Perfection: The Eastern Emperor Bell manifests, I am the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor

Chapter 1: The Eastern Emperor's Bell Appears!

The Immortal Realm, vast and boundless, surrounded by stars, was originally a sacred place for cultivation, but now a corner of it is permeated with an inescapable bloodshed and sorrow.

The Golden Crow Ancestral Court, the former resting place of the glorious sun, where the Fusang Divine Tree stands tall, its branches and leaves flowing with liquid solar essence, its radiance illuminating billions of miles of land.

However, at this moment, this sacred land has been reduced to scorched earth.

The broken Fusang giant tree burned with inextinguishable black flames, and the brilliant golden crow feathers mixed with dark red divine blood were scattered all over the ground.

The void was filled with ripples of destruction from the collapse of the laws, and a stench of blood so thick it was nauseating.

The remaining clansmen gathered within the innermost protective barrier of the ancestral temple, their numbers less than eleventh of their peak.

Most of them were wounded, their wings broken, their eyes burning with the flames of anger, but deeper within them lay an unconcealable despair and sorrow.

The Golden Crow Clan Chief, an old man dressed in a golden robe, held a cracked Sun God Staff, desperately supporting the crumbling final barrier.

Pale golden blood trickled from the corner of his mouth; he was weak and listless, but his spine remained ramrod straight.

He glared angrily at the three figures in the sky that were as majestic as divine mountains, exuding an aura that suppressed all heavens and myriad worlds.

Those were the three renowned Immortal Kings of the Immortal Realm—Ao Sheng, Tai Shi, and Yuan Chu!
Immortal King Ao Sheng was enveloped in blazing immortal light, his dragon aura swirling around him, his eyes flashing like cold lightning, exuding an undeniable domineering aura.

He looked down at the scene below, his voice icy.

"Old Golden Crow, do not be so stubborn! Your clan is one of the oldest beings in the Immortal Realm, your bloodline contains the secrets of creation, and the origin of the sun points directly to the root of the Great Dao. Such treasures are not for your clan to possess alone. Hand over the cultivation method of the origin and offer the core of the Fusang Divine Tree, and I may, out of consideration for our past relationship, grant your clan a sliver of hope, demoting you to immortal slaves to continue your lineage."

The aura of the Primordial Immortal King was ethereal, seemingly in harmony with the Great Dao, yet his words were sharper than a blade.

"The resources of the Immortal Realm belong to those with virtue. Your Golden Crow Clan has occupied the power of the sun for too long, and your virtue is not worthy of your position. You should relinquish it. If you stubbornly resist, the only way out will be the extermination of your clan."

The Primordial Immortal King was taciturn, but the chaotic aura flowing around him was the most profound.

Although he did not speak, the invisible pressure he exerted was more terrifying than that of the other two, as if the entire world was rejecting the Golden Crow Clan.

The Golden Crow clan chief's hair and beard bristled, and he laughed in extreme anger.

"Hahaha... What a fine way to say 'the virtuous rule'! What a fine way to say 'old friendship of the Immortal Realm'! Our ancestors once stood shoulder to shoulder with the forgers of the Immortal Realm, shedding their blood to establish order! Now you covet the secret of our bloodline, committing such thuggish acts, without a shred of shame! Are all the kings of the Immortal Realm blind and deaf?! Are you just going to stand by and watch you commit such acts of annihilation?!"

His roar reverberated throughout the Immortal Realm, reaching numerous ancient traditions and immortal religions.

However, he was met with deathly silence.

Some powerful divine senses subtly swept across the battlefield, carrying a cold scrutiny or a barely perceptible sigh, but without exception, they quickly retreated, as if afraid of being tainted by some ominous sign.

Within a misty celestial palace, an ancient being whispered: "Golden Crow... what a pity. However, Ao Sheng and his two companions are powerful, with far-reaching connections behind them. It's not worth it for old friendships that have long been buried."

In another chaotic cave, a voice said indifferently: "The origin of the sun is indeed tempting. The Golden Crow clan has been guarding this treasure for too long; possessing such a treasure is a crime."

Even worse, some secretly sneered: "Let them fight, let them struggle. No matter who wins or loses, both sides will be weakened. What's wrong with that for us?"

Indifference, scheming, and detached indifference... this is the attitude of the kings of the Immortal Realm! In the face of self-interest, so-called chivalry and the so-called Immortal Realm alliance are as thin as a piece of waste paper!
As the Golden Crow Clan Chief watched the retreating divine thoughts and felt the chilling silence, his heart sank into an endless abyss. Sorrow, anger, and a hint of relief he himself refused to acknowledge—behold, this was the Immortal Realm they had sworn to protect with their lives!
"Stubborn to the end, then exterminate our entire clan!" The Primordial Immortal King lost his patience.

He raised his hand and struck, a dazzling Immortal King Law transforming into a true dragon, roaring and tearing through the void, crashing fiercely into the barrier light screen.

"Boom—!" The light screen twisted violently, and cracks spread like a spider web.

The Golden Crow Clan Chief spat out a mouthful of golden blood, his body swaying precariously.

"Chieftain!" the clansmen cried out in grief, their eyes filled with even greater despair.

"Fight them!" A young member of the clan shouted, his eyes bloodshot, as he burned his life force, transforming into tiny suns that seemed poised to burst forth and self-destruct.

"No!" the clan chief cried out, but it was too late.

at this time--

"Boom!!!"

A bell, seemingly ringing since the beginning of time, resounded without warning from the depths of the Sun Cave, the most core forbidden area of ​​the Golden Crow Ancestral Court!

The sound of the bell was not harsh, but it carried an indescribable sense of antiquity, vastness, and majesty!

It disregarded the barriers of time and space, resounding directly within the Dao source of every living being, and echoing in the minds of all Immortal Kings in the Immortal Realm!
Time seems to freeze at this moment.

The colossal hand of the Primordial Immortal King, capable of destroying heaven and earth, hovered in mid-air, the Dao runes it condensed appearing frozen.

The spacetime blockade set up by the Primordial Immortal King caused violent ripples, nearly collapsing.

For the first time, the cold indifference that held everything in Ao Sheng Immortal King's face cracked, turning into surprise and doubt.

Meanwhile, the violent energy within the young golden crows who were about to self-destruct was forcibly calmed by a gentle yet irresistible force.

All eyes, filled with unbelievable awe, turned to the ancient Sun Cave!
"Om-"

The crimson golden divine radiance was no longer a ray of light, but rather a torrent bursting forth from the ancient cave like a flood breaking through a dam!

Brilliant, vast, and supreme!
It shattered the remaining restrictions, pierced through the solid barriers of the Immortal Realm, and shot straight into the depths of the endless void!
An unparalleled pressure, surpassing all immortals and looking down upon the past, present, and future, descended with a thunderous roar, as if a slumbering ancient god-emperor had awakened!
"This...this is the aura of a Celestial King?! And...it's so pure!"

A celestial king from a distant realm cried out in alarm, unable to maintain his composure any longer.

"No! This isn't the usual aura of a Celestial King! It carries the aura of the sun's origin, yet... it transcends it! Which ancient ancestor of the Golden Crow Clan has returned?!"

In another forbidden zone, an ancient being was awakened, its divine sense fluctuating violently.

"What a terrifying bell sound... What kind of magical artifact is that? It can actually shake my primordial spirit!" A Celestial King who was on the path of refining the spirit felt a chill run down his spine.

Throughout the Immortal Realm, powerful wills were stirred, some shocked, some solemn, some greedy, and some wary.

The long, chilling silence was shattered by the sudden tolling of the bell and the oppressive force!
In the ancestral land of the Golden Crows, the surviving Golden Crows felt the resonance of bloodlines that originated from the same source but were as vast as the sea of ​​stars. At first, they could not believe it, and then, they were overjoyed and their joy erupted like a volcano!
"It's a forbidden area! It's the legacy of the Sun Cave!"

"Celestial King! My clan... my clan has a Celestial King now!"

"Heaven has eyes! Heaven has eyes!" The Golden Crow Clan elder wept uncontrollably, the grief and indignation that had kept him from collapsing transforming into overwhelming emotion at this moment.

He bowed deeply in the direction of the ancient cave.
