Chapter 50 The Broken Eastern Emperor Bell, the Appearance of the Eastern Emperor Scripture
"The Eastern Emperor actually died at the hands of a strange creature."
A sense of urgency arose in Ye Chen's heart.
In the world of Shrouding the Heavens, the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone is already enough to induce despair.
Who could have predicted that an even more ancient and bizarre legacy of calamity existed in the human world, capable of ambushing the Eastern Emperor, who had already reached the pinnacle of his sacred body and even the ultimate realm of enlightenment?
"Fortunately, the Eastern Emperor perished along with those two strange, remnant immortals."
"Otherwise, this world would probably have been completely unrecognizable long ago."
Ye Chen finally understood how he died while trying to attain the Dao with his Sacred Body.
A faint golden glow of holy blood flowed across the light screen ahead—that was the blood of the Eastern Emperor.
This seal, which has remained undried for over 100,000 years, still exudes a chilling imperial aura.
"When the Western Emperor set up this seal, he must have used the Eastern Emperor's blood as the key."
"If an outsider does not have the bloodline of the Eastern Emperor, even if they have the combat power of an Emperor, they will trigger the restriction and destroy everything inside if they try to break the formation.
The Black Emperor peeked out from behind the Empress, sniffed, and analyzed the situation clearly and logically.
When it returned with Emperor Wushi, it had wanted to go inside and take a look, but unfortunately Emperor Wushi did not activate the restriction, so it had to give up.
"The bloodline of the Eastern Emperor..."
Ye Chen's eyes flickered.
He is certainly not a descendant of the Eastern Emperor.
However, he possesses the bloodlines of both the Ji and Jiang families, and at an extremely high concentration, even more so than the current Holy Lord.
In terms of bloodline origins, the Ji family originated from the Void Emperor, while the Jiang family originated from the Hengyu Emperor.
Perhaps only Emperor Wushi is a descendant of the Eastern and Western Emperors, possessing the bloodlines of four imperial families.
"Perhaps the spiritual imprint within my bloodline can break the seal here?"
Ye Chen was unsure, but he was willing to give it a try.
"Buzz—"
The golden holy blood suddenly shone brighter, and a heavy pressure swept over us.
This pressure was different from the tyranny of the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone, and also different from the aloofness of the Ruthless Great Emperor. Instead, it was a dignified and vast imperial might.
It seemed as if this place was set up specifically to await Ye Chen's return.
"Brother..."
The Empress spoke softly, and although her voice was calm, Ye Chen could hear a hint of concern in it.
"fine."
Ye Chen turned around and smiled at her.
Then, he pointed his fingers like a knife and made a cut on his palm.
"laugh--"
Bright red blood gushed out and dripped down his palm.
He didn't activate any healing techniques; he just let the blood flow down and then gently flicked it towards the light screen.
"boom--"
The entire Yaochi Ancient Land trembled violently, and the light curtain on the Chaos Stone Chamber melted away as if it had been splashed with boiling water.
The golden holy blood mixed with Ye Chen's blood, transforming into streaks of interwoven gold and red that spread along the walls of the stone chamber.
"It's open!"
Black Emperor's saliva was practically dripping.
When it returned with the Great Emperor Wushi, it witnessed firsthand how terrifying the seal set up by the Western Emperor was.
That's an ultimate formation built upon the laws of the Imperial Way and sourced from the essence of the Jade Pool; it's virtually impossible for anyone else to completely break it.
But the old master only needed a drop of blood to open this "treasure trove".
"The old master's past life was actually the Eastern Emperor!"
Black Emperor muttered to himself.
It is now completely convinced that Ye Chen is its former master, Donghuang.
The reason they recognized each other in Zishan was simply because before Emperor Wushi sealed it, he said that this time would be enough to wait for the old master to be reincarnated.
It believed in the Great Emperor Wushi, which is why it insisted that Ye Chen was its old master.
The Empress, however, seemed to have expected this, looking calmly at the stone chamber.
As the light curtain completely dissipated, a desolate aura that had been sealed for over 100,000 years, mixed with a dense chaotic aura and a strange black blood aura, surged out from the stone chamber.
"Go in."
Ye Chen was the first to enter the stone chamber.
The Empress stayed close to him, and the Black Emperor hesitated for a moment before tucking his tail between his legs and following him inside.
......
The stone chamber was not large.
It was only a few dozen feet in diameter.
The four walls were made of chaotic stone, emanating a misty fog that completely isolated the air inside from the outside.
In the very center of the stone chamber hangs a bell.
A broken bell.
The bell is dark gold in color and was originally engraved with patterns of the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers and states, but now most of it is damaged and only a small part remains.
The bell is covered with cracks.
It looked like it might shatter at any moment.
Even more shocking was the black blood clinging to the broken part of the bell.
The black blood exuded a strange aura, exactly the same as the aura left in the previous imperial inscription.
It's the blood of a strange, remnant immortal!
"Donghuang Zhong..."
Ye Chen muttered to himself.
This is an ultimate imperial weapon forged by the Eastern Emperor using the essence of chaos and the primordial energy of all things.
Back in the day, when this bell rang, the Milky Way shattered and the sun and moon lost their light.
But now?
So dilapidated that even the spirit of the imperial weapon has almost completely dissipated.
"Zhong Ling has fallen into a deep sleep. If it weren't for this seal, she would have perished long ago."
"The spirit of the Eastern Emperor Zhong has been damaged at its core. Without extraordinary fortune, it will take at least several million years for it to awaken."
The Empress's gaze swept over Donghuang Zhong's entire body, and after carefully sensing him, she slowly explained.
"Millions of years..."
Ye Chen fell silent.
Millions of years?
The daylily buds were completely cold.
He turned his gaze to the other two items in the stone chamber.
To the left of the Eastern Emperor Bell, an ancient scripture floats.
The pages of the sutra are made of Chaos Stone, and the characters are written with the Emperor's blood, emitting a faint golden luster, originating from the same source as the Eastern Emperor Bell.
"The Eastern Emperor Scripture!"
Ye Chen's eyes lit up.
This is a complete imperial scripture, created by the Eastern Emperor himself, recording all his insights from the Holy Body to Great Completion, and then to defying the heavens to prove the Dao.
More importantly, the Eastern Emperor Scripture contains various cultivation methods for achieving the Great Accomplishment Holy Body, as well as the secrets of how to break through the shackles of heaven and earth and attain the Dao and become an emperor with the Holy Body.
"As expected of someone who has attained enlightenment through the Holy Body, this was practically left specifically for Ye Fan."
Ye Chen was overjoyed.
His younger brother, Ye Fan, possessed the Ancient Sacred Body, and he was just worried about not having a complete path to the Ancient Sacred Body. Now that the Eastern Emperor Scripture has appeared in the world, it's like a pillow being delivered to someone who's sleepy.
Looking to the right of the Eastern Emperor Bell, another ancient scripture is hanging.
The pages of this scripture are carved on Immortal Tears Green Gold, and the characters are written in the Imperial Law of the Western Emperor, radiating a soft white halo.
Within the halo of light, a blooming fairy lotus from the Jade Pool could be vaguely seen, and a woman of unparalleled beauty sat regally in the heart of the lotus.
"The Western Emperor's Scripture".
The Empress's voice remained calm, but Ye Chen still detected a hint of something amiss.
He glanced at the Empress and found her staring intently at the scroll of the Western Imperial Scripture, her eyes deep and thoughtful.
"Sister, this scripture..."
Now that Ye Chen is here, we can't just leave the Western Emperor Scripture here!
"It's alright."
"Since the Western Empress was able to attain enlightenment and become an emperor, her scriptures must have some merit."
"If you want to see it, brother, you can take it."
The Empress withdrew her gaze, her tone indifferent.
Ye Chen wasn't in a hurry to look through the two imperial scriptures, but instead walked up to the Eastern Emperor Bell first.
Although the Eastern Emperor Bell is damaged, it still exudes a faint imperial aura.
Ye Chen reached out and gently touched the cracks on the bell.
"bite--"
A clear, melodious bell rang out.
Although the bell tolled softly, it seemed to travel through countless ages, echoing in Ye Chen's sea of consciousness.
Immediately afterwards, a towering figure appeared in his mind, bathed in golden holy light, with long hair flowing down and eyes like lightning.
He stands atop the universe, his back to all living beings, his fists clenched.
Opposite this person were two indescribable "dark" beings, with two pairs of extremely cold eyes vaguely visible.
"Strange... a remnant immortal!"
"Even if I die, I'll drag you all down with me!"
The golden figure spoke with a resolute voice.
As the only anointed being, He willingly dedicates everything to all souls.
Moreover, even if the Eastern Emperor died, he did not truly perish.
