Chapter 123 Red Clouds Emerge from the Fiery Cloud Cave
The ancient Qiankun Cauldron still hovered in front of the Qiankun Daoist, but the brilliant light that had flowed on it was now noticeably dimmer, as if it had suffered a great loss of vitality.
Even more alarming is that on the outside of the incredibly hard cauldron, which is said to be impervious to all laws, at the core of the collision with the chaotic finger force, there was a very faint but real grayish-white fingerprint indentation about the size of a fingernail!
Clearly, even the Qiankun Cauldron, a supreme innate treasure, was not entirely unharmed after enduring Zhen Yuanzi's full-force attack, which combined the power of three spiritual treasures and was driven by the intent of chaos. Its essence was shaken and consumed to some extent!
At this moment, Qiankun Daoist finally gained this crucial moment of buffer thanks to the Qiankun Cauldron.
And the pure and powerful primordial energy of the universe that came back when the treasure protected its master nourished and impacted the primordial spirit, and suddenly broke free from the strange and powerful "Earth Reincarnation" confinement!
The confusion and disorientation in his eyes receded like the tide, and he regained his clarity, but a trace of lingering fear and apprehension remained deep in his pupils.
His face was deathly pale, devoid of any color, and his aura fluctuated wildly and chaotically. In particular, he felt intense pain, as if being torn apart, coming from the depths of his primordial spirit, making it difficult for him to maintain a stable Dao body.
Clearly, the brief but extremely dangerous loss of consciousness and the forced break free had caused considerable real trauma to his soul, which could not be healed in a short time.
He was utterly shocked, his eyes filled with disbelief as he looked at Zhen Yuanzi, who stood in the void ahead, his expression still as cold and stern as ancient ice, his aura slightly diminished by the full force of his attack, yet still giving off an unfathomable and boundless feeling.
Immediately, his self-awareness fell upon the dim and marked Qiankun Cauldron in front of him, and a huge wave surged in his heart, making it impossible for him to maintain his previous composure and arrogance!
He realized that he had seriously underestimated this seemingly calm and unknown opponent!
The opponent not only possesses several top-tier spiritual treasures with astonishing power, combining offense and defense without any weaknesses, but also masters such a bizarre and unpredictable mental attack technique that directly targets the origin of the true spirit!
His combat experience and mastery of fighter jets are extremely sophisticated!
If the Qiankun Cauldron hadn't automatically protected its master and reacted even faster than his own conscious will, that hazy finger force would have instantly annihilated his primordial spirit. Even though he was transformed from the remnant body of a Chaos Demon God and had a special origin, he would have had no chance of survival and would have surely died!
In an instant, the Fire Cloud Cave and the ultimate opportunity were all overshadowed by this intense shadow of death.
The greed and competitive spirit in Qiankun Daoren's heart were instantly extinguished as if doused with ice water, and in turn, an extremely strong and almost uncontrollable desire to retreat arose!
Even the best opportunities are ultimately external, and you still need to be alive to enjoy them!
Continuing to fight to the death against such a terrifying opponent, even if one can barely survive with the help of the Qiankun Cauldron, will inevitably come at an unbearable price, making it a losing proposition!
As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn! Once this thought arose, it quickly occupied his entire mind.
Just as Qiankun Daoist's face turned deathly pale, his mind completely consumed by horror and the urge to retreat, his inner power surging as he began to prepare an escape technique, ready to disregard his reputation and withdraw—"Buzz!"
A vast, peaceful yet undeniably majestic wave suddenly spread out from the hidden entrance of the Fire Cloud Cave!
Immediately afterwards, the space at the entrance rippled like water, and a figure stepped out, surrounded by crimson clouds like flames and noble and heavy Xuanhuang aura. His aura was harmonious and full, even more profound and magnificent than before he entered. It was Hongyun!
He has already completed the initial communication and refinement of the core essence of the Fire Cloud Cave. Although he has not fully mastered all the mysteries of this top-level cave, he is already able to mobilize some of the cave's power to empower himself and establish an inseparable connection with this place.
As soon as he emerged from seclusion, he immediately sensed the terrifying energy turbulence outside that had not yet completely subsided, as well as the tense situation of Zhen Yuanzi confronting a powerful, unfamiliar being.
The appearance of the red cloud was like throwing a heavy weight onto an already tilted scale.
With a quick glance, he instantly grasped the situation on the field: Zhen Yuanzi's aura was steady, and although he was slightly exhausted, his fighting spirit was high, clearly giving him the upper hand.
On the other hand, the Qiankun Daoist was in a state of disordered breathing and had an ugly face. The ancient cauldron in front of him was dim and even showed signs of damage.
"Brother Dao!" Hong Yun called out, and in a flash, he arrived beside Zhen Yuanzi, standing shoulder to shoulder with him.
His primordial aura, a harmonious blend of the four elements, emanated from his body without reservation, resonating and merging with Zhen Yuanzi's heavy, chaotic aura to create an even stronger sense of oppression, sweeping towards Qiankun Daoren like an invisible wave.
Although he did not make a move immediately, his menacing gaze and undisguised hostility clearly indicated his stance.
When Qiankun Daoist saw Hongyun appear, his heart tightened at first, but then he inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief!
He had already considered retiring, but out of respect for the reputation of a Hunyuan Golden Immortal, it would be a disgrace to his reputation as a Chaos Demon God if he were forced to retreat by Zhen Yuanzi alone. He felt a sense of resentment and inner conflict.
However, the appearance of Hongyun at this moment gave him an excellent reason to retreat that was convincing enough to convince himself and even the outside world!
It's not that I fear Zhen Yuanzi alone, but rather that he has two Hunyuan Golden Immortals joining forces! To fight against overwhelming odds is something a wise man would not do!
The thought flashed through Qiankun Daoist's mind like lightning, instantly washing away any lingering hesitation and shame in his heart.
A wise man doesn't suffer a loss in front of him; this is a principle that applies everywhere!
"Hmph!" Qiankun Daoist forced a breath, suppressing the excruciating pain in his primordial spirit, and coldly snorted, his expression fierce but his heart weak. His gaze swept over Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun. "Good! Well done, Zhen Yuanzi! I didn't expect you to have an accomplice hiding in the cave! I will remember what happened today! I will surely repay you handsomely in the future!"
Having uttered these polite words, Qiankun Daoist no longer hesitated! His thought of escaping transformed into the most decisive action!
"Boundless universe, transcending the vast world!"
He suddenly formed an extremely profound hand seal with both hands, and the laws of space around him fluctuated violently with unprecedented intensity!
The Qiankun Cauldron, which hovered in front of him and whose radiance was slightly dim, emitted a deep hum. The mouth of the cauldron suddenly pointed at him and released an even denser amount of chaotic energy, which enveloped his body tightly.
At the same time, he took a mysterious step, as if he had stepped on a node of the primordial space's veins!
"Whoosh!"
The next moment, the figure of Qiankun Daoist became extremely blurry, as if it had instantly transformed into thousands of illusory spatial phantoms that shot off in all directions!
Each phantom exudes a similar aura, disturbing the surrounding spatial coordinates, making it difficult to discern its true location.
This was his trump card for survival—using the Qiankun Cauldron to disrupt the heavenly secrets and confuse perception, while simultaneously using his own spatial Dao to evolve countless illusory images, while his true body was hidden in layers of spatial faults, intending to escape to a place hundreds of millions of miles away at the fastest speed!
His attack was sudden and incredibly fast, clearly premeditated, pouring all his remaining magical power into this escape technique in an attempt to get away!
