Chapter 1855 — That Dao Ancestor Breaks the Heaven-Piercing Well
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 5
Lan Yutian examined the lamp oil closely, and saw that with the four Hall Masters slain by the evil eye, the oil had been consumed in small part as well; his heart went cold. "When the Master of Miluo Palace preaches, be it an accomplished Daoist of Miluo Palace, a Hall Master, or a Young Master, their divine powers and their Dao arts cannot surpass those of the Master of Miluo Palace; therefore once the lamplight falls upon them, they have no secret left to keep. But the oil is limited, and this lamp cannot burn for long. I must deal with the other six exotic treasures before the oil is spent! Only..."
He flew from the hall and made straight for the Ancestral Court's Primordial Cauldron.
"Only — can this lamp stand against those six exotic treasures?"
The oil lamp was an exotic treasure, but the Heaven-Piercing Well, the Drifting Smoke Purple Mists, the Great Prison, the Mirror of Returning Light, and the rest were likewise exotic treasures refined by the Young Masters of Miluo Palace. Whether the oil lamp could deal with these six exotic treasures, Lan Yutian had not the confidence to say.
By the time Lan Yutian entered the Ancestral Court's Primordial Cauldron, he saw Xu Shenghua leading the accomplished Daoists of Jingping to hold off the great army of Miluo Palace's accomplished Daoists; and around those six exotic treasures, slaughter likewise raged on every side.
The might of those six exotic treasures had already wholly suppressed the power of the Ancestral Court's Primordial Cauldron, so that it could bring forth not a shred of its might. Nor was that all: the Hall Masters and accomplished Daoists of Miluo Palace had gathered about the six treasures, and their power spread out in every direction, hacking Kaihuang, Shen Fengqing, and the others until they were gashed and battered.
The eldest Young Master Taishang's Heaven-Piercing Well was the most formidable of all: it not only pierced the Primordial Cauldron through and punched a great hole in the whole Ancestral Court, but hung high at the center, straight above and straight below, like an enormous tornado churning wind and cloud, making the breach in the Ancestral Court ever wider!
The whole might of the Ancestral Court's Primordial Cauldron, spanning ten million li, was absorbed entire by that well!
This well was a treasure that ran through the Kalpa of Destruction; seen from without it seemed to have no substance at all, and one could not tell of what it was made, yet its power was truly too strong.
Kaihuang and the others fought their way to the well's edge, battling and weaving back and forth there, meeting the accomplished Daoists and Hall Masters of Miluo Palace.
Among the Jingping accomplished Daoists at his side, one now and again was struck into the well, giving out earth-shaking screams as they fell into it, plunging down into the Kalpa of Destruction of past universes!
Kaihuang too was in dire peril, liable at any moment to be struck into the well.
On the other side, the second Young Master's Drifting Smoke Purple Mists ran rampant through the sky; several Hall Masters of Miluo Palace stood upon the Drifting Smoke Purple Mists, coming and going like the wind. Those Drifting Smoke Purple Mists were a treasure formed from the second Young Master Wuji's thirty-sixth level of the Heavenly Dao realm, and now and again they burst forth the wind of heat-death of Guixu; gust after gust of that wind blew past, eroding the sky and earth of the Ancestral Court and ruining the might of the Ancestral Court's Primordial Cauldron. Xing'an led the Jingping accomplished Daoists in charging into the drifting smoke, and nearly all those at his side died within it; Xing'an himself had his flesh body destroyed again and again.
