Chapter 1298: Martial Might Surges
December 11, 2017
As the situation in the Beyond-World grew tumultuous, Lu Hai Kong calmly waited in the Northern Defense Tower. Having experienced the fusion with the Yu Emperor Cauldron before, he was well aware that he would receive a reciprocal benefit from the Emperor Cauldron. Thus, he chose to stay put, quietly awaiting the Emperor Cauldron's response.
Lu Hai Kong's strength was at a bottleneck, and this reciprocal benefit from the Emperor Cauldron was an excellent opportunity for him to make a breakthrough.
Speaking of breakthroughs, it's worth mentioning that Lu Hai Kong's innate talent in Dao Art was not particularly remarkable.
Despite his numerous fortuitous encounters and the vast resources he had invested in himself, years had passed, and his Dao Art cultivation remained stuck at 99, without even a hint of talent. This left Lu Hai Kong feeling as if he were blindly groping in the dark.
If it weren't for Lu Hai Kong's keen awareness of the powerful energy accumulating within his soul as he refined the Azure Dragon Soul Fragment in his mind, and his intuition that this energy would erupt when he reached the 100th level, making him incredibly curious and reluctant to give up, he might have abandoned Dao Art long ago.
"However, no matter how strong that energy is, if I still can't break through the 100th level this time, I'll have to put Dao Art aside for now!"
In the Heavenly Firmament Palace, Lu Hai Kong whispered to himself, clearing his mind of all distractions. He sat in meditation within the palace, awaiting the fusion of the Emperor Cauldron.
Lu Hai Kong didn't anticipate any major issues or surprises during this fusion. After all, the last time he merged with the Yu Emperor Cauldron, he had faced the combined assault of the other eight Emperor Cauldrons, and the Emperor Cauldron had withstood that massive onslaught. This time, Lu Hai Kong was confident that the Emperor Cauldron, now even stronger than before, would surely prevail.
It must be said that Lu Hai Kong's confidence was somewhat risky.
He was unaware that the Emperor Cauldron's success in withstanding the retaliation of the other eight Yu Emperor Cauldrons during the previous fusion was not only due to secret assistance but also because the attack had been sudden, leaving those Cauldrons, especially the ones with owners, unprepared and their counterattacks rushed, resulting in insufficient force.
This time was different. When Lu Hai Kong suppressed the Yu Emperor Cauldron, the remaining seven Cauldrons were already aware of the situation. They had ample time to prepare and gather their strength. If they chose to counterattack now, their power would be far greater than before.
It's hard to say whether Lu Hai Kong was lucky or unlucky in this situation.
During this fusion, none of the Beyond-World big shots intervened to stop the Emperor Cauldron's absorption of the Yu Emperor Cauldron, even though they knew they could have interrupted it if they wanted to. Instead, they believed that a direct human extinction was more reliable than disrupting the Emperor Cauldron's absorption.
For this reason, the Beyond-World big shots quietly observed as the Emperor Cauldron slowly devoured the Yu Emperor Cauldron, and they weren't idle during this process.
They also activated the power of the Yu Emperor Cauldron in their possession.
At this moment, they were not using the power of the Yu Emperor Cauldron to target the Emperor Cauldron, but for another purpose.
When the Emperor Cauldron devoured the Yu Emperor Cauldron, it inevitably exposed certain aspects of the Three Kingdoms world, such as coordinates, which was exactly what the big shots were after.
Lu Hai Kong was completely unaware of this, and the only thing he noticed as unusual was that the Emperor Cauldron's devouring process seemed a little too smooth this time.
Lu Hai Kong had anticipated a clash of divine artifacts, and while it did occur, it did not reach the scale he had expected. Only the Yu Emperor Cauldron from the Three Kingdoms world appeared to support it.
With just the support of a single Yu Emperor Cauldron, there was no challenge for the Emperor Cauldron. Its majestic might easily overwhelmed the Yu Emperor Cauldron, and no matter how it struggled, it couldn't escape its fate of being devoured.
In just three hours, the Yu Emperor Cauldron turned into powder with a light sound, and then merged into the Emperor Cauldron!
It is worth mentioning that the devoured Yu Emperor Cauldron happened to be the Youzhou Bell, which made it quite interesting.
Youzhou was entirely under Lu Hai Kong's control, so when the Youzhou Bell was devoured by the Emperor Cauldron, a wonderful change occurred immediately.
The entire Youzhou's destiny energy was gathered, and for a moment, the Emperor Cauldron's might surged, emitting brilliant light, and the cauldron roared with a dragon's cry!
However, Lu Hai Kong had no time to observe this phenomenon at that moment.
After the Emperor Cauldron successfully devoured the Yu Emperor Cauldron, Lu Hai Kong's troubles, or rather, his delightful dilemma, began.
In his dantian, an enormous amount of incredibly pure and terrifying energy surged forth, and a mental energy dragon appeared in his Sea of Consciousness.
Perhaps because this Yu Emperor Cauldron was under his control, the Emperor Cauldron's feedback was exceptionally beneficial. Whether it was inner strength or mental energy, it was several times more potent than before!
But with great power came great trouble for Lu Hai Kong.
Despite the gentle nature of the two energies due to the Emperor Cauldron's feedback, the sheer volume was overwhelming.
With such a massive amount of energy, if Lu Hai Kong didn't handle it promptly, it would eventually cause significant problems for him, regardless of how gentle the nature of the energies was.
In this situation, Lu Hai Kong had no time to spare. He sat down cross-legged, and the inner strength from the Purple Qi Ascending Dragon Scripture surged wildly within him, continuously refining the endless inner strength emerging from his dantian.
Although there was a slight issue with the dantian, fortunately, this minor problem was well within Lu Hai Kong's capabilities.
Lu Hai Kong's mastery of martial arts was extraordinary, and with the exquisite Purple Qi Ascending Dragon Scripture, refining the incredibly pure inner strength was a simple task.
As Lu Hai Kong refined the energy, the pure energy from his dantian gradually transformed into his inner strength, and his martial might surged uncontrollably!
