C32 Desolate Force
C32 Desolate Force
Qi Zhuohao promised Nan Yudia that he would give himself a day off today. He did not want to cultivate, but he had more important things to do. What exactly was that grey Small Cauldron in the Fire Crystal Coffin? Was it harmful to him? He had to find out immediately.
A Small Cauldron that could instantly wither plants and trees was too evil. If the Small Cauldron was really an inauspicious item, Qi Zhuohao had to throw it back to the Wilted Wood Peak as soon as possible. He didn't want to keep an inauspicious item of unknown origin with him. That would be too dangerous!
The Small Cauldron naturally wouldn't pose a threat to the outside world. However, Qi Zhuohao needed to enter the Fire Crystal Coffin to cultivate the Fire God's Fury. At that time, how should he deal with the Small Cauldron? Would the Small Cauldron cause any harm to him?
After summoning the Fire Crystal Coffin, Qi Zhuohao sized up the gray Small Cauldron inside the Fire Crystal Coffin. The Small Cauldron remained motionless in the Fire Crystal Coffin, and the gray fog around it had also disappeared. It no longer had that desolate and desolate aura, and it looked extremely ordinary.
Qi Zhuohao was very surprised. When he was at the foot of the mountain of Afterglow Peak, this grey Small Cauldron had a monstrous aura! Why did it become so obedient after being taken away by the Fire Crystal Coffin? Could it be that the suppression of the Fire Crystal Coffin had caused it to lose its original power?
As he thought of this, Qi Zhuohao stretched out his hand and took out the Small Cauldron. Indeed, as soon as the Small Cauldron left the Fire Crystal Coffin, the grey fog around him immediately appeared. The desolate and desolate Qi spread out, shocking Qi Zhuohao. Under the erosion of the desolate aura, his palm was rapidly aging. This Small Cauldron was actually devouring his life force!
Shocked, Qi Zhuohao hurriedly threw the Small Cauldron into the Fire Crystal Coffin. In an instant, the Small Cauldron became ordinary once again.
"This Small Cauldron is indeed a very ominous and inauspicious item. Looks like I can't keep it!"
Qi Zhuohao sighed emotionally in his heart. His face was filled with fear. This Small Cauldron could actually corrode and even devour his life force. Luckily, he reacted quickly. Otherwise, his palm would have been crippled. No wonder the entire Wilted Wood Peak was corroded by it.
Qi Zhuohao wanted to throw the Small Cauldron back to the Wilted Wood Peak, but just as he was about to put away the Fire Crystal Coffin and return to the foot of the mountain, the Fire Crystal Coffin emitted a dazzling red light. The Small Cauldron slowly floated above the Fire Crystal Coffin.
This situation completely stunned Qi Zhuohao. He had a feeling that the Fire Crystal Coffin was reluctant to let him throw away the Small Cauldron.
Under the illumination of the red light, the Small Cauldron began to spin. The gray fog gradually withdrew. This process continued for a quarter of an hour. When the red light disappeared and the coffin cover was restored, the Small Cauldron was still suspended above the Fire Crystal Coffin.
However, the desolate aura on the Small Cauldron did not spread out. Instead, it was completely hidden within the Small Cauldron, just like how the Small Cauldron would not emit a desolate aura that could corrode everything!
Qi Zhuohao was feeling depressed. Suddenly, the Small Cauldron turned into a stream of light and entered his right arm. Before Qi Zhuohao could be shocked, a message suddenly appeared in his mind. His heart became excited and shocked for a long time!
This Small Cauldron was called the Desolate Cauldron. Now, it had automatically recognized Qi Zhuohao as its master. In other words, this Desolate Cauldron had already become Qi Zhuohao's artifact. It would no longer harm him and would listen to his every command!
In addition to being excited, Qi Zhuohao was also a little confused. This was because the information did not record what grade of treasure the Desolate Cauldron was.
However, Qi Zhuohao knew in his heart that even if it was a Divine Artifact, it needed a martial artist to drip their blood to refine it. A treasure that could automatically recognize a martial artist as its master was definitely a treasure like a Legendary Treasure, and it was even higher grade than a Divine Artifact.
In other words, this Desolate Cauldron was at least a Legendary Treasure. And a treasure like a Legendary Treasure was undoubtedly a legendary existence to a low level martial artist like Qi Zhuohao!
Unfortunately, this Desolate Cauldron was broken. The current Desolate Cauldron... It was only equivalent to a Low Grade Ground Weapon. If it was at its peak, then... In just a breath's time, the entire Thousand Searching Sect would be corroded into a land of death by the Desolate Cauldron. Within a hundred years, not even a blade of grass could grow.
Qi Zhuohao also knew about the desolate Qi that the Desolate Cauldron was emitting. It was called the Qi Of Desolation, and it was a type of gas with a strong corrosive ability. It could corrode and devour the life force of all living things. A martial artist could absorb the Qi Of Desolation and refine it. Then, it could be turned into the Desolate Force for use. However, a martial artist didn't have a complete Desolate Force refining technique. In the end, they would be killed by the Desolate Force's backlash!
This was also the reason why the disciples of the Wilted Wood Peak were killed by the backlash of the Desolate Force after comprehending the wondrous rock and forcefully refining the Qi Of Desolation. Even the almighty expert of the Wilted Wood Peak from hundreds of years ago couldn't withstand the backlash of the Desolate Force.
The information in the Desolate Cauldron recorded the technique to refine the Desolate Force. This was a Secret Technique, and its name was the Desolate Art. It could only be cultivated by cultivating the Desolate Art. Talent! By controlling the Desolate Force, one wouldn't be devoured by it. In other words... Without the Desolate Cauldron, a martial artist would only be courting death by refining the Desolate Force!
The Secret Technique skill was an extremely terrifying technique. Once the Desolate Force was unleashed, it could devour the opponent's life force. It was extremely powerful!
Qi Zhuohao was already very happy after obtaining the Desolate Cauldron and the Desolate skill. However, there was also a cultivation skill recorded in the information. It was called the Boundless Heart Meridian, and it was a skill called the Attribute Cultivation Method. It was not a cultivation technique that came with the Desolate Cauldron. It was a mystical cultivation technique that a heaven-defying expert had forcefully left behind in the Desolate Cauldron.
The Attribute Cultivation Method was a cultivation technique that could be cultivated by any martial artist with any attribute or physique. It was the most suitable cultivation method for a martial artist like Qi Zhuohao who cultivated the Nine Extremes Mixed Essence Body. Ever since he found out that he had a perfect body with nine extremes, but now... He had accidentally obtained the Boundless Heart Meridian of the Attribute Cultivation Method. This was an opportunity!
Everyone knew that after a martial artist condensed a Martial Essence, the Pulse Enrichment cultivation method would be useless. From there, one would need to start cultivating the Attribute Cultivation Method, and what kind of physique attribute would that be? Qi Zhuohao needed to cultivate the Attribute Cultivation Method in comparison to the Attribute Cultivation Method. Qi Zhuohao had a perfect body constitution with nine different attributes. The Attribute Cultivation Method he needed was a cultivation technique with nine attributes as one, or a non-elemental cultivation technique.
If he didn't obtain the Desolate Cauldron, Qi Zhuohao's cultivation would stop advancing after advancing to the Essence Condensation Stage. But now, after obtaining the Boundless Heart Meridian skill, he would be able to cultivate with indomitable will. The Attribute Cultivation Method was extremely rare!
Qi Zhuohao carefully comprehended the message that the Desolate Cauldron had transmitted to him. His heart gradually sank. Although the Desolate Cauldron was a rare treasure, it was broken. It needed to be restored, and it was extremely difficult to restore the Desolate Cauldron. He needed the Qi Of Desolation!
The Desolate Cauldron could absorb the Qi Of Desolation from the heaven and earth and restore itself. The Qi Of Desolation that was transformed by the Desolate Cauldron would have a corrosive ability that was more than a hundred times stronger than the mixed Qi Of Desolation in the heaven and earth.
"Where can I find the Qi Of Desolation for you to absorb?" Qi Zhuohao had a helpless look on his face. Other than the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth, there was nothing else in the world. The more strange and heaven defying these gases were, the more mysterious and heaven defying they were. The rarer and rarer these gases were.
For example, the Mystic Fire Qi and Yin Yang Qi that flowed out from the Fire Crystal Coffin, as well as the Qi Of Desolation that the Desolate Cauldron needed to absorb, and so on and so forth. All of them were extremely rare and mystical Qi. Qi Zhuohao sighed with emotion in his heart. In this life, he wanted to live by searching for magical gases!
The Profound Fire Qi and Yin and Yang Qi in the Fire Crystal Coffin could not last for a few years, and they would all be used up. At that time, Qi Zhuohao would have to find the Profound Fire Qi and the Yin and Yang Qi for the Fire Crystal Coffin to absorb. Now, he had another goal, the Qi Of Desolation!
Qi Zhuohao could cultivate the Desolate Art, and the powerful Desolate Force would be of great help to his strength. Besides, the Desolate Force in his body wouldn't hurt him at all when he cultivated the Desolate skill. Qi Zhuohao knew very well that the Desolate Cauldron had been cleansed and refined by the Fire Crystal Coffin. He trusted the Fire Crystal Coffin very much.
After memorizing all the information in his heart, Qi Zhuohao began to try circulating the Desolate Art. Gradually, the Qi Of Desolation in the Desolate Cauldron flowed into his body. After circulating the Desolate Art, the Qi Of Desolation actually didn't erode his body.
Overjoyed, Qi Zhuohao crazily absorbed the Qi Of Desolation in the Desolate Cauldron and turned it into the Desolate Force, storing it in his Ren Meridian, Minor Yin Heart Meridian, and other meridians. Only the meridians that were completely opened could store the Desolate Force.
Of course, once Qi Zhuohao broke through to the Essence Condensation Stage, he would be able to form the Martial Essence. The Martial Essence was very useful to him. Not only could it store the Yuan energy of the Spiritual Force, it could also store the items of a warrior. And all sorts of strange powers!
In just an hour, Qi Zhuohao's already opened meridians were filled with Desolate Force. Since then, he could no longer continue cultivating the Desolate Art. He had a feeling... If he were to face a fifth level Profound realm expert, he would be able to use the Desolate Force. He would be able to kill him with a single punch.
After all, the Desolate Force was extremely destructive and corrosive. The force that could devour the life force of all living things could only be described as terrifying.
Qi Zhuohao was very satisfied. Unless he could save his own life, he wouldn't dare to use the Fury Skill Fire God's Fury. With the Desolate Force, he now had another life-saving ability. The Desolate Force had entered his body, which made up for the flaw of not being able to use the Fire God's Fury at will!
The flaw in the beauty was that Qi Zhuohao had absorbed the Qi Of Desolation in the Desolate Cauldron. It was the same as drawing the blood of the Desolate Cauldron. One should know that... The Qi Of Desolation that the Desolate Cauldron released could be taken back, but after the Qi Of Desolation was absorbed and refined into the Desolate Force, the Qi Of Desolation would disappear completely.
Fortunately, with Qi Zhuohao's current low realm, even if he absorbed the Qi Of Desolation for a few years, he would only be able to absorb one or two thousand of the Qi Of Desolation within the Desolate Cauldron. This wouldn't cause much damage to the Desolate Cauldron itself.
"Now that I have the Desolate Force, even if I have to face a disciple of the Outer Sect who has cultivated a martial skill... I need to advance my realm to the fifth level of the Meridians Vessel as soon as possible. I need to get rid of this damn nominal disciple's identity! "Qi Zhuohao was delighted and started to plan.
The huge workload stimulated the potential in Qi Zhuohao's body. It had increased the strength of his Cultivation Stage and physical body. But... This effect was gradually decreasing. He had to become a disciple of the Outer Sect as soon as possible. Only then could he go and cultivate in the Pulse Jade Pool!
Otherwise, at this rate, once he advanced to the fifth level of the Meridians Vessel, Qi Zhuohao estimated that he would not be able to advance a small realm for several months. He thirsted for powerful strength. Even an Essence Incarnating Stage wasn't his goal. He had to work harder in his cultivation.
With his current state of mind, Qi Zhuohao kept the Fire Crystal Coffin and started circulating his cultivation technique to increase his cultivation base. Luckily, Nan Yudia gave him a sufficient amount of Meridian Spiritual Grass. Otherwise... No matter how fast his cultivation speed was, he would not be able to cultivate to the fourth level of Meridian Vessel Transformation in two months.
However, Nan Yudia still underestimated the resources that Qi Zhuohao needed for his cultivation. Half of the medicinal concoction of fifty stalks of Meridian Spiritual Grass had already been used up, and the higher the realm, the higher it was. The more cultivation resources needed, the more cultivation resources needed for the Meridian Vessel Realm. He also needed quite a number of Meridian Spiritual Grass...
