Chapter 1186 Moon Swallowing Pot Core
Amidst the smoke and dust, a giant scorpion with moon-shaped bone plates on its back crawled out. The venom dripping from the scorpion's tail stinger corroded deep grooves on the ground.
"It's the 'Phantom Moon Poison Scorpion', a three-star Saint Lord!" Liuli's voice echoed through the Chaos Jade. "His tail needle can inject a very strong toxin. His poison is difficult to cure. Be careful!"
The poisonous scorpion hissed and its tail sting shot towards Luo Li like lightning.
She dodged to the side, but saw that the air where the poison needle passed by condensed into dark green ice crystals, instantly corroding a large hole in the mountain behind her.
Upon seeing this, the spirit of the Sun-Devouring Cauldron rushed out, and the red-gold flames turned into chains to bind the scorpion's claws, but they were shattered by the moon-wheel bone plates on the scorpion's body.
"This scorpion's defense is quite interesting!" The weapon spirit wiped the sparks from the corner of his mouth, "Luo Li, use the fragments of the Moon Swallowing Pot! The fragments of the Moon Swallowing Pot can kill this guy!"
Luo Li's mind moved, and her fingertips grasped the glass-colored fragment.
The moment the fragment touched her palm, the moon phase rune suddenly lit up, turning into a soft silver light that sprinkled on the scorpion.
Strangely, the violent poisonous scorpion whimpered in the silver light, the venom on its tail stinger dripped, and the runes on the moon bone plate dimmed.
"Opportunity!" Feng Wuhen took advantage of the situation and attacked, and everyone worked together to force it to retreat step by step.
Luo Li seized the opportunity, and the Xuan Yue Sword condensed the power of chaos and slashed out. The sword light cut off the scorpion's tail sting like a silk thread, and at the same time embedded the glass-colored fragment into the crack between his eyebrows.
"Buzz—"
The fragments burst out with thousands of feet of silver light, and the huge body of the poisonous scorpion disintegrated bit by bit in the light, turning into countless moon-white light spots that merged into the fragments.
The bloodstains on the fragments unexpectedly faded away at this moment, revealing half a line of ancient inscriptions engraved on the inside: "The moon soul returns to the abyss, hidden in the pot..."
"The words at the back are corroded." The Sun-Devouring Cauldron's spirit took a closer look. "But this aura is correct. It's a fragment of the Moon-Swallowing Pot."
Luo Li lightly touched the ancient characters on the inside of the fragment with her fingertips, and moon-white light overflowed from the edge of the fragment like fireflies, gathering into a ray of clear light in her palm.
The Sun Devouring Cauldron's spirit circled the fragments twice, and a crimson-gold flame suddenly surged. "'Moon Soul Returns to Ruins'... The Returns to Ruins is at the deepest part of the Netherworld Abyss. It's the spatial rift torn apart when the Demon God was defeated! The core of the Moon Swallowing Pot might be buried there!"
Everyone continued to follow the scent of the fragments deeper, and a faint blue fluorescence began to seep out from the cracks in the rocks at the bottom of the Nether Abyss. It was the spatial turbulence energy dissipated from the Guixu rift.
The colored glass fragments at Luo Li's fingertips suddenly trembled violently, and the moon phase rune projected a light track, pointing directly to an island in front that was floating on a dark green poisonous swamp.
"The core aura is on that island!" the Sun-Devouring Cauldron's spirit spoke anxiously, "But something on the island is devouring the spatial turbulence—it's the 'Void Devouring Demon Spider'! A Five-Star Saint Lord, his silk can shred the soul!"
Before he finished speaking, countless black cracks suddenly appeared above the floating island, and thousands of silver-white spider silks shot out from them.
Ripples of broken space flowed on the surface of the spider silk, weaving a huge web of death covering ten miles on the poisonous swamp.
"Be careful!" Luo Li suddenly raised her hand, shielding everyone within the shield. The moment the spider silk touched the shield of chaos, spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the dark golden light wall.
"Ari, this spider silk can penetrate defense!" Feng Wuhen's brows slightly frowned, and the phoenix shadow around him suddenly expanded. The phoenix feathers turned into layers of light shields, but they were still pierced by the spider silk.
Lan Xiaoxiao mobilized the water element to condense into an ice wall, but the spider silk wrapped around it like a living thing, and the ice crystals were instantly turned into powder.
At this moment, a giant spider covered with a dark black shell slowly crawled up from the pile of bones in the center of the Bone Island.
It has twelve compound eyes that glow faintly, and its eight limbs are covered with black poisonous spines. Its abdomen is swallowing and spitting out a crystal that is flowing with starlight. It is the fragment of the core of the Moon-Swallowing Pot!
"How dare you, human, lay your hands on the treasure of Guixu..." The demon spider's voice was like the friction of thousands of broken ice, and its twelve compound eyes locked onto Luo Li at the same time. "Give me the power of chaos within you, and I will leave you with your whole body."
Luo Li's eyes turned cold, and two fragments of the Moon-Swallowing Pot suddenly appeared in her palm.
When the glazed fragments resonated with the fragments in the blood-colored inner elixir, the shadow of half of the ancient pot suddenly enlarged, and the clear bell sound turned into a tangible sound wave, shaking the spider's silk into pieces.
"Roar!" The demon spider was furious, and its eight limbs suddenly inserted into the ground. The poisonous swamp around the floating island suddenly boiled, and countless black tentacles condensed by the turbulence of space emerged from the bottom of the swamp and grabbed everyone.
"Use the fragments to tame him!" The Sun Devouring Cauldron's spirit transformed into a flaming spear and hurled it. "This demon spider has devoured the core fragments, and it already has a connection with the Moon Devouring Pot!"
Luo Li understood what he meant and put the two fragments together in mid-air.
In an instant, the shadow of the ancient pot burst out with thousands of feet of silver light, and the moon poured down like a galaxy.
The demon spider's movements suddenly froze, and the ferocity in its compound eyes gradually faded, replaced by confusion and awe.
Luo Li took the opportunity to inject a wisp of chaotic power into the fragments, and the silver light wrapped around the core crystal of the magic spider like a chain.
This is a five-star holy king, and it cannot be wasted.
Luo Li pinched her fingers together and silently recited the beast taming techniques in her mind.
Her power carries the power of spiritual oppression, yet also contains the power of soothing.
The demon spider was silent for a moment, its twelve compound eyes flashed one after another, and finally it lowered its head and presented the crystal to Luo Li.
Luo Li lightly tapped the Demon Spider's forehead with her fingertips, and a contract rune merged into the Demon Spider's brow. At the same time, she looked at Qian Ren and said, "This Demon Spider's spatial ability is compatible with yours. From now on, you will be able to control it."
"This..." The moment Qian Ren looked at Luo Li, the huge body of the demon spider turned into a stream of light and merged into his body. A dark spider pattern appeared between his eyebrows and disappeared after a moment.
Qian Ren was speechless and said, "Luo Li, this is a Five-Star Saint Sovereign..."
Luo Li looked at him doubtfully, "I know."
Qianren was a little confused and asked, "You're just going to give it to me like that?"
Luo Li raised an eyebrow, "Do you have any objections?"
Qian Ren's lips twitched. What objection could he have to being given a Saint King-level contracted beast?
"Well," Mu Ze put his arm around his shoulders, "If A Li said it's for you, then it's naturally for you. Just keep it."
Luo Li nodded, "He's right. Since I'm giving it to you, you just need to keep it."
Qianren moved his shoulders uncomfortably, "I understand, but can you please let go first?"
"Ah?" Mu Ze was a little puzzled, then he immediately let go and smiled awkwardly, "Sorry, I'm used to it."
The Sun Devouring Cauldron's spirit spoke out, "We only need one more fragment to restore the Moon Swallowing Pot. But it seems the Moon Swallowing Pot's spirit is seriously injured. Even after finding the core, I still can't sense its presence."
Luo Li looked at him, "Can you sense where it is?"
The Sun Devouring Cauldron's spirit shook its head: "I'm not sure, but it's definitely not in here. We need to go out and look for it."
Luo Li nodded after hearing this: "Okay, let's go out."
After leaving Guixu and stepping onto the ground again, everyone found that the miasma in the abyss had dissipated a lot, almost to the point of disappearing.
Lan Xiaoxiao blinked, "Could this miasma be caused by the Moon Swallowing Pot?"
Mu Ze curled his lips and said, "Who knows? But it's really strange that the miasma has suddenly dissipated so much. After the miasma of the Nether Abyss dissipated, it wasn't so scary anymore. Look at the green mountains and clear waters."
Before the spirit of the Sun-Devouring Cauldron could speak, the core of the Moon-Swallowing Pot in Luo Li's hand suddenly burst into light.
The light turned into a light band and slowly drifted towards the east.
Luo Li narrowed her eyes and looked at the Sun Devouring Cauldron spirit, "Did it sense the aura of the fragments?"
The Sun Devouring Cauldron spirit nodded, "That's right, follow them!"
Everyone followed the light belt and rushed eastward. The deeper they went, the more bizarre the scenery became.
The mountain stream, which had sparse vegetation just now, had now turned into a wetland with strange black plants growing on it.
The edges of the leaves of those plants glowed with a cold metallic light, and a faint blue fluorescence flowed between the veins. Every time they swayed, tiny spots of light splashed out, which condensed into sharp ice crystals when they fell to the ground.
The light band also floated to the center area not far away and stopped moving.
Luo Li took a step forward, and the next second, a huge dragon-like monster fell from the sky.
She curled her lips slightly, "Six-star Saint Lord, Void Dragon."
Lan Xiaoxiao and the others immediately felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and they all summoned their contracted beasts and spiritual weapons.
Luo Li's eyes narrowed slightly, and the core fragment of the Moon-Swallowing Pot at her fingertips suddenly became hot. The silver light collided with the turbulent space around the Void Dragon, and a moon-shaped light mark condensed in the air.
“Roar!” The Void Dragon let out a deafening roar, and star-like light surged in its dragon pupils.
She flapped her wings, and the space around her cracked like glass. From countless dark cracks, a spatial storm powerful enough to crush the soul erupted, sweeping towards Luo Li and the others.
"Be careful! It's 'Void Splitting Slash'!" Liuli's voice rang out rapidly within the Chaos Jade. "This dragon is too powerful. It can tear through space and use it as a weapon. The shield won't hold out for long!"
Lan Xiaoxiao immediately activated her water-based soul skills, and thousands of water blades condensed into an ice wall in front of her, but they exploded into powder the moment the space storm touched them.
The red-gold phoenix true fire rose from Feng Wuhen's body, turning into a light shield to protect everyone in front, but the fire feathers were cut by the turbulent flow and made crackling sounds.
Luo Li pointed her toes, and her figure moved horizontally for thousands of feet like a ghost, and the Xuan Yue Sword in her palm burst out with billions of dark golden divine rays.
She did not resist the space storm head-on, but injected the power of chaos into the sword, and a rotating dark golden light ball suddenly condensed at the tip of the sword.
"cut!"
The ball of light flew out of his hand, and a silent explosion tore through the void, creating a gap in the violent space turbulence.
Luo Li took the opportunity to fly to the side of the Void Dragon, and the Xuan Yue Sword slashed towards her dragon claws covered with dark purple scales with the power of annihilation.
“Clang!”
The sound of metal clashing made the heaven and earth buzz, and the Xuan Yue Sword actually produced a string of sparks on the dragon's claws.
The scales of the Void Dragon are so hard that they can even withstand the blows of the power of chaos.
She swung her dragon tail violently, and the space vortex condensed at the tip of the tail swallowed everything around it like a black hole, even the chaotic air shield around Luo Li began to ripple.
"This dragon's defense and spatial abilities have reached the peak of the Saint King! It appears to be a mutant monster!"
The spirit of the Sun-Devouring Cauldron transformed into a human form and rushed out, while the red-gold flames condensed into chains that bound the dragon's feet.
