300 Obtaining a Forbidden Artifact (2)
However, a force like the Fire Lotus Valley still had a Golden Core Realm cultivator guarding it. This matter still needed to be discussed in detail and could not be too rash.
Putting this matter aside for the time being, Jiang Ming looked back and saw that Elder Hua had already turned around and fled. He turned into a streak of light and was extremely fast.
“Using a forbidden technique to escape, huh? You’re playing a dangerous game!”
Jiang Ming was calm. The spiritual energy in his body suddenly burned up. The Burning Spirit Scripture erupted with all its strength; he used the Mystic Flame Spirit Sacrifice Spell with it. He used the forbidden escape technique as well.
A sonic boom was heard in the void. Jiang Ming’s figure was like a bolt of lightning. Flames of spiritual energy surrounded his body and cut through the sky. He was approaching the figure in front of him quickly.
After breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, this was the first time he had used his full speed.
In the sky above a dense forest, Elder Hua sensed the aura rapidly approaching from behind him. He quickly turned his head and saw a dazzling flame coming toward him like a meteor. His expression changed drastically.
“How is that possible? I’ve already used the forbidden technique of burning my essence. I still have to continuously use extremely rare spirit pills to maintain my cultivation. Why is this kid faster than me? Where exactly did this monster come from?” Elder Hua trembled, and his expression was extremely ugly. He was already feeling a little uneasy.
Even the geniuses in the sect could not defeat such a monster.
“I can’t escape. I can only give it my all.” Elder Hua’s expression changed. Finally, his expression became ruthless. He stopped abruptly and turned around to stare at the terrifyingly fast figure.
With a flick of his wrist, he took out a bronze cauldron from his storage ring. It was only the size of a fist, and its body was covered in rust. There were also some holes that looked to have been the results of corrosion. It looked as if it was countless years old and would shatter with a simple touch.
The bronze cauldron emitted threads of green light that lingered around Elder Hua’s hand. As the faint light surged, threads of spiritual energy followed the green light and seeped into the bronze cauldron.
In an instant, Elder Hua’s palm lost all of its color and turned ashen. It was covered in wrinkles as if its vitality had been absorbed.
“This is something our elder dug out from the Black Rock Ruins. He spent a huge sum to refine many rare treasures before refining them into a secret treasure. It can unleash power far beyond the limit of the Foundation Establishment Realm here. However, the attack can only be used once. It’s a pity to use it on this kid. ”
Elder Hua’s expression changed. However, in the end, he gritted his teeth and injected spiritual energy into the bronze cauldron to activate it.
His life was about to be lost. Therefore, what was the use of feeling sorry for the treasure?
An ancient aura of decay suddenly erupted from the cauldron. A green light rushed out from the cauldron’s mouth, containing hundreds of thousands of runes. They were broken and filled with the same aura of decay. It was as if even those runes had been corroded over time.
At this moment, Elder Hua’s vitality was leaking out crazily and gathering toward the bronze cauldron that was emitting light. He seemed to have aged by decades. His face was covered with wrinkles and his eyes became cloudy.
At the same time, a slight cracking sound seemed to come from Elder Hua’s body. His expression immediately became extremely ugly. The origin of his spirit base had been absorbed by the bronze cauldron and was now damaged.
A damaged spirit base was one of the most serious injuries for a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator. It was more terrifying than any physical injury, and the cultivator might not be able to ever fully recover.
This also showed how terrifying the bronze cauldron was. Even though it had already accumulated energy, just the activation of the refinement was enough to exhaust the vitality of a cultivator at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
“B*stard, die!”
Elder Hua’s eyes were filled with madness. At this moment, the bronze cauldron had finally been completely refined. Waves of light rose and enveloped the entire cauldron. A terrifying power spread out and was suddenly unleashed by him.
The green light swept across the sky and flew out with the bronze cauldron, heading toward Jiang Ming.
Wherever the bronze cauldron passed, the grass and trees below instantly withered, and the mountain rocks turned into gravel. Everything seemed to be corroded, and their vitality was completely devoured by the bronze cauldron. They turned into wisps of green light that fused into it, making it even more powerful.
In the dense forest, a huge snake was slowly slithering through the trees. Its aura was comparable to that of a cultivator at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm. At this moment, its scales seemed to suddenly tighten. It felt great terror and was about to escape quickly.
However, a green light flashed across the sky and shone on its body. Immediately, the huge snake’s body rapidly withered. In the blink of an eye, it died.
Jiang Ming’s figure also stopped abruptly. He looked at the green light that swept over with a surprised expression.
The bronze cauldron did not seem to have much destructive power. However, it seemed to be able to devour all life force. It was definitely an incomparably terrifying killing weapon.
“Be careful!” Even the black sword cried out in surprise. It could sense an unusual aura from the bronze cauldron.
“Spirit Restriction Seal!”
Jiang Ming struck out six different seals in a row. He drew a rune array in the void and turned into a stream of light that suppressed the bronze cauldron.
