Chapter 1682: Primordial Huge Beas
Until now, only less than a thousand cultivators had successfully ascended. There were more than ninety thousand people left.
Currently, half of these people had set their eyes on the Twelve Beast Immortal Patterns. They were all flying at the Heaven-Repairing Cauldron.
Even Lin Qingpo and the Peerless Geniuses no longer stood out as before.
BANG BANG BANG!
However, as they approached the Heaven-Repairing Cauldron, a magnificent force immediately spread in the sky.
It did not matter what arts and artifacts they were using, they were unable to pass through the force. They slammed heavily into it.
As for Lin Qingpo and the other Peerless Geniuses, when they encountered the force, the Patriarch Talisman on their chest emitted a faint light, allowing them to pass through the barrier.
"Only those with the Patriarch Talismans can go inside!"
The cultivators quickly collected their thoughts. They floated in the air. They were displeased, but there was nothing they could do about it.
Qin Nan made his move too as he collected his thoughts. He executed the Sky-Stride Blow and went past most cultivators in the air. He caught up to Lin Qingpo and the others as they arrived above the Heaven-Repairing Cauldron.
"Xiu Shenliang, I, Luo Yan have to say that even though I'm not too fond of you, but if we don't team up..."
Luo Yan first transmitted his thought as he prepared to make his move to secure the Beast Immortal Patterns.
Qin Nan, Lin Qingpo, Ding Tianqi, and the other Peerless Geniuses were preparing themselves too.
However, they were all startled as they subconsciously placed their attention on the cauldron.
They could see a terrifying beast lying inside the cauldron.
The beast was covered in scales that were refined by hellish flames. They were emitting a serene light that shook the space nearby vigorously. Its limbs were enormous like godly pillars, as if they contained a terrifying force that could cause the world to crumble.
Its eyes were emitting a strange, purple-golden glow, staring at Qin Nan, Lin Qingpo, Xiu Shenliang, and the others expressionlessly.
The stare alone had made Qin Nan's god force and Dao Glow inside his body vibrate vigorously.
A great chill was running down their spines.
Even their souls had begun to tremble.
Although they had no clue about the background of the huge beast, nor did they know its strength, they strongly believed that they would perish immediately if the beast was to attack them.
It was going to be total destruction.
If they had not seen many Peerless Rulers or even experienced the overwhelming presence of the Nine Heavens Supremes before, they would be traumatized by now.
"What's happening up there?"
The crowd of cultivators was confused as they soon realized that something was not right.
"Cultivators, we can't afford to attack or startle the beast. We have to back away from the Heaven-Repairing Cauldron right now. We'll think of some other way to secure the Beast Immortal Patterns."
A few breaths later, Lin Qingpo was the first to react. He transmitted his voice softly.
"Alright."
Xiu Shenliang and the others immediately agreed. They sternly withdrew their auras and slowly backed away.
Even Qin Nan did the same thing.
The whole place fell deadly silent, even the sound of a pin falling to the ground was audible.
The cultivators were unaware of what was happening, but they too were nervous when they saw the Peerless Geniuses acting as if they had encountered a great foe.
Ten steps!
Hundred steps!
Thousand steps!
When they reached a thousand and five hundred steps, the group was only ten steps away from leaving the vicinity of the Heaven-Repairing Cauldron.
They were utterly relieved.
The beast was absolutely terrifying.
"Humph, what is there to be scared of? The beast is most likely sealed away by the Heaven-Repairing Cauldron. Otherwise, how could we possibly leave so easily?"
Xiu Shenliang believed he was no longer in danger. His bad habit was happening again. He uttered the words in a disdainful voice.
"Xiu Shenliang, are you asking for your death?"
Luo Yan and the others snapped furiously.
"What's the matter? I'm telling you, even if we were to try and secure the Beast Immortal Patterns, that son of a b**ch will just sit there and watch..."
Xiu Shenliang was a little scared as he collected his thoughts, yet he sounded just as stubborn.
However, before he could finish, a terrifying aura rose into the sky.
ROAR!
The terrifying beast inside the cauldron stood up and let out a blasting roar.
The sky within a hundred thousand li was shattered into pieces. Strong gusts of wind swept across the place in an astonishing manner.
The crowd of cultivators was startled too. Some with relatively weaker cultivation were injured immediately.
"Crap!"
The eyes of Lin Qingpo and the others widened. They immediately unleashed their auras and fled into the distance.
"You all...die!"
The huge beast spoke thunderously in human tongue. Its eyes were engulfed in strong flames of fury.
It was merciful as it did not choose to kill the humans, yet to its surprise, they dared to mock it still.
"Crap!"
Xiu Shenliang's face turned extremely pale.
What's going on?
That beast could actually attack them?
"Son of a b**ch! Do you really think you can kill us? How ridiculous! I'm going to show you..."
Despite feeling the overwhelming sense of death, even when his hair was standing on its end and his body was trembling, the man could not help but mock the beast still.
"Is he seriously out of his mind?"
Qin Nan, Lin Qingpo, and the others that were fleeing into the distance were amused by the words.
It was their first time seeing someone that kept courting disasters for himself.
BANG!
The flames in the huge beast's eyes flickered. It reached out its enormous claws that loomed over the sky and slammed it down on Xiu Shenliang.
The rift was suddenly in great chaos.
The huge beast was no longer at its peak, yet its strength was still equivalent to those that had just become Peerless Rulers. Even a peak Heaven Immortal would die instantly to the attack, let alone Xiu Shenliang.
"Damn it, I'm done for..."
Xiu Shenliang felt his whole body turning cold. He simply had the urge to slap himself on the face.
He could have left safely, yet why did he have to utter the disdainful comments?
Buzz!
Meanwhile, the enormous Heaven-Repairing Cauldron started to shake vigorously, as the ancient patterns carved on its surface began to emit brilliant immortal glows as if it had woken up.
