Chapter 1088: Bai Wu Liang’s Guesses

Waves of energy radiated outward from the Chaos Bell in all directions.
The innate power of stars surged forth from the Chaos Bell like boiling water, flowing everywhere it went, destroying everything in its path.
The Yellow Dragon and the Confucian Sage had already retreated far away.
Sensing the changes in the Chaos Bell, joy gradually spread across the Yellow Dragon’s face.
Previously, the Chaos Bell ranked twelfth on the List of Great Divine Artefacts. But now, with the integration of the spirit of the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe, it would surely break into the top ten!
The top ten!
The power of a sacred-grade great divine artefact in the top ten was incomparable to that in the top hundred.
“This time, with the integration of the spirit of the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe, the Chaos Bell should be able to rank above the Chaos Pearl!” said the World Tree.
The Chaos Pearl was a precious divine artefact used by Pangu and Hongjun, ranking ninth on the List of Great Divine Artefacts!
In other words, after integrating the spirit of the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe, the Chaos Bell would rank ninth, while the Chaos Pearl would drop to tenth!
“Ninth place?” The Yellow Dragon nodded.
If the World Tree said so, it must be correct.
“Confucian Sage,” the Yellow Dragon suddenly spoke.
Confucian Sage was the name of the Confucian Saint.
“Here, master!” The Confucian Saint, who had been watching the changes in the Chaos Bell in shock, quickly regained his composure and replied respectfully.
“I remember you saying that my teacher was sealed inside the Mirror of Ten Thousand Souls?” the Yellow Dragon asked.
“Yes, master,” the Confucian Saint replied respectfully. “It’s absolutely true. The Holy Lord Xuanhuang used the Mirror of Ten Thousand Souls to seal the Holy King of Hongmeng, forcing the Holy King of Ten Thousand Souls to assimilate him!”
The Holy King of Ten Thousand Souls was the spirit of the Mirror of Ten Thousand Souls.
“Oh, assimilate my teacher?” The Yellow Dragon frowned.
If the Holy King of Hongmeng were assimilated, he would, like the Chaos Bell and the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe before him, merge with the Mirror of Ten Thousand Souls—which would be troublesome.
“Hehe, this Xuanhuang really has big ambitions—trying to use the Holy King of Ten Thousand Souls to assimilate the Holy King of Hongmeng,” the World Tree sneered. “Does he think it’s easy to assimilate a Holy Sage of Hunyuan?”
The Confucian Saint hesitated for a moment before saying, “Although I also find it incredible, the Holy Lord Xuanhuang seemed very confident at the time. He said that before the great destruction of this era, he would surely be able to assimilate the Holy King of Hongmeng, allowing the Mirror of Ten Thousand Souls to continuously absorb the energy of Hongmeng, thus achieving a breakthrough and becoming the number one divine artefact in the universe!”
“Number one divine artefact?” The World Tree laughed mockingly. “This Holy Lord Xuanhuang is truly ignorant!”
The Confucian Saint dared not argue.

However, as the World Tree said, this Xuanhuang Holy Lord is indeed too arrogant. Not to mention the World Tree, even the Heavenly Dao Wheel of the Central Holy Lord cannot be compared to the Mirror of Ten Thousand Souls. Although it’s impossible for the Mirror of Ten Thousand Souls to become the number one divine artifact, Huang Long fell into deep thought. Since the Xuanhuang Holy Lord claimed he could assimilate the Hongmeng Holy King before the great destruction of this era, it might indeed be possible. If so, they must rescue their teacher, the Hongmeng Holy King, as soon as possible. “What’s the strength of that Xuanhuang Holy Lord?” Huang Long asked thoughtfully. The Confucian Sage pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said, “It’s hard to tell. But over a dozen eras ago, he had already reached the peak of the late Dao-Union stage.” Over a dozen eras ago, at the peak of the late Dao-Union stage! Huang Long’s eyes sparkled. If that was the case, then it was possible that the Xuanhuang Holy Lord had also broken through to the Daluo stage during those dozen eras! If he had reached the Daluo stage, things would get quite troublesome. Suddenly, a bright light surged ahead, with intense fluctuations of primordial star energy. Huang Long looked over and saw that the spirit of the Creation Axe and Emperor Bell were in the final stage of fusion. Prolific beams of brilliant light burst forth from the Chaos Bell. The Pangu primordial beasts and demon gods, formed from the Chaos Bell, wandered around in the surrounding space. After about fifteen minutes, the violent light gradually subsided, and all the primordial beasts and demon gods disappeared into the Chaos Bell, leaving only clusters of primordial star energy. This primordial star energy was different from the previous star energy of the Chaos Bell; after merging with the spirit of the Creation Axe, it became even purer and more powerful. Huang Long knew that the spirit of the Creation Axe and Emperor Bell had finally merged completely. At that moment, a giant axe appeared above the Chaos Bell—it was the Creation Axe. After the spirit of the Creation Axe merged with Emperor Bell, Emperor Bell disappeared, and now the spirit of the Creation Axe replaced him as the spirit of the Chaos Bell. After merging with Emperor Bell, the spirit of the Creation Axe became much more solid, and its aura was also stronger than before. “Master!” the Creation Axe said to Huang Long. Since it had chosen to merge with Emperor Bell, it could only address Huang Long as “master,” just like the Confucian Sage. Huang Long nodded with a smile. This trip to the Ruins Continent had been very fruitful! “The Hunyuan Sage is coming!” Suddenly, the voice of the World Tree rang out. “Good, then let’s leave here first!” Huang Long nodded. With a gesture of his hands, he absorbed the Chaos Bell into his body, then took off and flew out through the exit to the alternate space, with the Confucian Sage following closely behind.

Not long after Huang Long and the others left the alternate dimension, spatial fluctuations arose within it, and two people appeared. If Huang Long were here, he would recognize one of them as Bai Wuliang, the leader of the Wuliang Sect, the Sacred Lord Wuliang! The other person emitted a dragon aura as fierce and imposing as that of a prison, no less powerful than that of the Sacred Lord Golden Dragon! “It seems we arrived a step too late!” Bai Wuliang’s eyes sparkled with determination. “There are six auras here? One of them must belong to Jin Wuba!” said the Dragon Sacred Dragon standing beside Bai Wuliang in a deep voice. Bai Wuliang remained silent. Ever since he received Jin Wuba’s message, he had rushed here at full speed, only to find he was still too late. “Has Jin Wuba left? And what about the spirit of the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe?” The Dragon Sacred Dragon flew back and forth, a golden light radiating from its forehead across the surroundings. “Long Chen, let’s go. It seems they haven’t gone far!” Bai Wuliang said solemnly. Long Chen, the leader of the Panlong clan, the Sacred Lord Panlong, and also the father of the Panlong Sacred Maiden whom Huang Long had met before. “Alright!” Long Chen nodded. Instantly, the two of them vanished in a flash of light, leaving behind two streaks of brilliance, before chasing after the auras. After a while, they left the core area of the Ruins Continent. “The auras have disappeared?!” Bai Wuliang stopped in his tracks, frowning. The Wuliang divine light emanated from his body, layer after layer, illuminating hundreds of billions of miles around. “No response from Jin Wuba?” Long Chen’s expression also darkened. “None,” Bai Wuliang replied solemnly. “Who could it be? Could it be Xuanhuang? Or Wei Long? Or Wanmo?!” Long Chen frowned tightly. With no response from Jin Wuba, things seemed grim. In the entire universe, only a handful of people could capture Jin Wuba, Wu Tian, and the Confucian Sage.
