Chapter 296 The Limitless Cauldron
Ning Xiaoxi looked at the small black gecko, which was about a foot long. Compared to the big one in front of it, it was like an ant compared to an elephant!
Xiao Jiu stared at the black and gold gecko. Soon, the gecko gave in, lying flat on its front legs with its chin touching the ground, and lowering its head to Xiao Jiu. Xiao Jiu turned away disdainfully and swam to the mouth of the valley.
The eight following behind passed by Xiao Jiu one by one and entered the black desert in the valley.
Xiao Jiu stopped at the mouth of the valley and turned to face it. Ning Xiaoxi spread a thick fur mat on a large rock by the path outside the valley and sat down.
Golden-eyed toad, golden-crowned spirit snake, golden silk ant queen, golden-tailed scorpion, golden-winged illusion butterfly, golden-legged blood centipede, golden silkworm Gu king, golden-backed beauty spider, golden-feathered yin-yang bee, black-gold gecko—ten Gu kings in a row, each occupying a side, all eyeing the other nine with predatory intent.
"Xiao Jiu, are we going to let them fight each other inside?"
“Survival of the fittest is just the process of refining ordinary Gu Kings, but this Gu King is different.” Xiao Jiu’s body gradually grew larger, and the scales on its body began to shimmer with subtle golden light, connecting and finally forming a golden light that flowed smoothly across its body surface.
Golden light slid out from Xiao Jiu's body, flying rapidly to the top of the valley, converging, intertwining, and connecting. The golden light increased, Xiao Jiu's body grew larger, and her majestic aura became heavier. The valley behind her became completely silent, without a sound.
"Clang!"
A golden light barrier coalesced and formed, covering the entire valley and preventing the leakage of internal energy.
As Xiao Jiu's body slowly changed, the small valley also began to change.
"Crack! Crack!"
The surrounding mountain walls began to crack, and soil and rocks began to slide down to the bottom of the valley.
"Boom!"
The entire valley began to tremble, the sand of the Black Desert shook and flowed, and several wingless Gu Kings scattered in all directions, leaping upwards on the rolling stones.
After the rocks tumbled down, massive bronze walls appeared, covered with strange and mysterious runes. These runes were carved with a special alloy and then inlaid with pure spirit crystals. As these runes were revealed, powerful binding and guiding forces began to gradually form.
The Golden Crown Serpent was the fastest; it had already climbed to the highest point before the runes were even revealed, making it the first to touch the runes on the bronze wall.
With a series of "crackling" sounds, the Golden Crown Serpent was launched into the air, and several black lightning patterns appeared on its slender, white body.
The Golden Crowned Serpent struggled to dodge the rolling rocks in mid-air before leaping onto the back of the Golden Feather Yin-Yang Bee Queen. As the serpent landed on its abdomen, the Queen Bee flipped over and thrust its stinger, glowing with a chilling light, into the serpent's body.
The golden-crowned serpent used the queen bee as a springboard, striking her abdomen with its tail to propel itself onto a sturdy pine tree standing on the mountainside.
"Pfft!" The golden liquid spurted out from the spot where the spirit snake struck the Golden Feather Yin-Yang Bee Queen's abdomen, thanks to the spirit snake's leverage. The queen bee then wrapped her wings around her body, shrinking her entire abdomen into the protection of her wings.
The others, seeing the spirit snake being knocked away by the rune, knew how powerful the rune was, and began to avoid the bronze wall as they jumped to dodge.
As the tremors continued, more and more of the bronze walls were revealed, and a huge bronze cauldron began to take shape. The swirling power slowly gathered, separating the inside of the valley from the outside world.
When the black gecko appeared in the bronze cauldron, it suddenly accelerated and jumped upwards, trying to leap out of the cauldron's mouth before it closed.
"Buzz!"
A powerful restraining force rose from the black desert inside the cauldron.
"Crack!"
At the mouth of the cauldron, runes connected in mid-air, forming a large golden net that sealed off the top of the bronze cauldron.
"when!"
The black gecko crashed straight into the net, making a metallic clanging sound, before plunging into the black desert, its blood gushing out in the sand.
"Whoosh!" The black-gold gecko shot out of the black sand, but was bound by strange forces, and jets of blood shot out.
"Bang!" The black gecko that had been entangled suddenly grew larger, its massive body breaking free from the ground's restraints. It leaped up and landed on a huge rock nearby, no longer daring to move easily.
At this point, the closing of the large cauldron was nearing completion.
The queen ant stood on a large banyan tree, staring intently at Xiao Jiu outside. She knew that once the cauldron closed, she would have to fight to the death. But it was her own choice. Success or failure, she had no regrets!
Xiao Jiu's body, glowing with golden light, blocked the final exit of the cauldron, but none of them dared to cross that line.
Ning Xiaoxi stood up without realizing it. It turned out that it was not a valley, but a huge bronze cauldron hidden by a valley.
[The Limitless Cauldron!] Tuanzi's body floated beside Ning Xiaoxi, gazing at the massive bronze cauldron alongside her. [A supreme treasure of the demon race, coveted by many powerful humans yet never attained.]
"boom!"
The cauldron was completely sealed, and the ten Gu Kings were sealed inside.
Xiao Jiu's body was now as thick as a bucket and about ten zhang long. It crawled and swam nimbly, climbing up the solemn and majestic bronze wall towards the top of the cauldron. After Xiao Jiu reached the top, the cauldron began to shrink along with its body, and the shape of the Wuji Cauldron gradually became clear.
The Wuji Cauldron today is in the shape of an ancient, round cauldron, over ten feet tall, with a mouth diameter of eight feet. The cauldron is cast from a strange alloy bronze, the surface of which seems to have countless stars twinkling and flowing. Upon closer inspection, these starlight are actually interwoven with extremely fine runes, which seem to have a life of their own, constantly flashing and moving, exuding a mysterious and powerful aura.
The cauldron's handles are shaped like two ancient, coiling dragons. Their eyes are inlaid with blood-red gems, like burning flames, and their mouths are wide open, revealing sharp fangs as if roaring. The dragons' scales are incredibly lifelike, each radiating a ghostly light, seemingly containing boundless power.
The tripod's legs are three enormous hooves of a Qilin beast, which seem to suppress everything as they tread the ground. The surface of the Qilin hooves is engraved with ancient defensive runes, which emit an earthy yellow light that echoes the starlight on the tripod's body, giving it an indestructible feel.
Xiao Jiu's body had shrunk to its original size, perched atop the cauldron, pressing down on it as it silently floated in mid-air. The valley had vanished after the Wuji Cauldron appeared, leaving only a huge, dark crater. The golden dome above covered this small patch of land, preventing any risk of information leaking out.
