Chapter: Purple Saint's Cataclysm
The Grand Elder of Azure Cloud Sect launched an attack against the Guan Family. The Guan Family, clad in Holy Armor and wielding a Sacred Artifact, faced the Grand Elder of Azure Cloud Sect beneath a vast expanse of sky.
The two engaged in a fierce Battle, while others, aside from legendary figures like the Sovereign, could not approach. A terrifying Vital Energy Wave radiated outward, devastating the landscape.
Roar...
The Grand Elder of Azure Cloud Sect unleashed the sect's manifestation. A massive white horse, towering like a Mountain, descended, crushing peaks and letting out an astonishing roar.
The white horse emitted the sound of the Great Dao, dazzling and brilliant. Within its body, a Taiji Pattern emerged, tethering this Earth Formation.
The Guan Family battled against the colossal white horse, their Holy Armor vibrating and shimmering, intensifying the pressure on them. Having only recently stepped into the Legendary Realm, they found it difficult to contend with the Grand Elder of Azure Cloud Sect without the aid of their two Sacred Artifacts.
The Guan Family spat out a mouthful of Essence Blood, which fell upon their Holy Armor and sacred sword. The Black Jade Dream Skirt fully awakened, radiating overwhelming black power that spread across a mile radius. The Guan Family moved stealthily through the night, their movements elusive and hard to track.
"Is that sinister Evil Qi? Could it be that the Guan Family hails from the Demon Clan?" pondered Helan Mountain.
Li Jing glanced at the Ghost Map: "If this is a technique of the ghostly path, then no one knows it better than our ghostly friend."
The Ghost Map nodded: "She is indeed utilizing ghostly energy, and her skill is quite remarkable."
Helan Mountain couldn't help but remark: "The Guan Family comes from the Demon Clan. It is rumored that Dugu Po also originates from the demon race. The Divine Ruins truly accepts anyone."
The Black Jade Dream Skirt, a secret treasure of the Demon Clan, had now fully awakened and resisted the attacks from the Grand Elder of Azure Cloud Sect's divine abilities. The Guan Family, shrouded in darkness, moved with unpredictable steps, appearing and disappearing at will.
The Grand Elder of Azure Cloud Sect, unable to evade, suffered continuous stabs from the sacred sword, blood beginning to flow from his body. He was no longer a match for the Guan Family.
"The Barbarian King said: "He can't hold on much longer. If you lend him your Sacred Artifact, perhaps he could still fight back."
After hesitating for a moment, Helan Mountain replied: "Disciples emerging from the Divine Ruins are indeed extraordinary. Their speed of cultivation is astonishing. I will confront her."
Worried that lending out his Sacred Artifact might lead to being killed by others wielding their own artifacts, he grasped the Azure Cloud Cauldron and joined the fray. Two peak experts from the Legendary Realm struck at one member of the Guan Family. The latter could only rely on the extraordinary properties of the Black Jade Dream Skirt to evade, temporarily unable to counterattack.
After the Guan Family was restrained, the Barbarian King suddenly reached out, grabbing at Lin Feng.
"Who dares to take my cauldron?"
Lin Feng sneered, then instantly activated his cultivation. He spat out a mouthful of Essence Blood, which fell into the Blood Devouring Cauldron. This was the first time the Blood Devouring Cauldron had tasted Lin Feng's Essence Blood.
Once the treasure consumed Lin Feng's Essence Blood, it signified that it had become Lin Feng's Destiny Artifact. The power of Lin Feng's Bloodline unleashed even greater might. However, Lin Feng's cultivation was vastly inferior to that of the Blood Devouring Cauldron, making it unable to enhance the cauldron's abilities.
Remarkably, after merging with the Blood Devouring Cauldron, it began to expel Chaotic Energy alongside the Stone Pearl within Lin Feng.
At that moment, a white horse charged in, crashing into the Blood Devouring Cauldron and sending Lin Feng flying with it.
Lin Feng spat out a mouthful of blood, several bones breaking in the process. He rose and looked towards the Guan Family not far away, saying, "Sister, weren't you supposed to take on ten by yourself? You've only brought two over so far; there are still several left. I can't handle even one."
At this moment, a Thunderous Roar echoed through the air. Dark clouds rolled in endlessly, filling the sky.
The Blood Devouring Cauldron was now exuding a rich blood-red light and sharp rumbling sounds. These roars gradually drowned out the thunder from the Void.
"What’s happening?" The Barbarian King halted his attack.
Suddenly, lightning fell from the sky. Purple lightning struck down upon the Blood Devouring Cauldron, producing a deafening sound.
"Purple Thunder Tribulation. This cauldron is about to reach Sacred Artifact level," the Barbarian King exclaimed in surprise.
The Great Zhou Martial Emperor couldn't help but praise, "Truly worthy of being a material for forging Imperial Artifacts. In such a short time in this person's hands, it's about to transform into a Sacred Artifact."
The Great Zhou Martial Emperor had more to say but held back. Lin Feng was only at mid-Enlightenment yet could elevate Shoushan Copper to Sacred Artifact level. If he were to forge it himself, wouldn’t it have the potential to become an Imperial Artifact?
The Purple Thunder Tribulation, also known as Saint's Cataclysm, was something no one dared approach; there was no time to evade it.
Lin Feng stood beneath the Blood Devouring Cauldron, enduring the residual power of the Purple Thunder. He absorbed the essence of the lightning, transforming it into his own cultivation. His cultivation steadily increased as he pushed towards the Master Realm.
At that moment, with a series of chuckles, something emerged cautiously, devouring the remnants of the black thunder.
About a stick of incense later, Lin Feng's cultivation broke through to the Master Realm, but he found it difficult to advance further. Lin Feng had relied solely on his terrifying cultivation foundation to reach this point, without the support of the Great Dao. If he were to comprehend the Dao now, he could step into the Master Realm.
However, Lin Feng chose not to pursue the comprehension of the Dao. Even if he entered the Master Realm, it would not change the current situation of the battle. Everyone was wielding Sacred Artifacts; only those in the Legendary Realm could fight back.
The Blood Devouring Cauldron swayed precariously amidst the Purple Thunder and was actually shattered by it. However, the red light above the Blood Devouring Cauldron remained, allowing it to reassemble. Then it was shattered again, and this cycle continued.
The Blood Devouring Cauldron sought to transform into a Sacred Artifact, but the Purple Thunder Tribulation aimed to eradicate such defiance.
"Barbarian King, don't you want my Blood Devouring Cauldron? Here, take it."
Lin Feng charged towards the Barbarian King while holding the Blood Devouring Cauldron. The Barbarian King dared not let Saint's Cataclysm approach; it would surely lead to his demise. Without a second thought, he turned and fled.
"Lin Feng, don't come any closer."
"When I didn't give it to you, you tried to snatch it. Now that I'm offering it, you refuse."
Lin Feng paused for a moment, feeling a sense of satisfaction. Chasing after the Barbarian King was impossible; he could only scare him off for now. Lin Feng looked around and spotted the Great Zhou Martial Emperor: "Martial Emperor, do you want the Blood Devouring Cauldron?"
"I..." The Martial Emperor was momentarily at a loss for words.
"Stammering like that shows no trace of an Emperor's demeanor. This cauldron is yours."
Lin Feng then flew towards the Martial Emperor while still holding the Blood Devouring Cauldron.
"Don't come any closer! Get away!"
The Martial Emperor hurriedly dodged. He had no Imperial Artifact to withstand Sage-level Purple Thunder Tribulation and could only escape rapidly.
"You don't want it either."
Lin Feng stopped once more and saw the Ghost Map. "It's you, you ghostly thing, return my master's Primordial Spirit."
Lin Feng chased after the Ghost Map, wielding the Blood Devouring Cauldron. The Ghost Map sneered coldly as it evaded him. This time, Lin Feng was not merely pretending to chase; he was determined to pursue until he achieved his goal.
The Ghost Map darted around in a panic, unable to contain its anger. "Lin Feng, why are you always chasing me?"
"Because you're so damn ugly, I can't stand the sight of you."
Lin Feng had never felt such boldness and satisfaction before. A Master Realm cultivator was relentlessly pursuing a Legendary Realm cultivator—this was an unprecedented event.
"Ghost Map, return my master's Primordial Spirit. Where is my master's Primordial Spirit?"
"If you stop chasing me, I'll tell you," the Ghost Map replied irritably.
"Fine, I've stopped. Now you."
Finally able to catch a breath, the Ghost Map had been pursued by Lin Feng for half an hour. Even as a peak Legendary Realm expert, it was starting to feel fatigued.
"You... how did you catch up again? I wasn't even done yet. How did you catch up?"
"Do you think I'm stupid? Your words are nothing but ghostly lies; who would believe them?"
"You little brat, if you dare to play tricks, you'll almost get hit by your own lightning tribulation."
"Ghost Map, how about we both take a break? I'm tired from running too."
"You think I'm foolish? You still want to play tricks," the Ghost Map fumed.
Another half hour passed, and the Purple Thunder Tribulation above Lin Feng's head vanished. As soon as the Purple Thunder Tribulation disappeared, Lin Feng felt a wave of deathly aura rushing toward him, leaving him breathless.
"You've chased me until I'm exhausted. Now it's my turn to chase you," the Ghost Map said, having reached its limit of patience but finding no way to escape. But now things were different.
"Calm down, calm down. Let's sit down and have a good talk."
Lin Feng chuckled as he hugged the Blood Devouring Cauldron and kicked backward rapidly. Although the Purple Thunder Tribulation had disappeared and the Blood Devouring Cauldron had successfully reached the level of a Sacred Artifact, Lin Feng's cultivation was too weak to fight against Ghost Map.
Ghost Map extended a hand, intending to crush Lin Feng as if he were an ant. Suddenly, another golden fist appeared in the air, blocking that hand.
"You look amazing."
Lin Feng saw the figure resembling a Mountain, radiating golden light. The awakening of its Bloodline was nearing the level of a Holy Beast. At this moment, its combat power was equivalent to that of a Legendary Realm Cultivator.
This was all thanks to Sage and the Purple Thunder Tribulation, which had awakened the might of the Ancient Divine Beast's Bloodline within him.
One fist blocked Ghost Map while the other hand lifted Lin Feng from the ground and placed him on its left shoulder. It even grinned at Lin Feng, seemingly quite pleased with his earlier compliment.
"How does he have a purebred divine beast descendant by his side?" Helan Mountain exclaimed in surprise.
"Could it be a descendant of the Spirit Stone Monkey?" Fire Vein speculated.
"This monkey's Bloodline is not just that of a Spirit Stone Monkey; it also carries the essence of the Red-Butt Macaque," Ghost Map pondered.
"Then won't it be even more powerful than the Spirit Stone Monkey in the future?" Li Jing asked in astonishment.
The Spirit Stone Monkey was a divine beast that could rival emperors, with combat power comparable to that of the Tao Tie Beast.
"Damn it, how can this kid possess so many extraordinary things?" Ghost Map growled in frustration.
"Indeed. Shoushan Copper and the powerful Bloodline of the Divine Monkey—these were all rare existences even in Ancient Times. How did they all end up with him?" Helan Mountain, usually so confident, found it hard to remain calm.
"Take it! I don't want Shoushan Copper anymore; this Divine Monkey is mine!" The Barbarian King declared as he joined forces with Ghost Map to attack.
"Who do you think you are? Such arrogance! I want both the Divine Monkey Offspring and Shoushan Copper!"
The Great Zhou Martial Emperor also joined the battle.
"The Divine Monkey is yours; I only want the Qiang Shou Mountain Copper Cauldron." The Fire Vein immediately took action, fearing it would be too late.
With a powerful physique, but two fists could not match four hands. Constantly bombarded by the Sovereigns, it began to bleed. To ensure Lin Feng's safety, it specially hid Lin Feng inside the Blood Devouring Cauldron, then secured it among the fur on its chest.
One person faced off against four legendary figures, suffering injuries all the while. Yet, it always protected Lin Feng at its chest.
"This monkey can't hold on much longer; let's put in some extra effort."
"Why not just kill this monkey? We can all share the spoils. The Divine Monkey is a great treasure; consuming it might allow us to cultivate to the legendary Sage Realm."
"Good idea." (To be continued...)
