Chapter 858: Terrifying Sword Shadow
"what is that!"

Suddenly, he looked up and saw a flash of red out of the corner of his eye.

When he looked carefully, he saw that in the distance ahead, among the bubbling evil spirit, a corner of red light flashed occasionally.

Swish!
He didn't bother to take a closer look at the endless discarded magic weapons and broken divine weapons around him, and simply turned into a rainbow light and flew over.

In the blink of an eye he was near the flashing red light.

"This is!"

The scene in front of him made him open his eyes wide. This was the source of the chilly river. A huge cave appeared, and a river emitting endless chill flowed out from the inside of the cave. At the same time, an extremely dense evil spirit emerged from the cave, and occasionally there were flashes of red light. No one knew what was inside the cave.

"Is this the source of the evil spirit? Why is it different from what the tiger-shaped demon remembered?"

In the memory of the tiger-shaped demon, the source of the evil spirit was the river at the bottom of the canyon, but what Zhang Qian saw now was different. The source was clearly this cave.

He picked up a magic sword without a tip on the ground and threw it hard. The magic sword broke through the air and flew into the cave.

Dang...!
After a long time, loud noises came from the depths of the cave, mixed with echoes.

“It’s pretty deep.”

Zhang Qian narrowed his eyes and stepped into the cave.

With four layers of defense, he is fearless.

However, to his surprise, as soon as he entered the cave, he was hit by an extremely scorching heat wave. The heat wave floated in the upper part of the cave, while the lower part was the river emitting endless coldness.

Under the combination of ice and fire, Zhang Qian felt extremely uncomfortable, and the heat wave and coldness completely ignored his quadruple defense. He felt that half of his blood and energy was about to be frozen, and the other half was about to be boiled.

He hurriedly practiced the Heavenly Dao Jade Body Technique, and only then did he feel better. He looked into the depths of the cave, and there was nothing else there. In the midst of an extremely dense and dark aura of evil, there was a fiery red spot of light, like some kind of divine flame swaying.

He quickened his pace with an idea in his mind. About an hour later, the surroundings suddenly became open and a huge underground space appeared before his eyes. This underground space was boundless, like a small world.

Endless ruined palaces appeared here.

It can be said to be a palace, but it does not quite look like one. It does not have the magnificence and grandeur of a palace at all. Every building is extremely tall and is built entirely with huge green stones.

This architectural style is very different from the present one, full of the ruggedness of ancient times and the distant breath of time.

There were dense marks of hacking on the mottled green boulders. Most of the thousands of buildings were incomplete, with only a few remaining intact.

The entire building complex and the entire underground space were lifeless, filled with deathly silence.

The river becomes extremely narrow here, only about ten feet wide, and the river weaves back and forth among the complex buildings, making many detours.

Zhang Qian even saw that the river passed through many buildings.

"I understand now. This should be a treasure refining site from the ancient times!"

At this time, he realized that these complex buildings were clearly a vast place for refining treasures, and the endlessly cold river was the sacred spring for tempering magic weapons.

In the middle of the complex building complex, there is a magnificent stone hall, which is the most majestic and tall. The hall is square with its doors wide open, and the fiery red light is in this hall.

And the endless cold river spring originates from this palace.

Swish!
Zhang Qian flew up and flew straight to the hall. When he flew close to the hall, he looked closely and saw that the vast hall was empty, with only a fiery red object floating in the air.

The fiery red object was actually a huge red cauldron.

The big cauldron was about ten feet in diameter and was still rotating slowly. Extremely hot heat waves gushed out of the cauldron. At the same time, a steady stream of dark evil spirit came out of the cauldron's mouth. This cauldron was the real source of the strange evil spirit.

Below the suspended cauldron, there is a dark blue spring, from which gurgles endless cold water.

The fiery red cauldron would draw some spring water from time to time, causing mist to rise from the cauldron.

"Why does this big tripod give me a familiar feeling?"

Zhang Qian stepped into the hall and stared at the fiery red cauldron for a while. Suddenly he realized that he seemed to have seen this cauldron somewhere before.

Especially the ancient Taoist patterns carved on the body of the tripod looked extremely familiar to him.

"I remember now, the Great Xia Nine Cauldrons!"

A light bulb suddenly lit up in his head, and he finally remembered why he had this familiar feeling. The Great Xia Qian Ding in the hands of the Human King also had this kind of Taoist pattern.

"The Nine Cauldrons of Great Xia, could it be that this large cauldron is also one of the Nine Cauldrons of Great Xia?"

Zhang Qian's heart began to beat wildly. The Nine Cauldrons of Great Xia were priceless, and each of them had an extremely mysterious use. It was said that the combination of the nine cauldrons could open the remains of the Great Xia Dynasty. That was no longer a relic, but a legendary fairyland, the fairyland opened up by the Great Xia Immortal Emperor!

He rushed to the front of the huge tripod, looked at it carefully, and used his mind to sense it. Finally, he was sure that this must be one of the Nine Tripods of Daxia.

It was beyond Zhang Qian's expectation to see a Great Xia Tripod in such a secluded place. This was in the depths of the boundless wilderness, at the bottom of a large canyon. How could the Great Xia Tripod appear here?

Moreover, combined with the extremely ancient buildings around, he suddenly thought that this might be a treasure refining site belonging to the Great Xia Dynasty. Only the Great Xia Dynasty had the foundation to build such a magnificent treasure refining site. The endless abandoned magic weapons and broken magic weapons on both sides of the river outside all showed that this place must have been very lively in the past. It was a holy place for refining weapons, and this Great Xia Treasure Cauldron was the holy weapon for refining weapons here.

Withstanding the four layers of defense, Zhang Qian ignored the terrible heat wave and reached out to touch the Great Xia Cauldron in front of him.

hum!
The precious tripod suddenly made a humming sound, and the next moment, a sudden change occurred!

Boom!

A terrible explosion sounded, and a ray of light suddenly burst out from the chaotic interior of the cauldron. The light rushed up about ten feet and gently transformed into an almost invisible sword. The sword was extremely illusory, and with a slight stab, it annihilated the void and pierced Zhang Qian's forehead.

Before the magic sword came close, Zhang Qian felt a sharp pain between his eyebrows, and the true spirit in his Niwan Palace even began to tremble, and an instinctive fear emerged!

"not good!"

His face changed, but he did not panic. In a flash, his mind moved and the power of the four-layer defense was fully activated.

Click, click, click!
However, what shocked him was that the almost invisible sword pierced through the Chaos Bell effortlessly, and the Chaos Bell's mysterious rebound power was not exerted at all. Then the phantom of the primitive world that emerged from the map of mountains, rivers, and the country was also pierced through.

Bang bang bang...!
The next moment, nine explosions were heard in succession, and the nine layers of light of the Nine-Nine Heavenly Luo Canopy were all pierced by the magic sword.

Boom!
All the Xuanhuang Qi scattered by the Xuanhuang Pagoda gathered together and turned into a Xuanhuang Divine Ball, blocking Zhang Qian's brows. The divine sword pierced the Xuanhuang Divine Ball fiercely and pierced through half of it before it stopped reluctantly!

"That was a close call. What on earth was that thing? It almost penetrated my four layers of defense and killed me!"

There was a look of horror in Zhang Qian's eyes.
