Chapter 586 The Source of the Black Mountain Calamity
"Those are... the Purple Star Cauldron and the Emperor's Seal?!" Li Yunshang's expression changed drastically upon seeing the two magical treasures. Her eyes widened as she stared at them, uttering words of disbelief.

Ziwei Ding?
The Emperor's Seal?!

Lu Shiming and A Meng were also astonished. They both knew the origin of this magical artifact, but they felt that this matter was too bizarre.

"It seems Her Highness understands what this means," said Morning Rooster. "Zunlong ordered me to bring these two magical treasures; he has his reasons. Does Your Highness still intend to struggle?"

"Impossible, this is impossible. How could my father entrust these two items to you!" Li Yunshang couldn't accept this. She never expected that her closest relative would use the most ruthless means against her. "It can't be like this, it can't be."

“That is the truth, Your Highness. You should face the present situation.” As Chenji spoke, he tossed the purple cauldron aside.

The purple cauldron transformed into a gigantic cauldron hundreds of feet tall, spinning in mid-air.

Purple energy rose from within, resembling countless tentacles, encircling the crimson dragon and binding it tightly. The crimson dragon struggled in vain, roaring towards the sky.

The flying sword struck the giant cauldron with a thud, but the cauldron remained unmoved, blocking the flying sword.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Wen recognized the Purple Cauldron. This magic weapon was no ordinary artifact; it could instantly suppress his two Heavenly Kings.

Then the morning rooster raised the Emperor's Seal and smashed it down on the Heavenly King Dhritarashtra.

The Heavenly King Dhritarashtra felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him, and his pipa creaked. The ground beneath his feet cracked open, spreading out in all directions like a spider web. Yellow light gathered and formed characters, firmly attaching themselves to the top of the Heavenly King Dhritarashtra's head.

"What a treasure!" Jiang Wen exclaimed in admiration as he watched the morning rooster suppress his three Heavenly Kings in an instant.

These two magical treasures probably have an unusual origin.

His Four Heavenly Kings were formed from merit, and although he used far less merit than before, they were still beyond the reach of ordinary magic treasures. Even when facing Dao Palace cultivators, the Four Heavenly Kings were not inferior.

He had hoped to get help from the Heavenly King, but now he was intimidated by the venerable one of the worshippers. Just as he was thinking of a way to escape, Jiang Wen sensed a chilling feeling coming from a distant place. Although this feeling was faint, it penetrated to the bone.

He recognized this feeling when he came to Montenegro.

"Could it be..." Jiang Wen had a bad feeling. His expression changed slightly, and he no longer intended to hold back.

Four flying swords soared into the sky, transforming into the Four Symbols, sacred beasts.

The sword formation descended, protecting the four people within it. Then, the Five Elements Spirit Pearls hovered above their heads, swirling and converging to form a five-star array.

Brilliance shines through, a dazzling display of light.

When the four symbols and five elements combine, they form a battle formation of the four symbols and five elements.

Jiang Wen then made a hand gesture and chanted, "Heavenly King, help me!"

"We obey!" the Heavenly Kings shouted in unison.

Each radiated its own light, as if a deity had descended to earth. When they merged into the Four Symbols Sword Formation, their divine brilliance was truly dazzling.

Chen Ji was greatly surprised by what she saw. She frowned and looked down at the hundred-zhang-long array, feeling that it was extremely troublesome. This array was incredibly profound, with countless magical forms arising within it. Even with her extensive knowledge and wide reading of the classics of various immortal sects, she had never seen such a wondrous method.

With a wave of his hand, the scroll rose another hundred feet. Like a massive blanket covering the sky, it surged towards the formation with the combined power of wind, thunder, water, and fire.

Although the wind, thunder, water, and fire were fierce, they only created ripples when they collided with the formation. The great formation remained completely still, unaffected by any calamities.

"What a magnificent formation!" exclaimed Morning Rooster. She raised the Emperor's Seal, gathering her magical power. The Emperor's Seal shone brightly, its golden light illuminating all rivers and lakes, and faintly, one could hear the roar of a true dragon, a sound powerful enough to shake the very soul.

"go."

The Emperor's Seal fell and transformed into a massive seal hundreds of feet tall.

Carrying wind and thunder, it crashed down on the great formation.

The tremors were felt both inside and outside the formation, and the worshippers who were flying in the sky could not stand still and fell to the ground.

The earth split open into a hundred-mile-deep abyss, into which the river surged.

Countless plants turned to dust, and the once lush jungle became a huge crater hundreds of feet deep.

When the smoke and dust cleared, the formation within the crater remained unchanged. It was as if the earth-shattering attack had had no effect whatsoever, and even the Four Heavenly Kings outside the formation were unharmed. "What a magnificent formation!" Morning Rooster sighed again. "But I'll see how long you can hold out."

She summoned the Purple Star Cauldron and slammed it heavily onto the great formation.

The Purple Star Cauldron hovered above the great formation like a millstone, relentlessly extinguishing its brilliance.

Jiang Wen frowned as he looked at the Purple Star Cauldron, his expression extremely solemn. He remained silent, only refining the Heavenly Strike Sword above his head.

The people behind her looked quite worried, and Li Yunshang asked with concern, "Brother Jiang, are you alright?"

"It's alright." Jiang Wen shook his head, indicating that he was fine.

"This Purple Star Cauldron is the most precious treasure of our Li family, and the Heavenly Emperor's Seal is the national treasure of the Great Qian Dynasty," Li Yunshang explained the origins of the two magical artifacts. "I never imagined my father would bestow these two magical artifacts upon this person, and even use them to kill me..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wen raised an eyebrow, surprised that these two magical artifacts had such an origin.

"Are both of these magical artifacts the most precious treasures of the Li family?" he asked.

"Yes," Li Yunshang replied, suppressing her sadness. "The Ziwei Cauldron is a magical artifact forged by the Great Ancestor after he conquered the twenty-four states. It is said to have been forged by gathering the saints of the immortal sects. For the past ten thousand years, it has been tempered by collecting the fortune of the world. Even my master was wary of this artifact. As for the Heavenly Emperor's Seal, it is a national treasure, forged by the Great Ancestor using the treasure of Tai Cang. It can wield the power of the emperor and proclaim the will of heaven and humanity. I have never seen anyone use the Heavenly Emperor's Seal before. I never expected it to be controlled by the demons of the God Worship Society."

"If the spirit of the founding emperor were alive, he would surely blame us."

"So that's how it is." Jiang Wen understood. No wonder the Emperor's Seal could suppress his Heavenly King, it turns out it contained the Mandate of Heaven.

I never expected that the Li family would possess such a treasure. No wonder no one has dared to kill the Emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty for ten thousand years.

“Brother Jiang, if you can’t do it, then we’ll surrender. I’ll go and beg Father to let you go,” Li Yunshang said, her eyes brimming with tears.

"It's nothing, that's not what I'm worried about," Jiang Wen sighed, looking up at the sky.

In the far distance, a black crack gradually spread out.

"I'm afraid, it's too late."

Just as Jiang Wen thought this, a crisp cracking sound rang out the next moment.

The morning rooster, which was still grinding away at the great formation, looked back in surprise and saw that a hole had been torn open in the blue sky.

Everyone noticed it, and they couldn't help but gasp when they looked at the crack.

In the sky, through a dark crack, a scarlet eye was staring intently at everyone.

Both Chen Ji and Jiang Wen felt their hair stand on end. A chill from the depths of their soul swept through their bodies, and even their tongues felt numb.

"Heavens, heavens, there are monsters in the sky!" The old man wanted to scream, wanted to shout.

But he found that he couldn't shout it out no matter what he did.

His voice seemed muffled, his body seemed frozen. At this moment, even moving a finger was difficult.

Everything in the world seemed to be frozen in time, even the howling wind stopped at this moment.

Chen Ji's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and her mask slowly cracked open. Her pale face twitched, as if she were struggling.

Lu Shiming and the others in the formation were slightly better off; their legs trembled and they were barely able to stand.

Li Yunshang's teeth chattered and her lips turned pale as she looked at the upright Jiang Wen: "Brother Jiang, what, what is this?"

Jiang Wen stared at the crack in the sky, meeting the gaze of that eye. He remained silent for a long time before slowly saying, "That is the source of Black Mountain's calamity."

As soon as he finished speaking, endless black mud gushed out from the breach.

In the blink of an eye, endless black mud engulfed everything.
