326. Chapter 321: Mountains and rivers shine like the moon, all things renewed.

The radiation from the Signal Tower is not so easily dissipated; it seems to sense a resisting force below, as the radiation above other countries gradually drifts toward Great Xia.

Even if Great Xia's radiation force is devoured, new supplementation will still come, because they are all interconnected.

If someone were in space right now, they would see that all the black Qi shrouding Earth are gathering toward a certain place—that place is exactly where Great Xia lies!

All the black Qi has gathered in one place; the radiation has diminished, so the disasters in surrounding countries have become much smaller, allowing them, on the brink of life and death, to finally catch a breath.

This change was quickly caught by the relevant Space Department; although they don't know the principle behind this black Qi, it is definitely related to radiation!

"Beep beep beep!"

Looking at the huge alarm sound coming from the instruments, the scarlet exclamation marks on the screen stabbed everyone's eyes.

"What's happening!"

Hua Tiancheng slammed his fist on the table; the century-old sandalwood table suddenly cracked, and he even blurted out a rare swear word, showing how furious he is right now.

Everyone widened their eyes, their eyeballs almost popping out from shock.

"Heaven and Earth, mysterious and yellow; universe, Honghuang; Nine Provinces Immortal Cauldron; mountains and rivers unharmed!"

Such a step is indispensable; only after undergoing a genuine Thunderbolt Baptism can it be acknowledged by the imperfect Heavenly Dao of Earth.

Words cannot describe their mood at this moment; everyone looked dazed, stupidly staring at the sky, their gaze holding only the shadows of the nine great cauldrons.

"What's going on? Is another disaster coming!"

"The disaster has subsided; Great Xia can rest in peace."

"Boom!"

Now over half of the world's radiation has gathered above Great Xia; even if the Demon Master has the power to move heaven and earth, can he cope with such a startling change?

Everyone's feelings were like riding a roller coaster; after finally seeing hope for life, they discovered that what awaited them might be death!

Adding to the torment of various disasters over the past days, plus the terrifying aura of the tilting heaven and earth, their fragile nerves are constantly threatened.

However, everyone felt a force greater than before; Ye Qin perceived it more clearly, a flash of delight crossing his eyes!

The Nine Provinces Immortal Cauldron successfully underwent its tribulation; having previously devoured the black Qi and radiation, it has now become an "Immortal Weapon"!

Most importantly, Ye Qin also sensed an inexplicable fluctuation within it; he didn't have time to ponder its origin as he watched the thunder vanish, the black Qi dissipate, and the entire sky gradually turn clear and transparent.

Before anyone could react, the sky split open with a huge gap, and only a tremendous roar was heard.

Everyone gazed at the abyssal rift in the sky; at this moment, their eyes held no fear or dread, only a surge of fighting spirit and conviction!

Ye Qin also clearly sensed the change among the Great Xia populace below; though invisible to the naked eye, he could see countless points of light drifting up from their bodies.

Everyone's hearts also rose in suspense; if the Nine Provinces Immortal Cauldron were split by thunder, wouldn't the disaster return again?

Soon the sky was filled with lightning; thunder dragons roared, rampaging without cease—the scene was shocking, lightning occasionally tearing the heavens, almost blinding their eyes.

"Go!"

The residents of the cities near the Nine Provinces Cauldron felt it most deeply; they personally witnessed a series of divine signs that sustained the collapsing hall, and now, in unison, they walked out of their homes, gazing with moved eyes toward the heavens above Longyuan Mountain.

If the Space Department can detect it, how could Ye Qin not know? Almost the moment the black Qi surged, before the instruments even detected it, he had already sensed it.

Only seen, the light pillars from nine places suddenly became immensely strong, bursting forth with dazzling golden light, while the nine great cauldrons leapt out!

The ancient earth began to tremble, with a strong shock, like an earthquake, yet no one panicked, for they felt a familiar, comforting sensation within it.

Unbeknownst to them, the black Qi had already dissipated by more than half!

The staff hurriedly operated the command console, constantly pulling data for analysis; however, the data were so massive they even exceeded the machine's own load capacity.

Ye Qin thought this would be the end, but he didn't expect another mysterious force to surge in the sky again.

Some of these light points sank into the ground, converging upon the Yellow River, Mount Tai, Mount Hua, and other places where the Nine Provinces Immortal Cauldron exists, while others flew up into the sky.

"Why, why is this happening! The rift has appeared again! And it's even bigger than before!"

Now most of the Signal Tower's radiation energy has been completely absorbed by the Nine Provinces Immortal Cauldron; even any that slip through would hardly stir up any major waves.

Such a scene will be unforgettable for them for life; even years later, when they speak of this battle, they will still feel moved—but that is a story for another time.

Li Jianzhong slumped in his chair, staring blankly at the black screen, his first thought being "It's over"!

Hua Tiancheng received the news from the Space Department immediately; it was Li Jianzhong who personally came over to report.

After a while, violet thunderbolts burst forth like a World Tree in the heavens, continually falling down, yet as if they had eyes, they struck only the nine great cauldrons—highly selective, without harming innocents.

He emanated a few strands of primordial Qi.

Watching the apocalyptic scene before them, even more terrifying than before, the string of reason in their minds snapped completely; people kept breaking down, shouting, even sobbing aloud.

"Hum!"

Hua Tiancheng looked at the documents; his face turned ashen in an instant, his hand trembling as he held the papers, "Why did all this black Qi rush into Great Xia?!"

The nine great cauldrons moved in unison, swallowing countless black Qi, including the radiation of heaven and earth, like gluttonous taoties—taking in as much as there is.

This sound was deafening, reaching straight to the soul; though majestic, it also made everyone feel utterly at ease, giving a sense of security, as if protected by a father god.

"Come hit me quickly to see if I'm dreaming."

As long as they endure it, the Nine Provinces Cauldron can sublimate into immortal Qi, give birth to spirituality, and become the ultimate treasure of Earth!

Because it is dispersed across various places, the power looks fearsome but is actually spread out and reduced; now that he has broken the balance here in Great Xia, forces from elsewhere also gather, revealing their true terrifying aspect.

A True Dragon coiled around the Nine Provinces Immortal Cauldron, making the original bronze cauldron appear even more extraordinary.

"How mysterious—what kind of existence is this Demon Immortal?!"

Thick black Qi permeated the skies above Great Xia like a black mountain, pressing down so hard that people could barely breathe.

Scenes across Great Xia varied, but everyone was exhilarated, celebrating the end of the disaster and feeling the arrival of a new era.

The populace heard the endless thunder overhead, and their hearts rose and fell anxiously,

The fissures that had been filled, as the black Qi surged restlessly, showed a tendency for the world‑destroying beast to awaken again.

They had thought the situation was improving, the Demon Master had turned the tide, but they never expected this final twist!

Li Jianzhong's gaze fell to mid‑air; the sky, which had been gradually regaining light, grew dim again due to the replenishment of black Qi, ash drifting down once more, foreboding something ominous.

At the center of the nine great cauldrons, namely the direction of Longyuan Mountain, Ye Qin rose into the air and stood there; viewed from Earth's perspective, Ye Qin resembled the stars surrounding the moon, encircled by the nine cauldrons.

Thunder as thick as a water bucket fell from the sky, striking the nine great cauldrons with the force of opening heaven and earth; sparks crackled from the bronze cauldron bodies.

As it passed through various regions, citizens could see the shadow of a huge creature flash through the clouds and vanish, but before they could see it clearly, they heard a solemn voice coming from the heavens.

The ancient bell sound again drifted between heaven and earth, accompanied by a low, resonant voice that sounded like the Dao's murmuring, filled with supreme majesty, shaking heaven and earth!

"The sons and daughters of Great Xia will not retreat!"

"If we do not resist, many will die; if we resist, even more will die!"

"Was that just the voice of a demon immortal?"

The seas have turned to fields and time has flown like a white colt through a gap; this ancient land has endured much yet continues to this day, showing its tenacious vitality.

They were born on this ancient land, possessing a history of over three thousand years; the Yellow River rushes forth, the water at the origin of Chinese civilization, flowing day and night without cease, gathering into today's splendid civilization.

The sky grew overcast again, this time covering most of Great Xia's territory, with muffled sounds occasionally heard from all over the country.

"Great, we have finally survived the disaster."

The immortal cauldron hummed continuously, brilliant runes intertwining to form a powerful shield covering its surface, from which countless ancient characters and patterns emerged, appearing especially mysterious under the lightning's light.

After an unknown time, the thunder slowly dissipated; they anxiously looked up and saw the nine great cauldrons hanging in midair like suns, their light only slightly dimmer, otherwise unchanged.

Before they could feel excited, their hearts skipped again.

"It's over, this time we're really done for!"

"No, the power inside this black aura is too chaotic; our instruments cannot conduct detailed monitoring!"

His gaze became extremely worried.

After narrowly surviving the calamity, the people looked at the scene above; their smiles froze at the corners of their mouths, their eyes filled with shock and fear, unable to understand how the situation had suddenly reversed in the blink of an eye.

"Bang!"

Green light continually burst from his body, mobilizing primordial power as spiritual energy from heaven and earth streamed into it without cease.

Moreover, the radiation within it caused a piercing screech, after which the machine fell into a dead state.

The rifts in the sky grew more numerous, dense as a net covering heaven and earth, enveloping everyone's heads.

"Damn it, this isn't a trap, is it?"

Li Jianzhong took a deep breath and quickly ordered: "Continue monitoring and analyzing what's causing this! Report it to Director Hua at once!"

All the staff's attention was drawn there; looking at the changes on the satellite cloud map, they stared wide‑eyed, their faces turning deathly pale.

Those barely retaining reason silently prayed in their hearts, the Demon Master being their only hope!

Yet faced with such terror, they also grew anxious, for even if the Demon Master were immensely powerful, there is only one of him—could he withstand such fearsome power?

"Everyone is going to die!"

"I estimate the radiation in each area is roughly the same; even if there are differences, they won't be large."

Looking at the immortal cauldron surrounded by lightning, one could feel its terrifying power, but Ye Qin had no intention of intervening; this heavenly tribulation must be endured by the cauldron itself, and his interference would only make things worse.

Even as powerful energy came from the lightning, the Nine Provinces Immortal Cauldron kept resisting, for it had just swallowed a vast amount of radiation energy and was not merely for show.

But Ye Qin remained calm, the brilliant light in his eyes deepening as he faced the surging power within, showing no retreat.

Compared to humanity's anxiety and chaos, Ye Qin appeared far more composed, or perhaps he had already foreseen this scene.

Li Jianzhong voiced his speculation.

I never expected that this black aura and radiation would actually accomplish the Nine Provinces Immortal Cauldron; whenever a divine object appears, heaven and earth must show signs, just as when Ye Qin broke through his heavenly tribulation.

The stronger one's cultivation, the larger the light point.

That is a mysterious power, the fervent blood unique to the descendants of Yan and Huang.

Only a loud bang was heard; the previously intact sky again split apart, with ever more cracks appearing above, cutting the once‑whole firmament into countless abysses!

Countless ashes drifted out of the abyss, like paper money scattered across the sky, and a tremendous pressure poured forth, making everyone feel the power to destroy heaven and earth.

Can the Demon Master still create a miracle this time?

Now we finally understand the reason.

"Now that the Demon Master has cleared the radiation above us, this means a certain balance has been broken; to maintain this state, other nations' radiation will keep coming!"

Throughout Great Xia, countless people cheered excitedly; some cried while clutching their heads at home, some shouted in the streets, some stood dazed on the street with tears flowing.

They took root in this ancient land, mountains and rivers becoming their spine and blood, the Great Xia people endowed them with ancient spirit, and at this moment the nine great cauldrons all gained life!

This is also why Ye Qin originally insisted that Great Xia build these cauldrons; even with many great demons of the Longyuan Mountain Range helping, they could only assist from the sidelines and not interfere excessively.

As the staff member's words fell, accompanied by chaotic static, the display screen filled with garbled code, clearly exceeding the machine's original processing capacity.

In midair floated the nine great cauldrons, guarding the nine different directions of Great Xia and standing opposed to the endless black aura.

The moment they appeared, golden light burst forth, vast streams of brilliant light covering heaven and earth like a golden heavenly river, leaving all who witnessed it deeply shaken.

Those nearby were fortunate to see the full appearance of the great cauldron.

The bronze cauldron's body exuded an ancient aura, its engraved mountains and rivers seeming to come alive, vivid and vivid, constantly turning and flashing with an unusual brilliance.

Just moments ago he wondered why the signal tower's power was weaker than he imagined, yet it was so quickly swallowed by the Nine Provinces Immortal Cauldron's power, which really shouldn't have happened.

"We have never been defeated before, and we are not now!"

The next moment, several streams of light shot toward the direction of the great cauldron.

"Did I hear wrong? The disaster has already subsided?! Will it never happen again?"

"Is this a heavenly tribulation?!"

Soon people everywhere discovered that the nine great immortal cauldrons had another change: a flash of verdant green light came and went, bringing vigorous vitality, with nine living creatures coiling around the cauldron's body before condensing into form.

"Boom—"

The Nine Provinces Cauldron, due to various factors, underwent a rare change; even Ye Qin showed a hint of surprise.

"How could this be!"

That sound kept echoing in the heart, as if a magical power soothed all panic, turning an originally cold heart instantly into boiling fervor.

Below, everything is such a horrifying scene, let alone the Nine Venerated Immortal Cauldrons at the thunder's center; under the dense thunder, not even a shadow can be seen.

The people couldn't believe they had actually managed to endure.

Ye Qin flickered, hiding among the clouds, and flew toward each Immortal Cauldron.

The black aura had reached the skies above Great Xia, becoming visible to the naked eye; the sky was a gloomy expanse, accompanied by those terrifying cracks, with the danger of collapse looming at any moment.

Everyone heard the sound, quickly looked up at the sky, trying to locate its source.

"Boom—"

"Everything will be over soon!"

Even though the materials used are not heavenly treasures, every rune and every phrase on them condenses the heart's blood and vital essence of all the people of Great Xia, which is the symbol manifested by the Great Xia nation!

People everywhere quickly realized this thunder was different from previous disasters; it was clearly aimed at those nine great cauldrons.

"I've never seen such terrifying lightning in my life!"

This is an unpredictable anomaly.

Anyone who sees this scene will feel their scalp go numb; coupled with the ash-filled sky, the visual impact is so great it constantly challenges their psychological bottom line.

Heaven's way is constant, cycling endlessly to benefit all peoples, never ceasing.

If someone with low cultivation level gets too close by mistake, they might be struck down to nothing, not even dregs left.

"What on earth is going on! Why has the majority of the world's black aura gathered in Great Xia!"

At first, the people of Great Xia were stunned, then they all showed expressions of disbelief.

To put it bluntly, at this moment the entirety of Great Xia has become a gigantic coffin, with no one able to escape!

But actually this is not a disaster; the Nine Provinces Immortal Cauldrons are inherently extraordinary, and no one expected that after absorbing so much black aura—namely the energy radiated by the Signal Tower—it would turn misfortune into blessing, achieving sublimation and reaching an "extraordinary" state!

Although radiation is a disaster, it is also a kind of supernatural power, a product of the cosmic immortal cultivation civilization, naturally not to be trifled with.

Antlers like a deer, head like a camel, eyes like a rabbit, neck like a snake, scales like a fish—this is clearly the image of the "dragon" from ancient mythology!

No one knows who first knelt down and shouted loudly:

"The emergence of the demon immortal, mountains and rivers shining bright!"

"The new era of Earth has arrived!"

These words were like a fuse; in an instant they swept in all directions, spreading across the whole country, as humanity's brand-new history finally turned a page. (End of chapter)
