Chapter 978 The Broken Bell Summons Miro

【Immortal (Supreme Saint)】 is the name of the highest-ranking first-grade Dao Fruit in the Yunzhongjun Dao Fruit system.

Immortals are the product of the unity of heaven and man, and are a manifestation of the Dao that ensures that cultivators maintain a balance between the Dao of Heaven and the Dao of Man.

【Supreme Saint】 is more inclined towards the divine way, and is a manifestation of the way of heaven encompassing the way of humanity.

From a spiritual perspective, "immortals" represent an individual's spirituality approaching and sublimating towards the fundamental nature of the universe, or a return to that state.

In this process, the individual's spirituality becomes part of the universe, thereby obtaining a corresponding position and wielding various divine powers.

This process can also be understood as the self and the external world constructing a dynamic and harmonious balance.

The Supreme Saint is an active manifestation of the universe itself toward the real world.

It is the decline of the Heavenly Heart during the process of spiritual influence, which actually corresponds to the spiritual intervention in the laws governing the operation of heaven and earth during the process of heaven and earth giving birth to all things.

This process can also be understood as a concrete manifestation of the subconscious human intervention in the workings of heaven and earth.

These two elements, one above the other, encompass the two major sources of spiritual birth, and are also the most terrifying interference with that radiance.

Whether viewed from above or below, it is enough to disrupt the relationship between radiance and heaven.

"Bastard!"

Tian Zhen was furious. His vast heavenly might, carrying the concept of shattered stars, descended and struck the Eastern Emperor Bell. Even though the bell was of extremely high status, the power he used that day contained heavenly might that was no less than that of the bell. Moreover, the bell was clearly more proficient in controlling that kind of innate power, and easily broke through Chu Tai's defense.

With a mournful cry from the Eastern Emperor Bell, Chu Tai retreated continuously, revealing a hideous mark on the indestructible bell's surface.

Heaven pressed its advantage, unleashing a second wave of divine might, even more powerful than before. The Eastern Emperor Bell soared into the sky to meet the attack once more.

However, under the might of Heaven, the Eastern Emperor Bell was still unable to resist. Many of the Dao Fruit systems within it cried out in anguish. With a crisp sound, the marks that had only existed on the surface completely cracked, and wisps of dim light flowed out from the cracks.

When the heavenly might descended for the third time, the remaining power within the Eastern Emperor Bell could no longer sustain it, and the defenses constructed by the various Dao Fruit systems crumbled one after another until the entire bell could no longer hold on.

Suddenly, a ray of light emerged from the deepest part of the precious bell. Nine colors of light—red, blue, green, black, crimson, brown, purple, silk, and cinnabar—spread out in layers, merging together to form a round of precious light that barely resisted the might of heaven. Then, a deity appeared within the precious light.

The deity looked up at the sky, letting the heavenly might pierce through him, and chuckled, "You've killed me again."

"This is impossible! You couldn't have left behind your power. I've seen the whole past, you..."

Before Tian could finish speaking, the deity laughed and said, "The power I left behind may have been used, but have you forgotten that I bestowed one of my names upon another young friend? He who inherits the name Mi Luo can naturally also draw upon a portion of my power..."

Before he could finish speaking, the deity vanished completely, leaving only the mournful tolling of the Eastern Emperor Bell.

The Heavenly Emperor Miro, who was in the Great Heaven of Immortal Manifestation and Transformation, felt that a certain power that he could only vaguely sense before became clearer with the mournful sound of the Eastern Emperor Bell.

The Heavenly Emperor Miro could clearly sense that the owner of that power was asleep. As the Heavenly Emperor Miro's power continued to rise, that being gradually emitted an emotion that it was still alive or about to be born.

At the same time, in the vast expanse of the Eastern Pole, some kind of ritual seemed to have been completed.

The power of Heaven declined again, and the concept of Heaven in both Great Heavens became more stable.

Chu Tai, the current owner of the Eastern Emperor Bell, vaguely saw a certain scene.

In an ancient era, a supreme being whose appearance was obscured returned to the origin. During his return, Chu Tai was unable to remember anything, only knowing that his form transformed into the foundation of all things, and countless Dao Qi dispersed from his body, giving birth to deities from the Dao Qi.

These Dao Qi themselves contain a wealth of information. Just by seeing Chu Tai, one can recognize their names and understand their corresponding God and Dao Lord. Among them, the most powerful is Heaven, a being in a class of its own. Among the emperors slightly below him, Chu Tai sensed the aura of that illusory deity. Although it was somewhat different, Chu Tai had a feeling that the two were the same deity.

Furthermore, among all the Dao Qi, a few Dao Qi that did not seem to have entered the innate stage gave Chu Tai a strange sense of familiarity.

'It seems to be the source of the Heavenly Demons...'

The thought arose in Chu Tai's mind, but before he could think about it carefully, the scene before him changed.

He saw that the heavens began to kill many emperors and gods who shared the same origin as him. While gaining even greater power, they also completely bound their Dao fruits to the heavens, making the two, who should have been separated, completely indistinguishable.

This process was extremely stimulating for Chu Tai, not only because it contained the secrets of Heaven and that deity.

More importantly, whether it was the process of the supreme being's return, the process of the deities arising from the Dao Qi, or the fusion of heaven and earth, all of these led to a qualitative change in the [immortals (supreme saints)].

As soon as Chu Tai had a thought, the radiance that was originally affected by the [Immortal (Supreme Saint)] changed.

Heaven seemed to sense this and wanted to intervene.

However, the previous act of slaying the illusory gods was itself a ritual, a ritual that allowed the "Heaven" to take complete form.

This elevates the sky high above, suspending it completely in the air, making it difficult for it to interfere with human affairs.

Chu Tai, on the other hand, kept interfering with the radiance, gradually imbuing it with his aura.

After all, his Taiyi Dao inherently possesses the ability to draw forth spiritual beings.

And at this moment, it is just right to apply it to that radiance, transforming this container that could originally bear the concept of heaven into the shape of Chu Tai.

The entire process was clearly witnessed by Tian, ​​whose anger transformed into countless heavenly flames that fell from the sky.

However, due to the constraints of the Great Luo Heaven, the restrictions of the rituals, and the assistance of the True Lords, the influence that Heaven could exert on Chu Tai was negligible.

The remaining power was unable to break through the protection of the Eastern Emperor Bell. Instead, it was dismantled and absorbed by the gradually recovering Dao Fruit systems to repair the power of the Eastern Emperor Bell.

"Don't even think about it!"

The sky grew increasingly volatile, with heavenly fire and thunder raining down relentlessly. But just as Chu Tai was about to fully materialize his radiance, the sky suddenly stopped.

From the radiance before Chu Tai came the voice of the heavens: "Indeed, your power can help me further break free from my limitations. It's just a pity that the connection with the heavens seems to have been severed, and it seems it won't last much longer..."

Guanghui stretched out his hand, and wisps of celestial energy gradually emerged from his palm.

Clearly, the essence of this body, whose brilliance was taken from it by the heavens, began to be distorted the moment it came into contact with the heavens.

Chu Tai said in a low voice, "Since that's the case, why don't you let go completely?"

As he spoke, the Eastern Emperor Bell shook again, and layers of radiance appeared, trapping the radiant incarnation within. Then, the power of many Dao Fruits fell down, attempting to refine it.

Tian merely scoffed, "Why do you think such power could harm me?"

"Why not? Have you forgotten what my original fragment of the Dao Fruit was?"

Chu Tai sneered in return, and Tian's expression froze for a moment.
