240: The diamond bracelet has appeared! Your treasure is mine now!

"soul shattering demon bell!"

The fierce reputation of this great sage weapon has long been etched into the bones of every high-level Cultivator in the Great Xia Divine Dynasty.

It is not a Magic Treasure, but a lethal weapon.

Rumor has it that this item uses the Divine Souls of a hundred thousand living beings as a catalyst, supplemented by Nine Nether Netherworld Iron, and was refined for a thousand years by an Ancient Devil Sect; it is malicious to the extreme.

Once the bell rings, it ignores any Physical Body defense and directly attacks the Divine Soul Origin.

Upon hearing it, those in the Saint King Realm would have their Dao Hearts shattered on the spot.

Even Great Sage experts, if they lack a supreme treasure for protection and allow this devilish sound to enter their bodies, would suffer the miserable fate of a severely damaged Divine Soul and regressed cultivation!

This thing is simply a taboo of the imperial family!

No one expected that Xiao Tiance would actually harbor such an ominous object, let alone dare to brazenly unleash it in the Qiankun Hall, right before the civil and military officials and the Empress!

"Stop! Xiao Tiance, have you gone mad?!"

"Stop at once! This is a forbidden item; do you intend to rebel?!"

Several military generals close to Xiao Tiance were scared to the point of Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, shouting sternly for him to stop.

But at this moment, Xiao Tiance's eyes were blood-red, his rationality long since completely swallowed by jealousy and humiliation.

On his face, only the madness and resentment of mutual destruction remained.

"Go to hell, Su Chen! I want your Divine Soul utterly destroyed, never to be reincarnated for all eternity!"

He let out a beast-like roar, burning and pouring all the remaining saint power in his body into the soul shattering demon bell.

Buzz, buzz, buzz—

The soul shattering demon bell emitted a tooth-aching vibration, and a pitch-black soundwave, invisible to the naked eye, like an invisible ripple of death, tore through space and stabbed toward the space between Su Chen's eyebrows like lightning!

A Divine Soul attack is formless and shapeless; it arrives the moment the thought arises!

It was unavoidable!

"Not good!"

Atop the Dragon throne, Ji Hongxue's expression changed drastically, no longer able to maintain her imperial composure.

Without a second thought, the Golden Dragon of National Fortune behind her let out a roar, and terrifying Dragon Qi was about to tear through the Barrier to forcibly save him!

However, her actions were a step too late.

Just a split second before that world-destroying Divine Soul soundwave was about to drill into Su Chen's Sea of Consciousness.

Su Chen smiled.

It was a wicked smile full of absolute control, like a hunter finally seeing his prey step into a trap.

"Finally willing to bring out something decent."

He lazily stretched, as if he hadn't even seen the lethal attack capable of instantly killing a Saint King.

He just slowly raised his right hand and flipped his wrist.

Buzz!

A bronze bracelet that looked ordinary, simple, and even bore some rust from the passage of time appeared out of thin air on his wrist.

vajra bracelet!

[Hehe, the appetizer is over; it's finally time for my treasure to take the stage.]

[A great sage weapon, huh? It looks quite valuable. Just right, let me test your quality!]

Su Chen looked at the oncoming soundwave of death, with not a hint of fear in his eyes; instead, they lit up with the light of anticipation.

Toward that incomparably arrogant soul shattering demon bell, he parted his thin lips and spat out a single word.

"Collect!"

The moment the word fell.

The vajra bracelet on his wrist suddenly lit up with a soft yet irresistible Black-Yellow Light!

The light was not dazzling, yet it was as heavy as a mountain, as if it contained some supreme Law that stood above all things!

An extremely eerie scene occurred!

The soul shattering demon bell, which had been incredibly fierce and seemed ready to destroy everything, was like a frightened rabbit meeting its natural enemy the moment it touched the Black-Yellow Light!

The cold Devilish Qi around it was suppressed on the spot!

That piercing Divine Soul devilish sound also came to an abrupt halt!

"Buzz... Buzz..."

The demon bell emitted a wail full of fear and unwillingness, its entire body trembling violently, actually wanting to turn around and flee!

Too late.

The Black-Yellow Light was like a maggot on a bone, turning into invisible chains that tightly bound it.

"No! Come back!"

The color instantly drained from Xiao Tiance's face; he could clearly feel the Divine Soul connection between himself and his Lifebound Treasure being forcibly severed by an irresistible mighty power!

He frantically pushed his Divine Thought, trying to recall the demon bell.

But the soul shattering demon bell only struggled symbolically a couple of times.

Then, with a "whoosh"!

It completely broke free from Xiao Tiance's control, turned into an insignificant black stream of light, and was very obediently sucked into the vajra bracelet on Su Chen's wrist!

The moment the soul shattering demon bell disappeared.

The entire Qiankun Hall once again fell into an eternal silence.

Everyone turned into stone statues.

Each one maintained an expression of horror, shock, or blankness, their mouths hanging open wide enough to fit an egg.

That... what kind of Magic Treasure is that?

A bracelet?

An ordinary-looking bracelet actually... instantly took away a great sage weapon that was being fully unleashed?!

What the hell level of Magic Treasure is this? An Emperor Weapon?!

No! Even a true Emperor Weapon couldn't perform such an unreasonable "collection"!

This scene completely shattered the common cultivation knowledge of everyone present!

"Pfft—!"

Inside the Barrier, Xiao Tiance's body shook violently as if struck by lightning, and he spat out another large mouthful of Heart's Blood, his aura instantly withering.

His Lifebound Treasure being forcibly taken and his Divine Soul connection severed was more painful than killing him!

He stared blankly at the empty space before him, then at the simple bracelet on Su Chen's wrist, his eyes filled only with endless dullness and despair.

It's gone... the lifebound great sage weapon he had refined for decades, spent countless efforts on, and regarded as his greatest trump card... just like that... changed owners?

He felt as if his sky had collapsed.

Meanwhile, Su Chen acted as if he had done something insignificant.

He raised his hand, playing with the "full" vajra bracelet on his wrist with great interest.

He could clearly feel that inside the vajra bracelet, the soul shattering demon bell was struggling violently, but was being suppressed so tightly by an even stronger power that it couldn't move at all.

[Not bad, not bad, this vajra bracelet is indeed powerful! As expected of a System product, it's definitely a high-quality item!]

He looked up at Xiao Tiance, who was now completely despondent like a defeated rooster, a playful smile appearing on his face.

"Thanks."

His voice wasn't loud, but it was like a resounding slap across the faces of everyone in the hall.

"I was just worried about having nothing to test it on."
