Chapter 1320 - The Immortal Bell is Sentient

Clang, clang, clang!

In the deepest part of the treasury, the colossal silhouette of an immortal bell emerged with its resonant chimes.

Nine human figures, radiating bursts of immortal light, appeared around it like silent guardians.

Moreover, when the immortal bell appeared, the treasure demon spirits in the treasury prostrated toward it, as if they had seen their king.

“That is... the Nine Immortals Bell?!”

“The Nine Immortals Bell! That is the Nine Immortals Bell! It’s appeared!”

“It’s appeared! After all this time, it’s finally appeared!”

“No one dare compete with me. The Nine Immortals Bell is mine, and I’ll kill any who try!”

“Charge, the Nine Immortals Bell is mine.”

All of a sudden, numerous powerful and terrifying auras surged into the sky from different directions in the treasury, shaking the river of stars above.

Everyone was agitated when they saw the silhouette of the immortal bell.

An ancient saying came to mind: the Nine Immortals Bell was one step to immortality.

Its meaning was simple: whoever obtained it could ascend to immortality in a single leap.

Void Immortals were the strongest existences under the Immortal realm. Despite containing the word “immortal,” Void Immortals weren’t real immortals. There was a vast gulf between them and the real thing, as between an emperor and a beggar in the mortal world.

With the Nine Immortals Bell, however, even if one weren’t in the Immortal realm, they would possess attacking power on par with the Immortal realm. They would have power far beyond a Void Immortal for sure.

Saying that almost everyone here, including those “weaklings” in the Greater Legendary realm, wanted the Nine Immortals Bell.

The first group inside had searched endlessly without success. Rumors of the Nine Immortals Bell not being in the treasury were already circulating.

But now, the bell had appeared!

In an instant, almost everyone in all corners of the treasury put down whatever they were doing and shot toward its location, lightning-fast, as if a single heartbeat’s delay would cost them the prize.

Figures streaked across the sky like dazzling shooting stars.

“So many people have entered!”

Chen Fan glanced around. Over a hundred people, most at the Invincible Legendary realm, with several Void Immortal experts among them, had entered the treasury.

He also didn’t waste any time and rose from the ground, rushing toward the Nine Immortals Bell.

He soon saw a vast plaza ahead with numerous experts surrounding an incomparably resplendent, enormous ancient bell.

This ancient bell was over ten thousand feet tall. It sat there, looking incredibly terrifying. The chime of the bell lingered in the air, and immortal light filled the sky. Various figures could even be seen within the immortal light.

“So, this is the Nine Immortals Bell?”

Chen Fan’s heart trembled slightly, feeling somewhat shaken.

It was the first time he had seen an immortal artifact this massive, countless times larger than his Vicious Suppressor saber. There was no comparison.

Around the bell, the gathered experts burned with excitement, their blood boiling in anticipation.

“This is the Nine Immortals Bell! The bell that can grant me immortality in one step!”

A Void Immortal level expert’s eyes burned red.

Age was catching up to him; at most, he had a thousand years left. That wasn’t nearly enough to reach the Immortal realm.

If he obtained the Nine Immortals Bell, however, he could attain immortality in one step and even glimpse the secrets of the immortal realm, thus establishing his immortal platform and advancing into the Immortal realm.

Immediately, this Void Immortal expert waved his hand and grabbed at the Nine Immortals Bell.

But just as his palm was about to touch it, the Nine Immortals Bell thundered with a deafening chime. Immortal light burst forth, condensing into formless power that slammed into his hand.

Boom, tch!

𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

The large hand crumbled almost instantly, and even the Void Immortal expert himself was obliterated, erased without a trace.

“

Hiss, hiss

.”

This scene caused the crowd’s scalp to turn numb, especially those who wanted to take the Nine Immortals Bell forcefully. They all broke out into a cold sweat.

They could imagine that if they had made the move earlier, they would have ended up just like that person, erased by the Nine Immortals Bell and leaving nothing behind.

At this time, an ear-piercing noise rang out. A youth dressed in traditional clothing stood proudly in the void, his face full of mockery.

“Fool!”

“The nine craftsman-maniacs of the manor forged this high-grade immortal artifact by sacrificing themselves, fusing their flesh, blood, and immortal souls within it. It is sentient; no ordinary fool can gain its approval. Trying to seize it by force? Ridiculous.”

Faces in the crowd shifted.

A sentient immortal bell? Didn’t that mean its ownership depended entirely on fate?

A Void Immortal expert with a sturdy figure asked, “Kid, since you know so much, tell us, how can we take the Nine Immortals Bell?”

That youth in traditional clothing smiled and said, “Why should I?”

His words caused the sturdy man’s face to darken. A brat in the peak Invincible Legendary realm dared to speak this way to him. Was he tired of living?!

“Brat, you’d better think carefully about what you’re saying. I can kill a brat like you with a single slap. Do you want to die?” threatened the sturdy man coldly.

However, the traditional youth remained unfazed, disregarding the sturdy man’s threat. Whether he was confident in his strength or hiding some unfathomable method, no one could tell.

Then another voice cut in.

“You oaf, you really are dumb. That kid said that the immortal bell is sentient. Sentient, you understand what that means? Forcing the bell is simply courting death. There’s only one path to take, and that is to communicate with its immortal souls. If you can obtain the immortal souls’ recognition, you can take the Nine Immortals Bell!”

“I see... so there’s still a chance for us.”

Many people in the Invincible Legendary realm secretly sighed in relief.

If whoever was stronger could obtain the Nine Immortals Bell, the Invincible Legends would have had no hope.

After all, there were more than ten Void Immortals-level experts present.

“Alright, since that is the case, let me give it a try.

Hmph

, I don’t believe that with my cultivation level, I can’t receive the immortal souls’ recognition. The Nine Immortals Bell is destined to be mine!”

That sturdy man immediately walked over to the bell and began communicating with its immortal souls.
