456: Take away the Dark Bell, who is in the cage?

“Ding-a-ling!!!”

A piercing sound rang out.

Time seemed to slow down infinitely.

Long Yu, still swinging her dragon blade in the air, had veins bulging in her eyes, and her body seemed to stiffen for a moment!

The dragon blade in her hand sharply changed direction, thrusting towards Fang Ran's face!

Facing Long Yu's sudden change in attack,

Fang Ran activated the Stardust Chain Technique, making her clear-headed for an instant.

In that instant, Long Yu's pupils gradually cleared, and seeing the figure before her, her heart pounded. She exerted all her strength, pulling the blade in her hand to strike an empty spot!

“Boom!!!”

She crashed into the ground like a cannonball.

The immense power created a massive crater in the ground, with cracks spreading for thousands of meters!

As the dust settled, Long Yu looked at her hand, tightly gripping the dragon blade; it was covered in fine beads of sweat. Everything that had just happened filled her with immense fear.

If she had really stabbed Fang Ran… if she had really killed him.

Long Yu had never realized how much she cared about someone.

She then stood up and looked towards the sky with her Dragon's Eyes. “What is that? What is that thing?”

In Buster's hand, there was a jet-black bronze bell.

The bell was extremely dark, absorbing the surrounding light.

Just a momentary tremor seemed to control her body, rendering Long Yu unable to move.

“You actually managed to dodge back?” Buster's face showed disappointment.

He took a deep breath.

Using the dark bell was still too taxing.

Not to mention, controlling two beings of a higher level than himself.

But everything was worth it; as long as he dealt with Fang Ran and his companions here, he would win!

“Ding-a-ling!!!”

Tremors appeared one after another!

The dark bell, as it swayed, emitted waves of pitch-black ripples!

The black ripples spread out, covering the bodies of Fang Ran and the others, as if stripping away the color of their bodies!

“Dark Bronze Bell, All Beings Return to Shadow!”

From within the bell, dark energy continuously emanated.

It covered the floors, it covered living beings, it covered the sky!

It was as if the entire world was enveloped in darkness, where one couldn't see their own hand in front of their face!

Fang Ran, Long Yu, and Xiao Nian were trapped within it, their bodies unable to move an inch, as if they themselves had become part of this darkness. No matter where they moved or looked, it was still darkness!

And that darkness continued to spread through the city.

Covering the streets, covering the buildings.

Yue Baojun and the others, who were planning to provide support, saw the overwhelming darkness approaching and felt an inexplicable sense of despair.

Nowhere to escape, nowhere to hide; the pitch-black seemed to even obscure the sun, constantly devouring everything in the city!

In an instant, it swallowed all living beings in the entire city!

On a distant mountain peak,

a creature craned its neck to look this way.

The entire city was enveloped by pillars of pitch-black, as if it had been erased from this world!

The darkness was incredibly profound, seemingly foreboding the abyss. Just looking at it from afar made some weaker creatures tremble with fear, as if awakening the most primal fear within their lives!

“Hmph, only by holding the dark bell can one walk in this darkness.”

“This is the true Dark Element, far from what you creatures can resist.”

Buster was shrouded in darkness.

An shadow dagger appeared in his hand.

“You're not bad; you actually forced me to waste the Dark Element stored in the dark bell.”

Buster originally thought that mental control would be enough to rule the Dragon Emperor.

He hadn't expected to be forced to use the Dark Element power from the bronze bell!

He held the dark bell.

He could perceive everything in this darkness.

He paced to Long Yu's vicinity; the first to be dealt with was the Emperor-level creature before him!

“Swish!”

Buster drew his dagger.

Just as he was about to thrust the dagger, a faint light seemed to glow in the boundless shadows!

The light was incredibly weak, yet it truly dispelled the darkness, appearing extremely dazzling in the space of this dark bell!

“Puff!!”

The dragon blade pierced out.

It mercilessly penetrated Buster's heart!

The surging, overbearing power within it ravaged his body, instantly cutting off his ability to move!

“You… why can you still move?!”

Fear appeared in Buster's eyes.

This was an outcome he had never anticipated; in the face of primal darkness, the true Dark Element, a creature could actually dispel the darkness?

Even Heavenly Beast-level powerhouses in their world shouldn't be able to move when facing the dark bell's attack; the creatures here should be even weaker!

“Hmm, I don't know either, but I'll gladly accept your dark bell.”

Long Yu's eyes were golden.

She reached out and took the dark bell from his hand.

Around Long Yu's neck hung a crystal-clear necklace, shining with pure light.

As the darkness receded, Fang Ran stood behind Long Yu at some unknown point.

She turned her head, then looked at the necklace around her neck and said, “It's you.”

The light from the necklace dispelled the surrounding darkness.

Though only for an instant.

But Long Yu still seized the opportunity.

“Hmm… it seems only superior elemental power can deal with superior elemental power.”

Fang Ran murmured to himself.

Only the light of a god could dispel the darkness of a god.

Although there was only a trace of Light Element power, it was enough to provide her with less than a second of action time.

The Azure Dragon carried Fang Ran to the ground; the surrounding people were all lying motionless, seemingly in a coma.

“This dark bell is a relic of a god.” Long Yu looked at the bell in her hand, deep in thought.

Once activated, the bell would be completely black; at this moment, it was just a dim bronze bell, but the power within it could easily allow one to dominate all living beings in a cage.

“You… you… actually have the Light Element, haha, indeed!” Buster coughed up a mouthful of blood, excitedly saying, “This is the tomb of gods! All gods, along with their elements, are buried here!”

No wonder the other party could dispel the light of the dark bell, which even Heavenly Beasts were helpless against!

Because the remains of Heavenly Beast-level creatures were buried here!

“A Heavenly Beast died here… exactly who is imprisoned in the cage?” Buster's eyes gradually darkened, and he murmured, “Eat me, you won…” A moment later, he was devoured by Xiao Nian, completely departing into the boundless darkness.

“Here, take it. It's useless to me, and I always feel uncomfortable carrying this thing.”

Long Yu threw the dark bell, and Fang Ran quickly caught it.

He glanced at Long Yu in front of him.

Useless to her? Everyone knew the value of this thing; the Dragon Emperor was starting to be insincere.

“Xiao Nian, put the dark bell away first.”

Fang Ran threw the dark bell.

Xiao Nian quickly caught it and stored it within her body.

Immediately, a feeling of extreme comfort surged in her heart.

“Human…”

An ethereal voice appeared beside Fang Ran's ear.

He turned his head; on the ground, trails of viscous fluid were appearing, gradually coalescing into the figure of a woman.
