Immortal Cauldron

"How could Dao Shi be this powerful?!" a Forbidden Zone Supreme cried out.

"Unheard of through the ages. He can rival Emperor Zun!" A Supreme from the Immortal Mausoleum blazed with divine light in his eyes as he recalled the man from the end of the Mythic Era.

The Supremes' expressions changed drastically. Emperor Zun had founded the Heavenly Court and ruled the entire universe. Even Imperial Dao Figures had served under him! He was supreme among emperors!

"A grave threat..." In the Undying Mountain, a Supreme watched Meng Chuan, his voice cold.

"If not for these four Supremes from the Outer Regions, we would be the ones in trouble later."

"Dao Shi has been a Great Emperor for only a thousand years, yet he already has such combat power. If he lives into a second life..."

At the thought of what would follow, every Supreme fell somewhat silent. None wanted to admit it, but against Meng Chuan alone, not one of them was likely to win! And that was before his second life.

Worse still, Meng Chuan was a Great Emperor of the Human Race! The odds of him living in peace with the forbidden zones were far too slim!

"He faces four alone. From what I can see, that old Supreme at his peak was scarcely weaker than Dao Shi. Dao Shi is bound to suffer a calamity today!"

"Who knows what dreadful calamity those four suffered? Their bodies are terrifyingly depleted."

"No need to interfere. With all four attacking, even if Dao Shi defies heaven and wins, it will be a bitter victory. Then we can..."

"Exactly. When that time comes, even Emperor Zun reborn could do nothing!" a Supreme declared.

The Forbidden Zone Supremes were right in their assessment. Among the four Supremes from the Outer Regions, Kungu also possessed Heavenly Emperor-level combat power. Without him holding Meng Chuan back, the other three were merely ordinary Great Emperors. With their life essence now close to exhaustion, Meng Chuan could kill them with a turn of his hand!

Moreover, the four Supremes cultivated a system other than the method of taking one's body as the seed, and it held mysteries of its own.

The fierce battle raged on. Both sides were covered in wounds.

The four Supremes from the Outer Regions had battered bodies, and even their primordial spirits had dimmed. Their Origin had nearly been worn away in the Boundary Sea, only for them to encounter a powerful foe here. Even their foundations were on the verge of being shaken!

Meng Chuan fared slightly better. The four were not at their peak, after all. Blood bloomed across his Emperor Body, and several bloody holes pierced his shoulder and chest, though they were healing. Even a Heavenly Emperor's body had been wounded. That alone showed how brutal the battle was.

"Dao Shi, stop here, and we can leave this universe!" Kungu shouted. He did not want to fight any longer. If he lost his Origin, the Immortal Path would be closed to him.

"Damn him. His combat power has reached the pinnacle. He can already trigger the Immortal Ascension Tribulation!" An Xuan said bitterly. Triggering the tribulation was one thing; surviving it was another.

"In the Dharma-Ending Age, with the universe itself incomplete, where could he trigger the Immortal Ascension Tribulation?"

"Supreme figures in a universe like this cannot become immortals. With no hope of eternal life, they can only keep raising their combat power! But Dao Shi is too absurd!" Yu Qiong could scarcely understand it. Dao Shi was fighting four opponents, one of them his equal, yet he still held the advantage!

"You come when you please and leave when you please. What do you take this place for? You beat me up. Did you think I'd let that go so easily?!" Meng Chuan roared.

Kungu and the others nearly spat blood at Meng Chuan's words. We beat you up? Didn't you beat us up too? Who hit whom harder?

You took on all four of us by yourself. Haven't you gotten more than your money's worth?!

"If you refuse to let us leave, Dao Shi, then we'll shatter like jade and stone together!" Ruthlessness flashed in Kungu's eyes as he made his decision.

Clang!

A great cauldron appeared above the heads of the four Supremes from the Outer Regions. Within its mouth, a universe seemed to be born and destroyed. It crushed the heavens in every direction, and its ringing froze spacetime and threw the ages into chaos.

"A mere artifact—even if it's an Immortal Artifact, can it truly defy heaven?!" Meng Chuan shouted, though deep in his eyes, his gaze was grave.

Hum!

A Jade Disc appeared in Meng Chuan's palm. The aura of the Great Dao spread from it, as though from the dawn of creation, the very beginning of the Great Dao.

It was Meng Chuan's Emperor Weapon, the Great Dao Jade Disc!

"Hmph. What use is a mere Supreme's weapon now?" An Xuan said coldly. Had Meng Chuan brought it out earlier, it might have caught them by surprise.

Ignoring An Xuan, Meng Chuan tossed the Great Dao Jade Disc. The disc cut across the void, carving boundless Dao traces.

Boom!

A figure flew backward. It was not one of the four Supremes, but the Stone Fetus Saint Spirit!

"I haven't forgotten you. If you weren't still useful, you would have died before those four came out." Meng Chuan looked at the Stone Fetus Saint Spirit. "For now, my Emperor Weapon can play with you."

As they watched the Great Dao Jade Disc hammer the Stone Fetus Saint Spirit, the universe fell speechless. Since when could an Emperor Weapon fight a Great Emperor-level figure head-on?

"Dao Beginning Great Emperor is invincible. He fights four emperors alone, and even his Emperor Weapon can battle a Great Emperor. Perhaps he can be called a Heavenly Emperor now..."

A Quasi-Emperor sighed. Looking across all of ancient history, he had never heard of such a figure.

Bang!

The Quasi-Emperor had barely finished speaking when another figure was sent flying hundreds of thousands of miles, scattering blood all the way.

At the sight of Meng Chuan flying backward, the Quasi-Emperor's expression stiffened. Something seemed amiss.

"Meng Chuan!" several Quasi-Emperors who knew him cried out. Their hearts, which had only just settled, leaped into their throats again.

"An Immortal Artifact, but one refined by power beyond that of immortals." Meng Chuan stared at the great cauldron and murmured, "A Quasi-Immortal King?" It could not have been an Immortal King. If an Immortal King had refined it—no, if an Immortal King had merely bathed the cauldron in a wisp of Immortal King aura, Meng Chuan would already be dead.

"Today, another soul will perish beneath this cauldron!" Kungu roared. He had not wanted to use it.

"A pity the supreme power within the cauldron has been exhausted. Otherwise, Dao Shi would have died just now!" An Xuan was unwilling to accept it. The Immortal Cauldron had spent too much power protecting the four of them in the Boundary Sea.

Meng Chuan could see it too. No Quasi-Immortal King power remained in the cauldron. It was now simply an Immortal Artifact refined by a Quasi-Immortal King, one that possessed extraordinary, wondrous properties.

Of course, that was remarkable enough.

Yet Meng Chuan still could not understand how these Supremes had survived in the Boundary Sea.

A single wave in the Boundary Sea could crush a Supreme. Even with an Immortal Artifact containing Quasi-Immortal King power, Meng Chuan found it inconceivable that all four had survived.

It was not as though a Quasi-Immortal King had personally sheltered them! Something must have happened along the way.

The four Supremes surrounded Meng Chuan and laid down a Peerless Grand Formation, with the Immortal Cauldron at its heart, trapping him inside.

"You won't escape today, Dao Shi, even if you sprout wings!" An Xuan shouted. The formation's aura flowed around him, greatly strengthening him, and his presence seemed to swallow the heavens.

The four had not deployed this Peerless Grand Formation earlier. Now, paired with the Immortal Cauldron, its power was formidable indeed.

Meng Chuan's aura rose and fell. Visions appeared around him from time to time: heaven and earth splitting open, universes taking shape. Each displayed his supreme might.

"I reached this day by carving my path to the imperial throne step by step through battle, not by cowering before threats! Since becoming a Great Emperor, I have yet to bathe in the blood of my equals. Today, your true blood will help me take another step forward!"

Meng Chuan's words rang out with unshakable force, shaking the Star Sea and carrying across the universe. Countless living beings trembled.

"To die at the hands of four Supremes together with a supreme Immortal Artifact—you should be proud!" The Supremes' resolve to kill Meng Chuan was firm.

Using the Immortal Artifact alone came at a great cost. How could they not want to kill him and be done with it?!
