"Great Desert Eastern Wastelands Bell … This is Eastern Wastelands' Sacred Vessel, the Berserkers' …" Bao Qiu's hoarse voice came from behind Su Ming intermittently.
Her voice was incredibly weak, and the illusory statue before her was also trembling faintly, as if it was about to shatter at any moment once the bell appeared.
Su Ming's breathing quickened slightly, and he only managed to calm down after some time. He looked at the gigantic Eastern Wastelands Bell in the sky, and a powerful wave of heat appeared in his eyes!
He finally realized what that sound was. It was … the bell chime that came from within the crack. However, because of the obstruction of the crack, and because the spiritual energy of heaven and earth kept pouring in, the bell chime sounded different to the ears of those who heard it.
Yet when he thought about it, that sound was clearly bell chime!
Almost at the instant Eastern Wastelands Bell descended from the sky, eight women dressed in white appeared in each of the Evil Sects in Eastern Wastelands!
It was the same for Evil Spirit Sect. Eight women dressed in white floated into the air, and judging by their expressions, they looked as if they were not affected much by the pressure coming from Eastern Wastelands Bell!
Each of these eight women was beautiful, and there was an indescribable presence surrounding their bodies at that moment. They floated in the sky, and there was a small red bottle before each of them.
Eight drops of blood flew out from the eight bottles, and they landed at the center of each woman's brows like a red dot. At the instant they did so, the eight women closed their eyes, and a piercing blood-red light erupted from their bodies.
Under that blood-red light, their white robes looked as if they had turned blood red. As that light filled the air, it covered Evil Spirit Sect's mountain, but it did not cover the Berserkers' Sky so that Eastern Wastelands Bell would not be able to detect the presences of those who descended. The function of that red light was to allow Eastern Wastelands Bell to display its power based on the different levels of cultivation and limits of those who descended.
It could be said that the blood-red light was like a filter. Every single time it changed, it would hide the presences of the others, revealing only one person, giving that person a chance to fight against Han Mountain Bell alone!
Moreover, this blood light could change the aura of the person who revealed their cultivation, causing their aura to be 10% to 20% lower than their true cultivation. Using this method, it would be a true trial!
The Eastern Wasteland Bell's divine abilities would be unleashed according to the cultivation base it sensed. It wouldn't waste the slightest bit, nor would it unleash the slightest bit less.
Yet even so, Eastern Wastelands Bell was definitely not an ordinary treasure. It was the Sacred Vessel of the entire Berserkers and Eastern Wastelands. It was a priceless treasure left behind by the first God of Berserkers to protect the Berserkers!
It possessed the power to shatter anything with a single strike. Regardless of the level of his opponent's cultivation base, it would use the same level of power to descend upon them. However, what it revealed was a power that could destroy anyone in the Cultivation Realm. It was also the most powerful thing in the Cultivation Realm!
Yet even if Evil Sect had made such preparations, some of the Evil Sect members who descended upon the Berserkers' Disaster that happened once every fifty years would still die under Eastern Wastelands Bell!
This method of indirectly controlling Eastern Wastelands Bell and changing the Celestial Maiden's function was created by the strongest person in Evil Sect, Ji An. This method might be insane and dangerous, but it could make all those in Evil Sect not want to waste even a single bit of time. They would train madly and fight against the Immortal sects, because they could use Enchanted Treasures to fight against the Berserkers' Disaster.
The blood-red screen of light that had been modified by Ji An spread out above the four great Evil Sects at that moment. Almost at the instant the blood-red screen of light was formed, the first person to go through the trial of the Berserkers' Disaster was the strongest person in Evil Spirit Sect - the Grand Sect Elder Shen Dong!
Su Ming stared at the blood-red screen of light, and his eyes sparkled. He was looking at the eight women and the blood-red bottle before them. In silence, a complicated look appeared on his face.
He remembered the bewildered Celestial Maiden who was in his storage bag at that moment …
At that moment, a cold harrumph came from the top of Evil Spirit Sect's mountain. Bao Qiu's expression finally calmed down under the blood-red screen of light, as if all the pressure on her had disappeared. However, a grave expression appeared on her face, and there was even a deep sense of nervousness on her face. With a pale face, she looked towards Su Ming's back.
She knew that the true trial was about to begin!
The cold harrumph caused the person who had spoken to become the only person whose level of cultivation was revealed under the blood-red screen of light. A powerful power erupted forth at that instant, and the ripples of power shook the sky and earth, causing Su Ming's pupils to shrink, and he lifted his head to look over.
He saw the black smoke rising into the sky turning into a gigantic shadow. That shadow seemed to be ten thousand feet tall, and it was rather indistinct, as if it would scatter if wind blew on it. However, no matter how strong the wind was, it could not blow away the shadow of the black smoke. Only those whose level of cultivation had surpassed great completion in the Berserker Soul Realm or those who had surpassed the Immortals in Ascendance would be able to do so.
That shadow seemed to be a man, but due to his indistinct appearance, his face could not be seen clearly. However, the presence spreading out from his body caused Su Ming's pupils to shrink.
The feeling he got from this person's level of cultivation was similar to that of Si Ma Xin, who had obtained the inheritance of the second God of Berserkers and had mastered numerous divine abilities in the past!
At that moment, the illusory figure shot through the blood-red screen of light and appeared in the world. Immediately, a deafening hum came from Eastern Wastelands Bell in the sky. As that hum rang out, the bell did not even cast any of its divine abilities, but simply used its gigantic body to push down on the ground.
With it, the bell sank ten feet downwards, and as it did so, a wave of ripples spread out swiftly towards the ground. The entire ground let out a loud bang, and even Evil Spirit Sect's mountain shuddered a few times. A large amount of shattered stones fell off, and cracks appeared on the ground before rapidly spreading outwards.
At the same time, the gigantic, indistinct figure lifted his arms, as if he was trying to push against the sky's mighty pressure and fight against Eastern Wastelands Bell's sinking power.
A low roar reverberated in the air. That roar sounded as if a person had been holding his breath for a long time before letting it out. As that roar spread out like muffled thunder, the indistinct figure seemed to be unable to withstand that pressure. With a bang, his arms exploded, as if he could no longer withstand it, and right before Su Ming's eyes, his body shattered into pieces like a broken vase as the roar reverberated in the air.
However, as it shattered, Su Ming saw that there was another figure within that shattered black shadow. It was a middle-aged man with rather long hair dressed in blue robes. A ghastly glare shone in his eyes, and he started roaring towards the sky.
"Is this the ultimate power of those in the later stage of Ascendance? You still can't destroy me?!" Naturally, the middle-aged man was Shen Dong. As he spoke, he flew up and charged towards Eastern Wastelands Bell!
Su Ming's eyes sparkled, and as he looked at Evil Spirit Sect's Grand Sect Elder Shen Dong's figure, he thought in his heart. 'A power that's equivalent to great completion in the Berserker Soul Realm … is an Immortal who has attained great completion in Ascendance!'
'But the presence he's showing isn't that of great completion in the Berserker Soul Realm. It's a power that's slightly inferior to the later stage of Ascendance. This should be related to the Celestial Maiden's screen of light …' Su Ming narrowed his eyes. He could already tell that Evil Sect had used a trick to fight against the Berserkers' Disaster, and through this, he could also guess that the power Eastern Wastelands Bell was using should be the ultimate power of a Realm.
As Su Ming was immersed in his thoughts, he lifted his head, and with bright eyes, he looked at Shen Dong getting closer to Eastern Wastelands Bell in the sky. At the instant he was about to close in, a ripple swiftly spread out from Eastern Wastelands Bell, and that ripple turned into an illusory mountain and river!
At first glance, the mountain and river looked like an illusion, but soon, they turned incredibly corporeal. They looked like the Milky Way and Heaven Mountain in the sky!
These mountains and rivers were the things carved on the bell's body. They were originally nine mountains, nine rivers, and nine deserts!
At that moment, what appeared in midair was a mountain and a river. There were no deserts! At the instant the mountain and river appeared, Su Ming immediately saw an incredibly grave expression on Shen Dong's face. As the Milky Way descended, it looked as if it had turned into a long dragon that swept through the sky and charged towards Shen Dong. At the same time, the Milky Way let out a bang and appeared right above Shen Dong, as if it had teleported, and pressed down on him.
All of this might have seemed to have happened over a long period of time, but in truth, only the span of a few breaths had passed since the mountain and river appeared. As booming sounds reverberated in the air, the mountain and river disappeared, and Shen Dong coughed up a huge mouthful of blood, but he continued retreating while laughing loudly.
The blood-red screen of light in Evil Spirit Sect immediately changed as the eight Celestial Maidens moved, covering up Shen Dong's presence and revealing the ripples of power from another person. Su Ming saw the Berserkers' Disaster in Eastern Wastelands, and he saw all the Berserkers who had changed their blood inheritance in Evil Spirit Sect being revealed as the blood-red screen of light changed. They would either successfully go through the disaster … or die.
Shrill screams of pain reverberated in the air …
"This is the ninth …" Bao Qiu's voice came from behind Su Ming. Her face was pale as she looked at the sky outside the window.
Su Ming did not speak. Grief gradually appeared on his face. He was not grieving for those who had descended to this place or those who had changed their blood inheritance. He was grieving for the persistence of Eastern Wastelands' Sacred Vessel, which had never changed since the beginning of time …
Even if that persistence had been used by Evil Sect to turn into the Berserkers' Disaster to refine their sect.
Su Ming watched Eastern Wastelands Bell repeatedly trying to kill all the people who had revealed the ripples of power from the other races. It descended time and time again, wanting to use this one day that would only appear once every fifty years to complete its mission. Even if it would become increasingly difficult to complete its mission, it still persisted.
Su Ming closed his eyes. Not long after he did so, a wave of cold air suddenly surrounded the tower where he was. At the same time, Bao Qiu's Berserkers' Disaster arrived!
An incredibly mighty pressure descended swiftly and landed on the tower, right on Bao Qiu's body. Bao Qiu trembled and gritted her teeth to fight against it.
Su Ming still had his eyes closed.
