Chapter 412: The Heavenly Demon Cauldron versus the Four Spirits Square Cauldron

The second update for the New Year! Continuing to wish all fellow Daoists a Happy New Year! Thank you all for your constant support!

The cyan mass attacking Zhang Nuo shuddered violently halfway, and suddenly changed color! The originally dazzling cyan light turned black in an instant. With this change in color, the pressure within the light mass surged to its peak. Despite being only the size of a fist, it gave the impression that it could shatter a mountain!

Zhang Nuo raised an eyebrow slightly. Is this the power of the 'Heavenly Demon Cauldron'? No wonder when Nanxuan Laozu first saw this cauldron, he acted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, letting out a long howl and rushing far away! Seeing it today, the power of this cauldron was far beyond his imagination!

At this moment, there was no time for him to overthink. He reached out and pointed at the 'Four Spirits Square Cauldron' in front of him, and immediately, a sheet of deep blue electric arcs surged out from within the Small Tripod!

These electric arcs tangled and twisted together, likewise forming an electric arc ball the size of a fist, and shot out toward the incoming black light mass!

When the two diametrically opposed forces collided, a thunderous boom erupted. This sound was completely different from the clashing of Magic Treasures; it was as if the void had collapsed, or as if a sphere that had accumulated a great deal of power had suddenly ruptured!

The boom caused the entire surrounding sky to tremble, and the numerous trees, soil, and stones below were mostly sheared away by the shockwave. Zhang Nuo's figure retreated one step after another, his face showing great surprise.

Although the attacks of the 'Heavenly Demon Cauldron' and the 'Four Spirits Square Cauldron' were powerful, they definitely shouldn't be to this extent. Could it be the power generated after the two attacks combined?

The Demon Emperor was equally astonished. Despite his confident words before attacking, seeing the current scene, he was also slightly startled. However, since he had already made his move, he could not hesitate. Glancing at Zhang Nuo in the distance, the Demon Emperor slapped the 'Heavenly Demon Cauldron' heavily, and only a soft hum was heard.

The black Small Tripod began to spin rapidly, and incomparably pure Demonic Qi began to radiate outward. Waves of Demonic Qi like water ripples set the surrounding void in motion. For a moment, the area around the Demon Emperor seemed to have turned into an ocean of Demonic Qi!

Zhang Nuo frowned deeply. He was not afraid of dealing with one Demon Emperor, but behind the Demon Emperor was Qin Xiaofeng. Although the other party had not made a move yet, who could guarantee he wouldn't launch a sneak attack? This bunch from the Great Underworld Mansion had never cared for morality! Nor did they play by the rules!

He glanced into the distance and saw that Zhou Huizheng and the others had not come over. In the brief moment Zhang Nuo was distracted, the Demon Emperor launched an even more powerful attack. Several black light beams as thick as a bowl's mouth erupted from the Demonic Qi-surging 'Heavenly Demon Cauldron'.

These light beams were like winding giant snakes, circling at the mouth of the cauldron before pouncing toward Zhang Nuo! Before the black light beams even arrived, waves of pressure like small mountains followed one after another. Until this moment, Zhang Nuo had to cast aside all his concerns. If he were to be distracted again, it would be difficult for him to withstand the Demon Emperor's attack.

Flicking his sleeves, Zhang Nuo held nothing back and directly revealed eighty Flying Swords. This was the first time he had unleashed his Flying Swords without reservation! At the same time, the six Spirit Seas within his body activated in unison, and all eighty Flying Swords were Spirit-transformed simultaneously!

The earth-shaking roar of a dragon herd echoed endlessly throughout the valley, and even the ghosts released by the 'Ten Thousand Ghost Banner' had their movements stalled! Jin Buhuan gasped; ghosts were things without self-awareness, so how could they be disturbed by the dragon roar? In his astonishment, he cast his gaze toward the high sky.

He saw dozens of Silver Dragons baring fangs and brandishing claws around Zhang Nuo's body, all charging toward the black light beams emitted by the 'Heavenly Demon Cauldron'.

The whistling of the light beams and the angry roars of the silver dragons merged at this moment; the sky trembled, and the earth was overturned! Both were the most peak forms of attack; it was truly unimaginable what the consequences would be if they collided!

But what was meant to happen would happen. Several booms rang out, and when the Silver Dragons and the black light beams collided like popping beans, the sky above the valley was almost occupied by the two colors of black and white.

Amidst the Demonic Qi, the silver dragons wove back and forth, and the Spirit Power on the silver dragons was being depleted by the Demonic Qi at a speed visible to the naked eye! Before long, the Spirit Power of a dozen Flying Swords was exhausted; they returned to their original appearance and plummeted toward the ground. Zhang Nuo flicked his sleeves, rolling out several strands of white rosy light to guide the Spirit Power-depleted Flying Swords back to his body!

At the same time, he opened his mouth wide and spat a mouthful of essence blood onto the 'Four Spirits Square Cauldron'. The Small Tripod, stained with his essence blood, shone with brilliant blue light. The heads of the four thunder-controlling sacred beasts on the four sides of the Small Tripod seemed to come alive; all four mouths opened, and low hisses actually emanated from them!

The next moment, deep blue electric arcs surged out from within the Small Tripod like a tidal wave and shot rapidly into the sky. The electric arcs, reaching several zhang in height, looked from afar like a pillar supporting the sky! The Demon Emperor was watching the clash between the black light beams and the silver dragons in front of him!

Suddenly looking up and seeing an electric arc shooting into the sky, his face couldn't help but show a slight change. It seemed Zhang Nuo had finally unleashed the maximum potential of the 'Four Spirits Square Cauldron'! Before his thoughts could finish, he saw the huge electric arc pillar suddenly divide into four segments, and with a transformation, they turned into four giant hands, each a zhang in size!

These electric arc giant hands were completely different from before. Electric arcs as thick as an arm wove together, making the giant hands even more lifelike. It was just like the hands of a real giant! As soon as the four giant hands took shape, they stretched out violently and struck heavily at the black light beams not far away!

Boom!

The void shattered, and the black light beams were completely dispersed. The dozens of Spirit-transformed Flying Swords, now freed, raised their dragon heads in unison. After several long dragon roars, the Flying Swords charged toward the Demon Emperor without the slightest hesitation!

This sudden turn of events caught the Demon Emperor off guard. He had never expected that the aggregate of Demonic Qi unleashed from the 'Heavenly Demon Cauldron' would be broken so easily!

An 'Awoo' dragon roar interrupted the Demon Emperor's thoughts. A silver dragon, a full zhang long, was pouncing toward him with bared fangs and brandished claws. The Demon Emperor could even smell the metallic scent emanating from the silver dragon! Frowning tightly, he let out a roar!

In his urgency, the Demon Emperor suddenly flipped one hand, and a Golden Brick appeared in his palm. The next moment, he unleashed the Golden Brick. Only a thunderous boom was heard as the Golden Brick struck heavily on the top of the silver dragon's head!

With a flash of silver light, the Spirit-transformed Flying Sword was beaten back to its original form and shot back into Zhang Nuo's body as a white thread. At this moment, Zhang Nuo did not feel surprised at all; if he could destroy the Demon Emperor just by relying on the Flying Swords, it would be pure wishful thinking!

Connecting his Divine Sense several times, the four electric arc giant hands based on the 'Four Spirits Square Cauldron' clenched their five fingers in mid-air, turning into four powerful fists! Whistling with the wind, they struck toward the Demon Emperor in unison!

With a cold snort, although the Demon Emperor was horrified, he felt no fear. He summoned the Golden Brick back in front of him with one hand and flicked his fingers repeatedly, casting several Dharma spells that merged into the interior of the Golden Brick!

With a surge of Demonic Qi, the Golden Brick, which was originally only a chi in size, instantly transformed to several zhang in size, like a golden wall, blocking the Demon Emperor behind it! At the same time, the four fists composed of deep blue electric arcs struck directly onto the Golden Brick!

'Boom!'

This sound resounded across the sky! Although the Golden Brick had defended against this blow, it was knocked dozens of zhang away. The Demon Emperor hiding behind the Golden Brick naturally retreated along with it! At this moment, four fist imprints were clearly visible where the Golden Brick had been struck!

Whoosh! When the Demon Emperor leaped to the top of the Golden Brick, as far as his eyes could see, a sheet of deep blue electric arcs almost covered the void in front. The four electric arc giant hands that had just struck the Golden Brick suddenly dissipated!

"Hehe! Nothing more than this!"

A smile finally appeared on the Demon Emperor's perpetually gloomy face, but his smile did not last long before it suddenly froze on his face! Because amidst the electric arcs in front, four ferocious beast heads were forming bit by bit!

These four beast heads were all in the likeness of the strongest ancient thunder-controlling sacred beasts, exactly the same as the four beast heads on the 'Four Spirits Square Cauldron'. Each beast head was a zhang in size, and although they were simply outlined by electric arcs, they were vivid and lifelike!

Zhang Nuo hovered behind the Small Tripod, his hands changing through various hand seals. Finally, he let out a long breath and looked up at the four beast heads in front! A faint smile appeared on his face!

Since obtaining this 'Four Spirits Square Cauldron', Zhang Nuo had never unleashed it with full force. Today, seeing the Demon Emperor unleash the 'Heavenly Demon Cauldron', he felt a bit stubborn and actually unleashed the Four Spirits Square Cauldron with full force. As a result, the power that the Small Tripod had not shown before was fully revealed!

These four beast heads consumed almost the Spiritual Qi of two entire Divine Seas within Zhang Nuo's body. If such a massive aggregate of Spiritual Qi could hit the Demon Emperor squarely, even if the Demon Emperor had recovered to his cultivation of yesteryear, it would not be something he could absolutely withstand!

The four ferocious beast heads suddenly opened their mouths wide, and low roars emanated from them. Waves of pressure surged toward the Demon Emperor like a landslide or a tsunami! Even the Demonic Qi surrounding the Demon Emperor began to tremble!

From the deepest part of his heart, the Demon Emperor actually felt a trace of fear! This was something that had never happened to him before! His expression became increasingly grave; he had to treat this battle seriously!

From his initial contempt for Zhang Nuo to his serious treatment now, this involuntary change greatly surprised Qin Xiaofeng below!

"Who exactly is Zhang Nuo! To actually force the Demon Emperor into this state! Very well, I have never known the secret within the 'Heavenly Demon Cauldron', let me witness it today!"

Thinking this in his heart, Qin Xiaofeng had no intention of making a move. With his hands behind his back, he just watched the two people in the sky quietly!
