The three old farmers had already noticed that the Blood Jade Spider was trembling, and it seemed that it would put down the Void Heaven Cauldron at any moment.
"I have been preparing for 300 years. You think you can get away with this? No way!" The flat-nosed boy roared, brandishing a bone staff that emitted a sharp white light as he blocked the three old farmers.
While fending off the three cultivators, the flat-nosed boy subtly made his way towards the Void Heaven Cauldron.
On the periphery, ten cultivators revealed greedy expressions, eager to try their luck.
Although they were afraid of Fang Chen, they were not afraid of this flat-nosed man.
"Squeak!"
Suddenly, two screeching sounds rang out!
Flat-nosed creature opened its eyes and saw that two of the blood jade spiders were already on their last legs.
Pulled by the immense weight of the Void Heaven Cauldron, it slid into the large hole.
"not good!"
The man with the flat nose was startled. Gritting his teeth, he unleashed a yellowish-brown armor, which was then encased in a tortoise-shaped shell. He then reached out with a phantom hand about two zhang long to grab the Void Heaven Cauldron!
boom!
Just as his illusory hand grasped the Void Heaven Cauldron, two attacks from three Nascent Soul cultivators slammed into him from behind.
The tortoise-shaped armor shifted in a series of changes.
The color has become much duller.
The blue flames inside the Void Cauldron erupted instantly.
The illusory hand that was packaging the boy was burned and twisted.
Seeing this, the three Nascent Soul cultivators, including the old farmer, exchanged glances and divided their tasks. The thin old man continued to attack the flat-nosed boy, while the remaining two used their illusory Nascent Soul hands to grab the Void Heaven Cauldron.
Grasped by three illusory giant hands, the Void Heaven Cauldron was instantly seized and appeared above the large hole.
With a loud thud, it landed on the edge of the altar!
Upon seeing that the Void Heaven Cauldron had appeared, Fang Chen's figure slowly appeared at the entrance of the main hall and swept forward.
The Void Heaven Cauldron is flat and round, with two handles and three legs. It is about four feet tall and about ten feet in diameter, which is not very large.
The top has a slightly convex circular lid, and the surrounding area is carved with various scenes such as insects, fish, beasts, and numerous mountains, rivers, trees, etc. Although it looks simple and rough, it is lifelike and even gives Fang Chen a sense of the wild and ancient atmosphere.
As soon as the cauldron appeared at the cave entrance, it began to hum slightly, and the sound grew louder and louder. At the same time, the blue ice flames surrounding the cauldron also surged and grew several times larger with a few "whoosh" sounds.
The old farmer, the cripple, and the thin old man who were originally standing near the cave entrance all changed their expressions drastically at the same time and were sent flying backward.
As for the boy with the flat nose, his eyes revealed a look of surprise.
The entire area of the altar, spanning more than ten zhang in radius, was completely frozen under the pale blue light.
Apart from the slowly flickering ball of light at the cave entrance, only the flat-nosed boy and the six blood jade spiders not far from the entrance were still moving freely. Everything else was completely frozen. If the three Nascent Soul cultivators had flown away even a little later, they would have been frozen inside as well.
At this moment, the altar seemed to be encased within a giant blue crystal.
"So, how do we retrieve the treasure?"
At this moment, the thirteen cultivators in the hall were shocked by the astonishing sight of the frozen scene and their expressions changed drastically.
When they saw that the flat-nosed man was not afraid of the blue ice flames, the cultivators' eyes widened.
This strange sight, which seemed to freeze even spiritual energy, left the cultivators clueless as to how to seize the treasure. The flat-nosed boy was still standing there!
Right now.
The boy with the flat nose stared at the ice flame with a strange look in his eyes for a few moments, then his figure began to spin rapidly in the air.
Suddenly, ghostly energy emanated from his body. As the energy swirled, it formed a green whirlwind about ten feet in diameter. The surrounding area was eerie and filled with the faint, mournful cries of ghosts.
Then, the whirlwind pressed down on the blue flames on the large cauldron below.
A loud "boom" resounded.
The moving whirlwind, as if ignited, instantly transformed into a raging inferno, whipping up a towering pillar of fire dozens of meters high.
This pillar of fire was neither red nor white; its color shifted between black and green, offering no warmth whatsoever, but rather giving off an extremely chilling aura.
Fang Chen stared wide-eyed as the eerie pillar of fire plunged headlong into the blue ice flames. It only paused for a moment before exploding, and in the blink of an eye, the pillar of fire transformed into a giant black-green lotus, instantly enveloping the entire ball of blue flames and the Void Heaven Cauldron within it.
Boom!
A crisp sound!
The giant lotus flower simply enveloped the blue ice flames and left, while the Void Heaven Cauldron remained in its original place as if it were an illusion, without moving an inch.
Fang Chen's heart started racing, and a flush of excitement rose on his face.
The 13 Nascent Soul cultivators around him stared at the Void Heaven Cauldron, their breathing becoming rapid.
"The treasure cauldron has appeared!"
"Treasures belong to the virtuous!"
"Whoever grabs it gets to keep it!"
At this moment, the old farmer and the other thirteen cultivators could no longer suppress their greed and rushed towards the Void Heaven Cauldron.
