Chapter 1669: The Hunyuan Bell's Divine Might, Does It Contain a World? (Part 2)

The Sacred Artifact's Heavenly Tribulation cannot be compared to the previous tribulations; the difference between them is as vast as heaven and earth.

Even the strongest bolt of the Core Formation tribulation is nothing compared to the lightning flashing here; it's absurd, the Hunyuan Bell endured it outright, suffering no damage, and after passing the tribulation it gained a tremendous benefit, completing its Advancement.

Advancement also requires nurturing to fully adapt to the Sacred Artifact's might; Chen Chuyang entered the black clouds, his whole body wrapped in tribulation lightning, which sought to tear his flesh, invade his interior, and annihilate him to dust.

Chen Chuyang paid no heed, letting the tribulation bombard him; countless bolts frenziedly attacked him, as if venting the fury that could not destroy the Hunyuan Bell onto his body, making the tribulation's power grow even stronger—this was exactly the outcome Chen Chuyang wanted.

The tribulation enveloped him; above Longshe Shan the sky was filled with black clouds, within which tribulation lightning constantly generated and ceaselessly bombarded.

"Boom—"

"Boom—rumble—"

The bombing sound continued, drawing Long Zetian's attention; they all raised their heads, staring at the figure within the clouds, constantly bombarded, sometimes blurry, sometimes clear—each blast made Chen Chuyang's silhouette appear in the clouds, only a single silhouette.

That silhouette did not collapse or perish; instead… it continually absorbed the tribulation's power, forcibly devouring it, making itself part of the tribulation—these tribulations are manifestations of heavenly law, exactly what he wanted; the stronger the tribulation, the better, and it could also inflict a bit of harm on Chen Chuyang; after the Hunyuan Body's Advancement, its strength increased manyfold.

Ordinary tribulations could neither affect him nor provide tempering; the Sacred Artifact tribulation is indeed powerful enough to destroy his body, but Chen Chuyang didn't care at all—the Hunyuan Body's mighty regenerative ability can swiftly adapt to heavenly tribulations; this is another terrifying aspect of the Hunyuan Body, its powerful adaptability: as long as he doesn't die, he can continually adapt and then become immune to these harms.

Long Zetian stared at that silhouette, unblinking, and muttered inwardly: "This kid is truly… a monster, the Sacred Artifact tribulation can't kill him, he even used the Sacred Artifact tribulation to temper his body, a monster, this monster."

That's what she said, but Long Zetian's heart was full of joy; the stronger Chen Chuyang became, the happier she felt.

Having a monster is good; the Azure Dragon Clan has finally… produced a monster, and at last it's their turn.

Before, it was precisely because the Azure Dragon Clan could not produce a monster that… the clan gradually declined; we thought the Azure Dragon Clan would truly decline like that, who would have thought that fortunes would turn, and the Azure Dragon Clan would finally… rise.

The more she looked at Chen Chuyang, the happier she became, the more she liked him.

"Having a monster is great; such a monster is truly wonderful."

"Chen Chuyang has finally grown up; this step is extremely difficult."

"From now on, my Azure Dragon Clan will no longer need to worry about… being wiped out; the Dragonherding Clan and the Myriad Demon Hall, you wait."

The Dragonherding Clan is the true culprit; Long Zetian knows that besides the Dragonherding Clan there are other forces, all of them accomplices, among which the Myriad Demon Hall is the hidden mastermind; Long Zetian will never forget that day.

"Boom—"

Heaven and earth shook, the tribulation bombarded frenziedly, lasting a day and a night.

After the black clouds dispersed, Chen Chuyang's silhouette emerged; he stood in the void, reached out, and the Hunyuan Bell shrank, appearing in his palm.

After its Advancement to a Sacred Artifact, the Hunyuan Bell became different.

Overall it remained the same, only its aura changed.

The patterns on its surface grew ever clearer; moreover, the Hunyuan Bell's interior had completed its transformation, something the previous evolution had not reached.

"Its interior forms its own space."

"After the Hunyuan Bell's Advancement to a Sacred Artifact, its interior space became completely stable; although it is not a full world, it now has the embryo of a world."

"This is already a small world."

Chen Chuyang was thrilled; the small world signified that his future path was gradually becoming clear—if he personally took part in developing this world, his path to sainthood might also be achieved; after the Tribulation Realm comes sainthood.

This step is neither simple nor easy; before, Chen Chuyang saw no hope, but now he does.

Although his cultivation path differs, the sainthood of this world is not what he imagined; however, after developing the world, he himself could… develop a world, perhaps…

Thinking of this, Chen Chuyang continued observing the Hunyuan Bell's interior; the world expanded manyfold, becoming stable, unlike that earlier insubstantial space that looked fragile and could collapse at any moment.

This Advancement let the spiritual medicines inside the Hunyuan Bell receive nourishment; all underwent tremendous change, their overall efficacy increased by at least a century, and this is merely the surface change—the core change is that these medicines gained a kind of fortune, which, as time passes, can be fulfilled.

"All the spiritual medicines have undergone transformation; the power of fortune affects them, the efficacy increase is secondary; the real change is that these medicines have received an opportunity— in the future, when this batch of medicines matures, they will be my greatest reliance."

Chen Chuyang was delighted; as these spiritual medicines mature, if he continues to nurture them for decades, he will obtain a large batch of special spiritual medicines.

The entire interior of the Hunyuan Bell is filled with spiritual medicines; Chen Chuyang's years of planting have produced a great many, and with their spread and continual propagation, they have long become a large batch of spiritual medicines.

"After the Hunyuan Bell's upgrade to a Sacred Artifact, its power increased manyfold; within the Tribulation Realm, I fear nothing."

With cultivation risen, the weapon rose as well; after the Hunyuan Bell's advancement, Chen Chuyang turned his gaze inward to his other weapon, the Dragon Bone Sword, which remained unchanged, having received too little investment, so this sword failed to advance to a top-tier Spiritual Artifact; the Dragon Bone Sword differs from the Hunyuan Bell in what it requires, and Chen Chuyang examined this Dragon Bone Sword, noting it lacked the nourishment of blood and killing intent, limiting its advancement.

Seeing Chen Chuyang's gaze, the Dragon Bone Sword trembled a few times, venting its dissatisfaction.

"All right, later I'll let you have your fill."

Chen Chuyang hurriedly soothed the Dragon Bone Sword; in this world there are not many enemies, so it cannot be given the chance to advance.

The blood and souls of the strong are what the Dragon Bone Sword needs most.

After soothing the Dragon Bone Sword, Chen Chuyang sent a great surge of true qi to it, and also gave it a portion of the tribulation qi he had absorbed; only then did the Dragon Bone Sword calm down, ceasing its clamor.

Having put away the Dragon Bone Sword, Chen Chuyang was very pleased.
