Chapter 3295: The Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King
Faced with such power, even ancestor Zong and his Fifth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime strength stood no chance.
Let alone standing a chance, he could not even achieve something as simple as dodging. The power inside the small sword was earth-shaking, having completely locked onto his presence already.
Given the situation, ancestor Zong could only unleash his strongest defensive measures. Immediately, he equipped a low quality god artifact armour that resembled tree bark. As the power of his cultivation surged forth furiously, he set up his strongest energy defence.
However, the exquisite sword tore through everything. It flashed past with blinding light, piercing ancestor Zong’s energy defence before shattering the tree bark-like armour on him, thrusting through his chest.
Spurt!
A bowl-sized hole immediately appeared in his chest after the exquisite sword pierced him effortlessly. When the sword passed through his body, the sword Qi that leaked out also shredded his organs.
Blood sprayed into the air from ancestor Zong’s mouth as his face immediately became sheet-white. His face was filled with great fear. In the next moment, he no longer bothered with killing Chu Tianxing and the others, immediately retreating abruptly.
His gaze towards Chu Tianxing was now filled with unprecedented wariness.
He understood exactly how startling the power in the exquisite sword was. If the sword Qi was slightly stronger, it would not be as simple as becoming heavily injured. Even his soul probably would not be able to escape the fate of obliteration.
The Fifth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime ancestor Zong truly did feel like he had just paid a visit to the gates of death. His fate could have been determined then and there.
Ancestor Zong immediately vanished into the distance like a startled bird, completely disappearing from before Chu Tianxing and the others. He did not dare to try anything else.
He was unaware that Chu Tianxing and the others were incapable of trying something like this a second time. Even though a treasure like that basically could not be used a second time, he did not dare to gamble his life on it.
“E-elder Chu, w-what was that just now?” The Godkings under Bai Yurou’s command who had just survived all looked towards him in complete shock.
In that prior moment, the sword Qi that erupted from the small sword was so powerful that it frightened them all out of their wits, making their knees buckle.
Why was Chu Tianxing in possession of something so terrifying?
Meanwhile, Chu Tianxing had become completely stunned. His mind had blanked out.
He obviously understood what had just happened, but he never would have thought that the exquisite sword he felt was slightly extraordinary on the flying ship would actually possess such devastating power, instantly heavily injuring the Fifth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime ancestor Zong.
As soon as he remembered that the exquisite sword he had curiously fiddled around with over the past few days contained such unbelievable power, Chu Tianxing’s face became dazed. At the same time, he was overcome with lingering fear.
He wanted to find the small sword, but it had turned to dust and dispersed after releasing the sword Qi.
The material that went into creating the sword was far too low in terms of quality compared to the sword Qi. After erupting with the sword Qi, the small sword had completely disintegrated like it had been vapourised. No trace of it remained.
At the same time, the several dozen Godkings that were about to fly out of White Emperor city in pursuit of Bai Yurou all stopped at the same time. They looked back in the direction that ancestor Zong had vanished off into, their faces all paling drastically.
“The power just then actually heavily injured ancestor Zong in an instant. I-is there a heavenly king here?”
“The Mayhemless Heavenly King? Don’t tell me it’s the Mayhemless Heavenly King? He’s always been protecting the descendants of the White Emperor’s faction?”
“The Mayhemless Heavenly King actually interfered personally and heavily injured ancestor Zong…”
......
…
For a moment, the Godkings belonging to ancestor Zong and ancestor Yan’s factions all halted. Their faces changed rapidly, no longer bold enough to continue pursuing Bai Yurou.
Bai Yurou killed the White Emperor? No one believed that. If the White Emperor had indeed been killed by someone, then it would instead be more convincing if ancestor Yan or ancestor Zong did it. e.4a8e8e7
As a result, they immediately connected ancestor Zong’s injuries from a heavenly king’s powers to the Mayhemless Heavenly King.
The White Emperor and the Mayhemless Heavenly King possessed old ties. That had never been a secret within the upper echelon of the clan.
“T-then do we still capture Bai Yurou or not?”
“Even the Mayhemless Heavenly King has stepped in. Wouldn’t we just be asking to die if we still go after Bai Yurou at a time like this?”
When they heard that, all of the Godkings going after Bai Yurou could not help but shrink back.
Their strength was limited. They were completely unaware that everything that occurred was due to Chu Tianxing. They only knew the terrifying power of a Heavenly King had erupted, which obviously frightened them.
Without the obstruction of any enemies, Chu Tianxing and the others who had managed to survive immediately fled from the imperial city as quickly as possible, travelling off in the direction that Bai Yurou had left in.
The Godkings loyal to ancestor Zong and ancestor Yan watched helplessly as they left. With a heavenly king deterring them, they no longer possessed the courage to attack.

Inside White Emperor city, ancestor Zong hovered above the White Emperor clan fearfully, gazing out of the city.
At this moment, a middle-aged man in green clothes with a crown on his head appeared before ancestor Zong.
He stood with his hands behind his back, with his back to ancestor Zong. However, his eyes were glued to the space where the small sword had appeared, his gaze deep.
“Greetings, Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King. The heavenly king was right. There is indeed another heavenly king behind Bai Yurou. The death of my third brother was probably due to this heavenly king.” Ancestor Zong immediately bowed towards him. He behaved with great reservation before this man in green. He spoke respectfully, unwilling to offend him in any way.
The middle-aged man in green was one of the nine heavenly kings of the Wood Spirits World, the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King, a Ninth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime.
In the Wood Spirits World, there were several Ninth Heavenly Layer Infinite Primes, but there were only nine throughout the entire world that earned the title of heavenly king!
The Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King hovered in the air silently with his presence erased. He stared at the space where the small sword had erupted for a while before saying, “There are lingering powers of the Laws of the Sword. It’s not a heavenly king, as none of the nine heavenly kings have grasped the Way of the Sword.”
“However, this person isn’t weak either. He’s not a heavenly king, but from the lingering presence, he’s already extremely close to being one.” The Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King smiled mysteriously and said steadily, “I do know a few people who are skilled in the Way of the Sword, but none of them have comprehended the Way of the Sword to such a realm. My curiosity regarding this person grows.”
Ancestor Zong said hesitantly, “Heavenly king, now that the White Emperor is dead, do you know what’s going on with the Mayhemless Heavenly King?”
“Don’t worry. The Mayhemless Heavenly King found out about what happened to the White Emperor clan a long time ago. He doesn’t have the courage to interfere,” said the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King.
“What? The Mayhemless Heavenly King actually doesn’t have the courage to interfere?” Ancestor Zong was surprised. With the White Emperor dead, the person he feared the most was the Mayhemless Heavenly King. He had secretly pledged his allegiance to the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King already, but the Mayhemless Heavenly King’s existence still struck fear into him.
The Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King glanced at ancestor Zong mysteriously and said, “There are no heavenly kings who want a part in the mess that the Peace region is about to become. However, there’s no need for you to learn about this either. You only need to deal with your matters and make sure you control the White Emperor clan properly for me.”
Ancestor Zong seemed to realise something. Suddenly, his expression became extremely stern. He bowed deeply as he said in guarantee, “Please don’t worry, Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King. Without the White Emperor’s obstruction, the White Emperor clan lies firmly within my grasp. As a representative of the White Emperor clan, the White Emperor clan will obey all of your orders.”
The Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King gazed in the direction that Bai Yurou had fled in and nodded gently. “You can go. As for the person behind Bai Yurou, I’ll dig them out sooner or later. I’d like to see just who it is. They clearly possess such strength, yet they’ve managed to keep it hidden all the way until now.”
“But regardless of who they are, anyone bold enough to interfere with this will only face death.”
