Journey to the West: Demon Emperor: Beginning as a Little Toad

Chapter 467: "Donghuang Bell" Appears

Chapter 467: "Donghuang Bell" Appearsskyline.

Outside Nantianmen.

The flames of war were raging and the shouts of killing shook the sky.

"The Tianhe navy was defeated..."

In the camp of the Heavenly Army, someone exclaimed.

The Great Emperor Zhenwu stood with his hands behind his back, his black battle robe fluttering in the strong wind, his eyes as sharp as torches, staring intently at the Tianhe navy that was being defeated like a tide.

The naval officers and soldiers under Marshal Tianpeng were defeated by the anti-heaven army's fierce attack like a storm.

The Tianhe navy's formation had already been in chaos, and the soldiers had thrown away their weapons and armor, and were in a mess, fleeing in all directions on the chaotic battlefield.

The Great Emperor Zhenwu frowned slightly, drew out his "Demon Slayer Sword", and gave the order in a deep voice:"Giant lions, fierce beasts and poisonous dragons, listen to my orders!"

"Quickly charge from the left and right wings and tear open the anti-heaven army's defenses!"

In an instant, a thunderous roar sounded.

"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"

……

A group of giant lions, ferocious beasts and poisonous dragons suddenly rushed out of the army formation like black lightning.

The giant lions are huge in size, with rough skin and flesh, and immense strength. They open their bloody mouths, revealing fangs as sharp as knives, and every step they take makes the clouds shake.

The ferocious poisonous dragon has a nimble body and is surrounded by poisonous fog. Wherever it goes, the poisonous fog is everywhere.

These two fearless and extraordinary troops, like two extremely sharp blades, fiercely penetrated into the anti-heaven army camp from the left and right sides. Wherever they passed, blood and flesh flew everywhere and screams were heard.

After saying this, the Great Emperor Zhenwu turned his gaze to the Deputy Marshal Tianyou, and said solemnly:"Vice Marshal Tianyou, the situation is critical now. I would like to trouble you to lead the Five Thunder Gods and other soldiers to immediately support the Tianhe Navy. Do not let the anti-heaven army advance any further!"

"Heaven's will is in order."

Deputy Marshal Tianyou nodded slightly with a firm look on his face.

"open!"

He shouted loudly, and fairy light burst out around his body, and he instantly revealed his true body.

In an instant, the body of Deputy Marshal Tianyou suddenly grew to a height of ten feet. Three ferocious heads grew between his neck and four arms grew on his shoulders.

The four arms of Deputy Marshal Tianyou each hold a spear, a flaming bow, a sharp sword, a phoenix-wing gilded drill and many other magical weapons. He exudes tremendous immortal power and is awe-inspiring and imposing.

"Tianyou, Tianyou, with four arms on his shoulders and three heads on his neck."

"The wind is howling, the fog is whirling. Kill all the monsters you see, and capture all the ghosts you encounter!"

Deputy Marshal Tianyou was muttering something.

Deputy Marshal Tianyou suddenly exerted force with his left arms and pulled the flaming bow to its full length like a full moon. A raging flame condensed on the bowstring, making a crackling sound. The flames seemed to set the world on fire, and the surrounding space was distorted by the burning.

The phoenix-wing gilded hammer on his right arm shone with a cold and fierce light, carrying an indomitable and powerful momentum, as if it was determined to chop down all the enemies in the world.

"Five Thunder Gods, follow me!"

He shouted loudly, and took the lead, charging towards the anti-heaven army.

Deputy Marshal Tianyou had three heads and four arms, was dressed in golden armor, held a spear in his hand, and rushed into the enemy camp in an instant, riding the gust of wind. Wherever he went, the soldiers of the anti-Tian army fell to the ground, screaming in agony.

Seeing this, the morale of the Leibu soldiers behind him was greatly boosted, and they followed him shouting like a tide.

At this moment.

"Boom!"

……

The sky was filled with thunderclouds, like a huge black iron pot upside down above the battlefield.

There were flashes of lightning and thunder, with streaks of lightning piercing through the clouds like silver snakes.

Deputy Marshal Tianxian led the Five Thunder Gods and quickly formed a battle array in the five directions of east, south, west, north and center, forming the "Five-Direction Thunder Array" with infinite power.

In an instant, hundreds of heavenly thunders roared down from the five directions, and long purple lightning whips lashed fiercely at the anti-heaven army's camp.

"what!"

……

Wherever the purple electric whip went, flames shot up into the sky and screams were heard.

At this moment.

The anti-heaven army's camp and the periphery were attacked by the heavenly army. The shouts and calls were intertwined together, creating a mess, like a tangled mess ravaged by a strong wind, with no order at all.

However, the anti-heaven army's camp was still well-ordered and as stable as a rock.

Dongfang Shuo looked calm, standing quietly in the center of the Eight Diagrams, holding tightly in his hand the "Dragon Head Cane", the innate magical treasure of the King of East.

The nine elders of Yingzhou each used their magical powers and formed their own formations.

The divine general Cang He will guard the Qian position, the divine general Chen Ye will guard the Kun position, the divine general Lian Song will guard the Zhen position... The Nine Elders of Yingzhou cooperate with each other to form the momentum of the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams.

Hundreds of thousands of overseas immortals stepped on cloud patterns, forming the "Zhou Tian Zi Fu Shao Yang Formation". As the formation was operating, it seemed that stars were twinkling and purple air was rising.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth from the three islands and ten continents, including Penglai Fairy Island, Fangzhang Fairy Mountain, and Yingzhou Island, gathered continuously as if summoned, like gurgling streams flowing into rivers, providing a continuous supply of endurance for the "Zhoutian Zifu Shaoyang Array".

With the help of Emperor Donghua's innate pure yang sword energy, they condensed a thousand-foot-long pure yang flaming sword in the formation.

The ten thousand foot long pure yang flaming sword swept towards the generals of the Thunder Department.

"Zheng! Zheng! Zheng!"

……

The pure Yang sword energy was flying, carrying with it a hot and sharp aura. Wherever it went, the space was burned and distorted.

"Boom!"

……

The lightning snakes summoned by the generals of the Thunder Department danced wildly with purple lightning, constantly colliding with the Pure Yang sword energy, making bursts of deafening roars.

For a time, the generals of the Thunder Department and the anti-heaven army were engaged in a fierce melee.

The sounds of shouting, weapons clashing, and spells roaring were intertwined together.

Just when the two sides were fighting fiercely.

"out!"

Emperor Donghua looked indifferent. He flicked his sleeve lightly and a treasure flew out and flew across the sky.

This object is an ancient bell of dark yellow color. The body of the bell is thick and simple, as if carrying the vicissitudes of time and the weight of history.

Its edges are covered with jagged lines, as if it had gone through countless battles and trials.

The body of the bell is covered in a layer of bronze light, and wisps of chaotic aura flow on its surface. It is mysterious and daunting.

This ancient bell is as big as a human body, and the bell body is engraved with totems of various primitive creatures, including a dragon soaring in the sky, a giant beast galloping on the ground, and a fairy bird spreading its wings and flying high...

The chaotic aura formed vortex-shaped halos that surrounded the bell, as if they were passages leading to another mysterious world.

A golden vortex-shaped passage has formed inside the bell. Amidst the flickering light, one can vaguely see the strange sights of stars moving and space folding, as if hiding the most profound mysteries of the ancient world.

"Clang, clang, clang!"

……

Emperor Donghua looked calm and gently raised his hand to clap the bell.

The sound of the bell resounded between heaven and earth. It seemed to come from the ancient times, like the first roar of the universe, containing endless divine power. In an instant, the sound of the bell echoed, shaking the universe, shaking the universe and the heaven and earth.

The sound of the bell seemed to have an invisible power. Wherever it reached, the camp of the Heavenly Army was instantly thrown into chaos.

The heavenly soldiers felt that the sound of the bells was like sharp blades, piercing their eardrums and stinging their souls.

"what!"

……

They covered their ears and wailed in pain, with distorted and hideous expressions on their faces, as if they were enduring the cruelest torture in the world.

The originally neat and orderly formation became chaotic at this moment. The soldiers fell to the ground, collided with each other, and completely lost the order of fighting.

……

skyline.

At the South Gate of Heaven, a solemn and murderous atmosphere permeated the air.

General Juanlian had a stern expression and eyes as fast as lightning as he scanned the surroundings. He led his troops to guard the Nantianmen Gate tightly and the defense was extremely strict.

Behind him, there were many heavenly soldiers and generals lined up densely. They were wearing distinctive armor, holding weapons, and looking alert, ready to deal with any possible crisis at any time.

Xiao Chen and Princess Wansheng were also mixed in among this group of heavenly soldiers and generals.

After all, they, the members of the "Heavenly Turtle Catching Team", had been through life and death together with General Juanlian in Fangzhang Immortal Mountain. In the test of that life and death battlefield, they had also gained the trust of General Juanlian.

Today, the brothers Yang Guoshan and Yang Long can barely be considered as General Juanlian's "confidants".

However, the war situation is urgent now, and the Heavenly Court’s dispatch procedures are cumbersome.

Before they had the chance to be formally transferred to General Juanlian's side, they had already hurriedly arrived at the South Gate of Heaven with the army.

"Donghuang Bell?"

When Xiao Chen heard the sound of the bell, his body shook and a strange feeling instantly surged into his heart.

He subconsciously sensed the piece of Donghuang Bell fragment in his "small world in his stomach".

In an instant, Xiao Chen felt that the fragment became extremely hot and was still trembling slightly, as if it was moving.

Now, the abnormal reaction of the fragment of the Donghuang Bell caused countless speculations to arise in Xiao Chen's mind.

"It's obvious that either the main body of the Donghuang Bell is nearby, and its powerful aura caused the fragments to resonate, just like two magnets attracting each other."

"Or there are other fragments of the Donghuang Bell nearby, and they are inductively connected to each other."

Xiao Chen said in his heart.

……

In Xiniuhezhou, the mountains are rolling and undulating, like sleeping dragons, winding and lingering across the vast land.

In the middle, there is a mountain standing tall and reaching into the sky.

The mountains are covered with lush forests, with green pines and cypresses standing tall and vigorous, and green willows and red peaches complementing each other. Sometimes birds chat happily on the branches, and their clear chirping echoes in the valley.

This mountain is called "Futu Mountain" by people.

Between the walls of Futu Mountain, dense branches and leaves are stacked up like a huge green curtain. Deep inside this curtain, there is a seemingly inconspicuous crow's nest.

It is close to the mountain wall and is tightly hidden by branches and leaves. If you don't look carefully, it is almost impossible to detect its existence.

However, this crow's nest may look ordinary, but it actually hides a world of its own. Lotus flowers are blooming inside the nest, and auspicious mist is lingering, making it look like an independent little world.

At this time, inside the crow's nest, Zen Master Wuchao (Taoist Lu Ya) was sitting cross-legged with his eyes slightly closed, as if in deep meditation.

Suddenly, he murmured:

"Chaos Clock..."

Taoist Lu Ya frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something, or as if he was sensing some mysterious power.

After a moment, Taoist Lu Ya shook his head.

But in the end, he still flashed and turned into a brilliant golden rainbow, leaving the crow's nest and rushing towards the heaven.

……

"what?"

The originally calm expression of Emperor Zhenwu changed drastically in an instant, his eyes opened wide, filled with incredible shock.

The Great Emperor Zhenwu's eyes were fixed on the ancient and mysterious giant bell in front of him. He was attracted by it and could no longer look away. A storm surged in his heart:

"This is... this is the Donghuang Bell?"

The Great Emperor Zhenwu was shocked.

After all, the Chaos Bell is one of the three supreme innate magic weapons that were transformed after Pangu's Axe created the world!When this bell sounded, the sky and earth lost their color, and the wind and clouds changed color.

Because the Chaos Bell is owned by the Demon King Donghuang Taiyi, people often call it the "Donghuang Taiyi Bell" or simply the "Donghuang Bell".

When it comes to the power of the Donghuang Bell, there is simply no need to say more.

Anyone holding this bell can sweep across the world and be invincible.

Not only can it transform into the gate to heaven and suppress the luck of heaven, making heaven as stable as a mountain, it also has the incredible ability to travel through time and space and imprison space.

Even when facing saint-level attacks, the "Donghuang Bell" can resist to a certain extent, and can be regarded as a top-notch treasure between heaven and earth.

Although the Great Emperor Zhenwu has now transformed into the body of Zhenwu and is no longer the former Zuxuanwu, he still retains some of Zuxuanwu's memories in his body.

Deep in those ancient memories, he had witnessed with his own eyes the terrifying power of the Donghuang Bell.

Those earth-shattering attacks and the devastating scenes are still vivid in his mind, leaving him with lingering fears.

The bell in front of me, with its simple and rustic body, its mysterious patterns, and the faint aura of chaos...both its appearance and the aura it exudes are extremely similar to the Donghuang Bell in my memory.

But his heart was full of doubts. Didn’t the Donghuang Bell disappear in the earth-shattering battle between the Lich and the Wizard?In that battle, the heaven and earth collapsed, the sun and moon lost their light, countless powerful men fell, and the Donghuang Bell also lost its trace in the chaotic battlefield, becoming an unsolved mystery of the prehistoric world.

How could it suddenly appear in the hands of Emperor Donghua?However, the current situation did not allow Emperor Zhenwu to think too much.

On the battlefield, the situation changes rapidly.

The oppressive and terrifying force is approaching with overwhelming force, and every second of hesitation may bring about a catastrophic disaster.

"Defense, quick defense, quick defense!"

"Keep your head down!"

"Xuanwu shrinks its head and forms a defensive formation!"

The Great Emperor Zhenwu shouted loudly, quickly drew out the black carved flag, and commanded the Xuanwu clan to quickly form a defensive formation.

You know, among the four spirits of heaven and earth, the Azure Dragon in the East, the White Tiger in the West, the Vermillion Bird in the South, and the Black Tortoise in the North, the Black Tortoise clan has the strongest defense.

The Xuanwu clan is born with an indestructible defensive power, like a moving shield.

In an instant.

"The mysterious and the void respond, and the tortoise and the snake merge into one."

"Turtle and snake merge, the mighty Xuanwu!"

The Black Snake God General and the Turtle God General were in perfect sync. In a flash, they merged into the giant Black Tortoise beast.

The giant black tortoise was huge in size, standing on the battlefield like a small mountain, exuding an ancient and heavy aura.

At this critical moment, the heads of the black snake and the turtle warrior shrank instantly, leaving only a huge, mountain-like "shrunken black tortoise" form.

This seemingly funny action is actually the strongest defensive posture of the Xuanwu clan. They use their hard tortoise shells to protect the most vulnerable parts of their bodies, which can minimize the damage from external attacks and maximize their defense.

Every member of the Xuanwu clan used all their strength to mobilize their own magical power, and gathered the power of the entire Xuanwu clan together to form an indestructible line of defense, forming the "Turtle and Snake Combined Xuanwu Formation."

at this time.

The mysterious "Donghuang Bell" suddenly enlarged, and the body of the bell emitted a dazzling golden light, like a blazing sun rising from the chaos, illuminating the entire battlefield.

The light was so bright and dazzling, like the blazing sun in the sky, that everyone present couldn't help but squint their eyes.
