Chapter 303 - Chapter 303: Chapter 272: Banner of Ten Thousand Souls_1 (2/2)

…

“[Jue of Heaven and Earth Moving Cauldron: Perfection; 1/204800]!

…

With constant promotion of the spell, Xu Mu gradually discovered something unusual.

Each time he obtained control, his hold over the God Refining Tripod continued to rise, creating an impression that using the nine tripods could refine it.

This discovery made his heartbeat accelerate involuntarily.

If he could refine the God Refining Tripod in such a gradually unnoticed way, he would have a powerful trump card, no matter what happened later on.

After having this thought, Xu Mu accelerated the improvement of the Jue of Heaven and Earth Moving Cauldron. Within five days, it had smoothly been upgraded to a transcendent level.

At this moment, with a single thought, he could completely control the God Refining Tripod, directly wrest it from Prince Jade’s hands without him noticing.

He even had the feeling that he could completely refine it into his body.

Of course, even if he had ten times his current courage, he wouldn’t dare to actually do it.

However, with this feeling, at least he became a little more reassured.

By now, the remnant souls in the dungeon were almost completely absorbed, and the sacrificing spirit array in the God Refining Tripod continued to devour the densely packed remnant souls.

Their energies had risen from the initial Golden Pill stage to the later Golden Pill stage. If they continue devouring at this rate, they were likely to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage.

Nine Nascent Soul Stage evil spirits, could Prince Jade really control them?

The unease in everyone’s hearts grew increasingly intense.

Just then, Prince Jade used some unknown spell to initiate a new formation around them, directly enclosing the entire hall.

“Prince, what are you doing this for?” Murong Shun asked with a placatory smile.

At this point, Prince Jade clearly gave up all pretense, and with a summoning gesture, the evil spirits in the tripod flew out instantly, dragging Jiang Wu next to Murong Shun into it.

All could hear the gut-wrenching screams coming from the tripod. Then, quickly, all was quiet.

Everyone present was terrified into silence. Murong Shun turned pale.

“Keep running the array properly! Any more questions and he’ll be next!” Prince Jade coldly warned them.

If Jiang Wu were still alive at this point, he’d likely be furious enough to spit blood.

Why was he dragged in, when it was Murong Shun who asked the question?

Woo woo!

The reason he was dragged in was simple, Prince Jade needed Murong Shun to continue running the array.

The atmosphere became quite delicate. Everyone knew something was wrong and were certain of it. But under Prince Jade’s threat, they didn’t dare act recklessly.

However, if they continue down this path, they too would probably not escape disaster.

Prince Jade sacrificing the spirits certainly hadn’t been approved by the imperial family. His audacious actions meant he would surely silence everyone involved to prevent news leaking out.

Knew they would die, but could do nothing to stop it, could only watch as death approached. This feeling was the most painful.

In this eerie atmosphere, several hours passed. Suddenly, the nine evil spirits flew out of the tripod again, dragging a Soul Cultivator to it, regardless of his resistance.

Facing nine evil spirits at the later Golden Pill stage, almost no one could resist.

“Prince Jade, what is the meaning of this?”

The companion of the Soul Cultivator who was pulled in, asked in an unwilling voice.

“I already said, stay obedient. This one dared to send a message outside, he must be punished.” Prince Jade said calmly.

Listening to these words, the Soul Cultivator’s companion bit his teeth in frustration but had to swallow his anger.

Two soul cultivators had been killed, not enough to truly drive them to desperation.

However, when the nine evil spirits had devoured all remaining souls, Prince Jade made his move again and threw two more Soul Cultivators into the God Refining Tripod.

Everyone couldn’t keep their calm anymore.

“Escape!”

All individuals deployed their own counter-measures and fled in all directions.

“Hmph!”

Prince Jade snorted disdainfully, and with a heavy bang on the great tripod, hundreds of golden fogs flew out, ensnaring everyone like tentacles and forcibly pulling them in.

He activated another spell, summoned the tripod cover, and sealed the God Refining Tripod, locking everyone together with the nine evil spirits inside.

“Without your flesh and souls, how can these evil spirits advance! Only by letting them complete their advancements, and reach the Nascent Soul Stage, can I have a chance at rescuing my father from the heavenly dungeon and successfully escape with my life!”
