Chapter 504 - 489: The Vessel
The sky suddenly tore open, a massive crack appearing, as a meteor dragged its burning tail through the illusory Blood Moon, slicing through the clouds.
The meteor’s might was overwhelming, so much so that it threatened the lives of everyone within the Blood Moon Space.
"Damn, damn, how are we supposed to fight like this? I’m still inside the Blood Moon Space, man!"
Mei King Ji Tiansao, having adapted to the dragon’s might, hopped on the ground and shouted.
Li Cunxu paid him no mind; he was certain Ji Tiansao had a trump card and could withstand it, ensuring he wouldn’t die.
Ji Tiansao hailed from Emperor Huang’s Family, the oldest family, existing since the early Dragon Race era, an influence unmatched by any other force.
In the game, Li Cunxu recalled that this guy had repeatedly used his trump cards to escape from the hands of the Evil Divine Son.
The Evil Divine Son, child of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Evil God, was the most powerful of the numerous Divine Sons.
The three Bloodsucking Great Demons fled in different directions the second they saw the meteor.
The meteor’s power was such that even if it didn’t kill them, they’d be gravely injured.
The next moment.
Seeing the new changes in the sky, the three Bloodsucking Great Demons were initially stunned, then they used their last-ditch escape ability, "Blood Burning Celestial Escape."
The three Bloodsucking Great Demons burned the blood in their blood sea, launching their escape technique, their membrane wings creating afterimages as they frantically fled.
The reason was simple: behind the initial meteor were two more with equal power.
One meteor striking might not kill them, but three would undoubtedly be their end.
"Come here."
Li Cunxu seized the Star Lock Chain with both dragon hands, his tail coiling around the remaining Star Lock Chain, forcefully pulling the three Bloodsucking Great Demons to his side.
Then, he awaited the meteors’ impact.
The Bloodsucking Great Demons, unwilling to return to the Divine Kingdom so soon, struggled against the chains, shouting at Li Cunxu, "If you hold us, you’ll die too, let go now."
Li Cunxu didn’t let go. Could the defensive field plus his Immortal Dragon Scale withstand attacks exceeding Monarch Level 1? He didn’t know.
No matter how strong the defensive field, it had its limits.
Fortunately, Li Cunxu hadn’t planned on resisting them head-on from the start.
"Do you think I’d summon a meteor to kill myself? My dragon scales are indestructible; I won’t die."
When Li Cunxu said this, he seemed indifferent, convincing the three Bloodsucking Great Demons that he could indeed withstand it.
They believed so easily because they had just attacked Li Cunxu’s dragon scales and experienced just how insanely durable they were.
The meteor arrived in the blink of an eye; on the verge of collision with Li Cunxu, he released the Star Lock Chain and used an emergency escape device to flash into the Beast Taming Space, evading the beasts.
The three Bloodsucking Great Demons suddenly felt the chain loosen, looked up, and saw that Li Cunxu had vanished without a trace sometime earlier.
But it was too late to escape.
The meteor came.
In an instant, the three Bloodsucking Great Demons saw the rapidly enlarging meteor, with the increasingly clear indentations on its surface.
Three meteors landed one after another, and the terrifying shockwave rippled outwards. In an instant, the triple Blood Moon Space shattered, the coast in reality lost a corner of land, crashing into a massive round pit.
Seawater flooded into the pit that was very close.
Soon, a crescent-shaped bay appeared along the coast.
After a moment, Li Cunxu emerged from the Beast Taming Space.
As soon as he emerged, Li Cunxu saw six mid-level laws floating beneath his feet.
The three Bloodsucking Great Demons had all comprehended a second law, leaving behind two each, so their deaths left six.
Among the six, three were Vampire Law, and the other three were spiritual Blood Moon Laws.
"Cough, cough, cough."
Floating on the azure sea surface was a silvery white bronze pot; suddenly, a plume of black smoke spurted from its slender mouth.
A person, coughing fitfully, staggered out of the black smoke.
Li Cunxu looked over and initially didn’t recognize who it was; he was too black, as if he’d rolled in a coal mine, entirely black except for those pearly white teeth.
Upon closer inspection, it was Ji Tiansao.
"Man, you almost got me killed; I’m not giving you any reward," Ji Tiansao said.
Li Cunxu thought it over and realized it didn’t matter if he got paid or not. After all, the meteor mishap happened to Ji Tiansao, so the bad luck wouldn’t attach to him.
"Alright."
Li Cunxu wasn’t too fussed about the reward; it didn’t matter if he got something or not, as he didn’t really care about Ji Tiansao’s belongings, and he didn’t have anything good anyway.
A person plagued by bad luck, what good could he have?
That said, he might not be entirely without good things; he had trump cards, which were indeed valuable, but those were given by Emperor Huang’s Family for life-saving purposes and wouldn’t be handed to Li Cunxu.
Li Cunxu was curious about Ji Tiansao’s silver copper pot, feeling he had seen it somewhere before.
Ji Tiansao bent down to pick up the Black Smoke Pot. He also noticed Li Cunxu looking at it and shook the Black Smoke Pot, introducing it.
"This is the Black Smoke Pot; it contains a Black Smoke World. By hiding inside, you can block any danger. The drawback is creatures entering the Black Smoke World will choke on the black smoke. Man, I relied on it to survive your three meteors."
Li Cunxu praised, "What a fine treasure. This is likely a ninth-level treasure."
"Yeah."
Ji Tiansao kept a wary eye on Li Cunxu, fearing he might forcibly seize the Black Smoke Pot. A ninth-level treasure could tempt and drive people crazy; he’d had a few life-saving benefactors who developed a wild desire to steal this treasure upon seeing it.
However, none succeeded.
The Black Smoke Pot was not only for evading disasters but also for confronting enemies.
In reality, Ji Tiansao didn’t tell the whole truth; this pot wasn’t just called the Black Smoke Pot. That name was too ordinary for such a pot.
The pot’s real name was the Ten Thousand Crows Pot, one of the forty-nine Empire Artifacts.
Inside the Ten Thousand Crows Pot were ten thousand very mystical fire crows, bearing the bloodline of the Golden Crow. Once fully unleashed, even a slightly weaker emperor might fall.
Li Cunxu noticed the silver copper pot, finding it familiar, somewhat resembling the Ten Thousand Crows Pot, but misled by Ji Tiansao’s words, he truly believed it was the Black Smoke Pot.
It’s understandable why Li Cunxu believed it, not recognizing it as the Ten Thousand Crows Pot.
The forty-nine Empire Artifacts have always been something many Treasure Masters love to mimic, so many treasures shared similarities with them, or even identical looks, but different functions.
In fact, even if he recognized it was the Ten Thousand Crows Pot, Li Cunxu wouldn’t intend to seize it.
No matter how strong the Ten Thousand Crows Pot was, it was still an external object.
Moreover, even if he snatched the Ten Thousand Crows Pot from Ji Tiansao, it wouldn’t belong to him.
Emperor Huang’s Family certainly wouldn’t stand by; they’d send an emperor at any moment to reclaim the Ten Thousand Crows Pot.
Ji Tiansao saw Li Cunxu standing there without making a move and gradually put his mind at ease.
"By the way, I haven’t asked for your name, sir."
Li Cunxu said, "..." The identity of Dragon-man Beastmaster required a fake name.
"My name is Long Xing."
Li Cunxu seemed to be pondering something as the atmosphere grew silent.
"Brother Long Xing, you haven’t asked for my name yet."
