X-Dragon Era-Chapter 268 - s 205-207 The Cauldron of Chaos_4
The All-Heaven Netherworld Banner was not only useful for forming formations but also served as a means of defense and attack. With a sweep of the banner, it could whisk away attacks, offering protection. Thrown by hand, the banner could instantly fly out and pierce an enemy’s body, serving as an attack.
Its speed surpassed that of sharp arrows, and it was incomparably sharp; nothing could withstand it. Once someone was struck by it, unless there was a vast disparity in strength, there would be no escape.
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh..." With a mere flick of his hand, twelve All-Heaven Netherworld Banners shot out like a string of pearls, successively penetrating a stalagmite, with only the banner’s surface remaining visible.
With an excited smile, Xin Yun waved his right hand, and the twelve All-Heaven Netherworld Banners instantly transformed into twelve streaks of black light, returning to Xin Yun’s hand. They moved as fast as lightning, coming and going in an instant.
"Holy shit..." Feeling the formidable power of the All-Heaven Netherworld Banner, Xin Yun couldn’t help but exclaim. With this treasure, there was no longer any need to practice the Boomerang Axe! As his mind slightly moved, twelve black banners roared out, flipping in the air and each piercing into the collar of Xin Yun’s clothes.

The fluttering black banners unfurled behind his head, swaying with the wind and looking both cool and dashing, absolutely stunning to behold.
Shaking his head, Xin Yun’s face was filled with bitterness. Indeed, these treasures were incredibly powerful, and though they couldn’t compare to the genuine articles in the hands of future saints, if he was willing to persist in cultivating, slowly repairing and accumulating, one day, the Sky-opening Axe would unleash its most potent power and overpower all other Innate Supreme Treasures!
Although, when compared individually, the magical treasures Xin Yun possessed could never match the power of the same treasures held by saints, for after all... each of the eight fragments contained a portion of Innate Xuanhuang Qi, an irreplaceable force.
However, when Xin Yun could eventually combine the eight fragments into one, the dispersed Innate Xuanhuang Qi within the five souls of the Sky-opening Axe would also merge, granting him an edge in terms of Innate Xuanhuang Qi, and even an advantage.
Although the process of merging the Sky-opening Axe was disrupted by Hong Jun initially, some progress had been made, and some Xuanhuang Qi from the eight fragments had already been absorbed by the Axe Soul. More than a tenth of the Qi had been extracted from each fragment, and in total, the combined amount surpassed that of any other Innate Supreme Treasure!
Therefore, when Xin Yun finally repaired the Sky-opening Axe and, using the Axe Soul, merged the eight fragments into one to restore its true form, its power would unquestionably be unmatched by any Innate Supreme Treasure, just as no Ancestral Witch could ever stand equal to Pangu’s True Form.
The only problem facing Xin Yun, however, was that the power of a single individual was ultimately limited. He had to gather the fine metals, slaughter beings to absorb their blood souls, enhance his own strength, refine his combat skills, take care of Yi Luo Xiang and Yan Qingying, and more...
There was simply too much to do. In one’s lifetime, it would be good enough to do one thing well, let alone everything. It was impossible to accomplish all by himself; even if he worked himself to death, Xin Yun couldn’t manage it alone.
Now, Xin Yun’s dilemma was that there were too many essential tasks and only one of him. It was impossible to accomplish everything simultaneously! Inevitably, choices had to be made, but what to choose and what to forgo? He could hardly bear to part with any of them.
Let’s not talk about Xin Yun’s own strength and battle skills, nor about his emotions and life. Just considering these Innate Supreme Treasures, which one should he choose? Which one should he give up? Upon reflection, each one seemed indispensable.
Happy troubles, indeed... Xin Yun was presently in the throes of joyful agony. It was impossible to give up any, but not giving up anything would mean squandering everything. What should he do!
With a lost shake of his head, Xin Yun sighed. With a thought, he put away the Tai Chi Diagram, Chaos Bell, All-Heaven Netherworld Banner, and Zhu Xian Four Swords. Although these were not genuine, if he continued to repair them, their functions would be the same and their power incredibly formidable, classifying them among Innate Spiritual Treasures.
The reason for this was all thanks to the Chaos Cauldron. Without the Chaos Cauldron’s ability to reflect the innate, the repairs would have been impossible to complete. The fine metals of the mundane world could only repair treasures of the mundane world, that is, acquired magical treasures, which could never match the power of Innate Magical Treasures.

However, after the reflection from the Chaos Cauldron, the worldly metals, under the refinement of chaotic airflow, returned to their innate state and became Innate Fine Metals. The Sky-opening Axe that was repaired with them was naturally of innate quality as well.
It might not seem useful at first glance, but in reality, the Chaos Cauldron is probably the most practical among the Innate Supreme Treasures.
Noticing that Xin Yun’s expression didn’t seem too good, the two girls quickly gathered around and inquired with concern. Facing their questions, Xin Yun simply shook his head without saying anything, and with the company of the two girls, he returned to the Cultivation Secret Room to continue researching the last treasure—the Chaos Cauldron.
Once everything was thoroughly studied, he would systematically explain to the two girls, and then they could figure out a way to overcome all the difficulties together.
Within the secret chamber, Xin Yun sat cross-legged, his hands hovering in the air as light surged. In the next moment... a gray, four-legged square cauldron appeared in front of him.
He reached out with both hands and placed them on the Chaos Cauldron. The next moment... a black light rose from the mouth of the cauldron, and the churning black mist, like boiling black water, swirled violently at the mouth of the cauldron, but not a single trace leaked out.
After an unknown amount of time, Xin Yun finally opened his eyes, his gaze filled with surprise. This was truly beyond expectations—the Chaos Cauldron was so powerful!
The innate ability of the Chaos Cauldron lay in utilizing the boundless chaotic qi within to refine materials and return them to their innate state. Now that he had repaired 10% of the Chaos Cauldron, it had gained a new ability! An ability that was also incredibly powerful.
The new ability of the Chaos Cauldron was unimaginably powerful. Now, with just a certain amount of metals, the Cauldron could, with the help of the Axe Soul, refine replicas of its own body!
Maybe this sounds a bit confusing, but to put it simply, it means using its own structure to create magical treasure avatars connected to the main body! These avatars have the same structure and function as the main body but are subservient to it—in a master-servant relationship.
The avatar is based on the main body and leverages its power and laws. Once deployed, its might is the same as the main body, but this power is borrowed, just like the avatar itself, which is merely an extension of the main body—they are actually one and the same.
As it stands, each avatar possesses the same abilities and power as the main body. This power is borrowed, not truly owned by the avatar, which is more like a token—a token for borrowing the main body’s power.
All avatars are controlled by the main body, which is to say, they are controlled by the Sky-opening Axe Soul. At the mere thought, an avatar can instantly lose all its abilities. In fact... it is just that the main body ceases to lend its power.
Through this ability, Xin Yun can rapidly create a large number of the Four Great Supreme Treasures using metals. Although their might is not great, their value is extremely high. Even without summoning dragons, they can be completely immune to bronze-tier damage, totally disregard bronze-tier defenses, and entangle silver-tier enemies. This is a significant enhancement to everyone’s personal safety.
This ability is unique to Xin Yun’s Chaos Cauldron. Even the original one in Nuwa’s possession does not have this function. In fact... the reason why that Chaos Cauldron is not listed among the Innate Supreme Treasures is precisely because it only has the ability to reflect innate qualities. Aside from using the Sky-Patching Stone to refine colored stones, it’s basically useless for anything else.
This ability must be wielded by the Sky-opening Axe Soul. And in the future, the Chaos Cauldron in Nuwa’s hands is but a lifeless vessel, possessing only the most basic instinct—to refine everything that enters it and to return to the innate state!
Just imagine how terrifying it would be if this Chaos Cauldron had the ability it has now. If any sage possessed the Chaos Cauldron, then what would be the point of having the Sky-Overturning Seal, Gold Lizard Tip, Primordial Golden Dou, or the Sea-Calming Pearl?
I’m afraid then all disciples could stand on the Tai Chi Diagram, hold the Pangu Banner, have the Chaos Bell above their heads and be surrounded by the Zhu Xian Four Swords. With just one outburst of anger, they could set up the All-Heaven Divine and Evil Formation, condense Pangu’s True Form, and other sects would stand no chance against them.
Admiringly looking at the Chaos Cauldron enveloped in swirling black qi, it’s no wonder Hongjun was so wary. Indeed... as this world arose from the Sky-opening Axe, it would also inevitably perish because of it. Just think about it; if such a day really were to come, what else would the world be waiting for to be destroyed? (To be continued. For further events, please visit www.qidian.com.
