Perfect: I am Shi An from Shicun, and I am Huang’s brother!

Chapter 461 Yuan Mu Ding

On the other side, the little horned ant hovered in the air, looking smug: "Hmph, this is what happens when you covet my precious blood!"

Its small body seems to contain boundless power, making it a force to be reckoned with.

"Little guy, you went a bit too far."

Shi An frowned slightly. Although he knew that this little horned ant was powerful, he did not expect it to be so ruthless.

He flashed to Cao Yusheng's side and gently waved his hand, a soft force lifting Cao Yusheng out of the mountain.

At the same time, a vibrant, chaotic green light flowed from Shi An's fingertips and entered Cao Yusheng's body.

In an instant, his hideous wounds and broken bones were completely healed, and his disordered breathing quickly calmed down.

"Fourth Brother, I..."

Cao Yusheng stood in front of Shi An, his face filled with shame.

He knew he had failed this time, and failed completely, without even the power to fight back.

"It's alright, you should rest for a bit."

Shi An simply patted his shoulder lightly, indicating that he didn't need to worry about it.

Then, he turned to look at the little ant, his gaze calm yet carrying an indescribable majesty: "Little guy, my brother was just joking, why are you so angry?"

The little ant's golden eyes gleamed; it could sense the unfathomable aura emanating from Shi An, which made it secretly wary.

Especially his instantaneous healing of Cao Yusheng made its little brows furrow.

That power, gentle yet unfathomable, heightened its innate vigilance once again.

Although it is arrogant, it is not stupid. This human is definitely many times more dangerous than that fat man.

However, being a member of the Horned Ant clan, it possesses its own pride and would not easily submit!
"Hmph, a joke? He covets my precious blood; this is no joke!"

The little ant, barely maintaining its arrogance, let out a cold snort, its childish voice tinged with stubbornness: "Besides, I have already shown mercy. If I had gone all out, this fat man would have been reduced to a bloody mist long ago!"

Even so, its little hand unconsciously clenched tighter, clearly showing its extreme fear of Shi An.

"Tap! Tap! Tap..."

Just then, footsteps approached; it was the city guards coming over.

The black armor, with its mysterious and cold luster, and the heavy weapons they wielded, made them look like several stern and unsmiling war gods.

"Please, young friend, show mercy and don't let things get out of hand."

"Furthermore, although the core inheritance here is only left to the descendants of two kings with the purest bloodline of the Immortal Ancient, there are other opportunities for you to choose from."

The armored creature at the head stopped, its gaze sweeping over the little horned ant before finally settling on Shi An. Its voice was still deep, mechanical, and monotonous, yet it carried an unquestionable quality, as if stating some kind of rule.

Upon hearing that the core inheritance would be left to only two descendants of kings with the purest bloodlines of the Immortal Ancients, everyone except Shi An couldn't help but look at the Qilin cub being held in the arms of the Taiyin Jade Rabbit, as well as the little golden ant, and felt a pang of envy.

"Seniors, are you immortals?"

Suddenly, a young supreme being beside Mahasthamaprapta spoke up, wanting to know the answer.

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent, eager to know the answer.

To everyone's disappointment, the leader replied, "We are just a few veterans."

"Back then, the blood waves surged to the sky, the world was destroyed, and all the strong perished in battle. We only managed to struggle to this point with our remaining wills, and in the end, we turned ourselves into puppets to guard this place in our final moments." Hearing that the few were not immortals, many people were somewhat disappointed, but when they heard that the world had been destroyed, and that the few were still guarding this place with their remaining wills, they were all deeply moved.

In a daze, they seemed to see the scene of the past: the sound of killing shook the heavens, the corpses piled up like mountains, the blood flowed like rivers, and all races were doomed and heading towards their end.

Under such circumstances, several veterans dragged their crippled bodies here, just to preserve the flame of revolution.

They are undoubtedly admirable, yet they also evoke a sense of pity.

Even so, this is not the reason why the other party did not give them a chance, and they were unwilling to give up.

Then, Lan Xian spoke up, trying her best to persuade the others: "Seniors, the ancient immortal bloodline is certainly important, but that does not mean that later generations are inferior to our predecessors. The main force in future battles will still come from among us. How can you be prejudiced and cut off the most important inheritance from us?"

Lan Xian's words were clear and powerful, echoing in the empty city and expressing the sentiments of many of the geniuses present.

They are all outstanding individuals, believing themselves to be no less capable than others. How could they be refused entry into the core inheritance simply because of their bloodline?
The city guards remained silent, their gazes beneath their armor deep and unfathomable, as if they were weighing their options.

After a long silence, the armored creature at the head of the group slowly spoke, its voice still low and deep: "Alright, then I'll give you a chance."

"If anyone can lift that Primordial Mother Cauldron, we will acknowledge him!"

As he spoke, he suddenly raised the black halberd in his hand and pointed it in a certain direction.

The group looked in that direction and saw a stone mountain, from which immortal energy was constantly rising, clearly indicating that it was an extremely important cave.

At the top of that mountain, there is a cauldron.

The cauldron was not large, only three feet tall, and it sat there, exuding an ancient and rustic aura.

"The Primordial Mother Cauldron... I think I've heard of it..."

Looking at the cauldron, Lan Xian couldn't help but frown.

She remembered hearing it somewhere before, but couldn't recall where.

But just then, Da Su Tuo, who was standing nearby, explained: "According to records, there was once an unparalleled heavy weapon in the ancient times. Its weight was unimaginable. Ordinary people would be blown away if they even touched it, let alone wielded it, because it was the weapon of the Heavenly Horned Ant."

"And the name of that supreme artifact is—the Primordial Mother Cauldron!"

"It's that?!"

After hearing Daxutuo's explanation, everyone gasped and their gazes returned to the seemingly ancient Yuanmu Cauldron, which exuded a terrifying aura.

The weapon of the Heavenly Horned Ant—the Primordial Mother Cauldron!

That is a legendary supreme artifact. It once fought alongside the Heavenly Horned Ant, one of the Ten Fiends, in the Immortal Ancient Era. It drank the blood of the immortals, and its weight cannot be measured by ordinary standards!
Legend has it that those who are not at the pinnacle of strength cannot even budge it, and may even be pulverized by its naturally emanating force field!

Its weapons are not something that ordinary people can shake.

However, in an instant, everyone's gaze became intense.

This is not only a test of opportunity, but also a test of qualifications, proving that future generations of geniuses are no less capable than those of the ancient immortals!

"I'll come first!"

One of the young supreme beings could not contain himself and rushed out first.

She swayed gracefully, her figure beautiful, surrounded by floating leaves, full of vitality.

In addition, some seeds floated in the air, took root, and grew into divine vines, precious trees, and so on, surrounding her in the center and silently protecting her.
