Proving Immortality Starting with Hextech Runes

"The Xuanhuang Cauldron?" Chen Xu took the small cauldron and examined it carefully.

Although he didn't know the grade of the cauldron, things that he couldn't understand were the most powerful.

This cauldron is definitely extraordinary!

However, just as Chen Xu was about to inject his spiritual power to see the effect, the dense fleshy spheres in the cave began to throb violently.

Immediately afterwards, those fleshy spheres exploded.

The foul-smelling, filthy liquid splattered everywhere, and countless evil spirits of various shapes poured out from it.

Some of these evil spirits resembled skinned beasts, while others looked like writhing rotting flesh; the scene was horrifying.

Immediately afterwards, countless evil spirits rushed towards Chen Xu in a frenzy.

At the same time, the entire underground space trembled violently, and an angry voice resounded in Chen Xu's sea of ​​consciousness:

"Chen Xu!!!"

"What did you do to my Evil Emperor Cauldron?!"

At the end of the cave, a phantom of the Fish Emperor was rapidly coalescing, exuding a chilling aura.

The Fish Emperor is still alive? Looking at the horrifying scene before him, Chen Xu felt his scalp tingle.

It seems this clone is about to perish here... but I absolutely cannot let the [Xuanhuang Cauldron] I just acquired fall into the hands of this evil spirit.

Chen Xu then withdrew his spiritual power and prepared to put the Xuanhuang Cauldron back into his storage space.

But at that moment, the Xuanhuang Cauldron, having just absorbed a trace of Chen Xu's spiritual power, began to operate on its own.

"Oh no!" Chen Xu felt a chill run down his spine as he immediately felt the spiritual energy within his body surging into him.

He tried to forcibly cut off the flow of spiritual energy, but found that his own spiritual energy was extremely fragile in the face of this suction force and was instantly swallowed up.

In an instant, the Xuanhuang Cauldron emitted a soft golden light, dispelling the blood and filth in the cave.

The golden light condensed into countless fine, mysterious ripples, which spread out silently.

Then, those evil spirits pounced on Chen Xu.

The moment it was swept by the golden ripples, it turned into wisps of black smoke and dissipated.

"No!!"

The newly formed phantom of the Fish Emperor let out a terrified roar under the golden light.

"What kind of power is this?! Damn it... my divine sense!!!"

However, the Fish Emperor's phantom only lasted for a few breaths before shattering.

The golden light came quickly and went quickly.

After annihilating all evil spirits and the phantom of the Fish Emperor, the gentle golden light flowed back like rivers returning to the sea, all disappearing into the Xuanhuang Cauldron.

Due to the depletion of his spiritual energy, Chen Xu's vision was blurring and his body was extremely weak.

Just as he was about to enter a state of observation, he quickly put the Xuanhuang Cauldron back into his storage space.

The clone then completely lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground.

……

Inside a cave in the Dark City.

Chen Xu's true form opened his eyes, took out the Xuanhuang Cauldron, and played with it in his hand.

"This cauldron is incredibly powerful; it can be activated with just Foundation Establishment spiritual power."

Although it can easily deplete one's spiritual energy, it can also be surprisingly effective in crucial moments...

Thinking of this, Chen Xu no longer hesitated and immediately took out the mysterious jade slip, preparing to unleash the full power of the Xuanhuang Cauldron within the jade slip's space.

However, after entering the jade slip space, he discovered that the illusory image of the Xuanhuang Cauldron could not be condensed at all.

This was the first time he had ever seen anything like it.

Then Chen Xu's thoughts shifted again, and he tried to condense the Evil Emperor Cauldron, which was the predecessor of the Xuanhuang Cauldron.

The space fluctuated again, and after the ripples subsided, the phantom of the Evil Emperor Cauldron still failed to appear.

Upon seeing this, Chen Xu was greatly shocked and astonished.

Because of this jade slip space, even the phantom images of the First Saint Spear and ancient treasures can be condensed.

It can't even condense the Evil Emperor Cauldron? Could it be that the cauldron's grade is higher than the Primordial Saint Spear and the ancient treasure?

So what exactly is the grade of the Xuanhuang Cauldron, which is one level higher than the Evil Emperor Cauldron?

The moment this thought crossed Chen Xu's mind, even though he remained calm, his breath caught in his throat slightly.

He looked down at the simple, ancient-looking cauldron in his hand, his eyes burning with emotion.

This is truly a treasure strike... This Xuanhuang Cauldron is not only of extremely high grade,

Even with my Foundation Establishment stage cultivation, I could barely unleash a trace of its power...

Just as Chen Xu was pondering this, a new situation arose at the ruins.

……

The extent of the ruins of the First Emperor is far beyond imagination.

In addition to the desert areas mentioned earlier, there are also rainforests, cliffs, wastelands, and many other terrains.

Without clear guidance, even if intruders spent months exploring this area, they might not be able to reach the core area.

The Star Chart Lock is located at this extremely hidden node.

At this moment, beside the Star Chart Lock, Li Yuan was sitting cross-legged, listlessly fiddling with two angular stones.

Suddenly, a deep rift tore open in front of the Star Chart Lock, sending the unconscious Chen Xu out.

"Lord Fish Emperor!" Li Yuan's pupils shrank, and he rushed over in one stride.

"My lord... how could you..." His voice was filled with fear and confusion.

Chen Xu was awakened by the noise and slowly opened his eyes.

Seeing this, Li Yuan quickly bent down and asked, "Lord Fish Emperor, are you alright?"

His tone was respectful, but there was a hint of barely perceptible doubt mixed in.

He stared intently at Chen Xu, trying to glean clues from his subtle expressions.

Chen Xuqiang suppressed his physical discomfort and stood up.

Seeing Li Yuan's respectful attitude, clearly still unaware of the situation, he imitated the Fish Emperor's tone and replied:

"It's alright."

"It was just a minor problem. You may leave now. I'll call you again if needed."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan respectfully replied, "Yes, Your Majesty the Fish Emperor's power is unfathomable; I admire you!"

He flattered her, but didn't leave immediately. Instead, he put on an even more obsequious smile and cautiously spoke:

"However, I have another question to ask..."

Chen Xu maintained a cold expression, replying only indifferently, "What is it?"

Li Yuan lowered his head and said in a low voice, "When will you be able to bestow upon me the Blood Coagulation Pill that you promised?"

Blood Coagulation Pill? Chen Xu frowned and said coldly:

"When the time comes, I will give it to you..."

He paused deliberately, emphasizing the warning in his tone: "Are you perhaps questioning me?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan's voice trembled with obvious fear:

"I had no such intention! It was just a slip of the tongue; please forgive me, Your Majesty! I will take my leave now!"

He spoke rapidly, maintaining his bowed posture, and quickly walked away.

After leaving Chen Xu's sight, Li Yuan did not slow down and hurried towards the outside of the ruins.

His face had completely darkened by this point.

Because... the pill he just asked about is completely fabricated!

Lord Fish Emperor has always acted domineeringly; how could he have ever promised his subordinates such a reward as elixirs?

If it commands, it is always an unquestionable order; if there is any disobedience, it will be met with swift and decisive action.

The so-called Blood Coagulation Pill was nothing more than a test.

The reaction of "Lord Fish Emperor" also revealed the truth.

Chen Xu! You actually managed to expel and even obliterate the consciousness of the Fish Emperor...

Who exactly are you?

Thinking of this, Li Yuan felt a surge of panic.

Regardless of the circumstances, as long as Chen Xu doesn't point it out, I have to treat him as Lord Fish Emperor.

Otherwise... if you offend an existence even more terrifying than the Fish Emperor, you might not even know how you died!
