The cauldron towered at a hundred meter high with seven legs and sixteen handles. It was created by smelting a million pound of bronze with beast runes imprinted on top. Flames channeled through this spirit treasure with the name of “Moon Mountain Cauldron”. It had appeared in the cultivation world before.
This was a third-ranked treasure with terrifying power and had killed two Giants before.
A weapon that had been missing for one hundred years showed up again today. The significance behind this was incredible. The Grand Southern Prefecture couldn’t produce a third-ranked weapon. It must be a great power from another region.
The Divine King swept his sleeve and a golden dragon flew out to attack the cauldron. It coiled around the treasure and pushed it away into the horizon.
“Even a monstrous weapon like that is here… I’m afraid the enemies have Giants at eighth-level Heaven’s Mandate.”
Giants had this t.i.tle because they were at the top of the Jin Dynasty like pillars upholding the world. This was usually the ancestor level as well.
There were disparities among Giants. However, lower-ranked cultivators weren’t privy to this knowledge and thought all Giants were insuperable.
The aura on some ancestors that have lived for centuries was boundless. A few disciples would never be able to see one in their lifetime and felt that they were immortals. Thus, how could they dare to gauge the ancestors’ power?
The truth was that the most common Giants were at the seventh level of Heaven’s Mandate. Ninety percent of all Giants were at this level.
At the eighth level, they would be considered a “Super Giant”. This type of being meditated towards the supreme grand dao and rarely partic.i.p.ated in power contention. They were few in numbers and much stronger than ordinary Giants.
At the ninth level, they were called “Paramount Giant”. There were even less of them and the majority all lived in seclusion in preparation for the Heaven Tribulation. They would only show themselves in times of true perils in the world.
Of course, there was also the “Supreme Giant”, or the “Historical Giant”. These were the historical geniuses at the ninth level with peerless battle potential. One would be hard-pressed to find them in the current generation.
After all, before the changes to the world’s momentum, only one historical genius would come out in each generation. Moreover, not all of them could reach the ninth level since half of these geniuses died young while cultivating.
“After two years, the entire dynasty is under turbulence. Places might seem calm but the undercurrents are running strong. It’s not strange for Super Giants to come out.” The Divine King stated.
The time of chaos has begun. The number one sacred ground in the world will become an empty sh.e.l.l. Not only would the young generation leave but many tower lords would do so as well. [1]
“Who attacked earlier?” Zhang Badao was no longer careless and asked in a serious manner.
The king shook his head with a solemn appearance as well: “This level of character has transcended the mortal boundary and hid quite well. However, not too many people could take out a weapon as powerful as the Moon Mountain Cauldron. I have a pretty good guess.”
These people came prepared so it won’t be that easy to scare them off.
“Rumble!” Countless holes formed in the ground. The tenth lava wave has shown itself and led the other nine waves to form a net trapping Feiyun inside.
The entrapped s.p.a.ce became smaller and hotter as the lava waves thickened.
This lava from the Earth Tribulation could melt the skin easily off a cultivator. Feiyun’s dragon-tiger energy was instantly corroded by the lava. He had to take out the ring and used its diagrams to protect himself.
This was only the tenth wave yet it had already forced him to use a spirit treasure. This was the danger of the Earth Tribulation. The stronger the partic.i.p.ate, the stronger the tribulation.
The next challenge was even more terrifying, the eleventh wave!
The majority of the eight older historical geniuses only brought about eleven waves. All of them were excellent but many nearly died from the onslaught.
Feiyun didn’t relax at all. His body tensed up with all forty divine intents in action. The moment the eleventh wave showed itself, he would take the initiative.
“Rumble!” The eleventh wave appeared just a while later.
The soil around Feiyun melted completely with the next a.s.sault.
The six diagrams protecting him were continuously pushed back!
“Yellow Earth Art!”
“Crimson Fire Art!”
Feiyun unleashed two elemental attacks in order to stop the lava.
Lava consisted of earth and fire so the two arts were meant to control the lava and turn it into his own.
The true body of the eleventh wave emerged. It looked like a ma.s.sive claw spanning rus.h.i.+ng out of the earth and tried to grab him.
