Chapter 446: Chapter 446: The Sub-Clock is Overstrained, The Main Clock Bursts!

Lu Chen’s expression turned solemn as he recalled the pattern within the inner walls of the small bell.

The rune pattern was the pathway for Spiritual Power flow, and his goal was to make the owner of the small bell unable to find him.

So why bother destroying the small bell, when making it lose its effectiveness would suffice?

He could ruin the rune pattern inside, preventing Spiritual Power from flowing normally, and naturally, the small bell would become a useless Magic Artifact!

"It’s never too late to mend the pen after the sheep have escaped!"

Lu Chen focused and calmed himself, beginning to channel the Five Elements Spiritual Power between his fingers.

He had experienced something similar before, with the use of the Pure Jade Vial. To enable the vial to serve as a Dantian within the body, storing Spiritual Power, Lu Chen had repeated the process countless times.

The only difference was that, when infusing the Pure Jade Vial with Spiritual Power, he used his whole hand and only a single type of Spiritual Power.

At this moment, however, he used a single finger to infuse it with Five Elements Spiritual Power!

In the grand scheme of things, there was actually no difference.

Lu Chen pinpointed a spot on the pattern and directly injected a thread of Five Elements Spiritual Power, to first determine the direction of its flow.

After a few breaths, the Spiritual Power had already flowed through all the rune patterns, and Lu Chen could distinctly feel the aura of the Five Elements Spiritual Power.

"Hmph, next, I need to increase the output of Five Elements Spiritual Power and then let the rune pattern be destroyed by being unable to withstand this force!"

This time the Spiritual Power circulating within the inner walls of the small bell completed one cycle, a mere test of his skill. Next, it was time to truly destroy the rune patterns!

"Five Elements Spiritual Power, activate!"

Lu Chen let out a low shout, and a breath of energy suddenly erupted from his body, his clothes billowing without any wind. From a distance, he resembled a cultivator practicing a Supreme Spell!

And as he increased the output of Five Elements Spiritual Power, the female cultivator’s mother bell also responded, emanating a faint sound like a bell tone!

"Eh?"

The female cultivator quickly took out the transmitting mother bell from her bosom, and seeing it emit a grayish-white color, her face changed!

"What kind of Spiritual Power is this grayish-white? Why have I never seen it before?"

Different types of Spiritual Power each have their respective colors.

The most common are none other than the five types: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

For example, Yu Zhibai’s Ice Spiritual Power carries a light blue hue within the white.

Unusual Spirit Roots, though rare, also correspond to mundane objects, and their colors are roughly the same.

For instance, Lu Chen has never seen a Thunder Spirit Root, but the Spiritual Power used by it is the same as the color of heavenly thunder, purple.

There’s also Wind Spiritual Power.

Wind is colorless and tasteless, so Wind Spiritual Power is invisible; one can only feel the breath of the Spiritual Power.

This is a common understanding among all cultivators.

But no one has ever seen grayish-white Spiritual Power!

However, the female cultivator suddenly recalled the cloudy mist over her head before entering the Haotian Secret Realm, as well as the color of the light gate...

"Could he be a disciple from the Haotian Sect? Impossible, people from the Haotian Sect wouldn’t deal with the Casting Gear Pavilion! Ning Changzhong! Once I return from the Haotian Secret Realm, I must report this to my master, and then you’ll get what’s coming to you!"

The female cultivator couldn’t pinpoint the type of Spiritual Power Lu Chen was using, so she was unable to deal with his attempt to destroy the daughter bell and hence unable to find his location; she could only let the mother bell shake more and more violently.

"I have to speed things up. This man first used Fire Spiritual Power, trying to refine the daughter bell, and then switched to this strange Spiritual Power, indicating he is highly scheming! Perhaps he knows who I am, and yet I don’t know who he is. I am in the light, and he lurks in the dark..."

The female cultivator clenched her silver teeth. Although the Spirit Sound Sect’s spells were astonishing and their methods reached the skies, they had their weaknesses.

That is, they never cultivated their bodies, which became especially evident during the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Even their bodies were weaker than those of an average robust Martial Artist.

If the enemy harbored destructive intentions and attacked from the shadows, she might not necessarily die, but even an injury would be a significant loss.

This was also why she didn’t go to find her four senior sisters first but sought out Lu Chen instead!

"Eight hundred li to go, hurry up!"

"Just one hundred li more!"

"The mother bell can’t hold on much longer, endure a little more!"

The mother bell in her hand seemed to struggle to break free from her control; the female cultivator clenched her teeth, continuously commanding her Spiritual Power.

If she could get within fifty li, the mother bell could accurately pinpoint Lu Chen’s position.

But her hopes were ultimately in vain.

When there was still around eighty li to go, the grayish-white Spiritual Power on the mother bell disappeared like clouds scattered by the wind.

The female cultivator knew it was time to give up. If it exploded in her hands, her physical body would certainly not withstand the fragments of the bell’s explosion!

"Boom!"

She threw the mother bell fiercely to the ground, while she herself kept rising, stepping on the Soul-Attracting Bell.

The moment the mother bell hit the ground, it also exploded, perfectly timed.

A loud noise erupted, shaking the ground slightly.

The sound reverberated far and wide, causing many cultivators to look in its direction!

Lu Chen was no exception.
