X-Dragon Era

After introducing Po Kong and the members of the Po Kong Sword, Xin Yun waved his right hand, and four Treasure Swords shot out with a whizzing sound, appearing before Po Kong with their hilts facing upwards, ethereally hovering in the air.

"Hmm?" Gazing at the four Treasure Swords before him, Po Kong was momentarily astonished, lost in confusion, when Xin Yun said with a smile, "Since you are already one of the Five Directions Heavenly Emperors, these four Bane of Immortals Swords shall be entrusted to you to oversee. I hope you live up to the reputation of these swords!"

With trembling hands, Po Kong received the four swords. Although Xin Yun had previously given him a Treasure Sword that was completely identical in shape, when compared to the current four swords, the previous one was too feeble, not of the same class at all and beyond comparison.

Watching Po Kong's excited expression, Xin Yun nodded with a smile. Although he had given away the authentic Zhu Xian Four Swords, in fact, as long as he controlled the Sky-opening Axe's five Axe Souls, he could at any moment transform any replica into an authentic version, one with even more formidable power than the original!

There could be many replicas, but when it came to the real authentic versions, they were always within Xin Yun's control. Only those imbued with the Sky-opening Axe Soul were the genuine articles; without it, even holding the original would not enable one to unleash its true power.

With a slight movement in his heart, Xin Yun once again reached out, and in an instant... a bronze-colored, square cauldron appeared before him. With a wave of his right hand, the Four-legged Square Cauldron instantly flew to Luo Fu's presence.

Smiling at a stunned Luo Fu, Xin Yun continued, "This is the Chaos Cauldron, one of the Sky-opening Sect's five Divine Artifacts. Since you too are one of the Five Directions Heavenly Emperors, I entrust you with the management of this Chaos Cauldron."

"This..." Hesitantly eyeing the small cauldron before him, Luo Fu couldn't begin to guess its purpose. Generally speaking, cauldrons are for cooking meals; could it be... Xin Yun wanted him to join the Fire Head Army?

Seeing Luo Fu's puzzled look, Xin Yun quickly guessed his thoughts, shook his head with a smile, and explained, "Rest assured, it's not for cooking. This Chaos Cauldron is a powerful magical treasure, whose might is absolutely no less than those of the other four Heavenly Emperors' treasures."

At this point, Xin Yun paused briefly, then continued, "The uses of this Chaos Cauldron are plentiful; it can directly draw enemies into it and incinerate them with Chaos Flame, or it can be used defensively, forming a huge black hole that completely devours all enemy attacks."

"Wow!" Hearing Xin Yun's words, Luo Fu exclaimed excitedly. This was too extravagant, serving both offense and defense. However, overall, it seemed not quite as formidable as the other four Heavenly Emperors' treasures. Take the Chaos Bell, for example, which could be used for focused impact attacks or wide-range sonic assaults when attacking, and when defending, just cloaking oneself with the bell provided invulnerability; just in terms of strength, it was insanely robust, beyond what ordinary folks could imagine.

Then there's the twelve All-Heaven Netherworld Banners. Once the All-Heaven Divine and Evil Formation was deployed, it could even materialize Pangu's True Form, with unimaginable power. In fact... even without manifesting Pangu's True Form, just summoning the twelve Pangu avatars, that is, the Twelve Ancestral Witches, would already be defying the heavens.

Watching Luo Fu's mixture of amazement and doubt, Xin Yun shook his head and continued, "This Chaos Cauldron is not so much for attack and defense, but rather for assistance. Its greatest function is that it can refine a large quantity of treasures, and through the Chaos Cauldron, one can reflect these treasures back to their innate state, turning them into Innate Spiritual Treasures!"

Hearing Xin Yun's words, it was not only Luo Fu who was shocked, but everyone inside the grand hall. This was too exaggerated. If it were really as he said, wouldn't it mean that everyone could possess a body covered with Innate Spiritual Treasures!

Seeing the astonished looks of the crowd, Xin Yun continued, "Of course, creating Innate Spiritual Treasures is extremely difficult. Firstly, there's the issue of materials. Without suitable materials, even if one reflects the Innate, it's just a useless treasure with no power at all. Such Innate Spiritual Treasures are no different from trash!"

To refine a powerful Innate Spiritual Treasure, one must first create a powerful Acquired Spiritual Treasure and then reflect the Innate upon this foundation to give birth to a low-grade, slightly useful Innate Spiritual Treasure. Similarly, only through an Acquired Supreme Treasure can one forge and reflect a formidable Innate Spiritual Treasure!

But how many materials are needed for a formidable Acquired Supreme Treasure? Take the Sky-Overturning Seal, for example. It was made using more than half of Mount Buzhou. Therefore... although Innate Spiritual Treasures are available to all, to obtain a powerful one requires immense luck! This is still true, even with the Chaos Cauldron. Imagine, if Mount Buzhou hadn't collapsed, even the Primordial Heavenly Venerable wouldn't have been able to refine the Sky-Overturning Seal.

Although Xin Yun spoke pessimistically, Luo Fu's eyes still shone with excitement. Above the diamond rank, one can start to transform their Dragon Body totem. Diamond One Star is not yet achieved, and the realm has just stabilized, so many things cannot be done yet. From Diamond Two Stars, one can begin totnemizing the energy of the dragon.

The so-called totemization means affixing the dragon's energy onto the body in the form of a totem. Relying on the dragon's totem, one operates the energy within the Dragon Ball to execute a series of defenses and attacks! In such a state, although it is impossible to unleash the full power of a dragon, the combat ability is greatly enhanced.

In totem form, the human body can utilize up to ten percent of the Dragon Body's energy. In this state, one appears in human form, which is smaller, more nimble, and the intensity of both attack and defense is by no means inferior to the Dragon Body. If a real battle were to take place, the totem form is absolutely more formidable than the dragon's form!

The biggest difference between totem form and the dragon's form is the amount of energy one can mobilize. In dragon form, one can easily channel large amounts of energy to release wide-reaching attacks, while in human form, though capable of unleashing wide-reaching attacks, the area of effect is much smaller, being ten times less!

If we compare the dragon's form to artillery shells, then the totem's form is like bullets. The difference between bullets and shells is the same as the difference between dragon form and human form in terms of attack range and the total attack energy and destructive power, which is tenfold!

Of course, the bullet mentioned here is not an airgun pellet or regular handgun bullet, but an armor-piercing bullet fired from a sniper rifle, whose power is at the extreme limit. In terms of power alone, it is definitely not inferior to the dragon's form. After all... no matter which form one is in, the same kind of energy is utilized. The only difference is the amount of energy one can gather.
