Chapter 2160 - Essence Gatherer (2) (1/2)
DONG! DONG! DONG! DONG! DONG! DONG!
The reverberating ring a vibrant bell penetrated through the universe.
They were just six simple sounds, but they alone caused a population of trillions to freeze in their tracks and look into the skies.
”That's…”
”The Challenge Bell…”
How long had it been since the Challenge Bell rung for so long?
A single resonance meant a challenge of the Foundation Realm. Two resonances meant a challenge of the Meridian Formation Realm. Three resonances meant a challenge of the Essence Gathering Realm. Four resonances meant a challenge of the Saint Realm! Five? The Celestial Realm! And six?! The Dao Formation Realm!
How could this happen today of all day?
Every five hundred years, this tournament would take place. This time, it was the Profound Earth Sect's turn to host. But who knew that before the four Heads of their central powers could end the formalities and ring the starting bells of this legendary tournament, someone would ruin the proceedings entirely?!
Master Ores, the Palace Master of the Profound Earth Sect, suddenly gripped his throne. To his sides, the three Heads of the Sona, Nova and Ceres Clans sat without a care in the world. Why would they care? After all, it wasn't their Clan's Challenge Bell that had been rung.
One might think this wasn't a big deal, but the reality was far from this. Was it really possible for a normal bell to make a sound that resonated throughout an entire universe?
The so-called Challenge Bell was actually known as the Profound Resonance Bell. It was a Supreme Grade Treasure that represented the prestige of the Profound Earth Sect! Its challenge couldn't be ignored, or else it would be directly impugning on their own Faith!
”Is the Profound Earth Sect filled with cowards?”
The voice was soft, yet somehow resonated along with the Profound Resonance Bell's ring.
It was only then that those present understood another problem…
With how mighty the Profound Resonance Bell was, it was grandly displayed for all to see. They were the Profound Earth Sect! Who would dare to steal or even think to touch their things outside the bounds of reason?
As the center piece of the Sect, of course it took center stage while they were hosting an event as important as the Universe Tournament. So the question was simple… How had this challenger rung the bell without them first noticing his presence?!
