Proving Immortality Starting with Hextech Runes

Upon seeing that Mo Jude had sealed the original storage bag, the cultivators of Hansong Sect all changed their expressions and began to whisper among themselves.

This journey is fraught with danger, so most of them have filled their storage bags with talismans, pills, and various life-saving measures.

The fact that the storage bag is now sealed is naturally met with some dissatisfaction.

Li Yuan's expression was also somewhat unnatural at this moment, as he was under the invisible pressure of Mo Jude, a Core Formation stage cultivator.

He stepped forward with a stiff upper lip and bowed, saying, "Senior Mo, please calm your anger! We disciples are terrified and have no intention of disrespecting you."

"However, the disciples did indeed prepare some healing pills and life-saving measures in this storage bag in case of unforeseen circumstances. If it were sealed away..."

"I fear this might be detrimental to the journey to the ruins, could you perhaps...?"

However, before Li Yuan could finish speaking, Mo Jude coldly interrupted him:

"The rules have been set. If you have any questions, you can raise them with your sect leader, Master Wen, once he arrives."

Having said that, Mo Jude waved his sleeve again, and a cloud of black mist appeared out of thin air, engulfing everyone in the ruins...

After re-entering the ruins of the First Saint Sect, Chen Xu's consciousness remained on the sidelines, observing the actions of the Fish Emperor.

Without the slightest hesitation, the Fish Emperor led Li Yuan toward the direction of the Star Chart Lock.

The two moved quickly and moved away from the crowd.

After navigating through layers of ruins and obstacles, we finally arrived near the Star Chart Lock.

The Fish Emperor walked up to the Star Chart Lock and extended his left hand.

As an eerie aura surged forth, a twisted crack suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Stand guard outside," the Fish Emperor coldly ordered, then stepped out and entered the crevice.

Then the crack quickly closed, although the Fish Emperor was no longer visible outside.

But Li Yuan still bowed towards the direction of the star map lock and replied, "Yes, Lord Fish Emperor!"

……

In the evil cave, the Fish Emperor controlled Chen Xu's clone to walk to the nearly ten-meter-tall scarlet ancient cauldron.

Then the clone's head snapped back, and a horrifying fleshy tentacle emerged from it.

The clone lost the Fish Emperor's control, its eyes instantly lost their luster, and its body fell backward.

Immediately afterwards, the scarlet ancient cauldron emitted a humming sound, and the lid slowly lifted up a crack.

Instantly, a thick, bloody stench erupted from it.

The vast blood mist seemed to possess a life of its own, surging towards the fleshy tentacle clinging to the cauldron.

In just a few breaths, the tentacle swelled several times its original size.

It grew as thick as a giant python and coiled up beside the ancient cauldron.

The entire underground cave trembled slightly under its oppressive force.

The surrounding pulsating fleshy spheres seemed to be stimulated as well, and began to pulsate even more rapidly.

At this moment, Chen Xu's consciousness returned to that clone once again.

His "empty" gaze swept over the Fish Emperor as he pondered.

Its size is dozens of times larger than last time... Could this be the true form of the Fish Emperor?

With this in mind, a bold idea arose:

What would happen if I used the [Transformation and Reconstruction Device] on this evil spirit?

Just as he was about to take out the [Transformation and Reconstruction Device], an evil voice suddenly rang out:

"Hehehe..."

The colossal, fleshy creature, which resembled a mountain, twitched, and a vertical, malevolent eye appeared on its massive body.

He was staring intently at Chen Xu, who was lying on the ground.

"Your consciousness has returned..."

"A mere flesh and blood puppet... yet it possesses such extraordinary abilities..."

A hint of confusion flashed in the Fish Emperor's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by an even stronger interest.

It could sense the fluctuations that had "come alive" inside that body, but it couldn't understand the underlying principle at all.

After being exposed by the Fish Emperor, Chen Xu was too lazy to pretend anymore. He slowly got up and stretched his neck.

After regaining his footing, he looked up to meet the enormous, evil eye that was looking down at him, and smiled:

"Lord Fish Emperor, it's been a long time."

The Fish Emperor's evil eyes narrowed slightly, clearly not expecting Chen Xu to react this way.

"Hehehe..."

"Tell me... how did you do that?"

Chen Xu smiled slightly and replied, "Want to know? If you can answer one question for me, I might as well tell you."

The blood mist surrounding the Fish Emperor seemed to freeze for a moment, and a cold will locked onto Chen Xu.

"Hehehe..."

"Interesting... You're the first human to dare to make demands of me..."

Its laughter carried a hint of mockery: "So... what's the problem?"

Despite that chilling will, Chen Xu remained unfazed and calmly asked:

"What exactly is your true form?"

The Fish Emperor gave Chen Xu a deep look, his voice hoarse:

"What you see before you is one of my true forms."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xu was filled with doubt and unease.

What does "one of the main bodies" mean? Could it be that this terrifying thing that sits like a mountain is just a part of its main body?

Then, his gaze unconsciously fell on the scarlet ancient cauldron.

Surely... this cauldron isn't the core of it, is it?!

However, the moment Chen Xu's gaze fell upon the cauldron, the Fish Emperor's tone suddenly turned cold:

"Alright... now it's your turn to answer my question..."

At this moment, Chen Xu thought about it more and more and felt that it was possible.

It is rumored that some high-level evil spirits coexist with a strange artifact called "Yu Rong Wu".

Could this cauldron... be the Fish Emperor's weapon?!

Seeing that Chen Xu did not answer, the Fish Emperor instantly unleashed a violent pressure upon him.

However, at this critical moment, a fierce glint flashed in Chen Xu's eyes, and he directly activated "Hidden Shadow Step" while simultaneously unleashing "Treading Cloud Mountain".

With a single step, he vanished from his spot and reappeared in front of the crimson ancient cauldron!

The speed was so fast that even the Fish Emperor was slightly surprised.

Without hesitation, he took out the [Transformation and Reconstruction Device] from his storage space and pressed it hard against the surface of the ancient cauldron!

"boom!!!"

The entire underground cavern shook violently, and the viscous blood mist swirled wildly.

For the first time, fear gleamed in the Fish Emperor's evil eyes:

"What are you doing?!"

The icy will that locked onto Chen Xu transformed into a boundless killing intent.

Countless new tentacles burst forth from the Fish Emperor's massive body, hurtling towards Chen Xu.

But... it was too late.

Just as the torrent of tentacles was about to touch Chen Xu's clone.

The crimson ancient cauldron suddenly burst forth with white light, absorbing the Fish Emperor's body along with it, and began to reassemble.

"No!!!" The Fish Emperor's voice was filled with horror and fear.

Its massive body struggled frantically in the white light.

However, the power contained in that white light far exceeded the Fish Emperor's comprehension, ruthlessly decomposing and reconstructing its body.

After a few breaths, the white light receded rapidly, like the receding tide.

In the center of the cave, the nearly ten-meter-tall scarlet ancient cauldron had vanished without a trace.

In its place was a small tripod, about a foot tall.

The cauldron has a warm, pale yellow color, three legs, and round handles. Its exquisite and simple design exudes a profound Taoist charm.

On its front, three characters are clearly visible, seemingly integrated seamlessly with the body of the cauldron:

The Xuanhuang Cauldron
