Chapter 110 The Cauldron Suppresses the False Evil
As the black tide receded, the ninth level of the Daoist temple finally shed its thousand-year-old gloom.
The golden aura emanating from the Divine Cauldron, like a celestial river spreading out, illuminated the entire space, making it both fantastical and solemn.
Lu Ming clutched the golden fur left behind by Taotie tightly in his palm. After the First Holy Lord possessed him, Lu Ming was also affected by his emotions and felt a sense of loss.
The formless void has vanished, but this catastrophe spanning millennia has not yet truly ended.
Beneath the Divine Cauldron, the pitch-black vortex was still churning weakly, and the suppressed Void Venerable was letting out an unwilling roar, the sound waves causing the array base to tremble slightly.
"Child, calm down."
The voice of the first Holy Lord resounded in Lu Ming's soul. His remnant soul had become dim and almost transparent due to possessing the body, transmitting power, and activating the Eight Formations.
"The Void Venerable's true form was locked away by the Divine Continent Cauldron for thousands of years. Only now, by burning his source, has he loosened the seal, but he is already exhausted."
"Now it is tightly bound by the cauldron chains, and the cauldron's aura is pressing down on it. It cannot even move a finger and can only be slaughtered at will."
Lu Ming raised his eyes, gazing at the towering Divine Cauldron in mid-air, and said in a deep voice, "Holy Lord, how can we completely obliterate it and eliminate any future threat?"
"With your Dao foundation as the spearhead and the Eight Formations as the power, I will use the power of the cauldron as the bridge."
With a gentle guidance from the remnant soul of the Holy Lord, the chaotic runes around the Divine Continent Cauldron suddenly shone brightly, and ten thousand golden rays spread out in front of Lu Ming, forming a path of light that led straight to the center of the cauldron.
"Your supreme foundation is the only power in this world capable of erasing nothingness from its very origin."
"The Divine Cauldron condenses the fortune of the human race, which can amplify your power ten thousand times, seep into the seal, and purify its ethereal essence little by little."
"When the two are combined, it is doomed to failure."
Lu Ming slowly stepped onto the golden road, walked to the bottom of the Divine Cauldron, and gently placed his hand on the heavy cauldron.
hum! ! !
A mysterious and profound force of fortune surged into his body through his palm, resonating powerfully with the Dao foundation of the immortal sword fragment within his dantian.
A dazzling golden light burst forth from his palm, flowing along the patterns on the cauldron and being transformed by the Divine Cauldron into a domineering purifying power.
The golden light pierced through the chains beneath the cauldron, seeped straight into the pitch-black vortex, and nailed itself to the Void Venerable's true form!
"Ugh!!!"
The Void Venerable, who had just been roaring madly, suddenly let out a shrill scream!
The power of nothingness upon which it depends for survival is being eroded little by little.
It was tightly bound by the golden chains of the Divine Cauldron, its head was pressed down by the cauldron's energy and could not be lifted, and its limbs were locked by the array's power, leaving it with no power to resist whatsoever.
It could only watch helplessly as the golden purifying light enveloped its phantom, rapidly eroding its true form!
The pitch-black vortex shrank at a visible speed, and the terrifying, semi-transparent figure of the Void Venerable twisted wildly within it. Its originally violent and overwhelming aura was being gradually eroded away.
It finally panicked and immediately issued a threatening statement, its voice hoarse, violent, and full of ferocity:
"Boy! To oppose my Void Realm, even a Saint Realm cultivator like the First Saint Lord of Heavenly Pivot met a tragic end, his soul scattered and his body destroyed. Don't you know the meaning of death?!"
"I am the Venerable One of the Chaos Sea. If I disappear, an even stronger Void Sovereign will descend to flatten the Divine Continent, refine your soul and seize your spirit, condemning you to eternal damnation, never to be reborn! May all living beings in this world be reduced to nothingness and dust!!!"
The threat of death, imbued with the strange power of cholera-like delirium, attempted to force Lu Ming to back down.
In the outside world or at ordinary times, this sound, mixed with the power of cholera-induced mental illness, can evoke the deepest fear in living beings, and ordinary people would be terrified to the point of being shattered.
But at this moment, Lu Ming stared angrily, his eyes blazing with fury. With the remnant soul of the Holy Lord possessing him, he would no longer be swayed by these emotional forces.
Lu Ming was now filled with rage: "A mad dog barking at the sun, its crime is unforgivable!"
The Void invaded the Divine Land, slaughtering the entire Tian Shu sect. Taotie endured a thousand years of hardship and ultimately sacrificed himself. The plot was designed to lure him into destroying his own foundation and breaking the seal. The details of the events are too numerous to recount.
Ning Qingxue, who was under the cauldron, was intimidated by the sound and was currently using her magic to resist with difficulty.
Lu Ming lowered his wrist slightly, urging his internal magical power to flow even faster.
The Dao Foundation continuously poured into the Divine Cauldron, causing the light of purification to suddenly intensify, while the figure of the Void Venerable dimmed even further!
Seeing that intimidation was ineffective, the Venerable One immediately changed his expression, his voice becoming low and eerie, carrying an alluring seduction:
"Young man! Do you know what a supreme treasure your Dao Foundation is?! Even the old ghost of Tian Shu cannot fathom its origin! It is a supreme origin that transcends this world!"
"I know its secret! If you stop, I will tell you all the ultimate secrets of the Dao Foundation."
"To help you master this supreme power, attain the eternal path, rule over all realms, and transcend all living beings!!"
"What are the Divine Cauldron and the Heavenly Pivot inheritance? As long as you cooperate with me, I will lead you into the void beyond the realm, to prove the Dao of Eternity, and you will become the new Supreme Being, invincible!!"
Power, secrets, eternity, supreme...
It threw away everything that all cultivators dreamed of, just to find a way to survive.
Lu Ming remained unmoved.
He never cared about Daoji's background.
"wishful thinking."
Lu Ming spoke coldly, his voice calm yet firm, and his magical power in his hands increased even further.
The golden light of purification was like oil being poured into a raging fire, and half of the Void Venerable's body was directly obliterated, and a miserable scream rang out again!
Intimidation, threats, and temptations all proved ineffective.
This once arrogant and domineering Venerable One, who had wreaked havoc on the world, finally fell into the abyss of fear and humility.
Its voice was devoid of any arrogance:
"Spare me...you brat, spare my life!!"
"I was wrong, I was really wrong! I will never dare to invade China again, I will never dare to touch you in the slightest!"
"I willingly submit to you, to be your slave for eternity, to obey your commands, to fight for you, and to do anything for you!!"
"I am the Venerable Void, with boundless power. I can conquer countless realms for you, wipe out powerful enemies for you, and bring you endless opportunities! I beg you... I beg you not to destroy me!!"
The Void Venerable, who once annihilated an entire force with a mere wave of his hand, now grovels beneath the seal like a stray dog, begging for mercy and willing to become a slave, just to survive.
"Hmph! You should just die!" Lu Ming said disdainfully.
Ning Qingxue, supporting her weak body, slowly walked to Lu Ming's side, her eyes filled with coldness as she looked at the Venerable One who was begging for mercy in a disheveled state:
"The nature of nothingness is to devour and destroy. If we spare its life today, the land will face another catastrophe tomorrow. Such evil is unforgivable."
"Since you claim to be nothingness, then I will make you utterly nothingness!"
Lu Ming's voice was cold, it was unclear whether he was speaking or the remnant soul of the first Heavenly Pivot Saint Lord: "From the moment you stepped into this world, your fate was already sealed."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Ming held nothing back!
He channeled all his power, through his Dao Foundation, into the Divine Continent Cauldron without reservation!
boom!!!
The Divine Cauldron erupted with unprecedentedly brilliant golden light, which shot straight into the sky, pierced through the nine-layered array, and illuminated the entire Tian Shu Ruins.
The cauldron's energy transformed into a boundless golden sea of fire, completely engulfing the dark vortex beneath the Divine Cauldron!
The light of Dao Foundation, like an eternal sword, pierced straight into the final origin of the Void Venerable!
"No!!! I'm not reconciled!! How can I die at the hands of a junior like you!! I'm not reconciled!!!"
The Venerable Void let out a final, desperate scream.
The sound grew weaker and weaker until it finally dissipated completely into the golden light.
Its ethereal origin was rapidly obliterated, the pitch-black vortex vanished completely, and the ferocious phantom disintegrated inch by inch, turning into specks of ethereal power that were devoured by the golden cauldron fire.
A thousand-year-old source of trouble, destroyed in a single day.
The cataclysmic event at Tian Shu has come to an end.
The golden flames slowly subsided, and the Divine Cauldron returned to calm, still suspended in mid-air, quietly guarding the heavens and earth.
The remnant soul of the first Holy Lord had faded to almost nothing, yet it carried a deep sense of relief and acceptance.
"It's over...it's all over."
"Child, you did very well, very well."
Lu Ming slowly withdrew his hand from the cauldron, the golden beast fur in his palm still warm.
He looked up at the now clean world and let out a long breath.
