A bronze gateway, tens of thousands of feet tall, slowly descended from the depths of space in the Gui Xu Land.
It carried an aura of mystery, vastness, desolation, ancientness, solemnity, dignity, and supremacy.
All beings in the Universe, all spirits in the sky, seemed to be prostrating before this gateway.
The Gate to Immortality appeared!
At this moment, the entire Nine Heavens and the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain were completely boiling!
Endless Universe essence Qi and Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi surged and soared like boiling oil!
For the beings of the Nine Heavens, this was a grand sacrificial feast, the beginning of a great cleansing.
But for the myriad spirits of the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain, it was a bloody Hellish nightmare!
"How could this be? I saw a bleeding era!"
"What is that sound? It's as if countless wronged souls are wailing!"
As soon as the Gate to Immortality appeared, the myriad spirits of the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain felt a subtle premonition.
They seemed to see scene after scene of a bleeding era appearing before their eyes.
And the cries of countless deceased wronged souls echoed in their ears.
Those were the countless negative resentments left behind by previous generations of turmoil.
When the Gate to Immortality reappeared, all the negative resentments, hatred, unwillingness, fear, and various emotions surfaced.
"Who can help us!"
Hundreds of millions of low-level Cultivators, and even common people, were crying.
But just then.
Dong!
A bell chime, like a great bronze bell, suddenly resounded throughout the Nine Heavens and the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain.
The bell chime swept in all directions like a tidal wave!
Yet it brought a strange sense of peace.
All beings in the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain were stunned, their gazes subconsciously turning towards the depths of the Nine Heavens.
"This... this sound, could it be..."
At this moment, the masters of the various Immortal Forces, the top powerhouses.
Even the supreme powerhouses of the Immortal Court, Hell, and the Jun Family, all looked towards the Nine Heavens Ruins.
Jun Xiaoyao's expression also trembled, feeling a strange, inexplicable summons.
Within his body, an inexplicable power was stirring.
"That... could it be!"
Jun Xiaoyao's gaze also trembled, looking through the endless space towards the Gui Xu Land.
In the eyes of the Nine Heavens Forbidden Zone and the myriad spirits of the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain.
Above the Gate to Immortality in the Gui Xu Land, a massive Bell actually emerged!
The surface of the Bell was carved with mountains, rivers, seas, and all living beings. At this moment, it appeared with the Gate to Immortality, suppressing it from above!
Its appearance was as if it wanted to suppress the Gate to Immortality and prevent its descent!
"Wu Zhong Bell!"
Waves surged in Jun Xiaoyao's heart as he muttered to himself.
The Wu Zhong Bell was precisely the Magical Artifact of Emperor Wu Zhong!
Dong! Dong! Dong!
The Wu Zhong Bell resounded, its chimes seeming to spread throughout the Three Thousand Dao Worlds, causing the heavens to tremble and the Universe to vibrate!
"That is, the Wu Zhong Bell, it's the Magical Artifact of Emperor Wu Zhong!"
"It really is the Wu Zhong Bell! How can this be? Does the Wu Zhong Bell want to stop the descent of the Gate to Immortality!"
At this moment, the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain completely boiled over.
The supreme powerhouses of all factions couldn't help but exclaim in shock.
Emperor Wu Zhong's Magical Artifact reappeared, appearing with the Gate to Immortality, to suppress it!
"Emperor Wu Zhong, so you were here all along!"
In the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain, a Cultivator knelt on the ground, tears welling up in his eyes.
Wu Zhong had not left; he had always been there!
"Great Emperor, where are you? Please return!"
"Emperor Wu Zhong, please return and quell this era's turmoil!"
In the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain, countless beings knelt on the ground, worshiping the Wu Zhong Bell, calling for Emperor Wu Zhong's return!
A single Wu Zhong Bell suppressing the Gate to Immortality—what an unparalleled and magnificent spirit!
"Even Emperor Wu Zhong is protecting us, what do we have to fear? This is not the end of the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain!"
"That's right, with the Great Emperor here, we cannot yield. We must resist the Nine Heavens Forbidden Zone and fight to the end!"
Cultivators from various forces and Families roared.
They were unwilling to become sacrifices, to become resources; they wanted to resist!
And just as the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain was filled with righteous indignation and fervent passion due to the appearance of the Wu Zhong Bell.
In the Forbidden Zones of the various cleansing factions in the Nine Heavens, sarcastic sneers rang out.
"Heh heh, truly naive. How could you possibly stop the Gate to Immortality from descending with just the Wu Zhong Bell?"
"That's right, let alone just a Bell, even if Wu Zhong himself reappeared, he absolutely couldn't stop the Gate to Immortality from descending!"
"An ant trying to stop a chariot, overestimating oneself!"
Various sarcastic voices echoed from the Forbidden Zones, coming from the various Forbidden Zone Big Brother.
Once the Gate to Immortality truly descends, the grand sacrificial ceremony and great cleansing can begin.
To try and stop the Gate to Immortality from descending with just this Bell is simply too naive.
And the reality was indeed so.
Although the Wu Zhong Bell was supremely powerful, possessing the vast might of an Immortal Artifact and a great power that suppressed all heavens and the Universe.
It was still insufficient to suppress the Gate to Immortality.
The bell chime of the Wu Zhong Bell swept like a tide, spreading throughout all worlds.
Even the Borderland, the foreign realms, and the Boundary Sea could hear it.
But the Gate to Immortality continued to break through space, preparing to descend.
"Can it not be stopped after all?"
On the Jun Family's side, beside Jun Xiaoyao, Jiang Luoli's small face also showed a hint of worry as she saw this.
"No, that's not right."
Jun Xiaoyao frowned slightly, then suddenly spoke.
"Xiaoyao, what's wrong?" Jiang Shengyi asked from the side.
"The true purpose of the Wu Zhong Bell doesn't seem to be to suppress the Gate to Immortality and prevent its descent, because that's simply impossible."
If the Wu Zhong Bell alone could stop the Gate to Immortality from descending.
Then Emperor Wu Zhong could have completely sealed the Gate to Immortality long ago.
"The Gate to Immortality descends, the Wu Zhong Bell appears and chimes, it seems... like an alarm clock, a reminder."
"A reminder that this era's turmoil is about to begin," Jun Xiaoyao continued.
"Then whose reminder is this bell chime?" the two girls subconsciously asked.
Then, their expressions simultaneously froze, and they immediately realized.
If the Wu Zhong Bell was giving a reminder, who would it be reminding?
Did they even need to ask?
"Could it be..." A hint of surprise appeared in both girls' eyes.
Jun Xiaoyao nodded and said, "It should be right."
If his guess was correct.
That legend might just return!
As time passed, under the gaze of countless eyes in the Nine Heavens and the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain.
The Gate to Immortality finally completely broke through space and descended upon the Gui Xu Land.
Boom!
The moment the Gate to Immortality descended, the world seemed to fall silent, so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.
The next moment!
Boom!
The various Forbidden Zones of the Nine Heavens trembled in unison, and endless powerful, majestic auras transformed into pillars of light, surging directly into the starry sky, causing the entire Universe to tremble!
In the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain, a figure stumbled, covered in blood and utterly disheveled, like a madman.
It was the defeated Emperor Haotian.
He looked at the vast Gate to Immortality above the Nine Heavens and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"It has descended, it has finally descended! If I get another chance, I won't fail!"
"A golden Dragon is not a thing of the pond; once it encounters wind and clouds, it transforms into a Dragon!"
"In this final gamble, I, Emperor Haotian, am destined to rise like a Dragon amidst the wind and clouds and become the Dominator of this great era!!!"
Emperor Haotian laughed wildly, his Qi shaking the clouds!
And a mysterious voice also sounded, it was Emperor Haotian's accompanying old man, that Immortal Old One.
Immortal Old One spoke with a hint of profound meaning: "Yes, after how many epochs, it has finally descended..."
