The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Chapter 2298 Dark Cloud Collapse

When Wu Kun was full of doubts, the calamity clouds in the sky began to shrink again.

The speed of contraction this time was no different from the initial one, swift and violent, as if some power between heaven and earth was invisibly controlling everything.

Wu Kun raised his head and gazed, his eyes penetrating through the thick layers of clouds. He could vaguely see a golden light flickering inside the sky cloud. The light was as bright as stars, but it also carried a heart-pounding pressure.

As the sky calamity cloud continued to shrink, the atmosphere between heaven and earth became increasingly oppressive.

Wu Kun could clearly feel that an indescribable power was brewing inside the sky calamity cloud, as if a sleeping giant beast was slowly waking up.

Every time the sky calamity cloud shrinks, it is accompanied by a low thunder. The sound seems to come from the sky above, and seems to surge out from deep underground, shaking people's minds.

The thunder became more and more frequent and louder, as if the heaven and earth were roaring, or as if the gods were roaring.

Every time thunder roared, the ground would shake violently, as if the entire earth was trembling with this force.

Under the impact of this force, the ground beneath Wu Kun's feet cracked into bottomless cracks, as if the earth was also struggling in fear.

The stone chamber, which had already collapsed, suffered another devastating blow under this violent shaking.

The cracks on the stone wall spread rapidly, and stones fell one after another, making a deafening roar.

Wu Kun's gaze never left the calamity clouds in the sky, and he had a vague feeling in his heart that the final outcome of this calamity would soon be revealed.

Time passed by minute by minute. Although the sky calamity cloud was shrinking at an extremely fast speed, the whole process seemed to be stretched out, and every moment seemed extremely long.

Fine beads of sweat oozed out of Wu Kun's forehead, and his heartbeat accelerated with the rhythm of the thunder, as if it would jump out of his chest at any time.

He knew that this heavenly tribulation had entered its final stage, and that the heavenly tribulation cloud wrapped in golden light was the core of this heavenly tribulation.

Finally, after a long wait of an hour, the calamity clouds in the sky had shrunk to only a few feet in radius.

At this moment, the sky calamity cloud has been completely enveloped by golden light. From a distance, it looks like a golden ball of light suspended in the air.

The ball of light emitted dazzling light, like a small sun, illuminating the entire world.

Wu Kun held his breath and stared at the golden ball of light.

He could feel that the power contained within the ball of light had reached an extremely terrifying level, as if it would explode at any time.

That power made him feel extremely oppressive, and even gave him the urge to kneel down and worship.

At this moment, the golden ball of light suddenly trembled slightly, and then a dazzling golden light burst out from the ball of light and rushed straight into the sky.

The golden light was like a giant golden dragon, roaring up to the sky, as if it was going to tear the entire sky apart.

Wu Kun was shocked by this force and retreated repeatedly. Under the impact of this force, the ground under his feet cracked into several huge cracks again.

As the golden light shot up into the sky, a low roar was heard from inside the sky cloud. The sound seemed to come from ancient times, carrying a sense of vicissitudes and majesty.

Wu Kun could feel that the power was rapidly gathering, as if it would explode completely in the next moment.

Sure enough, at the moment when the golden light shot up into the sky, the golden light ball trembled violently, and then a huge golden light column gushed out from the light ball and hit the ground directly.

The beam of light was like a sword of heavenly punishment, carrying the power to destroy everything, and instantly hit the ground not far in front of Wu Kun.

"boom--"

A deafening roar was heard, and the whole earth began to tremble violently at this moment.

Wu Kun was knocked backwards by the violent force, his body drawing an arc in the air like a kite with a broken string, and then fell heavily to the ground.

His back hit the ground violently with a dull sound, dust flew up, and the ground around him shook.

Wu Kun felt as if all his internal organs were displaced by the shock, his throat felt sweet, and a mouthful of blood almost gushed out.

Even his soul body was seriously injured.

He gritted his teeth, endured the severe pain, and barely propped up his upper body, looking up and forward.

I saw that a huge deep pit had appeared where the golden light beam hit. The edge of the deep pit seemed to be torn by the claws of a giant beast. Spider-web-like cracks appeared on the ground and spread in all directions.

In the deep pit, smoke was curling, gravel was scattered, and there was a burning smell in the air, as if even the earth was shaking with this power.

Wu Kun stared at the deep pit, his heart filled with shock.

This power was by no means ordinary, it even exceeded his understanding of heavenly tribulation.

However, just as he was filled with doubt, a clear and loud sword sound suddenly rang out, breaking the silence between heaven and earth.

The sound of the sword was like the roar of a dragon in the sky, or the roar of a whale in the deep sea, with unparalleled majesty and sharpness, soaring straight into the sky.

Wu Kun's eardrums were buzzing due to the sound, and his mind was shaken as well.

As the sound of the sword rang out, the golden ball of light in the sky trembled violently, and then shattered into countless tiny golden light spots.

These spots of light flickered in the sky like stars, but did not dissipate immediately. Instead, they seemed to be pulled by some mysterious force and quickly gathered towards the center of the collapse.

Wu Kun followed these light spots closely, and saw that in the center of the collapse, a small purple light ball was quietly floating, emitting a faint purple light, like a mysterious star, waiting to be awakened.

In a very short period of time, all the golden light spots, like rivers flowing into the sea, converged into the purple light ball.

After absorbing these golden light spots, the purple light ball suddenly surged in brightness. The purple and golden lights intertwined together to form a dazzling beam of light that shot straight into the sky.

Wu Kun squinted his eyes because of the blinding light, but he had a vague feeling in his heart that some incredible changes were taking place.

At this moment, a long purple box suddenly appeared out of thin air below the purple light ball.

The box was a deep purple in color, and its surface was engraved with complex and ancient runes. There was a faint flicker of light between the runes, as if it contained some kind of mysterious power.

The moment the box appeared, the purple ball of light flew into the box quickly as if it had been summoned.

The moment the box closed, the whole world seemed to be silent.

However, this silence did not last long.

The long purple box began to vibrate violently, and the runes on the surface of the box lit up, emitting a dazzling light.

Wu Kun could feel that there was a powerful force brewing inside the box, as if it would break out at any time.

However, strangely, the dark clouds in the sky had completely dissipated, revealing a clear blue sky with the sun shining down, as if everything had returned to calm.

However, Wu Kun never saw Matthew. He felt a little uneasy, but he couldn't tell where this uneasiness came from.
