Chapter 479: Return After Departure
“Pah!” Barbarian Huzi shouted loudly, and a blood-red beam shot out from his mouth, striking the blood jade spider.
With a “pop” sound, the beam exploded upon contact with the blood jade spider’s body.
A massive cloud of red blood mist suddenly appeared around them, instantly enveloping the spiritual beast.
The blood jade spider emitted a “hissing” sound, appearing restless and agitated, as if provoked.
Han Li saw this and felt a surge of anger in his heart.
Just hearing the name "Berserk Technique," he knew this must be a demonic path secret art with some side effects.
These old demons hadn’t mentioned this to him at all but had recklessly used it without any thought for the consequences it might bring to the blood jade spider.
It seemed they never took him, a foundation formation cultivator, seriously!
Although Han Li had anticipated something like this, being treated this way still left his face sour.
At this moment, the blood mist was completely absorbed by the blood jade spider.
What was originally a translucent body had turned a deep blood-red color, resembling a gigantic crimson gem.
“This is…” Han Li saw the blood jade spider’s transformation and immediately recalled the scene when that blood jade spider had gone berserk in the underground cave of Tian Nan.
It was the same fiery red all over, vividly colored—this must be the blood jade spider in a state of rage.
Han Li cautiously sent out a sliver of divine sense and sensed the beast’s madness and agitation; it seemed on the verge of losing its rationality.
Startled, Han Li wanted to forcibly soothe the blood jade spider when Barbarian Huzi suddenly shouted loudly beside him.
“What are you standing there for? Hurry up and order your blood jade spider to pull it out. The berserk technique has a time limit!” Barbarian Huzi barked, glaring fiercely.
Han Li was silently annoyed at this but had no choice but to let the blood jade spider keep exerting itself.
Fortunately, although the blood jade spider had entered a berserk state, it still obeyed its master’s orders without fail. Immediately, a flashing red light flickered in its green eyes, and several pointed legs clawed randomly, gradually pulling the taut spider silk backward bit by bit.
A tremor three-tenths stronger than before occurred, accompanied by several low, rumbling thunder sounds coming from the cave.
Seeing this, Barbarian Huzi and the others almost simultaneously grinned with delight!
Then a blinding blue light suddenly blasted out from the cave, shooting over ten zhang above the altar.
Han Li instantly felt a chill, then warmth.
A brilliant azure light shield enveloped him.
Surprised, Han Li realized it was the old man in Confucian robes who had magnified his protective light severalfold, shielding Han Li within.
“Be careful! The moment the Void Heaven Cauldron is lifted will unleash a cold air several times fiercer than before. When this accident happened previously, countless treasure-seeking cultivators were caught off guard and suffered heavy losses,” the old man murmured solemnly.
Though his words were evidently directed at Han Li, his gaze never glanced at him; instead, he fixed his eyes unwaveringly on the cave entrance.
At this moment, scholar Qingyi appeared extraordinarily tense!
Han Li was startled by what he heard.
Could it be that many had tried to lift this cauldron before and failed? If so, why did they all fail?
Though curious, Han Li knew this was not the time to ask questions. He turned his attention back to the scene at the center of the altar.
It was obvious that the Void Heaven Cauldron was extremely heavy. Despite several spiritual beasts exerting full force, it only moved and contracted bit by bit. The blue light at the cave opening grew more dazzling.
At this moment, not only Ji Yin and the others but even Wu Chou and Mysterious Bone below the altar watched the scene without blinking.
Wu Chou clenched his hands tightly, his face filled with excitement and greed.
