Chapter 315: The Taste of Wrath (1/2)
The next day, Jiang Li went to work as usual and secretly did something to those rune bricks when no one was paying attention.
Although he still needed to add an extra step when drawing runes, his speed still far exceeded others.
However, this time, he did not immediately hand over the bricks. Instead, he secretly transferred the finished bricks to the other resistance cultivators hiding nearby.
This way, he would not arouse suspicion by handing over too many black bricks in a day.
Master Bitter would come over from time to time to take a look. He was the greatest threat in the plan.
However, every time this happened, the array formation that was heating the entire cauldron would suddenly fluctuate. It was either too cold or too hot, causing him to be unable to care about anything else.
This was because the main force providing spiritual qi to the array formation were the captives from the Rock Mountain Range captured in the battle.
They were trapped in the underground cell, squeezing out spiritual qi every day to provide enough fierce spirit fire.
Huyan Long'an's reputation in Blackstone City was not low. He used the spirit stones he had accumulated in the past to bribe some prison guards to go in and communicate with the captives inside.
As long as he sent a secret signal, the captives below would increase or reduce the output of their firepower.
They had the most people, so when they exerted strength together, it would cause obvious fluctuations in the temperature of the spirit fire.
If he did not adjust it in time, the entire refinement might be destroyed.
This was their way of diverting attention.
It was troublesome and effective.
Under the condition of maintaining safety, they could probably mix 30 bricks with problems in the huge cauldron every day.
The working period was getting closer and closer, so they could barely make up 200 in total.
During this period of time, Jiang Li had asked Huyan Long'an about the exact situation of the Blood King Cauldron and obtained some useful clues from him.
Just as Jiang Li had thought, the goal of creating this huge cauldron was to gain the Blood King Crown's gradual recognition.
The Blood King Crown was left behind by a rebel prince from the cultivation dynasty 7,000 to 8,000 years ago. It contained the aura of a blood flood dragon and could control tens of millions of blood soldiers.
They had forged this huge cauldron to refine the ten million blood soldiers.
Once the huge cauldron was refined, the survivors in Blackstone City would definitely be thrown into the cauldron and become blood soldiers.
Then, as the trump card army of the Myriad Slaughter Sect, they could become an unceasing army.
If he did not stop them, the Great Mountain Region would probably be the first target of this army.
Therefore, if the resistance cultivators of the Rock Mountain Range wanted to stop all of this, Jiang Li had to stop it.
As the black bricks fused together, the Blood King Cauldron was finally completed before the deadline.
The cauldron was clearly made of metal nails, but there was no trace on the surface.
Now, they were only one step away from awakening the spirit.
But before that, some people will be sacrificed.
After the last brick was added, all the Runic Array Masters were chased out of the venue.
Then, the temperature of the entire venue began to rise.
Before putting out the fire and awakening the spirit, they had to burn the entire cauldron red and unify the runes.
Not far away, Huyan Long'an, who was hiding in the crowd, had an ugly expression.
This was because the energy needed to push the array formation to the limit would suck all the fire-attribute cultivators in the dungeon dry.
They were destined to not be able to wait for help.
”Master Bitter, you've done well.”
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from behind.
Jiang Li seemed to have turned into a helpless child. A ferocious beast passed by him, causing his body to instinctively tense up and practically be unable to move.
A luxurious man wearing a red crown walked over from behind him. He brushed past them, and the surrounding people stepped aside and respectfully called him Sect Master.
Jiang Li hurriedly bowed as well and did not reveal any flaws.
This was the Sect Master of the Myriad Slaughter Sect. Just from his refined appearance, it was very difficult to think that he was actually the Sect Master of a Demon Sect.
He patted Master Bitter's shoulder.
Master Bitter habitually wanted to curse. When he saw that it was the Sect Master, he hurriedly restrained himself and changed into a smile.
Fortunately, he had completed the refinement of the large cauldron a few hours ago. If he had been a few hours late, that hand would have probably slapped his head.
Wu Fan, the Sect Master of the Myriad Slaughter Sect, was not afraid of the high temperature of the array formation in front of him at all. He walked into the array formation and reached out to grab one of the feet of the Blood King Cauldron. It was as if he had picked up a teacup as he carried the entire Blood King Cauldron to inspect it.
The scene was like an ant easily lifting a car. The exaggerated power gathered in a human's body, looking very strange.
While they were shocked by his strength, Jiang Li and the others were worried that the other party would notice something.
Fortunately, the parts that Jiang Li had tampered with were all on the side of the brick. After it was forged into the cauldron, it was already completely covered, and it was utterly impossible to notice with the naked eye.
Wu Fan nodded in satisfaction. In the end, he did not see any problem.
With a bang, the crimson cauldron was placed back on the ground.
The Sect Master of the Myriad Slaughter Sect stretched out his hand and grabbed, and a pitch-black shadow was captured from afar.
When they were far away, it did not look like much, but when the thing approached, Jiang Li realized that compared to it, even a train seemed so slender and short.
”Holy Spirit!”
Not far from Jiang Li, Huyan Long'an's voice was almost suppressed as he gritted his teeth.
The huge snake that was covered in scales like black jade was the faith of the cultivation world of the Rock Mountain Range. Before they became stronger, it had protected the humans here. Now, it was killed and its corpse was played around like this.
Any cultivator from the Rock Mountain Range would be furious when they saw this.
He suppressed the anger in his heart and took two steps to Jiang Li's side.
”You better leave quickly. Tonight, there will be a huge mess here!”
He stuffed a special snake scale into Jiang Li's hand, and then he left with the others.
He was going to the dungeon to rescue the captives.
The snake scale was the key to finding the Dragon Pearl. This fellow kept his promise. Jiang Li originally thought that he was just bluffing him, but he did not expect that he would actually fulfill his promise at this moment.
A large saber suddenly appeared in Wu Fan's hand. He casually waved it twice, and the huge snake body that was coiled in the air was cut into more than a hundred pieces.
A large amount of snake blood splattered down from the sky and landed on the red Blood King Cauldron.
The snake blood instantly vaporized on the high temperature metal surface, rising into a thick fog that blocked his vision.
The essence seeped into every part of the cauldron through the blood quenching.
The surrounding spiritual qi surged over crazily and entered the huge gap in the huge cauldron to fill it up.
The Blood King Cauldron's estimated grade was Earth-rank. The amount of spiritual qi needed was definitely an astronomical figure. The surrounding earth veins were not gathering, so the spiritual qi in the air was completely emptied in a short period of time.
Regarding this, the Myriad Slaughter Sect was already prepared.
