Chapter 1613

The Everlasting Pill Cauldron was still absorbing energy. Space twisted crazily, and the entire world changed color. The Pill Cauldron that came to this world was no longer simple and unadorned. It was no longer as low-key as before. Instead, it was extremely ostentatious, overbearing, and surging with boundless power.

The Pill Cauldron trembled, causing the entire space to tremble as well. Boundless power spread out in all directions.

The strange beasts that were attracted by the alien's heart were terrified. They fled in all directions. As for the small trees in the forest, they screamed in horror and quickly collected their branches.

Around the Pill Cauldron, powerful and terrifying energy surged. But a white-robed old man stood in the middle of the surging energy, laughing heartily. The violent energy couldn't touch him at all.

Seeing the power of the Pill Cauldron, Zi Chen quietly hid in a corner and laughed foolishly.

Weng.

The world shook as the power of rules appeared out of nowhere. They came from several directions, streaking across the sky and converging in the air, forming a large net of rules that spun towards the Pill Cauldron below.

The white-robed old man looked up and saw this scene. He smiled faintly and said, "It's too late to seal it now."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Pill Cauldron shook. The beast carvings on the walls seemed to come alive. All kinds of dragon roars and phoenix cries resounded. Ferocious auras were emitted. It was as if ancient beasts had appeared out of nowhere, roaring towards the large net of rules in the sky.

As the world's rules, as the strongest existence in this world, even if they didn't have a flexible mind, they were still enraged. The power of space between heaven and earth began to distort crazily. More power of rules appeared, fusing with each other, forming an even larger net that fell towards the Pill Cauldron.

The terrifying pressure of rules was like the heavens pressing down.

Roar!

The ferocious ancient beasts roared. The illusory figures gradually solidified, as if real ancient beasts had awakened. They all soared into the sky and rushed towards the net of rules.

"Boom!"

A loud tremor resounded through the world. The falling net of rules paused for a moment.

"Boom." "Boom."

More tremors sounded. The entire sky was trembling.

Many ancient beasts dissipated in the air, destroyed by the rules. But the entire net of rules became unstable and finally exploded with a loud bang.

Due to the shattering of the laws between heaven and earth, a strange power spread out. This power spread out in all directions and was sensed by a few experts.

Unfortunately, by the time they began to pay attention to all of this, everything had disappeared without a trace.

The violent energy between Heaven and Earth disappeared, and the cauldron floated in the air. It once again became simple, majestic, and natural. The carvings of the beasts on the walls were so clear, so mighty, and so ferocious. The white-robed old man was still as spotless as before. He turned around and smiled at Zi Chen.

"Senior," Zi Chen called out in surprise.

Cauldron Spirit nodded and said, "Zi Chen, you have come to a good place."

Zi Chen was stunned when he heard this. "Good place."

Cauldron Spirit smilingly replied, "A really good place."

Zi Chen smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe this place is really good, but it has different rules from our world."

Cauldron Spirit looked at Zi Chen and comforted him, "Don't be discouraged. Your achievements and potential in the Zhanwu Continent have nearly reached their limits. But here, with the suppression of the rules, you will be able to unleash even greater potential."

"Greater potential?" Zi Chen was puzzled.

"When I was in your world, I tried to analyze the rules of power in this world and gained some insights. Speaking of which, I'm quite surprised that you were able to summon me here. Try to feel the rules here and try to integrate them into your body. Your power will grow once again."

Zi Chen was pleasantly surprised when he heard that. He finally understood why Cauldron Spirit was able to understand his intentions and appeared in such a low-key manner just by rapidly transmitting his spiritual thought.

But even so, Zi Chen had to bear the wrath of the rules.

If Cauldron Spirit had not appeared in such a low-key manner, Zi Chen's punishment would have been even more severe. Perhaps the rules of heaven and earth would have sealed Cauldron Spirit.

Zi Chen finally understood that his narrow-mindedness had indeed allowed him to deceive the rules.

"Senior, you mean to say that you have grasped the rules of this world?" Zi Chen asked urgently. His face was filled with anticipation.

"I have only scratched the surface. I need some time to familiarize myself with it," said Cauldron Spirit.

"Then … can you refine or refine something?" asked Zi Chen nervously.

"What do you have on you? You can try it."

Zi Chen had almost nothing on him that he could use. Suddenly, he recalled the alien heart in his storage pouch and hastily took one out.

When Cauldron Spirit saw the alien heart, a ray of light flashed through its eyes and it said, "This heart contains a kind of rule energy. I believe that Dan Ding should be able to refine this rule energy. But I don't know how long it will take."

"As expected," Zi Chen was very excited.

The reason the alien heart was so valuable was entirely because of the rule energy it contained. In the Battlefield of Despair, only those special existences who had been recognized by the rules could refine this kind of rule energy.

However, this kind of refined rule energy was very precious. Most seventh stage cultivators could not afford to use it. Even existences like Wharton would be very cautious when using it.

"Senior, we have caused too much of a ruckus just now. Why don't we leave first?" suggested Zi Chen.

"Alright. I will take this opportunity to study the rules of this world," said Cauldron Spirit.

Zi Chen then took out the other three alien hearts and handed them to Cauldron Spirit.

Cauldron Spirit transformed into a ray of light and disappeared into the cauldron.

Under Zi Chen's will, Dan Ding shrunk to the size of a palm.

While Cauldron Spirit was shrinking, Zi Chen sensed that his soul energy was constantly being consumed. He couldn't help but curse, "F * ck!"

Obviously, the rules of this world were unable to seal Cauldron Spirit. Instead, they had shifted the burden onto him.

Now, whenever Zi Chen activated Dan Ding, he would consume a large amount of his soul energy.

Vaguely, Zi Chen seemed to see a repulsive smiling face in the sky.

After cursing angrily, Zi Chen looked at the secluded forest ahead of him. His face immediately lit up with joy.

His luck was pretty good. He had made the right bet. Dan Ding had given him a huge surprise.

Originally, Zi Chen thought that Cauldron Spirit would need to spend some time in this world before it could manifest some of its techniques. However, Cauldron Spirit's techniques at this moment had greatly surprised him.

Now that the alien races had already noticed him, it would undoubtedly be much more dangerous for him to go to the Dax Plain to slaughter them.

Zi Chen could no longer go to the Dax Plain. Or rather, he wouldn't be going there in the near future. During this period of time, he could only rely on Cauldron Spirit and hope that Cauldron Spirit could bring him an even greater surprise.

Therefore, while Cauldron Spirit was studying the alien hearts, Zi Chen walked towards the secluded forest.

He planned to first penetrate the secluded forest and then the Desert of Death.

Zi Chen entered the secluded forest with spear in hand. Actually, he did not know that the beginning of the Battlefield of Despair was actually the periphery of the secluded forest. After progressing one step at a time, one would become a true expert of this world.

However, this was only true for those special existences who had been recognized by the edicts. Although Zi Chen was not a special existence, having Cauldron Spirit by his side not only made up for his shortcomings, but also allowed him to concentrate even more.

The secluded forest was very sensitive to the presence of humans. Therefore, when Zi Chen arrived, he was immediately detected by the nearby saplings.

Soon after, the saplings launched their attacks.

Tree branches filled the sky as they shot towards Zi Chen. They whistled through the air like spears.

Zi Chen unsheathed his longsword and drew a perfect circle in the air.

The sharpness effect was activated and those tree branches were instantly severed. Immediately after, Zi Chen shot his spear towards one of the saplings in front of him.

Pfff!

The spear pierced through the saplings and the soul-devouring effect was activated. The saplings shriveled at a speed visible to the naked eye and a pure energy was fed back to Zi Chen.

The energy Zi Chen had expended was instantly replenished. Immediately after, the blade in Zi Chen's hand flashed again and the saplings nearby were severed at the waist.

After destroying five saplings, Zi Chen obtained five portions of tree sap.

Tree sap was considered the lowest currency in the Battlefield of Despair. One hundred portions could only be exchanged for one spiritual crystal. However, it was said that those pharmacists only needed eighty portions of tree sap to successfully refine one spiritual crystal.

In this way, the pharmacist only needed to refine five portions of tree sap to make a profit of one spiritual crystal. One could see how high the efficiency was.

Just as Zi Chen officially stepped onto the path of becoming an expert, news of the Battlefield of Despair's destruction of a city spread throughout the Imperial Sky Domain.

At the same time, there was also a statement regarding the summoning of experts. Of course, although it was called a summoning, it was actually a forceful demand.

Moreover, most of them were eighth and ninth layers. After all, they had already lost the seventh layer city. Without any support, they would only be heading towards a dead end.

The most urgent matter at hand was to retake the cities that belonged to the humans as soon as possible.

It seemed to be rather difficult for the Cauldron Spirit to refine the heart of a late seventh layer alien right off the bat. Even after half a day, the Cauldron Spirit showed no signs of activity.

During this half a day, Zi Chen had successfully collected a hundred portions of tree sap. He handed the tree sap to the Cauldron Spirit and attempted to refine it.

The refining process was very simple. Moments later, Zi Chen obtained a spiritual crystal and half a wasted spiritual crystal.

The first refinement could be considered a failure in the eyes of the Cauldron Spirit. However, if it were any other special existence, it would still be a satisfactory result.

Zi Chen stayed at the outer perimeter and began to collect tree sap. Due to the Dragon Soul Spear, Zi Chen no longer had to worry about the consumption of tree sap.

The second time, the Cauldron Spirit successfully refined two spiritual crystals out of a hundred portions of tree sap, which was thirty portions less than the usual amount.

Zi Chen was both surprised and excited by this result.

If he were to return to a human city, Zi Chen would have an endless supply of spiritual crystals at his disposal.

In the blink of an eye, Zi Chen had stayed in the secluded forest for three months. The quality of the tree sap grew higher and higher as he ventured deeper. In the end, he was able to refine one spiritual crystal out of every thirty portions of tree sap.

Of course, it was very difficult for Zi Chen to distinguish the quality of the tree sap. Only the Cauldron Spirit could recognize the quality of the tree sap at a glance.

On a certain day after three months, Zi Chen cut down a tree that was as tall as two men and took out a portion of tree sap called 'Tree Marrow'. In the eyes of outsiders, it was equivalent to one hundred portions of tree sap or one spiritual crystal. But in the eyes of the Cauldron Spirit, it was equivalent to three spiritual crystals.
