Two Half-Immortal Artifacts

When a person is unafraid of death, the power they can unleash far exceeds their own imagination. If this is true for ordinary people, how much more so for Void Returning Stage cultivators?

Once they knew they were doomed, these monks from Heavenly Dragon Temple resolutely chose to Self-Detonation. Their idea was that killing one would break even, and killing two would be a bonus. Such fierce and reckless killing terrified the Cultivator brought by True Person Changfeng.

"What should we do?" Looking at the group of crazed Heavenly Dragon Temple monks, many powerful figures looked at each other in bewilderment. When these monks of Heavenly Dragon Temple went mad, they were truly more terrifying than Demonic Path Cultivator. The ferocity they exuded was something that even Demonic Path Cultivator might not possess.

"You need not worry. His Your Majesty has bestowed upon me Half-Immortal Artifact- level defensive treasure, the True Person Changfeng Eastern Emperor Bell, just in case," said Master Changfeng, as the ambush experts were momentarily intimidated by the fierce aura of the Heavenly Dragon Temple True Person Changfeng. With a flick of his wrist, an ancient golden bell appeared in his palm.

The Eastern Emperor Bell was a gift from the Great Qin Emperor to Elder Changfeng as a precaution. Elder Changfeng originally thought that with their strength, they would be more than capable of slaughtering the people of Heavenly Dragon Temple. However, he did not expect that it would instead arouse the ferocity of the monks of Heavenly Dragon Temple, who went on a rampage of Self-Detonation. Even Elder Changfeng was horrified.

"The Eastern Emperor Bell!?" Upon seeing the ancient golden bell appear in Elder Changfeng's hand, the remaining dozens of Void Returning Stage experts were filled with surprise and joy. They had naturally heard of the Eastern Emperor Bell.

The Great Tang Dynasty is said to possess Three Great Half-Immortal Artifact: the Dragon Binding Rope, the Rainbow Skirt and Feather Robe -Demon Mirror, and the Rainbow Feather Robe. Similarly, the Great Qin Empire also boasts three renowned treasures: the unparalleled defensive Eastern Emperor Bell; the Half-Demon Artifact, the Demon Emperor Spear, forged from the blood of countless emperors after Ying Zheng slaughtered the Six Nations Imperial Clans; and the Heaven-Turning Seal, used by the Great Qin Imperial Family as the Imperial Jade Seal of the State.

"The Eastern Emperor Bell? Haha, with the Eastern Emperor Bell's protection, are we afraid of these guys?" Seeing that the True Person Changfeng Great Qin Emperor had bestowed the Eastern Emperor Bell upon Changfeng Zhenren as a precaution, the morale of the remaining dozens of Void Returning Stage experts was greatly boosted.

"The Eastern Emperor Bell?" Upon seeing the ancient golden bell in the hand of True Person Changfeng, the monks of Heavenly Dragon Temple paled. They had heard of the Eastern Emperor Bell, a Half-Immortal Artifact, but they never expected that the Great Qin Emperor Eastern Emperor Bell actually bring it out today. It seemed that he was determined to annihilate Heavenly Dragon Temple.

"Zen Master Da Wu, the spirit of your Heavenly Dragon Temple is no less than that of the Demonic Path Cultivator. Today, I have truly come to look at your Heavenly Dragon Temple in a new light. But unfortunately, the situation today is already set in stone, and it cannot be changed by your simple beliefs," said True Person Changfeng, holding the Eastern Emperor Bell, regaining his confident demeanor as he addressed Zen Master Da Wu.

"Hmph! Having the Eastern Emperor Bell in hand is indeed awe-inspiring, but do you really think that a simple defensive Half-Immortal Artifact can turn the tide of the battle?" Although the Eastern Emperor Bell in the hands of True Person Changfeng made Zen Master Da Wu feel alarmed, it was wishful thinking to think that he could make the monks of Heavenly Dragon Temple despair.

"Indeed, a single Eastern Emperor Bell is not enough to turn the tide. But have you forgotten? Kunlun Mountain, as the head of the Nine Great Sects, also possesses a Half-Immortal Artifact. As the Sect Master of Kunlun Mountain, I naturally have the authority to wield this Half-Immortal Artifact," said True Person Changfeng with a faint smile on his face.

"..." Upon hearing this, Zen Master Da Wu and the others were shocked. Kunlun Mountain also possessed a Half-Immortal Artifact, which was not a secret in the Cultivation World. During the battle, the high monks did not see True Person Changfeng take it out and assumed that he had not brought it. However, they did not expect that he had even brought Kunlun Mountain's Half-Immortal Artifact.

As he spoke, True Person Changfeng tossed the Eastern Emperor Bell in his hand. The bell grew larger in the wind and emitted a deep, resonant sound in the sky. The sound seemed to resonate deep within people's hearts, making their heartbeats beat in unison with the sound of the Eastern Emperor Bell.

As the majestic and deep bell tolled, a layer of pale golden defensive shield emanated from the dozens of Void Returning Stage powerhouses True Person Changfeng. This was the Eastern Emperor Bell, which simultaneously provided defensive shields to so many Cultivators.

The defensive shields bestowed by the Eastern Emperor Bell appeared on the bodies of these Cultivators, and their faces were filled with joy. With these defensive shields, their defenses would be stronger in battle, and they might even be able to save their lives if faced with the Self-Detonation of Cultivator of the same level.

However, despite the Eastern Emperor Bell's formidable defense, the high monks of Heavenly Dragon Temple, as well as those Void Returning Stage powerhouses, still kept their eyes on True Person Changfeng. Besides the Eastern Emperor Bell, had he brought any other treasures from Kunlun Mountain with him?

After activating the defensive capabilities of the Eastern Emperor Bell, Elder Changfeng, under everyone's watchful eyes, flipped his hand, and another ancient mirror appeared in his palm. This mirror exuded a magnificent aura, no less powerful than the Eastern Emperor Bell, clearly indicating that it was also a treasure at the Half-Immortal Artifact Grade.

"Kunlun Mirror..." Looking at the ancient mirror in Elder Changfeng's hand, Zen Master Da Wu's face was extremely ugly. He muttered to himself, "Kunlun Mountain possesses a powerful Half-Immortal Artifact called the Kunlun Mirror."

"Hahaha, with two Half-Immortal Artifacts in hand, why don't you bald monks of Heavenly Dragon Temple surrender?" A Cultivator at the Great Accomplishment Stage behind True Person Changfeng laughed triumphantly as he saw True Person Changfeng take out the Eastern Emperor Bell and the Kunlun Mirror, two supreme treasures.

Half-Immortal Artifact are absolutely top-tier powerful treasures in the Cultivation World. One such artifact is enough to turn the tide of battle. Now that the True Person Changfa has taken out two, the remaining dozens of Void Returning Stage experts were greatly encouraged. Looking at the high monks of Heavenly Dragon Temple, their eyes were filled with absolute confidence.

In contrast to the confidence and joy of these Cultivators, the high monks of Heavenly Dragon Temple had extremely ugly expressions. With two semi- Half-Immortal Artifact in hand, the Eastern Emperor Bell and the Kunlun Mirror, even if they risked their lives to Self-Detonation, perhaps everyone in Heavenly Dragon Temple would perish here today.

"Oh? So proud of just two Half-Immortal Artifacts? Well then, can we be proud too?" But at that moment, a voice suddenly rang out between Heaven and Earth, and then five figures shot in like Lightning, their auras incredibly powerful...

"That voice... is it Fellow Daoist Zhuge?" At this crucial moment, upon hearing this voice, Zen Master Da Wu's face lit up with surprise and joy. Had they finally arrived? Reinforcements from the Rebel Army?

"Zhuge Xiang!?" However, True Person Changfeng, who had seemed confident of victory, turned pale upon hearing Zhuge Xiang's voice.

Back in the Great Qin Imperial Palace, Zhuge Xiang's strength was so formidable that even True Person Changfeng had to take him seriously. Now that Zhuge Xiang has arrived, who knows what unforeseen complications might arise?

The five figures were Zhuge Xiang, the Great Elder of the Asura Sect, the Golden Body Bodhisattva, Ao Dong of the East Sea Dragon Palace, and Jin San of the Myriad Monster Kingdom. All five possessed terrifyingly powerful auras, far surpassing those of ordinary Great Accomplishment Stage Cultivator...

"Zen Master Da Wu, we've come to your rescue. I didn't expect your situation to be better than I imagined," Zhuge Xiang said to Zen Master Da Wu after arriving before the eminent monks of Heavenly Dragon Temple and observing the current situation.

Indeed, judging from the situation, the monks of Heavenly Dragon Temple were generally weaker than these ambushers, but Heavenly Dragon Temple only lost forty or fifty people, while the other side lost the same number. So it seems that the two sides were evenly matched? Originally, Zhuge Xiang thought that these people from Heavenly Dragon Temple should have been the ones being crushed and slaughtered in one fell swoop.

"Where is the relief?" Zen Master Da Wu shook his head with a wry smile at Zhuge Xiang's words, saying, "It was only because dozens of powerful members of my Heavenly Dragon Temple Self-Detonation- destructed that we were able to hold out until your rescue. Otherwise, by now, we would already be a defeated and devastated force."

"Dozens of powerful figures Self-Detonation!?" It has to be said that even the Golden Body Bodhisattva and the others changed their expressions drastically upon hearing the words of the Zen Master Da Wu, staring in horror at the monks of Heavenly Dragon Temple.

These guys are terrifying. Once provoked, they'll collectively Self-Detonation without a second thought, even taking the enemy down with them. No wonder they've managed to hold out this long.

"Why are there only so few of you?" Compared to the shock of Zhuge Xiang and the others, Zen Master Da Wu looked at the five of Zhuge Xiang and said with some confusion, "The entire Heavenly Dragon Temple went to Seeking Aid, but only five people have come?"

"That's right, there are only five of us, but that should be enough," Zhuge Xiang replied earnestly, without offering much explanation to the Zen Master Da Wu's confusion.

"What? Do you think you can change the current situation with just a few of you?" Although the appearance of Zhuge Xiang and the others was unexpected by True Person Changfeng, he didn't take it to heart and laughed, seeing that Zhuge Xiang and True Person Changfeng group numbered only five.

However, the smile on True Person Changfeng's face soon froze. As the Sect Master of Kunlun Mountain, even though he didn't recognize Ao Dong of the East Sea Dragon Palace, he did recognize the Great Elder of the Asura Sect and Jin San of the Myriad Monster Kingdom. The strength of these two was comparable to his own. More importantly, when Elder Changfeng's gaze fell on the Golden Body Bodhisattva, his expression changed drastically.

During the war in the Great Qin Imperial Palace, the Golden Body Bodhisattva possessed cultivation levels comparable to those of Gods and Buddhas of all Heavens. Even True Person Changfeng was easily defeated by the Golden Body Bodhisattva. Naturally, True Person Changfeng could not forget him. However, he never expected that the Golden Body Bodhisattva would actually come in person. (To be continued...)
