Starting from the two realms, cultivating immortality by taming beasts

Chapter 639 The Mirror of Annihilation

Within the chaotic world.

A swirling purple aura surged continuously, and a purple-gold canopy shone with brilliance.

The two elements intertwined and, together with the Nine Cycles and Three Elements Qi absorbed from the Heavenly Abyss True Dragon Cauldron, forcibly condensed into streaks of auspicious purple clouds that were neither gold nor rosy, and of inestimable value.

The next second, these auspicious clouds continued to rise, surging towards the chaotic heavens and earth, forming a vast territory covered by purple clouds.

Between the clouds, purple and gold rays of light slowly gathered and intertwined, eventually giving birth to an indescribable primordial aura.

This primordial aura contains the universe within, its azure hue appearing and disappearing, and also concealing a wisp of barely perceptible crimson light.

"One Yuan Xuanhuang, one Yuan Qingming, one Yuan Chiming, this is the true Nine Cycles and Three Cycles!" Chen Beiwu's pupils contracted.

Even with the bell suppressing his mind, he could not contain his joy at this moment.

The reason is simple: the Nine Cycles and Three Elements that Chen Beiwu had obtained in the past were only a tiny wisp, while the Nine Cycles and Three Elements that have now appeared in the Chaotic World are a complete one.

"Just a wisp of Nine Cycles and Three Elements has given me a series of extraordinary encounters, allowing me to soar to the heavens. If I were to trigger extraordinary encounters with an entire Nine Cycles and Three Elements, what would that be like?"

Chen Beiwu forcibly suppressed his joy and quickly regained his composure.

outside world.

Seeing Chen Beiwu's reaction, Batian Yuanlong was not surprised at all.

The Primordial Dao Artifact is an extremely rare and top-tier treasure within the Ten Thousand Star.

Faced with a Primordial Dao Artifact, let alone a Nascent Soul True Venerable, even a Void Refining Dao Venerable would be tempted and might even try to snatch it.

Chen Zi'ang is currently only a Nascent Soul True Monarch, so he can hardly hide his joy at being able to gain initial recognition as a master of a Primordial Dao Artifact.

"Could you try lifting the Heavenly Abyss Dragon-Suppressing Cauldron?" Yuan suggested.

I'll give it a try.

Chen Beiwu exhaled a breath of turbid air and pushed the Tianyuan Dao Technique to its limit.

boom!

boom!

boom!

Chen Beiwu raised his hands, and the Tianyuan Zhenlong Cauldron trembled slightly. An indescribable terrifying aura immediately pressed down on his spiritual platform and sea of ​​consciousness.

"I can't lift it anymore. If I lift it any further, even with my Primordial Myriad Tribulations Body, I won't be able to support the weight of the Primordial Dao Artifact!" Chen Beiwu's spiritual senses prompted him to issue a warning.

Even with the cooperation of eight Heavenly Abyss Dragons, he could only shake the Heavenly Abyss Dragon-Suppressing Cauldron by a hair's breadth despite his best efforts.

By the same token, even if the Heavenly Abyss Dragon-Suppressing Cauldron did not exert any power, but only moved its main body, it could probably easily crush a Nascent Soul True Venerable!

However, one thing puzzled Chen Beiwu: after the initial recognition of the [Heavenly Abyss Dragon-Suppressing Cauldron] as its master, why did the approximate power description of the [Heavenly Abyss Dragon-Suppressing Cauldron] not appear in his spiritual sea of ​​consciousness?

"It's nothing, thank you for your hard work," Yuan said calmly.

"You don't need to be so polite, senior."

After leaving his mark inside the Tianyuan Town Dragon Cauldron, the Tianyuan Daoist lineage within Chen Beiwu's body began to stir, and he was only one step away from being unsealed.

The Fighting Demon Ape looked at Chen Beiwu, its eyes narrowing.

After attaining the fifth realm of demonic power, Chen Beiwu was no match for it, and it was confident that it could suppress Chen Beiwu within three moves.

But now, after Chen Beiwu and the Hunyuan Dao artifact were used together, the aura it sensed on the former suddenly changed and became extremely dangerous.

Invincible!

Those who fight the enemy must die!

Upon sensing this spiritual awareness, the Fighting Demon Ape could not hide its astonishment.

Is this the power of a Primordial Dao Artifact?

It had only just begun to recognize its master and had not yet completed the refinement process, yet it was already no match for Chen Beiwu!

"To show my sincerity, I can grant you two conditions first."

Yuan seemed to be in a good mood and took the initiative to speak.

"Roar!" Woof! "Hah!" "Eek!"

Jin Dan, Tie Dan, Xue Le, Zhi Ling, and A Ji all subconsciously looked at Chen Bei Wu.

Chen Beiwu pondered for a moment, then voiced his preconceived idea: "Senior, the path to becoming a Demon Lord is fraught with danger, with the risk of death. Do you have any way to allow Golden Egg, Iron Egg, and Snowman to..."

Zhiling and Aji will both get through this safely.

"Good lad, is this one condition, or five?"

Yuan raised an eyebrow, feeling somewhat amused and exasperated.

The younger generation these days are really audacious; they ask for exorbitant prices as soon as they set their conditions.

"If you think it's too much, senior, we can include both conditions together," Chen Beiwu said, taking the initiative to concede.

"No need, I'm not going to be troubled by such a trivial matter."

Yuan shook his head, flicked his sleeve, and the void tore open, revealing a jade box in front of Chen Beiwu: "You can open it and take a look."

With a thought, Chen Beiwu opened the jade box. What came into view was a withered vine as thick as a child's arm, dark brown in color, and resembling the bark of an old tree.

This vine has a unique texture and slender leaves. Each leaf has five petals in five colors: blue, red, yellow, white, and black.

"What is this?" Chen Beiwu's eyes narrowed slightly.

Even after consulting countless immortal alliance and southern wilderness classics, he couldn't immediately recognize the specific name of this vine.

"Roar!" "Woof!" "Hey!" "Eek!"

However, judging from the reactions of the golden eggs, the vines inside the jade box are definitely not ordinary.

Especially Schiller, whose eyes were fixed on the vines in the box, his mouth watering so much that he was practically drooling.

"This treasure is called the Five-Colored Vine, a fifth-grade supreme item, and can also be called a quasi-Dao medicine." Yuan said casually, "Before you become a Demon Lord, you only need to eat one bite to stabilize your bloodline and advance multiple times. Even if you fail to break through to Demon Lord, it won't matter much. It can enhance your foundation and help you prove the Dao multiple times."

"If a demon king who consumes the Five-Colored Vine is lucky enough, his bloodline may mutate, awakening the ancient bloodline within him and obtaining the bloodline of a Creation Beast."

Upon hearing this, Chen Beiwu flipped his wrist and quickly took the five-colored vine.

The ancient Daoist sects were indeed extraordinary, able to casually produce even rare and precious materials at the level of quasi-Dao medicines.

"Can cultivators who have attained the Dao and transformed into True Venerables consume the Five-Colored Vine?" Chen Beiwu asked tentatively.

"Yes, but this medicine is most effective on demonic beasts. For cultivators, it can at most increase the probability of attaining the True Venerable Realm by 20% to 30%, and it does not have the effect of stabilizing the Golden Core or Nascent Soul. It cannot guarantee that the foundation will not be lost after the user fails to attain the True Venerable Realm."

After Yuan gave a brief explanation, he asked Chen Beiwu about the last condition.

"Are there any Dao Beast cubs in the sect's treasure vault?" Chen Beiwu asked, clinging to a sliver of hope.

"No, let's change the terms."

Chen Beiwu: "Are there any quasi-Dao soldiers?"

"What type of quasi-Dao soldier do you want?" Yuan asked in return.

Some fifth-grade supreme Yuan medicines can be called quasi-Dao medicines due to their rarity and long history.

However, Quasi-Dao Soldiers are different. Quasi-Dao Soldiers are created by half-step Void Refining cultivators over many years and have already borne part of the Great Dao's creation. The original creation restrictions within them have transformed into Dao restrictions.

In short, a Creation Artifact is not necessarily a Quasi-Dao Weapon, but a Quasi-Dao Weapon is definitely a Fifth-Order Creation Artifact.

There really is!

Chen Beiwu's eyes lit up.

Although the Frost Dragon Blade and the Five Elements Bright King Wings on his body were quite good, they were only among the best of the fourth-tier Heavenly Treasures. They were only good for dealing with Nascent Soul True Monarchs, and almost useless in battles between Divine Transformation True Venerables.

If he can successfully refine a quasi-Dao weapon and combine it with the Primal Myriad Tribulations Body, he might be able to defeat a True Venerable in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm after leaving the Path of Heavenly Stars.

"Are there any quasi-Dao soldiers of the killing or attack type, or quasi-Dao soldiers of the escape, teleportation, or defense type?" Chen Beiwu asked.

"Quasi-Dao weapons are rare. I only have one in my possession, which happens to be a quasi-Dao weapon of the killing and deception-breaking type, named the [Mirror of Heavenly Annihilation]. I just don't know if you have the ability to subdue it."

As soon as Yuan finished speaking, a deep, resonant buzzing sound suddenly rang out.

What is that?

Chen Beiwu felt a chill run down his spine, and his figure instinctively retreated rapidly.

"No need to be nervous."

As Yuan spoke, the terrifying crisis that permeated the world suddenly dissipated, and an ancient, round mirror slowly fell down.

Chen Beiwu felt relieved and turned his gaze to the simple, round mirror.

It illuminates and extinguishes the appearances of all beings, and the mirror settles the emptiness of all phenomena.

One light locks in cause and effect; three lights annihilate heaven and earth.

Even with just a glance, before he could even extend his divine sense, a profound and mysterious information surged into Chen Beiwu's mind.

The Mirror of Illumination and Annihilation was the natal treasure of Dao Ancestor Tianyuan before he attained enlightenment. It was extremely powerful in killing and contained the four great powers of illumination, locking, annihilation, and restoration.

What is a photograph?

Once the Heavenly Mirror of Annihilation is unleashed, it can shatter the illusions of all things in the world. Beings below the sixth rank have nowhere to escape; everything must conceal itself, hide, and conceal its presence.

All the restrictive techniques became ineffective.

What is a lock?

Those touched by the mirror's light, no matter how far away or where they are, even if they escape into the Middle Thousand Worlds beyond the Ten Thousand Stars, cannot escape the lock of the Mirror of Annihilation.

What is extinction?

When the Mirror of Annihilation unleashes its full power, it can shatter laws with a single shine, lock souls with a second, and destroy heaven and earth with a third. No matter how high your cultivation level is, if you haven't reached the half-step Void Refinement stage, you will surely die.

What does "return" mean?

The Mirror of Annihilation can capture the primordial spirit and the essence of the Dharma image. With a thought from the host, it can transform into the appearance of the person being reflected, or it can differentiate into a mirror clone. The flow of Dharma image, essence, and energy is consistent, and it cannot be deciphered by anyone who is not at least half a step into the Void Refinement stage.

"How is it? Is it to your liking?"

Seeing Chen Zi'ang slightly lost in thought, Yuan smiled.

"What a treasure!" Chen Beiwu's eyes lit up, his heart pounding with excitement.

"This treasure is wonderful, but taming it will not be an easy task."

With a flick of his sleeve, Yuan sent the Heaven-Illuminating Mirror landing in front of Chen Beiwu.

"How should this treasure be identified as its owner?" Chen Beiwu humbly asked.

"If you can hold the Heavenly Abyss Dao Technique for three quarters of an hour, you can gain its initial approval."

Upon hearing this, Chen Beiwu had not yet made a move, but Aji was eager to try.

"I'll give it a try."

Aji volunteered and stretched out his bare hand toward the Mirror of Annihilation.

"Buzz".

The moment it was touched, the Mirror of Annihilation trembled slightly and emitted a radiant light.

Aji gritted its teeth, its whole body trembling and sweating, as if enduring some excruciating pain, yet it still stubbornly insisted, "It's alright, I can hold on for another 45 minutes!"

"Huh?" (Are you sure?)

Schiller exclaimed in surprise.

"Of course I'm sure."

Aji said in a deep voice.

Soon, a hundred breaths passed, and Aji's body trembled more violently, his eyes glazed over, as if he was about to faint.

"Huh?" (Is it really that exaggerated?)

The golden egg blinked its dragon eyes.

In terms of strength, Aji was the strongest among them, but it was quite exaggerated that he only lasted for a hundred breaths before revealing this state.

"Ugh!"

After another hundred breaths, Aji suddenly let out a soft cry, and his outstretched palm quickly retracted as if it had been electrocuted, putting distance between itself and the Mirror of Annihilation.

"Your Fellow Beast is quite determined to last for two hundred breaths, no less than a Nascent Soul cultivator in the early stage."

Yuan Shen glanced at Aji.

The Mirror of Annihilation is not an ordinary quasi-Dao weapon, but rather the life-bound treasure of the Refining Void Dao Venerable before his attainment of Dao.

Without cultivating the Heavenly Abyss Dao, a cultivator who has just entered the Nascent Soul stage would probably not even last a hundred breaths if they dared to touch it rashly.

It's quite remarkable that this beast of the four seasons has been able to hold out for so long.

"Roar!" (I'll give it a try!)

Jin Dantou stubbornly refused to believe in superstitions, and seeing Aji fail so quickly, his curiosity was piqued.

Aji took a deep breath, making no attempt to stop the golden egg.

However, after fifty breaths, the golden egg slowly retracted its dragon claws, revealing a nonchalant expression.

"Hmph." (That's all there is to it.)

Golden Egg commented casually.

"Huh?" (Really?)

Schiller gently poked the golden egg with his finger, and the egg immediately trembled and let out a loud cry of pain. Its three heads shook violently, as if in excruciating pain.

"They really know how to hold back!"

Upon seeing this, Tie Dan and Zhi Ling exchanged a glance, already understanding the situation.

Even Aji and Jindan were in such a sorry state. If they didn't have the cultivation level of a fifth-realm demon lord, going up to try would only be a waste of time and effort.

"Let me do it."

Chen Beiwu stepped forward and reached out to touch the Mirror of Annihilation.

"Buzz!"

The round mirror trembled slightly and burst forth with light.

But Chen Beiwu felt nothing at all; he only felt that the strange phenomenon of the Heavenly Abyss River deep in his spiritual sea of ​​consciousness was becoming more and more dazzling.

Just then, the golden egg, which had barely recovered, sensed something was wrong.

What's going on?

Why did Bei Wu not react at all when he touched the Mirror of Annihilation? Could it be that this broken mirror treats people differently?

"Hey?" (Do you think Beiwu can succeed?)

Schiller nudged Iron Egg with his shoulder.

"Woof." (It's definitely possible.)

Tie Dan looked at its master without hesitation.

Yuan, standing to the side, subtly observed the changes in Chen Beiwu's aura.

One hundred breaths, two hundred breaths, three hundred breaths —

As time went by, Chen Beiwu remained completely at ease, showing no signs of discomfort.

Just then, the Mirror of Annihilation suddenly rotated, and the radiance and power emanating from its surface instantly multiplied.

"Tick-tock!"

"Tick-tock!"

"Tick-tock!"

Chen Beiwu swayed, but managed to steady himself.

Sweat condensed into beads, dripping slowly down his chin.

No wonder Aji couldn't hold on. Without the ultimate mastery of the Heavenly Abyss Dao Technique, I'm afraid I could only last for two quarters of an hour with just the Primal Myriad Tribulations Body!

As Chen Beiwu's thoughts raced, he pushed the Heavenly Abyss Dao Technique to its limit, enduring the intense pain emanating from his physical body, divine sense, and magical power.

This pain is not excruciating, but rather an erosion of the very essence of life, far beyond what willpower can resist.

Two quarters of an hour later, the radiance of the Heavenly Mirror subsided, and calm returned.

Is this ending early?

Before Chen Beiwu could finish his thought, the Mirror of Annihilation suddenly turned, and his image was reflected on its surface.

boom!

In an instant, a terrifying aura of destructive power surged into Chen Beiwu's heart.

Retreat! Failure to retreat means certain death!

Faced with this mental shock, Chen Beiwu used the Myriad Spirits Calamity Transformation to try to forcefully withstand it, but unexpectedly, Yuan, who was watching from the side, suddenly made a move.

"Alright, that's enough!"

Yuan pointed his finger, and the Mirror of Annihilation emitted a mournful cry, its energy plummeted, and Chen Beiwu, reflected in the mirror, shattered and disintegrated.

"Senior, what's going on?" Chen Beiwu looked up at Yuan.

"If you continue, you will die." Yuan said solemnly, "To avoid any accidents, I will use a secret technique to seal most of the power of the Heavenly Mirror of Annihilation. This way, you can endure for three-quarters of an hour and begin the initial refining."

"Don't worry, when your cultivation reaches the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, or when the Heavenly Abyss Daoist technique reaches its perfect state, the seal on the Illumination Mirror will naturally be removed."

After saying that, Yuan brought up the important matter: "Now that all the conditions I promised have been fulfilled, you should also keep your promise and give up your control of the [Heavenly Abyss Dragon-Suppressing Cauldron]."

"Now?" Chen Beiwu sensed something was wrong.

He had only been with Cantianyuan Zhenlong for a short time when Yuan asked him to give up the power to control the Hunyuan Dao artifact, which seemed somewhat unnecessary.
