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

Chapter 463 Unshakeable

"Boom!"

A power surge, far more terrifying than when Lü Hong had tried before, suddenly erupted, instantly turning the rocks beneath her feet into dust.

It can be said that if this place were not protected by a mysterious field, the entire stone mountain would probably have collapsed.

At this moment, the purple aura surrounding the Purple Sun Celestial Venerable seemed to contain the illusion of stars bursting and the beginning of the universe emerging. It was a manifestation of the ultimate sublimation of the supreme Dao Seed he had fused with and his own divine power.

"Wake it up for me!"

Zi Ri Tianjun roared, veins bulging on his forehead, pushing his physical strength and divine power of the Dao Seed to their limits.

He suddenly exerted force with both arms upwards, trying to forcefully lift the ancient cauldron that symbolized the ultimate power!
"boom!"

With a loud bang, the entire mountaintop seemed to tremble, the void twisted and emitted an unbearable hum, and fine black cracks spread out like a spider web.

Unfortunately, even though he used all his strength, and even his bones creaked, it was still useless!

The cauldron remained completely still, never moving an inch from its original position.

"Get up again!"

With another roar, a shimmering purple seed emerged from the body of the Purple Sun Celestial Venerable, transforming into a wisp of primordial purple energy that coiled around the cauldron, attempting to lift it up.

As a result, something that sent chills down everyone's spine happened.

"puff!"

The moment the purple aura containing the essence of the primordial Dao struck the cauldron, it shattered like fragile glass. The Purple Sun Heavenly Lord himself was as if struck head-on by an ancient demonic mountain, spitting out a mouthful of blood before being sent flying.

"・・・"

The mountaintop was deathly silent; even the sound of the wind seemed to have frozen.

All the prodigies who witnessed this scene, whether it was Lan Xian, Da Xu Tuo, the witch, or Cao Yu Sheng, all had their pupils shrink, gasped, and felt a surge of shock in their hearts.

terrible!

Even someone as powerful as the Purple Sun Heavenly Lord, who had fused with the perfect seed, suffered such a terrifying backlash after attempting to forcefully shake this cauldron with the laws of the Dao, and was instantly severely injured!
Clearly, even if this Yuanmu Cauldron is just a projection, the power and counter-force it contains are beyond the comprehension of cultivators at the Void Dao Realm.

It seems to possess its own will, recognizing only pure power. Any attempt to suppress it through trickery will provoke a thunderous counterattack!

"Cough...I...failed!"

Zi Ri Tianjun struggled to raise his head, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. His voice was hoarse, filled with deep resentment and a hint of undisguised horror.

He slowly retreated into the crowd, each step heavy and deliberate. His earlier high spirits had vanished, replaced by weakness and frustration from his serious injuries.

He was truly unwilling to accept this, but he also knew in his heart that he was powerless to change the situation with the cauldron.

Everyone was silent.

The tragic state of the Purple Sun Celestial Venerable was like a bucket of ice water poured on the hearts of many eager individuals. Even the Dao principles of the Perfect Seed were instantly shattered and backfired. The "rules" of this cauldron were more stringent and dangerous than imagined.

For a moment, the atmosphere atop the mountain was so heavy it was almost suffocating.

The group, who had been eager to try, all calmed down. Even when the old soldier asked again who wanted to go up, no one answered.

"I'll try!"

After a long while, Lan Xian spoke up and stepped forward to try, but the result was the same. No matter how hard she tried, her face turned pale, she could not make the cauldron move even a little.

Subsequently, Cao Yusheng and the others, not believing in such superstitions, all stepped forward to try, and without exception, they all returned empty-handed.

The Primordial Mother Cauldron was like an eternal mountain rooted on the summit. No matter what people did, it remained as stable as Mount Tai. Only the slightly trembling body of the cauldron silently told of its weight.

Until a Buddhist chant rang out. "Amitabha, this humble monk will give it a try."

It is the Great Sudatta!

He appeared solemn and dignified, his body radiating Buddhist light, as he walked step by step toward the Primordial Mother Cauldron.

Unlike the fierce and domineering Zi Ri Tian Jun, Da Xu Tuo's movements appeared gentle yet firm. With each step he took, golden lotus flowers bloomed beneath his feet, as if the Buddha were walking among mortals.

He gripped the tripod legs with both hands, and his body radiated intense golden light. His skin was as if it had been cast in gold, and his entire body seemed to have transformed into an indestructible form.

The next moment, something unexpected happened: the Primordial Mother Cauldron spoke.

This is the first time in a long time!

But that was the end of it, because just making it make a sound had already made Da Sudatta's face turn red, and fine beads of sweat even seeped from his forehead. In the end, he had no choice but to let go and step back, saying with a wry smile, "This humble monk is not strong enough."

The crowd gasped in astonishment; this was the closest they had ever come to success!

"Hahaha!"

Not far away, the little horned ant, holding its forelegs, laughed loudly: "You can't even lift the cauldron that my clan used to hone our strength in our youth, yet you want to peek at the core inheritance? What a joke!"

Its mockery made many geniuses look ugly, yet they could not refute it, because facts speak louder than words, and indeed none of them could shake this cauldron.

Cao Yusheng was astonished and couldn't help but whisper to Shi An, "Fourth Brother, the things from this little ant's house are too abnormal. Who can lift them?"

Shi An's gaze remained calm, showing no sign of being affected by the defeat. Instead, he turned to Shi Hao, who had been silent beside him, and smiled, "Xiao Hao, why don't you give it a try?"

Upon hearing Shi An's voice, Shi Hao, who was already eager to try, was immediately filled with fighting spirit: "That's exactly what I'm thinking!"

But to his surprise, before he could even set off, another young supreme being appeared on the other side.

It's Qi Gu!
A young Taoist priest from the Holy Academy!
He stepped forward directly and forcefully shook the cauldron.

"Boom!"

To everyone's surprise, this silent Taoist priest was no weaker than Da Xutuo, and he also made the Yuanmu Cauldron make a sound.

However, that was all they did was voice their opinions.

Qi Gu sighed, walked aside, and admitted defeat.

Then, two more young supreme beings stepped forward, but they still failed; no one could lift the tripod.

The scene suddenly became a bit quiet, and everyone fell silent.

Is there no one in the world who can compare to the Skyhorn Ant in its youth?
If that's the case, wouldn't it mean that the present world is far inferior to the ancient immortals and will perish even faster?

Not to mention the others, even the young supreme beings remained silent.

Perhaps sensing the emotions of the crowd, and perhaps knowing that such a blow to everyone would be bad for the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the leader actually spoke up to comfort them: "Don't be too discouraged. Strength does not represent everything, nor can it be used as a measure of combat strength."

"Just like a true dragon, its strength in its youth was no match for that of a horned ant. Do you think it is inferior to a horned ant?"

It must be said that these words did indeed lift the spirits of the previously dejected crowd considerably.

Indeed, even a powerful dragon cannot compete with a horned ant in strength. So what if they are inferior? Does that mean they are weak?
Seeing that everyone had recovered, the man asked again, "Does anyone else want to try?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes turned to Shi Hao, as he was perhaps the only one left who still had a fighting chance.

As for Shi An...
In their subconscious, they have already categorized it as outside the realm of young people.
