Chapter 2141 - Escaping from the Cauldron
Chapter 2141: Escaping from the Cauldron
At this moment, sword Qi surged and crisscrossed. Just when Shui Yunlan was distracted, Zhu Wen’s sword cut through the protective ice around Shui Yunlan as it shone resplendently, striking Shui Yunlan’s chest mercilessly with an attack that completely matched up to Infinite Primes.
Shui Yunlan produced a deep grunt. Zhu Wen was a terrifying Godking who ranked second on the Godkings’ Throne after all. His battle prowess was extremely great, so after taking on this attack, Shui Yunlan became quite injured despite the protection of a god artifact armor. As her body was blown away and blood oozed out from her mouth, clearly exposed outside on the silver-white armor. It was eye-catching.
“Shui Yunlan is injured.”
“She can’t last much longer. Let’s go take that cauldron together, everyone.”
Many Godkings in the surroundings became riled up by this sight, so they all struck out.
“Shui Yunlan, you better hand over Jian Chen now. You may be powerful, but you can’t take Jian Chen away with you,” the skinny old man who comprehended the Laws of Death sneered. Afterwards, his hands danced, and a dense power of death surged out, forming a dense, grey mist that enveloped Shui Yunlan.
As soon as the power of death appeared, vegetation withered as they were reduced to nothing. The entire world darkened as if all of its vitality had been sucked away.
“What terrifying power of death.” In the surroundings, the expressions of the supreme Godkings who had gotten too close changed. They had just approached the power and had not come in contact with it, yet they felt weak as if their vitality was being drained away rapidly. It startled them, immediately causing them to come to a halt.
Enveloped by the power of death, Shui Yunlan’s face hidden beneath her helmet paled. Grey mist appeared in her eyes from time to time. which were the only part of her body exposed.
The power of death had already invaded her body through this opportunity, causing her to become weaker and weaker. The tremendous vitality in her leaked away at an unbelievable rate under the corrosion of the power of death.
At the same time, a withered hand appeared behind Shui Yunlan silently, pressing against her body with lightning speed.
Sheng Man who comprehended the Laws of Illusions and hid in between lies and reality struck out as well, injuring Shui Yunlan.
Spurt!
This time, Shui Yunlan directly vomited a mouthful of blood. Cold blood seeped through her armor, spurting out in the surroundings.
With just one incorrect step, she was doomed. Shui Yunlan’s carelessness had destroyed all the advantages she had before, throwing her into danger.
After all, she did not possess Jian Chen’s tough Chaotic Body, which could endure wounds of any degree without affecting battle prowess at all.
Now, after having taken on the powerful strikes of three supreme Godkings, Shui Yunlan had become quite injured.
At the same time, the cauldron in Shui Yunlan’s hands ended up with Sheng Man who had appeared behind her.
Sheng Man took the cauldron and produced a strange snigger before immediately fading away. She seemed to fuse into the space, fleeing off into the distance.
Zhu Wen’s gaze turned cold. He struck out with his sword, and resplendent sword Qi directly shot through Sheng Man’s body, but it failed to injure the illusionary Sheng Man.
The old man who comprehended the Laws of Death also targeted Sheng Man now, striking out with lightning speed.
Afterwards, several hundred supreme Godkings engaged in a struggle between the strong around the cauldron. Every single person among them was the cream of the crop, where they were the exact opposite of simple. Against several hundred supreme Godkings, Sheng Man was unable to escape with the cauldron even if she grasped the Laws of Illusions.
Several hundred god artifacts danced in the air as powerful ripples of energy shook up the surroundings. The blood of Godkings soaked the land. Supreme Godkings constantly suffered heavy injuries in this battle of great intensity. There were even a few people who directly died here, where their souls were dispersed.
The cauldron had already changed hands several times. It was in the centre of the violent storm, enduring extremely vicious strikes. If it had not been a low quality god artifact, it probably would have been reduced to pieces long ago.
No one paid any more attention to the owner of the cauldron. Everyone only had one objective, and that was to escape with the cauldron.
“Shui Yunlan, how do you know about the Beast God Continent? Have you been to our homeland?” The Golden Divine Dragon, Rui Di, and the phoenix, Zhi Ye, arrived before Shui Yunlan as they asked her eagerly. They were hopeful.
Shui Yunlan’s gaze remained cold, without any emotions. However, Audriana flickered with green light beside her as she poured tremendous life force into Shui Yunlan, assisting her in suppressing the power of death and helped to heal her wounds.
She had grievances with Shui Yunlan, but Audriana was not someone who would ignore the bigger picture. She knew that she was unable to protect Jian Chen all by herself with the current situation. She had to work with Shui Yunlan.
As a result, even if she was completely reluctant inside, she had to do this.
“It’s not the time to discuss this right now. If you really do belong to the Dragon and Phoenix clans that came to the Saints’ World with the Winged Tiger God a million years ago, then help Jian Chen because he also comes from the Tian Yuan Continent, and he has ties with you clansmen,” the person who answered Rui Di and Zhi Ye was Audriana.
Rui Di and Zhi Ye were shocked. Although they did not come from that age, they did hear quite a lot of stories about a million years ago from their seniors. They knew that they were originally two powerful clans in the lower world and had no idea about the Saints’ World back then. They just followed a Winged Tiger God, and under its lead, they undertook a mass migration, moving from the lower world to the Saints’ World and establishing a Sect of Dragons and Phoenixes in the Saints’ World.
This information was a secret in the Sect of Dragons and Phoenixes. Only clansmen who possessed a certain level of status could learn about it.
Information that was originally completely secret was actually known by Shui Yunlan and Audriana, and they had mentioned the Tian Yuan Continent. They seemed extremely familiar with this lower world. What could it all mean?
At this moment, three old men sat in a triangle on a mountain peak several hundred thousand kilometres away. A tremendous formation had been perfectly cast down between the three of them, radiating with powerful pulses of energy.
“The formation has basically finished charging up, and its target presence has been locked onto as well. It’s time we do it,” one of the old men said.
The other two old men nodded at the same time. They all created hand seals and activated the formation.
Immediately, supreme power erupted from the formation like a tidal wave, causing it to light up and flood the mountain range with light.
Several hundred thousand kilometres away, the space around the cauldron that all the supreme Godkings fought over suddenly distorted violently. Under everyone’s gazes, the cauldron abruptly vanished. When it appeared again, it was in the centre of the formation drawn up by the three old men several hundred thousand kilometres away.
“The cauldron has been stolen by somebody through a secret technique. It’s over there. Chase them down.”
“They’re looking to die by stealing from the powerful!”
Many supreme Godkings roared out as they flew towards the three old men several hundred thousand kilometres away.
Although the cauldron had vanished, its unique pulses as a god artifact still remained. Coupled with how the energy pulses from when the three old men stole the cauldron were too powerful, they were unable to hide it from the supreme Godkings even though they were so far away.
“Go!” The three old men called out. They combined their strength to ensnare the struggling cauldron as they left as quickly as they could.
However, at this moment, a fist-sized tower that seemed extremely damaged suddenly flew out from the cauldron. Under the shocked gazes of the three old men, a figure silently appeared.
This person, unsurprisingly, was Jian Chen.
With a wave of his hand, Jian Chen stowed the Anatta Tower away. He clasped his fist at the three old men and smiled, “Thank you, the three of you. If it were not for you, I probably would not have been able to escape from their encirclement.” With that, Jian Chen turned around and left. He used the Linear Lightning Release and hurried off.
“God dammit, it’s Jian Chen! How did he break free from the restraints of a god artifact and escape here?” The three old men bellowed out in exasperation as they watched Jian Chen fly off into the distance.
