In order to snatch back the Supreme Emperor Bell, the Taiyi Saint Heir didn’t hesitate, directly chasing into the Illusion Array. The Illusion Array left behind by the Artifact Spirit was never meant to test anyone inheriting Ge Tian’s legacy, but rather to kill those who stole the Supreme Emperor Bell. The newborn Artifact Spirit killed by the Taiyi Saint Heir had naturally shown false behavior before; how could a newborn Artifact Spirit willingly recognize someone else as its master? It would certainly prefer freedom, so the Illusion Array it spoke of was just a ploy to kill both the Taiyi Saint Heir and Ye Qiu. It was totally unexpected that the Taiyi Saint Heir would suddenly attack it. Now, Ye Qiu snatches the Supreme Emperor Bell and enters the Illusion Array at once. Once inside, he realizes the place is filled with hidden dangers. A blood shadow attacks, making Ye Qiu’s heart leap; before he can evade, he’s hit. A powerful force instantly strikes him flying, and Ye Qiu spins a few times in the air. The blood shadow pursues, and Ye Qiu sees clearly it’s very peculiar: a humanoid form, but neither human nor beast. Ye Qiu dares not be careless, immediately counterattacking with the King Yan’s Fury. The blood shadow dodges several times, but Ye Qiu gets close, and with close-range use of Nine-Colored King Yan’s Fury, finally shatters the blood shadow. Ye Qiu breathes a sigh of relief; he doesn’t have time to inspect his surroundings and immediately activates the Great Turtle Breath Evasion Technique, concealing his aura because he briefly notices the numerous blood shadows around, enough to make one’s scalp tingle. Once his aura is hidden, the blood shadows don’t come towards Ye Qiu, allowing him to relax. "The Illusion Array is truly full of hidden dangers," Ye Qiu laments, beginning to survey his surroundings. He discovers numerous stone pillars here, but the mist is too thick to see far enough. Ye Qiu leans against a stone pillar, which is carved with intricate patterns, although many areas are eroded, with gaps or even varying degrees of cracks. Blood shadows occasionally drift before him, weaving between the stone pillars like guardians of this place. Ye Qiu can’t fathom what these things are; for now, as long as he isn’t attacked by them, it’s fine. Ye Qiu takes out the Supreme Emperor Bell, now resembling a tinkling bell, miniaturized in his palm. "Taiyi Saint Heir has killed the Artifact Spirit; now, with no Artifact Spirit, the Supreme Emperor Bell is easier to control." Ye Qiu immediately binds it with blood, to avoid any mishaps. Even though the Artifact Spirit is gone, which significantly diminishes the Supreme Emperor Bell’s power, if the Artifact Spirit were still there, without genuinely accepting him as master, it wouldn’t be a good thing. As long as the Supreme Emperor Bell is given time, it should be able to nurture a new Artifact Spirit, which would also be under Ye Qiu’s control. Thinking this way, the Taiyi Saint Heir has helped him solve the problem. With blood dripping on the Supreme Emperor Bell, Ye Qiu’s consciousness immediately sinks into it, simultaneously receiving a lot of information in his mind. After a while, Ye Qiu returns to his senses, suddenly his face changes: "Oh no!" He suddenly realizes that at the moment when the Artifact Spirit retracted the Supreme Emperor Bell, Earth’s aura was no longer shrouded by the Supreme Emperor Bell, exposed in the galaxy. Surely many strong beings would discover Earth. "Supreme Emperor Bell, rise, and cover the aura of Heaven and Earth!" Ye Qiu quickly performs the Supreme Emperor Bell, not daring to delay even a bit; otherwise, if any powerful entities descend upon Earth, it will be an apocalyptic disaster. Power pours in, and the Supreme Emperor Bell expands instantly, rising into the sky, and leaps out of the Illusion Array, unfolding golden rays once again. In an instant, Earth’s aura is cloaked once more, hiding a planet from the galaxy. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝕟𝕖𝕥 Little did he know, the galaxy was already filled with various flying carriages, with many significant figures seated on them. Many powerful beings have gathered, their aura roaring, as if the whole world is trembling. "Eh? How did it disappear?" someone on a flying carriage exclaimed in doubt. "Old hag, have you forgotten? That planet is Ge Tian’s homeland; even if he’s dead, he wouldn’t easily let me enter. Anyway, the younger ones have been there for a thousand years. Once the supreme treasure is in our hands, this place holds no significance for us," another voice came from the opposite carriage, the figure inside unclear. "Hehe, you’re reminding me; my clan’s genius is right there. I hope he can bring the supreme treasure back." "That planet doesn’t just have your clan’s genius; my Moluo Sect’s Holy Son is also there." "Old devil, your sect’s Holy Son hasn’t entered the top twenty, can’t compete with my clan’s genius." "Old hag, indeed, our sect’s Holy Son isn’t the strongest, but your clan’s genius isn’t much better; all ten Holy Sons are here, with them, I don’t see your clan’s genius having a shot." Bickering among the big names is commonplace, after all, they’re old rivals competing, occasionally mocking and ridiculing each other. Some turn a blind eye to the quarrel between these two old monsters, uninterested, while others enjoy watching the drama. At this moment, a streak of light flies in, in an instant, a figure stands in the void. This is a middle-aged man, dressed in a purple luxurious garment, with a solemn face, having an aura of natural authority; with his arrival, those two quarreling old monsters immediately stop. "Grand Elder of Donghua Mountain!" "This guy actually came personally. Tsk... But indeed, his son, Donghua Holy Son ranks third among the ten Holy Sons; his presence here isn’t surprising." Behind the ten Holy Sons are ten great forces. In the ancestral lands, they all hold significant prestige, which is why with the arrival of Donghua Mountain, others immediately fall silent because the middle-aged man’s identity is special, and his power is extraordinary. "This Donghua Mountain’s Grand Elder has countless offspring, but only Donghua Holy Son is promising, deeply loved by his father. He came at once, as the legend goes, spoiling this youngest son a great deal," someone whispered. The appearance of Donghua Mountain’s people stirred quite a commotion, though these strong beings, despite their might, cannot meddle in Earth’s supreme treasure contest. "Unfortunately, it only appeared for a short five breaths. Considering Ge Tian’s tactics, a few young ones have descended there. Wonder who will claim the supreme treasure." With the news of Earth’s appearance spreading in the universe, more powerful beings emerge one after another, gathering together. Meanwhile, on Earth, high-level officials in various countries are holding meetings because the images returned by satellites capture incomprehensible scenes. These images undoubtedly overturn human understanding. European countries declare to the world the discovery of aliens. Later, Eastern countries also confirm the existence of aliens, suggesting all countries unite to respond to the sudden extraterrestrial incident outside of Earth. For a time, leaders of various countries convene, and the whole world is shrouded in a tense atmosphere.
