"Don't joke around. If it wakes up, I won't be able to protect you. After all, my strength hasn't even recovered by ten percent." The Qiankun Cauldron said somewhat irritably.
It understood Long Chen's personality; whenever this guy saw a treasure, his old habit would flare up, determined to get it no matter what.
But this time was different. The demonic embryo was almost mature. Even if its absorption was interrupted now, it couldn't be perfected. It was still a quasi-emperor-level existence. Such a powerhouse could crush Long Chen with a single finger.
"There will always be a way." Long Chen said unwillingly, continuing to use his Amethyst Heavenly Eye to examine the demonic fetus.
"Take my advice: there are many traps in this world. If you can't control them, you'll die in them.
Just like in your mortal realm, cats like to eat fish but can't swim; fish like earthworms, but they can't come ashore. This world gives you countless temptations but never a chance. If you force yourself to fight for them, you'll lose your life. "Qiankun Cauldron earnestly advised.
"Whether it works or not, I have to try. Otherwise, how can I be satisfied?" Long Chen replied with a serious expression:
"I've always been plagued by bad luck. Heaven doesn't favor me, so if I want to be strong, I have to rely on myself. I never believe in luck; I only believe in my own strength."
An opportunity can only be obtained if I put in a hundred, even ten thousand times more effort than others, so I can't miss any chance. Otherwise, when disaster strikes again, I may never recover. Hearing
Long Chen say this, the Qiankun Cauldron could only sigh helplessly. In the past, it could have forcibly bound and taken Long Chen away.
But now it couldn't do that. Ever since recognizing Long Chen as its master, it had to respect Long Chen as its master. Even if Long Chen was wrong, it could only watch and watch.
Long Chen kept observing the world inside the demonic embryo, and also observing the aura of the demonic spirit within it. Soon, sweat began to befall on his forehead.
He discovered that the demonic embryo and altar were one, and the demon spirit was the core of the altar. Previously, Long Chen jumped onto the altar, drawing its attention, which was actually the demon spirit's instinctive sense of danger.
Just as the Qiankun Cauldron said, he had no chance at all. The demon spirit controlled the entire altar, which was one entity, leaving no trace or flaws.
"No, the demon spirit was put inside, so there must be an entrance." Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Long Chen's mind.
Long Chen used his Amethyst Heavenly Eye again to examine the outer shell of the demonic embryo. Finally, at the very top of the demon embryo, he saw a circular pattern. He was instantly overjoyed:
"It must be here."
To avoid attracting the demon spirit's attention, Long Chen split the monster's thigh in two, tied a rope to his feet, and slowly walked over.
Sure enough, any part of the altar where a monster's body touches won't trigger a counterattack. Long Chen slowly approached the demon embryo and slowly climbed up.
When Long Chen reached the top of the demonic embryo and found that the demon spirit inside hadn't moved, he felt much more at ease. Only then did he have time to look at the arc-shaped rune.
It was a cut. Someone had cut open the egg before placing the demon spirit inside. The reason Long Chen determined that the demon embryo and demon spirit were not one was because the fluctuations of the demon embryo were completely different from those of the demon spirit.
Finding the cut, Long Chen took out a jade ruler and quietly touched the rune, only to find nothing unusual. At that moment, he realized it was a glue-like substance sealing the cut.
Long Chen wanted to use the ruler to pry it open but found it unusually sturdy and impossible to pry it open. Yet he didn't dare use the weapon, because the weapon's inherent killing intent might awaken the sleeping demon spirit.
"That is demonic saliva, extremely sticky. Even after millions of years, it remains immortal. Even with swords and knives, it's hard to break open.
Most importantly, even if we can open it, if we don't want to make a big commotion, it probably won't take a few months to finish it. We simply can't afford to hold out. "Qiankun Cauldron said, it still hopes Long Chen will give up."
"Demon saliva?"
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Long Chen. He stretched out a finger, white flames appearing on it, and Long Chen smeared it along the gap.
"Crack, crack, crack..."
The sticky runes were instantly dried and began to crack.
"This ..."
This time, even the Qiankun Cauldron was stunned. Long Chen's mind was incredible; it hadn't expected the Ice Soul Flame to completely counter the demon's saliva.
The Ice Soul Flame dried up the saliva, the power of ice froze it. When Long Chen's finger circled once with his finger, a layer of solid ice remained on the outer shell of the demonic embryo.
At this moment, Long Chen took out a jade ruler and gently tapped it. The ice slowly fell off, effortlessly removing the demon's saliva.
"Crack, crack, crack..."
Long Chen grabbed the outer shell with his large hand and slowly lifted a lid several feet in diameter, revealing a large hole. As the hole opened, primordial energy surged forth, and at the same time, the vast imperial might nearly sent Long Chen flying.
Fortunately, Long Chen was prepared and withstood the impact. But the moment the lid was lifted, he clearly felt the demon spirit's body tremble. At that moment, his heart leapt into his throat.
Long Chen also clearly felt the runes around the Qiankun Cauldron suddenly activate. Clearly, it was as nervous as Long Chen; if anything unexpected happened, it would definitely escape with Long Chen immediately.
However, after the demon spirit's body trembled slightly, it did not awaken. At that moment, Long Chen's anxious heart finally relaxed, and above his head, a vortex appeared—it was condensed from the Qiankun Cauldron.
It absorbed the aura released by the demonic fetus into the chaotic space. This was a supreme treasure and absolutely could not be wasted.
After opening the lid, Long Chen didn't act immediately. Instead, he waited for the time it takes to burn an incense stick, and only after noticing that the demon spirit's aura had stabilized and seemed to fall back into a deep sleep did he continue to observe.
However, after watching for a while, Long Chen's heart sank. This demonic spirit locked the energy of the entire altar; it could be said to be the leader and the heart. No matter what Long Chen moved, it easily stirred it up.
In other words, Long Chen would either gain nothing or take the entire altar, but the altar was alive and could never be stored in the chaotic space.
"It's useless. You're stealing the lion's tongue. No matter how deeply it sleeps, you won't get a chance to succeed." Even though Long Chen had come this far, the Qiankun Cauldron still felt he had no chance.
"Whoosh." Suddenly,
Long Chen's primordial spirit appeared in the chaotic space. He spread his large hand, and countless rare herbs flew out. The Qiankun Cauldron was startled: "What are you trying to do?" "
Forget it, I'm shameless too. I'm going to poison it!" Long Chen gritted his teeth and said.
