Chapter 1086: Chapter 1105: Who Is Stronger and Who Is Weaker?
If Ye Xuan stirred a mutated Chaos Saint Tribulation that left them shocked, if Ye Xuan possessed the power of Space-Time and Power of Silent Annihilation that terrified them, then the Small Cauldron produced by Primordial Spirit now truly immobilized their very souls.
An ancient legend.
In chaos there are nine cauldrons, named the Void-breaking Cauldron, containing a staggering secret. Whosoever can gather all nine cauldrons and unveil this secret will surely become the most supreme being across the ages, able to dominate the entire Chaos Great World.
Of course, a legend is just a legend and should not be taken as truth.
There is one matter known to chaos beings, the Undying Immortal Scripture created by the Undying Heavenly Lord is because of the Void-breaking Heavenly Cauldron, which informs chaos beings of what an invaluable treasure this cauldron is.
To put it simply, were the Void-breaking Heavenly Cauldron to emerge, it would incite a scramble from the likes of the Undying Heavenly Lord, treasures regarded highly by these supreme beings surely possess immeasurable value.
Now, a Void-breaking Heavenly Cauldron appears in Primordial Spirit’s hand; if this were known to the beings of Chaos Great World, they would inevitably kill in madness to seize this object.
“Small Cauldron?”
Ye Xuan was speechless, never imagining a mysterious Small Cauldron would be in Primordial Spirit’s possession.
“Go.”
Primordial Spirit let go and sent the Void-breaking Heavenly Cauldron directly shooting towards Ye Xuan. Though Zhan Yunshan and others intended to seize it, the Nine-colored Tribulation Clouds were too terrifying, so they ultimately dared not make a move.
Buzz!
The Void-breaking Heavenly Cauldron fell into Ye Xuan’s hands, its mysterious flowing light swirling around its body, an obscure and profound aura rushing toward Ye Xuan.
Crack!
Just at this moment, two Lightning Tribulations struck down upon Ye Xuan, the suppressing world-extinguishing lightning pouring out, attempting to leave Ye Xuan dead with no burial ground.
“Rise!”
Ye Xuan had no time to ponder. He directly offered up the Small Cauldron in his hands to meet the two Lightning Tribulations, and what happened next left everyone dumbfounded.
The chaos from the Nine Kills was unspeakably terrifying; each bolt of lightning harbored chaos power. When the mysterious Small Cauldron defended Ye Xuan, the two bolts of lightning were shockingly annihilated into dust, mysteriously fragmented and gone.
All was silent. The starry sky made no sound.
When this bizarre incident occurred, everyone was unable to comprehend it. Such fearsome Lightning Tribulations were effortlessly blocked by the mysterious Small Cauldron?
Poof!
Suddenly, Ye Xuan spat a mouthful of fresh blood, a muffled groan emerging from his mouth, as he was half-kneeling within the starry sky.
Though the Small Cauldron shielded him from two Lightning Tribulations, the power imbued within chaotic laws still impacted his soul, nearly shattering his Saint Heart without trace.
Thankfully, regardless of outcome, with the cauldron’s defense, Ye Xuan narrowly passed through this calamity.
“Brother Ye!” Liu Baiyi’s expression brightened.
“No problem.”
Ye Xuan steadied himself, gazing upwards at the Nine-colored Tribulation Clouds, in his eyes a depth of solemnity never witnessed before.
Whilst the mysterious Small Cauldron aided his defense against two Lightning Tribulations, it could not repel the chaotic laws bred within them, as this power directly acted upon his soul.
Rumble!
The Nine-colored Tribulation Clouds transformed again; two black lightning bolts brewed within the clouds—the Chaos Eighth Kill and Chaos Ninth Kill—being the most terrifying lightning tribulations among Chaos Nine Kills.
“Life and Death Thunder Tribulation!”
Primordial Spirit clenched both fists tightly and shouted aloud: “This is the Life and Death Thunder Tribulation, harboring the Life and Death Profound Thunder. Besides the likes of the Undying Heavenly Lord, no one else has traversed this tribulation before; you must be careful.”
“Brother Ye!”
Liu Baiyi’s expression was grave, having a desire to aid Ye Xuan yet powerless.
Crack!
Black and white lightning brewed within the Nine-colored Tribulation Clouds, the alternating bursts of black and white lightning flickering in this Chaos Starry Sky, an extremely terrifying aura rushed toward Ye Xuan.
At this moment.
Ye Xuan gazed upwards, eyebrows knitted tightly, as if pondering a certain matter, a fleeting glimmer of hesitance crossing his eyes.
“Master, may I ask, how does my current cultivation compare to the Undying Heavenly Lord during the time of the Chaos Saint Tribulation?” Ye Xuan suddenly turned to Primordial Spirit.
“This…?”
Primordial Spirit, hearing Ye Xuan’s abrupt question, was stunned, unsure how to reply.
Three breaths later.
Primordial Spirit held a firm expression and said: “Master asserts you have not surpassed the Undying Heavenly Lord, yet during the Undying Heavenly Lord’s tribulation of yore, at most he equaled with you.”
“Then it is so.”
Suddenly, Ye Xuan’s eyes fixed, hesitance turned into resolve in his gaze.
“Collect!”
In the next moment, Ye Xuan did something unimaginable—he actually stowed the mysterious Small Cauldron away, exposing himself entirely beneath the Nine-colored Tribulation Clouds.
“Disciple?”
“Heavenly Venerate?”
“Brother Ye?”
“Has he gone mad?”
Various cries echoed, whether from Primordial Spirit, Liu Baiyi, the populace of the Thirty-Three Layered Heaven, or those like Zhan Yunshan and the ten chaotic beings.
Seeing Ye Xuan act so recklessly, everyone showed expressions of fright and disbelief.
“Brother Ye, you…?”
Liu Baiyi’s expression shifted slightly, he stared dazedly at Ye Xuan, though he received Ye Xuan’s unwavering gaze, this jolted Liu Baiyi’s eyes, seemingly sensing Ye Xuan’s intentions.
“Undying Heavenly Lord? Chaos Saint Tribulation?” Liu Baiyi murmured under his breath, then suddenly looked at Ye Xuan, horror streaking through his eyes.
“Brother Ye, are you really going to…?” Liu Baiyi’s complexion grew heavy, hesitant to speak, yet had already guessed Ye Xuan’s intent.
“Brother Baiyi, do not worry, if the Undying Heavenly Lord could conquer this tribulation, so can I, Ye Xuan.” Ye Xuan smiled in assurance, also comforting Liu Baiyi and the others.
Rumble!
The Nine-colored Tribulation Clouds churned, black and white lightning flickered, the Life and Death Thunder Tribulation soon reaching maturation, poised to deliver an unimaginable catastrophe upon Ye Xuan.
“Come on, come on!”
Ye Xuan laughed loudly, eyes gleaming with madness, for he was on the brink of proving something—a matter he had just pondered for a long time.
In truth, none knew that upon the arrival of the Chaos Nine Kills, Ye Xuan uncovered an immense discrepancy.
Chaos Nine Kills were so menacing; he had utilized all his cards, gained support from Liu Baiyi, Luo Hou, and Primordial Spirit, yet failed to withstand Chaos Nine Kills, leading himself to face an unavoidable life and death tribulation.
This fundamentally unsolvable situation was surely a fatal one; now with the descent of the Life and Death Two Tribulations, even with the Small Cauldron’s defense, he would ultimately perish under Chaos Nine Kills, let alone the following Chaos Five-Colored Profound Fire and Great Dao Heart Inquiry Tribulation.
Thus, this profound disparity nurtured myriads of doubt within Ye Xuan’s heart.
Chaos Saint Tribulation, being so terrifying, how did those like the Undying Heavenly Lord overcome it?
Ye Xuan did ask Primordial Spirit earlier, who resolutely confirmed that back when the Undying Heavenly Lord faced the Great Saint Tribulation, at most he and Ye Xuan were on par.
Ye Xuan wholeheartedly believed Primordial Spirit’s words, not out of false humility, assuredly doubting himself inferior to the Undying Heavenly Lord within the Heavenly Dao Nine Tribulations, believing he could only be stronger, never weaker.
