"Impossible! How could you possibly have a Heavenly Mechanism Token?"
Poison Sect headquarters, Chu Yun Empire.
As soon as Ice Venerable spoke, the words "Heavenly Mechanism Token" sent shock through the other Dou Zong experts.
The killing intent on their faces vanished the moment those words were uttered. In its place, besides astonishment, was fear.
There was no other reason: the power behind a Heavenly Mechanism Token was simply too terrifying.
Whenever a Heavenly Mechanism Token was activated, blood had to be spilled. If its holder remained dissatisfied, the enemy's entire sect would be exterminated.
Since the Heavenly Secret Tower's founding, Heavenly Mechanism Tokens had been activated three times.
The first time was nine hundred years ago. A peak Dou Zun expert had angered someone holding a Heavenly Mechanism Token. When the token was activated, that Dou Zun expert threw caution to the wind and killed its owner. In the end, a sect comparable to a first-rate power vanished overnight-not even a chicken was left alive.
The second time was five hundred years ago. An unaffiliated two-star Dou Saint expert had bullied a small sect that possessed a Heavenly Mechanism Token. When the token was activated, the Dou Sheng expert fled at once.
But the following morning, that two-star Dou Saint expert's corpse was delivered to the small sect's gates.
The third time was a hundred and fifty years ago. A sect called the Flamefire Sect rivaled first-rate powers like Ice River Valley in strength. Its young sect master raped a girl in the bloom of youth. Unable to bear the humiliation, she took her own life.
Her father then activated the Heavenly Mechanism Token in his possession. That very night, over three thousand people throughout the Flamefire Sect were slaughtered. Whether Dou Zun or Dou Zong, not one survived.
