The world buzzed and the Spiritual Energy in the air became turbulent as the giant cauldron appeared. The aura of the Great Dao flowed through every corner of the Profound Heaven Temple. At this moment, all the Pseudo Emperors in the hall, including the Demon Race’s Half-Saint, couldn’t help feeling as if an invisible door had been pushed open in front of them. Inside this door was the pinnacle of the Martial Dao they had pursued their entire lives, something that was worth paying any price, even their lives!
Inside the Profound Heaven Palace, figures appeared one after another, transforming into streaks of light that flew towards the giant cauldron.
“Void Heavenly Cauldron!” Gan Li couldn’t help swallowing a mouthful of saliva. Only now did he confirm that the information he had received from the Star Boundary was correct. This Profound Heaven Temple really did have the Void Heavenly Cauldron, and the key to becoming a Great Emperor was inside the Void Heavenly Cauldron. Although he was tempted to rush over to the giant cauldron to take a look, the surrounding Demon Race Half-Saints were all glaring at him, so he didn’t dare act rashly.
On the other side, Jia Long stared at the giant cauldron for a moment before turning his head to look at a headless corpse not far away. It was the man surnamed Feng who had been killed because of Cang Mo. Although he had only been dead for a moment, his head and headless corpse had already become shriveled.
A trace of contemplation flashed across his brown eyes. Was this the final step?
Compared to the other Demon Race Half-Saints, Jia Long had a better understanding of the situation in the Profound Heaven Temple. On the first day of their journey into the Profound Heaven Temple, Xue Li had summoned him to Star Soul Palace for an entire night. No one knew what Xue Li had told him that night, only Jia Long himself knew.
The other Demon Race Half-Saints only knew that after entering the Profound Heaven Temple, they had to kill as many of the Star Boundary's Pseudo Emperors as possible, but there was no need to specifically instruct them to do so. Even if the Human and Demon Race were to encounter each other outside, they wouldn’t turn a blind eye to it, not to mention that this was the Profound Heaven Temple that was vying for supremacy.
Only Jia Long knew that the key to becoming a Great Emperor in this World Secret Realm was related to death and slaughter. Only when there was enough blood here would the key be revealed.
Feng’s death was undoubtedly the straw that broke the camel’s back.
Now that the giant cauldron had been revealed and the final moment of the Great Dao struggle had arrived, all of his patience and schemes would be useless. If he wanted to obtain the only opportunity, he could only rely on his own ability.
With a loud bang and a violent burst of energy, everyone was shocked and turned their heads to look towards the source of the sound, only to see Yang Kai’s fierce expression as his massive body flew towards Cang Mo. The Azure Dragon Spear swept out and Cang Mo was sent flying, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
When the giant cauldron appeared just now, everyone’s attention was drawn to it, and Yang Kai was no exception. However, Yang Kai recovered a bit faster even if he was unable to completely resist it.
As the violent energy surged towards him, his five viscera and six bowels began to violently churn as he silently cursed the little bastard’s strength. This wasn’t surprising, with his hundred zhang long dragon body, how could his strength be weak?
What made Cang Mo even more desperate was that after being swept by Yang Kai, he actually flew straight towards Jia Long. Even if he tried his best to use his Emperor Qi to stabilize himself, it was still difficult.
For a time, sorrow filled his heart. He only knew that this time, he really would not be able to escape this calamity. Even Yang Kai wanted him dead, how could Jia Long allow him to live? Now, he was surrounded by enemies on all sides, with no chance of survival.
Seeing Yang Kai thrust his spear forward again, Cang Mo’s vision was filled with the figure of a giant Azure Dragon, his eyes filled with despair.
However, at this moment, a figure suddenly flew past him, and soon after, a behemoth appeared in front of him. This behemoth's entire body was emitting an extremely foul stench as large chunks of rotten flesh fell from its body and fell to the ground, leaving behind a deep pit.
Who else could this be but Jia Long?
At this moment, Jia Long had used some kind of Secret Technique, causing his body to suddenly expand several dozen zhangs. Although it was not comparable to Yang Kai’s hundred zhang long dragon body, it was still quite extraordinary.
A torrential evil aura burst out from his body and met Yang Kai’s attack, instantly creating a fierce battle.
Seeing this scene, Cang Mo was both surprised and overjoyed. He was surprised that Jia Long didn’t take the opportunity to kill him, instead choosing to avoid him to fight Yang Kai. He was also happy that no one had the time to bother with him.
Without stopping, he borrowed the power of Yang Kai's spear strike and quickly flew away. Even after flying a great distance, he could still hear the rumbling sounds behind him and Yang Kai’s angry roar.
After surviving this calamity, Cang Mo discovered that his clothes were drenched in sweat. Just now, he really thought he was going to die here, but who would have thought that at the last moment, there would be a light at the end of the tunnel! However, after thinking about it for a moment, he realized that Jia Long’s decision to let him off so easily probably had some kind intentions, so the joy on his face receded and was replaced with a gloomy look.
However, thinking about these things now was useless. The most important thing now was to hurry to the place where the giant cauldron had appeared. Such a phenomenon was undoubtedly a kind of guidance. Right now, all the surviving Half-Saint and Pseudo Emperor cultivators in Profound Heaven Temple were gathered there. If he was late, he was afraid that others would beat him to it. With this thought in mind, Cang Mo discarded all the distracting thoughts in his mind and stuffed a few Spirit Pills into his mouth to restore himself.
In the battle just now, he hadn’t suffered any injuries. Although Yang Kai’s attacks were terrifying, he wasn’t a pushover. Although he had vomited a few mouthfuls of blood, it wasn’t a big deal and didn’t affect his future struggle for the Great Dao.
At this moment, Yang Kai and Jia Long each had three helpers by their side, each of them looking for a target to fight alone.
Seeing that Cang Mo was able to escape, Yang Kai’s anger erupted like a volcano, as if he wanted to burn this world to ashes. His attacks were merciless, his Space Ability, Divine Soul Attack, Dragon Race Secret Technique, and all sorts of other methods were unleashed, causing Jia Long to be overwhelmed.
However, in the end, Li Wuyi was the one who made Yang Kai pay more attention to this guy. This guy was indeed stronger than the other Demon Race Half-Saints. No matter what methods he used, he was able to neutralize them at the most critical moment. Even if Yang Kai wanted to leave some wounds on him, he couldn’t.
Jia Long obviously knew that the Martial Dao True Intent was treacherous and difficult to deal with, so no matter what he did, he could not allow Yang Kai to harm him. As such, the battle between the two seemed somewhat comical.
Jia Long’s cultivation was obviously higher than Yang Kai’s, but when they fought, it was as if he was being suppressed by Yang Kai. However, he was like a sturdy wooden boat cutting through the raging waves of the sea, seemingly in danger of being overturned at any moment, but in reality, everything was under his control.
After fighting for a while, Jia Long suddenly let out a loud laugh, “Let’s end this here. No matter what, you won’t be able to do anything to me.”
As he spoke, he leapt out of the battle ring.
Yang Kai held his spear with one hand, his eyes cold. Although he was intent on killing his enemies, he knew that he was right. His cultivation was his biggest weakness right now. Facing a Demon Race Half-Saint like Jia Long, it was difficult for him to display his full strength. Continuing to fight would only be a waste of time.
However, Jia Long’s actions made it seem like he was intentionally trying to rescue Cang Mo. He could have taken the opportunity to seriously injure or even kill Cang Mo, but instead, he had let him go and instead tried to entangle Yang Kai so that he wouldn’t be able to escape. His intentions were obvious to anyone who wasn’t blind.
At this time, Cang Mo had probably run off somewhere, so there was no need for him to continue.
What’s more, the Void Heavenly Cauldron had already been revealed, so who would be in the mood to compete here?
So when Jia Long retreated, Yang Kai did not stop him.
As they retreated, the other three battlefields also stopped.
In the blink of an eye, the storm subsided.
Eight pairs of eyes collided in the air, sparks flying.
Jia Long grinned maliciously and said, “The key to the struggle for the Great Dao has been revealed, but… this is only the beginning. Yang Kai, I hope you have the ability to live until the end. This King wants to personally kill you.”
“Don’t worry, you’ll only die in my hands,” Yang Kai coldly snorted.
Jia Long said, “Then I’ll take my leave first. See you later!”
With a sweep of his Corpse Qi, the other three Half-Saints were drawn into it and transformed into a foul substance that flew towards the giant cauldron.
“Let’s go too!” Yang Kai’s massive figure rapidly shrank and gradually transformed into his true form. Under the surge of the Space Laws, Yang Yan and the others were wrapped up and disappeared in a flash.
Seeing this, Gan Li secretly let out a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he also felt a bit of self-mockery, feeling like he was being too petty.
Just now, he had been worried about what he would do if he asked them to enter the Mysterious Small World again. He had been willing to stay in the Mysterious Small World because there was strength in numbers, so it was safer to join forces. Now that the Void Heavenly Cauldron had been revealed, if he were to enter the Mysterious Small World again, it would be equivalent to handing everything over to Yang Kai.
If Yang Kai did not let him leave the Mysterious Small World, he would definitely lose his arm in this Great Dao struggle, something he was unwilling to do no matter what.
Now, it seemed that Yang Kai’s actions were quite open and aboveboard. He had obviously considered this point, so he didn’t allow them to enter the Mysterious Small World, instead spending even more strength to bring them along.
Looking up, Gan Li’s heart was burning hot. Now, the key to the struggle for the Great Dao had been revealed, but no one knew what to do next, let alone what was inside the giant cauldron.
Ever since the giant cauldron had been revealed, it had been madly absorbing the World Secret Realm’s Spiritual Energy, and the violent waves of energy it generated never ceased. As it absorbed the Spiritual Energy, the giant cauldron grew larger, and at this moment, it was already standing tall and upright.
At a certain moment, the giant cauldron suddenly calmed down and the complicated patterns around it began to glow brilliantly, causing the aura of the Great Dao in the World Secret Realm to become even denser.
Whether it was the Demon Race’s Half-Saint or the Human Race’s Pseudo Emperor, all of them wore thoughtful expressions at this moment, their understanding of the mysteries of the Great Dao growing deeper.
