Xiao Chen took out the exquisite copper bell from the Universe Ring. He looked at the severely damaged patterns on it and smiled faintly, "These should be able to be repaired. As for the chaotic patterns inside, I can slowly sort them out in the future."
He placed the copper bell beside his hand and his Spiritual Sense wrapped around the Astral Iron. The boundless purple flame in his right eye started to spin quickly.
"Sou!"
The purple flame leaped out from his right eye and burned the Astral Iron. The Astral Iron was extremely hard. Regular flames would not be able to melt it.
Xiao Chen's Purple Thunder True Fire, which had formed its origin, needed to be extremely hot before it could barely melt it.
Time slowly went by. Four hours had passed unknowingly. The Astral Iron in the purple flame did not show any signs of melting.
Sweat covered Xiao Chen's forehead; it dripped down continuously. The horrifying temperature of the flame made his face turn red.
"Bang!"
Xiao Chen tossed out another dull Spirit Stone. This was already the third Inferior Grade Spirit Stone that he had tossed out.
The Purple Thunder True Fire burned for a long time, exhausting a lot of Essence. Actually, with Xiao Chen's current cultivation realm, he was too anxious to melt the Astral Iron.
The ancient Immortal Cultivators on Earth only had the ability to melt the Astral Iron after they reached the Yuanying Realm. After all, it was an item from the outside world. It was not an ordinary natural treasure; it was not that easy to refine.
Xiao Chen gently wiped the sweat off his forehead. He was not too anxious in his heart. With his flushed face, he looked at the Astral Iron in the purple flame with a resolute gaze as it continued to burn.
"Di!"
When Xiao Chen used up the tenth Inferior Grade Spirit Stone, the Astral Iron finally changed. A drop of scarlet liquid slowly dripped down into the jade bottle that Xiao Chen had prepared.
Just at this moment, something strange happened. A faintly discernible evil spirit rushed out from the Astral Iron. It let out a horrifying wail and charged at Xiao Chen.
This was a mysterious Ominous Spirit in the universe. Almost every piece of Astral Iron had one. The Ominous Spirit did not have a physical body. It would only devour the souls of humans. No martial technique would have any effect on it.
No one knew what was going on with the formation of the Evil Spirit. It was just like the strange special effects of the Star Iron. No one could understand it with common sense.
Xiao Chen understood and did not panic too much. He had already expected the ferocious spirit to appear. Just as the ferocious spirit was about to charge into Xiao Chen's mind …
His eyes suddenly shot out two rays of violet light that pierced through the Ferocious Spirit. A black mist spread out, and the Ferocious Spirit continuously howled before turning into nothingness.
This purple light was something that Xiao Chen would shoot out every time he broke through a major realm. He had no idea what it was for.
However, Xiao Chen had a feeling that this purple light could destroy the Ominous Spirit that specialized in devouring souls. This was because the same scene seemed to have appeared in his life before.
When Xiao Chen was planning to melt the Astral Iron, he had already made up his mind. He would make use of this opportunity to advance to Martial Grand Master and use the violet light to kill the Ominous Spirit.
Although this was not the best time to advance, he had no other choice in order to eliminate this Ominous Spirit.
The instant the Ominous Spirit disappeared, the Astral Iron had completely melted. Xiao Chen got up and stretched himself. He was not in a rush to check on the situation after his advancement.
He picked up the porcelain bottle on the ground. After the Astral Iron, which was the size of a small mountain, was calcined, there were only ten-odd drops of scarlet liquid left behind.
"Di ta!"
Xiao Chen slowly poured the liquid onto the copper bell. When the scarlet liquid landed on the copper bell, it instantly seeped in; it looked very strange.
When the ten-odd drops of scarlet liquid entered the copper bell, it released a scarlet glow. With a 'shua' sound, it immediately flew into the air.
Lines appeared on the surface of the copper bell. It was like an invisible hand was carving. The cracks and holes on the copper bell were slowly mended.
A faint Righteous Qi came from the copper bell. When standing beside it, it made one feel very calm. Xiao Chen revealed an expression of joy. He leaned against the copper bell in the air and said, "It is indeed a Secret Treasure used by the ancient Sages. I did not waste ten-odd Inferior Grade Spirit Stones in vain."
"Dang!"
The last line of lines on the copper bell was completed. A complete ancient bell appeared before Xiao Chen's eyes. With a 'shua' sound, the copper bell became as tall as a person. A drawn-out bell chime resounded.
This sound was very calm. Xiao Chen stood below the copper bell. He felt that his Inferior Grade Martial Grand Master cultivation had stabilized significantly under the influence of this melodious bell chime.
Xiao Chen looked up. The interior of the copper bell was pitch-black; it was boundlessly deep. He could not help but feel excited. There seemed to be a small world inside.
"A Secret Treasure that can automatically materialize a small world. Could it be an incomplete King Grade Secret Treasure?" Xiao Chen frowned slightly as he looked at the deep space. He felt suspicious.
A black banner flew out from Xiao Chen's eyes. The banner carried Xiao Chen's Spiritual Sense and flew into that black space.
"Boom!"
The world before Xiao Chen suddenly changed. A space of nothingness appeared before him. The black banner under his feet continued to descend.
"Bang!" After descending for an unknown period of time, the black banner stabbed into the air with a 'shua' sound. A piece of land immediately materialized. A small world started to spread out from the ground below the banner.
A strong wind blew, dust flew everywhere, and the roars were like thunder. The scene that the small world materialized was that of an ancient battlefield.
Countless humanoid creatures stood densely in the air. Some of these creatures had three heads and six arms. They held all sorts of weapons in their hands. Black Qi lingered around them as they stood in the air.
Some of them had wings that looked like that of a bird. They floated in the air and formed hand seals with their hands. Streams of destructive energy descended from the sky.
Even further away, there were seven figures that were hundreds of meters tall. Their heads reached the sky and their feet touched the ground. Boundless black clouds gathered above their heads, stretching out for thousands of kilometers. There was no end in sight, layer upon layer, vast and boundless.
Among them, a human laughed loudly. His laughter was filled with a heroic spirit, causing one's blood to surge uncontrollably.
A huge copper bell floated above his head. The sound of the bell was like a divine sound spreading out in all directions. Ripples that could be seen with the naked eye appeared and spread out into the sky.
The countless humanoid creatures standing in the air instantly dispersed like they were breaking dry weeds. He stomped his feet, causing the ground to shake, the sky to tremble, and the mountains to shatter.
He stretched out his hand and his five fingers became infinitely large. When he pressed them together, the figures in the air were crushed like ants.
Xiao Chen stood where he was. Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat. He said in astonishment, "This is the Dragon Seizing Hand. Is this person the Yan Clan's Patriarch? What a horrifying power. He broke the laws of this space with just one palm strike. "
Standing in this battlefield, Xiao Chen was like a passerby. The Demonic Soldiers shrouded in black Qi passed by him, as though they did not see him. They charged at the Yan Clan's Patriarch.
However, the Yan Clan's Patriarch was like an undefeatable existence. The copper bell above his head shot down strands of yellow Qi, blocking all the attacks. No one could get close to him.
Finally, in the distance, among the seven huge figures, a cold voice came, "The strongest defensive Secret Treasure of the human race, the Eastern Emperor Bell?"
The moment the voice sounded out, the seven huge black figures rushed over. As they moved, the ground seemed to shrink to an inch. In the blink of an eye, they arrived before the Yan Clan's Patriarch. The surrounding people immediately retreated.
There were loud explosions and large holes appeared in space. The Eastern Emperor Bell rang out continuously. Even though the Yan Clan's Patriarch was fighting one against seven, he did not fall into a disadvantage.
However, as the battle dragged on, cracks appeared on the Eastern Emperor Bell. In the end, it could not hold on any longer, and the Dao patterns shattered.
With a 'boom', it turned into a small copper bell and fell from the sky, landing at Xiao Chen's feet. The Yan Clan's Patriarch vomited a mouthful of blood and laughed loudly. Then, his body exploded. He had actually chosen the most decisive way to die.
The instant he exploded, the ancient battlefield disappeared without a trace. In the boundless desolate land, there was only a small, damaged copper bell left. This proved that everything that had just happened was real.
Xiao Chen picked up the broken copper bell and wiped off the dust on it. He sent a strand of his Divine Sense into the copper bell and discovered that there was no imprint left behind by the Yan Clan's Patriarch.
This made things much easier. Xiao Chen left his Divine Sense inside and turned it into an imprint. Then, he slowly merged it with the Eastern Emperor Bell. After that, he controlled the black flag and broke through this space to retreat.
The black flag rushed into Xiao Chen's eyes. Xiao Chen's Divine Sense returned to his body. He looked at the Eastern Emperor Bell in the sky again. Xiao Chen already had a strange connection with it.
Xiao Chen waved his hand and the huge copper bell shrunk to the size of a thumb and landed in Xiao Chen's palm. He muttered, "Eastern Emperor Bell, the strongest defensive Secret Treasure of the human race. I wonder how much of its might I can bring out now?"
Xiao Chen placed the copper bell back into the Universe Ring and walked out of this illusion formation. If someone passed by, they would find it extremely strange. Xiao Chen's body seemed to have appeared out of thin air.
"Hey!"
An indistinct sigh entered Xiao Chen's ears. Xiao Chen's expression turned grave and he extended out his Divine Sense. Earlier, he had felt that there was a figure following him after he left the City Lord's Residence.
However, this feeling was very vague. Now that he had advanced to Inferior Grade Martial Grand Master, his senses were more than twice as strong as before. This feeling was even stronger.
Xiao Chen carefully scanned the area with his Spiritual Sense a few times but did not discover anyone. Xiao Chen said doubtfully, "Could it be that I overreacted? If there really was someone, my Spiritual Sense should have discovered them long ago."
Shaking his head, Xiao Chen recollected his thoughts. He kept an eye on this as he continued forward.
Just at this moment, Bai's figure ran over from afar. There were a few stalks of herbs in his mouth. He leaped over to Xiao Chen like he was presenting a treasure.
Xiao Chen received it and took a look. He could not help but smile. It was a few stalks of Rank 5 You Bing Grass. Xiao Chen originally did not intend to pick them. He did not expect Bai to help him obtain them.
