Chapter 715 - 457: Sealed Memories! Mending the Heavens! (Part 2)
Even after battling for a period, the Star Universe Celestial Venerable might secure a victory.
However, the true intention of Immortal Venerable Huihuang is to stall the Star Universe Celestial Venerable.
"It seems I must resort to using the Innate Supreme Treasure."
"Misty Bell."
The Star Universe Celestial Venerable’s eyes slightly squinted.
Within him, his Immortal Soul began to fluctuate incessantly.
The people of Ten Thousand Yuan Heaven only know about the Extreme Emperor Weapons.
Yet, in the eyes of the Celestial Venerables, Emperor’s Weapons are merely powerful Artifacts they can utilize.
Only treasures incubated by the universe can truly reverse the overall situation.
Ten Thousand Yuan Heaven originally possessed just one Innate Supreme Treasure.
That is the Misty Bell.
Legend has it that the Ancient Emperor obtained the Misty Bell during his youth.
Using it, he fought his way to dominance, ruling over the stars, becoming the first Celestial Venerable of Ten Thousand Yuan Heaven.
Thus began an era of rapid development for Ten Thousand Yuan Heaven.
Even after the Ancient Emperor achieved enlightenment, the Misty Bell remained his trump card.
The only comparable treasure was the All Heavens Treasure Mirror.
However, the All Heavens Treasure Mirror only had the ability to traverse worlds, able to defy distance by anchoring worlds, considered extraordinary.
Yet, essentially, it lacked powers.
It possesses no attack, defense, support capabilities—its only ability is to traverse worlds.
Using the All Heavens Treasure Mirror, Ten Thousand Yuan Heaven began a rapid development era of low-cost plundering of other worlds.
Then, with the Misty Bell, they achieved military suppression.
Rumors tell that before invading the Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm, Ten Thousand Yuan Heaven invaded several Great Thousand Worlds.
Among them were powerhouses comparable to the Ancient Emperor.
Unfortunately, those Great Thousand Worlds were too weak, never having incubated any Innate Supreme Treasures.
The Ancient Emperor destroyed many powerhouses using the Misty Bell.
It was only upon reaching the Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm that the Misty Bell was unexpectedly shattered.
Apart from the Ancient Emperor, no one knows how the Misty Bell was broken.
Fragments of the Misty Bell were scattered throughout the Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm.
"But after being nurtured by the Heavenly Dao for tens of thousands of years."
"The Misty Bell is almost fully repaired."
"Though Jiuzhou might have obtained the Misty Bell, I’ve merely borrowed your resources to complete the final repairs."
"Now, even if the Misty Bell can activate sixty percent of its power, it’s more than enough."
The Star Universe Celestial Venerable’s eyes flickered with light.
His reason for leaving the Misty Bell with the Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm was to leverage its characteristics to steal the Jiuzhou Heavenly Dao’s power.
The Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm was indeed fooled.
Originally, he wanted the Jiuzhou Heavenly Dao to continue nurturing the Misty Bell.
Then, once the Misty Bell was fully repaired, he intended to launch a desperate counterattack.
However, now it seems that time waits for no one.
"The Ancient Emperor coexisted with the Misty Bell for tens of thousands of years and comprehended a set of Cangmang Nine Techniques."
"I’ve received his legacy and can retrieve the Misty Bell anytime with this Spell!"
The Star Universe Celestial Venerable suddenly smiled.
His hand formed complex hand signs.
"Huihuang, do you recognize this power?"
"Previously, the Ancient Emperor used this to slay you; today I will use it to slay you!"
The Star Universe Celestial Venerable laughed heartily.
A faint Misty Aura began to drift from his body.
Meanwhile, an ancient aura emanated from him.
However...
Several breaths of time passed.
Nothing happened.
"What?!"
The Star Universe Celestial Venerable’s eyes widened, and he turned sharply.
Through the endless Star River space, he saw the star sealing the Misty Bell in the Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm had already shattered.
A plain old bell flashed light.
Yet above the bell sat a figure in black robes, emitting a Misty Aura even more intense than the Star Universe Celestial Venerable.
"Impossible!!!!!"
The Star Universe Celestial Venerable had no time to be angry.
A special ripple erupted within the Ten Thousand Yuan Heaven.
Both the Star Universe Celestial Venerable and Immortal Venerable Huihuang simultaneously looked towards the Apocalypse Rift.
At this moment, the Apocalypse Rift was completely shattered open.
The Apocalypse Rift appeared in countless eyes.
In an instant, all the immortals of the Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm changed their expressions drastically.
As immortals, they had somewhat heard of the Apocalypse Rift.
But they had completely sealed this memory.
The concept of the Apocalypse Rift spreads like a virus; once spread, the fracture uncontrollably expands and swells.
The ways to know the Apocalypse Rift include hearing, seeing, and knowing.
In an instant, the Apocalypse Rift began to swell violently.
Within, it seemed a creature was slowly emerging, with half a shoulder already exposed.
The fleets nearby, whether the Jiuzhou Fleet or the Ten Thousand Yuan Heaven Fleet, could only hazily see the ultimate black mark.
Yet in an instant, countless heads exploded, scattering red and white matter.
The Divine Souls of those with high Cultivation twisted and collapsed.
Such is the price of gazing upon the Apocalypse Rift.
The Microdust Golden Immortal retracted all his power.
He calmly looked at the Apocalypse Rift.
Saying, "Everyone retreat."
This is part of the calculated contingency plan.
The Apocalypse Rift is highly likely to be sealed, allowing Ten Thousand Yuan Heaven’s power to suppress it continuously.
But if an accident occurs.
The high-tier cultivators of Jiuzhou Realm can retract and preserve living forces.
Continuing to let Ten Thousand Yuan Heaven handle the issue.
The Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm might simply lay down, or wait for a Daluo to resolve it later.
At least this way, Jiuzhou can avoid disaster.
This is why the Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm initially sought a scapegoat, but upon encountering Ten Thousand Yuan Heaven, wouldn’t let go.
Due to the special nature of the All Heavens Treasure Mirror, Ten Thousand Yuan Heaven was too far from Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm, far enough that many immortals venturing to other Great Thousand Worlds hadn’t heard anything about it.
Even if a calamity occurred, it wouldn’t affect Jiuzhou.
In the next second, both the Microdust Golden Immortal and the Dark Heaven Golden Immortal’s expressions changed dramatically.
Because at some point, a hand extending from the rift revealed an eye.
The eye was dull.
Yet both Golden Immortals felt themselves locked by something.
"Damn it."
"It’s actually true..."
The Microdust Golden Immortal’s eyes were filled with emotion, lacking calm.
"We are being watched."
"An unknown entity behind the Apocalypse Rift."
Rumor has it that many Great Saints of the Demon Race fell this way.
But at least, many sleeping Ancient Immortals in the Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm have preserved living forces, allowing for recovery in ten thousand years.
This might be the optimal outcome.
The Dark Heaven Golden Immortal pulled the Microdust Golden Immortal, looking towards the Apocalypse Rift.
Her face showed hints of suspicion.
"That is..."
"Indeed, rumors state the Xuanyuan Sword contains Heaven-Mending Stone powder, when Xuanyuan Sword emerges, the sky cracks again, with that entity..."
........................
In front of the Apocalypse Rift.
Zhong Heng looked at the rift; the River Map had already manifested around him.
Origin power enveloped Zhong Heng, protecting him from harm.
"Damn it, I’m going to die again!"
"Zhong the Kid, looks like we failed," Kong Xuan cursed.
"But perhaps it’s fine, I didn’t see this Apocalypse Rift change with the brothers back then, but today I got to see it."
Kong Xuan did not hear a response from Zhong Heng.
Looking around.
He noticed a woman had somehow appeared beside Zhong Heng.
Kong Xuan’s pupils contracted.
"You..."
Zhong Heng also looked blankly at the woman.
"Liul... Sister Liul."
His sealed memories were unlocked; Zhong Heng didn’t know when he had forgotten such memories.
Even achieving Immortality hadn’t brought back these memories.
Liul looked at the rift, then at Zhong Heng.
With a gentle smile, she said:
"You and Little Feng are quite alike."
"Yet you’re more prone to causing trouble."
Feng, the surname of Fuxi in legends.
"I’ve forgotten many things."
"Little Peacock, you seem to know my identity."
"But upon seeing this rift, I seem to recall something."
"It’s called the Heaven Mending Skill."
"Zhong Heng, thank you for the tales you’ve brought me, we may meet again someday."
Liul’s figure began to fade gradually.
Turning into Flowing Light, it surged into Zhong Heng’s mind.
A unique Divine Technique appeared in Zhong Heng’s mind.
Its name: Heaven Mending Skill.
However, the Heaven-Mending Skill requires the Heaven-Mending Stone, which is not present here.
