Chapter 1092: Soul Shaking

Taichu Yuan Venerates were high and mighty and overlooked everything.

The gathering of 300 Taichu Yuan Venerates was an astonishing, pressurizing sight. Against such pressure, even other Taichu Yuan Venerates would have no will to fight either.

However, Luo Yunyang hadn't just resisted the shouts of the 300 Taichu Yuan Venerates. He had even used the World-Shaking Sky Bell.

As the bell rang, Taichu Yuan Venerates rapidly fell off the steps of the great path to the heavens one after another.

Although these Taich Yuan Venerates didn't suffer any life-threatening injuries, more and more felt an unbearable sensation in their bodies.

The stronger one's spiritual cultivation was, the better they would be at resisting external forces.

Long Fantian, who stood in the most central point, appeared calm. Even so, he still used a large amount of strength to resist Luo Yunyang's bell chimes.

Long Fantian already had a very meticulous understanding of Luo Yunyang's situation. He knew that Luo Yunyang had an unparalleled sacred bell that could attack by using sound waves.

In the past, the Ancient Six Families had suffered tremendous losses because of it.

However, Luo Yunyang and the other Taichu Yuan Venerates hadn't thought much of these sound wave attacks. After all, at the time, Luo Yunyang had been merely a Taishi Yuan Venerate.

Sound wave attacks were ultimately attacks that targeted the mind. They were very confident that their own mind power surpassed Luo Yunyang's by far and would naturally not take Luo Yunyang's attacks seriously.

However, Long Fantian had just discovered that they had really underestimated Luo Yunyang!

Not only had Luo Yunyang ascended to a Taichu Yuan Venerate, but these soundwave attacks aroused the seven emotions so that even Taichu Yuan Venerates would find it difficult to shield their mental state from such an attack.

Luo Yunyang's hand kept striking the World-Shaking Sky Bell, which seemed to be in an inspired state in sync with Luo Yunyang's maniacal striking.

Others might not be able to sense this, but as the owner of the World-Shaking Sky Bell, Luo Yunyang could sense a power within the World-Shaking Sky Bell continuously mending the cracks that appeared as he struck it.

Although the rate that it mended at wasn't very fast, it was still much faster than average.

"Halt!"

A shout from Long Fantian reverberated all around.

Even Luo Yunyang's bell waves softened in the face of this shout. The Taichu Yuan Venerates that had been affected and had coughed out blood because of Luo Yunyang's bell waves immediately calmed down.

They stared furiously at Luo Yunyang. Besides rage, there was also slight apprehension in their eyes.

Indeed, it was apprehension!

However, they didn't immediately attack Luo Yunyang. Instead, they looked at Long Fantian.

"Dongfang Chitian will lead 36 of you to hold up the rear. The others will ascend the path!" Long Fantian calmly told all the Tianding Realm Yuan Venerates present.

The intent behind this was very clear. He wasn't willing to further tangle with Luo Yunyang. Since they couldn't suppress Luo Yunyang in an instant, then they should obstruct Luo Yunyang's way on the path to the heavens.

The Taichu Yuan Venerates called out by Long Fantian were the Taichu Yuan Venerates with the strongest mental cultivation. In Long Fantian's opinion, Luo Yunyang would need quite some time if he wanted to suppress these people completely.

After all, these people were all Taichu Yuan Venerates.

While they could survive this, they couldn't allow Luo Yunyang to strike the bell continuously.

After the bell waves dissipated, the Taichu Yuan Venerates seemed to sober up.

Donfang Chitian had the appearance of a middle-aged man with good features and a bearing that gave others a favorable impression. The instant he heard Long Fantian's command, he immediately cupped his fists. "Yes, Lord Fantian!"

Long Fantian said gravely, "Chitian, your task is very important. Don't let me down."

"Rest assured, my lord. I, Dongfang Chitian, and my fellow compatriots definitely will not permit Luo Yunyang to ascend this path to the heavens," Dongfang Chitian said with great confidence.

Dongfang Chitian wasn't underestimating Luo Yunyang, as he really was capable. However, even though Luo Yunyang's performance had surpassed their expectations and Dongfang Chitian felt pressured in the face of those bell waves, this didn't mean that he and the others had no other means of dealing with him.

After all, they were Tianding Realm elites that had been groomed for many years. If they couldn't stifle Luo Yunyang, then they might as well knock themselves to death against a wall.

Long Fantian gazed at Dongfang Chitian and laughed heartily. "Alright, I believe you all."

After saying that, Long Fantian looked at Luo Yunyang and said, "Luo Yunyang, you have indeed surpassed my expectations. I shall now give you a chance. As long as you are willing to pledge your allegiance to me, you can become one of the four great heavenly lords when I am the Human Ruler."

The four great heavenly lords were beneath the Human Ruler. This was the arrangement of the Human Race's Divine Ancestor. It could be said that the status of these four great heavenly lords was very illustrious.

Many people within Tianding Realm were vying for these four positions. However, Long Fantian made this promise in front of all these people.

The sides of Luo Yunyang's lips curled up into a snide grin. "I want to be the Human Ruler!"

"Big words!" Dongfang Chitian rebuked him. He was already determined to win the position of one of the four great heavenly lords. Thus, Long Fantian's offer made him very unhappy.

After all, there were only a few of these positions. If one was given to Luo Yunyang, then one of the four predetermined great heavenly lords wouldn't be able to get a position.

Long Fantian didn't say anything else. He merely turned around and started to walk up the path to the heavens.

Dongfang Chitian and the others blocked the entrance of the path to the heavens like tigers eyeing their prey.

"This is clearly overkill!" The path to the heavens could be seen by every member of the Human Race, so many people were paying attention to this contest.

When Long Fantian and the others had formed a startling roar, the martialists of the 36 Great Cosmoses had felt mostly dispirited rather than angry.

This was the dejection of ordinary humans who were facing gods.

After all, they had discovered that Tianding Realm was really powerful. It was so overwhelming that they couldn't match its level.

Under the circumstances, they had chosen to be silent. It could even be said that the only thing they could do was stay silent.

However, when Luo Yunyang had conjured the World-Shaking Sky Bell and made Taichu Yuan Venerates fall, the people of the 36 Great Cosmoses had stirred. They'd felt overjoyed and delighted!

Luo Yunyang totally had hope of becoming the Human Ruler!

Once he became the Human Ruler, the 36 Great Cosmoses would see better days. Although they wouldn't necessarily surpass Tianding Realm, they definitely wouldn't end up the way Tianding Realm had planned for them.

While the situation had turned into something no one had expected, Long Fantian had actually gotten 36 Taichu Yuan Venerates to block the pathway and prevent Luo Yunyang from ascending the path to the heavens.

Luo Yunyang had no way of becoming the Human Ruler if he couldn't move up the path. If this happened, the eventual victor would be Long Fantian.

"How shameless... Is this what Taichu Yuan Venerates are like? These are the Yuan Venerates of Tianding Realm?" Someone posted these words on the Human Race's virtual void forum sarcastically. "How disgraceful."

Martialists of the Human Race's 36 Great Cosmoses naturally responded en masse to this sarcasm. In mere moments, countless people had made resonating comments.

Many voices were also encouraging Luo Yunyang through all sorts of means.

Unfortunately, against this wave of encouragement, some Tianding Realm powerhouses immediately responded. "If you think this isn't fair, you can ask your Taichu Yuan Venerates to do something!"

"We have sent 300 Taichu Yuan Venerates. Wouldn't it be fine if the 36 Great Cosmoses sent out 300 Taichu Yuan Venerates too?"

"He he he... You are crying foul when you lack any ability. How hilarious!"

Although the person who said this immediately received criticism from countless others, many more martialists of the 36 Great Cosmoses stayed silent.

They were very aware that these circumstances were mainly a result of the 36 Great Cosmoses' weakness. If the 36 Great Cosmoses were not too weak, Tianding Realm wouldn't have been able to overwhelm them with numbers.

"Put in effort while cultivating. One day, our 36 Great Cosmoses will definitely catch up with Tianding Realm!" A martialist posted these words to encourage others.

However, his words didn't elicit much of a response, as many people felt that this was too difficult.

"Are you all going to obstruct me and not let me proceed?" Luo Yunyang walked toward Dongfang Chitian and the others with the same calm smile.

Dongfang Chitian grinned. "You know the answer. We are going to stop you from ascending the path to the heavens. You won't be able to proceed with us here. Even though that bell that can jolt souls is very powerful, we are still dealing with you here."

"You won't be able to ascend the path with us here!"

Luo Yunyang glanced at the confident Dongfang Chitian and said nonchalantly, "While you guys have great self-confidence, you still won't be able to stop me."

"We won't be able to stop you? Ha ha ha! This is the funniest joke I have heard in 10,000 years. Luo Yunyang, since you have said this much, bring it on. Let me see whether you are merely bragging or you really have that ability."

While Dongfang Chitian's tone was laced with disdain, he and the other 36 Taichu Yuan Venerates had already made preparations.

They were confident about keeping Luo Yunyang at the bottom of the path regardless of which method he used!
