Inside the palace, Ling Xian held his breath and attacked with all his might.
The elder did the same.
He held up his body and teamed up with Ling Xian to attack the spear.
Compared to the sword, the spear was stronger. Therefore, it took the two of them three hours to break the spear.
Immediately, many heavenly materials appeared. Three of them clashed with the materials of the sword, making the elder puke out blood and his entire body tremble.
What could they do? The clash was far too terrifying. Even though the elder was of the ninth level, he couldn't handle it.
Luckily, Ling Xian was prepared.
The moment the three heavenly materials clashed, he slammed two heavenly stones into the elder's body to calm them down.
"Ehem, ehem, thank you." The elder puked out blood and sighed in relief.
Though he was impacted, Ling Xian's timing was perfect. If he was one second slower, he would've been hit a second time.
Then, his injuries would've been even worse.
"I haven't succeeded yet. It's a little early to thank me."
Ling Xian softly sighed. The elder was extremely weak. No matter how good his timing was, he may not be able to last until the end.
"It's not early. I believe in you and I believe in myself." The elder was decisive.
"Then continue. Last until the end and you will be able to defeat everyone of the same level."
Ling Xian softly smiled. He wasn't exaggerating.
The elder who had merged with four treasures definitely had the ability to defeat everyone of the same level. Even the nine sage bodies and the seven royal kinds may not be his opponent.
At this moment, Ling Xian calmed himself down and used the Treasure Breaking Technique to attack the shield.
HOMM, HOMM, HOMM!
Like thousands of horses galloping, like the angry ocean, the elder's body was shaking nonstop. Every time it shook, it made him weaker.
This time, it lasted for a full eight hours.
This shield was stronger than the spear and it was known for its defense. Therefore, it took eight hours to break.
Then, the seven heavenly materials clashed. Like two immortal kings clashing, the elder puked out blood and his bones cracked.
Ling Xian was a little shocked as well.
It was far too powerful. It was clearly exploding inside the elder's body, but some of its energy still seeped out and hurt him.
Luckily, it was only a little. Or else with Ling Xian's current cultivation level, even if he didn't die, he would be crippled.
Immediately, he inserted two pieces of Divine Gold and three pieces of Divine Stone into the old man's body, preventing the conflicting materials from continuing to wreak havoc.
"I escaped another calamity …" The old man forced a smile. He was extremely weak.
It was already extremely difficult for him to persist until now. If it was anyone else, they would have given up long ago.
"All that's left is the cauldron. If you succeed, you'll shine with boundless radiance, and you'll be able to dominate those of the same level."
"If you fail, you'll be reduced to ashes, and not even your bones will remain."
Ling Xian spoke in a low voice. He was warning the elder and reminding himself.
Even though it was only his first meeting, he did not want to lose the old man's life because of his own mistakes.
"I understand."
The old man forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, I will hold on. The cenotaph is too desolate."
"That's true. If a dignified Tools Method Grandmaster were to only leave behind a cenotaph, it would indeed be too miserable."
Ling Xian softly grinned and erased his smile, "Focus and begin to attack the Cauldron."
As his voice trailed off, he raised his hand and formed a seal. Divine light bloomed and a mighty force descended.
It was the same for the old man.
Boom!
The heavenly force entered his body and landed on top of the Cauldron with the force of a thunderbolt.
Instantly, the old man's body began to shake uncontrollably. Like an angry ocean, waves of energy rolled up into the sky.
Fresh blood dripped down, shocking to the eye. His meridians were broken and the pain was unbearable.
The elder's face was pale white and his consciousness was hazy. Ling Xian was also heavily injured.
The shockwave from the collision was far too powerful. Though it exploded inside the elder's body, it still made Ling Xian puke out blood.
"What a powerful Cauldron. I don't know what you were thinking. How dare you absorb such a powerful treasure into your body."
Ling Xian shook his head and bitterly smiled. As he called out to the Treasure of Destruction, he also manipulated his majestic ancient blood to heal his wounds.
"I was blinded by greed. All I thought about was how powerful the fusion would be and how difficult the process was."
The elder bitterly smiled, "Luckily I met you. Or else I would have to leave behind a cenotaph."
"Hold on. As long as we break the Cauldron, we will see the light."
Ling Xian mumbled. He formed a hand seal and attacked the Cauldron.
Every time they collided, the elder would weaken a little and his injuries would worsen.
However, the two of them were riding a tiger and could not stop. They had to either succeed or die!
Therefore, Ling Xian and the elder went insane. Finally, after 18 hours, they broke the Cauldron.
Immediately, the heavenly materials from the Cauldron appeared and clashed with the sword, spear, and shield. In an instant, all the elder's bones were broken!
Ling Xian, like a kite with a broken string, was slammed into the mountain behind him.
It was far too powerful. If it didn't explode inside the elder's body, he would be a dead man by now.
"The biggest danger …"
Ling Xian's expression turned serious. He held up his body and sent two pieces of heavenly wood, three heavenly gold, and five heavenly stones into the elder's body.
However, it didn't calm down the materials.
That world-shaking might was still battering at the old man, breaking his meridians and making him feel like he was about to be torn apart.
Ling Xian wasn't feeling good either.
Though the elder blocked 90% of the energy, the clash of the materials was far too powerful. Even if it was only 10%, it wasn't something he could defend against.
"Am I going to fail …"
Ling Xian bitterly smiled. He knew that the biggest danger would come after the Cauldron breaks. But not even in his dreams did he think he would fail to calm down the materials.
The elder didn't think this would happen either.
He was the one who prepared the materials and he had calculated hundreds of times in his head. Only after he was certain did he dare to start.
However, the reality was that he could not calm down. Why wouldn't he be shocked? Why wouldn't he be bitter?
"After all my calculations, I still made a mistake …"
Feeling his life slipping away, the elder's eyes dimmed. He no longer wanted to know what went wrong.
Because it was pointless. He was close to death and at most, he could last 10 breaths of time.
In such a short amount of time, there was no way he could find the problem and calm down the materials.
"It looks like I will have to leave behind a cenotaph."
The elder softly sighed and shifted his gaze towards the frowning Ling Xian, "Don't think about it. It's hopeless."
"You gave up. But I didn't."
Ling Xian's gaze was determined and calm like never before.
Ignoring the pitiful amount of time he had, he thought back to the many materials he injected into the elder's body. After three seconds, he found the problem.
There was a piece of heavenly wood that was very strange. It had to be manipulated with a special technique in order to unleash 100% of its power.
This technique had been lost for a long time and most people didn't know about it. Therefore, it could only unleash 40% of its power and could not calm down the conflicting materials.
"Finally found it."
Ling Xian revealed a smile. The Immortal of Crafts' inheritance recorded this technique. Therefore, he knew it very well.
However, because the heavenly materials were prepared by the elder, he forgot about it.
Ling Xian shifted his gaze towards the elder and smiled, "You are right. Luckily you met me."
Hearing this, the elder was a little startled and didn't understand.
But in the next second, he understood.
Because the moment Ling Xian took out a drop of Water of the Resting Soul and injected it into the elder's body, the violent materials calmed down.
