Chapter 1308: Refining God Pot

Chapter 1309: The God-Refining Pot

People found everything they witnessed incredibly bizarre. A dry well, sealed for untold ages, had been silent for countless millennia since the mythical era. Yet, as soon as its seal was opened, powerful beings crawled out, a truly inconceivable sight.

Especially when the demonic well burst open, a colossal lotus ascended, blossoming with divine light amidst blood mist and demonic energy. It was pristine white and crystalline, yet surrounded by mountains of corpses and seas of blood, making it both eerie and mysterious.

The pulsations it emitted were overwhelmingly terrifying. Cracks appeared in the void, spreading across the entire ancient star. After the Human Race's Tenth City and two moons had exploded, vast ripples now emerged across the firmament.

"Ah..." Such an imposing might shook the past and present, truly horrifying. Even evil gods and holy spirits retreated, unable to suppress their cries.

The leading masters, along with their forces, all fled. They immediately pierced through the domain gate, leading their vast armies to retreat like a tide, not daring to delay for a single moment.

Beyond the domain, the human experts felt a chill down their spines, a shiver of dread rising within them. What kind of malevolent entity was this, to have actually driven away several Great Sages!

"Truly dreadful," Daoist Qinghuang remarked, his expression solemn. "It failed to brew immortal liquid, yet it bred gods and devils. This is a major menace!"

In the mythical era, the Daoist Master vanquished a supreme Holy Spirit, sealing it within the well and laying down numerous array formations. This was akin to a wine cellar, where the essence of its flesh and blood was meant to transform into immortal wine. Such a feat would not only potentially cultivate a human supreme being in the future but would also undoubtedly allow many powerful cultivators to significantly advance their Dao cultivation.

"The dry well has become a land of blood and defilement, breeding a terrifying demonic lotus," Daoist Qinghuang stated, making his assessment. "They are temporarily avoiding its sharpest edge, but will reappear soon."

This pristine white lotus enveloped the flesh and blood of that ancient Holy Spirit, along with an ancient artifact. Upon its emergence, the ancestral artifact was in a state of revival, unstoppable by gods or Buddhas. Not even Great Sages could contend with it.

"What?" Ye Fan exclaimed in shock. "The Holy Spirit's flesh and blood were preserved, still imperishable to this day?"

Daoist Qinghuang nodded, his expression solemn. That was a Holy Spirit of flesh and blood, whose power in ancient times had reached its absolute zenith. Only the Daoist Master's intervention had been able to suppress and vanquish it.

The pristine white lotus contained immortal brilliance within. Streaks of blood flowed out between its petals, dazzlingly brilliant. Though small in quantity, this blood was filled with immortal divinity, incredibly resplendent.

This was the divine blood born from a true flesh-and-blood Holy Spirit! Was it blood nearing the Emperor-level? This was the flesh and blood of a Quasi-Emperor, or perhaps an even stronger entity, preserved to this very day.

Over the next half month, the entire ancient star resonated. The Great Dao was suppressed, and the chanting sounds of three thousand ancient devils echoed, sounding immensely dreadful.

"What a pity," Daoist Qinghuang lamented, deeply frustrated. "Not a single drop of immortal liquid was brewed; instead, it cultivated a host of gods and devils!"

Just a single drop could allow a person's Dao cultivation to advance significantly, or lay a foundational Dao base for a young child, making their future achievements limitless.

Moreover, it could even resurrect the dead and regrow flesh on bones, serving as a precious elixir for saving and preserving lives.

Back then, the Daoist Master had intended to refine this Holy Spirit, treating it as an immortal divine medicine for concocting a divine elixir.

Alas, the effort fell short at the final hurdle!

Half a month later, the fluctuations across the entire ancient star gradually subsided. The pristine white lotus closed, encasing the Holy Spirit's flesh and blood along with the ancient artifact, and no longer releasing divine might.

It was at this moment that the two Holy Spirits and the Evil Gods finally reappeared, launching their most ferocious offensive.

On this ancient star, overwhelming foreign armies, bearing numerous forbidden artifacts and having inscribed many array patterns, advanced simultaneously to suppress the ancient well.

The great battle commenced, inaugurating the astonishing war to assault the ancient well!

"I should act now," Daoist Qinghuang murmured before turning and disappearing. "It is rumored that ultimate powerhouses from other star regions will also arrive. It's hard to say whether this battle will be auspicious or ominous."

The human Dao Protectors decided to intercept the Evil Gods and Holy Spirits at the most crucial juncture, aiming to wear them down until they perished before the ancient well.

Great Sages of the Old Madman and Daoist Qinghuang's caliber were, naturally, the pinnacle of combat power. From that point on, everything would entirely depend on their support.

Of course, the human Dao Protectors could not directly intervene. Instead, they had to seize the opportune moment to deliver a decisive, fatal blow against the Evil Gods and others at the very last second.

"Boom!" The great battle began. The Evil Gods and Holy Spirits all surged forward, attacking the demonic well. They unleashed waves of laws, purifying the foul blood rain and clearing a path.

However, from the well immediately surged forth over twenty figures, each seething with boundless magical power and rolling death energy. They were all Death Saints, charging forward to attack in unison.

"Die!" roared the peerless Fire Spirit, Cang Yan. His entire body radiated brilliant power, incredibly mighty. Ancient symbols flashed before his body, flying forward to suppress the enemies.

Foul blood splattered as four ancient beings successively shattered, transforming into pools of putrid gore that dissolved into the Great Moon Slope. They had met their unnatural end.

"Roar..." A terrifying roar echoed from beneath the ancient well. Several horrifying beings surged forth, condensed from blood mist, each immensely powerful.

"These are condensed from the blood of the Holy Spirit ancestor!" Ao Mang cried out, gasping as his entire body turned ice-cold.

These were devils formed from the blood of one who had touched the Emperor realm. Now awakened and possessing a few of the laws and order from the original being's life, they were utterly terrifying.

These were the gods and devils nurtured within the ancient well! Their strength was comparable to Great Sages. They charged directly into the fray, and Cang Yan, Ao Mang, the Evil Gods, and others were embroiled in bitter combat.

"Kill them..." Both sides engaged in fierce, horrific combat, a true clash of titans. Blood mist surged from the ancient well, causing many ancient corpses beneath the frozen ground to revive and become servants, desperately charging forward. Under the leadership of several great blood demons, they constantly claimed lives.

The races from across the starry sky suffered heavy casualties. At one point, they were forced to retreat and cease their attacks, but the allure of the ancient artifact compelled them to return again and again, engaging in a protracted war of attrition.

The four Evil Gods and two Holy Spirits desperately fought the blood demons, but the other combatants found it difficult to resist the two dozen majestic figures that had first crawled out of the ancient well. The battle was exceedingly brutal.

The war reached a white-hot intensity!

Cang Yan and Ao Mang continuously chanted incantations, hoping to activate the ancestral artifact within the pristine white lotus and retrieve it. The lotus trembled in tremors, and streaks of blood flowed out, but it simply would not release its grip.

"Brother Cang Yan, let us handle this!" an Evil God suddenly roared. His entire body was pale gold, like a deity, with four faces on his head, immensely imposing.

"Boom!" A God-Refining Pot flew out, exuding immense majesty. Even from far away in the starry sky, Ye Fan felt waves of trepidation, revealing a look of shock.

This was an Extreme Dao Emperor Armament! A certain race in the depths of the starry sky possessed such a weapon. No wonder Daoist Qinghuang had warned him not to reveal the Green Copper Cauldron unless absolutely necessary, or it would be snatched by the Evil Gods.

Those wielding Emperor Armaments were absolutely invincible. They could sweep across an entire sector of the cosmic starry sky. With his current cultivation, even brandishing the Green Copper Cauldron, he was certainly no match for them.

The God-Refining Pot was cyan-gold throughout, gleaming with a radiant sheen. It exuded the oppressive might of an ancient Great Emperor, causing all to tremble.

This Emperor Armament was cast from Empyrean Azure Gold. It bore layers of wing-like ripples, as if an immortal ascending to heaven, possessing immeasurable power!

The God-Refining Pot belonged to the Light Clan, an immensely ancient and powerful race dwelling in the depths of the starry sky. Members of this clan possessed four faces on their heads and bodies of pale gold, making them exceedingly majestic and formidable.

Ye Fan was momentarily stunned. He had seen this race before when he was on Beidou; they were one of the Myriad Ancient Races. However, in the Beidou star domain, they were far from this powerful, not even considered an ancient royal clan.

He had never imagined they would be so formidable and hold such esteemed status in the depths of the starry sky, actually possessing an Extreme Dao Ancient Emperor Armament and wielding the supreme God-Refining Pot!

The Great Sages of this clan were dubbed Evil Gods, so one could well imagine their unparalleled terror and might.

The God-Refining Pot was cyan-gold throughout, dazzlingly brilliant. Layers of feather-like ripples emerged as Extreme Dao divine might radiated, and its spout pulsed with light, attempting to suck in the pristine white lotus.

At this moment, the entire ancient star boomed, as if on the verge of shattering.

"Roar..." The blood demons roared, suddenly merging into the pristine white lotus. From within, terrifying power erupted, surprisingly no weaker than the Extreme Dao divine might itself.

"Clang, clang..." Petal after petal of the lotus unfurled and continuously grew larger. It was pristine white and crystalline, flawlessly transparent, emitting waves of a sweet aroma. One zhang, ten zhang... a thousand zhang!

When the colossal lotus fully unfurled, its diameter reached a thousand zhang, revealing the flesh and blood within. The divine blood's light rent the heavens and sundered the earth, making it impossible to gaze upon directly.

An aura permeated the air, hardly weaker than that of an ancient Great Emperor. It was incredibly terrifying, compelling all to prostrate themselves in reverence.

"That is..." Everyone was stunned into silence, seeing the object within the lotus. The Holy Spirit race, especially, couldn't help but cry out.

In the center of the snow-white lotus lay a colossal hand, hundreds of zhang in length, holding a stone token in its palm. Both together released supreme divine might. Just as when it had first emerged half a month ago, it crushed all resistance, destroying everything in its path.

"It's a hand of the Holy Spirit ancestor, holding the ancient artifact he left behind!" Ao Mang exclaimed, his expression alight with excitement.

"Boom!" However, at this very moment, the colossal hand rose. Holding the stone token, it slashed down towards the God-Refining Pot with unmatched and invincible divine might.

Everyone was stunned into silence. The Evil God of the Light Clan desperately activated the God-Refining Pot, causing it to revive and emit the majesty of an ancient Emperor, to counter this terrifying colossal hand and stone token.

"That is the supreme Holy Spirit of the mythical era," voices cried out. "Although it was slain countless ages ago, this is but one of his hands, wielding the stone token from his lifetime. If it strikes down like this, it will be difficult to contend with!"

The foreign races were terrified and cried out in alarm; everyone fell into chaos. Even Ao Mang and Cang Yan's expressions changed drastically, for they deeply knew the terror of that ancestor. Had he not lived in the same era as the Daoist Master, he would undoubtedly have been invincible throughout the starry sky!

"Boom!" The most terrifying collision occurred. The God-Refining Pot clashed against the colossal hand and the stone token, unleashing brilliant light that swept across the entire ancient star.

"Ah..." Waves of agonized screams erupted. One of the four Evil Gods, being slightly further from the God-Refining Pot, shattered inch by inch along with the clan he commanded under the stone token. They then exploded, disintegrating into blood mist.

An ancient Great Emperor was indeed unrivaled! The ancient Holy Spirit Ancestor from the mythical era was not yet a Great Emperor, and only a single lifeless hand remained. Yet, wielding this stone token, it could still unleash such power, annihilating an Evil God and an entire clan. How truly terrifying this was!

No one had imagined that a hand, sealed to the point of almost becoming a pool of blood, could still be so formidable even after losing its former divine power. It was simply beyond comprehension.

How powerful, then, was a true Great Emperor?

Cang Yan, Ao Mang, and the other three Evil Gods led their clansmen in a rapid retreat, countering with the God-Refining Pot. Everyone's heart turned cold.

In the outer domain, one asteroid after another exploded. Nothing could long endure under the Extreme Dao divine might, detonating like fireworks.

This was because peak Great Sages were fully activating an Emperor Armament; immortal might pulsed, and nothing could resist!

As for this ancient star of life, had it not been for the various imprints left by an ancient Great Emperor, it would likely have been pulverized instantly. But even so, rifts had formed, clearly indicating it was on the verge of breaking apart.

"Boom!" The moment the Holy Spirits and three Evil Gods retreated from the ancient star, a tyrannical figure suddenly appeared and punched down. Its divine might was unmatched, blasting Ao Mang into shattered stone and blood mist. This time, he could could not be resurrected.

"How dare you!" the Evil God of the Light Clan roared in fury, raising the God-Refining Pot to capture him.

However, the Old Madman possessed the "Line" character secret, and instantly vanished into the domain portal, entering the depths of the universe and disappearing from sight.

"Immortal liquid! A few drops of immortal liquid have finally appeared!" Ye Fan exclaimed in surprise. He cultivated the Heavens-Penetrating Source Art, which allowed him to perceive through dragon veins and witness crystalline liquid dripping in the depths of the broken ancient well.

"This is the ancestral artifact of our Holy Spirit lineage," Cang Yan declared, ignoring all else. "The stone token records the Heaven-Mending Art, which can allow Holy Spirits like us, who emerged early, to reach the perfected realm!" He then borrowed the God-Refining Pot from the Evil God and charged towards the ancient star once more.
