Chapter 1490 The Great Void Bell
Chapter 1490 The Great Void Bell
Before long, Lu Chen carefully arrived at the mountainside, where the environment was similar to what he had seen before.
A thin layer of mist permeated the surroundings, as if shrouding everything in a veil of mystery.
The ground was covered with moss and dead leaves, with a few oddly shaped boulders lying among them, seemingly weathered by countless years.
However, despite searching everywhere, Lu Chen did not find anything unusual.
"Strange, the bell sound just now clearly came from here, so why can't we find anything now?"
"Did I hear wrong? No, that terrifying sense of power was so real; it couldn't be an illusion."
Lu Chen frowned in thought, his eyes scanning his surroundings, trying to find a clue.
Knowing that a bell capable of producing a sound that nearly cost him his life must be an invaluable treasure, how could Lu Chen bear to miss it?
In order to find out the truth as soon as possible, Lu Chen steeled his heart and decided to take a risk. He knew that doing so was extremely dangerous; if his divine sense was destroyed, he would be severely injured at best, and might permanently lose his ability to perceive anything at worst.
But he had no other choice; if he wanted to uncover the secrets of this mountain, he had to take the risk.
So he took a deep breath and quickly extended his divine sense.
However, the moment Lu Chen's divine sense extended out, his expression suddenly changed.
"Pfft..." A mouthful of blood spurted out, and Lu Chen's face instantly turned as pale as paper.
This was because his divine sense was indeed being strangled by various laws, resulting in a severe backlash. Fortunately, just as his divine sense was about to be completely annihilated into fragments, an image flashed through his mind.
On the other side of the mountainside, there was a flat area about the size of a basketball court. Lying on the ground were three figures, the three Dao Integration Realm experts who had led the team earlier.
Judging from their condition, they were clearly seriously injured. At this moment, they were staring at a large bell, their eyes filled with fear and despair.
Lu Chen could tell at a glance that the bell was of extraordinary origin. Its surface was engraved with complex and difficult-to-understand runes, and it exuded an ancient and powerful aura as it shimmered with light.
He immediately realized that the three men must have been injured because of the bell.
So Lu Chen carefully flew closer, each step taken with extreme caution, for fear of being attacked again.
Before long, when Lu Chen finally landed on that flat ground, an ancient and weathered aura, along with endless Daoist energy, swept towards him.
This aura startled Lu Chen. He felt that if he refined these Dao essences, he would definitely be able to break through from the Dao Cultivation Realm to the Dao Transformation Realm.
Unfortunately, now was not the time; the scene before him made him gasp in shock.
The three figures were an elderly man with white hair, a graceful woman, and a middle-aged man. Their faces were as pale as paper, and their bodies were covered with wounds of various sizes, clearly indicating that they had suffered serious injuries.
Not far from them stood an ancient bronze bell, radiating a suffocating sense of oppression.
Upon seeing this, Lu Chen's eyes lit up immediately. He was 100% certain that this large bell was the treasure he was looking for.
"What are you doing, kid? If you're looking to die, don't drag us down with you."
Just as Lu Chen slowly walked towards the large bell, the middle-aged man on the ground suddenly struggled to his feet and roared at him with all his might.
His voice was filled with urgency and fear, as if he was terrified that Lu Chen would approach the bell.
The other two also looked at Lu Chen with fear, clearly not wanting him to get close to the bell.
Upon seeing this, Lu Chen's heart stirred slightly. He carefully examined the three of them and found that their injuries were indeed quite severe, leaving them with almost no strength to fight again.
So he responded firmly, "It's none of your business. You don't want this treasure, so why can't I take it?"
Lu Chen knew that the reason these three were so nervous was because they were terrified by the previous bell attack, but Lu Chen did not think he would repeat the same mistake. At worst, he would just consume another leaf from the Chaos Tree.
Seeing Lu Chen continue to approach, the middle-aged cultivator roared again:
"Damn it, why can't you understand? This Taixu Bell is an ancient supreme artifact, sealed here by a powerful restriction. If you get close, you will trigger the restriction, and then we will all die."
At this moment, his face was filled with despair and anger. The old man and the woman had already begun to circulate their internal energy to heal their injuries; clearly, they were extremely dissatisfied with Lu Chen's actions, yet powerless to stop him. They only wanted to recover quickly so they could kill this young man before them.
"The Great Void Bell? Then I'll gladly accept it."
Lu Chen sneered, but he had his own plans. He knew that if he got any closer, he could use his divine sense to bring the bell into the Golden Pearl World.
Despite the middle-aged monk's repeated warnings, he still decided to take the risk.
However, just as Lu Chen continued to approach the mysterious Taixu Bell, a blurry figure suddenly appeared, blocking his path like a ghost.
The figure moved so fast that its true appearance was not even visible; it appeared in front of Lu Chen in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, the man threw a punch at Lu Chen without hesitation. The terrifying power instantly stirred up the space, causing the space to suddenly become violently distorted.
The sudden turn of events made Lu Chen's pupils shrink, because he saw that the person who came was actually the same big man from before.
You must know that the other party is a powerful expert in the Dao Integration Realm, who is two realms higher than him.
Without time to think, in that split second, Lu Chen almost subconsciously activated the Chaos Dao Life Technique and then suddenly struck out with his palm.
The two forces collided violently in mid-air, unleashing a blinding light and a deafening roar.
The powerful impact scattered everything around, sending dust flying everywhere.
Lu Chen felt a terrifying force coming from his palm, and he was involuntarily sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground.
The burly man didn't gain any advantage either. His fist was injured by the force of Lu Chen's counterattack, and he also staggered back a few steps. Clearly, this attack had also caused him some damage.
Lu Chen quickly got up from the ground, his eyes filled with vigilance. However, to his surprise, his opponent must have been seriously injured, otherwise he would definitely not be his match.
"Could it be because of the bell earlier? Yes, the space here is so small, the Great Han must have been affected as well. Does that mean I have a chance to help?" Lu Chen wondered to himself.
The burly man was also surprised to see that he had failed to kill Lu Chen.
He quickly checked the injuries of his three companions and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that they were not in mortal danger.
Just then, two more figures rapidly flew through the air and quickly landed on the open ground...
