I Truly Am The Villian Chapter 2353 - 2352: The Eternal Bell Emerges, Intelligence Entity

All things in heaven and earth possess a spirit.

And the so-called spirit is not a life form, but rather a form of intelligence.

They cannot enjoy the true coexistence of consciousness and a physical body like living beings.

But as an intelligent entity, their existence is profound and enduring.

The original form of the Eternal Bell was an item used to warn and awaken the Eternal Emperor Leader during his Enlightenment.

Later, after spending a long time with the Eternal Emperor Leader, it gradually developed divinity.

The Eternal Emperor Leader began to take care in cultivating it.

When the Eternal Emperor Leader passed away, he purposefully left this item behind.

Firstly, to suppress the fortune of the Eternal Dynasty.

For the establishment of the dynasty, he put in a great deal of effort and naturally hoped the dynasty would last forever.

Secondly, because the Eternal Bell already had a spirit and could completely serve as the trump card of the Eternal Dynasty.

Earlier, Xu Zimei felt a divine sense lock onto him, which was the doing of the Eternal Bell.

A forbidden formation is arranged around Eternal City.

The core of this formation is the Eternal Bell.

At this moment, Sikong Zhaixing and others knelt on the ground, beginning to pray for the appearance of the Eternal Bell.

Although they were unsure of Xu Zimei's strength,

being wanted by the Divine Court was already telling.

And didn't they witness Xia Longwu just now, who fell down unable to stand and blood flowed like a river due to a mere hum from the other?

To know, Xia Longwu's strength was considered among the top in Eternal City.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have become a nail for the Divine Court, nailed within Eternal City.

Not just anyone qualifies to become a pawn or a nail.

Even if Sikong Zhaixing himself took action, he understood that while he might defeat Xia Longwu, he couldn't kill him.

...…

Xu Zimei did not stop the others.

Sikong Zhaixing and his group continued to pray.

Xu Zimei watched them with interest.

Meanwhile, Xu Sanduo was trembling with fear, unable to recover for quite some time.

The individuals before him were the kind who could cause an earthquake in the Eternal Dynasty with a mere stomp of their foot.

For a civilian living in the Eternal Dynasty, the spectacle before their eyes was truly overwhelming.

After all, these were figures who used to be high above, akin to existing amidst the clouds.

"Watch closely," Xu Zimei said to Xu Sanduo.

"In the face of absolute power, all identities are essentially illusions."

"Are you going to destroy the Eternal Dynasty, sir?" Xu Sanduo asked.

He hadn't spent much time with Xu Zimei and didn't know him well.

But Xu Sanduo could sense that.

Xu Zimei was the kind of person who had no taboos.

He acted entirely according to his whims; the number or type of people he killed was irrelevant to him.

Which meant that if Xu Zimei wished, he could easily destroy the Eternal Dynasty.

And he wouldn't care about others' opinions.

This was also what intrigued Xu Sanduo.

"Does destroying the Eternal Dynasty hold any significance for me?" Xu Zimei countered.

"It's nothing more than a waste of time."

"I can't be bothered to destroy the Eternal Dynasty, but today I might well destroy the entire Eternal City."

Xu Sanduo's heart skipped a beat.

Eternal City is the dynasty's capital—if this place is destroyed, what meaning remains for the Eternal Dynasty?

Then the other counties would be nothing more than scattered sand, and it's hard to believe they won't fall apart soon.

"Do you know the Eternal Bell?" Xu Zimei asked.

"I've heard it's a divine artifact, a national treasure," Xu Sanduo replied.

...…

At this moment, throughout Eternal City.

The sound of a bell rang out.

Its tone was like boiling, gradually accelerating and rising in pitch.

"Boom, boom, boom."

The sound echoed endlessly, reminiscent of an ancient, enduring horn.

Upon hearing this sound, everyone in Eternal City stopped what they were doing and looked up to the firmament.

As the bell tolled, beams of blue light soared into the sky, illuminating the heights above.

Majestic and ancient, the blue light spiraled upward like a Green Luan flapping its wings with a clang.

"The Eternal Bell, the Eternal Bell has appeared."

An elder began to shout excitedly.

The younger generation had yet to truly see the Eternal Bell, only heard of it in legends.

They couldn't help but ask, "Could there be a great enemy? Otherwise, why would the Eternal Bell appear casually?"

"The nation is peaceful, protected by the Divine Spirits—what great enemy could exist now?!"

The people were discussing fervently, all deeply puzzled.

...…

While above, hearing the toll of the bell, Sikong Zhaixing and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The Lord of the Eternal Bell was willing to intervene.

Though it was a divine artifact, having developed intelligence.

Within the Eternal Dynasty, other than the past Emperor, its status was higher than anyone's.

The successive Sovereigns greatly revered it.

If the Eternal Bell was unwilling, they couldn't force its hand.

...…

Now, as the Green Luan gradually settled.

A man dressed in ancient yet simple green robes emerged.

He gave off an ethereal yet heavy and timeless aura.

As if he had walked from the ancient past.

His eyes lacked the slightest emotion.

But as his gaze moved across everyone present, they all felt utterly transparent.

"I've not seen someone like you for a very long time."

The man's gaze finally landed on Xu Zimei, slowly speaking.

His voice was soft yet struck directly at one's core, like a bell.

No matter what one was thinking, it would forcibly make them hear him.

The sound spread persistently, ancient yet tyrannical.

Upon hearing this, Xu Zimei chuckled.

He said, "I've seen spirits in divine artifacts."

"But one as intelligent as you, this is my first encounter."

In a certain sense.

The Eternal Bell before him, solely in terms of wisdom, surpassed most humans.

If it were given more time to grow, it might truly undergo a transformation.

Xu Zimei stated, "You shouldn't involve yourself in this; divine artifacts are rare, but I won't hold back."

The man shook his head lightly.

He said, "The Eternal Emperor Leader left me here to guard Eternal City."

"Now that the chance is here, I surely cannot stand by."

"Someone of your level of power, I've only felt on the leader before."

"It's been ages since I've faced anyone—I admit, I'm excited, feels like my blood is burning."

Hearing this, Xu Zimei slowly unsheathed his Tyrant Shadow.

He said lightly, "Meeting an opponent worthy of combat certainly is a joy."

"But you're mistaken; I'm not the Eternal Emperor Leader; my presence for you signifies a dimension-reduction strike."

Upon hearing Xu Zimei's words, the Eternal Bell had not yet spoken, but Sikong Zhaixing and others displayed dire expressions.
