Chu Mu!
Two shining silver words, representing a person's name, appeared at the top of the pitch-black wall, above all the silver and golden names, suppressing eternity.
Originally, the first name at the very top was pure gold. The golden light was resplendent and contained a shocking energy fluctuation. However, at this moment, it was pushed down by Chu Mu's two words and couldn't resist at all.
Before Chu Mu, forty breaths of time was the limit. After Chu Mu, no one knew how many breaths of time was the limit, because only at forty breaths of time did the silver luster of Chu Mu's name dim at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye. According to that speed, it was possible to exceed fifty breaths or even sixty breaths.
However, after forty breaths of time, the two words suddenly disappeared, entering the wall, and reappearing at the top of the wall, suppressing all the other names below.
Everyone knew that this was a new limit, a limit that made people feel despair.
"Terrifying control of power."
"Is this the monstrous genius that only appears once in a thousand years?"
"Inconceivable, completely incomprehensible."
In front of the huge wall, there was only silence.
"Brother Gu, take me to the Heaven Bell," Chu Mu said.
"Oh … Okay …" Gu Shaojie was so excited that his whole body was trembling, and his voice was also trembling. The other people looked very envious. If other cultivators saw this in the outside world, they would definitely be so shocked that their eyes would widen. In their impression, geniuses were very arrogant, and such an expression and attitude would only appear on those ordinary people.
In this place, if one was not a peerless genius, there was nothing to be proud of.
In the end, geniuses were also human, and had seven emotions and six desires.
Gu Shaojie brought Chu Mu to hit the Heaven Bell. In the end, a large group of outer sect geniuses acted as the path. They were majestic, like an army passing through. They were orderly, and their faces were filled with excitement. Red light shot out in all directions, and their eyes were like hungry wolves in the night. This caused everyone who saw them to jump in fright, thinking that a powerful enemy was attacking.
The Heaven Striking Bell was to strike the Heaven Striking Bell.
Sky Bell was located on Sky Bell Mountain.
The Sky Bell Mountain was only 990 meters tall. A huge, dark, ancient bronze bell was located at the top of the Sky Bell Mountain.
This Sky Bell was about ten meters tall, with a diameter of about three meters at the top and six meters at the bottom. It was black in color, and looked very simple from the inside out. The walls of the bell were very thick, and there were countless patterns carved on it. Those patterns were like the outlines of ancient beasts, and they emitted an ancient and boundless aura.
A huge bell floated quietly on top of the Tianzhong Mountain without any support. It just floated quietly in the air, as if it was frozen in the void.
Chu Mu's group arrived at the foot of Tianzhong Mountain.
"Brother Chu, let me go first." Ling Jian said.
He was a little worried.
He had climbed the towering peak before. Although he did not see Chu Mu climb it with his own eyes, many people had confirmed that Chu Mu had challenged a height of 9600 meters. That was a height that many people, including him, could not hope to reach.
He had only left his name on the wall for nine breaths, which was not enough to leave his name. However, Chu Mu had not only reached the standard, but also far exceeded it. If he had only reached the standard, Ling Jian was confident that he could surpass him. However, to leave his name for more than forty breaths was to surpass the first person since ancient times. The shining silver name was above everyone, and was at the top of the wall like a curse.
Ling Jian also wanted to challenge the Heaven Striking Bell. Firstly, it was to train himself, and secondly, it was a task given by his master.
The reason why he wanted to attack first was because he was worried that Chu Mu would be like the Ten Thousand Foot Absolute Peak or the Reflective Wall, leaving behind a despairing achievement. If that happened, he wouldn't have any thoughts of challenging the Heaven Striking Bell.
"Please." Chu Mu did not mind at all. He also wanted to see the mysteries of the Heaven Striking Bell. After all, the explanation of others was not as clear as seeing it with his own eyes.
Taking a deep breath, Ling Jian leapt up and arrived at the peak of the Heaven Striking Bell in the blink of an eye.
Standing in front of the huge Heaven Striking Bell, Ling Jian's expression was solemn. The Heaven Striking Bell emitted an ancient and boundless aura that made people unconsciously focus their attention and treat it seriously.
All kinds of techniques regarding the Heaven Striking Bell flashed through his mind, and his thoughts became clear.
The towering peak was a challenge that was closely related to one's strength and cultivation. Leaving one's name on the wall was another challenge that required one's control and utilization of one's strength. The Heaven Striking Bell was a new challenge.
To ring the Heaven Striking Bell required a certain amount of strength, which was offensive strength. In other words, it was destructive strength. If one's strength was insufficient, it would be impossible to ring the Heaven Striking Bell, and the challenge would fail. Ringing the Heaven Striking Bell was just the beginning.
Direct strength, technique, grasp of timing, etc. All of these had to be present. This was a challenge that was even more difficult than the wall.
Ling Jianyi's gaze turned sharp. His gaze was completely focused, and a bright light flickered in his eyes.
Taking a deep breath, the Sword Origin in Ling Jian's meridians flowed faster. His strength surged, and even though there was no wind, his long hair and robes fluttered. His aura continued to rise.
Everyone's gazes were focused on Ling Jianyi.
In an instant, a Sword Light bloomed in Ling Jianyi's right hand. The blazing light was like a meteor that streaked across the sky. The sword slashed out with unparalleled might.
The blazing Sword Light accurately struck the simple and dark Heaven Striking Bell in an instant. The Sword Light shattered, but the Heaven Striking Bell did not budge at all.
Ling Jianyi's cultivation was at the late stage of the Ninth Heavenly Layer of Nirvana, and he was also a peak genius. In terms of quality, the Sword Origin that he cultivated was definitely superior to ordinary cultivators of the same level. Even though he did not use any sword technique, the might of that sword was definitely not weak. Yet, it was actually unable to shake the Heaven Striking Bell at all.
Ling Jianyi was also surprised, but he did not lose his composure. He struck out again without hesitation.
Another blazing Sword Light slashed out, tearing the sky apart. Its speed was even faster, and its might was even stronger.
The sharp Sword Light struck the dark and heavy Heaven Striking Bell. This time, the Heaven Striking Bell shook slightly and let out a soft and dull sound.
"It moved … …"
"There's nothing strange about it. A Ninth Heavenly Layer of Nirvana can shake the Heaven Striking Bell."
"That's right. The difficult part is not shaking the Heaven Striking Bell, but making it ring a few times."
Now, the Heaven Striking Bell only moved slightly. The weak sound could not even be counted as a ring.
However, this was a good start.
The Heaven Striking Bell emitted a weak ripple. The might of Ling Jianyi's sword was reflected, and it turned into a ray of light that blasted towards Ling Jianyi.
This was the unique characteristic of the Heaven Striking Bell.
Once the Heaven Striking Bell could be done, the Heaven Striking Bell would reflect the attack. The Heaven Striking Bell would not only have to guard against the Heaven Striking Bell's counterattack, but also have to use an even stronger attack to strike the Heaven Striking Bell.
What was a true striking of the Heaven Striking Bell?
The sound of the bell was loud and clear, spreading ten miles away.
Ling Jianyi spun in the air, avoiding the counterattack of the Heaven Striking Bell. As he spun, he slashed out again.
This time, the Sword Light was even more condensed, and it struck the Heaven Striking Bell.
With a boom, the Heaven Striking Bell rang. Ripples spread out, and the sound waves spread to ten miles away.
"The first ring."
After the first ring, the Heaven Striking Bell made another counterattack. With the same attack power, a ray of light blasted towards Ling Jianyi like a meteor.
Ling Jianyi's expression was cold and solemn. He slashed out with his sword, crushing the Heaven Striking Bell's counterattack. Then, he slashed out a second time, blasting towards the Heaven Striking Bell.
With a boom, the heavy sound once again rang out from the Heaven Striking Bell.
The second ring.
After avoiding the Heaven Striking Bell's counterattack, Ling Jianyi appeared at another angle and slashed out again.
"Thunder!" With a low shout, the sword seemed to have turned into a ray of lightning, tearing the sky apart. The azure lightning was extremely fast.
Ling Jianyi performed a sword technique.
"That's the Thunder Firmament Sword Saint's signature sword technique." A sharp-eyed person recognized it.
The Thunder Striking Sword struck the Heaven Striking Bell. With a clang, the Heaven Striking Bell rang even louder.
The third ring.
The third ring was indeed louder, but the counterattack power of the Heaven Striking Bell also increased.
Ling Jianyi dodged and slashed out again.
His grasp of timing lay in the fact that after the Heaven Striking Bell rang, there would be an inconspicuous sway. However, each sway would bring along a powerful force.
If the Heaven Striking Bell was sway in the direction of the person, it would not be suitable to attack. Otherwise, the power of the attack would be partially offset, and the Heaven Striking Bell might not ring again. Only when the Heaven Striking Bell was sway in the opposite direction would the attack increase the sway and strengthen the sound.
Ling Jianyi's grasp of timing was clearly on point.
Another sword strike, and it was still Thunder Striking Bell. However, this time, the Thunder Striking Bell was even brighter. This was because Ling Jianyi used his Sword Force, Grade 1 Sword Force.
Under Grade 1 Sword Force, the power of the Thunder Striking Bell was doubled, causing the Heaven Striking Bell to ring for the fourth time.
The fifth ring, Grade 2 Sword Force Thunder.
The sixth ring, Grade 3 Sword Force Thunder.
The seventh ring, Grade 4 Sword Force Thunder.
Dodging and defending against the counterattack of the Heaven Striking Bell, Ling Jianyi grasped the best opportunity to attack again. Every step had to be precise, without the slightest mistake. Under such high concentration, Ling Jianyi started to feel tired, because the pressure of the Heaven Striking Bell was constantly attacking him.
"He is indeed a peerless genius, to be able to make the seventh ring so easily."
"The seventh ring is definitely not his limit. I'm guessing that the eighth ring won't be a problem either. Who knows, he might even be able to make the tenth ring."
After dodging the counterattack of the Heaven Striking Bell, Ling Jian finished preparing his next sword strike.
"Thunder Shocking … Double Flash!" A low roar sounded like the roar of thunder, supported by Grade 2 Sword Force.
Thunder Shocking Double Flash was a sword technique that Ling Jianyi had developed based on the foundation of the Thunder Shocking Sword. It was an upgraded version of the Thunder Shocking Sword.
In that instant, his sword slashed out twice, and two lightning-like Sword Light slashed towards the Heaven Striking Bell.
