The greatest power of the Divine Maiden's Cauldron, if unleashed on Earth, would be akin to an atomic bomb explosion, causing devastating damage. It would inevitably harm the innocent, including the Ancestral Tree Elder Demon, a large number of Divine Beasts, contest participants, and criminals.

Only about a thousand people participated in the Realm Capital elimination contest. After half a month of competition, some have died, and just now, some more were blasted to death by the Divine Maiden's Cauldron. Among those killed were some with powerful cultivation bases and outstanding competition results. Now, only about three hundred people remain, and these were naturally shaken by the destructive explosion and attracted towards it. Some daring individuals flew over.

The explosion wave finally subsided, and the thick smoke dispersed, revealing a tragic scene. The mountain range within a thousand miles was leveled to the ground, littered with stones, tree debris, the dead, and the remnants of beasts...

At the center of the explosion on the ground was a cauldron-shaped object, the culprit of this disaster—the Divine Maiden's Cauldron.

Inside the space of the Divine Maiden's Cauldron.

Wang Xiaoqiang lay in the space of the cauldron, gasping for breath, like a stranded fish. The battle just now had already exhausted him, and the power of the Divine Maiden's Cauldron further struck terror into his heart, keeping his nerves tense. Now, as he relaxed, he felt utterly spent, both physically and mentally.

If the Goddess hadn't pulled him into the cauldron's space before initiating the power of the Divine Maiden's Cauldron, even with his Undying Golden Body - Great Completion Realm, he would likely be a pile of bones now. The thought of the cauldron's power filled him with dread.

The Goddess sat cross-legged, eyes closed in Breathing Technique, her face a bit pale. The maximum power of the Divine Maiden's Cauldron had depleted half of her cultivation base, leaving her quite weak.

"Divine Sister, thank you for saving my life. I am willing to serve you as repayment in the future,"

Wang Xiaoqiang said while panting.

The Goddess did not reply, remaining seated in meditation.

"Divine Sister, I..."

Just as Wang Xiaoqiang was about to speak again, the Goddess interrupted with a cold shout, "Shut your filthy mouth, lie there and rest for a while, and then hurry up and get out..."

"Yes, yes, Divine Sister, I will comply with your instructions..." Wang Xiaoqiang said, then shut his mouth, closed his eyes, and obediently lay there to sleep.

The Spiritual Energy inside the cauldron's space was extremely rich, beneficial not only for cultivation but also for healing injuries and restoring Spiritual Power...

Wang Xiaoqiang had the Five Elements Spirit Spring to fast absorb and refine pills, never relying on Spiritual Energy for cultivation. The rich Spiritual Energy here didn't concern him, but the aroma inside the cauldron was intoxicating—a faint blend of floral scent and the fragrance of a woman's boudoir, making it quite pleasant. Soon, he fell asleep.

The Goddess, seeing Wang Xiaoqiang's weakness and fearing for his safety outside, did not immediately expel him. She, too, needed to regulate her Vital Energy without disturbance, hence allowing Wang Xiaoqiang to rest inside the cauldron.

Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang sleeping soundly, the Goddess relaxed her mind and began to circulate her mental method, regulating and restoring her Vital Energy.

...

Quickly, two contest participants flew in from the east and west directions, noticing the Divine Maiden's Cauldron from high above, and immediately descended,

One participant, a centenarian at the Great Luo Golden Immortal Eight Liquid Realm, immediately recognized the Divine Maiden's Cauldron, and suddenly understood, exclaiming, "Oh, so it's the Divine Maiden's Cauldron. No wonder it can unleash such powerful force..."

Having said that, the old man extended his large hand towards the Divine Maiden's Cauldron, but before he could reach it, someone else coldly shouted, "Stop."

The old man looked up and saw a middle-aged man in his fifties, at the Great Luo Golden Immortal Eight Liquid Realm, equivalent to his own cultivation base. His hand paused slightly, and with a cold gaze, he asked, "What?"

"I was the one who discovered the Divine Maiden's Cauldron first..." the middle-aged man said forcefully, extending his hand. Suddenly, a red light flashed, and a red Immortal Sword appeared. Grasping the sword hilt, he stretched it forward, immediately lifting the Divine Maiden's Cauldron.

The centenarian would not agree to this and promptly reached out with his right hand to grab the cauldron.

"Courting death!" As the old man grabbed hold of the Divine Maiden's Cauldron, the middle-aged man shouted coldly. The red Sword Immortal flicked, instantly drawing blood as the old man's right hand was cut by the Immortal Sword.

At the same time, the Divine Maiden's Cauldron was lifted. The middle-aged cultivator leaped up, seizing the cauldron,

As he grasped it, a sinister look flashed across the old man's face. His left hand flung out, and a cold light flashed from his sleeve, as an Immortal Dagger shot out, piercing the side of the middle-aged cultivator's abdomen.

"Ah!" the middle-aged man exclaimed, clutching his abdominal wound and pulling out the Immortal Dagger, noticing a green fluid on it. At that moment, his complexion turned green, gradually transitioning from light to dark green...

This was a sign of poisoning, as the dagger had been coated with venom.

"Damn it!" He let go of the Divine Maiden's Cauldron, sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to circulate his energy to expel the poison.

The old man quickly caught the cauldron and smiled smugly at the middle-aged cultivator, saying, "Take your time to expel the poison, old man. I'll take my leave for now..."

As the old man was about to fly up into the sky, two other male cultivators flew in, both in their fifties and at the Great Luo Golden Immortal Seven Liquid Realm,

The two male cultivators immediately flew down upon seeing the seated middle-aged man, bowing and saying, "Greetings, Senior Brother..."

"Eh? Senior Brother, your face..."

They quickly noticed the middle-aged cultivator's anomaly and exclaimed in surprise.

"Kill this old man! Seize the Divine Maiden's Cauldron from him..." the middle-aged cultivator pointed at the old man and gritted his teeth.

The old man's face tensed as he was about to throw the Divine Maiden's Cauldron into ring space, but the two cultivators immediately lunged at him.

The old man had no choice but to flee with the cauldron. The two pursued, and a fierce battle ensued in the sky. Though the old man's cultivation base was one tier higher than the two, he was ultimately outnumbered and injured under their swords, fleeing wounded, with the two in close pursuit.

During the chase, they encountered a formidable expert at the Great Luo Golden Immortal Ninth Liquid Realm. Upon seeing the old man holding the Divine Maiden's Cauldron, the expert immediately charged to snatch it,

The old man, already wounded, was no match for the Ninth Liquid Realm expert and lost his right hand to a swift slash, causing the cauldron and the severed hand to fall.

The Ninth Liquid Realm expert reached out to grab the cauldron, then sliced off the old man's severed hand with his sword, laughing heartily, "Haha, who would have thought Fengh Biao would come upon the Divine Maiden's Cauldron, such fortune..."

The old man, injured and armless, fled in disgrace. The two cultivators, inferior to Fengh Biao by two great realms, dared not contest him and retreated with their heads down.

Curious, Fengh Biao did not put away the Divine Maiden's Cauldron but played with it in his hand. He had heard of this Immortal Artifact and knew it contained an Artifact Spirit. To activate its power, one must connect with the Artifact Spirit.

He also knew the Artifact Spirit was the Goddess. After a while, he grinned lewdly and called to the cauldron, "Goddess, Goddess, can you hear me?"(To be continued.
