Chapter 408 - Gods of the Bai Zhe Clan (1/2)
Zhong Yue's vision then changed again, and the palace and Shao Hao Bell disappeared. He returned to the sea of icy fire, and the Bai Zhe Clan clan masters that were frozen in ice reappeared in his sights.
Dang——
Suddenly, a vast and powerful energy seeped through the dimensions and surged into the Shao Hao Bell that Zhong Yue visualized.
The visualized Shao Hao Bell was a replica of the Shao Hao Bell itself, and thus, it was just like part of the Shao Hao Bell's body. The legendary divine weapon used Zhong Yue as a conduit to transfer its power into the Shao Hao Bell that Zhong Yue visualized.
It was all because the visualized art was based on the Shao Hao Bell, or else, even such a strong divine weapon like it wouldn't be able to transfer any of its power over.
The energy was vast and mighty, tens of thousands of time stronger than Zhong Yue's own visualized Shao Hao Bell. Sensing the incoming energy, Zhong Yue heaved a breath of relief. He now had the confidence to traverse through this sea of ice flame!
"Have you seen that little fatty?"
In Zhong Yue's psyche ocean, Xin Huo asked, "How is it, did the little fatty say anything? Did he mention my name to you?"
Zhong Yue nodded, and an ambiguous expression crossed his face. He said, "Your name really helped me a lot. Oh, Xin Huo, have you borrowed Shao Hao Bell's powers before?"
Xin Huo then laughingly, "Of course I have, more times than I can count! Remember the last time I helped you fight against Sha Qishan and the Xia Clans? I borrowed its power back then. However, he and I are life-long friends, so I don't have to notify him whenever I need his powers!"
"Well, about that … I think it's better to ask first before you do it the next time." Zhong Yue winked his eyes and advised.
"No need for that, doing so will only pull our friendship further apart!" The little flame, however, did not listen at all.
Zhong Yue turned speechless and ignored the proud little flame. He cast the skill and cover Bai Shuyue with the Shao Hao Bell as well. The two then walked into the sea of ice flame. Immediately as they stepped foot in the sea of ice flame, the many totem patterns pulled the ice flame together and rained attacks down on the two intruders.
The translucent bell was taking hundreds of attacks every second. It slowly revolved while fending off the incoming attacks.
The bell itself was over 60 feet tall, and its unassuming and translucent appearance made it seem like it was unable to block anything at all. But that wasn't true at all, every single strike from the ice flames would just be blocked right outside of the Shao Hao Bell, Zhong Yue and Bai Shuyue did not even feel a single breeze inside of the Shao Hao Bell at all.
However, Bai Shuyue's heart was thumping, even though they were left unscathed inside of the visualized bell, what if the bell were to suddenly be crushed by the attacks somewhere in the middle of the sea of ice flame?
Out there, those frozen Bai Zhe beasts could only reach this stage because they were the strongest Bai Zhe of their time, they were the clan masters, and their strengths were beyond doubt.
But Zhong Yue and Bai Shuyue were merely two Inner Core Qi Practitioners. Although they were on the brink of breaking through to Heavenly Dharma, they still weren't able to survive the ice flames!
Right now, the bell surface would ripple like water when an attack landed on it, the ripples on the bell surface were growing in number, and looking out from the inside of the bell, it felt like the bell was a curved river and the attacks were raindrops.
The attack rate was steadily increasing as they walked further into the flame sea. Bai Shuyue was incredibly terrified, but to her surprise, no matter how many strikes landed on the bell, it remained unscathed through all of it!
Gosh, is this really a skill?
Her little brain went blank. It was hard to imagine that this was a skill of an Inner Core Qi Practitioner, being able to fend down the attacks that could even kill the Imminent Deity Qi Practitioners!
There shouldn't be such a heaven-defying skill in this world!
Bai Shuyue calmed herself and thought, Senior Martial Brother Zhong must have some other means to enhance this bell skill, there is no other explanation for this!
She was, after all, a young lady with high intelligence, it didn't take long for her to deduce it, but even so, she could never begin to fathom what was actually augmenting that skill!
One must say that even Zhong Yue himself was worried at first, but once the Shao Hao Bell blocked all of the attacks, he relaxed and laid back.
The two of them continued like this for a few hundred miles before suddenly, Zhong Yue sensed a very faint divine aura. Although it was weak and faint, it was still very distinct in his senses.
Such a godly aura was a far cry from the aura emitted from divine weapons. This was from a god!
How weird, are there still gods in the ice palace?
Zhong Yue was puzzled, Just how strong are the gods, the demon god in Eight Barren managed to clamp me in the air just with his arcane energy. He didn't even need to be present at the time or use any other medium. If there really is a god in this ice palace, who can it be?
Soon, Bai Shuyue also sensed it and became as curious as Zhong Yue. As they walked further in, the godly aura kept getting stronger.
They had traveled for another hundred miles, and the godly aura was so powerful as if a god were standing right in front of them!
While around them, the ice flames were still continuously striking, countless ripples were raised on the bell surface as the attacks continued landing on it!
