The divine bell shone with radiant light, illuminating the universe, like a blazing sun, so dazzling that it was hard to open one’s eyes.
“This is… the Overlord Bell!”
“The Beast Emperor Sect once had an adult divine beast, which even tore apart a saint. The Overlord Bell is its natal weapon.”
“Unexpectedly, the old saint from the Beast Emperor Sect actually brought this bell here. What does he want to do?”
Everyone discussed animatedly.
“Dong…”
Suddenly, the bell tolled, resounding across thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.
“Ah…”
The cultivators on the ground simply could not withstand the pressure of the peerless saint artifact. They were immediately shaken until blood flowed from their seven orifices.
At that moment, a huge crack appeared in the void. Immediately after, a figure stepped out from inside.
This person was eight chi tall, wearing a purple dragon robe, with a golden crown on his head. Although he was advanced in age, he exuded an imperial majesty.
After the old man appeared, he looked across the space at the Supreme Elder of the Beast Emperor Sect, cupped his hands, and said politely, “Zhou Wu Wang of the Great Zhou greets Dao Brother!”
Upon hearing this, the entire scene was shocked.
“What? The old emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty is still alive?”
“Zhou Wu Wang is also a saint-level powerhouse. Rumours said he passed away a hundred years ago. It seems the facts are not so.”
“Why has he come too?”
“Two saint-level powerhouses coming here, what exactly are they doing?”
The Supreme Elder of the Beast Emperor Sect smiled faintly and said, “Dao Brother, together?”
“Good.” Zhou Wu Wang laughed heartily. Then, light bloomed from his brow, and a sword cry resounded through heaven and earth.
Clang!
A golden long sword rushed out from Zhou Wu Wang’s brow. In an instant, heaven and earth were enveloped in sword intent.
“The Saint Emperor Sword!”
“This is the national treasure divine sword of the Great Zhou Dynasty!”
On the ground, those cultivators who had not yet fled far were enveloped by the sword intent. One by one, they prostrated on the ground, hearts pounding with fear.
“Ha!”
The Supreme Elder of the Beast Emperor Sect let out a long howl. Immediately, it was as if he had become a different person. His eyes bloomed with divine light, his body surged with blood qi, like a demon god reviving. No trace of age could be seen anymore.
At the same time.
Zhou Wu Wang took a step forward. With a “dong”, a divine sound rang in the void, like heavenly thunder exploding.
The two unparalleled saints erupted simultaneously, their terrifying pressure shaking heaven and earth.
At once, the cultivators present lay on the ground one by one. They felt as if their bones were about to be obliterated, trembling with fear.
“What exactly are they going to do?”
While everyone was puzzled, they saw the Supreme Elder of the Beast Emperor Sect and Zhou Wu Wang of the Great Zhou Dynasty approach the Undying Mountain at the same time.
With each step they took, cracks appeared in the void, winds rose and clouds surged.
“I understand.”
Suddenly, a cultivator roared loudly and said, “Their lifespans are nearing the end. They want to blast open the Undying Mountain and find the secret to becoming an emperor.”
“Not good. Once they make a move, the might will surely affect us.”
“Run quickly!”
These people wanted to escape, but the pressure from the saint-level powerhouses had already made them unable to stand.
One by one, they lay on the ground, faces pale, bodies shivering.
“Boom!”
Finally, the two saint-level powerhouses, carrying peerless saint artifacts, jointly bombarded the Undying Mountain.
“Dong…”
The Overlord Bell oscillated, terrifying sound waves forming into substance, impacting out like a tsunami, crushing all things.
Immediately, terrifying void cracks appeared in the void, constantly spreading forward, like towering waves, extremely terrifying.
“Clang!”
The Saint Emperor Sword transformed into a thousand-zhang giant sword. With a slash through the air towards the Undying Mountain, it was like splitting heaven and earth.
“Boom!”
The Overlord Bell and Saint Emperor Sword bombarded the Undying Mountain simultaneously, emitting a heaven-shaking boom. The terrifying pressure pierced down like raging waves.
However, the attacks of the two saint-level powerhouses were like mud sinking into the sea, without stirring the slightest ripple.
The Undying Mountain remained unmoved, completely unharmed.
Several hundred li away.
Ye Qiu, Changmei Zhenren, and Lin Daniao stood on a mountain peak. Seeing this scene, their eyes showed shock.
“Unexpectedly, the Undying Mountain is so sturdy. Two saint-level powerhouses cannot shake it.” Ye Qiu said.
Lin Daniao said, “The two saints will not give up easily. Their lifespans are about to end. Only by blasting open the Undying Mountain can they possibly find a thread of life. Otherwise, they won’t live long before falling.”
Changmei Zhenren said, “In this poor Daoist’s view, they probably cannot blast open the Undying Mountain.”
Dozens of li away from them, the Wu You and Wu Lü brothers from the Beast Emperor Sect stood behind a middle-aged man, faces full of tension.
“Father, can Grandfather succeed?” Wu You asked.
The middle-aged man said gravely, “I don’t know. If he succeeds, then our Beast Emperor Sect can become a top sect in the Eastern Wasteland. If he fails, then…”
The middle-aged man stopped there, not continuing. As for the result of failure, they all knew clearly.
“I hope Grandfather can succeed.” Wu Lü said, “As long as Grandfather succeeds, no one will dare provoke us in the future.”
“Brother, after Grandfather breaches the Undying Mountain, help me slaughter that kid.”
“Damn it, he dared to hit me. I can’t wait to tear him apart.”
Wu Lü had been puzzled earlier why, at the critical moment, his brother suddenly retracted his killing intent and took him to flee far away.
Only when he saw Grandfather appear with the saint artifact did he understand that if they had stayed in place, they would also have been affected.
“Heaven bless us, I hope Grandfather can succeed.” Wu You clenched his fists and said in a low voice.
In front of the Undying Mountain.
After the two saints jointly struck once, they exchanged a glance and launched another attack.
“Boom!”
The Supreme Elder of the Beast Emperor Sect used all his strength, urging the Overlord Bell, forcefully bombarding the Undying Mountain.
“Dong dong dong…”
The bell tolls continued, terrifying sound waves forming ripples, spreading out like waves. Wherever they passed, everything turned to dust.
“Ah…”
Countless cultivators on the ground died under the sound waves, screams rising one after another.
Some survivors used all their strength, wanting to escape from here, but as soon as they stood up, they were swept by the sound waves. Their bodies immediately shattered into pieces, turning into blood mist.
In an instant, tens of thousands of cultivators all perished.
Not a single survivor.
“Clang!”
A sword cry sounded.
Zhou Wu Wang of the Great Zhou Dynasty rushed out. The Saint Emperor Sword in his hand turned into a huge lightning bolt, releasing peerless sharpness, slashing towards the Undying Mountain.
The two old saints attacked desperately.
Their lifespans were nearing the end. If they could not blast open the Undying Mountain, they would not live long before completely falling.
But if they could blast open the Undying Mountain and find the secret to becoming an emperor, not only would they not die, but they might even achieve emperorhood.
For this, the two old saints exerted all their power, only wanting to obtain a thread of life.
Above the Undying Mountain, divine lights danced, the sky trembled violently, void black holes constantly appeared, the scene full of devastation, extremely horrifying.
However, the Undying Mountain was unharmed.
Suddenly, a voice like a grand bell rang out, “This old man will lend you a hand!”
