He was resurrected indefinitely and handed over to the state by the headmistress.

"Alright, we'll talk about this later."

Lu Chen interrupted, his expression grave as he looked around.

"Now, we are trapped by the Fire and Dark Alliance of the Demonic Cult using this 'Heavenly Origin Cauldron'."

"Everyone, take a look. Is there any way to break through this cauldron's barrier and escape?"

"What?! That old man Huo Ming actually joined forces with the Demonic Cult?!"

Everyone was startled upon hearing this.

"Damn it!!"

Hua Zhanyue's face instantly turned ashen, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Old and new grudges surged into his heart; earlier at the university square,

That old man is biased towards Huo Sanlang and forcibly interrupted his fight.

They even dare to collude with the evil cult and set up a trap to harm them!

That bastard!

"Whoosh—!"

Unable to contain his anger, he suddenly drew his sword, and a sharp sword light slashed towards the cauldron wall!

However, the sword light struck the ancient and heavy cauldron.

It only made a soft "ding" sound.

It vanished without a trace, like a clay ox sinking into the sea.

Not even a trace of white was left.

"Haha, Lu Chen, you can just stay inside and wait to die! Enjoy the feeling of being refined!"

Outside the cauldron, Huo Ming's triumphant laughter could be faintly heard.

"Wait... why have there suddenly been several different types of energy within the cauldron?"

The black-robed leader, who was fully activating the Heavenly Origin Cauldron, frowned slightly.

He keenly sensed that besides Lu Chen's powerful aura, there was something else inside the cauldron.

Several more relatively weak life fluctuations appeared.

"Forget it, it's probably just some trick Lu Chen is playing."

He thought about it briefly and then stopped investigating.

In his mind, being taken into the Heavenly Origin Cauldron meant that his fate was already sealed, and any further struggle from Lu Chen would only lead to his death.

He calmed his mind and continued to pour dark energy into the cauldron.

"In another half hour, we should be able to completely refine Lu Chen..."

If you're lucky, you might even be able to refine a batch of highly nourishing "Human Essence Pills."

"It's for our use, and we can even inherit some of his talent and strength..."

At this thought, a glint of greed flashed in the eyes of the black-robed leader.

"Haha, Lu Chen! Are you feeling like you're in unbearable pain right now?"

This is what happens when you dare to oppose me! An ant dares to shake a tree? Ridiculous!

Huo Ming's voice came again, full of sarcasm.

This arrogant voice completely enraged Canglong and his group.

"You old bastard! Go ahead and let me out! I'll stomp your old face into the sand!"

Zanglong was so angry that he jumped up and down, pointing at the cauldron wall and cursing loudly.

"Huo Ming! You disgrace to the academy! How dare you collude with the Demonic Sect to plot against us! Once I get out, I'll immediately report this to the Xuanyuan family and see how long you can remain arrogant, you old dog!"

Xuanyuan Tai was also furious and directly threatened him by invoking his family.

"You lackey of the demonic cult! Kunlun Academy will never let you get away with this! You'll be hunted down to death by the academy's enforcement team!"

Miao Tiao Jun also shouted.

However, the Tianyuan Cauldron was already operating at full capacity, and their angry shouts could not be heard at all, only echoing hollowly inside the cauldron.

"Damn it... the temperature around here is getting higher and higher..."

Xuanyuan Tai wiped his forehead, sweat streaming down like a stream.

The temperature in the chaotic space was rising rapidly, and everyone was sweating profusely, their protective spiritual energy being consumed at an accelerated pace.

"Lu Chen! You have to think of something quick! We don't want to be roasted to death here!"

Liu Yanyan's face was flushed from the heat, and she stomped her feet and shouted anxiously, her voice trembling with tears.

"Shut up! What's all the noise about! Can't you see the boss is trying to figure something out?!"

Miao Tiaojun was already irritable, and when he heard Liu Yanyan's piercing scream, he couldn't help but turn around and roar angrily.

"you……"

Liu Yanyan was speechless for a moment after being yelled at. She looked at Miao Tiaojun's fierce eyes, then glanced at the group of powerful companions beside Lu Chen.

His momentum immediately deflated, and he could only shut his mouth in embarrassment and shrink back to Chen Xiaofeng's side.

"This broken cauldron shell! Watch me smash it to pieces!"

With a roar, Canglong unleashed his divine power once more, and the phantom of a divine general appeared behind him.

He made a fist with both hands, conjuring a golden, radiant spear of divine power.

He hurled it with all his might at the cauldron wall in front of him!

"Whoosh—Boom!"

The spear transformed into a golden streak of light and slammed into the cauldron wall, unleashing a deafening roar.

However, after the golden light dissipated, the cauldron remained completely still, without even a scratch.

"What?!"

Canglong was shocked. His full-force attack, powerful enough to pierce through mountains, had no effect on the cauldron.

"Watch this! Open the gate of shock! Human bomb impact!!"

Seeing this, Xuanyuan Tai gritted his teeth and frantically activated the "Eight Gates Fat Burning" technique within his body, directly opening the seventh gate!

The fat on his body burned intensely, transforming into surging power, and his aura instantly surged!

He stomped his feet on the void, his body like a cannonball, his fiery red fist carrying extremely compressed and violent power, and slammed into the cauldron wall!

"Bang--!!!"

With a deafening roar, a terrifying shockwave reverberated within the cauldron.

Xuanyuan Tai was bounced back by the force of the impact, staggered a few steps on the ground, and his fist trembled slightly.

The spot on the cauldron that he struck remained as smooth as ever.

"Damn! This turtle's shell is incredibly hard!"

Xuanyuan Tai shook his numb arm, his expression extremely solemn.

"Everyone! Let's attack together! Focus on one point!"

Canglong took a deep breath and made the suggestion.

"good!"

Ran Ruhua was the first to respond.

The others nodded in agreement, their eyes hardening.

This damn thing must be broken!

"Breath of the Moon, Flower Instant Slash!"

Hua Zhanyue's eyes were sharp as swords. He crouched down, gathering his strength, and gripped the hilt of his sword tightly with both hands.

The next moment, a sharp and beautiful sword aura shot out and flew straight towards the cauldron wall!

"Tai Chi Qi Wave!!"

Chunli let out a sharp shout, her fists tracing a circular path in front of her.

Two powerful energy waves, one black and one white, roared out as they merged and swirled!

"A myriad of butterflies dance!"

Ran Ruhua's butterfly wings fluttered slightly, and countless colorful butterflies formed from pure energy gracefully flew out.

With sharp cutting power, they converge into a tidal wave, surging toward the same goal.

"Longbow cuts through the waves, let's go!"

Hidden Dragon once again gathered divine power, this time transforming it into an incomparably condensed golden arrow, which shot away at high speed!

"Time acceleration doubles the power!"

Miao Tiaojun stood to the side, his hands forming hand seals, his face flushed, desperately activating his ability to apply a time boost to everyone's combined attack.

All the attacks merged in mid-air, eventually forming a dazzling energy sphere several meters in diameter.

With a devastating force, it slammed heavily against the cauldron wall!

"BOOM—!!!"

A deafening explosion rang out, blinding light filled the field of vision, and violent energy turbulence swept wildly inside the cauldron!

Thick smoke billowed.

"Did it work?"

Everyone held their breath, staring intently at the thick smoke with anticipation.

However, as the aftershocks subsided, everyone's hearts sank.

The area of ​​the cauldron wall that was attacked remains intact!

"Damn it! How can it be so hard!"

Miao Tiaojun gritted his teeth.

Even with everyone's combined strength, they couldn't even make the cauldron shake.

"My lord, it seems that ordinary attacks are ineffective against this cauldron."

Bibi Dong walked to Lu Chen's side, her beautiful face showing a solemn expression.

"Let's make a move."

Hua Xiyu also looked at Lu Chen tenderly:

"We can't delay any longer. The temperature is rising too fast; ordinary people's bodies can't handle it."

She glanced at Liu Yanyan and her two companions, who were already sweating profusely and struggling to breathe, as well as Miao Tiaojun and the others who were also beginning to feel unwell.

Lu Chen nodded, knowing he couldn't test the waters any further.

The high temperature around them had already caused the air to distort. Liu Yanyan and the others were of lower level and had weak protective spiritual power. If this dragged on any longer, their lives would be in real danger.

Although he could still hold on, the attacks from Canglong and his group had proven that they couldn't break the deadlock on their own.
