Chapter 809 - Dragon-Phoenix Blood Baptism
Boom!
When fresh blood sttered at the summit of the Dragon-Phoenix Stage, every gaze froze at this moment, the depth of their eyes overwhelmed with shock.
No one thought that Mu Chen would actually be so courageous. Not only did he ascend to the ninth stair step, he even charged his way towards the tenth!
However, when he reached the tenth step step, he looked like he couldn’t bear the terrifying pressure and had exploded...
Every expert swallowed a mouthful of saliva as they inwardly thought, Sure enough, the tenth flight of stairs is a gorge that can’t be crossed. Basically, no one can ascend it.
As the entire region was filled with cries of surprise, Cai Xiao’s face was somewhat pale as she watched this scene. Fresh blood sttered before her. Her mind became absent-minded as she watched the figure that was being annihted. Her heart had instantly sunk down. She never thought that Mu Chen would risk his life to such a degree!
Didn’t he know that the tenth stair step was basically a deathnd? It wasn’t an issue with strength, but that stair step basically forbade anyone from ascending.
Therefore, no matter how many outstanding geniuses there were in the past, they had only managed to reach the ninth stair step!
Because the tenth stair step was perhaps the pride left behind by the True Dragon and Phoenix, a territory that forbade anyone from stepping onwards.
Cai Xiao’s face changed as she clenched her teeth and was about to go and save Mu Chen. However, just when she was about to move, the figure that was slowly copsing suddenly stopped falling. He kneeled down to one knee as he unleashed a roar towards the sky.
ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGH!
His yell was filled with pain, but it was also filled with unswerving determination and stubbornness. At this moment, white bones could be seen and practically half of his body had exploded. If it wasn’t for the powerful vitality bestowed to him by the The Dragon and Phoenix Blood Essences, his body would’ve been destroyed long ago.
But even at this moment, there wasn’t any despair of admitting defeat!
The roar that sounded like that of a lion resounded in everyone’s ears. Countless experts showed shock in their eyes as they looked at the summit of the Dragon-Phoenix Stairs, at the figure that had a majority of his body destroyed. Even when he was bathed in blood, he still roared towards the sky. Not to mention ordinary experts, even Cai Xiao, Su Biyue, Hong Yu and Ding Xuan had their faces filled with shock.
The powerful willpower that Mu Chen had disyed made their hearts tremble.
“What a ferocious person!” Ding Xuan was dumbfounded and couldn’t help giving him a thumbs-up. Compared to the fight between Mu Chen and the Netherworld Prince, he was even more admirable right now.
The roar had attracted the attention of countless experts, and at this moment, there was a bright draconic roar and phoenix cry that also resounded from the summit of the Dragon-Phoenix Stage.
Everyone was startled as they saw a majestic pir of golden light soar towards the horizon at the end of the Dragon-Phoenix Stairs. In the pir of golden light, it was Mu Chen who had one knee on the ground.
The golden pir of light seemed to be filled with liquid. But with a clearer look, one would realise that those were dark-golden Dragon-Phoenix Blood Essences. Furthermore, their purity left many people shocked deep in their hearts.
Under the whistling of the Dragon-Phoenix Blood Essences, it was like a rainstorm that cleansed Mu Chen’s nearly crumbled body. Layers of dark-gold constantly enveloped Mu Chen’s body as well.
From the wounds, flesh could be seen growing at a visible speed.
Looking from afar, Mu Chen was like a golden buddha with an ancient pressure vaguely being emitted from his body. It was an extremely pure oppressive force. The might originated from the True Dragon and Phoenix!
“That’s the... Dragon-Phoenix Blood Baptism!”
Everyone was dumbfounded with their mouths wide open from the sudden change of events. Thereafter, the exmations were covered up by dense envy. That’s because they felt how pure the True Dragon and Phoenix Blood Essences in the golden pir of light were.
Even a hundred Dragon-Phoenix Pools were iparable to it!
“That brat’s life is too fortunate!” There were experts speaking out with their eyes turning red. It was the Dragon-Phoenix Blood Baptism, even someone with an extremely weak physique would be reborn after being wholly baptised by it. Not to mention that Mu Chen had a powerful physique, after this baptism, the strength of his body alone could probably confront those on the same cultivation as him.
Although they were envious, everyone knew that Mu Chen fought for it with his courage and willpower. That’s because, if they were in his ce, they wouldn’t have the courage to face death and force their way up the stairs.
“So the tenth stair step was a test.” Su Biyue, Hong Yu and Ding Xuan watched this scene withplicated gazes. They could clearly see better and from what they have felt, the tenth stair step was a sure death for anyone that dared to ascend it. Therefore, no one dared to ascend it after all these years, since no one was willing to take that risk. But this time, it was broken by Mu Chen.
The tenth stair step wasn’t a test of their strength, but their courage and willpower!
Cai Xiao felt relieved at this moment, while looking at the figure that was enveloped by the golden pir of light with interest. Although he was young, the stubbornness and determination engraved deep in his bones even moved her.
She took a deep nce at Mu Chen. For some reason, she felt that not too long from now, the name of this youth before her would resound throughout the entire Great Thousand World.
Buzz!
The dark-golden pir of light enveloped Mu Chen’s figure. There were some pure True Dragon and Phoenix Blood Essences that came out from it, spreading to Cai Xiao, Su Biyue and the rest. Although it was iparable to Mu Chen’s opportunity, it would be greatly beneficial for them if they managed to refine them. Immediately, they sat down and focused on absorbing those True Dragon and Phoenix Blood Essences.
From the dark-golden pir of light, a draconic roar and phoenix cry resounded in the sky. The pir of lightsted nearly ten minutes, before it started to dissipate.
Every single gaze was directed at the summit of the Dragon-Phoenix Stage in an instant.
In that direction, the golden light gradually retracted into a figure that was kneeling on the ground with a single knee. There weren’t any clothes on the top of his body and the golden light flowed beneath his skin. His damaged body had already beenpletely restored. Furthermore, as the golden light flowed, there was an oppressive force that was vaguely spreading out.
On his back, there was a golden tattoo of a phoenix unfolding its wings, almost as if it was alive. Spreading its wings, it seemed like it wanted to break out from Mu Chen’s body and soar into the horizon.
On his chest was a golden dragon tattoo, mightily overlooking down. As if it was overlooking thisnd and its prestige couldn’t be offended.
Mu Chen slowly opened his eyes. His eyes, which were pitch-ck, were golden at this moment, filled with a prestige that made others feel a suffocating pressure.
The golden coloursted for a while in his pupils, before it disappeared. Mu Chen looked down, nkly at a loss as he looked at his perfect and undamaged body. Gently clenching his fist, he could sense the terrifying power surging in his body.
It’s as if the True Dragon and Phoenix were hidden within his body.
He touched the dragon tattoo on his chest and his eyelids involuntarily twitched. That’s because he sensed that the True Dragon and Phoenix tattoo on his chest and back seemed to possess life.
They didn’t look like in tattoos but living creatures.
But, no matter what, he had sessfully passed through this cmity and could sense that the vitality contained within his body was more than tenfolds stronger than before.
The wounds that he had suffered from his fight with Liu Yan and the Netherworld Prince had long recovered, a recovery speed that even left him speechless.
It looked like, this time, he had won his gamble.
When the golden light dissipated in this region, there was numerous golden lights that gushed out from the altar. Those golden lights seemed to be dragon scales and phoenix feathers and, vaguely, ancient texts could be seen on those scales and feathers.
“Those are the inheritances left behind by the True Dragon and Phoenix!”
When the dragon scales and phoenix feathers appeared, an uproar burst out in this region and everyone had their eyes turned red. Any one of those that were collected by the True Dragon and Phoenix would be greatly beneficial to their cultivation.
The dragon scales and phoenix feathers revolved above the Dragon-Phoenix Stage, enveloping the entire Dragon-Phoenix Stairs. So, evidently, Cai Xiao, Su Biyue and the rest could also obtain them. However, it was also evident that the higher they were on the Dragon-Phoenix Stairs, the inheritance that they could obtain would be more precious as well.
Judging from the golden light being emitted from those dragon scales and phoenix feathers, one could differentiate how powerful they were. The higher it was on the Dragon-Phoenix Stairs, the number of dragon scales and phoenix feathers would decrease in number. However, the light emitted from those were more powerful, as well.
Su Biyue, Hong Yu and Ding Xuan were a little surprised as they looked at the circting dragon scales and phoenix feathers, impatiently wanting to try and take them.
Mu Chen raised his head as well. On the summit of the Dragon-Phoenix Stage, there was an extremely low number of dragon scales and phoenix feathers, there were only ten lumps of lights floating in the air.
Within those lumps of lights, dragon scales, dragon bones, phoenix feathers and various other items could be seen. Whether it was the ancient fluctuations being emitted from them, or the vastness of them, they were iparable with the others.
Mu Chen stared at the ten lump of lights and could vaguely sense that he could choose only one of those inheritances.
Mu Chen’s brows knitted as he pondered for a long time, before slowly closing his eyes. Since it was so hard to make a choice, then he’d let nature take its course.
Mu Chen slowly opened his arms, and gradually calmed his heart as a faint golden light emitted from the surface of his body. Naturally, he had brought out the Dragon-Phoenix Physique.
On his chest and back, the True Dragon and Phoenix tattoos gently wiggled as a golden beam of light shot out towards one of the ten lumps of light towards the extreme right.
Chee! Chee!
The golden light wrapped onto the lump of light and swiftly retracted.
Mu Chen opened his eyes and looked at the lump of golden light that was floating before him. He extended his hand out, and the golden lump of light fell into his hand. As the light dissipated, it revealed the item within.
It was a dark-golden bone, filled with ancient runes, as if it was the most ancient wording in the world, emanating a profound fluctuation.
Mu Chen grabbed the mysterious dark-golden bone and felt the blood and flesh in his body stirring up. Shortly after, his gaze trembled, looking at the dark-golden bone that seemed to have a rtionship with the Dragon-Phoenix Physique.
