Chapter 1025: Doomsday Cauldron
Klaus sent a strand of his consciousness into his soul sea.
He appeared inside the first core, where the cauldron and other soul weapons were kept.
Initially, it was completely black. However, Klaus could now see the black coating starting to peel off as it hummed, revealing a subtle golden color.
“What is the connection between you and the Mountain?” Klaus asked, but the cauldron didn’t respond. It just continued to hum, making Klaus scratch the back of his head.
“Looks like it can’t talk,” he smiled weakly, knowing he expected too much.
The mountain coming through the clouds hadn’t even fully appeared yet, but the pressure bearing down on him was already this terrifying.
[Brat, the mountain coming is what we call an Immortal Mountain. It was an ordinary mountain that was once used by an immortal to undergo heavenly tribulation, making it something incredibly powerful, and, to some extent, it even contains immortal qi.
In your case, I will take the latter, considering it is you. This means you are in some form of danger, which isn’t surprising, considering who you are.
However, listen to me carefully, because surviving this thing has only one way.
You have to use your full strength to push it back into the clouds. Under no circumstance should you even think about fighting it.]
“About that.”
Just when Klaus said that, the cauldron flew out from his soul sea and shot like a meteor toward the mountain that was halfway out of the clouds.
“The cauldron seems to have some connection to this mountain,” Klaus said, and the senior, who had just told Klaus how to pass the second form of the tribulation, was left speechless by what he was seeing.
The cauldron that sped toward the mountain landed at the base, and like a needle, it entered the mountain, causing it to fall much faster from the clouds.
In no time, the mountain was fully out, and Klaus, who was standing beneath it, was being crushed by an overwhelming force.
However, Klaus remained standing, and instead of panicking, he put on a smile while doing two important things.
First, he was comprehending the Law of Gravity by utilizing the pressure from the immortal mountain, slowly falling down on him.
Naturally, as the mountain slowly fell toward him, he began to sense the laws of gravity reacting to it more clearly and intensely.
This filled Klaus with happiness. However, he was also paying attention to the changes happening to the mountain.
It was falling slowly, pressing down hard on Klaus, but it was also changing, and the more Klaus saw this change, the wider his smile got.
“Looks like the heavens are about to lose something again.” Klaus laughed.
“It is only natural. As your natural-born enemy, I relish moments like this, knowing it makes your heart bleed.
But what do you expect? After making me the number one enemy of the entire universe, do you really think I will lie low and let you step on me?
No. I will steal everything dear to you and kill those that can’t be stolen. Then, when you are done, using your own treasures and resources, I will build a new hierarchy, one that even you will have to submit to me.
I have long endured your torment and ridicule. This time, you will endure mine.”
In no time, the changes happening to the Immortal Mountain became clear.
Initially, Klaus didn’t know what the cauldron wanted, so he hesitated to allow it to leave his soul sea. However, he suddenly sensed an intense hunger coming from the cauldron, causing him to realise what it wanted.
So Klaus freed it, and the result was now showing.
The Immortal Mountain was slowly taking the shape of the cauldron. This could only mean one thing: the cauldron was devouring the mountain and slowly increasing in size.
As the mountain slowly turned into a cauldron, the seniors’ shocked voices entered Klaus’s head.
[How stupid of me to not have recalled the nature of this Cauldron from the moment I saw it. Now that I see what it is doing, there is no doubt this is the Doomsday Cauldron.]
“Doomsday Cauldron?” Klaus asked with a brow raised. He recognised that name from his 4th incarnation.
Back then, he was on the run from a group of demigods when he suddenly fell into a trap set by a sick-in-the-head demon king.
This trap was one Fruity never saw coming. However, he managed to escape using the cauldron he obtained after winning a bet against a certain emperor.
If he recalled correctly, when he used the cauldron to break the trap, the demon king turned pale and muttered a name Fruity only heard echoed in his mind.
’Doomsday Cauldron’
He had forgotten about that name and even failed to follow up on it when he escaped. So hearing it for the second time made him furrow his brow.
The pressure bearing down on him was lessening as the mountain was turning into a cauldron. The heavens were roaring like mad hounds, but Klaus didn’t even seem to care.
“Senior, what is the Doomsday Cauldron?”
[It is one of the three mysteries of the universe, Klaus]
Whenever the senior called Klaus by his name, it meant he was being serious.
[In the universe, there are three mysteries no one has been able to decipher. One of these mysteries is you. Nobody knew the origin of the Paragon.
The second is the Mystery of the Doomsday Cauldron. Many speculated about different things, with some even saying this cauldron is a treasure beyond the understanding of this universe.
They claim it is a treasure from higher dimensions that was sent here with the intention of refining this universe into a cultivation treasure. Naturally, this theory was due to the Doomsday Cauldron’s tendency to devour worlds and heavenly bodies.
It was recorded in the Ancient Archives that during the Primordial Era, the Divine Archer’s Era, and the Blood Era, this cauldron devoured more worlds than the ones the Paragons destroyed.
However, it vanished during the start of the Renegade Era. Now, seeing it devour an Immortal Mountain, this should indeed be the Doomsday Cauldron.]
“Interesting. I never knew I had such a powerful treasure hidden inside my soul all this time.” Thinking about how he used it as a storage device, Klaus could only smile and shake his head.
RUMBLE
The heavens were so furious that if one were standing in space, looking at the red planet, they would see a large set of eyes staring daggers at the planet.
Naturally, this was the third thing Klaus was taking from them.
The first was the Lightning Source Diagram, which he used Hanna as bait to steal from them. The second was the red-colored Superimposing Spear he stole at the end of the first form of the tribulation.
Now, the cauldron was stealing their precious mountain, which, at worst, Klaus was only supposed to push back to them. Naturally, the restrictions on the mountain were so much that Klaus would have suffered greatly to push it back.
At worst, Klaus would have exhausted all nine cores before pushing it back into the cloud. However, the script had been flipped, and the outcome they expected wasn’t what was happening.
Klaus was perfectly fine, and the death they sent his way was 90% devoured by a treasure he owned. In a way, the heavens had lost so much in their attempt to ensure Klaus didn’t succeed in reaching the Chaos Stage.
BOOM
The cloud exploded, sending a powerful karmic retribution at Klaus. By then, the cauldron had finished devouring the mountain. Klaus waved his hand and sent it to his soul sea.
However, the next second, a childish voice entered his head, causing him to freeze in place…
“Thank you, big brother…”
The cauldron spoke.
