Luo Feng, standing alongside the Tiger Thorn King, was startled. Upon closer inspection, the black crystal sphere appeared ordinary on the surface, but its energy fluctuations revealed its extraordinary nature.
“It’s Flame God Core, and a very high-grade one at that,” Luo Feng thought inwardly. “It’s definitely higher-grade than the one I previously purchased!” The Flame God Core he had bought for eight billion points, which was comparable to the self-destruction of a King-level immortal expert, was clearly inferior to the one before him.
Classified by attributes, there were also ‘Thunder God Cores,’ ‘Water God Cores,’ and so on. However, in terms of equal explosive power, Flame God Cores were the cheapest, making them the most popular. Still, each had its own strengths. Thunder God Cores, Water God Cores, and others had unique advantages and were important in certain situations, so naturally some experts would purchase them.
“Hahaha…” A deep, sonorous laughter rang out, reverberating within the chest cavity of the Cangold King.
Yet the Purple Bell King held the Flame God Core in his hand.
“Threatening me?”
“You’re threatening me?” The Cangold King’s voice thundered, his towering height allowing him to look down on the Purple Bell King. “Just because you have that Flame God Core in your hand? Ha! This Flame God Core… must be your famous trump card ‘A-812’ grade Flame God Core, right? I’ve heard that you’ve faced several life-or-death crises and always pulled out this Flame God Core to scare your opponents, letting you escape several disasters. Now you’re trying to scare me with it again?”
The Purple Bell King muttered softly, his voice shrill. “A-812 Flame God Core, an extremely high-end product among Flame God Cores, has the explosive power equivalent to three times that of a peak King-level immortal’s self-destruction. Just this single Flame God Core… consumed a vast portion of my wealth back then.”
“A-812?” Luo Feng listened with interest.
The higher the explosive power of a Flame God Core, the higher its price.
One comparable to a high King-level immortal’s self-destruction only cost eight billion points, but this A-812 Flame God Core would cost him 12 billion points to purchase. The price the Purple Bell King paid was likely even higher… such a massive sum of wealth could almost bankrupt an immortal King. With such wealth, many experts would rather buy treasures to enhance their strength or purchase powerful weapons. Very few would choose to spend it on a Flame God Core.
“You’re right.”
“I have indeed escaped several disasters with it.” The Purple Bell King continued in his shrill voice. “I believe this time, I can escape another disaster.”
“It doesn’t matter. It doesn’t pose much of a threat to me.” The Cangold King said confidently.
“Three times the explosive power of a peak King-level immortal’s self-destruction… of course, it can’t kill you, Cangold King. But in such a confined space, I’m sure it can destroy 5% to 10% of your immortal body.” The Purple Bell King looked at the Cangold King. “You’re already injured. If you’re injured again, it will take a long time to recover.”
The Cangold King nodded slightly. “Well said!”
The Cangold King turned to Luo Feng. “Human, this Purple Bell King is troublesome. I wouldn’t mind killing you first.”
“Hmph.” Luo Feng remained silent.
…
The atmosphere in the treasure chamber seemed to freeze. The Purple Bell King, Luo Feng, and the Tiger Thorn King, the weaker ones, all looked at the Cangold King. In fact, the Cangold King’s previous threats were meant to force Luo Feng and the others to reveal their hidden cards. If they revealed something frightening, the Cangold King would back down.
If Luo Feng and the Purple Bell King didn’t have any powerful hidden cards, the Cangold King would strike!
This behavior was quite normal before a battle between super experts.
After all, those who had cultivated to this level were almost all beings who had trained for millions or even billions of years. Even if they could overpower an opponent and wanted to kill them, they would first try to force them into submission. If they launched a killing move immediately, it might push their opponent to desperately pull out a terrifying Flame God Core, resulting in both of them dying in an explosion, which would be a great pity.
Given the possibility of mutual destruction, experts generally didn’t want to fight each other.
“Unfortunately, your threats are too weak.” The Cangold King smiled brightly. “Then… you will die!”
“Attack!” The Purple Bell King shouted telepathically.
“Kill!” The Tiger Thorn King instantly ignited his immortal body.
Luo Feng and the others, the weaker ones, immediately understood the Cangold King’s final decision… to kill them! Even if they were to die, they wouldn’t let the Cangold King have an easy time. Although the Tiger Thorn King, the Purple Bell King, and Luo Feng seemed powerless against the Cangold King, it was like three ants fighting an elephant.
“Boom~~~” Endless lightning spread throughout the treasure chamber, centered around the Cangold King.
“Kill!”
The Cangold King held a lightning spear, already igniting his immortal body, causing energy fluctuations that made Luo Feng and the others tremble.
“The Cangold King is igniting his immortal body, aiming to end this quickly and kill us with minimal cost.” The Purple Bell King telepathically communicated to Luo Feng and the Tiger Thorn King. “Don’t think too much, use all your hidden cards!”
“Ahh!!!”
The Tiger Thorn King let out an angry, unwilling roar. Already severely injured and nearly dormant, he was like an ant trying to shake a tree, only able to bitterly and angrily ignite his immortal body in a full explosion. In his unwilling and furious roar, the energy explosion instantly filled the treasure chamber, though its power was only about 20-30% of Qiu Chika’s previous self-destruction.
The Tiger Thorn King… perished!
“Fool.” The Cangold King paused slightly, completely unimpressed by the Tiger Thorn King’s actions.
“Go!” The Purple Bell King shouted desperately.
At this moment, the Purple Bell King’s eyes were already filled with madness, but he couldn’t urge Luo Feng to fight, as Luo Feng was not an immortal soul and couldn’t ignite his immortal body to fight.
“Die!” The Cangold King’s eyes showed a cold, superior gaze.
“You’re really useless, human.” The Purple Bell King’s previous fear and madness completely disappeared, replaced by coldness. Suddenly, a mottled, ancient purple bell appeared on the surface of his skin. The bell was covered with dense, mysterious ancient characters, at least ones that Luo Feng didn’t recognize.
The ancient bell emitted a pressure that made one’s heart tremble.
Whoosh!
The bell on his scaly skin suddenly grew larger, flew up, and rapidly expanded, then forcefully covered the area! The treasure chamber was not that big, and Luo Feng and the Cangold King had nowhere to dodge. They were completely enveloped by this purple ancient bell.
The purple ancient bell, as if it had existed for an endless eternity, its powerful aura made Luo Feng’s heart tremble: “A treasure, a true treasure. When the Yan Zhu King used his father’s treasure to fight for his life, the aura from that treasure didn’t seem stronger than this purple ancient bell. This must be a treasure used by a Celestial Sovereign.”
This ancient bell… was an ancient treasure, infinitely powerful.
…
Inside the bell.
Luo Feng, the Cangold King, and the Purple Bell King were all covered inside. In fact, after expanding, the ancient bell was about 16 meters in diameter, almost covering half the floor of the treasure chamber.
“Purple Bell King!” The Cangold King looked in shock at the Purple Bell King, who was also inside the bell. “You, you…”
“They all say I use the Flame Bell for attacks and have the Purple Bell Shadow to protect me, but who among you knows that my true treasure is this mysterious ancient bell.” The Purple Bell King sneered inwardly and telepathically shouted, “Cangold King, if you want to kill me, don’t blame me for killing you. Two peak King-level immortals and one Limit King-level immortal have already perished under this ancient bell. Today, you and that human will die!”
“Human, you’re so useless, you’ll die too! After you die, that mysterious defensive treasure of yours will be mine.”
Two telepathic messages echoed in Luo Feng’s and the Cangold King’s minds.
Immediately after—
The Purple Bell King simply took a step back, directly stepping out of the bell. He had already refined the ancient bell, able to integrate it into his body, so naturally, he could easily pass through it. As he exited the ancient bell, he also left the black crystal sphere worth over a hundred billion Mixed Yuan units, the Flame God Core, inside the bell.
“Not good.” The Cangold King’s expression changed.
“Trouble.” Luo Feng also saw the Flame God Core, and at this moment, the Flame God Core had already been detonated.
“Explode!” The Purple Bell King smiled lightly from outside the bell.
To kill the Cangold King, even with this ancient bell, he couldn’t do it alone. Although treasures were powerful, their enhancement to one’s strength was limited, at most providing some special applications. Even if Luo Feng had the Murderous Wu Wings… it was impossible to kill a Limit King-level immortal.
So he had to consume this Flame God Core.
This ‘Flame God Core’ had the explosive power of three times a peak King-level immortal’s self-destruction. In theory, it could only barely injure the Cangold King. But the current situation was different. Such a powerful explosion was completely confined within the bell, then through the special properties inherent in the ancient bell itself, the explosion’s shockwave was focused into a beam, just like a speaker emitting sound waves. The explosive shockwave was directed in one direction. Under the Purple Bell King’s control, the attack—
Directly struck the Cangold King!
This would increase the explosive power of the Flame God Core tenfold! With such power, even a Limit King-level immortal would perish unless they possessed a defense as extraordinary as the ‘King Armor’ or other incredibly expensive protective treasures, such as this ancient bell.
Previously… the reason the Purple Bell King survived the self-destruction of the Night Chen King and Qiu Chika was because of this purple bell’s protection!
Since obtaining this ancient bell… he had killed super experts, gaining great wealth to strengthen himself, and bought this incredibly expensive Flame God Core, naturally making a big comeback. But he had always remained low-key, and anyone who had seen him use the purple bell had already perished.
“Once I kill the Cangold King and that human, I can gain a huge fortune. The Cangold King previously obtained the legacies of several other experts, along with his own wealth, which must be substantial. Then I can buy a couple more Flame God Cores.” The Purple Bell King thought inwardly.
“And that human… that human is much weaker than me, yet his defense is so astonishing. He might even possess a mysterious treasure similar to my ancient bell.”
The Purple Bell King’s heart was filled with anticipation…
“Die! Die! Everything will be mine!”
