Qingfeng Li thought for a moment. Ending the transmission with the Dark Night Emperor, he began to communicate with the Black-White Millstone. "Right now," he told it, "there is a Saint level spiritual Dharma treasure outside. It's about to attack me. You have to defend against its attack for me from within my mind-s.p.a.ce. Otherwise, if my spirit energy perishes, there will be no place for you to hide either."

Hearing this, the Black-White Millstone gave a little shake, apparently agreeing to Qingfeng Li's request.

Sensing the Black-White Millstone's movement, Qingfeng Li's eyes lit up. He knew that his greatest ally was the Black-White Millstone. As long as it agree to help, he'd be completely alright.

Lifting a hand, Qingfeng Li pointed at the Sky-Breaking Monarch with a haughty expression. "Stop yapping," he said. "Hurry up and use your Saint level Dharma treasure to attack me. I'll stand right here, and I definitely won't move. If I do, I'll admit defeat."

The Sky-Breaking Monarch roared in laughter, a hint of killing intent surfacing in his eyes. "Since you're in such a hurry to die, let me give you a hand!"

The Sky-Breaking Monarch mobilized the spirit energy in his mind-s.p.a.ce and poured it into the Heavenly Saint Bells. Then, he suddenly shook the three bells with his right hand. The movement made the metallic b.a.l.l.s inside the bells collide with the metal surrounding them, emitting a crisp ringing sound.

Ding, ding, ding…

The three Heavenly Saint Bells emitted wave after wave of piercing peals. The sound was like the enraged howls of an reawakening Ancient Saint.

The moment the sounds rang out, the dimensional barrier exploded before them. Although it was only spiritual energy, it was still more than the void could withstand.

With the power of sonic spirit waves, the Heavenly Saint Bells charged toward Qingfeng Li's mind-s.p.a.ce. Where they pa.s.sed, they left a string of black holes in the dimensional barrier.

These black holes were a terrible sight to behold. Far away, self-cultivators observing the scene all felt the color drain from their faces. The weakest among them were even forced to howl in agony, blood leaking from their ears, completely unable to withstand the power of the saint level spiritual attack.

Qingfeng Li's expression was calm. There wasn't a trace of fear on his face. Rather, he looked toward the Sky-Breaking Monarch with an expression of arrogance and disdain.

Shoo!

With terrifying power, the spiritual energy from the Heavenly Saint Bells entered Qingfeng Li's mind-s.p.a.ce. The powerful spirit energy emitted beams of black light, piercing Qingfeng Li's own spirit energy in an instant.

Qingfeng Li's face drained of color as he spat out a spurt of blood. He felt a wave of pain from within as he reached out to the Black-White Millstone deep within his mind-s.p.a.ce. "What are you waiting for?" he asked. "Hurry up and come out. If I die, your situation wouldn't be any better."

With a whoosh, the Black-White Millstone emerged from the depths of Qingfeng Li's mind-s.p.a.ce and emitted twin beams of black-white light.

With extraordinary speed, the black and white rays of light enveloped the sound waves from the Heavenly Saint Bells. Then, it completely absorbed the attack.

The Heavenly Saint Bells' sonic waves struggled incessantly, trying to fight back, even trying to escape. However, under the twin beams of light from the Black-White Millstone, there was nothing it could do. Finally, it was reduced to pure spiritual energy, which was partially absorbed by the Black-White Millstone and partially absorbed by Qingfeng Li's own spirit energy.

Still standing in the same place, Qingfeng Li opened his eyes. A flash of cold light danced within as he glared toward the Sky-Breaking Monarch with a haughty air.

Seeing that Qingfeng Li was completely unharmed, the Sky-Breaking Monarch's expression changed. "How is this possible?" he said. "My Heavenly Saint Bells is a set of Saint level spiritual Dharma treasures. Their attack is on par with the spiritual attack of a Saint. Why couldn't it harm you?"

Qingfeng Li laughed. "You think that just because you have a saint level spiritual Dharma treasure, you can defeat me?" he said, voice full of disdain. "Now I'm going to destroy your saint level spiritual Dharma treasure!"

Reaching out to the Black-White Millstone deep within his mind-s.p.a.ce, Qingfeng Li bade it appear again. This time, the Black-White Millstone cooperated and flew out from deep within Qingfeng Li's mind-s.p.a.ce without protest.

This was because the Black-White Millstone had clearly sensed the presence of the Heavenly Saint Bells. It knew that this was a Saint level spiritual Dharma treasure, something that it craved. It knew that, after devouring these bells, its own spiritual power would be increased.

Emerging from deep within Qingfeng Li's mind-s.p.a.ce, the Black-White Millstone morphed into twin beams of black and white light. The beams formed the S-shape in the pattern of the Eight Trigrams of Tai Chi. Charging forward with lightning speed, they appeared before the Sky-Breaking Monarch in an instant and enveloped the Heavenly Saint Bells in his hand.
