Getti formed a seal with both hands and began to use a secret technique. A golden fire suddenly rose up from him. It gave off terrifying heat under its dazzling, golden light.
This was a combination of the Laws of Metal and the Laws of Fire.
Even though the two laws remained separate, Gettiâs usage of them was extremely skillful, such that it seemed like the two laws had fused together.
With his movements, the ways of the world began to descend. The Laws of Metal and Laws of Fire conjured around Getti.
âBell of Suppression, suppress!â Getti bellowed out. With that, his energy immediately surged, flowing out like a tidal wave. It combined with the Laws of Metal and Laws of Fire around him perfectly, forming a huge, golden bell of several dozen meters tall in a single instance and flying towards Jian Chen.
The golden bell descended from above Jian Chenâs head. As if it was connected to the surroundings, it suppressed Jian Chen with the great might of the world.
Jian Chenâs body sank. Below the golden bell, he immediately felt like his body weighed as much as a mountain. A mysterious force appeared from the golden bell as well, restricting his surroundings.
âThe Bell of Suppression. Thatâs a God Tier Battle Skill that the hall master created after several million years. Itâs one of his greatest techniques. I never thought our hall master would actually use this move against Kun Tian...â Afar, vice hall master An Lieâs eyes lit up as he could not help but say.
Standing beside him, Kasol became eager as well, showing signs of excitement. He said, âOut of the many times Kun Tian has battled with our hall master, there were two times when Kun Tian became trapped by our hall masterâs Bell of Suppression, unable to break free. For both times, he would remain trapped in there for several days and be utterly humiliated. Who knows how long our hall master can keep Kun Tian trapped this time.â
âKun Tianâs reached the Sixth Heavenly Layer now after all, so heâs completely different from before. Itâs obviously impossible for the Bell of Suppression to keep him trapped for as long as before,â said An Lie. His lips curled into a faint smile, as if victory was already determined.
âOh no. Hall master Gettiâs actually using the Bell of Suppression again.â To the other side, the expressions of the three vice hall masters changed. They all became stern as their gazes focused on Jian Chen, watching on closely with some worry.
Jian Chen stared at the Bell of Suppression as it descended from above. His eyes shone slightly. He secretly used a sliver of his ultimate will and discovered that he could once again sense the obscure connection between the world and the Bell of Suppression.
If he wanted to, he could use the power of the ultimate will to sever this connection at any time, such that an extraordinary God Tier Battle Skill like the Bell of Suppression would be reduced to an ordinary attack in a single instance.
However, he did not do that. Instead, he put on an act like he was powerless against it, allowing the bell to fall on him.
Boom!
With that, the Bell of Suppression slammed against the ground heavily like it was crushing the entire area. It seemed to have become a prison, trapping Jian Chen in there.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Before long, a series of muffled sounds rang out from the bell, shaking up the surroundings. The terrifying sound waves spread through the surroundings, causing the ground to shatter and become riddled with thick cracks.
This was from Jian Chenâs attacks landing on the Bell of Suppression. Every single attack would make the Bell of Suppression shake slightly. Every single attack would make the golden light disperse slightly.
An Lie who had originally been grinning slightly immediately became stern with this sight. He frowned, âAfter reaching the Sixth Heavenly Layer, Kun Tianâs strength has increased by far too much. It seems like the hall masterâs Bell of Suppression can only keep Kun Tian trapped for a few hours.â
Kasol was rather distracted as he muttered, âThis is impossible. Kun Tianâs clearly just broken through. He probably hasnât even consolidated his cultivation completely. Thereâs still huge room for improvement in the future for him. If heâs already so powerful now, wouldnât that mean that our hall master will be helpless against him once he reaches the peak of this realm?â
âSigh, looks like Kun Tianâs really benefited from the Land of Soul Destruction...â An Lie sighed gently.
To another side, Gettiâs expression did not ease up at all. Instead, he became sterner. He stared at the trembling, booming Bell of Suppression and thought, âThe Bell of Suppression could keep him trapped for a couple of days in the past, but now, looking at how quickly the energy is being depleted, the bell can probably only keep him trapped for around a minute at most.â
âKun Tian, just what fortuitous encounter did you go through in the Land of Soul Destruction such that your battle prowess has increased so much?â Gettiâs gaze was rather chilling. He formed a seal with both hands again and immediately slammed strands of Laws of Fire into the Bell of Suppression.
Immediately, scorching flames rose up from the dazzling bell. In that instant, the Bell of Suppression seemed to become a huge cauldron, refining the trapped Jian Chen.
âOh no, our hall masterâs in trouble...â
âIn the past, he only just trapped the hall master, but now, heâs actually refining the hall master with the Laws of Fire. Our hall master probably wonât be able to last very long like that...â
âWhat is Getti trying to do? Is he trying to kill him...â
Bing Yuan, Dou Wujin and Tarot struggled to remain composed. They all became rather frantic.
But suddenly, there was an explosion. Gettiâs Bell of Suppression blew up loudly, while the sealed area became filled with sword Qi. The silvery-white sword Qi seemed like a pillar reaching towards the heavens, stabbing straight into the sky and illuminating the surroundings.
Jian Chenâs figure flickered within the centre of the pillar of sword Qi. He seemed to have transformed into the sword Qi that pierced through everything, forcing his way out of Gettiâs Bell of Suppression.
However, it took him tremendous amounts of effort to do that. After smashing through the Bell of Suppression, his sword Qi immediately died down, revealing his figure. However, his complexion was rather pale and he seemed rather frail.
âKun Tian, youâve proved that youâre worthy of my attention. However, thatâs all it is. Youâre still not my opponent.â Getti stared at the pale-faced Jian Chen and did not continue attacking him.
Jian Chen did not continue either. Instead, he said sternly, âYou really are an experienced Sixth Heavenly Layer expert. Just breaking out of your Bell of Suppression took up forty percent of my strength. Iâm not your opponent right now, but Iâm not just going to let the matter of borrowing a great deal of resources from me slide.â With that, Jian Chen waved his hand at the three vice hall masters and left.
âYou bastard! Iâve already said that Iâve never borrowed anything from you!â Getti became rather irritated from that. There was something wrong with Kun Tianâs head. He just kept insisting he had borrowed from him. It made Getti feel like he could never clear his name.
Bing Yuan, Tarot and Dou Wujin obviously understood that Getti probably was not in the wrong here as they listened to his curses. They all smiled bitterly instead. However, Jian Chen who flew at the very front was unfazed. He thought to himself, âEight hours have passed already. Jin Hong and the others should have reclaimed the Hundred Saint City already. However, I need to pay a personal visit to the Hundred Saint City. Although the seventh divine hall is in charge for this millennium, something unpredictable might happen. You can never know what can happen.â Jian Chen was worried about the situation of the Hundred Saint City, which was why he was afraid to spend too much time fighting against Getti.
After all, as they were all outsiders, Jian Chen would obviously help out the people in the Hundred Saint City as long as it was within his ability.
Through this battle, he had basically gained a grasp over Gettiâs actual battle prowess as well. His strength was extraordinary. If it really did come to a battle of life or death, he would struggle to kill Getti in a short amount of time.
âUnless I use the Profound Sword Qi or the Shadowless Lifetaking Strike, killing him will take quite the effort,â thought Jian Chen. Although Getti was at the Sixth Heavenly Layer, he was no weaker than Seventh Heavenly Layer Infinite Primes of the Saintsâ World. Without the Nine Star Sword of Heavenly Ways, killing a Seventh Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime would not be an easy feat.
Although he had obtained a god artifact armor and a god artifact sword from Kun Tian, incomplete god artifacts without artifact spirits could never be compared to complete god artifacts.
