269: Chapter 269 The Ape King is horrified when the precious cauldron is unleashed.

The edge of the chaotic Void Realm.

Violent, destructive lightning, like purple dragons of world-ending destruction, raged wildly in the bottomless darkness.

Bursts of Void Realm storms capable of tearing apart stars whistled past, leaving behind bone-chilling Void Realm rifts wherever they passed.

This area was dangerous to the extreme. Let alone ordinary Cultivators, even supreme experts of the True Immortal Realm would end up dead or injured if they carelessly touched those drifting Void Realm rifts.

As for experts of the Emperor Realm, once sucked in, they would be torn apart instantly by the violent power of the Void Realm and completely annihilated into nothingness.

Facing this forbidden zone of life, Su Xuanchen and his group did not rashly charge in.

On the cold, ten-thousand-year-old ice, the four people and three beasts sat cross-legged with extreme tacit understanding, closing their eyes to regulate their breathing.

A full three hours passed.

"Hoo—"

Su Xuanchen slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, his tightly closed eyes suddenly snapping open. Two beams of brilliant golden light, like tangible substances, erupted from the depths of his eyes, instantly illuminating the dark Void Realm within a hundred zhang in front of him.

After this period of regulating his breathing, the immortal and demonic qi in his body had completely calmed down, and his essence, energy, and spirit had all recovered to their perfect Peak state.

Beside him, Gu Hongchen, Chang Xiyue, and Ji Luanxi also opened their eyes one after another. The three women had rosy complexions, and spiritual power surged around their bodies. Even the three massive Ice Spirit Snow Apes let out low, powerful roars, clearly having made full preparations.

"Are you all ready?"

Su Xuanchen stood up, his white robes rustling in the fierce winds of the Void Realm. He swept his gaze over everyone, his tone carrying an unquestionable domineering air.

"This chaotic Void Realm is no joke, everyone keep your guard up to the maximum!"

The moment his words fell.

Su Xuanchen suddenly raised his right hand, palm facing the sky.

"Cauldron, come!"

Accompanied by a low shout, the Nine Tribulations Secret Codex within his body roared into operation.

"Hum—"

A dull, resonant sound from the cauldron, extremely ancient and seemingly spanning across eons of time, suddenly exploded at the edge of this deathly silent Void Realm!

Immediately after, an ancient and heavy supreme treasure cauldron, with the mountains, rivers, vegetation, sun, moon, and stars of All Heavens and Myriad Realms engraved on its surface, shot up from his palm and hovered above everyone's heads.

It was none other than the myriad things mother qi cauldron!

The moment this treasure cauldron appeared, a terrifying pressure capable of crushing eons poured down like mercury spilling onto the ground.

"Clatter—"

Billions of wisps of mysterious yellow mother qi, mixed with extremely pure grey-white chaos qi, cascaded down like a waterfall from the Nine Heavens, forming an absolutely indestructible defensive barrier that completely enveloped the four people and three beasts.

What was even more shocking was that after this period of frantically devouring chaos qi in the Chaos Sea, the power of this treasure cauldron was even greater than before! The Chaos immortal light flowing on the surface of the cauldron was dazzling, and even the surrounding violent Void Realm winds were crushed into nothingness the moment they touched this mother qi barrier.

The Ice Spirit Snow Ape King had originally been staring ahead into the chaotic Void Realm with a pair of scarlet giant eyes, its face full of vigilance.

But the moment the myriad things mother qi cauldron hovered above its head.

This terrifying giant beast, mountain-like in size and at the half-step True Immortal level, suddenly stiffened as if electrocuted.

It slowly raised its huge head, staring fixedly at the treasure cauldron that was cascading with endless mother qi and chaos qi.

"Hiss—"

The Snow Ape King gasped, its scarlet giant eyes instantly shrinking to the size of pinpricks, and its eyeballs almost popping out of their sockets!

"Th-this... what level of supreme treasure is this?!"

From its rough, grating throat came an extremely sharp, almost cracked, scream of horror.

As a Spirit Beast that once guarded the South Heaven Gate of the Ancient Heavenly Court, the Snow Ape King had lived for countless eras and had seen countless world-shaking supreme Immortal Artifacts.

However, in its memory, even the life-bound Immortal Artifacts held by the high and mighty Four Heavenly Emperors of the past were like a pile of scrap metal in front of this treasure cauldron!

"Too terrifying! This aura... is even more frightening than the supreme Emperor Weapon that the Empress used to suppress the All Heavens back then!"

The Snow Ape King's massive body began to tremble uncontrollably, and it looked at Su Xuanchen with a face full of horror, the shock in its heart like a magnitude-12 tsunami.

"Great Immortal! How... how could you possess such a Heaven-Defying divine object?!"

As it spoke, it swallowed a mouthful of saliva with extreme lingering fear. On its huge ape face, cold sweat poured down like a waterfall.

The Snow Ape King was now extremely fortunate!

It recalled how, back in the Extreme Cold Ice Domain, it had ignorantly activated its berserk state, attempting to fight Su Xuanchen to the death.

"Oh my god... thank goodness the Great Immortal showed mercy back then and only stepped on me a few times..."

The Snow Ape King wailed frantically in its heart, its back already soaked with cold sweat.

"If the Great Immortal had summoned this treasure cauldron back then, never mind the berserk state, even if I grew ten more heads, I would have been instantly crushed into a puddle of flesh by this cauldron! Even my Divine Soul would have been smashed to pieces!"

Thinking of this, the look the Snow Ape King gave Su Xuanchen no longer had any of the arrogance of an Extreme Cold overlord; in its place was extreme awe and submission from the deepest depths of its Divine Soul.

Gu Hongchen, standing to the side, looked at the Snow Ape King's comical, terrified appearance and sighed with deep empathy.

She stared fixedly at the myriad things mother qi cauldron above her head, her beautiful face also filled with gravity and shock.

"Big guy, your judgment is actually quite good."

Gu Hongchen said in a deep voice, making no attempt to hide her own awe of this treasure cauldron.

"The power of this cauldron has completely surpassed the category of ordinary Immortal Artifacts. Even in the oldest records of our Gu Family, there has never appeared such a supreme treasure capable of simultaneously harnessing myriad things mother qi and chaos qi."

She recalled the thrilling moment when she was ambushed by that crow-like Chaos beast and almost lost her life.

If Su Xuanchen hadn't summoned this cauldron in time to block that fatal blow for her, she would have long since perished.

"I have personally experienced the terrifying defensive power of this cauldron." Gu Hongchen turned her head and looked at Su Xuanchen with an extremely complex expression. "Even a Chaos beast that is infinitely close to the True Immortal Peak cannot leave a single mark on the cauldron's body with its full-force attack. Old Ancestor Su's Heaven-Defying Opportunity and Luck are, looking across All Heavens and Myriad Realms, absolutely unprecedented and will never be surpassed."

Listening to the two of them exclaim in wonder, Chang Xiyue and Ji Luanxi both proudly puffed out their chests. The more awesome their husband was, the more they naturally felt honored.

"Alright, stop the flattery."

Su Xuanchen waved his hand very casually, interrupting everyone's shock.

"Sit tight, we're going in!"

As the words fell.

Su Xuanchen quickly formed hand seals with both hands, and the immortal and demonic qi within his body flooded into the myriad things mother qi cauldron.

"Boom!"

The treasure cauldron emitted a heaven-shaking roar, and carrying the four people and three beasts, it turned into a brilliant mysterious yellow streak of light and plunged without hesitation into the peerlessly violent chaotic Void Realm!

The moment they stepped into this Void Realm.

The scene around them changed instantly.

In the endless darkness, violent Void Realm turbulence was like countless sharp steel knives, crazily cutting at the defensive barrier cast by the myriad things mother qi cauldron.

"Clang, clang, clang, clang!"

The dense sound of metal striking metal was endless, and sparks flew everywhere.

If it weren't for this layer of mother qi protection, even if Gu Hongchen were in the True Immortal Realm, she would definitely not have lasted more than half an hour under such intense cutting.

Everyone held their breath, not even daring to breathe loudly.

Just as everyone had adapted to this high-intensity cutting and felt a slight relief in their hearts.

A sudden change occurred!

There was no warning of any energy fluctuations, nor any auditory hint.

"Rrrrrip—"

In the Void Realm less than ten zhang to the right of the myriad things mother qi cauldron, an extremely deep, pitch-black Void Realm rift, tens of thousands of zhang long, tore open out of thin air without any warning!

This rift was like a giant abyssal mouth capable of devouring the stars of the heavens, and the terrifying suction force emanating from within instantly swallowed all the surrounding Void Realm turbulence!

"Not good!"

Gu Hongchen's pupils suddenly contracted, her scalp instantly went numb, and she shouted in terror.

"It's a random spatial rift!"

The distance at which this rift appeared was simply too close, so close that even a True Immortal's Divine Sense could not react in time to provide a warning!

That destructive tearing force directly enveloped the right side of the myriad things mother qi cauldron.

"Get lost!"

A cold light flashed in Su Xuanchen's eyes, his reaction speed was extreme!

He had no time to think; his hands were changing hand seals frantically like phantoms. The Nine Tribulations Secret Codex within his body was driven to its absolute limit!

"Hum!"

The myriad things mother qi cauldron emitted an extremely piercing resonant sound, and under Su Xuanchen's control, the cauldron body suddenly shifted dozens of zhang to the left at an incredible angle!

However, the tearing force of that Void Realm rift was simply too terrifying.

Even though Su Xuanchen's reaction was fast enough, the right edge of the treasure cauldron was still inevitably grazed by the edge of that rift!

"Bang—"

An extremely dull, loud sound.

The myriad things mother qi cauldron shook violently, and the cascading mysterious yellow mother qi actually experienced an extremely brief moment of disorder at this instant.

The Void Realm power, capable of easily tearing apart Emperor Realm experts, spread crazily along the cauldron body, attempting to drag the entire treasure cauldron, along with everyone inside, into that endless abyss!

"Husband!" Ji Luanxi was so frightened that her face paled, and she gripped Su Xuanchen's sleeve tightly.

The Snow Ape King was even more terrified, lying flat on the bottom of the cauldron, covering its head with its hands, and shivering.

"Want to swallow my cauldron? You have quite an appetite!"

Su Xuanchen roared angrily, the veins on his forehead bulging.

He bit the tip of his tongue violently, and a mouthful of extremely pure immortal and demonic Origin blood was sprayed directly onto the myriad things mother qi cauldron!

"Chaos Suppresses the World! Stabilize for me!"

Boom!

Having absorbed Su Xuanchen's Origin blood, the myriad things mother qi cauldron instantly erupted with extremely brilliant and dazzling Chaos immortal light!

This Chaos light was like an ancient sun rising in the Void Realm, carrying the supreme power to suppress All Heavens and Myriad Realms, instantly stabilizing the cauldron body completely.

"Swish!"

Borrowing this erupting power, Su Xuanchen controlled the treasure cauldron and violently broke free from the terrifying entanglement of that Void Realm rift.

The entire treasure cauldron turned into a streak of extreme light, carrying everyone away at an incredible speed, rapidly fleeing that extremely unstable collapsed area.

Until they had flown millions of miles away.

The suffocating pulling sensation finally disappeared completely.

Inside the cauldron, there was dead silence.

Gu Hongchen was panting heavily, her back already soaked with cold sweat. Chang Xiyue and Ji Luanxi were also pale, still shaken with lingering fear.

Even the three thick-skinned Ice Spirit Snow Apes were now sprawled on the ground, panting heavily.

Too dangerous!

If Su Xuanchen's reaction had been even half a breath slower just now, all of them would have been sucked into that Void Realm rift and completely doomed!

Su Xuanchen coldly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes fixed on the dark Void Realm outside the cauldron.

After this incident, no one dared to be careless in the slightest.

Everyone pushed their Divine Sense to the limit, vigilantly watching for any movement around them with full concentration.

This seemingly calm chaotic Void Realm was, in reality, a bottomless abyss that could eat people at any moment.

Here, destructive lightning, Void Realm slashes, and randomly appearing spatial rifts could descend at any time, and catastrophic disasters often arrived without any warning.
