Chapter 1183 Heaven Refining Cauldron
The battle is about to break out.
Black flames, carrying the malevolent aura of the remnant soul of the Taotie, swept in like a tidal wave.
Wherever it passed, the air sizzled and crackled, and even the space itself seemed to ripple with distortion.
Su Xiaoya flicked her wrist, and the Water Heart Sword emitted a clear and melodious hum, which resounded all around like a dragon's roar.
The sword shimmered with a crystal-clear blue light, as if it contained endless vitality and mysterious power.
With a gentle wave of her hand, the blue light suddenly burst forth, sweeping forward like a surging wave.
Just then, Su Xiaoya lightly tiptoed, and like a startled wild goose, she flew backward at an astonishing speed.
At the same time, the sword in her hand went against the grain, its sharpness and unstoppable momentum charging straight towards the raging black flames.
A sharp, piercing sound rang out as Su Xiaoya's sword drew a beautiful yet eerie arc in the air.
Wherever it passed, a transparent curtain of water appeared out of thin air!
This water curtain, like a giant inverted glass dome, emitted a faint mist and soft light, steadily blocking the fierce black fire in front.
ziz......
The moment water and fire clashed, a chilling sound was emitted, as if the entire space had been torn apart.
The black fire did not extinguish immediately upon encountering the water curtain; instead, it seemed to be enraged and became even more violent.
It spewed upwards with ferocious force, the fire growing ever larger, seemingly trying to break free from the water curtain's restraints.
Upon seeing this, Su Xiaoya was startled.
Her eyes widened as she stared intently at the black flames before her, secretly marveling: the flames of this remnant soul of the Taotie were truly extraordinary, so strange and unpredictable, definitely not comparable to ordinary mortal fire!
Truly worthy of being one of the four great ferocious beasts of the primordial era, its reputation is well-deserved!
In the blink of an eye, Yu Shuheng's figure vanished without a trace, like a ghost.
Spatial swordsmanship is like a ghost emerging from its body, and it excels at striking unexpectedly.
With a soft "whoosh," like a silver snake emerging from its hole, a silver-white sword light suddenly tore through space from the side and rear of the Taotie's remnant soul, carrying an incomparably sharp aura, and pierced straight for the illusory figure's brow like a sharp arrow.
This sword strike was as fast as the wind, its angle so tricky it was astonishing. Even the remnant soul of the Taotie, with its overwhelming ferocity, couldn't help but be startled and hurriedly dodged to the side. The sword light grazed its shoulder and actually cut a shocking gash in the illusory black shadow. The dense evil aura dissipated in an instant like a flood bursting its banks.
"You overconfident ant, prepare to die!"
The remnant soul of the Taotie was enraged, its hair standing on end, roaring hoarsely, the sinister intent in its voice seemingly solidifying into reality.
It flew into a rage, suddenly raised its hand, and the black flames in its palm surged like a volcanic eruption, actually condensing into a flaming spear more than ten feet long.
The patterns of ferocious beast fangs faintly appeared on the spear. As soon as they appeared, the surrounding temperature dropped sharply as if falling into an ice cellar. A savage and malevolent aura from the primordial era crushed towards the two of them like Mount Tai pressing down on an egg.
To everyone's dismay, the little monster from Langlang Mountain had quietly and silently squatted on the edge of the Refining Heaven Cauldron.
Uh!
Having been a demon for so long, it's taken it a while to adjust.
His big eyes blinked rapidly, and he propped his chin up with his hand (he probably thought they were furry little paws), intently watching the two sides engaged in a fierce battle.
After watching for a while, the little monster from Langlang Mountain seemed to have suddenly discovered something extraordinary. Its eyes lit up, and it shouted at the top of its lungs, "Little girl! Look! This guy's soul seems a bit unstable! We should concentrate our efforts on attacking that ball of essence blood! Because that ball of essence blood is its lifeblood!"
These words struck like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, causing Su Xiaoya and Yu Shuheng, who were completely focused on the battle, to tremble and feel an indescribable sense of shock.
The two glanced quickly at the little monster from Langlang Mountain. Although his behavior was still strange, he hadn't forgotten who he was on his side.
The two exchanged a glance—and when they looked in the direction the little monster was pointing, they were surprised to find that beneath that ethereal figure, the once calm and still interior of the Refining Heaven Cauldron was now turbulent and stormy.
The essence blood was churning like boiling water, with wisps of eerie, pitch-black mist constantly gushing out and pouring into the remnant soul of the Taotie at an astonishing speed.
It is obvious that this remnant soul of the Taotie relies on these mysterious and unpredictable black mists to barely maintain its broken form and exist in the world.
Seeing that its greatest weakness had been exposed to the enemy without reservation, the remnant soul of the Taotie let out a deafening roar.
At the same time, the spear it was holding tightly, burning with raging flames, was also thrown out violently.
In an instant, the spear tip seemed to transform into a shooting star streaking across the sky, rushing straight toward Su Xiaoya and Yu Shuheng with an incomparably fierce momentum, even creating a series of ear-piercing and sharp sounds along the way.
"Flash!" Yu Shuheng's voice suddenly rang out.
Just as the two passed each other, Su Xiaoya suddenly turned to the left with lightning speed.
At the same time, she swiftly swung the Water Heart Sword in her hand, drawing an arc-shaped trajectory.
In an instant, a powerful stream of water gushed out from the sword, forming a roaring water dragon.
The water dragon, with its powerful momentum, charged towards the spear burning with raging flames.
The two collided violently in mid-air, producing a deafening roar.
Water splashed everywhere, and flames shot into the sky, creating a spectacular scene.
On the other side, Yu Shuheng, like a ghost, swayed slightly and disappeared from the spot again.
In the blink of an eye, he had arrived directly above the Refining Heaven Cauldron, like an immortal descending to earth.
At that moment, the sword light in his hand suddenly erupted, as if it were about to tear the void apart.
This sword beam contained boundless power and was incomparably sharp, slashing straight down towards the essence blood in the cauldron!
"You audacious madman, how dare you touch my life essence!" Upon seeing this, the remnant soul of the Taotie was instantly enraged, its eyes wide open, wishing it could tear Yu Shuheng to pieces immediately.
Without hesitation, it abandoned everything and desperately pounced on Yu Shuheng.
Suddenly, the Taotie's remnant soul's illusory hand turned pitch black, wreathed in eerie black flames.
The flames gathered and multiplied, eventually coalescing into the shape of a ferocious Taotie claw, emanating a chilling aura.
However, how could Su Xiaoya just stand by and watch the remnant soul of the Taotie harm Yu Shuheng?
With a delicate shout, her spiritual energy surged forth, instantly reaching its peak. Then, she unleashed her most prized sword technique, "Azure Water Returns," with unparalleled skill.
In an instant, countless crystal-clear water threads appeared out of thin air. They intertwined and entangled with each other, eventually converging into a thick water lock.
The water lock, as if alive, twisted its body flexibly and quickly wrapped around the limbs of the Taotie's remnant soul.
It's this very moment!
Yu Shuheng's sword light had already fallen!
"boom!"
The sword light struck the essence blood like thunder, unleashing a deafening roar. The Refining Heaven Cauldron trembled violently like a lone boat in a storm, and the essence blood inside the cauldron exploded like a volcanic eruption, with countless streaks of blood-red light scattering in all directions like meteors.
The remnant soul of the Taotie let out a blood-curdling scream, its form instantly becoming mostly transparent, and its evil aura dissipated at a visible speed like a tide.
"No—I am an ancient ferocious beast! How could I die at the hands of you ants!"
It struggled frantically like a trapped beast, its body engulfed in raging black flames, attempting to self-destruct its soul and perish together with the two of them.
Su Xiaoya's eyes sharpened like cold stars, her wrist flicked like a serpent, and the Water Heart Sword flew out of her hand like an arrow, transforming into a streak of light that pierced the remnant soul of the Taotie with lightning precision between its brows.
"Azure waters lock in the soul!"
As the low shout rang out, the Water Heart Sword emitted a dazzling blue light, and ripples spread out from the sword's body like a copper wall and an iron barrier, tightly locking the remnant soul of the Taotie.
At the same time, Yu Shuheng landed back on the ground like a bird, his hands moving rapidly like phantoms, forming hand seals. Spatial power spread out like clouds and mist, enveloping the soul that was about to self-destruct.
"Zizi..."
Under the combined pressure of the water lock and the power of space, the soul gradually melted away like ice and snow, eventually turning into a wisp of smoke and dissipating into the air like a ghost.
The essence blood within the Refining Heaven Cauldron gradually returned to calm, but within that crimson color, a faint blue light appeared, as dazzling as a sapphire, blending with the essence of myriad fires and emitting a mysterious and strange aura.
Su Xiaoya breathed a long sigh of relief, sheathed her Water Heart Sword, and looked at the changes inside the cauldron. She couldn't help but smile bitterly: "This treasure really was obtained at the cost of my life."
Yu Shuheng walked to her side, nodded slightly, and looked at the Refining Heaven Cauldron, seemingly lost in thought: "After the Taotie blood essence is fused with the essence of ten thousand fires, unexpected changes will probably occur."
