Chaos Bell

Biodata

Power Progression

Background

The Chaos Bell is one of the twin Martial Souls Cao Kun receives when his sign-in system activates. Innately accompanied by chaotic primeval qi, it complements his body-focused Indestructible Battle Body: the Bell specializes in chaos, suppression, and space-time, while the Body Martial Soul supplies physical strength and resilience 1.

After his battle with Tang Hao, Cao Kun tells Zhao Wuji and Flender that Mount Buzhou’s secret arts evolved an ordinary bell Martial Soul into the Chaos Bell. This is part of his explanation for his hidden strength, rather than the awakening account given in Chapter 1 1 16.

Appearance

As a Martial Soul Avatar, the Chaos Bell takes the form of an enormous bell suspended above Cao Kun 9.

• Body — Deep yellow, with a dark-gold glow when its power subsides 9 11.
• Surface — Covered in ancient runes that shift through its chaotic light 9.
• Opening — Appears unfathomably deep; a vortex within it devours and dissolves hostile energy 9 10.

Abilities & Skills

Suppression and energy absorption

• Its toll suppresses violent Soul Power and steadies distorted space 8.
• Against Tang Hao’s Clear Sky Hammer Avatar, its aura reduces the hammer’s might, while its chaotic halo dismantles and absorbs the force of a direct strike 9.
• Chaos Bell: Suppress turns its toll into an offensive shockwave. The Bell then strikes and devours the weakened hammer avatar, shattering it and injuring Tang Hao through the backlash 10.

Chaos Domain

• The domain breaks down, devours, and assimilates hostile energy. It dissolves Tang Hao’s Slaughter Barrier rather than merely holding it back 10.

Soul protection and marks

• Indestructible Heart Bell is listed as a soul-imprint and protection skill. Cao Kun creates hidden sub-imprints from the Bell’s origin that nourish their hosts’ souls but are also tied to oaths 18 58.
• A Chaos Bell mark binds Xiao Wu to Cao Kun; he warns that betrayal or disclosure of his secrets will activate it 41 42.
• He later places Bell-shaped marks on the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape, establishing a binding connection with them 76.
• During the refinement of Dragon God’s Blood, the Bell steadies Cao Kun’s Divine Soul and suppresses restless divinity 90.

Other recorded skills

• Indestructible Golden Bell provides absolute defense; Primordial Unity Strike is a burst-damage skill. Space-Time Stasis and Myriad Manifestations Return to the Void are also listed among the Chaos Bell’s skills 58.
• When Tang San probes Cao Kun with the Purple Demon Eye, he encounters the Bell’s underlying laws and suffers a severe backlash. Cao Kun restrains most of it 29.

Major Arcs

• Battle with Tang Hao — Cao Kun manifests the Bell against the Clear Sky Hammer, defeats its avatar, and counters Tang Hao’s Slaughter Barrier with the Chaos Domain 8 9 10.
• Mount Buzhou’s guardians — The Bell’s toll and pressure force the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape to the ground before Cao Kun recruits and marks them 75 76.
• Cao Kun’s breakthrough — The Bell anchors his Divine Soul while he refines Dragon God’s Blood and reaches the Quasi-God Realm 90.
