Chapter 1705 - 1702: Seven Stars Territory Suppression Array

Chapter 1705: Chapter 1702: Seven Stars Territory Suppression Array

The Mountain and River Cauldron emerged, and heaven and earth changed color.

The ancient cauldron floated in the air, its body adorned with patterns exuding the primal aura from the chaotic beginning, as if capable of devouring all things and suppressing the heavens.

"Wang Yuanxiao, are you mad?" Xiao Shuhui cursed fiercely, "With the Mountain and River Cauldron unleashed, corpses will float for miles; aren’t you afraid of ruining Shang Qing Sect’s ancestral legacy?"

Wang Yuanxiao’s eyes were bloodshot, none of the words sinking in.

His son was dead.

His partner’s body was shattered, leaving only a Nascent Soul struggling to survive.

Wang Yuanxiao’s carefully planned endeavor over the years had ended up as an empty dream.

Who wouldn’t go insane?

"The Mountain and River Cauldron!" Zhantai Chunqiu’s pupils shrank, flashing to the battlefield’s sky, unleashing his formidable realm, casting a powerful domain barrier that enveloped downward, "Wang Yuanxiao, do you know once this item is unleashed, everything within a thousand miles will become ruins? Do you truly wish to be Shang Qing Sect’s eternal sinner?"

"An eternal sinner?" Wang Yuanxiao sneered, "I already am one, and what’s another crime to bear? Cao Zhengyang, Xiao Shuhui, you traitorous scoundrels, today I will kill you both!"

As the words fell, the Mountain and River Cauldron swelled a hundredfold, obscuring the sky, seemingly ready to suppress the entire Shang Qing Sect’s mountain gates.

On the Spirit Ship, Yan Xihua’s smile finally completely froze.

She initially thought everything was under control, with the Yan Family having secured half of the Southern Domain Cultivation World.

But now it seemed the situation was spiraling out of control in a wild manner.

"Retreat immediately." Yan Xihua said sternly, "The Mountain and River Cauldron is an ancient innate treasure, and Wang Yuanxiao is at the late stage peak of Divinity Transformation Realm. When fully activated by him, the power of this treasure can instantly kill all cultivators below the Divinity Transformation Realm within a thousand miles, destroying their bodies and spirits."

Sun Xingyu’s heart turned cold, quickly looking at Wan Daorong, "What about those imprisoned people?"

Wan Daorong decisively replied, "Cao Zhengyang has defected mid-battle; he must have released all the disciples imprisoned on the back mountain. They will be safe."

Hearing this, Sun Xingyu slightly relaxed his tension.

Rumble—

The pressure of the Mountain and River Cauldron grew increasingly strong, the entire Shang Qing Sect mountain gates trembling violently.

The Mountain Protection Array frantically functioned, producing subtle cracking sounds, on the verge of shattering at any moment.

The cauldron’s pressure spread like tidal waves, causing the heavens and earth to tremble violently.

The Protection Array over the main peak issued a piercing shattering sound, countless cracks spreading across the array screen, threatening to collapse at any time.

"Don’t let him destroy Shang Qing Sect’s foundations!"

Yan Xihua decisively waved her jade hand, and seven masters of Divinity Transformation Realm from the Central Star Domain stepped forward in unison.

Seven terrifying auras soared to the sky like seven towering pillars, instantly constructing layers of domain laws, sealing the entire space tightly.

Tantai Chunqiu formed seals with his hands, vast mana waves bursting from his body, transforming into a giant golden light shield, locking the cauldron’s pressure firmly within a hundred meters.

Shen Wanjing followed suit, the strength of the Lord of Shifang City fully showcasing.

He hovered in mid-air, surrounded by countless golden runes that moved like living creatures, continuously rotating to form powerful law chains, gradually weakening the cauldron’s pressure.

"Fellow Daoists, let me assist you!"

Wan Daorong’s voice echoed from afar, appearing at the battlefield’s edge as a streak of light, casually waving a horsetail whisk, unleashing myriad rays of light that transformed into law chains, completely locking the cauldron’s pressure.

Guanglingzi, Zhao Yunzhi, Li Shuya, and other powerhouses also began to strike, each casting divine skills to seal the entire space like an iron barrel.

"You all..." Wang Yuanxiao’s eyes turned blood-red, watching the scene unfold before him, his rage and despair nearly consuming him.

He thought unleashing the cauldron would intimidate these people into hesitating, allowing him to kill Xiao Shuhui and Cao Zhengyang, seeking revenge for his son and partner.

Yet unexpectedly, these people joined forces to lock the heavens and earth, aiming to completely suppress the cauldron’s power.

Tantai Chunqiu said coldly, "Though the cauldron is an ancient treasure, you remain merely at the late stage peak of Divinity Transformation Realm, while Shen and I are half-step Dao Unity specialists. Do you think unleashing this treasure will turn the tides?"

"Hahaha..." Wang Yuanxiao laughed into the sky, his laughter tinged with both desolation and madness, "Zhantai Chunqiu, you people are hypocrites, vile in secret. My son is dead, my wife reduced to a Nascent Soul, what more could you want from me? Even if it costs my life, I’ll drag you down with me! Lu Qiushang, after I’m dead, they’ll attack Wangxian Sect next; will you really stand by and watch?"

As the words fell, he clapped his hands fiercely, the cauldron suddenly swelling, its patterns exuding the primal aura from the chaotic beginning, seemingly ready to swallow the entire space.

"Not good!" Yan Xihua’s face changed, hastily commanding, "Quickly suppress it, don’t let him fully activate the Mountain and River Cauldron!"

The seven masters of Divinity Transformation Realm from the Central Star Domain answered the call, unleashing their powerful laws, transforming into seven immense light pillars, directly blasting at the cauldron.

Rumble—

The violent explosion resounded, shaking the entire space fiercely.

The cauldron’s pressure was suppressed, yet the terrifying destructive force continued spreading, finally causing the Protection Array over the main peak to give way and shatter completely.

"The Mountain Protection Array has broken!"

"Flee quickly!"

Countless disciples panicked and scrambled away desperately.

Zhantai Chunqiu, Shen Wanjing, Wan Daorong, and others joined forces to fully suppress the cauldron’s pressure.

The cauldron’s destructive force continued spreading, seven or eight peaks on the main peak’s right side collapsed amidst intense shaking, stones scattering everywhere, dust soaring.

"This Mountain and River Cauldron is truly worthy of its reputation," Shen Wanjing remarked solemnly, "If not for our united suppression, the area might be reduced to ruins."

"Thanks to the Seven Stars Territory Suppression Array! Without it, relying solely on our realm laws would fail to suppress the cauldron’s terrifying power," Wan Daorong said, gazing at the formidable array high above.

It was the array jointly cast by the seven masters of the Yan family brought by Yan Xihua.

Yet at this moment, they found themselves trapped within, enveloped by the Seven Stars Territory Suppression Array, casting doubt on Yan Xihua and the Yan family’s intentions.

"The Seven Stars Territory Suppression Array?" Wang Yuanxiao’s face twisted with disbelief and anger, yelling at Yan Xihua, "What do you mean? Didn’t you say you wanted peace? Why help them?"

Yan Xihua smiled, saying, "Indeed, my Yan family wishes for peace, but with the cauldron unleashed to annihilate everything, peace is no longer the issue. The Yan family seeks to establish itself in the Southern Domain, but we don’t want the Southern Domain Cultivation World utterly destroyed. If you remain obstinate, the Yan family can only choose to side with Elder Zhan Tai and his allies."

"Hahaha..." Wang Yuanxiao laughed towards the sky in despair, "What a Yan family, what peace! You are all hypocrites, vile scoundrels! I will remember this enmity; so long as I, Wang Yuanxiao, live, you shall know no peace."

With those words, he vanished, retreating into the void with Bai Xumi’s shattered Nascent Soul body.
