"Buzz"—In Long Chen's
eyes, three petal patterns appeared—these were the shapes of the Three Flower Pupils.
When Long Chen's Purgatory Eye activated the Three Flowers Eye, a three-flower pattern stretching tens of thousands of miles appeared between heaven and earth.
Three flowers covered the sky, enveloping Long Aotian. At that moment, his hair stood on end, and a fierce danger overwhelmed his heart.
"Buzz!"
Long Aotian waved the Sun, Moon, and Five Elements Banner fiercely at the Three Flowers Pattern, but the void trembled. The Three Flowers Pattern remained unmoved—visible but intangible.
In Long Chen's left eye, the three-flower pattern flowed. Until today, as his cultivation continued to grow, he could barely control the true power of the Purgatory Eye. This was also the first time he had used the Purgatory Eye to activate his pupil technique.
"Three Flowers Ultimate Strike!"
Long Chen gritted his teeth, his three-flower pupils suddenly trembling. Where the three flowers had originally intertwined, there was a blank space. When Long Chen activated his soul power, that blank space formed a vortex.
The moment the vortex formed, black blood overflowed from Long Chen's eyes, the intense pain wildly corroding his soul.
"Rumble... The
three-flower pattern covering Long Aotian's body was originally illusory. The moment Long Chen launched his attack, the three flowers instantly solidified. Where the three flowers overlapped was where Long Aotian was, and a strange vortex appeared before him.
"Universe Shield!"
Long Aotian was both shocked and furious. He shouted, the strange phenomenon behind him trembled, and the figure changed his seal, and a shield of light enveloped Long Aotian.
"Boom!"
But as soon as the shield formed, it was crushed by the vortex. Not only did the vortex explode, but even the phantom behind Long Aotian was shattered together.
"Pfft!"
Long Aotian let out a miserable scream, half his body swallowed by a vortex, blood mist filling the air, as if an invisible beast had bitten off half of his body.
"Boom!"
The three flowers shattered, and Long Aotian rolled out, blood staining the sky. People were horrified to find that half of Long Aotian's golden armor had been swallowed by the vortex, leaving only a broken battle armor.
"My soul power is insufficient, so I missed the mark."
Long Chen's left eye was in intense pain, as if it was about to burst. He had paid a tremendous price for this strike.
Unfortunately, the first time he used his full power with his eye technique, his soul power was insufficient, causing the core of the eye technique to deviate.
Previously, when Long Chen and Huo Ling'er joined forces to activate the World-Destroying Fire Lotus, Long Chen had kept a backup plan. At that time, Long Chen still had eighty percent of his soul power left, so he kept half of it, just in case, to keep some soul power to activate the Eye of Purgatory.
Forty percent of his soul power was enough to activate the Eye of Purgatory, but there was a deviation in his control. If the vortex core was aimed at Long Aotian's head, he would be dead beyond measure.
"Whoosh!"
Thunder wings appeared behind Long Chen, charging at Long Aotian. At this moment, Long Aotian had lost the support of the phantom behind him and was on the verge of death, unable to fight back. Killing him would only take one move.
"Heavenly Dragon Locking Array" Before
Long Chen could act, countless powerful figures charged up to Long Aotian. They wielded divine weapons and set up formations—they were none other than the powerful members of the ancient Long family.
"A bunch of ants, can they really stop me, Long Chen, from seeking revenge?"
Facing the path blocked by these supreme-level prodigies, Long Chen snorted coldly, his Minghong Blade trembling. Even though he was already at the end of his rope, his killing intent remained decisive.
"Idiot, don't worry about that Long Aotian. That Yin Changsheng has already branded his soul mark on the bronze ancient cauldron. If you don't act soon, he'll get his hands on it. You'll regret it for the rest of your life." Just as Long Chen was about to charge forward, the dragon clan expert shouted angrily.
Only then did Long Chen notice that the bronze ancient cauldron floating in the void was slowly glowing, with milky white runes floating on it.
It turned out that when Yin Changsheng entered this place, he immediately recognized the extraordinary nature of the bronze ancient cauldron and was secretly using his soul power to communicate with it.
This ancient cauldron was covered with endless flame runes. Yin Changsheng secretly nourished it with his own fire of faith, hoping to resonate with it. Only after resonating could he imprint a soul imprint on it and take it away.
Yin Changsheng also paid a great price, using his own essence blood and the fire of faith to nourish the bronze ancient cauldron from afar. Finally, the cauldron began to react, and he started secretly branding his soul imprint.
All of this was accomplished by Yin Changsheng using secret techniques, completely undetected by anyone. Only at this moment, the soul imprint began to gradually appear, finally attracting others' attention.
"Courting death!"
The Nine Nether Rakshasa was the first to turn hostile, slashing at Yin Changsheng with a sword. Everyone knew the bronze ancient cauldron was a supreme treasure, yet Yin Changsheng was trying to get ahead of it.
"Hahaha, it's useless. The soul imprint has already been planted. This ancient cauldron belongs to me, Yin Changsheng."
Yin Changsheng laughed like thunder. Facing the attack of the Nine Nether Rakshasa, he dodged without fighting, his figure flickering, and charged directly at the ancient cauldron.
"Rumble rumble...
At that moment, the bronze ancient cauldron trembled uncontrollably, the chains around it jingling as if it might break free at any moment.
"Sorry, this treasure is destined for us. You can forget about it."
At that moment, Mo Nian chuckled and stood in front of Yin Changsheng alongside Yue Xiaoqian, Xia Chen, and Guo Ran, not giving him a chance to approach the bronze ancient cauldron.
"A bunch of fools. Whatever I, Yin Changsheng, want to get, no one can take away."
Yin Changsheng was first startled when he saw Mo Nian and the others blocking his way, but then understood that the distant Mo Nian and the others were just an illusion—they had all been deceived. Yet even so, he remained very confident.
"Is that so?" Then I have to give it a try. Mo Nian chuckled, holding his longbow, and with a gentle draw, the bow was like a full moon, locking onto Yin Changsheng.
"Whoosh"
Suddenly, Yin Changsheng broke free from Mo Nian's lockdown, which shocked Mo Nian. It was the first time he had been locked on and escaped.
Yin Changsheng's body vanished instantly, and when he reappeared, he was already on the ancient bronze cauldron.
"He ... He could already wield the power of the ancient cauldron. Xia Chen's face changed dramatically.
"Boom!"
Mo Nian shot an arrow at Yin Changsheng, but with a loud explosion, the arrow shattered the divine light of the bronze cauldron before it even reached him.
"Oh no,"
Mo Nian's expression also changed. He hadn't expected Yin Changsheng to be able to control the power of the bronze ancient cauldron so quickly.
What they didn't know was that Yin Changsheng was also making a high-stakes gamble, using eighty percent of his essence blood, soul power, and faith power to feed this ancient cauldron.
He wanted to give up several times along the way,He was afraid that even if he fed all his power into the bronze ancient cauldron, he still wouldn't be able to awaken it, and then he would lose the right to compete for all the treasures.
But Yin Changsheng was a ruthless man. Gritting his teeth, he continued feeding him. Now he had finally succeeded, absorbing so much of his essence blood. The ancient cauldron had finally developed a close affection for him.
"Boom boom boom... Jiuyou
Luosha, Ji Wuming, Shi Yang, and others also launched attacks on Yin Changsheng, but unfortunately, their attacks couldn't reach him at all. All were annihilated by the bronze ancient cauldron, and everyone's expressions immediately turned grim.
"Hahaha, just accept your fate. I, Yin Changsheng, am destined to be the child of destiny. This item can only belong to me. The Bronze Cauldron, acknowledge it as its master."
Yin Changsheng laughed heartily, shouted, and poured all his remaining essence, energy, and spirit into the bronze ancient cauldron.
"Buzz"—
a huge rune lit up on the bronze ancient cauldron—a master recognition rune. The bronze ancient cauldron was about to complete its master recognition and become Yin Changsheng's weapon.
"You're celebrating too soon. This treasure is mine."
Suddenly, Long Chen's icy voice rang out, and immediately after, the three-flower pattern appeared once more on the bronze ancient cauldron.
"You..."
Yin Changsheng was shocked.
