Chapter 384: Decimating the Ten Thousand Banners and Beheading Yama (Part 1)
In the ancient city known as Zhuxian Town, at the heart of it all, the figure on the throne spoke with an indifferent tone.
"Although this evil technique may not be sufficient to kill you, I have already used the Yu State Cauldron to specially refine it."
"Now, the karmic vows and powers embedded within these two little children are sufficient to annihilate you completely!"
As the voice of the Master of the Yu State Cauldron resounded, the twin siblings, who were standing on the edge of the loess platform, simultaneously turned their gazes towards Lu Heng. Within their hollow and lifeless eyes, Lu Heng's figure was reflected.
The colossal Yuz State Cauldron trembled intensely, and a rich essence of living beings overflowed from the cauldron's mouth, directly entwining the translucent and solid forms of the siblings.
From the vacant expressions on the faces of the siblings, simultaneously emerged piercing screams of agony.
"Father!"
"Lu Heng, Father!"
The Wuyou and Wuyu siblings lamented, "We are mere illusions! We should not exist in this world!"
Within the siblings' painful wails, the vibrant life force intertwining through their bodies transformed into an eerie and chilling glow, manifesting as a dim beam of light soaring towards Lu Heng.
As the enigmatic beam approached, Lu Heng's figure unexpectedly trembled. Though he remained motionless, the surface of his body seemed to ripple incessantly like water disturbed by a gust of wind, undulating with waves.
It seemed as if it was about to dissipate!
In a critical moment, a streak of blue light suddenly flew into the city.
Lian Cangqing's icy cold voice resounded throughout the city.
"The Master of the Yu State Cauldron? A dog-like creature, daring to be arrogant before me! The Earthly Catastrophe has not yet arrived, when has the Celestial Desolation Realm, you waste-like cauldron, become so arrogant? Perish!"
In Lian Cangqing's icy and wrathful tone, she raised her hand directly and brought it down with a palm strike onto the enigmatic figure seated upon the throne.
However, at this moment, ripples of disturbance rippled through the void, and a chilling sword energy abruptly shattered the space, as four ferocious ancient war swords emerged from the realm of nothingness.
The four war swords surged and swept through, transforming into an unparalleled sword formation, directly intercepting Lian Cangqing's irresistible palm strike from afar.
The figures of the Rebel Wanderer, Helian Kui, and the Green-eye Demon materialized from the void, each holding a corner of the Sword Formation, standing in three different directions.
The three of them joined forces to unleash this ancient Sword Formation, astonishingly relying on the power of the four war swords to intercept Lian Cangqing.
Upon witnessing this scene, Lian Cangqing's gaze grew increasingly frigid.
Lian Cangqing's icy gaze swept over the three demons who had already surrounded her in the center of the Sword Formation, as she coldly uttered, "You, as beings of the Celestial Desolation Realm, dare to collude with this wretched creature?! Do you comprehend the significance of the Yu State Cauldron?!"
The icy interrogation from Lian Cangqing brought forth laughter from the Green-eye Demon.
"Hahaha… What does that cauldron signify? Does it have any relevance to us? As fellow members of the demonic sect, we should stand united when facing a group of self-righteous cultivators. Within the ancient Sword Formation, no matter how formidable your abilities may be, today shall be your downfall!"
The audacious provocation from the Green-eye Demon made Lian Cangqing furious, but she couldn't help but burst into laughter in response.
Within the Sword Formation, the woman in the red attire burst into laughter and exclaimed, "Ignorant fool! Even though my cultivation has not fully recovered, today I am more than capable of tearing apart this feeble Sword Formation of yours!"
In the midst of the rampant surging of countless sword energies, the figure of the woman in the red attire madly surged forward, occasionally dodging the sweeping attacks of the four battle swords that came her way.
However, it can be seen that even though Lian Cangqing's figure was elusive, she still struggled to break through the ancient sword formation filled with surging sword energies.
However, at the edge of the altar in the void, Lu Heng's situation underwent a new change.
As the cold beam of light flew towards him, a small bronze cauldron suddenly soared out from Lu Heng's sleeve.
The small cauldron, originally only a palm-sized object, but as it flew out from the sleeve, it expanded in the wind, instantly transforming into a magnificent large cauldron over ten meters tall.
On the surface of the cauldron, there were also imprints of the heavens, earth, mountains, rivers, and all living beings. The two prominent characters "Green State" engraved on the bottom emitted an undeniable presence, which one dare not overlook.
-This Green State Cauldron, it seems even more terrifying than the Yuz State Cauldron suspended above the throne.
Moreover, from within the Green State Cauldron, there also emanated an immensely rich vitality. Countless streams of vibrant life essence hung down, providing direct protection to Lu Heng and Xiao Ai within its embrace.
When the peculiar beam of light, flying out from the chests of the Wuyou and Wuyu siblings, collided with the protective barrier of spiritual essence, it proved utterly impervious.
In the clash between life and death, the entire city trembled madly. The violent shockwaves surged in all directions, and the tremendous storm was capable of demolishing every mortal structure in its path.
The figure on the throne witnessed this scene, yet instead of being angered by their methods being obstructed, they became exceedingly excited, their eyes fixated upon the colossal bronze cauldron looming above Lu Heng's head.
"The Green State Cauldron… It actually contains such an enormous amount of vital life essence?! Hahaha… The Master of the Green State Cauldron, you were reluctant to use this vast reserve of life essence, but now it seems that I am going to benefit from it! Hahaha…"
The figure on the throne became ecstatic and let out a wild howl. It opened its hands, and in an instant, the immense Yu State Cauldron in the void began to tremble violently. Soon after, within the Yu State Cauldron, countless streams of rich vital life essence also emanated.
However, these streams of vital life essence didn't surge towards the Master of the Yu State Cauldron seated on the throne; instead, they directly descended upon the earth, dissolving within the city.
In the repulsive city structures, covered in blood-red flesh-like growths reminiscent of animal organs, a series of excited roars erupted.
An incredibly dense aura of dark malevolence surged within the city.
Within the city, one enormous blood-red flesh ball after another emerged. Within these eerie crimson orbs, faint glimpses could be seen of terrifying creature figures colliding in a frenzy, desperate to break free.
Upon the throne, the Master of the Yu State Cauldron smirked coldly and said, "Within this city, there are tens of thousands of ancient gods and demons, innate cultivators, and the remains of ancient exotic beasts, all sealed."
"Although their essence of life and entire souls have been devoured by me, as long as the life essence of sentient beings is bestowed upon their corpse remnants, they can still manifest some of their former power."
"This is the unparalleled might possessed only by The Yu State Cauldron! Since you dare to intrude upon my city with an abundance of life essence, there is no longer any hope for you!"
Amidst the resounding shout of the Master of the Yuz State Cauldron, tens of thousands of flesh balls rising within the city shattered simultaneously, unleashing a series of ferocious and bizarre figures.
There were ancient gods and demons clad in battle swords, drenched in blood yet brandishing spears and swords.
There were innate cultivators with withered visages, desiccated corpses, yet still emanating a powerful aura.
There were also tremendous monstrous beasts with formidable abilities…
The words of the Master of the Yu State Cauldron were, astonishingly, not the slightest bit exaggerated.
The ancient corpses that soared throughout the entire city were all peak beings who had reached the realm of innate cultivation!
The Master of the Yu State Cauldron, unexpectedly harbored such an abundance of powerful corpses… Even if just one-tenth of these corpses perished by its hand, it would still be an incomprehensibly horrifying occurrence.
At this moment, let alone Lu Heng, even the three demonic creatures who had formed the sword formation to besiege Lian Cangqing have now realized that something is amiss.
They recalled the words spoken earlier by Lian Cangqing…
"As beings of the Celestial Desolation Realm, you dare to have such an association with this wretched creature…"
The once proud Green-eye Demon, now wore an expression of utmost unease.
What is this enigmatic entity, the Master of the Yu State Cauldron, whose origins remain shrouded in mystery!
