Chapter 469: Gift from the Immortal Emperor, Fifth Layer Immortal King Realm

The Heaven Burying Demon Spirit's attack slammed into the chaos bell, producing a world-shaking boom.

The chaos bell vibrated violently, but it still steadily blocked the attack.

Zhou Chen activated the Innate Primordial Qi Origin Scripture.

Countless strands of Origin Immortal Qi surged from his body, transforming into a golden pillar of light that charged toward the Heaven Burying Demon Spirit.

The Heaven Burying Demon Spirit let out a miserable shriek as the Evil Demon Power on its body was continuously purified by the Origin Immortal Qi.

However, its strength was too formidable.

Even when purified, it could still recover rapidly.

Zhou Chen frowned slightly.

"It seems I must use that move."

He took a deep breath and activated the Space-Time Law within his body.

The Space-Time Law surged into the chaos bell.

The chaos bell erupted with unprecedented power.

Countless profound patterns emerged on the bell's surface.

These patterns were like living things, wandering restlessly across the bell.

Zhou Chen raised a hand and pointed.

"Space-Time Banishment!"

As his voice fell.

The chaos bell emitted a melodious chime.

Wherever the sound passed, the Void Realm suddenly twisted.

A massive rift appeared in front of the Heaven Burying Demon Spirit.

Inside the rift was a chaotic dimensional turbulence.

Within the turbulence, countless Law fragments collided with each other, radiating an aura of destruction.

The Heaven Burying Demon Spirit tried to dodge, but it was already too late.

It was sucked into the rift by a terrifying suction force.

"No… no…"

The Heaven Burying Demon Spirit let out a shrill scream as its body was torn by the dimensional turbulence.

However, this move could only last for a few breaths.

After a few breaths, the rift slowly closed.

The Heaven Burying Demon Spirit reappeared, but the Evil Demon Power on its body had weakened by more than half.

Without hesitation, Zhou Chen cast Space-Time Banishment again.

Once, twice, three times…

Each time, the Heaven Burying Demon Spirit's aura weakened further.

Finally, after the tenth Space-Time Banishment.

The Heaven Burying Demon Spirit's aura had weakened to the Third Layer Immortal King Realm.

Zhou Chen waved his hand.

The qingping sword turned into a streak of light, piercing through the Heaven Burying Demon Spirit's head.

Puchi!

The sword light pierced the skull, completely annihilating the demonic obsession within.

The Heaven Burying Demon Spirit's body froze in place, then turned into specks of starlight, dissipating into the air.

After the Heaven Burying Demon Spirit dissipated, the entire Sea of Obsession began to tremble.

Countless images rushed in like a tide, eventually converging into an illusory figure.

The figure was exactly how the Heaven Burying Immortal Emperor looked in life.

He wore golden armor, his face was resolute, and his eyes were full of exhaustion and relief.

"Thank you…"

The Heaven Burying Immortal Emperor's voice echoed in Zhou Chen's mind.

"I fought a bloody battle to the death against the Outer Domain Evil Demons, yet I was corroded by the Evil Demon Power and transformed into a demon spirit."

"For ten thousand years, my benevolent side has struggled against the demon spirit, but I was never able to suppress it."

"Today, you have helped me settle this concern."

"I have no way to repay this kindness."

As his voice fell.

A surge of incomparably pure Immortal Emperor Origin Power poured out from the Void Realm.

The Origin Power turned into a golden pillar of light, enveloping Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen felt the Immortal Spiritual Power in his body begin to skyrocket wildly.

The Small World expanded and expanded again…

His internal Small World, which was already vast, now expanded by another hundred million miles.

The World Tree grew frantically, its canopy blotting out the sun.

Countless Laws emerged from the Void Realm, weaving into a net within the Small World.

Time Law, Space Law, Life-Death Law, Five Elements Law…

Countless Laws intertwined, finally forming a complete system of rules.

Mountains and rivers began to appear in the Small World.

Countless Spiritual Plants and trees grew upon the land.

The sun, moon, and stars appeared in the sky.

Even some lower-level lifeforms were born within it.

Zhou Chen's cultivation also achieved a Breakthrough because of this.

Fourth Layer of Immortal King Realm!

Fifth Layer Immortal King Realm!

The Origin Immortal Qi in his body had expanded countless times compared to before.

The strength of his Immortal King Body also reached a terrifying level.

At this moment, Zhou Chen could probably crush his former self with a single finger.

The Heaven Burying Immortal Emperor's figure grew increasingly faint.

"Little friend, I have one more thing to tell you."

"The Outer Domain Evil Demons have not completely disappeared."

"They are only temporarily dormant, waiting for an opportunity to make a comeback."

"If you have the chance, little friend, please be extra careful."

As his voice fell.

The Heaven Burying Immortal Emperor's figure completely dissipated, turning into specks of starlight that merged into the Void Realm.

The Sea of Obsession also collapsed along with it.

Zhou Chen felt his vision go dark, and when he opened his eyes again, he was back in front of the stone stele.

The cracks on the stone stele had disappeared, and the body of the stele emitted a faint golden light.

Clearly, after the Heaven Burying Demon Spirit was suppressed, the Seal became stable once more.

Zhou Chen took a deep breath and put away the chaos bell.

Wangcai floated to his shoulder, his little face full of excitement.

"Master, Master! I absorbed that qian inscription, and my strength has recovered a lot!"

"Now, I can perform even more Divine Abilities!"

Zhou Chen nodded and sent his Divine Sense into the chaos bell.

Sure enough, the power of the chaos bell was several times stronger than before.

Especially his control over the Space-Time Law, which had reached a terrifying level.

"Not bad."

Zhou Chen nodded with satisfaction.

Just as Zhou Chen was preparing to leave, he keenly sensed an ancient fluctuation lingering in the Void Realm where the Heaven Burying Immortal Emperor had dissipated.

The fluctuation was very weak, yet it carried a sense of summoning him.

Zhou Chen activated his Divine Sense and probed toward the source of the fluctuation.

The Void Realm suddenly split open a gap.

An illusory figure walked out from the gap.

The figure wore a grey robe, his face was blurred, and his features were indistinguishable. He radiated Death Qi, yet he also carried an indescribable majesty.

"Who are you?"

Zhou Chen spoke, his voice calm.

The illusory figure nodded.

"A successor of the Tomb-Guarding Clan."

His voice was raspy, as if squeezed out of his throat.

"I am the 372nd generation successor of the Tomb-Guarding Clan, having guarded the Barbaric Graveyard for a hundred thousand years."

"The obsession of the Heaven Burying Immortal Emperor has finally completely dissipated today."

Zhou Chen did not speak, simply waiting quietly for what he had to say next.

The illusory figure continued:

"The Magic Treasure in your hand, if I'm not mistaken, should be the chaos bell. I have already sensed it."

"That Inscription is called the qian inscription, one of the eight initial inscriptions of heaven and earth."

Zhou Chen raised an eyebrow.

"What are initial inscriptions?"

The illusory figure nodded.

"When heaven and earth first opened, the Chaos Origin divided into eight Inscriptions, corresponding to Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, and Dui."

"These eight Inscriptions contain the most fundamental Law power of heaven and earth."

"The qian inscription in your hand represents space-time and suppression."

"If you can collect all eight Inscriptions, you can reshape the chaos bell's complete form."

"At that time, the power of the chaos bell will be enough to suppress all evil demons."

The illusory figure's voice was very heavy.

"By evil demons, do you mean the Outer Domain Evil Demons?"

Hearing this, Zhou Chen's heart stirred.

"Correct."

"Outer Domain Evil Demons are terrifying existences born from devouring the Origin of worlds."

"Their goal is these eight Inscriptions."

The illusory figure fell silent for a moment, then slowly nodded.

"What do they want the Inscriptions for?"

Zhou Chen's expression changed slightly. Could the world-destroying giant hand from ten thousand years in the future in the Heavenly Dao event be related to the Outer Domain Evil Demons?

The illusory figure raised his head, his gaze piercing through the void to look into the distance.

"Pollution."
