-Clawed Black Dragon!

This Five-Clawed Black Dragon was equivalent to the incarnation of the Human Emperor Bell’s interior; it clearly knew everything that happened inside.

The Human Emperor Bell had once entered the void to perform repairs, so it was naturally very familiar with the Power of Annihilation, and it also knew just how terrifying this Power of Annihilation truly was.

Yet such a terrifying existence was actually being controlled in the hands of a child less than two years old!

"During the time I was controlled by the Nether Abyss, has such a terrifying child already appeared in the Origin Realm?"

The Five-Clawed Black Dragon calculated in its heart, then let out a disdainful snort.

"This black color from the Nether Abyss is really ugly; wasn’t the original golden Five-Clawed form much better-looking?"

Just as the Five-Clawed Black Dragon finished its gripe.

The golden ripple infused with the Power of Annihilation had already spread all over the bell wall and began to violently tremble. The murals on the bell wall fled madly as if they’d encountered their greatest enemy.

At the same time, Xu Ran’s clenched fists also opened up at this moment; that Power of Annihilation he’d previously collected from the void erupted instantly.

The Golden Spiritual Qi in his body surged unceasingly. On the surface of his body, thin golden lines flowed about, as if what coursed through him was not blood, but Golden Spiritual Qi.

"For me—"

Xu Ran drew his right fist back; dragon-scale-like patterns emerged along his entire arm. The originally dark space seemed unable to bear this Power, and fine black cracks began to appear.

"Break!!!"

As soon as the words fell, Xu Ran’s figure vanished from where he’d stood. When he appeared again, his right fist had already reached the bell wall.

At the instant his fist edge touched the bell wall, time seemed to freeze; countless scenes flashed before Xu Ran’s eyes, as if everything the Human Emperor Bell had experienced before was extremely vivid...

"Crack!"

Before the images could fully manifest, a faint shattering sound rang out, followed by a roar like mountains collapsing and tsunamis crashing.

The Human Emperor Bell, known as the most indestructible object in the Origin Realm, began to collapse. The murals on the bell wall kept falling away, and finally, under Xu Ran’s right fist, turned into smoke and dispersed.

Outside the Human Emperor Bell.

"Crack!"

As Xu Ran’s right fist shattered the interior of the Human Emperor Bell, cracks also appeared on the outer surface of the bell, like a spiderweb, spreading rapidly across the entire bell body.

In just an instant, cracks covered the whole Human Emperor Bell.

"Crack!!"

In the end, with a crisp shattering sound, the Human Emperor Bell, wreathed in black mist, completely broke apart in front of the Five Elements Puppets and all the Soul Bodies.

"Buzz!"

The light curtain on the Ancient Bronze Gate, which had been quiet, appeared again at this moment. The Human Emperor Bell that had turned into black mist was once more sucked into it.

At this time, the Gold Attribute Puppet was floating in mid-air; however, the white light on its body had completely dimmed, with no light remaining.

Xu Ran looked up and said blandly, "As expected, if you crush the things that appear from the Ancient Bronze Gate three times, the Gold Attribute Puppet will collapse directly!"

Under his gaze, the Gold Attribute Puppet likewise turned into dust and vanished in the Dueling Arena.

Not only the Gold Attribute Puppet, but the Ancient Bronze Gate as well; it was sucked back by the Gold Attribute background and completely disappeared.

But in the next moment, the Gold Attribute Puppet appeared again among the Five Elements Puppets, as if nothing had happened previously.

"Tap!"

Just then, the earliest appearing Wood Attribute Puppet stepped forward; it wanted to begin another cycle of Reincarnation.

The other Puppets, seeing this, simultaneously stepped back, wanting to leave and to hand the trial field over to the Wood Attribute Puppet and Xu Ran.

"Trying to run?"

Xu Ran let out a cold laugh, his figure disappearing from where he stood in an instant, reappearing in front of the Five Elements Puppets. He had no intention of letting the other four Puppets leave.

The Soul Bodies outside the Dueling Arena saw Xu Ran suddenly make such a move. They hadn’t yet recovered from the sight of the Human Emperor Bell shattering earlier, and now Xu Ran’s actions left them even more baffled.

"What is he trying to do? One versus three?"

The Junior Sister exclaimed aloud.

"Even if this newcomer can handle each Attribute Puppet, to face five at the same time, the Energy consumption would be enormous. It’s impossible to completely drain the Energy of the Five Elements Attribute background!"

The Second Senior Brother had also begun his analysis at this moment.

In this trial, the Five Elements Puppets were not the main point. The most important thing was to deplete the Energy in the Five Elements background.

Only by completely exhausting the Energy in the Five Elements background could one successfully clear the stage.

If Xu Ran wanted to fight five at once like this, the consumption would only be greater, and that would make it even harder to pass!

Among those present, only the Senior Brother had gone through this stage.

His cold gaze was fixed on Xu Ran; light flickered in his eyes, revealing a thoughtful expression.

"Could it be... is it really like this?"

He murmured in his heart.

It was as if Xu Ran had found the method to clear the trial!

While all the Soul Bodies were feeling confused, Xu Ran’s voice came from the mirror.

"As long as I defeat all five of you Puppets at the same time, I’ll be able to pass this trial stage, right!!"

Xu Ran’s tone was overflowing with confidence, as if this was exactly the way to clear the stage.

"Senior Brother, is it true?"

The Junior Sister asked the Senior Brother at this moment.

The addressed Senior Brother shook his head. "I don’t know!!"

This was the first time the Senior Brother had said the three words "I don’t know"!

"When I took this trial before, I didn’t even dare consider that possibility. Facing just one Puppet was already extremely troublesome, and I also had to conserve Spiritual Qi to destroy more Rebirth Puppets. Under those conditions, it became even more impossible to think of defeating them all at once!"
