Chaos Devourer System - Chapter 617

Chapter 617: Ringing The Bell
“By a stroke of good fortune…” Zeras replied to the man who looked at him dubiously, before turning to the remaining two arts.

“I’m guessing since you have managed to cultivate the Nine Star Hegemony art, you should be able to cultivate the Nine Stars Fist art, right?” he asked as Zeras nodded.

“Also, that too is incomplete. There are only the Heart of Hegemony and the Fist of an Angered God. The others are all missing…” Zeras mused out loud as the man nodded before turning to the last one.

“And this one?”

“The Star Sword Manual is an Astral-based technique with a total of five techniques. The first is the Melody of Sweet Dreams, the second is Tempest of the Star Form, the third is the Pillar of Sprinkling Dust, the fourth is Cage of Starlight, but I have yet to practice the fifth. I don’t have enough time…” Zeras said as the elder nodded.

“It’s already commendable you can reach the fourth stage in a year. Then, you can take this back with you and bring it back to me in two months. That should give you enough time to fully practice the technique then…” the man said as he returned one of the manuals back to him, and a big smile bloomed on Zeras’ face.

“The later stages of the Nine Star Manual are only on the higher floors. You can’t touch those places unless you are an inner sect member…” the elder said as Zeras’ eyes furrowed before he nodded.

At least he knew the other manuals are just on the higher floors. If they had been in the Cangu Universe, then it would have been a headache and his cultivation might get stalled. All he needed to do was take the test and become an inner sect member. Then he would come back and retrieve the other manuals of the techniques…

“Thank you for the techniques, old man. I’ll be returning soon to check the higher manuals…” Zeras said as he gave a small bow before immediately moving towards the exit.

“You plan on ringing the bell to get in, don’t you?” the old man suddenly said as Zeras paused just a step away from exiting the Martial God Hall.

“Yes. That’s my only chance…” Zeras replied.

“Then go all out. Or you’ll lose… and fall… Forever!” the man said to him as Zeras’ eyebrows creased slightly, but it soon settled as a light flashed in his eyes.

“Thank you, old man…” Zeras replied to him and then he moved out of the hall…

“A blood that can practice all that is forbidden. I really hope he’s not the one…” the old man said, scrubbing his beard before standing up and walking towards the bronze door to return the manuals…

————————

A conviction to his every step and his eyes as sharp as a blade, he entered into the large gate of the Inner Sect members, his eyes locked down on the large bell that he could already see in the farthest distance.

Among the group of waltzing inner sects, he was easily identifiable, mainly because of his uniform which was clearly that of an inner sect, yet the air of aura surrounding him made them easily guess who he truly was and the mere reasoning of who he really could be made their hearts thump slightly as they all turned to look at him, slowly disappearing into the far distance, with not a single haste to his step at all.

Less than fifty meters away from the bell, Zeras came across two inner sect disciples who blocked his way, probably acting as guards as they stretched out their hands, signaling him to stop, but it was like he was blind as he kept on walking forward.

“We order you to stop, in the name of the sect!” they both roared out when Zeras came just about five meters away from them, but that distance was soon reduced to 4 and then 2, and then just a few centimeters away from them…

“Get out of my way!!!” The whisper couldn’t be more than it was, but the two inner sects felt a violent pulse within their bodies as they immediately stepped away to the side…

‘Cowards…’ Zeras thought in his head.

The majority of the inner sect basically do nothing but boss around all day, standing in one place where they act like some important guards for a place that will never be raided. They had no weapons to fight, and even if they did, when was the last time they had a true life-and-death battle?

They look big and all, but only cower under the name of the revered Ten Thousand Transformations Sect. When they meet a really strong one, then their inner nature would be revealed, and one would see them scurrying around like rats before a single cat.

Standing just an inch before the bell, he could see the various runes that ran across its surface, brimming with an ancient aura, and immediately Zeras held the rope tightly, runes flashing over his skin, before he violently pulled down.

RRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING

A loud sound of ringing, followed by a magnificent ripple of golden energy, flared throughout the entire inner sect top, and once more…

RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING

Another pulse of energy rippled outwards, going beyond the inner sect area and reaching the farthest area of the outer sect.

And one last time…

RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING

Zeras pulled as the ripple this time managed to cover the entirety of the sect, followed by a pillar of golden energy emanating from the bell and tearing through the sky.

“What’s happening….”

“Someone rang the bell!!!”

Various murmurs of inner sect and outer sect disciples rang out as they looked at the golden streaks present in the sky, but the same couldn’t be said for the elders’ area as various auras shot into the sky and the elders covered the sky like seas, their eyes looking at the golden ripples in the sky.

“He has finally come to take what belongs to him…”
