Alchemy Sovereign Against the Heaven-Chapter 740 - 731: That Toll of the Bell

"Hmm?"

Just as Mo Wangchen had heaved a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, the Qilin that had been vanquished, which should have turned into a white radiance and merged into his Spirit Sea,

he instead discovered that, as the Spiritual Power within his body recovered, a golden radiance was slowly emerging from where the Qilin had been.

The instant the golden light appeared, the entire space was illuminated, radiance shone in all directions, and for a moment, it actually made it difficult for Mo Wangchen to open his eyes.

"What is this...?"

It wasn’t until his vision gradually recovered that Mo Wangchen realized that it was a copper plate.

"Dao Pattern?"

Above the copper plate, there was a special kind of pattern glowing with supreme golden radiance, a pattern that gave Mo Wangchen a vague sense of familiarity.

"Nine Secrets Dao Pattern!"

He blurted out, that sense of familiarity was the same as when he first encountered the Array True Technique and the True Technique of Fighting.

Now, on the copper plate that emerged after slaying the Qilin, was inscribed with a Dao Pattern from the Nine Secrets True Technique.

"Swoosh!"

A sharp gleam flashed in Mo Wangchen’s eyes, and without any hesitation, he leaped forward and snatched the floating copper plate.

By now, he possessed the temporary, fighting, and array True Techniques, and with the Dao Pattern recorded on this copper plate, Mo Wangchen effectively owned four out of the Nine Secrets.

If word got out, who knows how many would die of envy.

The Nine Secrets True Technique, the most supreme Dao Techniques since the ancient times of the Human Clan, is the collective inheritance of countless Supreme Great Powers from generation to generation; just to obtain one was enough to dominate the world and look down upon all living beings.

And Mo Wangchen himself had four of them, an opportunity against the Heavenly Mechanism that no one in the ancient years had ever possessed!

"Right now is not the time to study this Dao Pattern, on the hundredth layer above, is there really Divine Qi existing?"

Mo Wangchen pocketed the copper plate and looked ahead; as soon as his words fell, the space around him began to twist.

It signaled that he was about to step into the proximity of the hundredth peak.

The degree of spatial distortion was obviously much stronger than any other layer Mo Wangchen had encountered in his tower climbing.

So intense that it made him feel like the entire Ancient God Tower was violently shaking at this moment.

"Hum hum hum!"

Outside of the tower, on the plaza, everyone furrowed their brows, because they could see that the Ancient God Tower was trembling wildly, and an invisible yet terrible aura permeated the scene, making the atmosphere suddenly become a lot more oppressive.

"What’s going on?"

Confusion painted everyone’s faces; they didn’t understand what was happening.

The trembling of the Ancient God Tower even affected the entire Heavenly God City; the entire ancient city began to shake in response.

"Hum hum hum!"

As a chorus of puzzled voices rose, luminescence flickered continually on the Ancient God Tower, and in a flash, they were gone.

The next moment, a series of silhouettes were transported out from the Ancient God Tower.

"Li Hentian, Yao Suming..."

"What’s going on? Why have all these contestants in the Tower Climbing been sent out?"

Those who were transported out were none other than the geniuses who had been contesting the tower, including Ji Ziyao and Qin Yue; they were all transported out now.

Facing the puzzled crowd around them, Li Hentian, Yao Suming, and others also showed a bewildered look—it was quite apparent that even they themselves didn’t know what had happened.

"Where’s Mo Wangchen?"

Soon, someone noticed something amiss; among those who had been teleported out, it seemed one person was missing.

That person was none other than the consistently leading Divine King Body, Mo Wangchen!

"Buzz!"

Everyone’s gaze searched in all directions, but they couldn’t find Mo Wangchen. However, as the trembling of the Ancient God Tower gradually subsided,

a peerlessly brilliant light burst forth from the peak of the tower, seeming to illuminate the entire world.

"What?!"

"Someone has reached the top!"

"The Divine King Body! It must be Mo Wangchen!"

"Could it be that Li Hentian and others were suddenly sent out because Mo Wangchen reached the top?!"

The crowd instantly erupted into a frenzy, with everyone wearing a stupefied look on their faces, disbelievingly staring at the hundredth-floor peak.

"Is this... the final level of the Ancient God Tower?"

Meanwhile, inside the space on the hundredth floor, as the sensation of weightlessness on Mo Wangchen’s body dissipated and his vision was restored, he looked around.

This hundredth layer was filled with white radiance, seemingly endless, as if the entire world had lost its color, leaving only Mo Wangchen alone.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a grand and resonant sound echoed, like an Ancient Bell being struck, reverberating out from within the Ancient God Tower.

The hearts of all present were shaken by the bell’s sound, which seemed to contain a resonating Great Dao, stirring their hearts, leaving them unable to calm down for a long time.

The sound of the bell seemed to carry a supreme authority, not just resonating through Heavenly God City but also spreading throughout the entire Southern region and the whole of the Central State.

All Cultivators in the world unconsciously heard this bell, no matter what they were engaged in at the moment, including the Supreme Great Powers who had been secluded for many years, hidden in various parts of the Central State. They were all disturbed from their seclusions by this sound.

...

Within the Wuken Mountain Range, where an Ancient King’s Royal Family was stationed, a terrifying aura suddenly soared into the sky, causing everyone within the Ancient Clan to change color.

"What’s going on?"

"This aura... the Ancient King is awakening!"

"Our Ancient King should still be years away from awakening, what on earth could have happened for him to awaken now!"

"That bell sound just now... did you all hear it?"

Amid the discussions, a Divine Rainbow shot out from the depths of this Ancient Royal Family, reaching the high skies in the blink of an eye.

This was an elderly figure with white hair and beard, evidently the Ancient King of this clan. He was supposed to be in Deep Sleep for several more years, yet the recent sound of the bell had startled him into an early Awakening.

"The Ancient God Bell..."

The old man’s gaze stretched into the distance, towards where the sound of the bell had come from, his eyes filled with an unparalleled wariness.

"I wasn’t mistaken, that bell sound must have come from the Ancient God Bell!"

"In recent times, the bell that never rang, has someone struck it today?"

His voice trembled slightly, unable to hide the fear in his heart. With his words, he transformed into an Escape Light, speeding away toward the distance at an extremely fast pace.

Likewise, this was not only happening within this Ancient King’s Royal Family. In many places throughout Central State, various Powers with Supreme Great Powers who had been in hiding for many years were equally disturbed.

"When the Ancient God Bell rings, the world falls into turmoil!"

"Is the Min Huan Cataclysm coming..."
