CHAPTER 423 THROWN INTO THE PURGATORIAL TRIPOD (PART ONE)

The moment they saw that Cain was trembling in fury with his brows creased in a tight furrow, an

intense sense of intimidation crept upon each one of them, resulting from the frightening aura. The

outrage of Cain's vexation heightened, especially now that he was furious. Darren and the rest of the

warriors were all pale in the face. It was as if they were about to be crushed to pieces under such

horrifying aura.

Cain's show of power right now was the showcase of the real strength of a five-star grand demonic

monster. Even Finley was severely injured when he faced a five-star grand warrior before. Right now,

faced with the same situation, how could they resist an attack from Cain?

Cain transformed back into his true form—a huge Invisible Panther. He roared out loud in the sky,

making the air around him shake violently and sent horrors of fear and chills of coercion to the four of

them.

"Roar!"

With this frightening and reverberating growl, the Purgatorial Tripod in his hand floated in the air and

started to spin non-stop.

With the spinning of the tripod, a gloomy and dark aura with a putrid smell immediately dispersed

throughout the place.

As the Purgatorial Tripod kept on spinning, the countless dead bodies on the ground and their blood

started to fly towards the tripod. It was as if the tripod was siphoning and gathering them all, sucking all

that was left of the blood and severed body parts. The process painted the sky red and masked the air

with a pungent smell of blood and pure evil.

"The moment I successfully refine this purgatorial divine body, I will kill all of you, humans!"

By that time, Cain finally revealed his true colors and showed them what he really wanted to do. All this Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

time, he was planning to use the Purgatorial Tripod to refine the bodies and the blood. When all of

these would be done according to his pleasure, he would have a divine body and would carry out his

plan, which was to kill whomever he wanted.

"Get in there!"

With a bellowing command, Cain reached his claw out and directly grabbed the four of them in one

hand. Then, with one swift swing, he threw them inside the Purgatorial Tripod.

With the addition of the human's soul inside, the divine body that Cain was refining would be even

stronger. It was a shame that the human's soul's effect was limited, or Cain would have sent the

demonic monsters to get more people for him.

The moment Darren and the other three were thrown in the Purgatorial Tripod, they started falling

deeper and deeper inside the tripod. Soon enough, dead bodies surrounded them and soaked them in

blood, making everything even more frightening.

After a short while, bodies, blood, and the four men, including Darren, were all absorbed by the

Purgatorial Tripod. Seeing this, and the fact that his work was near completion, Cain roared excitedly.

Then, as his eyes glittered and widened with excitement, he jumped into the tripod himself.

"Damn it!"

Right at the same time, a black crack appeared in the air out of nowhere. Soon, as the mist cleared out,

a god-like figure showed up.

Shocked at what was laid before his very eyes, he stared at the Purgatorial Tripod intensely with angry

eyes.

"Abelard!"

With that loud shout, another powerful figured appeared. It was another warrior; he was an older man

but in simpler clothes.

As they stared at each other's face, the two men's eyes met, but they just kept their silence, not saying

a word to each other. With the cue, both of them rushed towards the Purgatorial Tripod at the same

time.

Bang!

A loud crashing impact was heard as the two influential martial artists slapped on the Purgatorial Tripod

together. The noise was so colossal that one would even think that the Purgatorial Tripod had burst out

damaged. Yet to their dismay, the tripod was still intact, rigid, and not a hairline crack could be seen.

"Damn it! It's already activated! We can't destroy it anymore!"

The moment the two warriors laid their eyes on the tripod, horror filled their hearts as they knew what

the tripod was and the disaster it could bring. Both of them knew that the Purgatorial Tripod was like a

small space, once activated and put into use, it would be totally untouchable and couldn't be destroyed.

Yet the older man didn't give all his hopes up, and he hesitated only for a short second before reaching

one of his hands out to the tripod. To the younger warrior's bewilderment, the older man's arm

stretched longer and longer until it reached inside the Purgatorial Tripod at a breakneck speed.

"Ahhhhh!"

After a while, a roar filled with indignation echoed inside the Purgatorial Tripod.

"Come out! You filthy bastard!"

The older man dragged something from inside the tripod, and an enormous dark green figure was

heaved out by him.

"Fuck! You son of a bitch! Ahhh!"

It was Cain who was dragged out of the tripod. He was furious that his plan was interrupted again this

time. But the older man just ignored him for now. He reached his hand out back toward the tripod,

intending to get his disciple out too.

But unfortunately, this time, when he put his hand inside the Purgatorial Tripod, strange runes flashed

out of the tripod, and the runes attacked the older man's arm with lightning. After only a short while, his

arm was broken into pieces, skin burned, and bones withered and pulverized.

Pain flashed through the older man's eyes, but he quickly tamed and managed to hide it. Gathering up

his strength, he focused his attention on his arm, and only after a short minute, his arm grew out again.

Though he had regained his arm, he couldn't hide his disappointment at all.

"Let me have a try," the other influential martial artist said. He volunteered himself, sensing that the

older man needed some time to regain his strength. Meanwhile, he used a pale gold force to form a big

net, aiming at the Purgatorial Tripod.

Yet, by now, the tripod had absorbed so many dead bodies and much blood. It was as if it had formed a

mind of its own. The Purgatorial Tripod wouldn't let anything near it. The pale gold net quickly broke

and disappeared into thin air after it was thrown out.

"It seems that I can't fulfill the Shaoyan Clan's task anymore," the man mumbled to himself, a stern look

on his face. He couldn't believe that his plan didn't work for the Purgatorial Tripod. That was what he

could think as the best approach, yet it failed. Such an embarrassment for him.

The two compelling martial artists were both dismayed as they weren't able to save the ones they

wanted to keep. Thus, with that thought in mind, they turned their angry eyes at Cain, who had been

silently fumbling aside.
