Chapter 512: A Mysterious World
Buzz-
A strange muffled sound, and Lu Heng, standing on the back of the Tao Wu beast, slightly startled. He lowered his head and looked down at his sleeve.
Within his sleeve, the two small bronze cauldrons were undergoing some unknown changes, continuously shaking with faint signs of wanting to take flight.
The aura of the World-ending Nine Cauldrons unexpectedly manifested directly, surging within this desolate otherworldly space.
The mighty beast Tao Wu beneath Lu Heng's feet quickly halted its steps, anxiously surveying the surroundings. "Senior Wolf God! It appears that there is some nefarious artifact about to emerge here!"
Lu Heng remained somewhat speechless and said, "Don't panic, it's the Nine Cauldrons that I carry with me."
After saying that, Lu Heng lightly waved his sleeve, and two small bronze cauldrons flew out directly from within it, each trailing a brilliant light as they flew into the nearby void, vigorously trembling.
Within the desolate otherworldly space, the two small bronze cauldrons continuously swayed, seemingly attracted by some obscure connection. As the two cauldrons continued to sway, the entire desolate otherworldly space surprisingly started to ripple.
Within the space, strange ripples continued to appear, accompanied by immense pressure that caused even the formidable ancient beast Tao Wu to slightly gasp for breath.
Tao Wu looked astonished at the two cauldrons before him and murmured, "World-ending Nine Cauldrons?"
Tao Wu, who possesses the ancient heritage, naturally recognized this terrifying weapon, thus being filled with unparalleled astonishment.
After all, this wicked Magical Tool is carried by the Wolf God himself.
Such a combination appears exceedingly peculiar.
However, Tao Wu unquestionably trusts Lu Heng and therefore will not have any wild thoughts because of it. It merely looks at the two small cauldrons before it with astonishment and says, "Senior Wolf God, why have these two World-ending cauldrons suddenly shown unusual activity?"
Lu Heng frowned and sensed for a moment, looking towards the boundless distance. He said, "It is probably the awakening of the remaining seven cauldrons… in the midst of the Earthly Catastrophe, the World-ending Nine Cauldrons play an extremely crucial role. It seems that the catastrophe of the Celestial Desolation Realm is truly about to descend…"
Lu Heng's words left Tao Wu speechless.
It naturally knew that the Earthly Catastrophe was imminent, and it was also aware of the horror of the nine cauldrons from the inherited memories. However, the knowledge from the inherited memories could never compare to the awe-inspiring experience of witnessing the nine cauldrons in person.
Merely two yet unrecovered World-ending cauldrons have already exerted such immense pressure on it. If the Earthly Catastrophe arrives and the fully awakened World-ending Nine Cauldrons emerge… Oh, what a terrifying sight that would be.
Tao Wu felt a heavy burden in its mind.
Although in this life it has transformed into a murderous beast, having regained its memories from the previous life, it still holds a certain sense of belonging to the Celestial Desolation Realm.
Now that the World-ending Catastrophe is truly approaching, its state of mind naturally becomes unsettled.
Lu Heng, on the other hand, gazed at the two trembling bronze cauldrons for a while before saying, "Let's go, the catastrophe won't arrive for a while."
After speaking, Lu Heng lightly waved his sleeve and directly tossed the two trembling World-ending cauldrons towards Xiao Ai at his side.
These two small cauldrons may appear insignificant, but they incessantly emit terrifying invisible waves, capable of annihilating everything. If innate cultivators were to accidentally collide with them, they would likely be reduced to dust on the spot. However, Xiao Ai remains fearlessly undaunted.
Lu Heng didn't speak, but she still understood the intentions of the Wolf God. She directly opened her arms and embraced the two terrifying bronze cauldrons.
Clang-
As the two bronze cauldrons fell into Xiao Ai's embrace, a clear and crisp sword chime resonated from the Heavenly Thunder Sword resting on her back.
At the next moment, these two incessantly trembling World-ending cauldrons suddenly quieted down and ceased their restlessness.
With the might of the Heavenly Thunder Sword, it could barely subdue these two as-yet-unrecovered Nine Cauldrons.
Lu Heng, not surprised by this outcome, said, "Let's continue, we shall venture inside and take a look."
The current Lu Heng, accompanied by Xiao Ai, is now heading towards the profound depths of the enigmatic space mentioned by Tao Wu.
The world mentioned by Tao Wu, which Lu Heng attached great importance to, instinctively told him that it undoubtedly concealed immense secrets.
Therefore, after leaving the Arctic Skyark Palace, Lu Heng returned to Cangwu Abyss to reunite with Xiao Ai and Tao Wu, asking Tao Wu to lead them into that eerie world ravaged by ferocious beasts.
However, they didn't anticipate a sudden disturbance from the cauldrons along the way, slightly interrupting their journey.
However, with the presence of the Heavenly Thunder Sword suppressing it, these two cauldrons are unlikely to pose any immediate problems. Lu Heng, Tao Wu, and Xiao Ai once again embarked on their journey into the enigmatic space.
Tao Wu constantly traversed through a desolate extradimensional space.
A peculiar and unique power gathered around Tao Wu. Under the influence of this extraordinary force, Tao Wu was able to effortlessly shuttle through the chaotic and inexplicable extradimensional space.
The extradimensional space that Lu Heng and his companions were facing, to put it bluntly, was a small world that existed in association with the Celestial Desolation Realm, belonging to the dimensional fringe of the Celestial Desolation Realm.
The Green Hell Cave is one of such extradimensional spaces.
However, the purpose of Lu Heng and his companions' journey is by no means a mere small world.
Tao Wu traverses through one small world after another, stepping over the peculiar and inexplicable edges of numerous realms, continuously venturing into enigmatic domains that elude the comprehension of ordinary mortals.
Here, at the mysterious outskirts of the Celestial Desolation Realm, beyond the primary world, is a place that even top-tier cultivators like Lu Heng have never heard of.
The only ones who have witnessed the true appearance of this world are the four ancient ferocious beasts that have survived since antiquity.
However, each time the four ancient ferocious beasts manifest in this world, it is a merciless slaughter. They don't befriend humans, let alone share the true secrets of their lair with the world. If it weren't for a fortuitous coincidence, the Old Man Wu, reincarnated into this realm and now willingly guides the way. Lu Heng, without such serendipity, may never discover this peculiar region.
Here, the boundaries of time and space are exceedingly blurred.
Even someone of Lu Heng's caliber as a top cultivator, can clearly perceive the passage of time, even without any frame of reference. However, now, as he ventures deeper into the eerie boundaries of this dimension, Lu Heng finds himself gradually losing his sense of time.
Even the perception itself has gradually become murky and blurred, leaving him feeling dazed and disoriented.
In this bewildering and eerie state, it is unclear how long it has persisted. Amidst the haze, Lu Heng faintly discerns the deep and resonant voice of Tao Wu.
"The Wolf God, the boundary lies ahead… Be cautious, as it might get a bit turbulent."
The sound, as it were, seemed incredibly distant.
Lu Heng's murky consciousness had just regained some clarity, only to sense a tremendous force of attraction seizing him.
Thereafter, the world spun and whirled around.
Lu Heng felt as if his very soul was on the verge of being flung away.
Within the rapid swirling around him, there existed an eerie force potent enough to obliterate the soul and dissolve everything.
Even he, who cultivated the Heavenly Thunder, couldn't help but be secretly alarmed by that uncanny power.
However, shielded by the peculiar energy emanating from Tao Wu, Lu Heng remained unaffected by the enigmatic forces surrounding him.
Eventually, as the sensation of spinning and whirling came to a halt, Lu Heng's perception gradually regained its composure.
What lay before his eyes was a gloomy sky, blood-red earth, and an endless storm swirling within this eerie realm. Within the tempest, monstrous beings roared, each one comparable to ancient creatures such as the Candle Dragon and the Nine Phoenix.
Even such formidable creatures, when engulfed by the terrifying pitch-black storm, were utterly defenseless and torn apart with no resistance.
The piercing wails resounded continuously across this eerie land.
Meanwhile, beneath Lu Heng's feet, the massive ferocious beast Tao Wu had virtually collapsed into a heap, evidently bearing immense injuries from traversing the level of enigmatic destructive power just moments ago.
By Lu Heng's side, the figure of Xiao Ai also swayed unsteadily, resembling someone intoxicated, her eyes blurred and hazy. If it weren't for her subconscious act of clutching onto one of Lu Heng's hands, she would have likely tumbled to the ground in a disheveled manner long ago.
Tao Wu took a full quarter of an hour before regaining its senses.
Gasping for breath in a disheveled state, it gazed at the Wolf God with an unaffected demeanor on its back, awkwardly smiled, and said, "Sorry, my cultivation is too low."
Lu Heng, on the other hand, smiled gently and then pointed towards a colossal black line in the far-off horizon, inquiring, "What could that be?"
In the direction indicated by Lu Heng, at the distant horizon, there stretched a jet-black line that reached from the sky to the earth. Despite the infinite distance between them, it still exuded a tremendous sense of oppression, surpassing even the ubiquitous eerie black storms present in this world, and instilling an overwhelming sense of dread.
After Tao Wu cast a brief glance in that direction, it said, "The Wolf God, for there lies the source of malevolence, the tomb of sealed evils… Mount Buzhou!"
