Ye Fan's Phenomenon, Wushi Bell Deity Appears!

Black Emperor pounced directly.

But before he could touch Ye Fan's physical body, a brilliant spiritual light burst forth from within him, then transformed into streaks of Great Dao Runes that struck the heavens. The void was torn open, and an Immortal Dao Aura seeped out from within, as if some supreme existence was trying to step forth from it.

Black Emperor was sent flying hundreds of meters away. His originally black fur was now stained with patches of crimson, blood beads constantly seeping from his body.

Yet he paid no heed to his own injuries, staring dumbfounded at the spiritual light.

"What is this thing?... Even when my master was alive, This Emperor never saw such an omen!"

"Is Ye Kid about to ascend to immortality directly?!"

Duan De swallowed hard, staring at Ye Fan as Immortal Qi poured into his crown, too shocked to speak.

Just then.

From within Purple Mountain, an ancient bell toll rang out. Emperor Dao Laws spread forth, shrouding the entire mountain and concealing all the strange phenomena.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The urgent bell continued to sound without cease. The Purple Mountain range trembled incessantly, and terrifying roars rose and fell from within.

But with the suppressing intent carried by the bell's toll, calm was soon restored.

"What's going on? Could an Ancient Great Emperor be about to reappear in the world?"

Duan De had initially felt some relief that those eerie sounds had vanished, but when he turned to see Purple Mountain already enveloped in a dense Supreme Dao Aura, he spoke in terror.

"Woof, Master... no, Old Bell is waking up!"

Black Emperor's eyes glistened with tears, but he quickly snapped out of it and kept barking.

"Old Bell? Could it be the Wushi Bell?"

When Duan De heard this and recalled the legends about Purple Mountain, his legs went weak.

The Wushi Bell was said to be the Supreme Dao Emperor Weapon of the Wushi Great Emperor.

It contained a deity within, engraved with Great Emperor Dao Principles, possessing supreme divine might.

One could even say that a Supreme Dao Emperor Weapon was no less than a second Great Emperor.

But normally, the Emperor Weapon Deity was in a slumbering state. To awaken it, unless a Great Emperor personally acted, only by exhausting the full foundation of a Holy Land could it be barely achieved.

And now, the Wushi Bell was about to awaken without absorbing any resources at all?!

No.

Perhaps it had never been asleep at all. Could it be that the Wushi Great Emperor was still alive in this world?!

Thinking this far, Duan De slammed on the brakes.

He couldn't keep thinking. Great Emperors were unfathomable, possessing all kinds of miraculous abilities. If he continued, he might meet with misfortune.

"Woof woof woof! Old Bell, you're awake? Could it be that Master really isn't dead?"

An ancient bell of simple design burst forth from Purple Mountain, appearing before everyone in an instant.

Black Emperor showed no fear at the sight, instead rushing over on all fours in great excitement to ask.

"I do not know. But I can sense that the Great Emperor is indeed still alive. As for where he is, I do not know either!"

A blurry human figure appeared within the Wushi Bell. The Great Dao rumbled, ten thousand paths sang in unison, and heaven and earth seemed to wail in that moment. Only when his gaze fell upon Black Emperor did the strange phenomena subside and vanish, a trace of gentleness in his eyes.

"I knew it, I knew Master couldn't have died so easily, hahaha!"

Black Emperor stood frozen for a moment, then laughed and cried at the same time, looking half-mad.

The Wushi Bell's gaze swept past him and landed on Duan De, startling a cold sweat out of him.

"This humble Daoist is just passing through... passing through!"

Duan De gave a few awkward laughs, his expression tense.

The Wushi Bell said nothing more, finally fixing his gaze on Ye Fan, whose body was covered in Immortal Light.

"Immortal... Qi!"

After a long silence, the Wushi Bell slowly uttered these two words.

Back then, he had followed the Wushi Great Emperor to break through the Immortal Ascension Path. Though he had not entered the Immortal Realm, the Immortal Qi that had leaked out was still fresh in his memory.

But even the Immortal Qi of the Immortal Ascension Path was like a firefly compared to the bright moon next to this.

What shocked him most was that the source of all this was the cultivation technique Ye Fan was practicing.

The Wushi Bell fell silent as well. He knew all the secrets of the world, yet he had never heard of such a technique.

Now that Ye Fan was still cultivating, he simply waited by his side to protect him.

After all, if news of this technique got out, it would surely draw the covetous eyes of the Supremes, and might even cause the Dark Calamity to arrive early.

"Supreme Dao Aura? This is... the Wushi Bell!"

Ye Fan had just finished his cultivation when he was startled by the Supreme Dao Aura. It was only when he saw the Wushi Bell that he breathed a sigh of relief.

He had been surrounded by Supreme Dao Aura just now and thought the Ji Family had come to kill him with their Supreme Dao Emperor Weapon.

The Wushi Bell was an ownerless Emperor Weapon, so he didn't need to worry too much.

What puzzled him was, how had the Wushi Bell gotten out? Wasn't it supposed to be suppressing those ancient royal clans?

Ye Fan shot a meaningful glance at Black Emperor and the others, but they gave no response.

"Ye Fan, where did the cultivation technique you just practiced come from?"

The voice from within the Wushi Bell startled Ye Fan. The Xuanhuang Mother Qi Cauldron instantly appeared above his head, countless mountain-like strands of Xuanhuang Qi shielding him within.

But no sooner had he finished setting up his defense than Black Emperor came to his side and bit down on his thigh.

"Let go, you damned dog!"

"Woof, show some respect to the Great Emperor!"

Black Emperor growled through clenched teeth.

After this farce, Ye Fan finally learned about the matter of the Wushi Bell Deity.

"This technique was passed down by the Heavenly Emperor!"

Ye Fan replied respectfully.

Wushi Great Emperor had left a resounding mark in the annals of history. Among all the Human Race Great Emperors' contributions to humanity, he could rank in the top three!

For this Great Emperor's imperial weapon, Ye Fan held great reverence and had no intention of hiding anything.

"Heavenly Emperor?!"

A cry of surprise came from within the Wushi Bell.

The next moment, a figure stepped out from it.

This person's appearance was identical to Wushi Great Emperor's—it was the Deity taking physical form.

It had followed Wushi Great Emperor for ages and knew many ancient secrets.

More importantly, it understood that the title "Heavenly Emperor" was no simple form of address; it carried immense karmic consequences.

Even when Wushi Great Emperor was unmatched in the world, he had never called himself Heavenly Emperor.

And now a Heavenly Emperor had appeared, even passing down a supreme technique?

Could it be... that chaotic times were coming again?

Ye Fan looked at the stunned Wushi Bell, thought for a moment, then brushed his hand across his brow. A Visualization Diagram brimming with supreme aura appeared in the air.

This sight left the Wushi Bell and Duan De and the others momentarily dazed.

"This is the technique. If any of you wish to cultivate it, you may."

Great Qin!

In the majestic Xianyang Palace, countless Iron-Blooded Soldiers bearing halberds patrolled the palace grounds through the night.

These were all veterans from the army who could hold their own against ten men. A hundred of them in formation could withstand ten thousand, and every assassin who had come to kill the First Emperor had fallen to their hands.

Within the palace guarded by the Imperial Guard, the First Emperor of Qin sat before his Dragon Desk. Candlelight flickered not far away, illuminating the entire hall. He paid no heed to the mountain of Memorials piled on the desk, instead resting his head on one hand and dozing off. The candle flame cast his shadow long across the screen behind him.

The entire hall at this moment felt vast and silent.

Ever since he had unified the Six States and become the Eternal Emperor, the remnants of the Six States had never given up their assassination attempts, forcing him to decree that no one could approach within a hundred meters of him.

As a result, now in the palace, there was only him alone.
