Chapter 1201: Chapter 1200: The Heavenly Stele Suppresses the Divine Cauldron, Crab King Wrecks the Scene

Ye Chen stood beside the remnants of the great cauldron that suppressed the ages.

A terrifying devouring force continuously surged from the mouth of the cauldron.

Fortunately, after he operated the Celestial Stele Breathing Technique to the extreme, he could perfectly isolate the devouring force.

After all, they were both objects that suppressed the ages.

The World-Suppressing Celestial Stele suppresses the current epoch, which is undoubtedly stronger than things that suppressed past epochs!

On the surface of the broken great cauldron, numerous patterns of rocks, fish, and birds could be vaguely seen.

These patterns emanated a mysterious aura filled with the vicissitudes of time.

Ye Chen’s hand slowly reached out, resting on the surface of the cauldron.

His palm touched a bird.

That bird seemed to come to life instantly, suddenly flapping its wings and pouncing towards Ye Chen.

This speed was unbelievably fast.

Even though Ye Chen’s reactions were astonishing, he didn’t have time to dodge.

"Ah!"

A loud shout burst from Ye Chen’s mouth.

He felt as if his flesh was being torn apart by that little bird!

However.

After the intense pain, the bird vanished, and Ye Chen realized it was merely a false alarm.

That scene just now was an illusion.

But it was so realistic that even the Martial Arts Divine Eye couldn’t detect a single hint.

Ye Chen was drenched in cold sweat, and his power suddenly erupted, with his apertures blooming limitless divine light, dazzling and magnificent.

He planned to use the Celestial Stele Breathing Technique to forcibly suppress this great cauldron!

But.

The moment the power of the Celestial Stele Breathing Technique landed on the cauldron.

"Buzz!"

The cauldron vibrated violently, directly dispersing the power of Ye Chen’s Celestial Stele Breathing Technique.

"Roar!"

A ferocious beast with a highly blurry form on the cauldron’s surface emitted a thunderous roar.

Although it was merely a palm-sized pattern.

In Ye Chen’s perception, the beast’s form was incredibly massive, its marauding bloodthirsty ferocity terrifyingly frightening.

"Boom!"

The mountain patterns also seemed like towering mountains reaching the heavens, seemingly about to rise from the ground.

"Splash!"

The river patterns immediately became tumultuous and wave-swept.

The power within the cauldron seemed angry, resisting the erosion from the current epoch’s World-Suppressing Celestial Stele’s power!

Ye Chen pondered, his mind stirring.

A fragment of the World-Suppressing Celestial Stele floated out from his body.

This fragment was obtained on Divine Mirror Island, from which Ye Chen comprehended the part about unlocking the divine force of the apertures.

Originally.

The complete World-Suppressing Celestial Stele, along with this broken fragment, had merged into Ye Chen’s body, leaving him unable to sense them.

But now, stimulated by the cauldron’s aura, the World-Suppressing Celestial Stele embedded in his body revealed traces of its aura.

Thus, Ye Chen could control the broken stele to leave his body.

He planned to use the World-Suppressing Celestial Stele to directly suppress the cauldron.

Taking out the broken stele temporarily had no impact.

But Ye Chen wouldn’t easily remove the complete World-Suppressing Celestial Stele; he intuitively felt it had special significance.

Since understanding Yi Xiaoyao’s methods.

Ye Chen realized that anything handled by Yi Xiaoyao is definitely not simple.

There were quite a few World-Suppressing Celestial Steles, yet Yi Xiaoyao uniquely carried that particular stele with him; there must be a special reason.

As the fragment of the World-Suppressing Celestial Stele floated out of Ye Chen’s body.

The resistance of the cauldron became increasingly violent.

Ye Chen used the power of the Celestial Stele Breathing Technique to control the stele fragment, forcing it towards the cauldron’s mouth.

Intangible powers collided.

This was a clash between treasures of two epochs.

The speed at which the stele fragment descended into the cauldron was exceedingly slow.

But in any case, the stele fragment ultimately had the upper hand!

After several hours had passed.

"Boom!"

The stele fragment finally settled at the bottom of the cauldron.

The cauldron shuddered abruptly.

All the devouring force dissipated accordingly.

And the patterns on the cauldron’s surface grew still and silent.

Ye Chen attempted to take the cauldron away.

However.

His power couldn’t even budge it at all.

After trying various methods, Ye Chen could only let it be.

For now, this devouring force has been controlled and won’t pose an issue short-term, resolving the crisis of the entire Sea Beast race.

Ye Chen’s mind stirred.

The Ancient Heaven-Devouring Kun, Elder Gui, and the Four Seas Beast Kings responded to his call and rushed over.

When they saw that cauldron, each one was incredibly shocked.

The thing that had troubled the entire Sea Beast race for countless ages was actually this?

Elder Gui pondered for a moment and then said, "If I’m not mistaken, this should be the legendary Devouring Divine Cauldron; it’s said that within the Devouring Divine Cauldron, there’s an imprint of the supreme Dao that can devour all things within the heavens!"

Ye Chen’s eyes flashed, and he immediately asked, "The Heaven-Burying Coffin has the Heaven-Swallowing Technique, which seems to have a similar nature to the power of this Devouring Divine Cauldron."

Elder Gui nodded and said, "The Heaven-Swallowing Technique of the Heaven-Burying Coffin is derived from the supreme Dao imprint within the Devouring Divine Cauldron."

Ye Chen: "Brother Gui, how do you know these things?"

Elder Gui: "Living long naturally means knowing more."

Ye Chen: "..."

Almost forgot.

Elder Gui is a giant turtle.

He has lived for far longer than the Ancient Heaven-Devouring Kun.

A thousand-year-old turtle, and ten-thousand-year-old tortoise; what’s more, it’s a demigod old turtle beyond the Emperor Realm!

Ye Chen: "Everyone, this Devouring Divine Cauldron has been temporarily suppressed by me; there won’t be any more problems in the short term, and the Sea Beast race can develop and thrive peacefully here."

The Ancient Heaven-Devouring Kun nodded and said, "Previously, due to being troubled by this object, the strength of the Sea Beast race hadn’t increased over countless ages, and even declined somewhat.

Now that the hidden danger is gone.

The foundation accumulated by the Sea Beast race will experience a leap forward and explode.

Within a year.

I’m sure there will be at least a batch of god-level beings emerging!"

"Indeed, we need more god-level beings; the Great Emperor realm now seems insufficient, without reaching god-level, one doesn’t even qualify as cannon fodder!"

Snake King voiced.

The next moment.

The scales on Snake King’s body burst with incomparably radiant light, birthing the aura of a god-level being.

Breaking through on the spot, condensing a divine core!

Ye Chen’s face revealed a hint of joy and said, "Snake King, if you need, I can help you transform into a dragon body!"

He bears the breath of a true dragon and possesses the Dragon Race’s heritage; given Snake King’s current strength, transforming into a dragon is actually quite simple.

"Thank you, Sea King, but it’s not necessary, while the bodies of snakes and pythons indeed aim to transform into dragons, but... I think I’m fine the way I am!"

Snake King rejected Ye Chen’s goodwill.

Shark King immediately explained, "Sea King, Snake King could have transformed into a dragon purely by virtue of his own strength long ago, but he’s been reluctant because... Snake King’s parent was once killed within the poisonous claws of an evil dragon, he vowed never to transform into a dragon, but to kill the evil dragon with his Black Water Profound Snake body for revenge!"

Ye Chen understood.

So that was the deeper reason.

"No worries, having a vision is good; there’s no need to explain these things to me, I’m a person with open-mindedness, tolerance, and broad vision, I wouldn’t be upset just because Snake King refused my help."

Crab King swung its large claws and said, "Sea King, we were genuinely concerned, after all, we all know you’re petty."

Ye Chen: "..."

Shark King and Shell King chose to remain silent.

The Ancient Heaven-Devouring Kun and Elder Gui lightly coughed.

Crab King looked at Elder Gui and said, "Turtle Immortal, you were the one who told us Sea King was petty."

Elder Gui wished he could slam his turtle shell on Crab King and smash Crab King’s large claws with his cane!
