Chapter 1474 : Yellow Dragon Ancient Ding
After these thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, Eldrin immediately looked at the Central Earth Deity and said, "The Dark Roc King has a grudge against me, and the Azure Dragon Lord is a powerful figure of the dragon tribe. I can understand why they would attack me."
"Yet I bear no grievance against you, sir. For what reason have you chosen to strike at me?"
"Indeed, there is neither grievance nor enmity between us."
The Central Wutu Deity nodded, then with a flick of his sleeve, extended a palm.
Eldrin (Person Name) looked up and saw an ancient cauldron of blinding radiance slowly rotating in his palm.
The cauldron stood with 3 legs and 2 handles, its entire body forged from Tribulation Gold. A golden true dragon coiled and soared across its surface.
Yellow Dragon World-Suppressing Cauldron.
Eldrin spoke softly, a trace of helplessness coloring his expression.
In ancient times, after the Primordial Chaos Artifact '9 Dragons Ancient Cauldron' shattered, it divided into 9 Heaven-Sundering Supreme Treasures.
It is now confirmed that the Azure Dragon Ancient Cauldron is in the hands of the Azure Dragon Lord, while the Crimson Dragon and Black Dragon Ancient Cauldrons are held by Eldrin (Person Name).
Currently, the Yellow Dragon Ancient Cauldron of the earth element was in the hands of the Central Earth Deity. To reassemble the complete set of 9 Dragon Ancient Cauldrons, it was only natural that the Central Earth Deity would make a move against him.
The Central Earth Deity nodded slightly and said in an even tone, "The 9 Dragon Ancient Cauldron of yore was a mid-grade Primordial Treasure."
After splitting into 9 ancient cauldrons, the 5 sacred vessels—Yang Dragon, Wind Dragon, Thunder Dragon, Ice Dragon, and Golden Dragon—have now all departed from the Western Aether Divine Abyss Sea.
"The remaining 4 are all assembled today."
Azure Dragon Lord also gave a slight nod and spoke calmly, "If our Western Abyss Dragon Palace can gather all 4 ancient cauldrons, we might be able to claim that Golden Dragon Ancient Cauldron."
Thus, the 5 elemental ancient cauldrons merged into 1, coalescing into the legendary 5 Dragons Ancient Cauldron—a lower-grade Taiyi Ancient Cauldron.
"If you know what's good for you, hand over the 2 ancient cauldrons obediently. This Sovereign guarantees I won't lay a finger on you today."
Hearing this, Eldrin finally understood that today’s battle would likely not end peacefully.
Azure Dragon Sovereign was a demonic sanctuary, bearing deep-seated enmity toward humankind. Moreover, Eldrin had slain both the Wei Sea Dragon Lord and the master of 1000 Dragons Lake, rendering reconciliation between their factions utterly impossible.
As for the God Tribe, though no conflict exists between us for now, the future remains uncertain.
Not to mention the Red Dragon and Black Dragon, 2 ancient cauldrons that were currently Eldrin’s most powerful trump cards. He would absolutely never give them up.
With this thought in mind, Eldrin still couldn't resist provoking: "Having all the ancient cauldrons fall into 1 person's hands would be most ideal. Even if you obtained them, how would you ultimately distribute them among yourselves?"
“Azure Dragon Lord, do you truly believe you can contend with the Central Wuji Earth Deity?”
As the words fell, a glint of cold flashed in Azure Dragon Lord's eyes as he instinctively glanced toward the Central Earth Spirit Deity.
Azure Dragon Lord was a top-tier Earth Immortal who had opened 7 celestial layers, reaching the Great Perfection stage. Yet he remained far inferior to the Central Wuji Earth Deity.
The advantages of the 3 Primordial Foundations were far too immense. Even though the Azure Dragon Lord considered himself extraordinary, facing an opponent who also wielded a Primordial Chaos Treasure, he knew with absolute certainty that he stood no chance against the Central Wuji Earth Deity in a true confrontation.
Amidst the Great Tribulation, the upper echelons of the Western Abyss Dragon Palace suffered over half their elite forces in casualties. With the Celestial Immortals unable to intervene, these ancient cauldrons likely fell entirely into the hands of the Central Wutu Deities.
Noticing Azure Dragon Lord's gaze, the Central Earth Deity remained utterly unperturbed, showing not the slightest intention of relinquishing the 2 ancient cauldrons.
With his hands clasped behind his back, his expression cold and detached, he declared, "There is no need for your attempts to sow discord. Treasures belong to those with the strength to claim them."
"Although you managed to get the Lord of the Flowing Fire Star Palace killed, it wasn't through your own power."
"If you lack the strength to protect them today, keeping these 2 ancient cauldrons would only invite certain death. Better to entrust them to me and earn a favor in return."
"If you possess sufficient strength to withstand my strike today, then temporarily wielding it would be of no consequence."
"Bzzz—"
As the voice faded, the Central Earth Deity flicked his sleeve. The Yellow Dragon Ancient Cauldron swelled with the wind, transforming in an instant into a sky-obscuring ancient cauldron spanning millions of miles, crashing down toward the mountain-protecting array with overwhelming force.
In an instant, the entire 10-1000-Mile Lingering Sunset Formation trembled violently.
The Crimson Sun Blessed Land was not particularly high-grade, and the power of its mountain-protecting formation was not overwhelmingly strong. Even when channeled by 7 Earth Immortals at the late stage, its potency had clear limits.
At this moment, as the Central Earth Deity exerted its power, the suppression from the Yellow Dragon Ancient Cauldron caused the 10-1000-Mile Dusklight Array to show faint signs of fracturing.
"Alas."
Seeing this, Eldrin let out a faint sigh before speaking, "It seems today, I must still owe a few more favors."
"Hahaha."
"Today, you owe this old man a favor as well."
Beside him, Daoist Zixuan chuckled heartily as he stroked his long beard.
With a flick of his sleeve, he unleashed a blinding arc of lightning to suppress the opposing force, intercepting the Yellow Dragon Ancient Cauldron.
Zixuan (Person Name).
The instant he saw who had struck, the Central Earth Deity’s brow furrowed slightly. With a flick of his sleeve, he summoned the ancient cauldron, driving it forth to suppress his foe.
"Elder Zi Xuan, times have changed."
"Now that I have obtained the Yellow Dragon Ancient Cauldron in my grasp, do you still dare to challenge this venerable 1?"
"Relying solely on your treasure's advantage, are you? Have the guts to set aside our artifacts and settle this 1-on-1."
But then, the old Daoist Zixuan let out a cold sneer, transforming into a flash of lightning to evade the strike. In the next instant, he channeled the 9 Heavens Divine Thunder Sword Qi, slashing toward the Central Earth Deity at the heart of the formation.
The Central Earth Deity remained expressionless. With a mere flick of his sleeve, a colossal hand that blotted out the heavens descended with overwhelming force, intercepting the strike. He then channeled his power into the Ancient Yellow Dragon Cauldron, driving it forward to continue its suppressive assault.
"Childish!"
Witnessing this scene, Eldrin could no longer restrain himself.
With a mere flick of his sleeve, a colossal black dragon ancient cauldron that blotted out the skies soared into the air, intercepting the overwhelming strike.
The Central Wutu Deity was greatly astonished at the sight and remarked, "Only at the fourth level of Earth Immortal, yet you can wield a Primordial Chaos Treasure! No wonder you're hailed as the most prodigious talent the Western Abyssal Sea has seen in a million years."
With those final words, the Central Earth Deity cast a glance at the Azure Dragon Lord and the Dark Roc King.
The 2 exchanged a knowing glance and immediately made their move. In the blink of an eye, the Azure Dragon Ancient Cauldron descended with overwhelming might, pressing down upon the mountain-protecting formation until it seemed to gasp for breath under the immense pressure.
"Fellow Daoist, do not panic. We are here to aid you."
At that very moment, several figures emerged from the void, soaring through the air.
It was none other than the Nether Lord of the Ancient Ruins, the Celestial Abyss Daoist, the 7 Mysteries Daoist, and others.
More crucially, Daoist 7 Mysteries arrived with the heaven-splitting treasure 'Eightfold Celestial Dragon Tapestry' and intercepted the ancient Azure Dragon Cauldron.
Meanwhile, several figures stood facing each other in the heavens above.
Had Eldrin been present, he would have recognized 2 of them as the Glazed Divine Lord and the Ancestor of 10 1000 Spirits.
Among the others, 1 was clad in imperial robes while another wore the attire of a violet-robed Daoist—both seemed to be at the Half-Step Celestial Immortal realm.
The figure clad in imperial robes was known as the Great Peng Demon Emperor, rumored to be the paramount powerhouse among the demonic races of the Western Aether Divine Abyss Sea.
The Purple Robe Daoist, known as Daoist Kunxu, was also the ruler of a sea territory bordering the Flowing Rivers and 100 Seas.
