Chapter 2114: The Birth of the Cauldron

The appearance of many spatial faults divided the huge True Dragon Island into tens of thousands of regions. The top cultivators on the island were scattered all over and had no idea where they were.

“Good thing that we have suppressed that old fellow. Otherwise, God knows where we would have found him,” Blackie said happily.

At this moment, Saint King Zixin of the Three-Eyed Ancients came and met up with the other Re-awakeners. He looked at the Vermilion Aurum and Thousandblade. He was deeply shocked when he saw the two of them kill the two Reverends of the Bone Clan, therefore, he asked, “How did you two recover so much strength in such a short period?”

All the top cultivators who had been in deep slumber since ancient times could not recover their former strength immediately after they had woke up. Instead, there was a process of recovery.

When they landed on the True Dragon Island, neither the Vermilion Aurum nor the Thousandblade had recovered to their current strength. Therefore, when they were ambushed by the Nether Clan’s Seven Top killers, they kept a low profile and did not attack rashly, alternatively, they worked together with rests to activate the Silver Shenlong Armor on Ao Xinyan.

Vermilion Aurum laughed and said, “Of course, there is always a chance.”

Thousandblade said frankly, “We came to the True Dragon Island and obtained The Sun-Moon Dragon Spring. After being baptized by the spring, the effects of the long slumber were eliminated.”

Hearing that, the spirits of all the Re-awakeners, including Saint King Zixin, were lifted. They undoubtedly needed the Sun-Moon Dragon Spring for the baptism.

Vermilion Aurum have guessed what they were thinking, he couldn’t help but sigh. “The Sun- Moon Dragon Spring is extremely mysterious and it can appear anywhere. Brother Thousandblade and I haven’t discovered the source of the spring. We only found a dozen or so drops of spring water by accident, barely enough for us to recover both our strength. There was no excess.”

Hearing this, Saint King Zixin and the rest all felt disappointed. If they could obtain a large amount of the Sun-Moon Dragon Spring, their strength would recover to its former peak.

“The Sun-Moon Dragon Spring is one of its kind holy spring. It has long since become mystic and able to teleport itself here and there. Even a Supreme Saint would not be able to halt it. Whether or not we can obtain the holy spring depends entirely on the mood of the Sun-Moon Dragon Spring. Even when I made my move back then, I did not succeed. It is even more cunning than the old gramps trapped by the formation.” Blackie gritted his teeth and said.

Blackie was also very eager to obtain some of the Sun-Moon Dragon Springwater. Though it couldn’t eliminate the influence of the Shenlong Chaos Tower of Sun and Moon’s power, it would be a great help in stabilizing its powers of the Supreme Sainthood. It was not as fortunate as it was now, and it could not be triggered for a long time.

WA-WA!

Suddenly, an extremely ear-piercing cry sounded.

Everyone who heard the cry felt their hair stand on end. In their minds, some terrifying scenes emerged, as if they were in Infernal Asuran. If one’s mental will was not strong enough, it would be eroded and controlled by a strange and evil will.

“It’s this crying sound again. What is it?” Ao Xinyan frowned slightly.

She had heard this crying sound before, but she had not seen the source of it.

Blackie narrowed his eyes and said, “It’s the Mojo, one of the overlords on the True Dragon Island. Through the infiltration of spiritual power, it caused the cultivators to change and become such as these vile creatures.”

As he spoke, Blackie used Saint Qi to transform into an image of the creepy children. It was only one meter tall, with blood-red eyes and legless. Only dozens of tentacles supported its body.

Blackie and Zhang Ruochen had encountered this kind of creepy children before. That kind of strange spiritual power attack almost made them suffer.

Seeing the strange shape of the creepy children, Ao Xinyan and the others were all in shock. It was most certainly unheard of for a cultivator to have such a strange change.

Fortunately, their spiritual willpower was sturdy, so the effect of the crying on them was negligible. So long as they did not meet the strange and unpredictable Mojo, they should not have any problems.

Blackie and the others were not afraid of the crying, on the other hand, some cultivators with weaker spiritual willpower would be in big trouble. All Kinds of creepy images would appear in their minds, which directly led to hallucination and then they will begin to mutate.

Their eyes turned blood-red, and their bodies began to shrink. They gradually turned into children. The scene of it was extremely terrifying.

In a short time, large numbers of cultivators from the Celestial Court and Infernal Court were controlled by the Mojo and were transformed into creepy children. It was disastrous.

After turning into those creepy children, they began to attack the other cultivators near them. They used their spiritual power to erode them. They wanted everyone to be infected to turn into Mojo’s children. Its spread like a plague with wildfire.

As Zhang Ruochen and the Dragon Phantom Lord were on their way, several black-figured shadows suddenly emerged from the ground and turned into several creepy children. They all opened their mouths and bared their sharp teeth. They cried loudly and attacked with their spiritual power like a tidal wave, they rushed into the minds of Zhang Ruochen and the Dragon Phantom Lord.

In an instant, a hideous ghost face appeared in Zhang Ruochen’s mind. It wanted to devour his spiritual willpower.

Hmph!

Zhang Ruochen snorted coldly. He mobilized his spiritual power and immediately tore the ghost face in his mind into pieces.

At the same time, Zhang Ruochen released the power of space to instantly build a spatial cage to trap all the creepy children.

Then, Zhang Ruochen released a stream of spiritual power to probe into the mind of one of the creepy children. He wanted to examine it in detail.

His spiritual power entered the mind of the creepy child, he was drowned by a sea of blood and was faintly targeted by a terrifying behemoth.

However, he did not see the face of the behemoth. He only saw a pair of blood-red eyes filled with boundless killing intent.

“Master, these are the children of the Mojo. They all have the will of the Mojo. So do not use your spiritual power to examine them. Otherwise, it will easily attract the attention of the Mojo,” the Dragon Phantom Lord warned.

Zhang Ruochen did not hesitate. He immediately cut off the spiritual power he was about to release.

Then, he clenched his hand. The spatial cage was destroyed entirely. Several of the creepy children perished along with it.

The Dragon Phantom Lord said, “Master, the Mojo is usually in a deep slumber. Now that he has released the children, he should be fully awake. We must be more extra cautious.”

“What is the Mojo?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

The Dragon Phantom Lord explained, “Mojo’s true body was a heart. It originated from a god in the Infernal Court. It absorbed endless resentment Qi on the True Dragon Island and gave birth to intelligent sentience. It was born with the terrifying ability to control the minds of other living beings.

“Over the years, the creatures on the True Dragon Island were not only the five overlords. The weaker ones were almost all controlled by the Mojo and he also collected the most treasures amongst all.”

The Dragon Phantom Lord was undoubtedly afraid of Mojo, especially now that its power had been weakened. If it fought against the Mojo, it would undoubtedly be at a disadvantage.

“I see it now. No wonder Mojo is so evil. But if you and I join hands, we don’t have to be afraid of it,” Zhang Ruochen said calmly.

His and the Dragon Evil Emperor’s spiritual willpower was both impenetrable and would not be easily eroded. At the same time, they had the dimensional technique, so it was not a problem for them to protect themselves.

In addition, when Zhang Ruochen and Blackie met the creepy children last time, they found that the creepy children seemed to be afraid of the power of Yang. Perhaps this was one of the weaknesses of the Mojo.

Without the creepy children blocking the way, Zhang Ruochen and the Dragon Phantom Lord continued to move forward. At this time, the deeper they went into the ruins of the Dragon God Temple, the greater the chance of obtaining treasures.

On the way, Zhang Ruochen did not miss out on any cultivators from the Infernal Court. He killed them all.

Speaking of which, he had already collected many Saint Souls of the cultivators from the Infernal Court. Including a strand of the Son of Darkness’s Saint Soul, he could exchange it for plenty of merits.

According to the rules set by the Fane of Merit, even if he killed the weakest Neverwither Supreme Saint, he would get 30 million merits. If he killed the best of them, he would get hundreds of millions of merits.

When the Son of Darkness was killed, he had already broken through to the Neverwither Supreme Sainthood. He was definitely not an ordinary Neverwither Supreme Saint. The merits that he could exchange with a wisp of his Saint Soul would definitely not be disappointed.

Passing through another spatial fault, Zhang Ruochen’s eyes could not help but light up. He saw not only one but four familiar figures.

Two of them were familiar to Zhang Ruochen. They were Ao Xukong and Immortal Minghu.

He had never met the other two, but he recognized them. One was the first Imperial Scion of the Thousand-Star Civilization, Xing Wuji, and the other was the Giant Spirit King of the Giant Spirit Civilization, Jin Yu.

There were one thousand Imperial Scion in the Thousand-Star Civilization. To be able to rank first, Xing Wuji was extraordinary.

Giant Spirit King was the most respected title in the Giant Spirit Civilization. Only the top-tier cultivators below the Supreme Saint could achieve it and a great honor.

Throughout the history of the Giant Spirit Civilization, nearly every generation of Giant Spirit Kings had attained Supreme Saint or even becoming the Gods.

Jin Yu was a golden giant like Dazun. He was 99 meters tall, which was the limit of the Saint King realm.

Zhang Ruochen was surprised to meet Ao Xukong, Immortal Minghu, Xing Wuji, and Jin Yu at the same time. He didn’t expect that even the spatial fault couldn’t separate the four of them.

Ao Xukong and the other three felt the presence of someone was coming and couldn’t help but look at him.

“Zhang Ruochen.” The moment Immortal Minghu saw Zhang Ruochen, his gaze couldn’t help but become a little surprised.

He can’t help it because he had a conflict with Zhang Ruochen before. So he was worried that Zhang Ruochen would seek revenge upon him.

Zhang Ruochen moved and hopped down from the Dragon Phantom Lord’s head. He appeared next to Ao Xukong. Among the four, he was closest with Ao Xukong.

“You can even pass through the spatial fault easily. Brother Ruochen, you really make us envious,” Ao Xukong said with a smile.

It was clear that Zhang Ruochen had displayed his great strength in the battle with the Son of Darkness. Ao Xukong’s attitude toward him had changed slightly. He regarded Zhang Ruochen as a top cultivator of the same level, and there was a hint of respect in his eyes.

Zhang Ruochen shook his head slightly and said, “If I could really pass through the spatial fault easily, I wouldn’t have let the Top Seven Killers of the Nether Clan escape.”

“I can only say that they were lucky to have encountered the changes happening on the True Dragon Island. But from now on, as long as you are around, the Nether Clan’s Top Seven Killers will probably have to go around to avoid you,” Ao Xukong said.

At this time, Xing Wuji, Immortal Minghu, and Jin Yu also came over. No matter what, they couldn’t turn a blind eye to Zhang Ruochen.

With the Dragon Phantom Lord by Zhang Ruochen’s side, anyone would need to think twice before facing them.

Xing Wuji smiled and said, “From now on, Brother Zhang will lead the Kunlun Realm’s Battlefield of Merits. I think the Infernal Court will have a headache.”

What he said was the truth. If Zhang Ruochen could overpower the Son of Darkness, how many people below the Supreme Saint of the Infernal Court could be stronger than the Son of Darkness?

It could be said that Zhang Ruochen’s strong rise would definitely pose a great obstacle to the invasion of the Kunlun Realm by the Infernal Court.

The key point was that with Zhang Ruochen’s current strength, even if the Infernal Court wanted to eliminate him, it would be impossible. He controlled the power of dimension and time. If Zhang Ruochen wanted to leave, None below the Supreme Saint could stop him?

“Brother Zhang…” Jin Yu was about to speak when the ground suddenly collapsed and thousands of auspicious qi rushed out of the ground.

“A treasure has appeared.” In an instant, Zhang Ruochen and the others all reacted.

Judging from the movement, they could roughly tell that the treasure that had appeared should be very unusual.

Swoosh!

With the surging of a refreshing and strange fragrance, countless divine dragons flew out of the ground and go in all directions.

“It’s a Heaven Grade Sacred Pill.” Immortal Minghu’s eyes lit up.

At this moment, Zhang Ruochen and the others could see that the dozens of divine dragons in different shapes and sizes were formed from Sacred Pills. They all had mighty power and were comparable to the Nine-Step Saint King.

The Heaven Grade Sacred Pills were of utmost precious. Only the alchemists could refine them, and they were challenging to mass-produce.

A Heave Grade Sacred Pills would cost at least tens of millions of saint stones or even hundreds of millions of saint stones. Only a handful of Saint Kings could afford it.

Therefore, it was usually the Supreme Saints who used the Heaven Grade Sacred Pill to cultivate.

Without any hesitation, Zhang Ruochen and the others took the Heaven Grade Sacred Pill as quickly as possible.

Even with their current cultivation, the Heaven Grade Sacred Pill would still be profitable.

Although the Heaven Grade Sacred Pill was powerful, it couldn’t fight back against Zhang Ruochen and the others.

In the blink of an eye, the Heaven Grade Sacred Pills were all gone. Zhang Ruochen had five, Ao Xukong and Xing Wuji had three, Jin Yu had two, and Immortal Minghu had one. All of them had gained something.

Of course, this was the result of Zhang Ruochen not letting Dragon Phantom Lord interfered. Otherwise, Ao Xukong and the others might not even be able to get a single Heaven Grade Sacred Pill.

These Heaven Grade Sacred Pills were a small token of his gratitude for the help of Ao Xukong and the other three.

At this moment, there was another movement underground. A bronze cauldron flew out. It looked very ancient. There were many azure divine dragons carved on the body of the cauldron. It looked very lifelike as if it would fly up at any moment.

BANG!

As if someone was controlling it, the cauldron crashed through space and flew away.

“After it.” Zhang Ruochen reacted instantly. He appeared above the Dragon Phantom Lord’s head and gave the order at the same time.

Whoosh!

The Dragon Phantom Lord used dimensional technique to the extreme. He tailed behind the cauldron with the speed of lightning and passed through the broken space.

Ao Xukong and the other three reacted quickly, but they didn’t dare to follow like Zhang Ruochen and the Dragon Phantom Lord. After all, they weren’t cultivators of dimension. It would be very troublesome if they fell into a spatial fault.

“The Heaven Grade Sacred Pills that were just born must have flown out of this cauldron. There might be higher-grade sacred pills inside. It’s a pity.” Jin Yu couldn’t help but sigh.

Ao Xukong said, “No one knows if there are King Grade Sacred Pills inside the cauldron, but the cauldron itself is an extremely precious treasure. There are seven divine dragons carved on the cauldron. It means that you can use it to refine King Grade Sacred Pills.”

Hearing Ao Xukong’s words, Xing Wuji, Immortal Minghu, and Jin Yu’s expressions couldn’t help but change. It was a pity that such a precious cauldron had slipped off their fingers. They didn’t know if Zhang Ruochen could get it.

Dragon patterns were engraved on the cauldrons of the dragonkin. The quality of the cauldron could be judged by the number of dragon engravements.

The worst cauldron had only one dragon pattern engraved on it, and the best had nine.

Legend had it that cauldrons with Nine-dragon Cauldron could refine divine pills, which was the dream of all alchemists.

Even with the heritage of the Divine Dragon race of Kunlun Realm, they only had one Nine-dragon Cauldron. It was unknown whether it had been destroyed during the celestial war in the past.

Although the Seven-dragon Cauldron could not compare to the Nine-dragon Cauldron, it could still refine King Grade Sacred Pills. In many vast worlds, there were only a few of them. Their value was immeasurable.

One had to know that the Elixir Spirit of a King Grade Sacred Pill already had the battle prowess of a Supreme Saint. From this, one could imagine how shocking the medicinal strength of a King Grade Sacred Pill was.

An ordinary Saint King wanting to collect or swallow a King Grade Sacred Pill was no different from courting death.

…

The Son of Darkness is the greatest villain of all time, will there ever be a villain who would surpass than him?
