Chapter 633: The Cauldron

Chen Long charged forward, the Sword Qi of Ling Tianhou coalescing on his right hand. With a point of his finger, the Sword Qi coiled around his finger, radiating an intimidating force.

Wang Lin's pupils constricted. He had noticed earlier that the Ling Tianhou Sword Qi Chen Long wielded felt somewhat off. The moment this Sword Qi appeared, he immediately felt a sense of dread and unease.

"This is Ling Tianhou's life-bound Sword Qi, its power is immense!" Zhou Yi's voice transmitted into Wang Lin's mind.

A glint flashed in Wang Lin's eyes. He halted his movement, no longer attempting to seize the token. He held his Immortal Art ready but did not release it, coldly watching Chen Long.

Chen Long was extremely fast, arriving beside the token in the blink of an eye. Delight shone in his eyes. Though he didn't know what this token was, if it was something Wolf Greed valued so highly, it must be a rare treasure!

However, the instant his large hand reached for the token, Wolf Greed's roar erupted once more from within the Mosquito Beast swarm: "Junior Chen Long, I'll kill you!! Three Forms of Death Devouring!!"

Wolf Greed's voice, like a rolling thunderclap, materialized into a series of ripples that actually managed to pierce through the Mosquito Beast swarm, bypass Wang Lin, and rush straight towards Chen Long.

A cold glint flashed in Wang Lin's eyes as he immediately retreated several steps. He saw the roaring ripples emerge from the Mosquito Beast swarm and solidify in mid-air, transforming in an instant into a small figure, completely crystalline and translucent!

This figure's appearance bore no resemblance to Wolf Greed, yet it carried Wolf Greed's dense aura.

"Second Primordial Spirit!" Wang Lin stared at the small figure, taking a deep breath.

Wolf Greed's fury was so intense it nearly burned his heart. Forced into a corner, he had no choice but to release his Second Primordial Spirit. However, his main body remained trapped within the Mosquito Beast swarm. The seven silver needles spun rapidly around his body, allowing him to hold on for a short time, but not for long!

The Mosquito Beasts' bodies were extremely tough, especially their mouthparts, which were like refined iron. That alone would be troublesome enough, but these Mosquito Beasts seemed unkillable. Every time one was killed, it would immediately transform into a red mist and retreat. In an instant, the red mist would coalesce, and the supposedly dead Mosquito Beast would be restored. Though slightly weakened, it would still pounce forward with a fierce gleam in its eyes.

As soon as the small figure appeared, it transformed into a streak of lightning. Its hands formed Hand Seals, and streams of black Divine Thunder materialized around its body, like meteors, all hurtling towards Chen Long's location.

Chen Long's expression changed. If he didn't retract his right hand reaching for the token now, he would surely be struck by the countless Divine Thunders. But if he gave up, all his efforts would be for nothing!

"I'll risk it!" Chen Long gritted his teeth and immediately flung out the Ling Tianhou Sword Qi in his hand. The Sword Qi crisscrossed, shaking heaven and earth. Even the walls of the chasm rumbled with deafening roars under its sweeping force. Countless rocks and dust were stirred up, forming a haze of earth that scattered.

The Divine Thunders released by Wolf Greed's Second Primordial Spirit, upon their descent, were intercepted one by one by the crisscrossing Sword Qi, exploding and collapsing in succession, generating powerful shockwaves that spread in all directions.

Wang Lin's Life and Death Seals in his brow overlapped. He retreated with his body, but his gaze remained sharp and focused.

Having released his Master Ling Tianhou's Sword Qi, Chen Long grabbed the token without hesitation. A flash of wild joy appeared in his eyes as he shot up from the ground, charging straight forward, intending to escape.

Wolf Greed's Second Primordial Spirit howled with rage, wanting to give chase. However, Ling Tianhou's Sword Qi was too powerful. Moreover, it carried a wisp of Chen Long's consciousness, which manipulated it to repeatedly block the Second Primordial Spirit's path. With each sweeping motion, it forced the Second Primordial Spirit to retreat continuously. The Second Primordial Spirit dared not touch the Sword Qi. If it were struck, it would surely be severely injured. It could only wait for the Sword Qi to dissipate before pursuing.

Trapped within the Mosquito Beast swarm, a flash of decisiveness and heartache appeared in Wolf Greed's eyes. He immediately made up his mind, slapping his Storage Pouch with his right hand and retrieving an object! It was a piece of sandalwood incense, only the length of a finger!

As soon as this object appeared, a fragrance wafted out. This sandalwood incense seemed unremarkable at first glance, almost like a mundane object from the mortal world. Yet, profound heartache filled Wolf Greed's eyes!

"You juniors, forcing me to use the Immortal Realm's supreme treasure, the Heavenly Confusion Incense! I will definitely tear you to pieces!!" Wolf Greed gritted his teeth, swiped his left hand over it, and immediately the incense ignited, a wisp of azure smoke curling upward.

This smoke was bizarre. As it dispersed, though thin, it formed a cloud of mist. Suddenly, it enveloped all the Mosquito Beasts. Simultaneously, Wolf Greed, taking advantage of the mist, finally broke free from the Mosquito Beast swarm. With extreme speed, he stepped upon the mist and chased after Chen Long.

"Senior Wolf Greed, Fellow Daoist Wang Lin, I'll be taking this token. My thanks!" Chen Long laughed heartily, having already spotted the distant exit.

A cold smile appeared at the corner of Wang Lin's mouth as he stared at Chen Long's distant figure. His gaze held an obscure light as he silently uttered in his mind: "Halt!"

The might of a Low Grade Immortal Art, locking heaven and fixing earth! The chasm was instantly enveloped by a strange force. If a true great Divine Ability Cultivator were to look, they would see countless fine threads suddenly appear in the Void Realm. Almost instantly, these threads entangled the entire body of Chen Long, who was in mid-flight.

Chen Long only felt his body jolt to a stop. Instantly, even his Primordial Spirit was forcibly halted. Not only that, the Immortal Power within his body ceased circulating, as if solidified!

In that split second, his entire person became motionless. The token in his hand fell!

Wolf Greed was overjoyed. The mist he had released immediately spread, enveloping Chen Long in the blink of an eye. He himself charged straight for the token.

At that very moment, Wang Lin moved. The sword housing Zhou Yi was beneath his feet, carrying Wang Lin in a sudden charge! The speed of the Immortal Sword was too fast, so fast that even Wolf Greed's expression changed!

"Wang Lin, you are not qualified to snatch treasures right before my eyes!" Wolf Greed was very close to the token. His right hand reached out, seemingly about to grasp it.

A glint flashed in Wang Lin's eyes as he softly uttered: "Halt!"

Wolf Greed's body jolted to a stop. Although he recovered immediately, the fine threads entangling him in the Void Realm all shattered, that mere pause was enough. Under the speed of the Immortal Sword, Wang Lin abruptly closed in. Under Wolf Greed's bulging eyes, Wang Lin grabbed the token, sweeping past Wolf Greed.

"Wang Lin!!! How dare you steal my treasure!!" Wolf Greed's eyes turned crimson as he roared and charged out madly.

By now, Chen Long had recovered. His expression was dark. Trapped within the mist, he formed Hand Seals with both hands, wanting to break through and escape. However, hindered by the smoke, he was unable to break free.

The location of the three was very close to the exit of the Fire Demon County. Now, borrowing Zhou Yi's speed, Wang Lin charged and reached the exit in one go. From this position, the sunlight from outside was already shining in.

Wolf Greed was nearly driven mad with rage. Roaring, he slapped his Storage Pouch, and a large cauldron flew out from within!

This cauldron was taller than a person, pitch black all over, carved with countless runes and beast shapes. It even emitted a trace of primordial aura.

"Heaven and Earth reverse, sky and land turn over!" Wolf Greed's voice roared out!

The cauldron trembled, and a black light erupted from within. In an instant, this black radiance illuminated heaven and earth. At that moment, it was as if the world had turned upside down. The sky became the earth! The earth became the sky!

The figures of Wang Lin, Chen Long, and Wolf Greed instantly swapped positions. Originally, Wang Lin was at the forefront, but now he was in Chen Long's position, enveloped by the mist.

As for Chen Long, he appeared where Wang Lin had been before. He was stunned for a moment, his heart and gall both shattered with fear. Without a word, he directly charged out, rushing straight for the exit.

He was terrified. He never expected Wolf Greed to possess such an inconceivable Magic Treasure. This Magic Treasure was too powerful! It could actually reverse heaven and earth! At the moment he swapped places with Wang Lin, he felt an irresistible Divine Might. Compared to that Divine Might, he himself was utterly insignificant.

"This Wolf Greed truly lives up to being a powerhouse of the same generation as my Master. Although his cultivation is far inferior to my Master's, since he was noticed by my Master, he must have his own astonishing aspects!"

Little did he know, Wolf Greed never went to places without treasures. Over countless years, the treasures Wolf Greed could obtain were no less than any Immortal Mansion! It's just that many of the treasures he obtained, he couldn't use himself. But this person was extremely cunning, constantly fearing others would covet his possessions. Once things looked bad, he would immediately flee.

Wolf Greed panted heavily, suddenly turned his head, and stared at Wang Lin, who was enveloped by the mist. With a sinister laugh, he strode forward.

Wang Lin, however, gasped, staring at the cauldron, a strange light appearing in his eyes. He recognized this cauldron! Without hesitation, he placed the token into his Storage Pouch. The Immortal Sword beneath his feet hummed, transmitting Divine Thought from Zhou Yi within.

"What a powerful Magic Treasure, Wang Lin, protect yourself!"

The Immortal Sword housing Zhou Yi flashed, and a sharp Sword Qi whistled out, erupting from the sword. The Immortal Sword spun rapidly, forming a storm of Sword Qi. Under its impact, the mist trapping them began to expand continuously. Zhou Yi shouted loudly: "Open!"

With a bang, a gap exploded at the edge of the mist. The Immortal Sword charged out. A glint flashed in Wang Lin's eyes as he stepped forward and rushed out with great speed!

"This person's cultivation is ordinary, but his collection of Magic Treasures is bizarre and unpredictable. How on earth did he obtain so many Magic Treasures!" After breaking free, Zhou Yi thrust his sword towards Wolf Greed.

A brilliant light burst from Wolf Greed's eyes. He retreated, then slapped his Storage Pouch again. This action of his not only caused Zhou Yi's sword to pause, but even Wang Lin, who had just rushed out of the mist not far away, felt his heart skip a beat.

"Wang Lin, I should thank Situ Nan. If not for him, how could I have stayed on that forsaken Vermilion Bird Star for ten thousand years? Without these ten thousand years, I wouldn't have been able to comprehend many of the Magic Treasures I couldn't use before!" As Wolf Greed raised his right hand, a folding screen appeared in his grasp.

With a toss, the screen immediately enlarged, transforming into a size of ten zhang in the blink of an eye. On it was painted a landscape in light ink, with clouds and mist swirling, giving it a rather immortal air.

"I never found the original Rivers and Mountains Painting from the Immortal Realm of old, but I discovered its imprint on this screen. For me, absorb!" Wolf Greed shouted. A massive suction force suddenly erupted from within the screen.

Zhou Yi's figure materialized from within the Immortal Sword. His expression was serious. He pointed forward with his right hand, and without hesitation, he released one of the only two life-bound Sword Qi remaining within him!

Wang Lin's expression turned grim. He immediately activated the Ling Tianhou Sword Qi within his body. His figure flickered, using the Sword Qi to clear a path, resisting the opposing force as he charged straight down into the depths of the chasm. Behind him, Wolf Greed's Second Primordial Spirit, accompanied by countless Heavenly Thunders, closely pursued.

Writing renegade immortal up to this point, for the first time, Er Gen felt the sensation of a Bottleneck. It was very vexing.
