The vast bell chime spread throughout the Nine Heavens and the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain.
It seemed to announce the return of a once great, supreme existence.
An existence worshipped by all living beings in the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain, known as their guardian deity.
Wu Zhong Emperor!
Hearing the bell chime, Chang Sheng Emperor's outstretched finger suddenly paused.
He then looked towards the Wu Zhong Bell, a faint, unusual expression in his eyes.
"Your master isn't here, yet you still wish to suppress the Gate to Immortality?"
With that, Chang Sheng Emperor struck the Wu Zhong Bell with one hand.
Clang!
A sound that shook heaven and earth rang out.
The Wu Zhong Bell erupted with ten thousand acres of Divine Power, boundless and surging, as if it wanted to engulf everything.
Chang Sheng Emperor's expression remained indifferent.
He continuously struck the Wu Zhong Bell, actually intending to shatter it directly!
One must know, this was an Immortal Artifact!
Not an Emperor Artifact.
Even an Emperor Artifact would be difficult to shatter.
Let alone a true Immortal Artifact.
But Chang Sheng Emperor, precisely, intended to shatter the Wu Zhong Bell.
Each time he struck, a sound wave that shattered the Void Realm erupted.
The Wu Zhong Bell resisted fiercely, and even a hazy figure emerged from the Wu Zhong Bell.
It was the Immortal Artifact spirit of the Wu Zhong Bell.
He was resisting with all his might.
Those bell chimes, one after another, spread throughout heaven and earth.
Countless living beings in the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain, upon hearing these chimes, even knelt directly on the ground, tears streaming down their faces.
"Wu Zhong Emperor, please return and save the people of the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain!"
"Wu Zhong Emperor, the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain needs you!"
In the Azure Heaven Immortal Domain, which had been torn into two halves, a very small number of living beings still remained.
Before them lay the bones of their loved ones, relatives, children, and parents.
Upon hearing the bell chime.
They looked up at the sky, weeping, and cried out with heart-wrenching anguish: "Great Emperor, please return! I am willing to offer everything, only wishing you can quell this disaster!"
At this moment, throughout the entire Nine Heavens Immortal Domain, countless living beings knelt on the ground, begging for Wu Zhong Emperor to return.
They knew that Wu Zhong Emperor had not fallen.
After Wu Zhong quelled the last turmoil.
He placed his beloved, West Queen Mother, in an ice coffin, carried her on his back, and then disappeared without a trace.
But all living beings in the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain felt that Wu Zhong Emperor was definitely not dead; he was still alive.
The prayers of countless living beings transformed into an overwhelming power of read, spreading throughout the heavens.
As if sensing this power of read, Chang Sheng Emperor's expressionless face suddenly showed a faint sneer.
"Indeed, you are mere ants, only capable of begging and waiting for others' salvation. Since that is the case, then this Emperor will personally shatter your delusions!"
With that, Chang Sheng Emperor raised his hand, and the Chang Sheng Wheel rotated and rolled, then shot towards the Wu Zhong Bell with a thunderous roar!
This strike instantly pierced through space, truly intending to shatter the Wu Zhong Bell!
Time, at this moment, seemed to stand still.
All things in heaven and earth, all living beings, watched this scene.
If the Wu Zhong Bell truly shattered, it would undoubtedly represent the collapse of a faith.
And just at this moment.
Jun Xiaoyao's mind suddenly stirred, and his gaze inexplicably turned towards the Boundary Sea World.
The Void Realm seemed to faintly ripple.
"He's coming…"
Jun Xiaoyao unconsciously murmured to himself.
Only Jun Xiaoyao knew that Wu Zhong Emperor had ultimately gone to the Boundary Sea World.
Because before, when he entered the Barrier World from the Virtual Heaven Realm to search for the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal Root.
He unexpectedly obtained the Wu Zhong Emperor Scripture and also saw a trace left behind by Wu Zhong Emperor.
He was crying over an ice coffin.
At that time, Jun Xiaoyao knew that Wu Zhong had ultimately gone to the Boundary Sea World.
And now, at this moment, Jun Xiaoyao had that subtle, innate sense.
Because he and Wu Zhong were both Congenital Holy Body Dao Embryo!
At this moment, Chang Sheng Emperor, urging the Chang Sheng Wheel, was about to strike the Wu Zhong Bell.
"Wu Zhong, this Emperor rather looks forward to your return to fight me."
"But, even you cannot stop this Emperor from opening the Gate to Immortality!"
As his voice fell, the Chang Sheng Wheel finally collided with the Wu Zhong Bell.
"Is that so?"
A voice, slightly hoarse, suddenly rang out.
At this moment, heaven and earth fell silent…
A slightly rough, ancient hand gently rested on the Wu Zhong Bell.
An incomparably brilliant Holy Body Dao Embryo power instantly poured into the Wu Zhong Bell!
Clang!
A bell chime shook the Nine Heavens!
This bell chime spread throughout heaven and earth, sweeping through the eight directions!
All living beings in the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain who were praying with their eyes closed, at this moment, all opened their eyes and looked towards the Nine Heavens!
Billions of eyes, billions of gazes, fell upon the Nine Heavens!
Whether it was the Chief Priest on the forbidden zone's side, or the powerhouses of the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain faction.
At this moment, they all simultaneously cast their gazes.
A figure, completely enveloped in light, at the last moment, tore through billions of layers of the Void Realm.
He stepped onto the Nine Heavens Ruins and placed one hand on the Wu Zhong Bell.
Immediately!
Clang!
Terrifying Law ripples swept through, stirring up ten thousand-foot waves!
The Chang Sheng Wheel was actually repelled!
"Wu Zhong!"
Chang Sheng Emperor uttered a cold remark.
Behind the Wu Zhong Bell, that figure emerged from the brilliant light.
His grayish-white hair fluttered in the wind.
His eyes were filled with the vicissitudes of time.
He was unshaven, and his face could even be described as haggard.
If he hadn't appeared behind the Wu Zhong Bell at this moment.
Everyone would have thought this was a middle-aged, down-and-out man from the Mortal World.
But now, standing behind the Wu Zhong Bell, the golden Holy Body Dao Embryo power bloomed with billions of rays of light.
His might shook the clouds of the Nine Heavens, heaven and earth trembled together, and the universe quaked!
This god-like power formed a stark contrast with his haggard and down-and-out appearance!
He was none other than Wu Zhong Emperor!
"Great Emperor!"
"Wu Zhong Emperor!"
All living beings in the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain were first stunned, then suddenly burst into frenzied cheers!
Wu Zhong Emperor, a legend of an era, the legendary guardian of the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain, he had returned!
It was unimaginable, this kind of blood-boiling and heart-stirring excitement.
A legend that had been passed down through generations, now appeared alive before them!
He was no longer as handsome and divine, with unmatched grace, as he once was.
Now he even appeared somewhat ancient and down-and-out.
But that power that shook the clouds and awed the Nine Heavens could not be concealed.
Behind him, he also carried an ice coffin, always by his side.
It was precisely the ice coffin containing West Queen Mother.
"Chang Sheng Emperor, with me here, the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain will not tolerate your insolence!"
Wu Zhong Emperor's voice carried a hint of hoarseness.
Although he appeared down-and-out, he still possessed heaven-reaching Divine Power and world-shaking heroism!
"Wu Zhong, you are old. Is it because your heart has long since died? Having quelled one generation of turmoil, you are now powerless to turn the tide."
Even with Wu Zhong Emperor's reappearance, Chang Sheng Emperor's expression still did not change much.
Wu Zhong Emperor did not say much more.
He raised his palm, and the Wu Zhong Bell instantly moved with his strike.
Jun Xiaoyao's guess was correct.
This Wu Zhong Bell was actually like an alarm clock.
When the Gate to Immortality appeared, it would ring, reminding Wu Zhong Emperor that another era of turmoil was about to begin.
And now, with Wu Zhong Emperor's true body appearing, it undoubtedly gave the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain immense hope.
And the battle between Wu Zhong Emperor and Chang Sheng Emperor would decide the fate of all living beings in the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain!
