Time passed slowly.
Qin Chuan's Heavenly Dao Divine Sense and Golden Divine Eyes had already seen that the opponents had all entered the formation. At this moment, he spoke again: "I'll give you one last chance. Leave, and I'll spare your lives."
This time, the old man didn't even smile and spat out a mouthful of phlegm: "You're really pushing your luck! Come on, I want to see how you're going to kill me. If you could kill me, would you be here babbling on and on?"
Qin Chuan smiled, waved his hand, and various vines shot into the sky.
This was Qin Chuan's Five Elements Wood Formation, and it was also related to the Golden Divine Eyes. This formation was simple, quick to activate, had strong binding power, and was extremely flexible. Even against a powerful opponent, it could hinder them for a while.
Just then, Qin Chuan unleashed the Qiankun Cauldron in his hand, directly enveloping the entire area, including his Five Elements Wood Formation, within it.
Whoosh!
A dazzling halo appeared,
its power far surpassing that of when the Hou family head used it; it was on a completely different level.
When the Qiankun Cauldron appeared, the old man opposite them finally changed his expression. They were all powerful figures, and naturally knew the power of this thing. Even if they didn't know what it was, they could sense its terrifying nature.
However, they were currently entangled by the vines. Although they weren't unable to break free, they couldn't do so in a short time. These vines were exceptionally tough and seemed to be poisonous, numbing their bodies.
The more they struggled, the tighter they became. Their hearts trembled, and their bodies were soaked in cold sweat.
The headless demon god's avatar was powerful; it easily broke free from the vines. One of the old men asked the headless demon god's avatar to help him clear the vines, and the other two did the same. Now, the headless demon god's avatar, summoned by all three, didn't know which to obey.
They hesitated, and sometimes, when facing the threat of death, no one was willing to give way. Sometimes, mutual concession might save everyone, but whoever refused allowed time to slip away.
Then the Qiankun Cauldron descended, directly enveloping everyone, including the headless demon god's avatar.
Qin Chuan breathed a sigh of relief. It was a success. Inside the Qiankun Cauldron, he had enough confidence. Having recognized the cauldron as his master, he naturally knew some of its wondrous uses, something the Hou family head had been completely unaware of before.
Moreover, the cauldron's basic power had increased significantly.
Furthermore, Qin Chuan's physique also greatly amplified the cauldron's power, increasing it by dozens of times. Compared to the previous cauldron, this was a complete transformation.
Besides, Qin Chuan had also gained control over some miraculous abilities.
For example, he could activate a one-hour period, making the cauldron absolutely binding anyone trapped within it. In principle, those bound, or any other being, could not escape.
Of course, this was the principle, but even if someone could break free, the binding power would likely be at least ten, dozens, or even hundreds of times stronger than normal.
However, if the opponent possessed absolute power, they could naturally break free.
Qin Chuan now focused on the people enveloped by the Qiankun Cauldron. He had retreated to the guardian spirit, the cactus. After so many days, the cactus had grown to a person's height, fresh and verdant.
It exudes powerful spiritual energy. Although it doesn't seem capable of acting as a guardian deity yet, it already possesses some wondrous uses. For example, this aura is a protective energy,
purifying the spiritual energy of this small world.
It also provides temporary assistance to the nearby formations.
Qin Chuan and this cactus have a mysterious connection; after all, it was Qin Chuan who nurtured it. So even if this guardian cactus becomes stronger in the future, Qin Chuan has a way to destroy it—that's the rule.
The previous Five Elements Wood Formation received assistance from the guardian deity.
Now, the Qiankun Cauldron will also receive assistance from the guardian deity to a certain extent. This is the power of the guardian deity; previously, it mainly focused on protection and assistance, but in the future, it will also possess its own terrifying offensive methods.
Only offense is the best defense.
The three old men and the headless demon god's avatar struggled inside, struggling frantically, but to no avail. Humans are insignificant within the Qiankun Cauldron; even the demon god's avatar appears so small.
The demon god's avatar can break formations, even this powerful one, but within the Qiankun Cauldron, it has no power to resist; it can't even make a ripple.
At least after the Qiankun Cauldron came into Qin Chuan's hands, this demonic avatar was completely helpless against it, unable even to make the cauldron tremble.
Back then, his Chaos Furnace had managed to break open the Qiankun Cauldron from within. Although the Qiankun Cauldron's power back then couldn't compare to its current strength, a treasure is a treasure, and even a little bit of its power is formidable.
After observing for a while, Qin Chuan was completely reassured. The Qiankun Cauldron could obliterate its opponent, making it even more useful than the Chaos Furnace in this respect.
The Chaos Furnace was powerful, but its limitations were also significant, or rather, its potential for development wasn't as great as the current Qiankun Cauldron. However, Qin Chuan knew that the truly powerful treasure was probably this Chaos Furnace.
An hour later, the demonic avatar disappeared. Qin Chuan estimated that this summoning of the demonic avatar could only last for an hour, which was actually quite a long time.
An hour had passed. The three old men inside the Qiankun Cauldron were now suffering terribly, as if in a furnace. They struggled, but their bodies were gradually disappearing, destined to be refined. Finally,
the three vanished, ending the contest. Qin Chuan had won, but the formation was gone—the imperial city's protective array, its defenses shattered beyond repair. However
, upon putting away the Qiankun Cauldron, Qin Chuan discovered three mysterious beads. "
Hmm?
What are these? Refining three people left behind these things. I know they belonged to the three of them."
But Qin Chuan quickly realized what they were.
"Thought Beads! " This
was what summoned the Demon God's avatar. It could not only summon avatars but also create a space of longing, allowing one to transfer the person they longed for into it.
However, both parties needed to long for each other to a certain degree.
Qin Chuan was overjoyed. His eyes lit up. He didn't yet know how powerful this thing was, since he didn't know if he could summon a Demon God's avatar.
And could he teleport to the Space of Longing with the person he missed?
Previously, it was a group of three; he wondered if he could use it
alone. If it was a group of three, then it wouldn't be suitable for him. For a moment, Qin Chuan had many thoughts, unsure if they would all work.
