The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Chapter 2595: Encountering the Magic Picture Again

The waves in the Prison God Sea are surging, and Tianshan Island stands quietly like a pearl inlaid in the vast ocean.

Since Matthew and others landed on the island, after careful preparation, a unique defense system has been formed on the island.

On weekdays, some tree man puppets would occasionally appear and fight with the monsters that attempted to land on the island.

The treeman puppets today are vastly different from before, both in appearance and strength.

Their bodies grew taller and stronger, their bark was as hard as iron, and their branches were like sharp swords. When they were waved, they made vigorous movements and created whistling sounds in the wind.

With these powerful tree man puppets in charge, the monsters seemed to have found an object to vent their anger on, and they rushed towards them frantically in an attempt to destroy them.

The treeman puppet showed no fear at all. It firmly held its position and repelled the invading monsters time and time again.

The waters near Tianshan Island were extremely lively, with shouts, roars, and sounds of breaking branches intertwined together.

Every time the treeman puppet collides with a monster, huge waves will splash.

Every attack makes the surrounding air tremble.

The monsters kept charging, trying to break through the defense line of the treeman puppets, but the treeman puppets were like a Great Wall of Steel, standing firm and refusing to retreat.

Everyone on the island was well aware of Mo Tu's power and did not dare to be careless at all.

They were busy at their respective posts, preparing for the upcoming decisive battle.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Matthew and others have spent half a year on Tianshan Island.

During the past six months, the periphery of Tianshan Island has gradually formed an inherent defensive structure.

Although the monsters were always gathering there, they were unable to get close to the island due to the obstruction of more and more tree man puppets.

On this day, Matthew was meditating quietly in the cave.

Suddenly, he slowly opened his eyes, a look of surprise in his eyes.

Then, his figure flashed and he left the cave silently like a ghost.

His figure flashed in the air, leaving no trace of escape light, as if he was teleporting in space at an astonishing speed.

In just a very short time, Matthew had traveled thousands of miles and arrived at a small island thousands of miles away from Tianshan Island.

The moment his figure landed on the ground, an invisible air wave spread out from his body and swept towards the surroundings.

Wherever the air wave went, the monsters within a hundred feet with Matthew as the center instantly turned into nothingness. All the monsters close to the range of the air wave disappeared without a trace, as if their existence was wiped out by a mysterious force.

"Come out, how long do you want to hide from me?" Matthew stood where he was, glancing at a place seemingly intentionally or unintentionally, and spoke lightly.

His voice was not loud, but it seemed to carry an invisible majesty, echoing throughout the entire island.

As he finished speaking, the energy waves from his body instantly spread to about three hundred feet.

However, after the air wave spread, it immediately dissipated, as if it had never appeared.

Just above the ground not far from Matthew, a ball of black gas slowly emerged.

The black gas seemed to have life, constantly rolling and spreading.

Soon, a tall monster appeared in front of Matthew.

After the monster appeared, it looked at Matthew with a complicated expression, moved its mouth, and uttered a difficult voice from its throat: "Greetings, Master."

This monster was the same demon that Matthew sent to the Prison God Sea to gather information when the demon invasion broke out.

Since leaving Matthew, Motu seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth and there has been no news of him since.

Originally, Matthew had tried to sense his breath, but the restrictions left in Motu's body had long disappeared. He once thought that Motu had died in the dangerous sea, and gradually forgot about him.

However, when Matthew was practicing a mysterious art, he accidentally sensed the existence of the magic picture.

Out of curiosity he came here in person.

"The restrictions I left in your body have been erased. You shouldn't be able to do it with your ability." Matthew looked at the magic picture calmly, with a hint of scrutiny in his eyes.

His gaze was like a sharp sword, as if it could penetrate Motu's heart and find out the truth of the matter.

"It was an adult who helped me..."

Motu replied respectfully, his body trembling slightly.

At this moment, he was extremely nervous. He never expected that Matthew would appear here.

He couldn't even remember how long it had been since he last thought of Matthew. Especially after feeling Matthew's restrained yet extremely powerful aura, he knew that Matthew's cultivation must have reached the Spirit Transformation Stage.

And he was still only at the Nascent Soul stage and was no match for Matthew at all.

Thinking of this, a deep awe and fear surged in his heart.

"You don't need to be afraid. We have no hatred against each other, even though you followed me later. I believe I have never treated you unfairly. Now that you are free again, I will not make things difficult for you." Matthew saw Motu's fear of him and said softly.

After these words were spoken, Motu looked at Matthew with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Thank you, master!" Motu bowed immediately without caring whether what Matthew said was true or false.

"I can let you go, but I feel a faint aura of Mo Tu on you. You must tell me when you came into contact with Mo Tu and what he did to you!" But then, Matthew's voice became sharp, and he stared at Mo Tu.

Motu was startled when he heard this. He looked up and was about to speak, but he saw two purple spiral lines appear in Matthew's eyes.

Then, he felt that his consciousness was trapped in a whirlpool and was rapidly sinking.

"Not good!" Motu exclaimed in his heart, but he was unable to perform any tricks.

After just three breaths, the magic picture became sluggish.

There was no trace of the normal look he had before.

With Matthew's current strength, it would be too easy for him to use the Heavenly Illusion Demon Eye on the demon who is still in the Nascent Soul stage.

And it is impossible for the magic picture to have the slightest resistance.

Then, Matthew began to ask about Mo Tu.

As for Motu's experience, Matthew did not ask, nor did he want to know.

The magic map is no longer of any use to him, and even if it remains with him he will find a way to get rid of it.

He just wanted information related to Mo Tu.

About an hour later, Matthew looked at the magic picture calmly.

With a wave of his hand, the space around the magic picture began to distort.

Afterwards, the magic picture was completely sucked into the distorted space and disappeared.

Although he promised to let the demon picture go, Matthew would not leave such a monster in the human world.

It will definitely become a threat to others in the future.

What Matthew had just displayed was not a true means of controlling space. Even if he had refined half of his world soul, he could not do such a heaven-defying thing.

He simply used the power of the world soul to seal the magic map in this place.

Matthew was very confident that even if the Demon Slayer came here in person, he might not be able to discover that a monster was sealed here.
