784 Cauldron

A monstrous black fog swept out from the bottom of the altar and spreadoutwards. An unusually dark, cold and evil aura scattered around.

“What is it?”

Ling Qingzhu’s eyes were grave as she watched the black fog spread. The darkcold evilness within it caused her expression to change involuntarily. Thatevilness was something that she had never encountered before…

She was also aware that some special cultivation methods would cause such afluctuation to appear. Compared to this however, there was an inherentdifference. This fluctuation appeared to be completely out of tune with thisworld. Moreover, it seemed to be attempting to completely remove any form oflife in this world…

“The main culprit behind the ancient great world war… from the looks of it, itwas not completely destroyed back then, and this fellow was sealed here.Currently, it is trying to make use of this opportunity to escape.” Lin Dong’seyes were grim as he spoke.

“The main culprit behind the ancient great world war…”

Ling Qingzhu knitted her brows and softly asked, “What should we do now?”

Lin Dong laughed bitterly. How would he know what to do? This creature was notsomething that they could deal with…

“What are they planning to do?” Lin Dong suddenly heard Ling Qingzhu startledvoice while he was laughing bitterly. He hurriedly lifted his head and saw theYuan Cang trio approaching the monstrous black fog.

As they approached, majestic Yuan Power ferociously swept out from withintheir bodies. After which, it transformed into a triangular shaped lightcurtain that enveloped the black fog. From the looks of it, they were thinkingof capturing the black fog creature.

“Idiots!”

Lin Dong’s expression immediately changed drastically when he saw this scene.He directly grabbed Ling Qingzhu’s wrist and suddenly withdrew explosively.

While the Lin Dong duo was withdrawing, the triangular light curtain in thesky had already slammed heavily onto the monstrous black fog.

“Tsk tsk, even ants like you actually dare to attack this general? You areindeed despicable creatures!”

The black fog surged as an unusually deafening strange evil laughter wasimmediately emitted. The black fog cleared and the three faces of thetriangular light curtain, which contained powerful Yuan Power, emitted asizzling sound and disappeared the moment it touched the black fog. It had noeffect at all.

The Yuan Cang trio’s expressions underwent some changes when they saw thattheir attack was completely useless against this strange creature. Soon after,their bodies hurriedly shot backwards.

“*Sneer*!”

While they shot backwards, a large hand made of black fog from the black fogcreature immediately grabbed at the three of them.

Bang bang!

Majestic Yuan Power hurriedly whistled out when the three of them saw this.However, their attacks were automatically eroded and annihilated the momentthey touched the large black fog hand. It looked as if their attacks werecompletely ineffective against it.

Lin Dong, who had withdrawn to a distance, had a cold and indifferentexpression as he watched the three miserable figures being attacked by theblack fog creature. It was their own fault for getting into this mess.

“Release your hand.”

A cold yet soft voice was suddenly emitted from beside Lin Dong. Only then didhe discover that he was still tightly grabbing Ling Qingzhu’s wrist.Immediately, he let out a soft cough and casually released his hand.

“This creature seems to be extremely difficult to deal with.” Ling Qingzhugently rubbed at the spot where Lin Dong had forcefully grabbed earlier. Hervoice was still cold. However, her eyes no longer looked at Lin Dong when shespoke. There was a slight ripple in her tone.

Lin Dong nodded slightly. Immediately, he frowned tightly. Although it wasquite pleasing to see the Yuan Cang trio being bullied by the black fogcreature, he was also aware that once this thing refocused its attention, itwould not let off anyone who was trapped in this place. At that time, it wouldbe impossible for them to stop this creature with their strength…

“Oh?”

The eyes of the tightly frowning Lin Dong suddenly became focused as heabruptly raised his head and looked at the bright red sky. An extremelypowerful fluctuation had suddenly emerged from that spot.

Ling Qingzhu also raised her head when she saw Lin Dong’s action. She softlycommented, “There’s a something going on over there…”

Boom!

An extremely melodious ‘gong’ sound suddenly spread from the bright red skyafter her voice sounded out.

A bright red ripple began to sweep downwards from the vast sky at a speedvisible to the naked eye following the ‘gong’ sound. As the ripple travelled,Lin Dong immediately discovered that the distortions in the area had actuallybegan to disappear. Soon after, Lin Dong sensed countless powerful aurasemerging in this domain.

“The formation appears to have been lifted…” Ling Qingzhu said. Clearly, shehad also sensed the emergence of those auras. These auras were likely fromthose who had entered the Burning Sky Ancient Stash with them.

Lin Dong nodded, but his eyes fixed onto the sky. The space there fluctuatedand became distorted. In the end, an indescribably large cauldron seemed tohave appeared, while they… seemed to be within this cauldron.

“It seems like… we were not trapped in the Burning Sky Array. Instead, we havebeen trapped in this object’s stomach…” Lin Dong pointed at the enormouscauldron that had appeared in the distorted space. Soon after, he inhaled adeep breath of air. His eyes were a little shocked. The Burning Sky AncientStash that they had barged into was actually a cauldron….

“It should be an extremely powerful Pure Yuan treasure.” Ling Qingzhu’s eyeswere grave as she looked at the inner wall of the cauldron within the distortedspace and softly commented.

Lin Dong’s eyes focused. He had seen the Heavenly Phoenix Zither in YingHuanhuan’s hands. Though it was extremely powerful, this cauldron which couldactually create its own realm and swallow all of them into it, was clearly evenmore powerful. Such a treasure should be considered top tier even amongst PureYuan treasures, right?

Boom!

At this moment, a monstrous bright red light suddenly swept down from thecauldron that was so large that it seemingly covered the entire realm.Moreover, the direction that it was surging towards was where they were located.

The bright red light directly formed an extremely huge light array in the skywhen it swept downwards. Soon after, a curtain of light descended and envelopedthe black fog creature.

Bang bang bang!

The black fog struck at the light array. However, it was no longer able toeasily break free like before. However, that enormous force still shook thelight array until it trembled continuously.

“This cauldron seems to be controlled by someone?” A surprised lookinvoluntarily flashed across Lin Dong’s eyes as he spoke after seeing thisscene.

Ling Qingzhu nodded slightly. Her eyes were filled with surprise. It waslikely that the strange situations unfolding before her caused even her to havedifficulty maintaining a cool and collected state of mind.

“Damned old ghost Fen Tian. You have already died yet you still continue tolinger around!”

The black fog creature struck wildly against the light array. A deafeningsound rumbled and spread over the area.

“It seems like the light array will not be able to hold for long…”

Lin Dong watched the light array that was turning increasingly unsteady fromthe strikes. His heart involuntarily pounded. If this array was broken and thatcreature broke free, there was no telling just how many people would die.

Buzz buzz!

While Lin Dong worried, a bright red fluctuation suddenly unfurled in the sky.This ripple had just spread when Lin Dong suddenly sensed a great resistanceemitted from the space around him. Immediately, the space behind him began totwist and was actually trying to suck him in.

“What is going on?” Ling Qingzhu asked with a frown because of this scene.

Lin Dong’s eyes flickered for a moment. He quickly said, “Do not resist. Itseems like the cauldron wants to spit us out.”

Lin Dong gave up all resistance after his voice sounded out. He allowed therejection force from the space to pull his body into the distorted space behindhim. After which, everything quickly turned dark.

This darkness did not last for long before Lin Dong sensed a bright red lightshooting into his eyes. His vision was quickly restored. The scene thatappeared before his eyes was no longer a crimson land. Instead, it was a brightred mountain range. At this moment, a bright red cauldron that was thousands offeet in size quietly stood in the air above these mountains, while wave afterwave of scorching ripples were continuously emitted by it.

Lin Dong stared at the bright red cauldron that was suspended in the sky,before he exhaled gently. He knew that the place they had been trapped inearlier should be the stomach of this cauldron that was now before them.
