The three-flower runes enveloped the bronze ancient cauldron, with the core of the three-flower pattern aimed at the master recognition rune.
"Buzz"—
a vortex appeared. The master recognition rune, which had been radiating divine light, was instantly wiped away as the vortex appeared, covering all the power covering the rune.
"Pfft!"
The master recognition rune dimmed, and Yin Changsheng spat out a mouthful of blood, which was knocked away by the divine light of the bronze ancient cauldron.
"Long Chen, you damn bastard, don't die a horrible death..." Yin Changsheng let out a heart-wrenching roar.
With this strike, Long Chen wiped out all his efforts. The recognition of his master was interrupted, and all his efforts together were in vain.
"Here's your chance."
Jiuyou Luosha, Shi Yang, Ji Wuming, Mo Nian, Yue Xiaoqian, and others all charged at the bronze ancient cauldron simultaneously. Yin Changsheng's mastery was interrupted, and the others seized their chance with all their might.
"Boom boom boom... As
soon as they approached the bronze ancient cauldron, they were all blasted away by the divine light, and not a single person could get close.
"Whoosh."
But Long Chen easily passed through the bronze cauldron's light screen and headed straight for it. In that instant, everyone was stunned.
"How is that possible?" The corpse disaster could not help but be furious.
"Buzz!"
Just as Long Chen approached the bronze cauldron, a figure was even faster, rushing to the front of the cauldron ahead of him.
"Long Aotian!"
Everyone was shocked. That person was none other than Long Aotian, who had just been nearly killed by Long Chen.
At this moment, Long Aotian was reduced to just half his body, looking extremely terrifying. His face was twisted with rage, and a blood-stained hand slammed hard against the bronze cauldron.
"Buzz!"
The bronze cauldron roared and exploded, being pushed and shaken by Long Aotian, charging straight at Long Chen.
"I understand. This bronze ancient cauldron has absorbed the essence blood of three people in total. All of them will be recognized by the cauldron." Yue Xiaoqian called out.
After Yue Xiaoqian said this, everyone suddenly understood. Yin Changsheng had used his own essence blood to feed the bronze ancient cauldron.
Long Chen and Long Aotian fought fiercely, their blood staining Changtian, and their essence blood was absorbed by the bronze ancient cauldron.
But no one else had ever given their blood essence to the bronze ancient cauldron, meaning Yin Changsheng, Long Chen, and Long Aotian all had the keys to unlock it. So the bronze ancient cauldron did not reject the three of them.
"Die! No weapon can withstand the blow of this ancient cauldron." Long Aotian roared in anger, pushing the ancient cauldron, his face twisted like a ghost.
Long Aotian pushed the bronze ancient cauldron, and the master recognition rune on the cauldron lit up again. Clearly, it would also recognize Long Aotian as its master.
All three had the ability to make the bronze ancient cauldron recognize their master. It all depended on who could be the first to do so. Yin Changsheng was sent flying, and it was already too late to rush over.
Long Aotian pushed the bronze ancient cauldron to crash into Long Chen. If Long Chen tried to resist, the terrifying force would kill him alive.
If he retreated, Long Aotian would take the opportunity to have the bronze ancient cauldron recognize him as his master. At that point, with the cauldron protecting him, no one could do anything to him.
"Buzz!"
Facing the roaring bronze ancient cauldron, Long Chen summoned a black dagger. He didn't dare to stab it directly, but instead swung his large hand, and the black dagger transformed into a streak of light as he stabbed toward the bronze ancient cauldron.
"Bang!"
When the black dagger struck the bronze ancient cauldron, it emitted a strange and muffled sound, muffled like two massive creatures lightly touching each other.
The sound wasn't loud, nor did it produce violent fluctuations, but the chains locked to the bronze ancient cauldron shattered with a thunderous crash. Long Aotian, who was pushing the cauldron, spat blood and was sent flying.
The black dagger and the bronze ancient cauldron remained unharmed, but their contact caused turmoil throughout the world.
"Boom boom boom... The
chains shattered, and the coffins were freed from their chains, shattering one by one, followed by waves of terrifying aura radiating outward.
"Bad news, the Ancient Evil Corpse has revived."
Mo Nian's face changed dramatically. The terrifying beings from those coffins were about to emerge. These creatures could not resist, even a breath could kill them without a grave.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, a massive figure emerged from the shattered coffin. It was a pitch-black demon ape, pounding its chest and letting out a thunderous roar.
With its furious roar, heaven and earth shattered, the void was disillusioned, and violent sound waves caused all paths to collapse.
"Puff puff puff... The
Saint Pill Hall, the demon clan, and the powerful warriors brought by Long Aotian all exploded to pieces, turning to dust. Mo Nian, Yin Changsheng, and the others also coughed up blood, as if a volcano inside them had exploded at the roar.
"Dong dong dong... The
black-furred giant ape pounded its chest like a heavenly drum beating, the heavens and earth trembling. Everyone felt as if heaven and earth were upside down, the universe overturned, and their bodies nearly shattered.
Yin Changsheng and the others were shocked; they had no idea what level of monster was buried inside these coffins.
"Boom!"
A giant swung his fist, shattering the sky. Endless spatial fragments flew everywhere, and the entire world felt like it was about to explode. That person was none other than the Three-Eyed Giant Mo Nian had visited.
One terrifying being after another emerged from their coffins, their auras soaring to the heavens. There were seventy-two coffins in total, sealing seventy-two living beings.
Originally, there were only thirty-six on the Skyline side, and there were thirty-six on the other side. Mo Nian and the others had only explored a dozen or so in total, and there were many other beings they had never seen before.
"Run!"
At this moment, Yin Changsheng and the others were terrified. Even a breath from these beings could kill them. They no longer cared about the bronze ancient cauldron and all fled in panic.
"Come in quickly."
Just as Mo Nian and the others were about to act, Long Chen shouted.
At this moment, Long Chen stood atop the bronze ancient cauldron. The master recognition rune on the bronze ancient cauldron had already lit up. Although the master recognition was not yet complete, Long Chen was already half its master.
"Whoosh."
Mo Nian and the others, who had been close to the bronze ancient cauldron, rushed straight over when Long Chen called out without hesitation. Sure enough, the cauldron's light screen did not push them away; everyone entered.
After entering the light screen, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. With the barrier blocking the air, most of the terrifying shockwaves and sounds were blocked, and everyone was terrified.
"Xia Chen, hurry and take a pill to heal."
Long Chen hurriedly handed it to Xia ChenA single pill. At this moment, Xia Chen's face was deathly pale, his body nearly shattered by the shock. Even with talismans protecting him, he nearly lost his life. The monster sealed inside the coffin was terrifying, beyond their comprehension.
Outside, roars shook the sky, but the light barrier of the bronze cauldron blocked the space, so for now, it was safe.
"Heh heh, these idiots, now they're out of luck."
Watching Yin Changsheng, Shi Yang, Ji Wuming, Ji Wuming, Jiu You Luo Sha, and Long Aotian struggling wildly outside, Mo Nian revealed a sinister smile.
At this moment, outside the air waves surged and fierce winds howled; they were like small boats caught in raging seas, ready to capsize at any moment.
At this moment, space had already twisted, the world showing signs of collapse, a scene of apocalypse. Only the area inside the bronze cauldron remained a pure land.
"You protect me, and I'll make sure the bronze cauldron is fully recognized as its master."
After Long Chen finished speaking, he pressed his large hand on the bronze cauldron, focused his mind, and circulated the few remaining essence, energy, and spirit to completely absorb the bronze ancient cauldron.
"Boom!"
At that moment, heaven and earth exploded, and people were shocked to find a huge cage appearing, enveloping the entire realm.
"This ..." Mo Nian saw the cage, a look of shock appearing on his face.
