The primordial source of the East Monarch, which had been constantly trembling, abruptly stopped at this moment, suspended in mid-air without moving.
Immediately afterward, the chains trembled, the runes exuding from her body gleamed brighter, and a powerful aura spread out, drawing the original source of the East Monarch towards Han Yuan.
At this juncture, the original source of the East Monarch suddenly radiated an unprecedented glimmer. Strands of Innate Dao Rhyme spread out, transmuting into the Order God Chain and breaking free from the restraints.
At this moment, the operations of heaven and earth resumed, and time began to flow again.
Upon seeing this, the figure resembling Donghuang Taiyi seemed somewhat surprised, and couldn’t help but say:
"Oh, you still have the strength to resist? It seems that during all these years you’ve escaped from Han Yuan, you’ve been amassing quite a lot of power."
As he said this, the figure resembling Donghuang Taiyi’s tone suddenly changed, coldly saying: "Even though you’ve become stronger, it’s not enough. If you think that with this, you can break free from my suppression, you’re greatly mistaken."
As he spoke, he made his move again, an endless surge of Heavenly Emperor’s aura burst forth, transforming into a colossal golden Dao Bell that descended towards the original source of the East Monarch.
Heavenly Immortal Indestructible Bell!
This Divine Ability, Jiang Chen recognized. It was the supreme skill of Donghuang Taiyi, derived from the Supreme Divine Power from the Chaos Bell, the Heavenly Immortal Indestructible Bell!
As the Heavenly Immortal Indestructible Bell pressed down, the original source of the East Monarch immediately felt a tremendous pressure. All his strength began to retract rapidly, and his glow dimmed slightly.
But his power just seemed to grow stronger.
Vaguely, one could even see a blurry silhouette within the original source of the East Monarch.
An unparalleled power burst forth from the original source of the East Monarch, successfully blocking the descending Heavenly Immortal Indestructible Bell.
Clang, clang, clang...
The Heavenly Immortal Indestructible Bell vibrated violently. With every tremor, a formidable force erupted, causing the void to collapse and time to stagnate.
Within the original source of the East Monarch, that blurry silhouette became increasingly clearer. It had a tall and lean body and pinched mysterious Tao symbols. Waves of Supreme Yang Power raged forth, burning all attacks into nothingness.
When Jiang Chen saw this figure pinching the Tao symbols, he felt a sense of mystery and comprehension. Unknowingly, a mysterious and powerful ability known as the Supreme Yang Seal materialized in his mind and was understood by him.
The Supreme Yang Seal was the Divine Ability displayed by the blurred figure. It was the epitome of Yang, the greatest and firmest.
This Divine Ability known as the Supreme Yang Seal truly embodies the ultimate Dao of the sun, with no Yin from Yang, nor evolution from the Great Sun.
All there was, was the power that could incinerate everything. Heaven and earth, the universe and the prehistoric world, all things in existence, could all be annihilated with one seal.
The one who created this Divine Ability was the innate Divine Saint of the Ancient Era, the Taowei Taoist, East Monarch!
If Jiang Chen is correct, that blurred silhouette should be the failsafe left behind by the East Monarch. It was precisely because of its existence that the original source of the East Monarch wasn’t completely sealed, allowing him to escape from Han Yuan.
Gazing at the blurred silhouette within the original source of the East Monarch, the figure resembling Donghuang Taiyi couldn’t help grinding his teeth in resentment, and berated: "East Monarch, you’ve been dead for so many years but you’re still lingering. You’re really detestable."
The appearance of East Monarch’s failsafe seemed to have angered him. With a furious roar, his body transformed into Heavenly Emperor’s aura and merged with the Heavenly Immortal Indestructible Bell in the air.
Clang, clang, clang...
In an instant, the power of the Heavenly Immortal Indestructible Bell skyrocketed. As the bell resonated, it appeared to possess an aura similar to the Chaos Bell. Heaven and earth collapsed, space-time ceased to exist, and all things returned to chaos.
"I see! He’s not the incarnation of Donghuang Taiyi, but rather Donghuang Taiyi’s Divine Ability. No wonder he calls Donghuang Taiyi his master."
"Divine Ability Spirit Awakening, this is the ultimate realm of the Divine Ability. Today, I’ve finally witnessed how powerful and mysterious it is as described in legends."
From this move by the figure resembling Donghuang Taiyi, Jiang Chen finally figured out his secret: he was not an incarnation of Donghuang Taiyi, but rather a manifestation of his Divine Ability.
The so-called "Law has a primordial spirit" and "Divine Ability Spirit Awakening" are the two ultimate realms in legends.
"Law has a primordial spirit" refers to the ability of a Law to produce wisdom and act spontaneously. "Divine Ability Spirit Awakening" is more profound, referring to a Divine Ability giving birth to wisdom, manifesting in human form, as if it truly possesses life.
That figure resembling Donghuang Taiyi was a product of Divine Ability Spirit Awakening. In the Ancient Era, Donghuang Taiyi cultivated the Heavenly Immortal Indestructible Bell to an unimaginable realm, enabling it to awaken and birth wisdom, taking on a physical form.
The man manifested by the Heavenly Immortal Indestructible Bell was the figure before Jiang Chen’s eyes.
He was a manifestation of Donghuang Taiyi’s Divine Ability, hence he called him Master.
As for his power, it was terribly formidable. At his full potential, it was equivalent to Donghuang Taiyi invoking the Heavenly Immortal Indestructible Bell with all his might, possessing the power to destroy the world.
However, he could only unleash such an attack once. Afterward, he would dissipate into the elemental energy of heaven and earth.
But it was precisely this one strike that only a few among the Great Divine Transcendents in the prehistoric world could withstand.
"This is bad. East Monarch couldn’t defeat Donghuang Taiyi when he was alive, let alone now that he’s dead. Under the attack of the Heavenly Immortal Indestructible Bell, I’m afraid he won’t last long."
