The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Chapter 2286 The last moment

But what Matthew didn't expect was that after the drop of golden liquid slowly merged into the golden lotus, only two or three breaths later, the ninth lotus petal slowly unfolded at this moment.

The moment the lotus petals stretched out, it seemed as if time between heaven and earth stopped for a moment, and a mysterious aura permeated the entire Dantian.

Matthew stared at all this in a daze, his mind unable to wrap around for a moment.

He thought that the unfolding of the ninth lotus petal would lead to earth-shaking changes, but the facts were beyond his expectations.

After the ninth lotus petal unfolded, there was a calmness in Dantian, as if nothing had happened.

Even Matthew still couldn't control his own body and could only watch everything inside his body as a bystander.

This strange calmness made him feel a little uneasy.

"Something's wrong. It shouldn't be over yet!"

Matthew said to himself.

He carefully felt the changes in his dantian, trying to find a clue from it.

However, no matter how he explored, the Dantian remained as calm as a pool of stagnant water, without the slightest ripple.

Just as Matthew was confused, his body suddenly trembled slightly.

Immediately afterwards, a dazzling golden light burst out from his body, instantly covering his entire body.

The golden light was not only dazzling, but also carried a terrifying energy, as if it was going to devour everything around it.

In the stone chamber, the magic circle that had been operating quietly began to vibrate violently under the impact of this energy.

The energy was like a tide, impacting the magic circle in the stone chamber wave after wave.

Some not-so-powerful magic arrays collapsed after only a short while under the impact of energy.

The light of the magic circle gradually dimmed and finally dissipated completely.

Liu Yulong and Lan Yue, who were hiding in the magic circle, were also nervous at this moment.

They had originally followed Matthew's instructions and hid in the magic circle, ready to deal with any unexpected situations that might arise.

However, they did not expect that the burst of energy would be so terrifying that even the magic circle could not completely resist it.

"This energy... is so terrifying!"

Liu Yulong said in a low voice, with a hint of fear in his eyes.

He could clearly feel the destructive power contained in that energy, as if it could easily tear their bodies apart.

Lan Yue's face was also solemn. She tightly grasped the magic weapon in her hand and said in a deep voice: "Uncle said before that if an unexpected situation occurs, we must immediately activate the backup magic array and must not let him be disturbed."

Liu Yulong nodded, quickly took out a formation plate from the storage bag, and began to activate the backup formation.

Lan Yue did not hesitate. She formed seals with her hands and injected the magic power in her body into the formation plate.

As they moved, rays of light began to illuminate the stone chamber again, and a new magic circle gradually took shape, trying to resist the terrifying energy.

However, the intensity of that energy was far beyond their imagination.

Even with the support of the backup magic circle, the energy still hit the barrier of the magic circle like a raging wave.

The light of the magic circle flickered continuously under the impact of energy, as if it would collapse at any time.

"We can't go on like this, we must find a way to suppress this energy!" Liu Yulong said gritting his teeth, beads of sweat already oozing out of his forehead.

Lan Yue nodded, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes.

She took a deep breath, took out a crystal clear jade talisman from her bosom, and whispered: "This is the life-saving jade talisman given to me by my master. It contains the power of a cultivator in the Spiritualization Stage. Maybe it can temporarily suppress this energy."

When Liu Yulong heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly nodded: "Okay, now we can only try it!"

Lan Yue did not hesitate and immediately activated the jade talisman.

With the infusion of her magic power, the jade talisman instantly burst into dazzling light.

A huge amount of energy surged out from the jade talisman and transformed into a light curtain, blocking the magic circle.

The moment that terrifying energy collided with the light curtain, the entire stone chamber shook violently, as if it would collapse at any time.

At the same time, earth-shaking changes took place in Matthew's body.

The dazzling golden light not only covered his entire body, but also began to penetrate into his meridians.

Wherever the golden light passed, the meridians seemed to be reshaped, becoming tougher and wider.

Matthew's consciousness could clearly feel that his body was transforming at an astonishing speed.

However, this transformation has not come without cost.

As the golden light slowly penetrated, his body began to tremble slightly, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down from his forehead, wetting the clothes beneath him.

Suddenly, a sharp pain surged from all over his body like a surging tide, as if countless sharp blades were cutting madly in his body, and every inch of his skin and every bone was suffering from unbearable pain.

His consciousness gradually became blurred, the scene before his eyes began to distort, and only endless pain was raging in his mind.

However, in this abyss of pain, a firm voice kept echoing in Matthew's heart: "Hold on... Never fall down!"

He let out a roar in his heart, which was a spur to himself and a struggle against fate.

He knew very well that this was the critical moment for his breakthrough. If he gave up, all the countless days and nights of hard work and countless life-and-death experiences before would be wasted.

Matthew clenched his teeth, his face twisted in pain, and his hands tightly grasped the rubble beneath him. His nails were deeply embedded in the stone, leaving a trail of blood.

His breathing was rapid and heavy. Every inhale seemed to pull the nerves in his body, and every exhale was accompanied by a painful groan.

But his eyes were extremely firm, as if burning with a flame that would never go out, which was the desire for breakthrough and the persistent pursuit of strength.

Just when Matthew was almost completely consumed by the pain and unable to hold on, the golden lotus in his dantian suddenly began to slowly turn again.

At this moment, the rotation of the lotus seemed to have triggered a mysterious storm. A terrifying suction force came out from the golden lotus, like an invisible black hole, and began to frantically devour everything around it.

At the same time, an extremely slight breaking sound was heard from Matthew's body.

Although the sound was small, it sounded like the sound of a huge bell in his perception. It was not that his body was damaged, but that the Shenhua Pill hidden in his body was broken at this moment.

This Shenhua Pill was improved by the old man Zi Ding at great cost.

For Matthew, this Divine Transformation Pill is his last trump card and his key reliance in this breakthrough battle.

Before, I had never dared to use the Shenhua Pill rashly, just to prevent any unexpected events from happening and I would have no one to rely on.

At this moment, even the most important Shenhua Pill was broken.

This means that the impact of this spiritual transformation has reached the most critical moment.
