Yu Yuan examined the cauldron carefully.
The rows of grooves on the walls of the cauldron seemed to represent the different ranks of the Godfiends.
After devouring Liu Linzhi's soul, the second fiend demon had climbed two steps and was now the highest ranked fiend demon in the Fiendish Demon Cauldron.
However, there were still three more steps above it.
In terms of combat strength, the second fiend demon had reached its peak and entered the tenth step. There was still a lot of room for improvement.
"From the moment this cauldron was created, it divided the fiend demons into ten steps. The Blood God is currently on the seventh step. Consort Han is on the sixth step. " The cauldron soul explained in detail. "The weakest fiend spirits are refined at the bottom before they become fiends. Once they become fiend demons, they are ranked according to their strength.
"For example, Liu Linzhi's powerful soul is at least on the fifth step after becoming a fiend demon in the cauldron.
"According to my recovered memories, when this cauldron was at its strongest, there were twelve fiend demons on the tenth step. There were nearly sixty fiend demons on the ninth step. There were nearly two hundred on the eighth step. There were nearly a thousand on the seventh step. The sixth step … "
The cauldron soul spoke tirelessly.
Yu Yuan noticed that there were nearly six hundred fiend spirits in the bottommost grooves of the Fiendish Demon Cauldron's walls that were still being refined.
That wasn't all. There were seven hundred fiend spirits that had left the cauldron to "split souls".
On the second floor, there were more than three hundred tormented spirits that had transformed into Fiendish Devils after the successful refinement.
Further up, there were only a few dozen "Fiendish Demons" on the third floor.
There were only six fiend demons in the grooves of the fourth step.
The fifth step was empty at a glance. There wasn't a single fiend demon.
There was a blurry figure of Consort Han in one of the grooves on the sixth step.
Consort Han hadn't returned, but her figure was still there. This meant that this was her seat.
Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!
Consort Han, in her icy blue form, suddenly floated down from the mouth of the cauldron and headed straight for her seat on the sixth step.
The moment she landed, Yu Yuan observed carefully. To his surprise, he discovered that the fiend demons on the fourth, third, and second steps were scattered. There were soul threads in the grooves where Consort Han was located. They followed the hidden patterns on the walls of the cauldron and went up layer by layer to the groove where Consort Han was.
She was absorbing the soul threads and refining them into her body.
"This …"
His mind moved slightly as he was secretly surprised.
"The Second Fiend has consumed Liu Linzhi's soul, so it doesn't need to replenish its power. The cauldron's soul was connected to his mind. It sensed his confusion and immediately gave him an answer. "Concubine Han only managed to scare away the souls and ghosts that were loyal to Liu Linzhi."
"She hasn't been able to devour and refine some of the powerful evil spirits into herself."
"Therefore, her's's's's's's. She can only regain the power she lost from the weaker fiend demons on the lower level.
"The higher level fiend demons steal power from the lower level fiend demons and refine it into themselves. This is the unbreakable rule of this cauldron since the day it was created.
"If the lower level fiend demons want to avoid having their power stolen, they have to do their best to climb up and fight their way up. Once they reach the top of the tenth step, they will be able to obtain power from all the fiend demons on the lower level. "
The cauldron's soul explained.
Yu Yuan felt very surprised after hearing its words. He felt that the inside of the Fiend Demon Cauldron was a miniature world!
All the fiend spirits that were absorbed into the cauldron would first transform into fiend demons, and then they would become stronger and climb up step by step.
Wasn't this similar to how human cultivators stepped on the path of cultivation and constantly improved their cultivation?
Wasn't it the same as how ordinary people hoped to be promoted?
Didn't the fiends in the Land of Terror use slaughter, war, and plunder the resources of their enemies to become Heavenly Ghosts, Nether Ghosts, and even Ghoul Kings?
According to Liu Linzhi, only those who had reached the level of Ghoul Kings could reincarnate with their memories.
"So all life is the same. Humans, cultivators, fiends, fiends, fiends, fiends, and even fiend demons! "
Taking a deep breath, Yu Yuan suddenly felt that cruel competition was everywhere. In places that could be seen and places that could not be seen, there would always be fighting.
The weak were prey to the strong, and the weak were eliminated. This was a principle that had never changed.
Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!
The seven hundred fiend spirits that had formed the Soul Splitter Array earlier rushed into the small world inside the cauldron and obediently fell into the lowest level of the cauldron walls to receive a new round of fiend conversion.
"The many wondrous soul formations in the cauldron require a sufficient number of fiend demons to activate. However, there are too few fiend demons right now, so we can only use fiend spirits to replace them. The Soul Splitter Array earlier did not display enough power because the Second Fiend Demon was also formed by an expert of the Blood God. He was well-versed in the secret soul arts of the Blood God.
"When he entered the array, he suppressed Liu Linzhi at the root. He did not give Liu Linzhi a chance to struggle before devouring him.
"In order to fully activate the power of the Soul Splitter Array, these seven hundred fiend spirits need to transform into fiend demons one by one."
The cauldron soul told him that the reason Liu Linzhi was so easily suppressed was only partly due to the Soul Splitter Array. It only pulled Liu Linzhi's soul into the array and trapped him temporarily.
Relying on the "Soul-splitting" formation formed by seven hundred "tormented spirits", it was very difficult and unrealistic to split the soul of Liu Linzhi, the heavenly ghost.
This was because the soul fragments that Liu Linzhi had split out could actually be gathered together again in the array.
If the Second Fiend Demon had not entered, Liu Linzhi's fragmented soul could have turned into another Liu Linzhi and escaped or reformed. He would not have truly died.
When the Second Fiend Demon arrived and devoured Liu Linzhi's fragmented soul, Liu Linzhi finally felt fear and knew that it was over.
This was because Liu Linzhi knew very well that he would never be able to recover the parts that had been devoured by the Second Fiend Demon.
"Give me another half a month, and I will be able to refine all the fiend spirits that had gathered outside Azure Phoenix City into fiends. At that time, the Soul Splitter Array will be activated again and display its true power! "
The cauldron soul said confidently.
"There are rows of fiend positions inside the cauldron walls. The fiend demons at the top can steal the power of the fiend demons at the bottom. In that case, you should …? "Yu Yuan asked.
"Master, as the cauldron soul of this cauldron, I can increase my own power by absorbing all the fiend demons inside the cauldron walls." The cauldron soul did not hide anything and said honestly, "Therefore, the more fiend demons there are in the cauldron, the stronger I will be. One day, I will be able to remember everything and retrieve all the memories that have disappeared. "
"Perhaps, at that time, this cauldron will be able to return to the level of a Divine Artifact!
"Master, you may also possess the cultivation and power of the Freedom Realm at that time!"
The cauldron soul said longingly.
Yu Yuan nodded heavily. "Such a day will come."
With a thought, he instantly returned from the small world inside the cauldron to the outside world and reappeared in the palace inside Liu Linzhi's cave.
He was still standing inside the cauldron, still enveloped by the dark fiend light. He looked around and discovered that none of Liu Linzhi's loyal subordinates were left.
There were no longer any "water shadows" flashing and cruising inside the domed walls of the palace.
This meant that the fiends and ghosts that had been cultivating with the pure Yin Qi in this place all knew that something had happened to Liu Linzhi. They were afraid that Yu Yuan would come looking for trouble, so they simply fled.
In the underground palace, a cold wind howled. The cold wind was still pouring into the cave that Liu Linzhi had opened with a secret technique.
Not far away, the armor that had the blood-colored pattern of roses on it had fallen to the ground.
There was also the ancient bronze box.
"The bronze box!"
With a thought, Yu Yuan controlled the Fiend Demon Cauldron and floated to where the bronze box was. He summoned the scabbard from his mustard seed bracelet, extended it out of the light screen, and gently adjusted it.
Whoosh!
The bronze box flew accurately toward the black cauldron and was caught in his hand. After he opened the lid, he saw a mechanical handle. He gripped it with both hands and forcefully moved it.
"Crack!"
The hundreds of finger-sized holes in the underground cave of Yin Mountain were gradually compacted by rocks and became airtight.
The cold wind blew for a while longer, as if it had melted into the stone walls of Yin Mountain and the icy ground beneath his feet.
Yu Yuan waited for a while longer. After confirming that nothing would go wrong this time and that there would be no more cold wind blowing in, he jumped out of the Fiend Demon Cauldron and suddenly appeared in front of the dagger.
"It's a sharp weapon that's suitable for those who practice flame incantations!"
He reached out and held it. With a thought, he secretly circulated the Nine Lights Heavenly Wheel. The dagger in his hand suddenly blossomed with dazzling crimson light.
The dagger became scalding hot like a red-hot iron.
"Good stuff!"
