With Ji Zhen at the second-level Martial Saint realm wielding the Rivers and Mountains State Cauldron, he had been able to gravely wound Long Tutian, who possessed third-level Martial Saint combat power.
If the third-level Ji Tian wielded it, how formidable would the strength become?
Of course, Ji Zhen had burned essence blood back then.
Yet the cauldron’s might could not be denied.
In dire straits, Ji Tian could likely do the same. A third-level Martial Saint burning essence blood would make the power even more terrifying.
“However, the Ji family’s dignity is not so easily challenged.”
Ji Tian finished coldly, preparing to strike.
The verdant, sombre three-legged cauldron in his hand was engraved with landscapes of rivers and mountains, ancient and solemn. As he infused power, a profound, antique aura spread.
Terrifying pressure, as though from eternity, rose from the green cauldron. Heaven and earth seemed weighed down.
Even Lin Xiao’s group over a hundred li away felt immense pressure.
The Ji family treasure was indeed horrifying.
Bang!
At that moment, from underground, the Heaven-Swallowing Demonic Disc that had sliced the formation barrier and embedded in the array altar shot out. Qing Yan caught it. Terrifying power subtly flowed within. Unmatched pressure emanated from the disc. An inexplicable sensation filled heaven and earth, as though it could swallow all.
Ji Tian’s eyebrow arched. He shouted. “Attack!”
With that, he swung the Rivers and Mountains State Cauldron, as though uprooting countless mountains. Heaven and earth seemed lifted, about to be displaced.
Hiss!
As the cauldron smashed out, within hundreds of li around the green light, illusory scenes appeared: towering peaks, surging rivers, green fields spreading.
Heaven and earth brimmed with phenomena, vivid and lifelike, as though a realm of rivers and mountains had manifested.
“One cauldron fixes the realm!”
With Ji Tian’s deep shout, a dim green beam shot from the cauldron, cleaving the sky. It gathered the power of entire rivers and mountains, carrying momentum to swallow mountains and rivers, fix the realm, shooting towards Lin Xiao’s four.
“Ji Water Style!”
Meanwhile, Ji Zhen, the eastern elder, and the western elder unleashed the Ji family’s core technique, Zhaotian Sword’s Ji Water Style.
This was the strongest attack they could perform with Zhaotian Sword.
Three sword beams shot simultaneously, following the cauldron’s power.
Though each beam was only dozens of zhang wide, like flowing water, not particularly dazzling.
Yet they contained extremely powerful Martial Saint force. Void seemed to tremble.
Water flowed through the sky, unstoppable. Wherever it passed, void pierced with hissing sounds.
Of course, the three water sword beams merely complemented behind the cauldron’s power. The strongest was the force from the Rivers and Mountains State Cauldron.
“Demonic Disc Devour!”
Opposite, Qing Yan roared. He spun, building power fully before hurling the disc.
The Heaven-Swallowing Demonic Disc spun rapidly, swelling from palm-sized to a thousand zhang. Rolling demonic qi erupted.
Pure demonic qi, as from ancient true demons. The disc’s edge razor-sharp. In rapid spin, it devoured all, cutting all. Truly terrifying.
“Nine Dragons Canon!”
On the other side, Long Tutian shouted clearly. His fists merged left and right, smashing forward. Dragon roars resounded.
Eight golden long dragons shot from his fists, materialising substantially. Dragon heads with horns, scaled bodies, formed tails, vivid.
The eight dragons coiled together, charging the dim green light from the cauldron.
Long Tutian’s strike was immensely powerful, like true dragons across the sky. Far stronger than last year against Ji Zhen.
Back then, he had only manifested seven golden dragons in Nine Dragons Canon. Now one more.
True power not just adding one. Nine Dragons Canon was Azure Dragon Gate’s core technique. Each additional dragon doubled difficulty, power increasing substantially.
“Blood Slaughter Calm Demon!”
Huo Ruyan shouted coldly. Demonic qi surged like blazing fire from her body. Blood qi soared.
Blood Slaughter Calm Demon was a cultivation method, not a specific move.
Yet activating it, any strike unleashed terrifying power.
Huo Ruyan slapped forward. A mass of blood light shot. Vast palm force swept torrents of blood qi, smashing ahead with unmatched might.
Lin Xiao did not unleash too strong a spiritual attack this time, only Holy Hand Covers Heaven.
After all, as an early seventh-grade spirit controller, his spiritual force was not boundless. He could not use Holy Hand Covers Heaven too many times.
However, his right arm had turned to stone, activating petrification power.
That petrification inherently could defeat first-level Martial Saints.
Lin Xiao, Huo Ruyan, and Long Tutian’s powers followed closely behind the Heaven-Swallowing Demonic Disc.
The thousand-zhang treasure disc struck the cauldron’s force first.
Boom hiss!
The green light was sliced horizontally. The disc cut in. Sliced green light collapsed layer by layer.
Yet it did not fully sever. Stopped by the green force, it rebounded.
But almost instantly, Long Tutian, Huo Ruyan, and Lin Xiao’s powers struck the disc, green light, and trailing water forces.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Thunder-like roars rang continuously. Rivers and mountains phenomena dissipated. Masses of dazzling light exploded. Vast sea-like energy flows surged in all directions.
More still swept towards the Ji family’s four.
Yet about forty percent rushed towards Lin Xiao’s four.
This time, Lin Xiao’s side clearly held no great advantage.
Their combined strength nearly doubled the opponent’s, plus Qing Yan’s disc.
Yet with Ji Tian wielding the cauldron, it nearly evened. One could imagine a third-level Martial Saint’s power with it.
This clash’s commotion exceeded the previous.
Lin Xiao’s four were pushed back a hundred li. The clash centre fifty li from each side. Main waves still forward. They defended first. All unharmed.
The Ji family’s four were flung two hundred li.
But this time, none injured. All protected by the Rivers and Mountains State Cauldron.
