Chapter 1794: Chapter 1788: All the Superpowers Are Trash

"Where are those people you trapped?" Zhang Menglong asked eagerly.

"Right inside this Bell Tower’s space," Blood Cloud Sovereign replied. "They used this thing to suppress me, but had no idea that it would also trap them at the same time."

This Bell Tower was originally a treasure and had even given birth to an Artifact Spirit, but when Blood Cloud Sovereign was fighting for survival, he obliterated the Artifact Spirit. Now, he is essentially the Artifact Spirit of this treasure.

"Place your hand on this tower, and I can take you inside."

Zhang Menglong had no idea that as Blood Cloud Sovereign said these words, a barely noticeable smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

As a top-tier Divine Artifact, this Bell Tower was now entirely under his control. Once Zhang Menglong entered it, the situation would no longer be under Zhang Menglong’s control.

"Erase your Soul Mark!" Zhang Menglong commanded directly.

As a cunning and deceitful rogue, Zhang Menglong was usually the one plotting against others. How could he fall for such a basic scheme?

Blood Cloud Sovereign’s little trick couldn’t escape Zhang Menglong’s eyes, but truth be told, even if he ended up inside this Divine Artifact, Blood Cloud Sovereign couldn’t really do much to him. He just wanted to preempt any unnecessary trouble.

"But..." Blood Cloud Sovereign immediately realized his little scheme had been seen through by Zhang Menglong, "But... my life now depends on external things, and they must have some spirit. If I detach from this Bell Tower, I would instantly dissipate into nothing."

"That’s nothing!" Zhang Menglong rummaged through his belongings, pulled out something, and handed it over. "Just attach yourself to this for now!"

"W-what is this?"

Blood Cloud Sovereign smelled an incredibly disgusting odor, almost causing him to lose his composure. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Upon closer inspection, the object was smeared with some indescribable solid, some of it not even solidified yet!

"It’s my cat litter scoop," Zhang Menglong chuckled, "Rest assured, my pets have very high Bloodline levels. Even just a poop scooper has Spiritual Energy and is more powerful than most weapons. It should be able to house your Remnant Soul."

"You want me to attach myself to a cat litter scoop?" Blood Cloud Sovereign screamed hysterically. This situation was outrageous even in the world of oddities, practically like defecating in the town square without pants!

In his prime, he had been a Peak Dao Realm powerhouse, standing at the pinnacle of this world’s power. Now, should he accept such indignity?

"You might as well kill me!"

"Alright then!" Zhang Menglong was indifferent, "If I kill you, I can erase the mark myself before entering."

Blood Cloud Sovereign shivered; indeed! This young man’s ability was unfathomable. His life was now entirely in his hands, with virtually no power to resist. Burning him to ashes would be all too easy.

Once his Remnant Soul dissipated, taking control of the Bell Tower would be a done deal. It seemed he had no room for negotiation!

Besides, Blood Cloud Sovereign was already called a two-headed beast now... who needs anything else?

"Come to think of it, it does seem keeping you is of no use. I might as well kill you," Zhang Menglong suddenly realized, "After all, you’ve killed so many people and are clearly not a good person. This could be seen as doing a good deed!"

Saying this, Zhang Menglong began to set fire.

"This kid is serious!" Sensing the killing intent emanating from Zhang Menglong, Blood Cloud Sovereign became even more anxious, truly not expecting Zhang Menglong to make a move!

"I’m still useful!" Blood Cloud Sovereign hurriedly shouted, "I know this treasure best. With me, you can save a lot of time getting to know it. And I know what treasures still linger on those corpses; I even refined a Blood Pill..."

To save his life, Blood Cloud Sovereign blurted out all his remaining assets.

"Seems like you do have some uses left," Zhang Menglong acknowledged. He wasn’t merely intimidating him; if Blood Cloud Sovereign hadn’t mentioned all that, Zhang Menglong would indeed have set him aflame. After all, someone planning to sacrifice the entire world to achieve a breakthrough was undoubtedly ruthless.

Although he was weak now, who knew if he’d make a comeback in the future? Better to eliminate the threat while it was dormant.

But Zhang Menglong didn’t really intend to let him go either; he wanted to squeeze out all remaining value first.

Reluctantly, Blood Cloud Sovereign erased his Soul Seal from the Bell Tower and attached himself to the revolting cat litter scoop, instantly feeling engulfed in a disgusting stench.

Zhang Menglong placed his mark on the Bell Tower, becoming its new master.

"This thing’s level is very high!" Zhang Menglong sensed roughly. Though it couldn’t compare to those like the Pangu Axe, it wasn’t far off.

"It’s called the Eternal Blood Soul Monument, a Divine Artifact specializing in sealing," Blood Cloud Sovereign introduced. "Anyone trapped inside would be ensnared by the Blood Soul Array, with their Essence Blood drained until they become a dried corpse! Its inner space is almost as vast as an Ancient Cave Heaven..."

"Let’s go inside for a look," Zhang Menglong placed his hand on the Bell Tower, and his body instantly liquefied and merged into it.

The world inside the Bell Tower was pitch black, akin to the night, but by relying on his connection with the Divine Artifact, Zhang Menglong could perceive everything within it.

The space inside the Bell Tower was almost empty, except for a central location.

"Are those... the missing people?"

These were hundreds of desiccated figures, their bodies still dressed in what they wore in life, their blood entirely drained, but still maintaining the expressions and actions they had in life.

Some sat cross-legged on the ground, others were playing chess, and some were sparring.

According to Blood Cloud Sovereign, when they were trapped in this space, their destruction was already inevitable. Maybe realizing their impending end, they treated this as a public nursing home.

These were their final acts before moving on from this life.

"There’s the head of Sword God Manor!" Zhang Manglong spotted a figure among the crowd; he had seen this man’s statue at Sword God Manor, and the totem of Sword God Manor was etched on his clothing!

The master of Sword God Manor was seated before a stone tablet, on which he had inscribed his insights from the final moments of his life.

People often experience extraordinary thoughts in their detachment from life and death. In these reflections, he summarized both his swordsmanship’s strengths and its weaknesses! If a similarly leveled warrior saw this, they’d easily uncover the weakness in his swordsmanship!

He even identified ways to improve and transcend it himself!

Zhang Menglong took a stroll through. These were the top warriors of their era. Naturally, with time to kill, sparring and pondering became their daily routine.

Every warrior identified their opponents’ weaknesses and found ways to counter their Cultivation Techniques, while the latter patched up any flaws exposed!

"Divine Profound Hall... 27 martial arts decryption methods!"

"Thor Palace’s body forging weakness..."

"Sword God Manor’s Seven Determinations of the Proud Sword summary and flaws..."

"Wow! This plot feels so familiar! Isn’t this just like the plot of a classic martial arts novel?" Zhang Menglong excitedly rubbed his hands together.

With all this insight, those eighteen superpowers might as well be rendered useless!
