Dragon King Hall's Legend

The pyramid before Mu Jinyu wasn't large, standing just over three meters tall.

It somewhat resembled a large golden tent.

Interestingly, every thirty seconds or so, it would transform from a brilliant golden hue to a deep black.

At that moment, the force suppressing divine sense perception would diminish to its lowest point.

Then it would emit a chilling aura, causing severe discomfort.

"Is this going to be dangerous?!"

Mu Jinyu asked Yin Li.

"Not sure, I've never seen something like this before."

Yin Li replied in a low voice.

Pausing, she added, "However, I feel like it might not be too dangerous? At least it doesn't make me feel uncomfortable..."

"Hmm." Mu Jinyu nodded slightly and said softly, "The pyramid undergoes two transformations. Which transformation do you think we should attempt to take it in?"

Yin Li replied, "The golden state seems to target the soul, while the black state targets the physical body. Choose based on where your advantage lies."

"Then let's choose the black state."

Mu Jinyu nodded slightly.

Compared to the soul, his physical body, having cultivated the "Dragon Elephant Prison Suppression Scripture," was clearly beyond the normal standard, giving him an edge.

Then, as the pyramid turned golden, Mu Jinyu stepped towards it. Although the pyramid heavily suppressed external divine sense, as long as he acted like an ordinary person, he wouldn't suffer harm.

Soon, Mu Jinyu reached the pyramid and waited a moment until it completely changed from gold to black.

"Buzz!!"

Suddenly, an intensely cold aura burst forth from the black pyramid.

This aura was as strong as the Extremely Cold Hell of the Kunlun Ruins.

"Heh!!"

With a loud shout, Mu Jinyu seized the moment when he could project his divine sense, swiftly removing the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron from his dantian, expanding it mid-air, then directed it to cover the pyramid below.

"Clang!"

The Dragon Phoenix Cauldron successfully captured the pyramid, and Mu Jinyu soon shrunk it, cradling it in his palm.

"Was it this easy to succeed? Is this thing really unowned?!"

Mu Jinyu was taken aback by how effortlessly he had subdued the pyramid.

He believed the object to be quite extraordinary, possibly a special magic treasure. Even if it wasn't placed here by the founder of Paradise Lost, it would at least be the president's.

He anticipated resistance and a potential backlash from the pyramid, possibly a fierce battle.

After all, the suppression of the soul and the cold aura seemed anything but simple.

Unexpectedly, it was subdued so effortlessly? Mu Jinyu was greatly surprised.

"Don't be so quick to put it away," Yin Li reminded at this moment.

"Hmm." Mu Jinyu nodded in agreement.

He realized things were likely not as simple as they appeared, and perhaps not yet concluded.

Currently, the pyramid inside the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron was black and wouldn't target the soul or divine sense.

But once it turned golden after thirty seconds, it would suppress all soul fluctuations nearby!

In that case, he clearly couldn't yet control the pyramid within the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron. If it lost control and he reabsorbed it along with the cauldron into his body, wouldn't it burst his stomach?

Patiently waiting, Mu Jinyu counted to thirty seconds.

"Dong!!"

"Clang!!"

Just as they had feared, the situation took a turn for the worse.

When the pyramid turned golden, Mu Jinyu's divine-sense-controlled Dragon Phoenix Cauldron bore the brunt of a soul suppression.

Mu Jinyu felt an excruciating pain in his head, as if struck multiple times with a giant hammer, incapacitating him from projecting a single trace of divine sense to control the cauldron's size.

Instantly, the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron expanded again with the enlarging pyramid, reaching over three meters, and the pyramid flew out while the cauldron plummeted to the ground with a thud.

If the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron weren't a heaven-reaching spiritual treasure, the pyramid's sudden expansion would have torn it apart from the inside out, leaving it in ruins.

Even so, the impact damage to the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron was significant, requiring Mu Jinyu to spend considerable time nurturing it back with True Yuan.

"Thud."

The pyramid spun a few times mid-air before lightly landing, as if nothing had happened.

After the severe pain, it took Mu Jinyu a long moment to recover.

"Oh, this is terrible..."

Mu Jinyu looked pale, shaking his head, his eyes still a bit dazed, clearly affected by the recent soul attack.

Now he understood that subduing this pyramid wasn't as straightforward as he'd thought, otherwise Paradise Lost wouldn't have left it here so casually.

"Are you okay?" Yin Li whispered.

Mu Jinyu shook his head, saying, "I'm fine. Luckily, I didn't absorb it into myself earlier, or I would have suffered greatly."

Mu Jinyu's Life Source Energy allows him to quickly recover from severe injuries as long as he doesn't die immediately.

But just now, his soul was hit like thunder, rendering him unable to react. If the pyramid had expanded inside him, he would've been in grave danger, perhaps unable to activate his Life Source Energy in time.

This was the first time since obtaining Life Source Energy that Mu Jinyu felt genuine fear.

"Buzz!"

Now, the pyramid turned from gold to black again.

A chilling aura spread, capable of freezing an ordinary person to death at such proximity.

'Should I give up?' Mu Jinyu hesitated, eyeing the pyramid with reluctance.

In the past, he had several trump cards, like the Dragon-Phoenix Resentful Fiend, but as his cultivation rose, they became obsolete, got used up, or disappeared.

Upon seeing this pyramid, Mu Jinyu thought it'd make an excellent trump card, catching opponents off guard and causing them significant trouble.

"Hmm?"

At this moment, Mu Jinyu suddenly realized that when the pyramid escaped from the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron and fell close to him, the Three-Leaf Youlian inside him began emitting a restless sensation.

It seemed... eager to approach the pyramid?!

Mu Jinyu, noticing this, quickly lifted his head, looking at the pyramid before him.

It was black.

And at this time, the pyramid shifted from black to gold again.

Suddenly, the restless feeling from the Three-Leaf Youlian vanished.

"Hmm?!"

Mu Jinyu was sure his perception wasn't wrong, so...

Recalling the last time the Three-Leaf Youlian acted similarly, it was when he absorbed the black mist suppressing the Qinling Dragon Vein, granting him the suppressive effect's black water drop True Yuan?

So, when the pyramid turns black, emanating that chilling aura, could the Three-Leaf Youlian absorb this mysterious force?

Mu Jinyu hadn't personally touched the black-state pyramid and wasn't aware of how formidable it was during this transformation.

But given the mutual transformation and the intensity of the soul attack in its golden state, the black-state pyramid surely wouldn't be simple either.

If that's the case, could this be a potential breakthrough point?
