"I'm here!"
The Donghuang Bell appeared before Long Chen. Although it looked only three feet tall, its usual dullness was completely gone; its bronze color had actually shifted to dark gold.
The clock was engraved with countless patterns—flowers, birds, fish, insects, mountains, and seas. As divine light flowed, it seemed to be a world in itself.
The Eastern Wilderness Bell reclaimed its power, regaining its complete body, radiating endless divine might, magnificent and magnificent.
"Impressive."
Long Chen felt the boundless power of the Eastern Wilderness Bell and couldn't help but exclaim excitedly, truly worthy of being the leader of the Five Supreme Artifacts, its aura made eternity tremble.
"Thanks to you, I've finally recovered. This time, we can have another battle with Ling Tian Zhuo." Dong Huang Zhong spoke, his voice filled with endless fighting spirit.
"Back then, if it weren't for the betrayal by the master of the Nanhai Qin, we wouldn't have suffered a crushing defeat.
This time, we want to settle this once and for all with the Divine Clan and the major domains. "
Senior, could you tell me what exactly is going on with the Divine Clan and the various major domains? Why did they attack the Tianwu Continent, and what did they want? Long Chen asked in confusion.
"Lei Ling'er, keep going, but make sure he keeps his mouth shut."
Long Chen suddenly turned to Lei Ling'er, who was wielding the blade. Tianxing's cries were too miserable, as loud as a pig being slaughtered.
What Long Chen didn't expect was that Tian Xing had spent his whole life cutting on others, mastering various torture methods, yet his resistance was surprisingly weak. He fainted from the pain many times, only to be awakened by Lei Ling'er and continue cutting.
Back then, Tianxing used more than three thousand types of punishments on Long Chen. After Lei Ling'er was released, she connected with Long Chen's soul and remembered all the punishments, returning them to Tianxing.
Although hearing Tianxing's screams was satisfying, hearing it too many times made him somewhat annoyed. Long Chen asked Lei Ling'er to perform a silent punishment.
In this way, Tianxing no longer even had the right to howl. The world was covered by a net of thunder, trapped in the net's core, twitching incessantly in Lei Ling'er's hands, his eyes nearly bursting, yet unable to make a sound.
Long Chen sat cross-legged on the ground, having just broken free from the formation's restraints, his body covered in hidden injuries. At this moment, he was completely unable to participate in fierce battles. He was doing his best to heal his wounds, taking the opportunity to inquire about the Tianwu Continent from Donghuang Zhong.
Donghuang Zhong said, "Now, with a great war about to break out, there's no need to avoid any cause or effect."
In fact, the ultimate goal of the Divine Clan, Blood Clan, Beast Clan, Demon Clan, and Undying Clan is to obtain the core of the Star Domain.
The core of this star domain is the star core, a spiritual object formed at the birth of a world, equivalent to the heart of the Tianwu Continent.
And Ling Tian Zhuang is the only one capable of extracting the core of the Tianwu Continent's star domain, so to protect the continent, dealing with Ling Tian Zhuo is crucial. "
Isn't that Ling Tian bracelet supposed to belong to the Sea Demon clan? I've almost wiped out the Sea Demon clan, and Ling Tian Zhuang still has someone to command him? Long Chen asked in confusion.
"You're wrong. The Ling Tian Bracelet is an immortal artifact from the upper realm; it will never recognize its master or belong to anyone.
It has only one mission: to destroy the Tianwu Continent, and the power it needs is the blood, soul, and grudge born from slaughter.
So once the great battle begins, when otherworldly experts enter the Tianwu Continent, whether killing or being killed, they will grant Ling Tian Zhuo endless power.
Once their power is saturated, they activate the formation to seize the core of the star domain, and the entire world will be destroyed by them. "Dong Huang Zhong said in a deep voice.
"What's the point of the Star Domain core? Besides, with so many powerful fighters vying for it, how will they split the profits in the future?
Moreover, it seems they are united, coordinating inside and out, with the Divine Clan acting as traitors and other factions playing along. With such cooperation, they must have backing them from behind.
And I don't get it. The Great Emperor definitely knows about the matter between the Divine Clan and the major powers, so why not say it? "The more Long Chen listened, the more confused he became. Things on the Tianwu Continent were far too complicated.
Dong Huang Zhong sighed and said, "This is a conspiracy, a massive conspiracy. Obtaining a star domain core can be compared to possessing a body."
After the possession and erasing the soul, the core of the star domain can still be used, and a new world is born. However, this family is no longer the original world.
The core of the star domain means nothing to us in the mortal realm; it is what the previous powerhouses or gods needed.
Turning all living beings in a world into your followers, gaining a continuous flow of faith power—perhaps you'll understand once you ascend to the Immortal Realm.
As for the gods and other powers, there must be a pusher behind them. But no one knows who the pusher is. It involves the previous session, and might even be a struggle among the gods.
Why didn't the five emperors make it clear? It was because all of this was a setup—the otherworld's scheme, and the Tianwu Continent was also making arrangements.
Do you think you fell into a trap, locked up here, and that meeting me was just a coincidence?
There are no coincidences in this world; everything is predetermined. The day you step into the cultivation world, your fate has already deviated from its original trajectory, being adjusted by the Tianwu Continent, which gradually leads you to this place.
If this battle of fate is likened to a chess game, then you are destined to be the breakthrough of Tianwu Continent. The continent has tied its entire fate to you, and you are its only hope.
As for why Tianwu Continent chose you, the reason is probably known only to itself. "
Aren't you the leader of the five supreme artifacts on the Tianwu Continent? From the very beginning of the Tianwu Continent's birth, you have existed. I always thought you could represent it. Long Chen exclaimed in surprise.
Donghuang Bell: "Our five supreme divine artifacts are actually companion artifacts of the Tianwu Continent.
You might not understand this term, but the so-called companion divine artifact was born together with the Tianwu Continent; we were created together with the Creator. "
The Creator?" Long Chen's heart pounded wildly.
Donghuang Zhong did not answer Long Chen's question and continued, "You can compare the Tianwu Continent to the king, while we are the guards. Protecting the Tianwu Continent is our duty."
If we die, the Tianwu Continent will still survive, but if the Tianwu Continent perishes, we will perish with it.
Now, everyone is caught up in this situation, and no one can stand aside. Long Chen, if you want to save those around you, you can only live and die with the Tianwu Continent. "
Long Chen nodded. He had never complained about the Tianwu Continent, and he genuinely respected the five Great Emperors. Even as pawns, he was willing, and even if he died on the battlefield, he would die without regret.
Long Chen listened to the Eastern Wilderness Bell recount the secrets of the Tianwu Continent while recovering from his injuries. His body was severely damaged, almost half-crippled.
But now, after one star was crushed, the entire star map came alive, evolving on its own, with endless power, quickly restoring Long Chen's spiritual essence and soul power.
Meanwhile, the life force within the chaotic space was frantically repairing Long Chen's flesh and blood. After half an hour, Long Chen's body had recovered to ninety percent before he finally stood up.
He arrived at a sky convulsing wildly, foaming at the mouth, eyes already wide openIn front of Xing, he reached out a finger and tapped Tianxing's brow.
"Pfft!"
Blood splattered as Tianxing's head was pierced, and his body instantly went limp.
