Chapter 301: The Power of the Starlight Imperial Bell

December 26, 2024

"Your Death Knight, Wang Junze, led the Great Profound Imperial Dynasty's army in a battle against the Starlight Imperial Dynasty, where two great generals of the imperial dynasties clashed in a fierce fight!"

"Your Death Knight, Wang Junze, relying on his exceptional talent in leading troops, ambushed and killed 300,000 soldiers of the Starlight Imperial Dynasty!"

"Your Death Knight, Gu Yu, secretly launched a surprise attack, killing 200,000 soldiers of the Starlight Imperial Dynasty!"

"Your Death Knight, Gu Yu, ordered an ambush, assassinating a Dao Palace Realm general of the Starlight Imperial Dynasty!"

"Your Death Knight..."

"Your Death Knight, Lin Shan, using formation techniques as his foundation, annihilated 200,000 soldiers of the Starlight Imperial Dynasty, causing the Starlight Imperial Dynasty to be enraged!"

"Your Death Knight..."

...

Gu Qingfeng sat calmly in the Gu Family Manor, observing the movements on the Death Knight panel, and thus, he understood the situation outside.

At this moment, with numerous Death Knights arriving, based on the current situation, even if the Starlight Imperial Dynasty truly entered the Ancient Beast Mountain Range, they would likely have to pay a heavy price.

If he were in charge of the Starlight Imperial Dynasty's army, he might have already been driven to a state of fury.

In fact, it was just as Gu Qingfeng had thought.

After the army had repeatedly suffered ambushes and interceptions, the commander, Jiang Chen, was thoroughly enraged. However, the ambushing cultivators were extremely cautious and careful, never engaging in direct confrontation with him.

As a result, no matter how furious Jiang Chen was, he couldn't find a way to deal with them.

When another ambush occurred, Jiang Chen finally lost control of his anger. He soared into the air, and a bronze ancient bell suddenly appeared. Immediately, terrifying blood energy was infused into it.

In an instant, the ancient bell vibrated.

The heavy tolling of the bell caused the sky to collapse, and the stars and heavens seemed to fall at that moment.

Ripples spread in all directions, causing space to shatter and crumble. Many cultivators hiding in the darkness paled when they witnessed this scene.

Some cultivators couldn't escape in time, and their bodies instantly exploded.

"Retreat!"

Ke Ze's expression changed drastically as he witnessed the scene before him, and he immediately retreated from the battlefield with Gu Yu.

Even with his Demi-Saint cultivation, he dared not confront the power of the bell for even a moment.

As they retreated, they saw the sky and heavens within ten thousand li turn to dust, the sunlight and moonlight disappeared, and the world seemed to be devoured by eternal darkness.

"What treasure is that, to possess such formidable power!"

After retreating from the battlefield, Gu Yu's face also showed shock. The power he had witnessed made his heart tremble. If Ke Ze hadn't led him away, he might have had to use his life-saving trump card.

Ke Ze spoke slowly, "The Starlight Imperial Bell!"

The Starlight Imperial Bell?

Hearing these four words, Gu Yu's expression became puzzled.

At this moment, Jiang Yuan also spoke up, "The Starlight Imperial Bell is a Quasi-Imperial Armament of the Starlight Imperial Dynasty. I never expected that Lu Zhen would be willing to spend such a hefty price and directly use a Quasi-Imperial Armament."

"In that case, the Divine Martial Dynasty will likely face trouble!"

There was no doubt about the power of a Quasi-Imperial Armament. Even if the Divine Martial Dynasty had a powerful cultivator on par with the Great Sage Realm, it would still be difficult to contend against the Starlight Imperial Dynasty.

With the might of the Starlight Imperial Bell, if a Demi-Saint were to use their life-saving treasure without regard for the cost, even a Great Sage could be annihilated.

This was the power of a Quasi-Imperial Armament.

"A Quasi-Imperial Armament!"

Gu Yu's expression also turned grim.

He hadn't expected the Starlight Imperial Dynasty to use such a formidable treasure.

Although Gu Yu had great confidence in Gu Qingfeng's strength, a Quasi-Imperial Armament was no ordinary weapon, and he didn't have much confidence either.

Especially after witnessing Jiang Chen's display of power, using only a fraction of the Quasi-Imperial Armament's strength to shatter the sky and heavens, that awe-inspiring might was enough to make one's heart tremble.

"Since Jiang Chen has a Quasi-Imperial Armament, we should head to the Divine Martial Dynasty first!"

Taking a deep breath, Gu Yu made his decision.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan's expression turned somber, "Gu Yu, at this moment, the Starlight Imperial Dynasty is determined to destroy the Divine Martial Dynasty. With the Quasi-Imperial Armament, the Divine Martial Dynasty's destruction is certain.

In this situation, even if we intervene, we may not be able to escape unscathed."

"The Divine Martial Dynasty has greatly helped me, and now that it faces danger, how can I stand by and do nothing? If you two don't want to take the risk, then I'll go alone."

"At that time, I, the disciple, will go to the Divine Martial Dynasty alone."

Gu Yu shook his head slightly, his expression resolute.

Hearing this, Jiang Yuan and Ke Ze exchanged glances, both showing helplessness.

Retreat!

That was impossible.

Unless Gu Yu returned with them, otherwise, they must protect him.

Primordial Thunder Deity Body!

This is the talent of a Great Emperor.

It was not easy for the Red Dust Immortal Sect to produce a talented cultivator with the potential to reach the Great Emperor Realm. He must not fall here.

So, Gu Yu and the two of them could only follow him to the Divine Martial Dynasty.

...

The shattered space was in chaos, and the lingering indestructible imperial might raged on without dissipating for a long time.

Jiang Chen held the Celestial Star Imperial Bell, his face slightly pale.

For him, activating the Celestial Star Imperial Bell was not an easy task.

If he were only at the Demi-Saint Realm, he might have been completely drained of all his strength by the Celestial Star Imperial Bell in an instant.

However, even so, Jiang Chen was severely weakened, as if he had just fought a life-and-death battle with a top-notch powerhouse.

Nevertheless, although he had consumed a lot of his energy, Jiang Chen's eyes shone brightly.

This time, the Celestial Star Imperial Bell had suppressed the entire area, and many hidden cultivators were directly killed, allowing Jiang Chen to finally release all the pent-up frustration in his heart.

He didn't care whether these cultivators who were killed were part of the mysterious force ambushing the Celestial Star Dynasty, nor did he worry that mistakenly killing them would cause trouble for the Celestial Star Dynasty.

An ancient imperial dynasty would naturally have the confidence to deal with everything.

Soon, the news of what happened here spread to all parties.

Various powers turned their attention to the location of the Celestial Star Dynasty's army.

"The Celestial Star Imperial Bell!"

"That Emperor Sovereign has even used such a supreme treasure, it seems he is determined to annihilate the Divine Martial Dynasty!"

"But I wonder if the Divine Martial Dynasty can withstand the might of a Quasi-Imperial Armament—"

The power of a Quasi-Imperial Armament was undeniable.

Even though Gu Qingfeng had the record of slaying a Great Sage, these cultivators still silently questioned whether he could truly withstand the Celestial Star Imperial Bell.

It was only because they thought of the destruction of the Ancient Wilderness Holy Land and the Heaven's Waste Seal falling into Gu Qingfeng's hands that they believed he might have a chance against the Celestial Star Imperial Bell.

If it weren't for the Saint King Armament in his possession, the other party would have absolutely no chance.

...

Great Void Holy Land.

Yan Lingyun looked at the news that had been sent back, and his expression became somewhat solemn.

"The Celestial Star Imperial Bell... I didn't expect the Celestial Star Dynasty to use a Quasi-Imperial Armament this time. This battle against the Divine Martial Dynasty might not end well for them!"

Although the Great Void Holy Land was an ancient holy land, it was naturally impossible to compare its foundation with that of the Celestial Star Dynasty.

The former had only produced Great Sage Realm powerhouses, while the latter already possessed the foundation of a Quasi-Emperor.

As ancient powers, the gap between them was astonishing.

At this moment, the faces of the other peak masters also looked somewhat unpleasant.

Jiang Chen's strike had caused the Great Void Holy Land to lose many cultivators.

"Sacred Monarch, I believe that in this matter, the Great Void Holy Land has only one choice, and that is to fully support the Divine Martial Dynasty. If the Great Void Holy Land stands by at this time, it will only displease both sides!"

Fu Shenjun spoke first.

"Moreover, Gu Xuan has already condensed the complete Heaven Phoenix Divine Body, and one day he will have the hope of attaining the Great Emperor Realm. This is an opportunity for the rise of the Great Void Holy Land."

"As for Gu Qingfeng, his strength is absolutely not as simple as it seems on the surface. Even if the Celestial Star Dynasty uses a Quasi-Imperial Armament, it doesn't mean they can truly defeat the Divine Martial Dynasty."

"Speaking of which..."

"Even if the Divine Martial Dynasty is destroyed, Gu Qingfeng may not necessarily perish."

"With his talent, as long as he doesn't die, when the great struggle prosperity arrives, he will undoubtedly become an invincible Great Emperor."

"The Great Void Holy Land only needs to befriend the Divine Martial Dynasty. Not only will we be able to restore our former glory, but even taking a step further shouldn't be a big problem!"

Fu Shenjun's expression was determined, as if he was completely on the side of the Divine Martial Dynasty.

Regarding this, the other peak masters and elders all understood.

After all, the Heaven Phoenix Divine Body of the Divine Martial Dynasty had joined the Ninth Peak. If one were to say which peak of the Great Void Holy Land had the closest relationship with the Divine Martial Dynasty, it would undoubtedly be the Ninth Peak.

In this situation, it was understandable for Fu Shenjun to support the Divine Martial Dynasty.

However, they also understood that Fu Shenjun's words were not without reason.

Don't be fooled by the Celestial Star Dynasty's aggressive approach this time; the Divine Martial Dynasty might not necessarily lose.

Every decision has its risks, and it's acceptable to take some risks when investing in a future Great Emperor.

Moreover, Gu Xuan is a disciple of the Great Void Holy Land.

If the Divine Martial Dynasty is destroyed, the Celestial Star Dynasty may not leave any hidden dangers.

But to say that they would abandon a Divine Body, the Great Void Holy Land would also find it unacceptable.

After all, if they were to abandon a Divine Body, the reputation of the Great Void Holy Land would be completely ruined, and there might not be any more heavenly geniuses visiting in the future.

Not only that,

Without the Divine Body,

The Great Void Holy Land would also lose any chance of rising again during the next great struggle prosperity.

No matter which aspect one considers, the Great Void Holy Land must firmly stand with the Divine Might Dynasty to maximize their interests.

"Senior Fu's words are reasonable. The Divine Might Dynasty has already formed an alliance with our Great Void Holy Land. Now that the Starlight Empire is invading on a large scale, the Great Void Holy Land naturally cannot stand idly by."

Yan Lingyun finally made the decision, and his words caused Fu Shenjun to secretly heave a sigh of relief.

Although the Ninth Peak firmly stood on the side of the Divine Might Dynasty, if this Sacred Monarch, Yan Lingyun, did not give his approval, relying solely on the Ninth Peak's foundation would be difficult to exert a significant influence.

After all...

Gu Xuan was the direct disciple of the Ninth Peak.

The relationship between them was extraordinary.

—

The Nine Provinces.

Divine Might Dynasty.

Gu Yang was the first to learn of the external matters.

"The Starlight Imperial Bell... The Starlight Empire is indeed ambitious, daring to use a Quasi-Imperial Armament to destroy our Divine Might Dynasty!"

His face darkened, and deep within his eyes, there was a hint of apprehension.

There was no other way.

The Quasi-Imperial Armament was extraordinary.

This was an unparalleled supreme treasure that even the Divine Might Dynasty did not possess.

Although Gu Yang was unsure of the extent of the Quasi-Imperial Armament's power, his control over the Divine Phoenix Tower, a Great Sage Armament, was already awe-inspiring.

The gap between a Great Sage Armament and a Quasi-Imperial Armament was significant, with a Saint King Armament in between.

The might of such a supreme treasure was absolutely extraordinary.

Thinking of this, Gu Yang personally went to the Gu Family Manor.

"Father!"

"What brings you here today?"

In the main hall, Gu Qingfeng raised a teacup and took a sip. The moment this spiritual tea entered his body, it transformed into vast spiritual energy, flowing into his limbs and bones, and soon after, it calmed down.

Although the spiritual tea was good, Gu Qingfeng was already a Ninth Level Sage.

The spiritual energy brought by this ordinary spiritual tea was hardly influential.

Usually, Gu Qingfeng drank this spiritual tea merely to satisfy his taste buds.

Speaking frankly, the taste of this spiritual tea was indeed extraordinary, incomparable to mundane tea leaves.

Looking at Gu Qingfeng's leisurely appearance, Gu Yang's initial tension dissipated.

Soon after, he calmed his mind and spoke, "The Starlight Empire has brought the Quasi-Imperial Armament on this expedition. With our current foundation, it's challenging to compete with such a supreme treasure.

Do you have any confidence in dealing with it?"

"I already know about the Starlight Imperial Bell. The Starlight Empire's foundation is indeed extraordinary, but although the Quasi-Imperial Armament is powerful, it also depends on who it faces.

Rest assured, I will personally take action in this battle. If they dare to step into the Ancient Beast Mountain Range, I will ensure they have no way back!"

Gu Qingfeng smiled faintly, and as he spoke his last words, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and a terrifying aura suddenly emanated from him.

Gu Yang felt as if an invincible Heavenly Blade was slicing through the void, causing his heart and soul to tremble.

Fortunately, this feeling came and went quickly.

When all the illusions disappeared, Gu Yang discovered that his back was drenched in cold sweat.

In that instant, Gu Yang truly thought he was about to die.

The more he witnessed Gu Qingfeng's strength, the more he felt reverence, and his heart was filled with awe.

"With Father's assurance, the Divine Might Dynasty can be at ease!"

"Go back, and everything will continue as usual!"

Gu Qingfeng's expression was calm.

Hearing this, Gu Yang rose to take his leave.

A moment later, the main hall was left with only Gu Qingfeng.

"I wonder if the Starlight Empire has an ancient Quasi-Emperor in existence. However, such powerful individuals would not act recklessly. Even if the Starlight Empire truly has such a foundation, as long as it's not a crisis of annihilation, I believe the Quasi-Emperor will not awaken!"

Gu Qingfeng pondered silently.

With his current strength, even with the Imperial Armament in hand, he had the confidence to face a Saint King Realm expert.

Only the Quasi-Emperor made Gu Qingfeng feel apprehensive.

After all, at this level, with his current Ninth Level Sage cultivation, even with the Imperial Armament, he might not be able to truly compete.

Therefore, Gu Qingfeng had always kept a low profile, silently accumulating strength.

His goal was to one day possess the power to sweep through the entire Ancient World.

Otherwise, if it were like the Starlight Empire, Gu Qingfeng would have already taken action alone, directly killing his way into Ancient Xingzhou and beheading Lu Zhen.

But now that the Starlight Empire had taken the initiative to attack, Gu Qingfeng had no reason to continue being a bystander.

Just as he had told Gu Yang, if the Starlight Empire's army dared to step into the Ancient Beast Mountain Range, Gu Qingfeng would ensure they had no way back.
