Chapter 62: Escaping the Predicament

  Upon witnessing this scene, the people inside the Alchemy Cauldron once again rose with hope. Mu Yuan's six sword pellets flew out in a hurry, transforming into a sheet of cold light that froze everything in its path. The six talismans continued to fly about wildly, pouncing on any demonic beasts they encountered and absorbing their demonic energy. Whenever they came across rare demonic beasts, Mu Yuan would casually capture them with the Black Water Gourd. His heart was still filled with endless admiration for the numerous varieties of demonic beasts.

  The Danhuo Old Ancestor's Heavenly Fire Formation had trapped the Wuyin Old Ancestor, but he really couldn't do anything to him. Although the Wuyin Old Ancestor was initially ambushed by the Danhuo Old Ancestor and suffered some minor injuries, his primordial spirit remained unscathed, and his physical body was a top-grade treasure, so although he couldn't break out, he wasn't in any great danger either.

  "Those little guys inside are probably in a precarious situation, this can't go on like this! Danhuo Lao Dao's heart was filled with worry, although he didn't know the wonderful uses of the Yao Hu, he also knew that this treasure was absolutely not an ordinary object. The ones with the highest cultivation inside haven't even reached Dan Cheng yet, and now time is running out, it's probably more bad than good!"

  Although anxious in his heart, he couldn't do anything to the opponent for a while, and several times he charged into the formation with Huo Long Sword, but was countered by the opponent's sneak attack, almost being killed.

  Although the people in the pot didn't know the true situation outside, they could see that the fierce flames surrounding them were intense, but the layer of black light net wrapped around Wu Yin Lao Zu's body was extremely tenacious. The faint glow on his skin wasn't eye-catching, but it emitted a distant and vast aura. Mu Yuan gritted his teeth, and his true energy surged wildly, gathering all his strength. In the midst of the dark clouds and waves, the light of the Pu Du mantra burst forth, transforming into a long rainbow that flew back to him. Mu Yuan's dantian sank instantly, and with a wave of his hand, a purple electric light shot out like a dragon, swelling up as soon as it touched the air. In an instant, it transformed into a massive sword peak, similar to the Tong Tian Sword Peak. Mu Yuan's entire body was about to burst, all his acupoints, blood, and meridians were inflated to their limits, and his bones emitted a clear ringing sound. The Chang Sheng Sword transformed into a Tong Tian divine light, slashing horizontally with fury, and pouring in the Dragon King's energy that resonated with the Chang Sheng Sword. Purple electricity flew wildly, thunder shook angrily, and the wind, clouds, mountains, and waters between heaven and earth were all shocked and terrified. The already unstable space suddenly exploded with a loud crash.

  The five yin old ancestor was being roasted by the fierce and violent heavenly fire, when suddenly his whole body burst open with a dazzling display of colorful energy. A massive force exploded from within his body, as if it were about to be torn apart, causing him immense pain. The dan fire old dao didn't know what was happening, but he knew that something was wrong with the other party. He quickly activated his technique, and the fierce fire flag gate turned furiously, sending several balls of flame flying out. The talismans on the long banner also flew out, merged with the flames, and transformed into several ferocious fire beasts. With their sharp claws and tongues of flame, they let out a deafening roar as they pounced forward, each grabbing onto the yin evil soul-stealing net. With one fierce tug, there was a loud explosion, like the sound of tearing silk, and the yin evil energy burst open, dispersing everywhere. The five yin old ancestor's painstakingly refined treasure had turned into nothing but wisps of smoke drifting away!

  The treasure itself was powerful, but it was still difficult to resist the power of the formation! With a small array, the power of heaven and earth was originally more powerful than simple treasures. The fierce fire bees swarmed up, and under the internal and external attack of Wuyin Old Ancestor, the true energy was exhausted, and Muyuan saw a bright light in front of him, the flames bursting out, rolling up Huaxin and Jiyun directly fleeing outward!

  Several people below also seized this opportunity, gathered the remaining true energy, and made a desperate effort to rush out. Some demon beasts were also rolling in the loud roar, whipping up strong winds, and fleeing outward!

  Mu Yuan took the lead, and when he arrived at the spatial rift, he saw countless talismans floating and changing, flashing and flickering. The soft and fluffy Longsheng Sword returned to its original shape, and the infinite sword energy burst out in a frenzy under the urging of the Dragon King's momentum, transforming into a group of nine-clawed dragons that danced and leaped with boundless power. With a loud crash, Mu Yuan's body was like being pierced by countless sharp needles, his muscles burning, his body shaking violently as if electrocuted. He knew he had used too much force and was also counterattacked by the talismans of the Refining Cauldron, but there was only one chance, so he didn't care about anything else. The Longsheng Sword chopped horizontally and vertically, enveloping his entire body in a layer of purple misty sword energy, stirring up whirlwinds above and attracting earth energy below. Its power was far greater than before!

  The Lian Yao Hu is an ancient divine artifact, and the Chang Sheng Sword, although it was said by the old dragon soul that it is not inferior to the divine artifacts in the hands of those great gods, still cannot match this artifact. Fortunately, the Dragon King's movement is exactly the perfect match for the Chang Sheng Sword's ultimate technique. The Wu Yin Old Ancestor himself could not control this treasure, but only placed his primordial spirit on it. Moreover, being urged by the Dan Huo Old Dao's fierce fire array, he was restrained in one move and could no longer turn the tide. He was actually split open by Mu Yuan, breaking free from the seal!

  Several people following Mu Yuan looked at the purple sword energy surrounding Mu Yuan's body, and they were all shocked. The Longevity Sword was wrapped in a thick purple light, making it completely invisible, but the swirling sword energy around Mu Yuan was even more astonishing. They couldn't help but feel that they wouldn't be able to withstand several moves, and Yu Neng and Shang were even more shocked, never having thought that this unimpressive-looking guy would be so formidable!

  Hua Xuan had seen Mu Yuan and Hua Zhenzi's fight with Jyun Cloud earlier, and was already amazed by Mu Yuan's skills. Now, this aura compared to the past, is simply in a different league, even ordinary Dan Cheng cultivators can't catch up to him!

  Muyuan's great sword stood upright, and even though the Refining Demon Vessel's internal restrictions were formidable, the scene had already been turned upside down. The Longevity Sword's sharp edge pierced through several talismans, and Muyuan let out a soft whistle as he pulled Huaxin and Jinyin along, fleeing in a mad dash!

  Right behind them were Yuan Neng and Yuan Jue, the two great monks. The two of them also burst out with all their might, the dense talismans around them squirming and twisting as if they were about to close in again. The three Fantian sisters' sword auras danced wildly, striking down from above, but the powerful backlash actually blew the three flying swords into powder. However, the three of them managed to charge out safely!

  Bursting out of the pot, Mu Yuan's eyes were met with a sea of flames that covered the sky and earth. The fierce blaze rose and churned, as a large hand shrouded in dark energy reached out and grabbed him again!

  "Mo Tou Xiu Kuang!" Dan Huo Lao Dao was overjoyed to see the three escape, and with a flourish of his Fire Dragon Sword, he summoned a vast expanse of flames that filled the sky like a rolling river. His true energy surged forth in a frenzy, causing Wu Yin Lao Zu to cry out in agony. No longer able to pursue the trio, Wu Yin Lao Zu turned to engage Dan Huo Lao Dao in battle instead. Mu Yuan let out a sigh of relief, his body still reeling from the intense effort he had exerted to escape the Lian Yao Hu. The aftereffects were now taking hold, leaving him feeling scorching hot and unbearably uncomfortable all over.

  Whether it was Changsheng Jue or Chaotai Liufang, they were all incompatible with the surrounding Heavenly Fire of Dantian, and suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable. Huaxin and Jianyun, on the other hand, were like fish in water, with a large amount of fire essence yuanqi rushing into their bodies, and their spirits were all refreshed. However, Mu Yuan was seen to be sweating profusely, and the "Tiantian Huanri" technique that Chaotai Liufang had activated had dissipated, revealing his true face. The muscles on his face kept twitching, obviously feeling extremely uncomfortable!

  "Get out first!" Hua Xuan pulled Mu Yuan, he and Jin Yun were both proud disciples of Dan Huo Lao Dao, familiar with the Tian Lie Huo Great Array, not to mention that the array's power was now bestowed on Wu Yin Lao Zu, making it extremely easy.

  Muyuan's mind was a bit dazed, and he felt his true energy slowly escaping with the sweat. He couldn't help but sigh at how powerful this formation was. Turning back to look, he saw that Wuyin Old Ancestor's body had once again been shrouded in a dazzling light, and the gap opened by Changsheng Sword had already been sealed up!

  Ling Siyuan and Xiao Tianyu were unexpectedly trapped inside!

  "It's truly a blessing from heaven, our wishes have come true!" Mu Yuan exclaimed in his heart. The two great monks, Yuan Neng and Yuan Jue, who had cultivated the Mahavairocana True Fire, were also having a relatively easy time in this formation. However, the three sisters, Huan Chen, Huan Yan, and Huan Meng, were genuinely imbued with the icy cold energy of the Heavenly Mountains, which countered Mu Yuan's abilities perfectly. Their long white dresses fluttered as they shivered, and Yun Yun hastily went to lead the five of them out!

  Out of the Alchemy Cauldron, through the Blazing Fire Array, Mu Yuan finally let out a sigh of relief. However, all around him were boiling flames, and all the exotic spiritual energies had been repelled by the Heavenly Blazing Fire Array. Mu Yuan sat down cross-legged, only able to mobilize the spiritual energy within the Black Water Gourd to replenish himself. As soon as he did so, the Black Water Gourd began to shake violently, and several gigantic demonic beasts broke through the gourd's seal, flying out!

  "Damn it!" Mu Yuan naturally didn't know that in the demon-refining pot, the Black Water Gourd was also isolated, and the demon-refining power reached it. These demonic beasts weren't so bad, but after leaving the demon-refining pot for a short time, these innately powerful demonic beasts quickly absorbed a large amount of primordial energy and actually gained some spiritual powers. The seal on the Black Water Gourd wasn't very strong to begin with, and Mu Yuan was unguarded, opening the gourd and allowing these demonic beasts to escape!

  A giant dragon with a pair of wings on its back, a ferocious tiger with white stripes all over its body, and a lizard with hard scales... All of them rushed out in a swarm. The spirits of these demonic beasts had been killed by the Lian Yao Hu, leaving only their most primitive instincts. After escaping, they did not immediately flee, but instead sensed the aura of the Lian Yao Hu on Wu Yin's body. Unbeknownst to how many years of accumulated resentment had seeped into their bones and blood, they let out a series of angry roars and pounced towards Wu Yin in the formation!
