Chapter 403: Earthly Behemoth!
Within the extraordinary dimensional space, the towering and terrifying apparition of the Nine Phoenix emitted a deafening and magnificent sound.
Clearly, upon witnessing the emergence of the Nine Cauldron, this ancient being who had experienced the Earthly Catastrophe lost composure.
Meanwhile, beneath the Green State Cauldron, Lu Heng found himself rather helpless, never anticipating that the Green State Cauldron would proactively emerge to protect its master.
In theory, he and the Green State Cauldron had no telepathic connection, and Lu Heng had never even refined this cauldron before. Both parties had absolutely no relation whatsoever. Yet, this cauldron would actively emerge every time Lu Heng faced a life-or-death crisis, as if fearing his demise.
Such earnest protective behavior left Lu Heng feeling quite helpless.
After learning the secrets of the Nine Cauldrons, he truly didn't wish to become the Lord of Nine Cauldrons, indeed.
Moreover, when the true ancient beings laid eyes on the Nine Cauldrons, they were all as startled as if they had seen a ghost. Whether it was Lian Cangqing or the current Lord of the Nine Phoenix Palace, witnessing Lu Heng take control of the Nine Cauldrons elicited such a shocked reaction, leaving Lu Heng feeling helpless.
Just at that moment, another cauldron, made of green bronze, flew out from Lu Heng's sleeve.
After the demise of the Lord of Seven Desires, the Yuz State Cauldron, which was entrusted to the care of Lu Heng, unexpectedly flew out on its own accord, transforming into a massive cauldron of green bronze, hovering in the void.
However, Lu Heng's headspace had already been occupied by the Green State Cauldron, while the Yuz State Cauldron merely circled around Lu Heng, soaring up and down. Within the cauldron, a majestic and boundless vitality surged incessantly, eagerly awaiting Lu Heng's utilization.
Upon witnessing this scene, the colossal illusion of Nine Phoenix had already ceased to remain calm.
Instead, it verged on madness.
"Two cauldrons?! You possess two world-ending Nine Cauldrons in your hands?"
The towering and terrifying illusion emitted sounds that resounded like thunderous echoes, causing everyone's ears to throb in pain.
Without waiting for Lu Heng to speak, the immense demon shadow from the otherworldly realm gritted its teeth and said, "Very well! Since you have presented yourself with such pose, today I shall determine our relative standing!"
"In a single move, if I win, I shall take Mo Xingzi away. If I lose, I shall simply depart, leaving them at your disposal!"
The sudden proposition from Nine Phoenix left Lu Heng somewhat speechless.
It is evident that the overwhelming power of the Nine Cauldrons led the Nine Phoenix to relinquish her claim over the court maiden and abandon any intention of rescuing Mo Xingzi.
Being a prominent figure in the demonic path, even if threatened by the might of the Nine Cauldrons, she could not possibly abandon all semblance of dignity and flee. Despite her inner dread, she must persevere in upholding a gentleman's agreement with Lu Heng and determine the fate of Mo Xingzi through a supposed decisive move.
And this so-called agreement to decide the outcome with a single move was nothing more than a way for Nine Phoenix to save face for herself.
After all, both Lu Heng and Nine Phoenix were well aware that Lu Heng, under the protection of the Nine Cauldrons, was nearly invincible, impervious to countless methods…
Under the influence of the Green State Cauldron, Lu Heng found himself somewhat helpless.
He is well aware of his own situation, as one who has not even reached the level of the Innate Realm in cultivation. He is inferior to beings like Xie Yunniang, let alone the terrifying and mysterious Lord of the Nine Phoenix Palace.
Even though Lu Heng possesses numerous treasures in his hands, without the decisive power of the Heavenly Thunder Sword, he remains utterly defenseless in front of the Lord of the Nine Phoenix Palace.
So Lu Heng had no intention of pretending to be a formidable cultivator. Instead, he straightforwardly said, "Palace Lord, you can just take this young lady with you, there's no need to further compete in superiority."
The world-ending Nine Cauldron is ultimately an ominous object with an unknown origin, and Lu Heng doesn't wish to rely his life and death on this nefarious artifact that has reaped the lives of countless beings.
-In the event that Nine Phoenix makes a fierce move, there is a momentary possibility that the Green State Cauldron slips away, wouldn't Lu Heng be unquestionably doomed?
However, after Lu Heng finished speaking, the immense Nine Phoenix phantom replied, "The Wolf God need not say more! Once the Nine cauldron is unleashed, it shall not return without results… I understand this rule!"
"After my defeat, this trace of essence in my incarnation shall fully return to the Wolf God, without any resistance!"
As the voice resounded, the Lord of the Nine Phoenix Palace, who carries the tremendous burden of being a great idol, bellowed in anger, directly mobilizing the surrounding malevolent aura. It transformed into a dazzling colossal demonic palm, brimming with ferocity, and fiercely descended upon Lu Heng.
With this palm, the entirety of her transformed demonic aura has been unleashed. Once this palm is executed, regardless of the outcome, this embodiment will dissipate.
Within the solidified ancient sword formation, the five demonic beings all gazed up in awe at the colossal demonic palm soaring across the sky, being subdued by its terrifying might.
The Lord of the Nine Phoenix Palace, who casts a dominating shadow over the Northern realm, truly possesses a horrifying divine power. Just a mere embodiment, and yet it is already so terrifying! It is far beyond what an ordinary cultivator at the innate realm can provoke!
Just ahead of the flying demonic palm, beneath the colossal bronze cauldron, Lu Heng, dressed in white, wore an expression of helplessness, without even a hint of intention to raise his hand in defense.
Clearly, the Wolf God Lu has the victory within his grasp…
Although unaware of the power and legends surrounding the World-ending Cauldrons, at this moment, the five demonic beings instinctively discerned who would emerge victorious.
The Red-blue Twin Devils, Xie Yunniang, Ning Po, and even Mo Xingzi, were all despairingly closing their eyes at this moment, refraining from further speech.
As the vicious demonic palm swooped down, in that moment, Lu Heng's head and the two Nine Cauldrons positioned beside him instantly trembled.
The two massive cauldrons dragged the vast vitality as they surged forward, directly colliding with the discarded incarnation of the Nine Phoenix.
Within the dimensional space, a tremendous and earth-shattering explosion erupted.
Not to mention that palm strike, even the incarnation of the Nine Phoenix crumbled and scattered amidst the resounding collision of the two majestic cauldrons.
Amidst the eruption of boundless spiritual energy, the lifeforce hanging down within the two Nine cauldrons, like tentacles, frantically harvested and absorbed the spiritual essence fragmented from the shattered incarnation.
Inside the Arctic Skyark Palace, the woman originally resting her forehead with closed eyes on the throne suddenly and forcefully opened her eyes, her complexion slightly pale.
"Such terrifying power…"
At the moment of the incarnation dissipation, she distinctly witnessed that eerie and peculiar dimensional space being shattered by the collision of the two Nine cauldrons!
This World-ending Nine Cauldrons, which has harvested countless beings, is terrifying every time it is beheld!
In the awakened heart of the Nine Phoenix, a hint of hidden concern emerged.
The Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain is actually the cauldron master of the World-ending Nine Cauldrons… Holding such a fearsome artifact, it seems that the supposed identity of being the leader of the righteous path is also false.
Knowing this beforehand, I should not have provoked this terrifying individual…
In the heart of the Nine Phoenix, there is some remorse.
Within the dimensional rift, Lu Heng, the incarnation of the dispersed Nine Phoenix, could no longer muster even a faint smile.
Due to everything happening before their eyes, the scene was even more terrifying than the appearance of the Nine Phoenix's illusion.
In order to seize the essence of the Nine Phoenix's incarnation, the two Nine cauldrons clashed with a resounding impact, unleashing an unparalleled terrifying power. Astonishingly, in the instant that shattered the Nine Phoenix's incarnation, this eerie and inexplicable dimensional rift was completely shattered as well!
A massive rift appeared within the dimensional rift.
Radiant celestial bodies filled the sky, appearing beyond the rift in that space.
A terrifying beast, so immense that its head and tail were unseen, and it was beyond reach above and below, was flying from outside the rift in that space. It seemed to sense the explosion in this area and was coming to investigate. The densely-packed golden scales covering its body alone were dauntingly imposing.
Each vertical length of its eyes measures hundreds of thousands of meters!
Such a terrifying behemoth almost shattered Lu Heng's perception. Even the overwhelming life essence emanating from the Green State Cauldron and the Yuz State Cauldron paled in insignificance before this monstrous creature, like a drop in the ocean!
In the chaotic void beyond the Celestial Desolation Realm, there lies a terrifying behemoth?!
No wonder Lu Heng experiences an inexplicable sense of terror every time he attempts to soar beyond the heavens!
So, there is such a monstrous creature lurking outside!
