Chapter 315: The Taste of Wrath

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The next day, Jiang Li went to work as usual and secretly did something to those rune bricks when no one was paying attention.

Although he still needed to add an extra step when drawing runes, his speed still far exceeded others.

However, this time, he did not immediately hand over the bricks. Instead, he secretly transferred the finished bricks to the other resistance cultivators hiding nearby.

This way, he would not arouse suspicion by handing over too many black bricks in a day.

Master Bitter would come over from time to time to take a look. He was the greatest threat in the plan.

However, every time this happened, the array formation that was heating the entire cauldron would suddenly fluctuate. It was either too cold or too hot, causing him to be unable to care about anything else.

This was because the main force providing spiritual qi to the array formation were the captives from the Rock Mountain Range captured in the battle.

They were trapped in the underground cell, squeezing out spiritual qi every day to provide enough fierce spirit fire.

Huyan Long’an’s reputation in Blackstone City was not low. He used the spirit stones he had accumulated in the past to bribe some prison guards to go in and communicate with the captives inside.

As long as he sent a secret signal, the captives below would increase or reduce the output of their firepower.

They had the most people, so when they exerted strength together, it would cause obvious fluctuations in the temperature of the spirit fire.

If he did not adjust it in time, the entire refinement might be destroyed.

This was their way of diverting attention.

It was troublesome and effective.

Under the condition of maintaining safety, they could probably mix 30 bricks with problems in the huge cauldron every day.

The working period was getting closer and closer, so they could barely make up 200 in total.

During this period of time, Jiang Li had asked Huyan Long’an about the exact situation of the Blood King Cauldron and obtained some useful clues from him.

Just as Jiang Li had thought, the goal of creating this huge cauldron was to gain the Blood King Crown’s gradual recognition.

The Blood King Crown was left behind by a rebel prince from the cultivation dynasty 7,000 to 8,000 years ago. It contained the aura of a blood flood dragon and could control tens of millions of blood soldiers.

They had forged this huge cauldron to refine the ten million blood soldiers.

Once the huge cauldron was refined, the survivors in Blackstone City would definitely be thrown into the cauldron and become blood soldiers.

Then, as the trump card army of the Myriad Slaughter Sect, they could become an unceasing army.

If he did not stop them, the Great Mountain Region would probably be the first target of this army.

Therefore, if the resistance cultivators of the Rock Mountain Range wanted to stop all of this, Jiang Li had to stop it.

As the black bricks fused together, the Blood King Cauldron was finally completed before the deadline.

The cauldron was clearly made of metal nails, but there was no trace on the surface.

Now, they were only one step away from awakening the spirit.

But before that, some people will be sacrificed.

After the last brick was added, all the Runic Array Masters were chased out of the venue.

Then, the temperature of the entire venue began to rise.

Before putting out the fire and awakening the spirit, they had to burn the entire cauldron red and unify the runes.

Not far away, Huyan Long’an, who was hiding in the crowd, had an ugly expression.

This was because the energy needed to push the array formation to the limit would suck all the fire-attribute cultivators in the dungeon dry.

They were destined to not be able to wait for help.

“Master Bitter, you’ve done well.”

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from behind.

Jiang Li seemed to have turned into a helpless child. A ferocious beast passed by him, causing his body to instinctively tense up and practically be unable to move.

A luxurious man wearing a red crown walked over from behind him. He brushed past them, and the surrounding people stepped aside and respectfully called him Sect Master.

Jiang Li hurriedly bowed as well and did not reveal any flaws.

This was the Sect Master of the Myriad Slaughter Sect. Just from his refined appearance, it was very difficult to think that he was actually the Sect Master of a Demon Sect.

He patted Master Bitter’s shoulder.

Master Bitter habitually wanted to curse. When he saw that it was the Sect Master, he hurriedly restrained himself and changed into a smile.

Fortunately, he had completed the refinement of the large cauldron a few hours ago. If he had been a few hours late, that hand would have probably slapped his head.

Wu Fan, the Sect Master of the Myriad Slaughter Sect, was not afraid of the high temperature of the array formation in front of him at all. He walked into the array formation and reached out to grab one of the feet of the Blood King Cauldron. It was as if he had picked up a teacup as he carried the entire Blood King Cauldron to inspect it.

The scene was like an ant easily lifting a car. The exaggerated power gathered in a human’s body, looking very strange.

While they were shocked by his strength, Jiang Li and the others were worried that the other party would notice something.

Fortunately, the parts that Jiang Li had tampered with were all on the side of the brick. After it was forged into the cauldron, it was already completely covered, and it was utterly impossible to notice with the naked eye.

Wu Fan nodded in satisfaction. In the end, he did not see any problem.

With a bang, the crimson cauldron was placed back on the ground.

The Sect Master of the Myriad Slaughter Sect stretched out his hand and grabbed, and a pitch-black shadow was captured from afar.

When they were far away, it did not look like much, but when the thing approached, Jiang Li realized that compared to it, even a train seemed so slender and short.

“Holy Spirit!”

Not far from Jiang Li, Huyan Long’an’s voice was almost suppressed as he gritted his teeth.

The huge snake that was covered in scales like black jade was the faith of the cultivation world of the Rock Mountain Range. Before they became stronger, it had protected the humans here. Now, it was killed and its corpse was played around like this.

Any cultivator from the Rock Mountain Range would be furious when they saw this.

He suppressed the anger in his heart and took two steps to Jiang Li’s side.

“You better leave quickly. Tonight, there will be a huge mess here!”

He stuffed a special snake scale into Jiang Li’s hand, and then he left with the others.

He was going to the dungeon to rescue the captives.

The snake scale was the key to finding the Dragon Pearl. This fellow kept his promise. Jiang Li originally thought that he was just bluffing him, but he did not expect that he would actually fulfill his promise at this moment.

A large saber suddenly appeared in Wu Fan’s hand. He casually waved it twice, and the huge snake body that was coiled in the air was cut into more than a hundred pieces.

A large amount of snake blood splattered down from the sky and landed on the red Blood King Cauldron.

The snake blood instantly vaporized on the high temperature metal surface, rising into a thick fog that blocked his vision.

The essence seeped into every part of the cauldron through the blood quenching.

The surrounding spiritual qi surged over crazily and entered the huge gap in the huge cauldron to fill it up.

The Blood King Cauldron’s estimated grade was Earth-rank. The amount of spiritual qi needed was definitely an astronomical figure. The surrounding earth veins were not gathering, so the spiritual qi in the air was completely emptied in a short period of time.

Regarding this, the Myriad Slaughter Sect was already prepared.

A large number of medium-grade and high-grade spirit stones were poured into the large cauldron. They had occupied the Rock Mountain Range region and had plundered countless spirit stones and treasures.

Under the high temperature that had yet to dissipate, these spirit stones were directly refined and exploded. A large amount of dense spiritual qi surged out from within, continuously filling the needs of the Blood King Cauldron.

Then, the huge snake corpse that had been cut into more than a hundred pieces was thrown into the cauldron.

A transparent snake shadow appeared from the snake’s corpse, but it was captured by the Blood King Cauldron and struggled and roared in the cauldron.

At the same time, a blood flood dragon emerged from the Blood King Crown above Wu Fan’s head and roared at the huge snake below.

He wanted to forcefully refine the guardian spiritual beast of the Rock Mountain Range into the artifact spirit of the Blood King Cauldron. This would allow the Blood King Cauldron’s power to rise to a higher level.

However, no one noticed that in this huge cauldron, as the snake blood seeped in, 200 runes that were identical to the black snake’s vertical pupils were ignited one after another.

Today was the night of the full moon, but the moon that rose today was especially bright red compared to usual.

At this moment, a red bolt of lightning suddenly rose into the sky. Something abnormal happened in the dungeon not far away.

At this time, the commotion was clearly caused by Huyan Long’an and the others.

However, their actions surprised Jiang Li. A group of heavily injured and unarmed captives was definitely not a match for the Myriad Slaughter Sect in a head-on battle.

With the geographical advantage, they should have quietly fled. How could they be discovered so easily?

Sure enough, a cloud-piercing arrow shot out. A large number of cultivators from the Myriad Slaughter Sect gathered in the city rushed to the dungeon and caught all the cultivators who were about to escape.

The captives who had escaped entered battle, but it did not take long before they were all suppressed.

Then, they were locked in more than ten large iron cages and pulled together.

“Sect Master, this group of captives wants to escape. We’ve already captured them and are waiting for your punishment.”

Each large iron cage was squeezed with more than a hundred captives. Together, there were at least a thousand of them.

After they were captured, they had already been tortured several times. This time, they were captured again, and their bodies carried many heavy injuries.

Many captives were missing arms and legs. Thick blood kept flowing out from the iron cage, leaving a trail of red behind.

“It wouldn’t have been your turn so early.”

“But it’s nothing. Don’t worry, none of you can escape. After you die, you will become my strength and fight for your enemies.”

Wu Fan’s voice sounded from the sky. The blood flood dragon phantom above him also turned around and looked over.

The blood flood dragon phantom continued to extend as it bit down on a large iron cage.

The shadow pulled the large iron cage and hung above the Blood King Cauldron. Then, its teeth tore apart the iron cage, and hundreds of injured captives were poured into the Blood King Cauldron that was surging with spiritual qi.

Their Dao Bodies were utterly unable to endure such refinement, and they quickly transformed into a pool of blood while their souls and the huge snake rolled painfully in the cauldron.

“Come on, bastard! Kill us! I won’t let you off even if I die!”

“Even you cowards want us to lower our heads! Wait another ten thousand years!”

To Jiang Li’s surprise, the group of cultivators from the Rock Mountain Range were not afraid at all when facing the Myriad Slaughter Sect. They even cursed at the surrounding cultivators.

They felt that even if they died, their blood would be spilled on the enemies.

However, the Myriad Slaughter Sect, whose members had killed three to four people at least, had long gotten sick of hearing such words like begging for mercy before death.

They were completely unmoved, only feeling that it was noisy.

Iron cages were continuously thrown into the cauldron. The wailing souls and snake bodies entangled together and finally became what the Myriad Slaughter Sect wanted.

It seemed that the Myriad Slaughter Sect’s plan was going very smoothly.

The Rock Mountain Range cultivator’s early escape plan had already failed.

However, among the thousand plus captives, Jiang Li did not see Huyan Long’an and the others.

Did they abandon their companions and escape?

In addition, the expressions of these cultivators who were unafraid of death made Jiang Li feel very strange.

It was as if they could not wait to die in the huge cauldron.

Jiang Li’s doubt did not last long. The blood moon in the sky was so red that it seemed like blood was about to drip down.

Just as the blood moon rose to the highest point, the hour arrived.

A vertical eye suddenly reflected on the crimson moon.

The huge snake phantom in the Blood King Cauldron also stopped struggling.

The thousand plus wailing souls beside it no longer pretended. They laughed and stood up, pouncing at their Holy Spirit.

“Damn the Myriad Slaughter Sect! You’ve been tricked!”

“Sacrificing my remnant soul, the Holy Spirit will not die!”

“Long live the Rock Mountain Range!”

Due to the fact that it was actively fusing, the thousand souls did not have any obstruction as they entered the body of the Holy Spirit Snake.

After absorbing the souls of more than a thousand cultivators, the snake phantom began to swell rapidly. Furthermore, with the help of the energy in the Blood King Cauldron below, the snake was recovering its former power.

The 200 vertical eye runes in the Blood King Cauldron lit up. The incomplete artifact lost control at this moment.

The vertical pupil rune personally carved by Jiang Li was the totem symbol of this Holy Spirit Snake.

Hiding them in the cauldron was equivalent to opening 200 back doors for the Holy Spirit to control the cauldron.

In the dungeon just now, these more than a thousand captives did not really want to escape. They had caused a commotion and were deliberately courting death.

Due to the fact that the Holy Spirit’s corpse had been exposed for too long and its soul had been severely injured, it might not have the ability to resist the power of the Blood King Cauldron.

Therefore, after knowing Huyan Long’an’s plan, they very bluntly agreed to sacrifice themselves to allow the Holy Spirit to recover as much as possible.

The reason why they created a commotion and angered the Myriad Slaughter Sect was to let Wu Fan throw them into the Blood King Cauldron in advance.

They knew the power of the Myriad Slaughter Sect better than anyone else. It was easier said than done to rescue the captives trapped in the city.

They had to have a sufficiently powerful existence to temporarily delay Wu Fan and cause the entire Blackstone City to become chaotic before they had the chance to save him.

Therefore, the Holy Spirit was their only chance.

“Myriad Slaughter Sect! Wu Fan! Have a taste of the wrath of the Rock Mountain Range!”

The red cauldron suddenly shook. The huge snake phantom spoke and roared as it pounced at the Myriad Slaughter Sect Master.

The shock wave from the explosion sent everything flying.

Under the Blood Moon’s vertical eye, it immediately turned into ruins. Even a building made of black stone could not withstand such an impact.

Jiang Li was blown flying as well, and he landed in a ruin.

When he got up again, he discovered that his surroundings were already in chaos.

He took out a resplendent blood-colored lotus flower from the coffin.

“Hmm, I’ll let you have a taste of the wrath of the Great Mountain Region too.”
