Seeing Song Zhong's sudden display of power, Empress Houtu was also taken aback. She never thought that Song Zhong could have such magical skills that could elevate him to the emperor level in an instant!
The emperor-level powerhouse and the Hunyuan Golden Immortal are completely different concepts. The gap between the two sides is so huge that it is simply immeasurable. An emperor-level powerhouse, even without using any innate treasures, can defeat dozens of Hunyuan Golden Immortals with just his magic power.
As for the supreme artifact, in the hands of Hunyuan Golden Immortal, it is difficult to exert more than three levels of power, but in the hands of an emperor-level expert, it can at least exert 70% to 80% of its power.
Of course, Song Zhong has only reached the level of strength now, and his true state is not enough to be compared with the emperor-level powerhouse. Therefore, it is impossible for him to exert all the combat power of an emperor-level powerhouse, but even so, he should be able to exert about 60% of the power of the Chaos Bell, which is twice as powerful as before!
As a result, the situation was completely different, so much so that even the Houtu Shrine of Queen Houtu was shaken.
However, Empress Houtu is a saint-level powerhouse after all, and even a ray of divine consciousness is not that easy to offend.
After experiencing a brief shock, she became serious, moved her hands repeatedly, and began to truly activate the Houtu Temple to fight against Song Zhong.
With Empress Houtu's continuous stimulation, Houtu Temple finally showed the power of the supreme artifact.
I saw it suddenly burst into light, and countless mysterious earth-colored divine inscriptions flew down at the same time. Some of these divine inscriptions were combined into layers of protection to resist the attack of the Chaos Bell, while others were scattered on the nearby Blood Lotus Island and took root in them, disappearing without a trace.
As the supreme artifact of the earth element, the Houtu Temple can command everything related to earth in the world. After the divine words it released took root on Blood Lotus Island, it immediately began to absorb the rustic atmosphere of the island.
Everyone saw long dragons composed of rustic spirits rising from various places on the island, and then rushed into the Houtu Temple.
Although the entire Blood Lotus Island is not very big, it is still millions of miles across. In addition, this is the foundation of Blood River Ancestor. I don’t know how many formations have been blessed. The entire land has become extremely solid and the earthy atmosphere is extremely strong. .
So when the Houtu Temple was absorbing it with all its strength, there were countless earth dragons formed on the entire Blood Lotus Island. They were just like crucian carp crossing the river, countless. They were like a plague of locusts, carrying the extremely rich earthy atmosphere, rushing in from all directions and blending into the Houtu Temple.
After receiving this massive amount of earth energy, the Houtu Temple immediately became extremely powerful as if it had taken a big tonic. The tyrannical rustic spirit, wrapped in countless mysterious divine texts, suddenly burst out.
In an instant, there was only the boundless earth-colored divine light left in the sky and the earth, as well as the mysterious divine inscriptions hidden in it. This piece of divine light formed a boundless tide of terror and struck Song Zhong fiercely. Wherever it passed, the space collapsed. Don't let it wither. No living thing can survive.
Such a terrifying blow, not even the golden light released by the Chaos Bell could withstand it, and was forced to retreat.
Houtu Temple's display of power not only defused the Chaos Bell's tyrannical offensive, but also took the opportunity to launch a counterattack. Although it failed to break the Chaos Clock's abnormal protection in the end, it did frighten Song Zhong!
…
Empress Houtu also knew that she could not break the protection of the Chaos Bell, so she was too lazy to put in more effort. She slowly put away the divine power of the Houtu Temple, and then said lightly: "Song Zhong, you don't understand the meaning of the Supreme Artifact at all. , let alone exerting their power. In your hands, this Chaos Clock may not even be able to exert 30% of its power. If this is all you can do, I advise you to admit defeat as soon as possible!"
Song Zhong also knew at this time that something was wrong. It turned out that this was how the supreme artifact worked. It could also borrow the vitality of the surrounding heaven and earth. If it could be borrowed endlessly, wouldn't the Houtu Temple be invincible
Moreover, after he was promoted to the emperor level, he activated the Chaos Bell with all his strength and obviously released about 60% of its power. Why did Empress Houtu only say that it was only 30%
Thinking of this, Song Zhong frowned and asked: "My Lady, is there anything special about the Supreme Artifact that I haven't noticed?"
"Of course, the reason why the Supreme Artifact is called the Supreme Artifact has its own uniqueness, but the secret is too complicated and cannot be explained clearly at the moment!" Empress Houtu said unhurriedly: "In short, it's simple In other words, the supreme artifact can be combined with the Great Dao, thereby borrowing part of the power of the Dao of Heaven and exerting power far beyond imagination."
"That's it!" Song Zhong nodded and said with enlightenment: "Your Houtu Temple is the ancestor of all earth, so it naturally borrows the power of the earth and earth. But my Chaos Bell does not seem to have this expertise. What power does it borrow?"
"Haha, speaking of it, your Chaos Clock is the most powerful, otherwise it wouldn't be called the first of the nine artifacts!" Empress Houtu said with a smile: "As for what kind of power he borrowed, I actually don't know very well. , I only know that his power seems to be related to the Divine Bead of Creation!"
"The Divine Pearl of Creation?" Song Zhong heard this and immediately asked in confusion: "That is just a space item for storing things. What role can it play?"
"What happened to the giant? Only Donghuang, the first owner of the Chaos Clock, knows!" Empress Houtu then persuaded, "At the beginning, it was precisely because Donghuang discovered this secret that the power of the Chaos Clock was fully developed, and in one fell swoop Becoming the head of the Nine Divine Artifacts threatens the status of other great powers, and brings about the disaster of death for yourself. So I advise you, before your strength has grown, you should not easily understand the Divine Orb of Creation, so as not to encounter unexpected events! "
Empress Houtu's words were an admonition to Song Zhong, and at the same time she wanted to make Song Zhong admit defeat and leave quickly. She really didn't want to fight Song Zhong anymore. Because if they fight again, she doesn't know if she can win.
You know, this is the Nether Sea of Blood after all, and the blood is endless. However, the rustic spirit that Houtu Shrine needs is only available on Blood Lotus Island. And this island is really not very big, and the rustic atmosphere it provides is limited, at least not enough for the Houtu Shrine.
After all, Song Zhong's Chaos Bell is the supreme artifact. Even if it cannot attack the Houtu Temple, it can still protect itself. At least Houtu Empress has no way to break the protection of the Supreme Artifact, even if she removes all the rusticity from Blood Lotus Island.
That's why Empress Houtu warned Song Zhong earnestly, with the purpose of telling him to retreat and stop fighting!
…
It's a pity that Empress Houtu obviously underestimated Song Zhong's stubbornness and understanding. After listening to Empress Houtu's words, Song Zhong's first thought was not to retreat at all, but how to exert the power of the Divine Pearl of Creation.
Song Zhong was inspired by the Houtu Shrine's ability to absorb earthy energy, and thought to himself, 'Houtu Temple can absorb the surrounding earthy energy, so can my Chaos Bell directly absorb all kinds of immortal energy in the natal space? Even I can absorb it myself, so the Chaos Clock must also be able to absorb it, right? '
Thinking of this, Song Zhong's eyes suddenly lit up, and then his mind sank into the Divine Bead of Creation and the Chaos Bell, directly connecting the two treasures.
In the past, Song Zhong also suspected that they were connected, so he contacted them in this way, but without any results.
But this time it is different. The Chaos Bell is fighting fiercely with the Houtu Temple, and it is still at a disadvantage. It is in urgent need of a large amount of fairy energy. Therefore, after the two are connected together, the fairy energy inside the Creation God Pearl will immediately flow like a tide. Generally instill the past into the Chaos Clock.
This time, Song Zhong finally understood. Normally, there is no crisis between the two artifacts, so they are like strangers. But once they encounter a crisis, they will immediately help each other.
The Divine Pearl of Creation will definitely spare no effort in helping the Chaos Bell. In the tens of millions of miles of space inside it, all the immortal energy was almost drained away, and in the blink of an eye, it was instilled into the Chaos Clock.
Although Song Zhong used part of the immortal energy to temporarily increase his strength to the emperor level. But he only used a small part of it. After all, the density of immortal energy in this space is so dense that it can condense immortal jade. The amount of immortal energy contained in tens of millions of miles of space is really terrifying. There are so many that it’s almost unbelievable!
After receiving the support of the terrifying fairy energy from the natal space, the momentum of the Chaos Bell changed instantly. The golden light that suddenly bloomed from the body was as rich as fire. It was so terrifying that it even destroyed the surrounding space. .
Subsequently, the Chaos Bell, whose strength had increased dramatically, rang automatically without the need for Song Zhong to activate it, and launched a wave of offensive towards the Houtu Temple. The bright golden light tore the surrounding space into pieces, bringing with it a wave of attacks. A terrifying aura that destroyed everything rolled in.
Upon seeing this, Empress Houtu's face suddenly changed. She no longer dared to fight head-on, and hurriedly urged the Houtu Temple to retreat quickly. At the same time, she did not forget to spray out layers of divine light to protect her rear.
Once the Chaos Bell exerts its power, the Houtu Temple is obviously inferior. The divine light it emits will instantly collapse and turn into ashes if it comes into contact with the opponent. Obviously, without absorbing enough rustic energy, the Houtu Temple is not even a little bit worse than the Chaos Clock that has absorbed enough immortal energy!
However, after all, the Houtu Temple is also a supreme artifact, so after a slight resistance from the divine light, it escaped from the Chaos Bell's attack range unharmed and ran tens of millions of miles away.
