After seeing that Great Bell, Ling Tian quickly noticed something. The dozen or so cultivators at the Thirty-fourth Heaven of Near-Saint were scattered around it, but all of them kept their distance. Several even remained at the edge of the space created by the bell.

Those alone are enough to withstand Space Shatter, and they still have strength to spare. In that case, they could naturally get closer to the bell," Chang Xiangshou said.
