Chapter 713: Chapter 187: Five Cauldrons Breaking the Limit Opens a Secret Realm, Xuanyuan’s Undercurrents Hide Killing Intent

’So fast!’

Mo Yunzi’s relaxed expression vanished, replaced by profound shock.

This wasn’t the first time she had seen Chu Fan’s Five Cauldrons Seal, but this time, the crushing pressure and speed were more than twice as strong as before!

The five-colored light intertwined, seemingly sealing off the entire space.

She had no time to think. Primordial Qi surged through her body as she executed the Ghost Shadow Illusionary Body Step. Her footwork was bizarre; with a single flicker, her body blurred into several residual images, making it difficult to tell which was real. She tried to burst out of the lethal zone enveloped by the five cauldrons’ light.

However, a scene that made her scalp tingle unfolded!

The five cauldrons above her head seemed to have grown eyes.

It was as if they had locked onto her soul’s aura, moving rapidly in tandem with her every motion!

At the peak of the First Heaven of the Acupoint Realm, she pushed her Ghost Shadow Illusionary Body Step to its limit. She moved several dozen feet in the blink of an eye, her Body Technique so fast it left behind residual images.

But no matter how she dodged or weaved, whenever she looked up, the five cauldrons remained hovering steadily right above her!

They shadowed her every move, impossible to evade!

BUZZ—

A colorless pillar of light descended abruptly, instantly enveloping Mo Yunzi completely.

The cauldrons hadn’t even landed, but their oppressive might had already arrived!

With the Five Cauldrons still in mid-air, Mo Yunzi felt the surrounding air thicken into a viscous mire. Every movement cost her ten, even a hundred times her usual effort.

Then, a massive, transparent cauldron shadow materialized from thin air. Like an overturned glass cup, it descended a step ahead of the others and trapped her inside!

Her Ghost Shadow Illusionary Body Step, which had reached the Great Success realm under Chu Fan’s guidance, was usually as swift as the wind. But now, suppressed by the sealing power, it was as slow and clumsy as a crawling snail.

’This is bad!’

Mo Yunzi’s heart sank.

The next moment—

RUMBLE!

The five physical cauldrons in the air plummeted with a deafening roar. Like a perfectly fitting set of nesting dolls, they merged flawlessly with the transparent cauldron shadow and slammed viciously into the ground!

The earth trembled violently as dust and smoke filled the air.

Five-colored radiance flowed, coalescing into an indestructible cage.

Mo Yunzi was completely sealed within!

Such a commotion had long since alarmed everyone on the other side of the Martial Arts Arena.

Zhao Tianxing, Li Qingxue, and the others all stopped their training, turning in unison to look over.

From within the Five Elements Cauldron’s cage, Mo Yunzi’s panicked cry rang out, "Open!"

BOOM!

She was clearly channeling her power from within, attempting to break the seal.

The Five Elements Cauldron shuddered violently, but with just that single tremor, the radiance flowing around its body instantly neutralized the internal impact.

It remained as firm as a mountain, not moving an inch!

Seeing this from the sidelines, the Cyan Snake gasped, her beautiful eyes widening. "This... this Five Cauldrons Seal is so domineering! It actually subdued an Acupoint Realm expert like Mo Yunzi with ease?"

Beside her, the White Snake rolled her eyes flirtatiously and retorted, "Isn’t that obvious? Who do you think he is? He’s a monster who can beat a Bright Heart Realm expert to death! How could Mo Yunzi possibly resist when he’s using a High-Grade Profound Weapon to seal her?"

"What the hell do you know!" the Cyan Snake snapped, a rational light glinting in her jade-green eyes as she analyzed the situation. "Don’t you see? Chu Fan’s strength lies in his terrifying physique, which is like a Divine Weapon. But his Martial Arts Realm is, in reality, only the Third Heaven of the Divine Power Realm!"

"Using the Primordial Qi and Divine Sense of the Third Heaven of the Divine Power Realm to activate a great Sealing Skill like the Five Cauldrons Seal—one that consumes so much energy and spirit—even with a High-Grade Profound Weapon like the Five Elements Cauldron, it would normally be difficult to seal an Acupoint Realm expert for long."

Hearing the Cyan Snake’s analysis, Li Qingxue and Zhao Tianxing exchanged a glance and nodded in agreement.

Both the High-Grade Profound Weapon, the Five Elements Cauldron, and the Five Cauldrons Seal Secret Technique required immense Primordial Qi to sustain.

Chu Fan’s tyrannical physique could shatter Profound Weapons, but it offered no bonus to a Sealing Skill like this.

...

Meanwhile, in the center of the Martial Arts Arena, Chu Fan gazed at the brilliant, multicolored Five Elements Cauldron and nodded slightly.

He assessed the situation with perfect clarity.

’In the past when I used this move,’ he thought, ’my Primordial Qi was insufficient and my Divine Sense was too weak. I could only achieve a temporary seal.’

’To kill my enemy, I had to rush into the seal the moment it formed, using its suppression of my opponent to engage in close-quarters combat within the confined space.’

’Back when I fought Baili Bing in the Chaotic Stone Forest, I gave it my all and could only barely power the Five Elements Cauldron to seal her for a few breaths.’

’A moment later, I could feel my Primordial Qi was depleted, and my body was swaying from exhaustion.’

’Later, when I grievously wounded Mo Daozi, I also sealed him first before entering the cauldron to finish him off.’

’In the end, it always came down to having insufficient Primordial Qi and a weak Divine Sense.’

’Primordial Qi reserves and Divine Sense strength are essential for controlling Magical Treasure Secret Artifacts... My Divine Sense isn’t weak now, but my Primordial Qi is still only at the level of the Third Heaven of the Divine Power Realm.’

But now, the Five Cauldrons Seal had achieved Perfection through Breaking Limit, gaining the powerful new Traits of "Chaotic Yin Yang" and "Devour."

The feeling of control, as easy as moving his own limbs, told him that this Sealing Skill had undergone a complete rebirth, reaching an unprecedented state!

’If my Primordial Qi and Divine Sense were strong enough, and if the Five Elements Cauldron was reforged and upgraded to an Ancient Treasure in the future...’

’...the inside of the cauldron would become my absolute domain!’

Although he didn’t rely on this technique, it was always good to have another powerful Bottom Card.

The Five Cauldrons Seal could directly suppress fifty percent of an enemy’s power—this alone made it superior to many Secret Skills.

Of course, that was only if it could successfully seal the target.

At the Five Elements Cauldron’s current speed, trying to seal a Bright Heart Realm expert was likely as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

Just now, even Mo Yunzi, an Acupoint Realm expert, had almost escaped before the Five Cauldrons descended...

Against a Bright Heart Realm opponent, he could still only use the Five Elements Cauldron as a barrier to hide the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, just as before.

...

On the Martial Arts Arena, the air currents churned violently, as if an invisible hand was stirring the winds and clouds.

Chu Fan stood silently to one side, his posture as straight and tall as a pine tree.

His expression was calm, but his eyes were as deep as a sea of stars. His right hand was slightly raised, his five fingers spread in a profound arc, his palm facing the massive object hovering before him—the Five Elements Cauldron.

Across the cauldron’s body, streams of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth light flowed in succession.

As the runes circulated, they emanated a terrifying aura capable of suppressing mountains and rivers.

But within the sealed space created by the Five Elements Cauldron, a completely different, heart-pounding scene was taking place.
