Chapter 290: Shocking the World

"Boom!"

As the thirty low-grade spirit crystals merged in.

The Earth-Shaking Bell before Gu Daoxu fully revived, erupting with a long, resonant toll that directly drove back the crowd from the Treasure Pavilion.

Yet under Gu Daoxu's control, the waves from this bell toll caused no harm to the Treasure Pavilion crowd.

With the Earth-Shaking Bell fully revived, the patterns carved on its body had completely lit up.

A special force of profound rule and principle emerged, encircling the Earth-Shaking Bell and pressing down toward Dongxuan City below.

Facing the fully revived Earth-Shaking Bell, Dongxuan City's city-defense formation began to retreat step by step.

Seeing this, Ye Qingxuan felt no worry; instead, a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

With a thought, the Starlight Hall, already poised and ready, rapidly expanded.

Carrying the profound rule of the stars around it, it crashed fiercely upward toward the giant bell descending from above.

Above Dongxuan City, lightning flashed and thunder rolled; clouds high in the sky gathered and spun.

It seemed as though a vortex-eye formed from gathered clouds, accompanied by lightning and thunder, had appeared above Dongxuan City.

The Starlight Hall, already gaining the upper hand in the sky, quickly wrapped around the Earth-Shaking Bell, denying it any chance to escape.

Under Gu Daoxu's far-superior control, the Earth-Shaking Bell trembled slightly, emitting a series of bell tolls that shook the void.

"I did not expect Dongxuan City to possess a low-grade magic treasure above one star."

A powerful energy tide immediately swept across heaven and earth.

The Starlight Hall and the Earth-Shaking Bell collided, erupting with a deafening roar of energy.

"Bang!" "Boom!"

Having spoken, Ye Qingxuan formed a hand seal.

After the low-grade magic treasure fully revived.

Seeing this, Ye Qingxuan smiled lightly and said:

"Everyone from the Treasure Pavilion, you may leave, but this low-grade magic treasure must remain as compensation for your unprovoked attack on Dongxuan City!"

Knowing the situation was hopeless, Gu Daoxu shifted his mind, intending to flee Dongxuan City's range while taking the Earth-Shaking Bell with him.

Moreover, this already massive vortex-eye of clouds was expanding at an extremely rapid pace.

"Not good, retreat quickly!"

Furthermore, the clash between the two profound rules instantly triggered strange phenomena across heaven and earth.

While retreating, Gu Daoxu looked at the Starlight Hall flying out from Dongxuan City and said with a grim face:

While speaking, Gu Daoxu also remotely controlled the Earth-Shaking Bell, restraining the energy tide surging toward them.

Immediately afterward, under Gu Daoxu's lead, the Treasure Pavilion group swiftly fled backward.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

Seeing this, Gu Daoxu shouted urgently:

His Earth-Shaking Bell was merely a one-star low-grade magic treasure; it certainly could not match Dongxuan City's magic treasure.

Relying solely on a Soul Transformation cultivator to withdraw a low-grade magic treasure was no easy task.

Ye Qingxuan's initial goal was to seize this low-grade magic treasure.

Otherwise, he would not have allowed this bell-shaped low-grade magic treasure to rampage outside Dongxuan City for so long.

At this moment, the retreating Gu Daoxu also understood Ye Qingxuan's purpose.

But it was too late now; he was powerless to change the outcome and could not intervene in a clash between low-grade magic treasures.

After weighing the situation briefly, Gu Daoxu could only angrily shout in frustration:

"Damn it, Dongxuan City! What a Dongxuan City! This time, I admit defeat. Let's go!"

Having spoken, he led the Treasure Pavilion people far away from Dongxuan City.

Watching the fleeing Treasure Pavilion group, Ye Qingxuan paid them no mind.

At this moment, the Starlight Hall could not break free; if he left Dongxuan City alone, he might not truly be a match for this group from the Treasure Pavilion.

This time, as long as he kept this bell-shaped low-grade magic treasure, he had gained greatly.

Thinking this, Ye Qingxuan withdrew his gaze and looked up at the two low-grade magic treasures clashing in the sky.

After the Starlight Hall wrapped around the Earth-Shaking Bell,

it began gradually pressing the Earth-Shaking Bell beneath itself, while expanding its own form, preparing to draw the Earth-Shaking Bell into its interior for complete suppression.

Facing the Starlight Hall's suppression, the Earth-Shaking Bell erupted with fierce resistance.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

Both were low-grade magic treasures.

Even though the Earth-Shaking Bell was of a lower tier than the Starlight Hall, it could not be easily suppressed by the Starlight Hall.

To completely suppress the Earth-Shaking Bell, the Starlight Hall would still need considerable time.

The full-scale revival and clash of the two low-grade magic treasures caused a violent energy tide outside Dongxuan City.

These energy tides swept in layers across all directions, causing massive destruction.

Fortunately, Dongxuan City was protected by the Starlight Hall and suffered no attack from the energy tides.

Besides the energy tides sweeping in all directions, the strange phenomena above Dongxuan City were also rapidly expanding.

At the same time.

On the upper floor of the City Lord's mansion in Starfall City,

Bai Li, commander of Starfall City's guard unit, looked at Xing Zejun and finally could not hold back his question:

"City Lord, were you not going to meet the City Lord of Dongxuan City? Why did we leave immediately after the Dongxuan Auction ended?"

Hearing Bai Li's words, Xing Zejun stood up, looked toward the direction of Dongxuan City, and said softly:

"This Dongxuan City is no simple place; its city-protecting formation..."

Just as he spoke, Lord Xingze suddenly fell silent with a grave expression, his gaze fixed intently on the direction of Dongxuan City.

Seeing this, Bai Li asked curiously:

"City Lord, what is wrong?"

As he asked, Bai Li also turned his gaze toward the direction of Dongxuan City.

There, lightning flashed and thunder rolled in the direction of Dongxuan City, clouds churned, and strange phenomena appeared one after another.

Moreover, this phenomenon was expanding rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Bai Li was instantly frightened by the scene and hurriedly stepped before Lord Xingze to ask:

"City Lord, what is happening?"

Hearing Bai Li's question, Lord Xingze slowly said:

"This is the heavenly phenomenon formed by a standoff of power at the seventh-grade Hole-Void Realm level."

As he spoke, Lord Xingze's gaze never left the direction of Dongxuan City from start to finish.

"What? Power of the Hole-Void Realm?"

Hearing Lord Xingze's words, Bai Li let out a cry of shock.

Paying no heed to Bai Li's outcry, Lord Xingze merely said lightly:

"Investigate!"

"Yes, City Lord."

Understanding Lord Xingze's meaning, Bai Li asked no further questions and turned to leave immediately.

After Bai Li departed, Lord Xingze spoke softly:

"Dongxuan City, this one still underestimated you. It seems I must find a way to break through quickly."

Lord Xingze had not expected that Star Fall Province, which was originally under his control, would encounter such a sudden change.

Power of the seventh grade; Star Fall City possesses it as well.

Not only Star Fall City.

According to records passed down through generations of Star Fall City, the Imperial Peak Sect, Feiyu Sect, Nanyu City, and the Treasure Pavilion all possess means to briefly unleash seventh-grade Hole-Void power.

This is why Star Fall City, the Imperial Peak Sect, Feiyu Sect, Nanyu City, and the Treasure Pavilion

are the five publicly known Soul Transformation-level powers that rule Star Fall Province, forcing other Soul Transformation-level powers to remain hidden.

However, to Lord Xingze's knowledge, the seventh-grade Hole-Void power that the other four major powers can unleash is insufficient to cause such a massive heavenly phenomenon.

Gazing at the position of Dongxuan City, Lord Xingze clasped his hands behind his back and said softly:

"Dongxuan City, once this one breaks through, I will certainly go there personally to lift your mysterious veil."
