Chapter 125 Qiankun's Defeat and Escape, Qiankun Cauldron
The suppressive power of the Xuanhuang earth veins rendered them formless, while the burning and chaotic nature of the raging flames directly scorched their spatial structure.
The strangulation effect of the Four Symbols precisely severed their connection with the main body, while the permeation of the crimson clouds made them move as slowly as insects trapped in amber.
In the blink of an eye, all the illusions in the sky shattered! The true form of Qiankun Daoist could no longer be hidden. He was squeezed and shaken out from the carefully constructed spatial rifts by the violent energy turbulence and powerful sealing force, as if squeezed and shaken by an invisible giant hand!
His figure appeared rather disheveled amidst the churning energy storm. His once flowing black Daoist robe was torn in several places, and the chaotic protective aura hanging from the Qiankun Cauldron around him fluctuated violently, flickering unpredictably, as if it might dissipate at any moment.
Although he was not captured directly, the effectiveness of his famous spatial escape technique was greatly reduced, and his escape speed dropped sharply, as if he were stuck in an invisible quagmire, making it difficult for him to move!
"Damn it! These two!" Qiankun Daoren was terrified, his soul almost leaving his body! He never expected that not only were the opponents individually powerful, but their combined strength was also terrifying!
This tight blockade and this ferocious offensive are practically designed to keep him here permanently!
He could clearly feel the suffocating, viscous feeling and immense pressure emanating from the surrounding space, as well as the terrifying flames and omnipresent strangulation power that seemed to penetrate his pores and scorch his primordial spirit!
A chilling shadow of death instantly enveloped his heart.
He knew that if he could not break through this blockade immediately and at all costs, he would probably suffer a complete disaster today, all his millions of years of cultivation would be in vain, and he would be utterly ruined here!
The will to survive overwhelmed everything! A look of madness and extreme heartache flashed in Qiankun Daoist's eyes, and he hesitated no longer!
He bit his tongue sharply, and a stream of crimson blood containing his own pure spatial origin and life essence shot out like a blood arrow, precisely pouring onto the already dimmed Qiankun Cauldron in front of him!
"Reversing heaven and earth, shattering all laws! Open for me!!!"
He let out a near-desperate roar, his hands forming hand seals to their fullest extent!
The Qiankun Cauldron, having absorbed its master's life essence, emitted a violent tremor like a dying cry! The grand patterns of the sun, moon, stars, earth, water, fire, and wind that had been somewhat dim on the cauldron's body suddenly burst forth with the final, most intense, and most dazzling brilliance, as if in a final burst of light!
At this moment, the Qiankun Cauldron was no longer merely in a passive defense, but instead chose the most violent and decisive method—it compressed and condensed its remaining Qiankun Origin Power and the essence blood energy it had absorbed into a single point directly in front of the cauldron without reservation!
The cauldron even creaked under the strain, as if it were about to collapse completely at any moment!
"boom!!!!!!!!!"
The energy, condensed to its peak, erupted violently! The Qiankun Cauldron, like a warrior facing certain death, carried an indomitable and destructive momentum, crashing headlong into the seemingly impenetrable complex network of earth veins, flames, the four elements, and clouds in front of it!
The ferocity of this collision is indescribable! It was as if the entire primordial world fell silent for a moment! Immediately following was an energy explosion that was more violent and destructive than any before!
A destructive core that devoured all light and sound rapidly expanded, turning the space, laws, and energy of that area into chaos!
"Snap!"
Under this suicidal, frenzied assault, the incredibly resilient complex blockade was finally blasted open, leaving a tiny gap.
A distorted, extremely unstable spatial rift!
Beyond the crack, a relatively calm and unsealed primordial void can be vaguely seen!
Upon seeing this, Qiankun Daoist's eyes instantly flashed with the wild joy and urgency of someone who had survived a calamity!
He dared not pause or hesitate for even a fraction of a second!
He burned the laws of space around him to their extreme, pouring all his remaining magical power into his escape technique, while simultaneously activating the already dimmed and spiritually damaged Qiankun Cauldron to protect his vital points.
His figure transformed into an almost invisible, distorted, and blurry stream of spatial light, like a stray dog, desperately and recklessly fleeing outwards along the fleeting, rapidly healing crack!
In order to seize this only chance of survival, he did not hesitate to temporarily sever his deeper connection with the Qiankun Cauldron, allowing this innate treasure, which had accompanied him for countless eons and whose origin was now severely damaged, to completely conceal its spiritual light after completing this final strike, and fall like a piece of stubborn iron towards the shattered earth below!
When Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun saw that Qiankun Daoist had sacrificed such a terrible price, detonating part of the Qiankun Cauldron's essence to forcibly tear apart the seal, and then turning into a stream of light to escape into the distance, they instantly disappeared into the horizon, leaving only the rapidly dissipating spatial fluctuations.
The two exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of regret in each other's eyes, but more so a calm assessment.
Zhen Yuanzi raised his hand and took the Qiankun Cauldron, which had fallen to the mortal world and whose spiritual light had faded, into his hand.
Although this treasure is damaged, it is still an innate treasure in essence, and its value is immeasurable.
He sensed the faint resistance emanating from the Qiankun Cauldron and the severe damage to its origin, knowing that this treasure would be difficult to restore to its former state in a short time, and even more so, it could not be easily refined.
He gazed in the direction where the Daoist Qiankun had disappeared, his gaze deep and unfathomable. Hongyun came to his side and said, "Brother Daoist, that fellow ran away decisively and ruthlessly, even sacrificing his life-bound treasure in such a way."
Zhen Yuanzi nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "His origins are those of a Chaos Demon God, and his methods of self-preservation are indeed extraordinary. He burned his own essence and sacrificed the Qiankun Cauldron to achieve the ultimate speed of escape, and his direction is difficult to discern, while his aura is concealed."
If we forcefully pursue them, we may not be able to catch up immediately, and we might even venture into unknown and dangerous territory, or introduce other unforeseen circumstances.
Hongyun nodded in agreement: "That's right, we shouldn't pursue a cornered enemy. Besides, Huoyun Cave has only recently been established and needs to be consolidated. We've already achieved a great victory by severely injuring him and seizing his treasure. After this battle, he probably won't dare to provoke us again for a while."
Both were decisive individuals who understood the importance of knowing when to stop.
Now that the main objectives of severely damaging the powerful enemy and protecting the cave have been achieved, there is no need to pursue anything futile and potentially causing further complications.
The most important thing right now is to digest what we have gained, consolidate the Fire Cloud Cave, and deal with the damaged innate treasure.
Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun then pressed their escape light and returned to the ravaged foot of Buzhou Mountain to clean up the mess. At the same time, they developed a strong interest in and pondered the Qiankun Cauldron that had fallen into their hands.
A sudden battle has come to an end, but the aftermath and consequences it has triggered have only just begun.
