Break open a crack?
Everyone, including ng Ziqiu, looked at each other in confusion, completely at a loss!
Gu Jun and Jian Chuan both stared thoughtfully at the multicolored do above.
"This place is seamlessly united, sealed entirely by the power of the Five Elents. It’s even more fearso than the domain of a True Lord-level expert. It’s practically a small world unto itself."
"Without absolute strength to smash it open, the only way is to break a crack and slowly erode it!"
Gu Jun frowned slightly. "But even if all of us work together, we can’t even make it budge!"
If we can’t even make it tremble, how could we break it?
Xu Yang gave a slight smile and summoned the Celestial Refining Divine Tripod with a thought.
Now, the Celestial Refining Divine Tripod had rged with his Dantian, becoming his own Spiritual Object. He could control the Heaven-Burning Divine Fire within it at will.
Of course, just how much he could control depended on his own strength.
Buzz!!
Strands of black fire rose up in a surge.
"Hiss!"
"What kind of Spirit Fire is that?"
"What a terrifying feeling."
Everyone’s expression changed. Looking at the black Spirit Fire, dread filled their eyes.
Gu Jun squinted, staring intently at the Heaven-Burning Divine Fire.
"This fire... When you were refining pills before, its power wasn’t anywhere near this shocking; now that it’s fused, it even makes my Purple Sun Heaven-Burning Fire tremble in fear."
Gu Jun was stunned to the core.
Before, while this fire was impressive, it had never reached this level.
He curved his palm and waved.
The Ancient Saint Cloud Tripod appeared out of thin air, and Purple Sun Heaven-Burning Fire surged forth.
But facing that black Spirit Fire, Purple Sun Heaven-Burning Fire trembled like leaves in the wind, continuously retreating as if it sensed imnse terror.
This scene made everyone’s scalp tingle.
Everyone knew just how powerful the Purple Sun Heaven-Burning Fire was.
For it to react like this—it was simply inconceivable!
"This fire is extrely powerful, but..."
Jian Chuan looked worried.
Xu Yang took a deep breath, then said, "So, I need everyone to pour all your power into this Tripod!"
This was his plan.
Using his own strength alone, he couldn’t sustain it.
Gu Jun and Jian Chuan exchanged a glance, and their eyes lit up instantly.
"Will this work?"
Xu Yang nodded emphatically.
If everyone poured their strength into the Celestial Refining Divine Tripod, it would be converted into the Purest Essence Qi!
Of those present, though the strongest, Jian Chuan, might not even be able to beat Xu Yang,
Once all their strength was pooled, it was still vast and powerful.
Gu Jun straightened his expression and looked at everyone. "All right, let’s do it."
Everyone nodded without hesitation.
If Xu Yang failed to break through, they would be forever trapped here as well.
Soon after—
Xu Yang withdrew the Heaven-Burning Divine Fire and expanded the Divine Tripod.
Everyone stepped forward, pouring all their energy into the Tripod.
Xu Yang looked up at the do, inwardly uneasy!
The power of this Spirit Artifact was truly incredible.
From Xiao Ming’s perspective, there was absolutely no hope of escape.
Although utilizing the Heaven-Burning Divine Fire gave a sliver of hope, Xu Yang himself couldn’t make any promises until he saw results.
After a long while—
The group sat on the floor, faces pale, their breaths weak to the extre.
Xu Yang felt the trendous power inside the Tripod, steeled his gaze, and began refining it at high speed.
Roughly half a quarter of an hour later,
It was all converted to Purest Essence Qi.
Xu Yang pondered for a mont and tossed all his pills in as well.
Finally, with a thought, the Divine Tripod soared into the air, hovering below the do.
"Rise!"
Xu Yang growled inwardly.
The black Heaven-Burning Divine Fire exploded forth, turning into a black serpent-like fire chain that shot up and struck the do.
Crack!
With a faint crisp sound, black sparks scattered.
Then, under Xu Yang’s control, the Spirit Fire maintained its shape, burning against the do.
The multicolored do didn’t so much as ripple under the Heaven-Burning Divine Fire—it remained utterly still.
Below, everyone’s anxious gazes quivered slightly.
The terror of the Spirit Fire was clear to all!
Yet this do was even more despair-inducing!
Xu Yang was inwardly shaken as well.
The do was even tougher than he’d predicted.
But now, there was no other path.
He rapidly drained his internal power to sustain the Heaven-Burning Divine Fire.
As ti ticked by, there wasn’t a trace of visible change to the do.
Everyone’s faces turned bitter.
Two days later—
Xu Yang’s face was pale.
His own strength was nearly spent.
His energy was being consud too fast.
"At this rate, once all the Tripod’s power is used up, we can only last half a month at best!"
Xu Yang grit his teeth and ravenously absorbed the Purest Essence Qi within the Tripod.
The third day—
Xu Yang’s eyes suddenly brightened. Overjoyed, he said, "There’s a reaction!"
"What?"
Everyone was taken aback.
Gu Jun flashed to the bottom of the do, staring tightly at the spot being seared by the Heaven-Burning Divine Fire.
Soon, excitent appeared on his face.
"It really works!"
"There’s a ripple in the do! As long as this continues, breaking open a crack isn’t a problem!"
Hearing this, everyone instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
"As long as it works, it’s fine."
"Once we break a crack, we can escape!"
"Once we get out, if we run into any of those Five Elents Celestial Realm bastards, none of them will be spared."
...
Gu Jun floated back down and looked at Xu Yang, his expression grave. "To break this crack, it won’t be done quickly. Will you have enough power?"
Xu Yang sighed inwardly and murmured, "Just barely."
Hearing this, Gu Jun nodded slightly, saying no more.
anwhile—
Sowhere in the Spirit Realm, at the War King Clan.
A group of powerful cultivators assembled in the great hall.
Stone Jade was among them.
"Everyone already knows about that young man’s situation."
"Exceptionally gifted and favored by fortune; to reach this level in Daqian, and to co to the Spirit Realm now—the future is limitless!"
"He holds a grudge with Daqian. If we can bring him into the War King Clan, it’ll be a trendous advantage!"
The War King Clan Patriarch, Shi Feng, looked at the elders and spoke in a deep voice.
"Patriarch, that boy is indeed remarkable; but he’s currently trapped..." An elder gave a bitter smile.
"If we break the Five Elents Heaven-Trapping Bowl from the shadows, Five Elents Celestial Realm will surely find out. That would spell trouble for us."
"Yes, exactly."
"If Five Elents Celestial Realm targets us secretly, we might be dood before anything even happens. The War King Clan would be in grave danger!"
"Unless he can escape on his own!"
Hearing this, the hall fell silent.
Escape by himself?
Is there hope?
Shi Feng frowned, looking at Stone Jade. "Yu’Er, any news from over there?"
Stone Jade wore a wry smile. "Father, there’s been no sign of anything!"
"After Xiao Ming’s breakthrough, the Five Elents Heaven-Trapping Bowl was washed by the Spirit River. Trying to escape on one’s own now is... probably impossible."
"Just give up,"
The Grand Elder said gravely.
"There is no way he can escape by himself."
"Shi Hu and Stone Jade may not match the best, but there’s still ti before that place opens. There’s still ti to catch up!"
Everyone nodded in agreent.
Shi Feng sighed and nodded slowly. "Since that’s the case, let’s just let it go."
"Withdraw everyone."
"Yes, Father!"
Stone Jade nodded respectfully.
