Long Chen closed his eyes. In his dantian, a human-shaped flame was forming, slowly forming seals.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, Long Chen's dantian trembled slightly. A point of light opened, and in that instant, Long Chen's body shuddered.
Using the power of spiritual fire, Long Chen finally opened the chaotic space and established contact with it. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Once he opened the chaotic space, Long Chen could find a way to activate the chaotic spatial power and shatter the formation on his body.
However, Long Chen did not act immediately. Even if the formation collapsed, what difference would it make? How could he get out of here if he was trapped here?
Moreover, once the formation was broken, the Divine Clan would surely realize that even if a large number of powerful figures arrived, they would still be unable to escape, and at that point, there would truly be no chance at all.
"Buzz"
When Long Chen opened the chaotic space, a bronze shard suddenly lit up inside. It was a fragment of the Eastern Wilderness Bell, and it was now glowing.
Long Chen was moved and summoned the bronze fragment. Light flickered continuously on the plate, and space gently pulsed, as if conveying something.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, the void twisted, and a phantom appeared before Long Chen. Upon seeing the shadow, Long Chen cried out in surprise.
That shadow was none other than the Eastern Wilderness Bell. At this moment, the bell was no longer as broken as it once was. Though it was just a shadow, its aura was grand and sacred.
"Donghuang Zhong, what are you doing here?" Long Chen shouted in surprise.
"Heh heh, it really is fate. I've finally waited for you." Donghuang Zhong chuckled, his voice carrying a hint of relief.
"Senior, please save me!" Long Chen shouted excitedly.
"I have to save you first." The Eastern Wilderness is the central path.
"What?"
Long Chen was instantly like cold water poured over his head and shouted angrily, "I'm already like this, and I still want to save you?" Long
Chen was now tormented to the point of losing his human form, with no strength at all, barely able to protect himself—how could he possibly save anyone?
"Don't worry, listen to me first. These bastards hid my body in eight hidden worlds. Over the years, I've found each one again, but two parts are still missing: one is in your hand, and the other is sealed beneath this world.
Beneath this world stands an Eternal Evergreen Vine—a primordial being that is absorbing the power of my core components. "Donghuang Zhongdao said, as Long Chen slowly merged into the void and disappeared into the void.
The phantom of the Eastern Wilderness Bell trembled slightly, its aura suddenly surging. The return of the bronze fragment brought it even greater power.
"No way, you're the leader of the Five Supreme Artifacts, and even you can't handle it?" Long Chen said in disbelief.
"Killing it is easy, but there are two tricky problems. First, if I kill it, it will absorb my power for so many years and then disappear with its demise. Even if I obtain the core components, much of the power will never return."
Another thing is that it has a protective formation. If you kill it with violence, people will notice. So, I was just figuring out how to kill it, and suddenly I thought of you. Then you came. That's wonderful. "Dong Huang Zhong said excitedly.
"What can I do to him?" Long Chen glared and said.
"Get some of your black soil out for me. I'll let it wither, and then its power will gradually be released to me.
This way, I can reclaim my power without alerting others. You could say your arrival is simply fate." "Donghuang Zhong said.
"Is that Eternal Evergreen Vine a fool? Will it not resist? Not informing others? Long Chen asked.
"You don't understand, that Eternal Evergreen Vine has no consciousness. In any case, my method will definitely work. Just give me the black soil quickly." The Eastern Wilderness is the central path.
Long Chen activated the power of the Fire Spirit, sending black earth flying out and forming a black torrent. The Eastern Wilderness Bell shot out a beam of light, catching the black earth and storing it inside the bell.
"Enough, enough!"
After the time it takes to burn an incense stick, the Eastern Wilderness Bell said excitedly. As he spoke, a rune shot out from the bell, landing on Long Chen's brow and slowly merging into his body.
"I can't save you yet. If you run into danger, just shatter this rune. I'll come save you then.
But you'd better give me some time, or I won't be able to fully recover. If I can't fully recover, I definitely won't be able to beat Ling Tian Zhuan. "Donghuang Zhong reminded him.
Long Chen nodded, indicating he understood. The core component and the energy being absorbed were crucial to the Eastern Wilderness Bell, as it concerned the survival of the entire Tianwu Continent.
Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, that rune must never be used, or it will ruin all the efforts of the Eastern Wilderness Bell.
The shadow of the Eastern Wilderness Bell disappeared into the void. Long Chen didn't know which direction it was in this world, but judging by its appearance, it seemed it had only just entered here not long ago; otherwise, it would have long since found a way to ask for Black Earth.
"Relying on no one is better than relying on yourself."
After Donghuang Zhong left, Long Chen couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Seeing Donghuang Zhong, Long Chen thought he was saved, but he hadn't expected Donghuang Zhong to be in trouble and still count on him to save him.
Originally, Long Chen's plan was to channel the formation on his body into the Chaos Pearl. He couldn't control the Chaos Pearl yet, but if any external force invaded, the Chaos Pearl would surely counterattack on its own. Long Chen was confident he could use the Chaos Pearl's power to shatter the entire formation.
However, if the formation collapses, it will inevitably alert the divine race, but escaping is pointless.
Long Chen planned to wait for the arrival of the Heavenly Punishment, then catch him off guard and force him to open the spatial gate and escape.
Now that the Donghuang Bell had appeared, he had become even more passive. At this point, he still had to wait for the Donghuang Bell.
Day after day passed, but Tianxing still came to torment Long Chen every few days. Long Chen nearly wanted to kill him many times, but in the end, he held back.
Tianxing didn't notice any change in him, but each time he became more irritable, Long Chen's will left him utterly despairing.
On this day, the heavenly punishment came again, but this time, he didn't torment Long Chen. Instead, he looked at Long Chen and said, "
Today is the twenty-ninth day. Tomorrow is the deadline, and also your last chance."
I want to tell you some not-so-good news: Long Aotian has already become emperor.
The prodigies from the other domains also succeeded in ascending to emperorhood, and tomorrow, they would launch a full-scale assault on the Tianwu Continent.
The destruction of the Tianwu Continent is already a done deal, and everyone connected to you will die. Those close to you, especially women, even death is a luxury.
The Holy Lord said that as long as you agree to reveal the secret, you can bypass your women.
You don't need to answer me so quickly. I'll give you one day to think it over. If by tomorrow I arrive and still haven't given a satisfactory answer, I will execute you. "
After Tianxing finished speaking, he was just like thatAfter leaving, Long Chen's face darkened. How could their cultivation speed be so fast?
"Donghuang Zhong, how much longer until you recover?" Long Chen was anxious; if things didn't go well, it would be too late.
"It's almost done. Trust me, we can make it." A voice came from the Eastern Wilderness Bell.
The next day, Tianxing arrived. He looked coldly at Long Chen, his killing intent radiant: "The great battle has begun, you're useless now." "
