Chapter 448 Opening the Cauldron and Refining the Island! Burning Mountains and Boiling Seas!
Just when the group thought they were about to be engulfed in gunfire and were preparing to make their escape, they discovered that Behemoth's men had also ceased fire.
what's the situation?
Just then, someone ran out and shouted that someone who could make a decision should come in and talk, and that the fighting was over.
Okay, I'm not playing anymore.
Li Muxuan and his entourage naturally stepped forward without hesitation, and followed the others into the palace to see what had happened.
Ron was seen being choked by one of the Inhumans he had brought with him, standing in a dug pit beneath the roots of the divine tree.
There is a group of Inhumans in Behemoth who do the dirty work and are controlled by implanting miniature bombs in the brain. Now it is clear that, at some point, the bomb in this guy's brain has been removed. Therefore, while Ron is still hesitating and acting crazy in front of the Tree of God, wanting to die.
The humiliated Inhuman suddenly erupted in anger, yelling, "If you want to die, don't drag us down with you!" He then staged a coup, taking Ron hostage and demanding the complete destruction of the Tree of Life! He also invited everyone to watch the fireworks show.
This is the rarest fireworks show ever, and it uses this masterpiece of ancient witchcraft, the sacred tree.
As the onlookers entered the palace, they gazed at the eerie yet dazzling divine tree and exclaimed in their own unique ways, "Wow, it's amazing! Everyone wants it! But unfortunately, no one can take it! The fairest solution is to blow it up!"
If I can't get it, then nobody else can!
But Zhang Chulan had a question in his mind. He was certain that Li Muyang's target was the divine tree before him, but now that the divine tree was covered with bombs, why hadn't Li Muyang made a move yet? When was he going to do it? Moreover, Zhang Chulan was very curious about how Li Muyang would resolve the current situation and successfully obtain the divine tree.
Just then, the divine tree suddenly emitted a blinding light, and a beam of light emerged from the tree, transforming into a human figure that appeared on the tree, calmly looking at the people in front of it.
At this moment, Li Muyang naturally took the stage.
“Mr. Ron, as agreed, since your Behemoth operation has failed, it’s my turn to take over…” Li Muyang said with a faint smile and a leisurely tone, then slowly stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers before anyone could react to what was about to happen!
Everyone present... no, everyone on Nathan Island, everyone still on Nathan Island, felt a blur before their eyes and were suddenly all transported off the island! They were all teleported to their respective sea transports, and some who had temporarily left were thrown onto friendly ships.
This includes Ron and Behemoth's group, as well as the Inhumans who kidnapped him.
Zhang Chulan and his group, including Li Muxuan, were naturally thrown onto Huang Boren's ship.
Li Muyang was also very considerate, moving everyone's belongings out of the island to ensure there were no other obstacles on the island. Then, with a wave of his hand, a magic circle was set up across the entire Nason Island.
Then, the magic circle continued to expand, forming a hemispherical barrier that enveloped Nathan Island! Immediately afterwards, the magic circle and barrier transformed into a gigantic ancient cauldron of energy, lifting the entire Nathan Island into the air!
Under everyone's horrified gaze, Nathan Island... instantly burst into flames!
The dazzling flames spewed out from the holes in the ancient cauldron. Even though they were still some distance away, the terrifying heat was unbearable for the onlookers. They hurriedly sailed away in their boats and submarines, and only after retreating several kilometers did they feel that the temperature was barely bearable.
Looking at the ancient cauldron burning fiercely in the distance, Ron, who had been rescued, had a look of melancholy and bitterness on his face.
Damn it! Only now did he realize! The one with the biggest appetite was actually Li Muyang!
They, Behemoth, wanted Nathan Island and the Tree of Gods, but only wanted to research the technology to mass-produce Inhumans.
Li Muyang, on the other hand, threw the entire Nasen Island, including the Divine Tree, into the ancient cauldron to refine it all at once!
“Chairman Huang…” Ron looked at Huang Boren with a resentful expression: “You guys really made a killing this time!”
Huang Boren looked completely innocent: "Don't be ridiculous. How can this person be compared to us? Not to mention you, I never expected that this person would use such supernatural methods! He just created an island like that."
"Luckily, they teleported everyone off the island before opening the cauldron! Otherwise, we would have been sacrificed inside without any chance to resist. Speaking of which, this person shouldn't have set up such a large magic array so casually..."
Upon hearing this, Ron felt even more remorseful, because it was he who had agreed to let Li Muyang come to the island! They had become complacent because they couldn't find Li Muyang, never expecting that such a big gift had been secretly prepared for them!
Is it a case of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind?
That's not quite right. After being kidnapped, Ron has already come to his senses. He was somewhat influenced by the Divine Tree earlier, and actually wanted to live and die with it, which is not like him at all!
Now that he had realized what was happening, Ron knew that this operation was bound to fail because their arrogant and domineering actions had aroused public anger. They were no longer facing just Nathan Island, but the global Inhuman forces!
The best course of action is to minimize the losses.
Fortunately, Li Muyang teleported everyone out indiscriminately in one go! That saved him.
Although the Inhuman who kidnapped Ron, along with the controlled squad, managed to escape, Ron had no objections. On the contrary, in a sense, he was quite grateful to the other party for waking him up. Considering this, he would try not to kill him next time they met.
On the other side, Li Muxuan also stared in disbelief at this exaggerated scene, which resembled a mythical tale! If someone had once told him that a great supernatural being had created an entire island with a wave of their hand, Li Muxuan would have argued with that person for three days and two nights! They would have competed to see who was superior!
But now that I've seen it with my own eyes, I have no choice but to believe it!
Is there really a powerful being who can create an island with a wave of their hand?
"What's the background of this family member?" Li Muxuan asked Zhang Chulan in surprise, as Zhang Chulan and his group were clearly very familiar with Li Muyang.
Zhang Chulan and his group smiled wryly. Were they even acquainted? They had only met a few times. When Li Muxuan asked, they told the old man what they knew about Li Muyang.
"Hiss... That old charlatan Zhang Xuanlin actually has a disciple of an immortal from the upper realm?" Li Muxuan's eyes widened in shock, and he immediately became interested: "And you guys are saying that the kid is actually the reincarnation of the Xuandu Master?"
An old friend suddenly turned into an ancestor?
"Well... we don't know much about it either. If you really want to know something, you should ask Brother Li in person," Zhang Chulan explained, half-laughing and half-crying. He couldn't be as carefree as Li Muxuan, especially since he had something on his mind!
Facing Zhang Xuanlin's seemingly insightful gaze, Zhang Chulan felt quite guilty! He had a feeling that Zhang Xuanlin knew something, but just wouldn't ask him! And Zhang Chulan didn't know exactly how much Zhang Xuanlin knew, which made him feel very uneasy.
The two are acting strangely now; when they meet, they act as if they don't know each other, at most exchanging a greeting.
What is it? Of course, it's about Mr. Tian Jinzhong!
Tian Lao's death had nothing to do with Zhang Chulan, but Zhang Chulan knew who Gong Qing, the acting leader of Quanxing, had asked for help when he extracted Tian Lao's memories!
This person is Lü Liang!
Lü Liang shared Elder Tian's memories with Zhang Chulan! The two also reached a certain agreement.
The specifics are unimportant; what matters is that Zhang Chulan maintains contact with Lü Liang, a member of the Quanxing sect who was involved in the operation that led to Tian Jinzhong's death. If Zhang Xuanlin or Zhang Zhiwei finds out about this, Zhang Chulan feels he wouldn't have enough lives to spare.
Even if the two elders don't go all out, this matter will have a significant impact on the relationship between the two sides. There's also the possibility that the Celestial Master will not allow Zhang Chulan to leave Longhu Mountain!
Getting back to the main point, seeing that he couldn't get any more information about Li Muyang from Zhang Chulan and his group, Li Muxuan stopped asking and continued to observe the changes in the giant cauldron with curiosity.
The interior was still filled with raging flames, and the outline of Nathan Island was no longer visible. The high temperature emanating from the giant cauldron had even heated the seawater, making it hot enough to soak in a hot spring.
Yeah, there really are a few fallen angels over there who went into the sea to soak in the hot springs! They're so brave!
Unbeknownst to everyone, this was already a sign that Li Muyang was controlling the temperature! Otherwise, he would have easily demonstrated what it meant to "burn mountains and boil seas"—a true seafood feast!
What they didn't know was that Li Muyang had also mobilized the power of spacetime during the refining process to speed up the process; otherwise, it would probably have taken at least a year and a half to finish.
The result of the acceleration was that a group of people who had come to watch the spectacle waited for a whole day and night, and surprisingly, not one of them left! Even those who had caused trouble for Behemoth earlier were now watching eagerly from the outside, because anyone would want to witness such a miraculous phenomenon!
Even the people of Nathan Island, including King Nathan and the Nathan Guard, stood on the deck with complicated expressions. They had been traded to a group of forces that had a grudge against Behemoth, and now they could sense that their divine tree... seemed to have disappeared? Or perhaps it hadn't?
They could no longer sense the divine tree's presence, which should have meant it had vanished. Yet, King Nathan and Nathan Guard felt no sadness whatsoever; in fact, they felt a strange sense of joy. They couldn't explain why, hence their complicated feelings.
In addition, for some reason, he now has a feeling of being freed from the shackles he was wearing, and Elijah's long-cherished goal has been achieved in this strange way.
Even he was in a very complicated situation at this moment.
Various forces are also using scientific research equipment to study the data in the vicinity. They are also very curious about what Li Muyang is doing. He has refined an entire island. What kind of thing can he refine?
Li Muyang didn't keep them waiting long. About 36 hours after he opened the cauldron, there was finally some movement!
