Chapter 1776 - The Almighty Cauldron (2/2)
However, this willow twig had defeated Yanshen completely.
Zhang Ruochen was covered in blood, so Yueshen placed him into the Sun-moon Crystal Coffin. When she glanced back, she noticed that Yanshen was trying to flee.
“Why leave since you have made it here?”
Now that the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron was in her hand, it began to spin and shoot out golden characters, which then turned into a golden stream that traveled across the darkness of the void, eventually hitting Yanshen’s body.
The golden characters seemed to possess terrifying power as the stream completely immobilized Yanshen.
“This-This is…”
Yanshen finally knew what the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron was.
He had been very confident at first, thinking that he could get away from Yueshen even if he was not her match.
Yet, at that moment, fear filled his eyes.
He realized that the cauldron in Yueshen’s hands could kill and smelt G.o.ds.
What puzzled him though, was how the cauldron ended up in the hands of a Saint King.
Yanshen tried to warn Bloodlord Erjia, but the golden characters had subdued him. He could not make a sound or even use his spiritual power and divine will.
Leaving Yanshen aside, Yueshen looked at the Asuran Continent in the distance. The continent looked like a piece of drawing as it rose. It then flipped upside down and crashed down on Yueshen.
Her dark hair blew in the wind, and her eyes were as beautiful as the stars. From in between her hands, the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron slowly flew up, growing bigger and bigger as it spun. After a while, Yueshen looked like a speck of dust in front of the cauldron.
Boom!
The Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron and the Asuran Continent clashed, sending a tremor throughout the void.
The impact from the clash was transmitted to the material world and caused a ma.s.sive amount of s.p.a.ce fissures to appear in the million-square-mile Shatuo Domain.
If the battle dragged on, the Shatuo Domain might become a semi-void, much like the forbidden land of the Divinity Bestowment Altar.
Fortunately, the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron had bored through the Asuran Continent, and the entire realm began to collapse.
Bloodlord Erjia and the Infernal Asuran Icon fell from the broken Asuran Continent, but Yueshen swiftly grabbed the picture scroll.
She then shot out streams of golden characters at Bloodlord Erjia.
“No! I will bust the myth of the invincible Yueshen today!”
Bloodlord Erjia tried to resist. He summoned a powerful divine power in his body to try and fight back the golden characters, but he failed. Instead, cracks started to appear on his divine body.
Yueshen looked at Bloodlord Erjia with a distant expression as she put him and Yanshen into the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron.
She then jumped out of the void and returned to Mount Yueshen. “G.o.ds of the Celestial Court, if all of you still refuse to reveal yourselves, Bloodlord Erjia and Yanshen will die today,” she called out in a divine voice while she stood in front of Guanghan Temple. Her voice was heard throughout the Celestial Court.
The Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron was suspended above Mount Yueshen, and Bloodlord Erjia as well as Yanshen, could be heard groaning from the inside the cauldron. They were suffering from the pain of the divine trial.
Youshen and Bloodlord Sijia listened on with bated breath. Sensing that staying at the edge of the Shatuo Domain was not the safest idea, they quickly fled—the farther, the better.
Unlike Youshen and Bloodlord Sijia, Blackheart Demonlord was much more powerful. Even so, he also left the Shatuo Domain at once, avoiding Yueshen like the plague.
None of the Shatuo Domain’s cultivators said a word. Some were kneeling on the ground, bowing before Mount Yueshen, while some were quaking in their boots with cold sweat trickling down their spines.
Everyone could see that Yueshen now possessed the ability to kill the G.o.ds.
Would today be the day some poor G.o.ds met their ends?
Rarely would G.o.ds die from the infighting inside the Celestial Court. But once that happened, it could cause a terrifying change and affect an immeasurable number of living beings.
The death of a G.o.d was not the end of things because it could create a chain reaction that destroyed an entire realm.
A while later, the sky in the Shatuo Domain turned into a shade of dark red.
Everyone looked up and saw a majestic temple; it was bright red and floating among the clouds of blood. At first glance, it looked as if it was just a few thousand miles away, but careful observation seemed to suggest that the temple was in another s.p.a.ce and time, as though it was billions of miles away from the Shatuo Domain.
Seeing the temple, a rare and grave expression appeared on Yueshen’s face. “Jiatianxia!”
“Long time no see.”
A loud and ancient voice filled the air.
“Are you going to do the dirty job yourself, Jiatianxia?”
There was a long silence from the owner of the sanguine temple as if he was in his own world, thinking of something.
“I have to admit that you have improved so much after one hundred thousand years. I may not be able to gain an upper hand again like before. But, with this cauldron, I could easily enter the Heavenly Realm. I could also kill everyone, except you, in the Fane of b.l.o.o.d.y War and wipe out every race in the Heavenly Realm. Would you like to try me?”
