Chapter 726: Sky-Turning Cauldron
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Swish! Swish!
Countless Heaven Monarchs were fleeing the area, and dozens of them died due to the rupturing of their divine shields. A lot of ancient divine essence rings floated within the tunnels. Yet, Jiang Yi had disregarded them completely as his divine senses locked onto Gui Ying tenaciously. This person had extorted him of 80 million celestial stones. He should possess lots of wealth and treasures on him since he was the Black Wind Legion’s Great Commander.
Gui Ying grumbled unwillingly. The heat within his body had gotten stronger overtime as if he had been thrown into a fryer. Although his physique was very strong, it was still extremely painful to him. That terrifying temperature had caused him to have an impulse to tear apart all the skin on his body.
“What should I do? What should I do?”
Gui Ying was at his wit’s end. Jiang Yi wasn’t going to rest until he was killed. His soul spirit attack that could easily trap ordinary middle-stage Heaven Monarchs was totally ineffective against Jiang Yi, and his remaining subordinates had all fled and were nowhere to be found. At this juncture, loyalty was even of less value than toilet paper.
“Risk it!”
His eyes flickered for a few times. He gnashed his teeth and took out a grotesque item from his ancient divine essence ring. That was a treasure which resembled a square cauldron, and the entire cauldron was emitting a simple and imposing aura.
There were mysterious runic patterns on the square cauldron. Those runic patterns started to wander around when he infused his essence force in as it produced terrifying aura. The runic patterns were like tadpoles as tens of thousands of them swum around the square cauldron. However, the square cauldron, which was supposed to have four corners, had one of the corners broken apart. Therefore, it looked extremely strange.
This was his strongest treasure, and he had obtained it from an ancient ruin. He rarely used it because... it was an extremely powerful treasure. Although it lacked a corner, its might was still comparable to an ordinary pseudo-divine artifact.
Of course, this wasn’t a divine artifact... but a pseudo-divine artifact. This was a treasure that had been fully refined and had attained a spiritual connection. This was not fully refined by him. Rather, when he obtained it, he had just refined it casually and was able to fully attain spiritual connection. It was extremely formidable.
It was very hard to fully refine a pseudo-divine artifact, reaching the level where one could communicate with the spirit within it. One would need to get the artifact’s spirit within the pseudo-divine artifact to acknowledge oneself as its master. Therefore, ordinary pseudo-divine artifacts would seldom be at the prime state.
For example, if Jiang Yi was able to communicate spiritually with his Fire Cloud Armor, he would be able to revolve the runic patterns around; and ordinary Heaven Monarchs would never be able to injure him unless it was the peak-stage of Heaven Monarch Realm who possessed formidable attack ability.
Gui Ying wouldn’t dare to use such treasure easily. If it were to attract experts to covet it—not only would he lose the treasure, his life would be lost as well.
However, it was different now. He was about to die. Therefore, he had no choice but to take out this badly damaged Sky-Turning Cauldron as he attempted to suppress Jiang Yi with its help.
He did not utilize it immediately. Rather, he flew up with all his efforts. Although his speed had been greatly reduced, it was still pretty decent. When he started fleeing, he had been flying upwards since the beginning. Right now, he was just a few blinks of the eye before breaking out of the ground.
Bang!
Not long later, the ground had also cracked open as Jiang Yi broke out from the soil and swept his divine senses out. He discovered the Black Wind Legion headquarters were in the vicinity, and there were tens of thousands of low-rank Black Wind Legion’s members on standby within the headquarters.
“Gui Ying!”
His gaze looked above his head as his body streaked across the vast sky upwards. He slashed his Fire Dragon Sword overhead of him as countless Thunder Fire shot over. It caused the surrounding temperature to reach a terrifying degree instantly.
“Run—!”
Although they were about 20-30 miles apart, the low-rank martial artists in the Black Mountain Legion headquarters could not endure such high temperature. All of them fled in fear as they gazed at Jiang Yi who was wearing the Fire Cloud Armor, with a blue protective shield sparkling on the surface of his body. Everyone felt that they saw a devil god and was extremely terrified.
“Bastard Lone Wolf, die. Sky-Turning Cauldron, crash this bastard into pieces!”
An astonishing roar echoed out from the higher altitude. Gui Ying was wearing black battle armor, and his aura was at its peak. The square cauldron on his hand shot down, and it gradually became bigger in mid-air. Ultimately, its radius grew to 300 meters in size as it brought along an aura that would suppress everything as it came crashing down like a huge mountain.
The square cauldron was shrouded in an ancient and dharmic dao which was extremely overpowering. While the dark green runic patterns swam around, there would be dark green flows of aura flowing out from the cauldron. It revolved around the cauldron, and those streams of aura materialized into mercury, giving off a kind of profound feeling. When the square cauldron shot down, everyone fleeing could no longer escape. Their vision would involuntarily be attracted to the square cauldron as they got suppressed to the ground by the vast aura produced from the square cauldron. A scene of the square cauldron which brought along an unstoppable aura came suppressing down appeared in everyone’s mind.
Pseudo-divine artifact!
Jiang Yi widened his eyes and was in shock. Just now, he had discovered this cauldron but did not place too much attention to it. He thought that it was just an ordinary treasure. Right now, he was stumbled awake.
The aura on this square cauldron was too similar to the circular cauldron worshipped by the She Clan. This was an aura of a pseudo-divine artifact. During that sparkle of seconds, his mind revolved hundreds of times as he thought of a way to deal with it!
Escape or fight against it?
If he wished to escape, he would have to execute the Heaven Evasion. He would no longer be able to kill Gui Ying, and his identity might be exposed as well. He might incur the coveting from the experts within the 13 Clans and would be hunted in endless pursuit. He would also not be able to retain his Sinful Island as well.
Fight against it? Could this thing even be fought against?
Jiang Yi had no idea about it. However... he intended to test it out!
He grasped onto his Fire Dragon Sword tightly as he raised his head upwards. Simultaneously, he poured his essence force into his Fire Cloud Armor. Instantly, the Fire Cloud Armor released flourishing red radiance as it shone together with the dark blue radiance within the Thunder Fire Divine Shield mutually, forming an extremely special and magical radiance. His gaze was firm like steel as he stared at the huge cauldron that was suppressing down from the sky. He laughed crazily. “Come! See if you are capable enough to smash this Chief to death!”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The mountain-like square cauldron brought along a series of spatial fluctuation as it suppressed down. Very quickly, it reached the top of Jiang Yi’s head. He held onto the Fire Dragon Sword single-handedly and thrust out, in an attempt to withstand against the huge square cauldron. Unfortunately, he was like plankton trying to shake the sky. He was immediately suppressed down as he was smashed into the mountain range heavily.
Even so, the scene where Jiang Yi had resisted against the huge cauldron with a single sword had imprinted into tens of thousands of minds deeply. There were people single-handedly covering the sky with a hand. Today, someone used a single sword to resist against the cauldron. No one knew if Jiang Yi was dead or not, but they knew that this scene would be imprinted within their memory forever.
Boom!
The whole mountain range quaked when the huge cauldron landed onto the ground. The vibration shook across a radius of thousand miles. The trees swayed as debris from the mountain peak fell down. A radius of three kilometers was smashed out below Jiang Yi, leaving behind a bottomless pit. Supposedly, this was a huge mountain range peak; but at this moment, a huge deep pit had appeared here... as if it had become a volcano.
The noises around them reverberated, and Gui Ying—who was above the sky—heaved a sigh of relief. He swallowed a recuperation elixir quickly and circulated his essence force to heal himself. All of his meridians had been burnt by the high temperature, and his skin had turned blood red. His hair had also been roasted black as he suffered from serious injuries. He would have been burnt alive if he was late by a few more breaths.
Gui Ying was very confident in his Sky-Turning Cauldron. Even a middle-stage Heaven Monarch who possessed strong defense would also be smashed to death, let alone Jiang Yi. Therefore, he did not examine if Jiang Yi was dead. He seized the moment to recuperate first as he was already at his limits.
Buzz!
However—!
At the next second, his heart shuddered. He felt a kind of fatal danger approaching. He looked towards the zone several miles ahead of him in a startled manner. The spatial zone started fluctuating, and a youth with blood all over him appeared. Subsequently, Thunder Fire surged out from his body crazily as the terrifying temperature; and a pair of cold eyes caused the depths of Gui Ying’s soul spirit to start trembling.
“You actually didn’t die? How is this possible? No...”
He cried out in fear before fleeing with all his might. However, he had been gravely injured by the high temperature. His speed was just way too slow. At this moment, Jiang Yi was just way too close to him. His divine shield broke apart instantly, and his body started combusting in a raging fire as he turned into ashes.
“Hahahaha!”
Jiang Yi’s Fire Cloud Armor had been dyed red by his blood, and half of his bones had been broken apart. The Thunder Fire Divine Shield on him had already been shattered. However he... was still alive.
That’s right. He had won the gamble. The Thunder Fire Divine Shield and the Fire Cloud Armor didn’t disappoint him. His perfect and formidable physique didn’t disappoint him as well. Therefore, he was extremely delighted. He looked up at the sky and howled in laughter!
“Flee!”
Those tens of thousands of low-rank martial artist from the Black Mountain Legion escaped in fear. Was this red-haired youth still human—even after being smashed by such a huge cauldron and actually didn’t die?
