Chapter 325: Challenging A Supreme Artifact With Just The Body.
Edited by: Mochiusagi
Supreme Artifact!
In the deepest part of the Thunder God Sect, a large bell exuding an ancient aura vibrated, as an aura that shook the Heavens and Earth bursted out.
Everyone watching was shocked to the core, from what they had just witnessed.
“Thunder God Bell!”
“This is the Supreme Artifact, Thunder God Bell!”
“The name of the Thunder God Sect came from the first two characters of the artifact!”
The Witch Sect Ancestor raised his head and shouted. With the aura of the artifact, even Su Qin, who was comparable to the sky just now, was suppressed for a short time. It was as if there was no existence under the Heavens that could match the brilliance of the artifact.
“It is said that the Supreme Artifact was refined with the blood of a Supreme Powerhouse. Once activated to its full potential, it could exert the power of a Broken Void Realm Expert! Despite thousands of years passing, the Thunder God Bell still contains a wisp of the aura belonging to the Supreme Powerhouse.”
“The aura alone could crush anything…” The Dao Yi Men Ancestor also stared at the shadow of the big bell, in the deepest part of Thunder God Sect.
The Dao Yi Men also had a Supreme Artifact that was not weaker than the Thunder God Bell, but most of the time, their Supreme Artifact was in a state of silence.
At this time, although the Ancestors had somewhat maintained their composure, and even observed the Thunder God Bell, the other Cultivators watching the battle had long been frightened. Some even ran away for fear of being affected.
“Now that the Supreme Artifact of the Thunder God Sect has appeared, the Tang Empire’s Celestial should retreat for the time being.”
The Witch Sect Ancestor thought.
The Supreme Artifact was too terrifying. Even if the Thunder God Bell was only refined by a Supreme Powerhouse, and could not have the complete power of a Broken Void Realm Cultivator, no Earth Immortal would choose to confront it head-on.
However, against the Witch Sect Ancestor’s expectations, two suns appeared in Su Qin’s eyes, which turned into pillars of fire that finally rushed towards the Thunder God Bell.
[Great Sun’s Golden Eyes]!
[Rumbling~]
The Heavens and Earth collapsed. The sun and the moon reversed.
Whether it was the Dao Yi Men Ancestor or the other Cultivators, they all felt that their sight suddenly fell into darkness. It was not until a moment later, that they slowly recovered.
“What happened?”
Everyone’s minds went blank for that moment. After spending some time recovering, a few people’s faces changed drastically, as they suddenly realized something, while hurriedly looking towards the sky.
They saw Su Qin standing in the sky, but his bright sun-like eyes had now obviously dimmed. As for the deepest part of the Thunder God Sect, the shadow of the big bell began to disintegrate.
“What’s the matter?”
“Could it be that the Supreme Artifact was smashed by the Tang Empire’s Celestial?”
“Isn’t the artifact known to be unbreakable? How could it have easily shattered?”
Many were full of disbelief and confusion. But soon, someone noticed that under the shadow of the big bell, in the deepest part of the original Thunder God Sect, a half-human-tall ancient bell was floating.
Lei Dufa and another Half-Step Earth Immortal from the Thunder God Sect were sitting cross-legged under the ancient bell, while looking at Su Qin standing in the sky, in shock.
“So the artifact has not been broken. It was just the shadow formed from the bell’s aura.”
“Its real body is the half-human-tall ancient bell.”
There were Legends, who had immediately realized what happened.
“But even if it wasn’t a Supreme Artifact that was broken, the Tang Empire’s Celestial still managed to force it to reveal its true body with a single blow. It’s not an exaggeration to say that his strength is as high as the sky…” Another Legend was in awe.
The others were also in shock by the revelation.
“It actually blocked the [Great Sun’s Golden Eyes]?”
Su Qin didn’t care about the shock of the others. Instead, he focused on the half-human-tall ancient bell in the deepest part of the Thunder God Sect.
“It seems that my strength is still too weak.”
“If my strength was 1/10,000 or 1/100,000 of the three-legged Golden Crow, let alone a mere Supreme Artifact, even the entire human world would be burned into nothingness.”
Su Qin shook his head slightly.
The Supreme Artifact blocked his attack, not because the Magic Power was weak, but because Su Qin was not strong enough to exert its true power.
“In that case.”
“Let’s see where the limit of my current strength lies.”
Su Qin’s blood was boiling, and his fighting spirit soared.
The [Great Sun’s Golden Eyes] was just one of his many trump cards. Although it was not the weakest, it was still far from the dozens of stronger trump cards that Su Qin had.
At this time, Lei Dufa shouted again:
“Tang Empire Celestial, the blow just now must have exhausted a lot of your power. If you are willing to back off right now, the Thunder God Sect’s offer is still valid.”
Lei Dufa stared at Su Qin.
When Su Qin slammed the Thunder God Bell with his attack, it made Lei Dufa, who was urging the Thunder God Bell with the power of his Primordial Spirit, tremble.
However, from Lei Dufa’s point of view, Su Qin definitely tried his best to attack with that much power just now, even using a secret technique to increase his strength. Meaning, it would be impossible for Su Qin to attack again in a short amount of time.
“No need.”
Su Qin calmly took a step forward and his figure disappeared.
Immediately after, Su Qin’s figure appeared on Thunder God Island.
[Boom~]!!!
It was as if a pebble fell into the water with the sudden disturbance. Even though Su Qin dispelled the shadow of the artifact, the island was still within the shroud of its mighty power.
[Boom~]!!!
Another terrifying bell noise sounded. It was like a God banging on the bell. The sound waves, which were visible to the naked eye, swept across the deepest part of the Thunder God Island and knocked Su Qin back a few steps.
Not only that, the terrifying sound waves continued to go in all of the directions. Wherever they went, it seemed like the sky was falling apart and Cultivators exploded.
“The artifact is too terrifying.” The Snow God Palace Ancestor and other Ancestors turned pale. They hurriedly operated their True Qi and barely resisted it.
One must take note that this was tens of miles away and after Su Qin was hit with more than 90% of the power.
While everyone else was immersed in the terror of the bell, Su Qin did not retreat but advanced. Instead, he stepped forward and took several steps in a row, crossing a distance of several miles.
[Boom~]!
Su Qin’s action seemed to have angered the artifact. One ring after another, the terrifying bell sounded. It felt like hundreds of millions of thunderbolts were exploding in his ears at the same time.
“Hahaha!”
“It’s useless!”
Still, Su Qin was not even the slightest bit afraid. He simply continued walking towards the bell.
During this period, as the bell sounds continued to intensify, Su Qin’s body began to crack, as if it could not bear the pressure.
After all, this was something refined by a Supreme Powerhouse. The only reason why Su Qin could support for so long was because of the Golden Crow Divine Body. It far exceeded a Dharma Body and the power of the Golden Crow’s source was constantly circulating; resisting most of the power of the bell.
“[Flesh Rebirth]!”
Su Qin’s thoughts moved. In an instant, his cracking body began to recover. A vast, extremely vital force emerged from the depths of his body, which constantly repaired the damage.
Meanwhile, outside of the Thunder God Island, the Cultivators watching the battle from a distance were stunned by this display.
“Is the Tang Empire’s Celestial planning to attack the artifact?” A Peak Legend’s eyes widened in disbelief.
If Su Qin’s prior attack was to test the power of the artifact, then now, Su Qin approaching the artifact alone was equivalent to challenging it with just his body.
How can that be?!
“This is unbelievable! How could his body heal so quickly?!” The Divine Medicine Sect Ancestor seemed to have discovered something, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
During the battle between Lei Xuanzi and Su Qin in Chang’an City, Lei Xuanzi almost cut Su Qin in two with the Lightning Blade.
At that time, Su Qin also quickly recovered in a short period of time. However, everyone thought that it was just a special feature of the incarnation. After all, the incarnation had no substance, and was differentiated from the Primordial Spirit. As long as it was not completely destroyed, it was normal for it to quickly recover.
But now, the ‘real’ Su Qin was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye, which was simply appalling.
The body was completely different from the Primordial Spirit.
The Primordial Spirit was essentially spiritual and illusory. As long as its power was sufficient, it could easily continue to exist and change state.
But the body was fixed. The stronger the body, the more difficult it would be to heal.
But what about Su Qin?
If it wasn’t for the fact that Su Qin’s body was constantly cracking, the Divine Medicine Sect Ancestor would not even think that Su Qin had been injured at all.
At this time, Su Qin was already within ten meters of the artifact.
This area (range) was almost filled to the brim with the power of the artifact. It was like a quagmire, trapping Su Qin in place and trying to refine him.
If it weren’t for the Golden Crow Divine Body, plus the [Flesh Rebirth], Su Qin would not be able to endure it. Even a Peak Earth Immortal like the Monarch of the Eastern Sea would be suffering and seriously injured at this moment.
Even if Su Qin was able to walk within ten meters of the Thunder God Bell, it would be extremely difficult.
“Tang Empire Celestial, why are you doing this? If you don’t retreat now, even I will not be able to help you.”
Lei Dufa watched Su Qin advance step by step, and couldn’t help but be shocked.
“Really?”
“But I’m close though…”
Su Qin’s body was faintly glowing. He then looked at Lei Dufa, who was still sitting cross-legged under the Thunder God Bell, with a smile on his face.
“Close?”
Lei Dufa was stunned for a moment, and couldn’t come up with any response.
Even if Su Qin really came close, what could he do to a Supreme Artifact?
“Tang Empire Celestial.”
Lei Du calmed down, with a cold expression on his face: “If you simply leave right now, you can get away with your whole body intact.”
“The Supreme Artifact will only protect the Sect and not actively pursue.”
“But now, since you dare to go deep into the range of the artifact, then stay.” Lei Dufa took a breath and spat blood on the Thunder God Bell.
The Thunder God Bell’s aura soared.
“You didn’t understand what I meant.”
Su Qin shook his head slightly and softly sighed: “If I get close to the treasure, it means that I have walked through its strongest side…”
After Su Qin finished speaking, he took another step and appeared directly in front of the Thunder God Bell. He stretched out his palm. Under the shocked gaze of Lei Dufa and others, he pressed on the bell’s body.
[Boom~]!!!
Another bell sound rang, but compared to the previous ones, this one was obviously more dull.
“What did you do?!!”
The originally confident Lei Dufa seemed to feel something and his face drastically changed. He looked at Su Qin, as if he was looking at a ghost.
