Chapter 312 - Uses of the Heaven Rumbling Cauldron (2/2)

What was happening? Ye Chen was shocked. Just as he was about to pull back his Astral Body, a blazing flame shot out of the furnace and landed on Ye Chen’s Astral Body.

A huge, soul-searing pain ensued. Ye Chen’s face paled and thick beads of sweat rolled down.

“Master Lion, you’ve ruined me!” Ye Chen thought in his head. He no longer had the energy to speak. The blazing flames continue to burn Ye Chen’s Astral Body as if they were trying to reduce his Astral Body to ashes.

‘No, if this continues, I’m going to die.’ Ye Chen quickly activated the Flying Dagger in his mind. Gusts of Psyche energy rose into the air, strengthening Ye Chen’s Astral Body.

The flames skyrocketed!

It felt like the inside of a huge furnace. The only difference was that this furnace burned a person’s soul.

It was only a little over a minute but to Ye Chen, it felt like an eternity.

Ye Chen continued to endure the torment of the blazing flames. Every second felt like purgatory. Ye Chen felt as though his soul was being crushed yet he clenched his teeth and held on. His Astral Body appeared to have been refined by the flames and was now covered with a golden radiance.

Ye Chen continued to urge his Astral Body to fight against the huge suction. At this moment, Ye Chen thought he had caught a glimpse of a distant starry sky amid the black hole of the Heaven Rumbling Cauldron.

The scene was fleeting and could no longer be seen again.

“Get out!” Ye Chen roared like a madman.

Ye Chen jerked his Astral Body back violently and gasped for breath. The Heaven Rumbling Cauldron spun around and fell into Ye Chen’s palm, like it was alive. Now, it looked shiny and golden instead of its former grayish exterior.

Ye Chen’s Astral Body returned to his body. Suddenly, his entire body felt hot and prickly like he was burning up. As a result of this extraordinary heat, Ye Chen’s body had undergone a massive tempering. He felt as if every inch of his skin and every muscle in his body was being reborn.

Feeling the changes in his body, Ye Chen stimulated the Nine Astra in his dantian. Streams of Celestial Chi poured in and merged with the Nine Astra. His cultivation increased rapidly.

Ye Chen’s eyes lit up and there was a flash of excitement. His cultivation base had finally reached top Heavenly Venerable One. At the same moment, his Astral Body’s cultivation base reached top Mystique Venerable One.

Ye Chen glanced at the Heaven Rumbling Cauldron in his hand. He did not expect that the Heaven Rumbling Cauldron had such amazing powers and could train one’s Astral Body. He could sense that a faint linkage was established between him and the Heaven Rumbling Cauldron, like it was integrated into his bloodline.

A flash of understanding illuminated Ye Chen’s mind. The Heaven Rumbling Cauldron could be controlled.

“Grow bigger, Heaven Rumbling Cauldron!” Ye Chen growled softly. Before his eyes, the Heaven Rumbling Cauldron rose into the air and began to spin, giving out a bright golden shimmer. It grew more than a meter high. If it continued to grow, the entire house might collapse!

Ye Chen stretched out his right hand. The Heaven Rumbling Cauldron rapidly shrank and resumed its original size that could fit in one hand.

Besides training one’s Astral Body, the Heaven Rumbling Cauldron could also expand and shrink as well as launch a flying attack! Moreover, Ye Chen was certain that its uses were not just limited to these. He would have to explore it bit by bit in the future!

Ye Chen stayed inside his room and studied the Heaven Rumbling Cauldron. Sure enough, the uses of a treasure would have to be discovered little by little.

Now that his Astral Body’s cultivation base had reached the rank of a top Mystique Venerable One, Ye Chen no longer feared any ordinary masters. Other than a Godly Venerable One or a Daemon King, no one could defeat Ye Chen.

Inside the enclosure that held the flying mystical beasts, many people were gathered. There were at least twenty over disciples from Scarlet Flame Sect.

“Senior Brother Wei is here.” Upon seeing Wei Ze, the disciples of Scarlet Flame Sect bowed.

Wei Ze’s cultivation base was only at beginner Earthly Venerable Rank. This was not especially outstanding, considering the large number of disciples. Nevertheless, his status was quite high, simply because he was the eldest grandson of the Grand Supreme Elder. Therefore, many of the disciples called him senior brother as a form of respect.

Wei Ze haughtily entered with a gigantic condor. This condor was at least five meters tall and was covered with blood-red feathers. It looked very majestic.

“Hmph, you dare to embarrass me? I’ll put Grandfather’s Red Fox Condor with your condor. Let’s see your condor die!” Wei Ze muttered. He was very unhappy with the indifferent look that Ye Chen gave him earlier. Over twenty condors in their sect had been pecked by Ye Chen’s condor, surely Wei Ze must exact revenge. Otherwise, the Scarlet Flame Sect would lose face.

How could the Scarlet Flame Sect’s condors lose to an insignificant Xiwu Ye Clan’s condor?

“Wow, it’s the Red Fox Condor!”

“Grand Supreme Master Wei Hou’s Red Fox Condor is the strongest in the Scarlet Flame Sect. Its cultivation has reached top Heavenly Adept!”

“This Red Fox Condor is too fierce. Other than Wei Ze and the Grand Supreme Master, nobody can go near it. Once you go near, it will attack!”

“That little golden condor is doomed!”

The group of Scarlet Flame Sect disciples discussed excitedly with an air of satisfaction. Wei Ze, too, smiled and shoved it into the cage.

At this moment, Ye Chen, who was keenly studying the Heaven Rumbling Cauldron in his room, perked up his eyes and revealed a mischievous smile.
