Chapter 185 Righteous and Demonic Forces Join Forces at Douxing Palace

Elder Jia, his voice trembling, looked at the six Nascent Soul stage cultivators surrounding him and said, "You—you mustn't forget I'm an elder of the Star Palace! You can't act recklessly!"

"Hmph!" Qing Yi sneered, "If you hadn't meddled in our affairs, we naturally wouldn't have bothered with you. But your Star Palace is too unruly. You clearly agreed not to enter the inner palace, yet you still sneaked in. Since you've done this, don't blame us for joining forces to deal with you!"

"You old devil Qingyi—"

However, Jia Chen could not finish speaking, because Qing Yi and the others deeply resented what they had just done and were full of anger, which they were about to vent.

Qingyi took out the Azure Needle magic weapon, and strands of azure hair flew out, densely packed together.

A large mass of Xuan Yin demonic energy appeared in front of Ji Yin, condensing into a huge black hand that attacked.

Nangong Wan took out the ancient red jade tablet and released dozens of red runes to attack.

Mu Tengzi took out the willow branch magic weapon, and countless green threads flew out.

Tian Wuzi took out his short ruler magic weapon, which transformed into countless ruler shadows that flew out.

Lin He then took out a pair of fiery red flying swords, which belonged to some unlucky fellow, and pretended to attack.

Elder Jia was terrified by the sheer number of attacks coming at him. He was merely a Nascent Soul cultivator in the early stages, yet he had the misfortune of encountering such a powerful lineup.

Faced with the siege of six early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, even mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators like Manhuzi and Wan Tianming would have a hard time holding out, let alone him.

Elder Jia hurriedly took out the pair of magical treasures, the Guan Ri Sword and the ancient circular treasure, not for offense, but only for defense.

Soon, a barrage of attacks came one after another, engulfing him. A series of explosions rang out, and with a loud bang, Elder Jia's figure was instantly annihilated, turning into a golden talisman before disappearing.

"It's actually an incarnation talisman! They're really willing to spend a fortune!"

Qing Yi snorted coldly. At this moment, everyone disregarded their infighting and flew into the sky at the same time, where two golden lights and one purple light were locked in a fierce battle.

The bearded man unleashed his full power of the Heaven-Supporting Demonic Art, golden scales covering his entire body, followed by several swirling silver ribbons of light.

Wan Tianming waved his hand, and two purple fire dragons flew out, wrapping around Jin Kui. Not stopping there, he took out a flying sword magic weapon, which instantly grew larger and turned into a giant sword, slashing at him.

Unbeknownst to them, a golden sun had appeared behind Jin Kui, radiating a terrifying golden light.

Whether it was the several silver light bands of the bearded man, or Wan Tianming's two purple fire dragons and that giant sword, they were all blocked by the golden light and could not get close to Jin Kui at all.

Jin Kui, radiating golden light, faced the combined attack of Man Hu Zi and Wan Tianming with composure and without the slightest panic. However, his face was terribly gloomy, clearly having witnessed Elder Jia's defeat and escape.

The bearded man and Wan Tianming exchanged a glance, both showing surprise. This Grand Elder of the Star Palace seemed even more powerful than rumored. He hadn't even used any magic weapons, yet he had managed to withstand their attacks using some powerful secret technique. Thinking of this, the two quickly said, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and help!"

With a shout from the bearded man, Qingyi and his two companions naturally seized the opportunity, and Wan Tianming also greeted Lin He and his two companions.

The eight Nascent Soul cultivators present, including two mid-Nascent Soul cultivators and six early-Nascent Soul cultivators, were besieging Jin Kui, a peak mid-Nascent Soul cultivator.

The various magical treasures shone brightly, and amidst the dazzling light, terrifying spiritual energy fluctuations spread out. Even Jin Kui felt immense pressure from such a powerful lineup.

A host of magical treasures and ancient artifacts appeared simultaneously, including a jet-black hand, cyan flying needles, a short ruler, willow branches, a red flying sword, a red jade tablet, a purple fire dragon, and a silver light band.

Jin Kui's face was terribly gloomy. The golden sun behind him suddenly appeared in front of him in a strange way. Then, the golden sun expanded and contracted, and then it exploded.

The next moment, a dazzling golden ocean appeared. The light emitted by all the treasures' attacks collided violently with the golden ocean. After a deafening roar, they were ultimately outnumbered. The brilliance of the numerous magical treasures and ancient artifacts overwhelmed the golden ocean and instantly reached Jin Kui. Just then, a small golden shield appeared, and a thick golden protective barrier appeared, blocking all the weakened attacks.

"Kim Kyu!"

Unbeknownst to Wan Tianming, a Xuanhuang Mirror had appeared in his hand!

While Jin Kui was defending against the attacks of the crowd, a beam of light suddenly emanated from the surface of the Xuanhuang Mirror, completely enveloping Jin Kui. A thick layer of white frost appeared and then spread out, completely freezing Jin Kui's body.

Upon seeing this, Jin Kui's face darkened, and the golden light around him became even more dazzling. Then, a terrifying golden light burst forth, shattering all the ice. Just as Jin Kui managed to escape, a golden figure glittering above his head swooped down, and an extremely dense golden light flew out. It was none other than the barbarian with the wild beard who had taken the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

Seeing this, Jin Kui quickly took out a small golden shield to defend himself. The powerful impact of the golden light shook him, and he hurriedly retreated. Just then, the group, who had been preparing for a long time, launched attacks with various treasures.

After being ambushed by the combined forces of Manhuzi and Wan Tianming, Jin Kui could no longer withstand their attacks. Finally, with a roar of resentment, Jin Kui's figure was completely swallowed up, and a golden avatar appeared before disappearing.

After defeating Jia Chen and Jin Kui, Man Hu Zi, with Qing Yi and his two companions, and Wan Tianming, with Lin He and his two companions, faced each other from a distance of several dozen feet.

The situation did not ease with the defeat of Jin Kui and Elder Jia; on the contrary, it became even more tense.

No one spoke; the silence was absolute. But everyone knew this was the calm before the storm. They were all waiting for the Void Cauldron to appear.

The Azure Ice Flame was terrifyingly powerful, and no one dared to risk their lives by entering the high platform, let alone help the spirit beasts retrieve the cauldron. They could only watch helplessly as the beasts slowly pulled up the Void Heaven Cauldron.

The waiting time felt both incredibly long and incredibly short. Before long, the Void Cauldron was pulled up to the cave entrance.

Lin He quickly looked up and saw that the Void Heaven Cauldron was flat and round, with two handles and three legs, about four feet high and about ten feet in diameter.

The top has a slightly convex round cover, and the surrounding area is carved with scenes of mountains, rivers, birds, beasts, insects, fish, trees, etc. It looks simple and rough, but it has a wild and ancient atmosphere.

As soon as the Void Heaven Cauldron emerged from the cave, it immediately emitted a buzzing sound, and the blue flames enveloping the cauldron surged several times over, freezing the entire area within a dozen feet of the cave entrance with blue frost.

Apart from a few spirit beasts that were unafraid, everyone else retreated.

Looking at the completely frozen platform in front of them, and the Void Cauldron hidden in the center of the platform, everyone frowned.

Tian Wuzi was the first to ask, "Now that the Void Heaven Cauldron is frozen, how can we retrieve it?"
