Chapter 6: Who Wants the Cauldron?
Lin Miaomiao took a brief rest before once again forming a seal. The sudden cessation of spiritual energy fluctuations began to converge once more from the land of Jiuzhou. Lin Miaomiao endured immense pain, her brows slightly furrowed.
The rain of spiritual energy descended upon the world once again.
"Damn it, who is secretly assisting them?" Dan Lai couldn't help but curse.
"Who cares? Let's quickly eliminate these few people," Helan Mountain replied.
"How can these guys endure so well? They’ve managed to hold on until now," Fire Vein exclaimed in surprise.
The various Sovereigns exerted their full strength, but the replenishment of spiritual energy could not keep up with the destructive power unleashed by the Sovereigns. The Holy Armor cracked, and the Guan Family and Wind Spirit were once again drenched in blood.
"Their Holy Armor is about to shatter; death is not far off," Dan Lai said with a smile.
At that moment, a powerful aura surged from the cave beneath them. Lin Feng, who had been deep in thought with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them. His aura became extraordinarily strong, even surpassing that of the Guan Family and Wind Spirit.
"What’s going on? Has Lin Feng also reached the Cave Profound Realm?" Dan Lai exclaimed in shock.
"It seems he has mastered how to utilize the residual power of this place," Helan Mountain pondered.
"You all wanted the Shoushan Bronze Cauldron, didn’t you?"
Lin Feng sneered as he charged upward while holding the Shoushan Bronze Cauldron. The array's power from the Ancient Cave converged entirely towards the Shoushan Bronze Cauldron.
"This is bad; we need to escape quickly," Dan Lai was the first to suggest retreating as the best course of action.
"Dan the Elder, don't rush to leave. Take the cauldron."
Lin Feng quickly caught up and threw out the Shoushan Bronze Cauldron. The Shoushan Bronze Cauldron had already reached the level of a Sacred Artifact, and now it was infused with the residual power of the Master Uncle Formation, exuding a terrifying aura. Even figures at the Sovereign level felt intimidated.
The Shoushan Bronze Cauldron instantly caught up with Dan Lai. Dan Lai had no time to dodge and could only push forth his own Sacred Artifact, the Purple Gold Gourd, to defend himself. The Purple Gold Gourd emitted a massive amount of True Fire, not attacking but instead forming a wall as thick as a thousand mountains.
Thunderous Roar...
The Shoushan Bronze Cauldron plowed through like a plow through soil, charging forward without obstruction. It easily shattered the True Fire Wall.
Bang...
The sound of destruction echoed. The Purple Gold Gourd exploded.
The other Sovereigns were left speechless at this scene. The residual power of the Master Uncle Formation was so terrifying? Even a Sacred Artifact couldn't withstand it.
"No!"
Dan Lai cried out in fear, thinking that he could use the Sacred Artifact to buy himself some time to escape. But now it seemed that after gathering the residual power of the Master Uncle Formation, the might of the Shoushan Bronze Cauldron was simply horrifying.
Without hesitation, Dan Lai completely burned his own cultivation. His entire being transformed into a ball of flames as he shot upwards, trying to flee.
In the face of Supreme Might, everything was futile. The Shoushan Bronze Cauldron loomed like a corner of the earth, blocking out the sun and sealing off all escape routes for Dan Lai. It descended upon him from above.
"Ah..."
Dan Lai let out a heart-wrenching scream as his Essence Blood was completely drained by the Blood Devouring Cauldron. Then, under the tremors of the Ancient Cauldron, its power swept through, shattering Dan Lai's physical form.
In the blink of an eye, a generation of Sovereigns was annihilated.
"This... is simply unbeatable."
Helan Mountain exclaimed in shock; the tyranny of the Divine Ruins was indeed as formidable as rumored. He immediately fled, and all the Sovereigns followed suit in their escape.
"Martial Emperor, where do you think you're going?"
Wind Spirit chased after him. With her current strength, battling a Sovereign was quite challenging. Yet she happened to be the nemesis of the Great Zhou Martial Emperor.
"Any fellow cultivator who can help me escape, I will surely repay you in the future."
The Martial Emperor, bloodied from the pursuit, called out for help in all directions. The other Sovereigns were in a panic, fleeing for their lives and had no time to assist him.
"Ghost Map, come out and face your death!"
After Lin Feng's strength had doubled, the one he most wanted to kill was Ghost Map, the instigator of all this chaos. Moreover, he had captured his master's Primordial Spirit; this debt weighed heavily on Lin Feng's mind.
Realizing the danger, Ghost Map chose to flee first. His movements were strange, blending into the Eerie Energy, making him hard to detect. However, someone blocked his path.
Lin Feng pursued him relentlessly, swinging the Shoushan Bronze Cauldron at him.
"Lin Feng, do you dare to kill me? You will never obtain Lin Bai's Primordial Spirit again," Ghost Map threatened.
"Go to hell, I'll find my way down myself."
Lin Feng's killing intent was strong, and he knew he couldn't rely on the Master Uncle Formation's divine power for long. He couldn't afford to hesitate; he would kill anyone he could.
Boom...
The Shoushan Bronze Cauldron shattered the Ghost Map's Sacred Artifact, causing the Ghost Map to cough up a large amount of blood. He immediately activated the Ghostly Energy Cave for defense.
Bang...
The Ghostly Energy Cave exploded, and the Ghost Map coughed up blood again. He threw out his storage bag, discarding all the treasures inside. A vast amount of Divine Radiance filled the air, with even the least valuable being a Ninth-Grade Treasure.
Bang bang bang...
The Shoushan Bronze Cauldron was unstoppable, crushing everything in its path. These magical artifacts exploded one after another in the Void, bursting into seven-colored fireworks that illuminated the skies of the Nine Provinces.
Bang...
The Ghost Map ultimately lost all its support, and its body was ravaged by the Shoushan Bronze Cauldron's relentless assault.
"Ah, I refuse to accept this..."
A Legendary Realm powerhouse was killed by a Master Realm cultivator from behind, and the Ghost Map died with its eyes wide open.
After killing the Ghost Map, Lin Feng stood in the Void like a God King incarnate, exuding unmatched momentum. He looked around and shouted loudly, "Who else dares to take my cauldron?"
The question echoed like a thunderclap across the skies of the Nine Provinces, yet no one dared to respond.
"Who shall I kill next?"
Lin Feng gazed at the fleeing Sovereigns. In that moment, he could see everything. No one could escape his sight.
The terrified Sovereigns felt Lin Feng's gaze piercing through them, sending chills down their spines. Regret washed over them as they wondered why they had dared to provoke someone from Divine Ruins. Now, disaster loomed over them.
"Does Divine Ruins want to make enemies of all the sects in the Nine Provinces?" Helan Mountain shouted as he fled, hoping to persuade Lin Feng to relent.
"So arrogant, it’s you then."
Lin Feng charged forward with the Shoushan Bronze Cauldron in hand. The formations inscribed by Shishu spread across the entire Yang Prefecture. Wherever these formations were inscribed, their power reigned supreme.
These people wanted to escape, but unless they reached the Sage Realm, they would be trapped within this province.
In Lin Feng's eyes, various formation inscriptions flickered as he harnessed their power, allowing him to cover vast distances in an instant. In just a few moments, he caught up with Helan Mountain.
"Helan Mountain, weren't you quite impressive? Take this!"
The Shoushan Bronze Cauldron struck again, bringing with it a devastating force.
Helan Mountain hurriedly raised his Azure Cloud Cauldron to defend himself. The impact of the Shoushan Bronze Cauldron against the Azure Cloud Cauldron produced a thunderous sound. However, this time it did not shatter the Azure Cloud Cauldron.
Instead, numerous spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the surface of the Azure Cloud Cauldron before it was sent flying out of Helan Mountain's control.
Without the protection of the Sacred Artifact, Helan Mountain felt a strong aura of death enveloping him, sending a chill deep into his bones. The Shoushan Bronze Cauldron appeared above Helan Mountain, exuding a red light as it began to siphon his Essence Blood.
"Ah..."
Helan Mountain let out a cry of pain, anger boiling within him. "I will self-destruct and take you all down with me!"
Just as Helan Mountain was about to explode, a figure flew in from the distance, shouting, "Father..."
Lin Feng recognized the person as He Rongsheng. He retracted the Shoushan Bronze Cauldron. When He Rongsheng arrived, he was not reduced to ashes. Helan Mountain had lost his Essence Blood, equivalent to losing his cultivation. His hair turned white in an instant, aging him dramatically, resembling a man on the brink of death.
He Rongsheng supported his father’s swaying body and looked at Lin Feng. "Please, spare us."
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Feng replied, "For the sake of you saving my life once, take your father and go."
With a wave of his hand, a terrifying force radiated outward. It pierced through Helan Mountain's body like an unmatched sharp blade, shattering his Primordial Spirit.
"Pfft..."
Helan Mountain let out another agonizing groan, spewing forth a large amount of blood. His Essence Blood was drained away. With his Primordial Spirit destroyed, even a Great Luo Immortal could not restore his cultivation.
"You..." He Rongsheng glared at Lin Feng, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
Lin Feng remained calm. "Considering how you troubled me and tried to kill me at Azure Cloud Sect that day, sparing him today is already my limit. If you seek revenge in the future, feel free to come after me."
"I will," He Rongsheng said slowly, each word deliberate. Then he left with his weakened father.
Lin Feng was just about to chase after the next person when he suddenly felt a heaviness in his head, darkness enveloping him as he collapsed to the ground. The Guan Family's first member arrived just in time to catch Lin Feng as he fell from the sky.
Lin Feng struggled to open his eyes and weakly asked, "What about Miaomiao?"
"She's fine; the Divine Monkey will protect her," replied the Guan Family member.
"Then I can rest easy."
This time, Lin Feng truly fell into a deep sleep.
The shocking battle reverberated throughout the entire Nine Provinces, leaving everyone astounded. The reputation of the Divine Ruins echoed across the land, establishing it as an unparalleled force in the Cultivation World.
"Over a dozen Sovereign-level figures, more than a dozen Sacred Artifacts—it's unimaginable how fierce that battle was. The entire Fiery Mountain Range has now turned into an endless sea."
"So many Sovereign-level powerhouses have perished, and so many Sacred Artifacts have been destroyed. The people from Divine Ruins left without a scratch. Even without entering the Market, those from Divine Ruins could dominate the Nine Provinces."
"You haven't seen it with your own eyes; it was truly devastating. When the Tao Tie appeared, the death toll was at its highest. The bones piled up like mountains."
"I heard that the Tao Tie managed to escape in the end?"
"Yes, it did. The Demon Sect sent several Sages, all of whom sacrificed themselves to be devoured by the Tao Tie. How could they not run?"
"Goodness, Sages! And they sent several of them. The Demon Sect truly lives up to being one of the Four Great Secret Lands; their foundation is unmatched."
"Too many people have died. The Great Zhou Martial Emperor has fallen, and the leader of Qingyun Sect, the greatest sect in the Nine Provinces, has been crippled. The Laojun Pavilion and Flowing Cloud Sect—Sovereigns from both were completely annihilated. All of this was caused by Lin Feng."
"Isn't this Lin Feng too abnormal? How does he do it?"
"Rumor has it that he has obtained Shishu's legacy."
"No wonder. Shishu is unbeatable. Anyone who inherits his legacy would be invincible."
"Divine Ruins is also incredibly powerful. Moreover, I heard that Master Da and the Second Senior Brother from Divine Ruins didn't even show up. It was all Divine Ruins' people who took action and killed the Sovereign. It's simply unimaginable."
"The market is like the azure sky, and all beings look up in awe. The reputation of Divine Ruins is truly not to be underestimated."
"…"
Throughout the land of Jiuzhou, intense discussions continued for over three months.
