Chapter 1011 - Cough Up
When the blood fist gradually approached, the vast battlefield had started to shatter and deep cracks had swiftly spread out. In that instant, it seemed like even the heavens and earth were about to be destroyed.
Beneath the fist, Mu Chen blossomed with golden light and a draconic roar and phoenix cry resounded from his arms and the golden light shot forth. For the first time, the True Dragon and Phoenix Tattoos separated themselves from Mu Chen’s body and they expanded, forming into the True Dragon and Phoenix images and hovered around him, forming a barrier of golden light that was like the sturdiest shield and protected Mu Chen within.
As the dragon and phoenix hovered around him, they both opened their mouths at the same time and a golden substantial light gushed down, pouring down and enveloped Mu Chen like a waterfall.
As the golden waterfall endlessly poured into Mu Chen’s body, baptising him, his flesh and blood gradually turned golden under the baptism of the golden waterfall. Containing a vague prestige.
That was the baptism of the True Dragon and Phoenix’s essences, which was even more powerful than when Mu Chen absorbed the essence of the Sky-Devouring Divine Beast!
Under the baptism, not only did Mu Chen’s body truly possess the aura of the True Dragon and Phoenix, even his blood had slightly changed, possessing powerful vitality.
In just a few short moments, Mu Chen had already sensed theplete changes in his body and surges of energy that even made him startled rushed in his blood and flesh, violently rushing forth as if they were endless.
Mu Chen slowly clenched his fist and the surging energy nearly made him howl towards the sky. That’s because his emotions had been brewing for too long for his breakthrough today.
A golden light surged in both of his eyes, possessing a powerful pressure as well. He could sense that with just his physical body alone, he could already confront a Seventh Grade Sovereign!
In addition to his own Spiritual Energy, Mu Chen was confident that beneath the realm of Eighth Grade Sovereign, there wouldn’t be many people that could make him feel fearful.
This time, the path of body refinement did not disappoint him.
As the True Dragon and Phoenix hovered around him, Mu Chen had also raised his head and looked at the descending bloody fist. Looking at the destructive energy contained in the fist, his gaze lightly flickered, before he gently smiled. “So that’s the case...”
He murmured softly. Mu Chen then called back the True Dragon and Phoenix images around him. At the same time, he had also retracted his Spiritual Energy, giving up his defences.
He stood beneath the fist without any defences in the way, allowing the destructive fist to descend.
It’s as if he was courting death.
When Mu Chen broke through, he suddenly had an insight and understood what the test of the fifth level was about...
The test wasn’t on withstanding the fist of the Blood War Monarch. That’s because it was practically impossible, and even if Mu Chen had broken through to the second level of the Dragon-Phoenix Sutra, he knew well in his heart that when the fist descended, he would be reduced to dust.
No matter how difficult the test was, there should be a probability of sess. But at that moment, Mu Chen could not see that strand of sess at all.
Therefore, the only possibility was that this wasn’t a genuine test.
There was another meaning to the test.
“Self-Sacrificial Demonic Punch...giving up one’s life...if one wants to inherit it, then one would need to have the courage to forsake their life. If they don’t even have this courage, then it would be impossible for them to cultivate the Self-Sacrificial Demonic Punch.”
As the fist enveloped him, Mu Chen raised his head and looked at the destructive fist without any expression.
Boom!
In the end, the bloody fist bombarded against Mu Chen’s body, causing the earth to crack and a terrifying shock wave violently wreaked havoc, before the entire heavens and earth were destroyed...
This scene was only seen by those outside the Body Refining Pagoda. Thereafter, the screen trembled, before it shattered and disappeared.
The outside of the Body Refining Pagoda was silent.
Nine Nether looked at the screen, which was fading away, and her face turned pale. Even if they were outside the Body Refining Pagoda, they could still sense how terrifying the Self-Sacrificial Demonic Punch was. Since Mu Chen did not manage to escape, then he was most likely dead.
The experts of the other ns all shook their heads. Some felt pity, while some felt joy. All of them had a different expression as they all looked at Nine Nether.
Liu Qing of the Sky Roc n was also stunned as she looked at the scene. When she recovered from the shock, she quickly looked at Nine Nether with a hidden meaning. Regardless of how outstanding Mu Chen was, his final foolish action had still caused all his efforts to fail.
Since he had already died, there’s no point, no matter how outstanding his performance was.
On the ground near to the Body Refining Pagoda, Zong Teng, Mo Feng and Han Shan, who had previously chosen to give up, had appeared at this spot and the three of them were looking at the shattered screen with nk expressions. In the end, they seemed to have seen Mu Chen’s silhouette being reduced to dust.
Mo Feng had an ugly expression on his face and felt enraged. If he had known about this, then he would have forcefully pulled Mu Chen out along with him. But he was also in doubt, Mu Chen’s character didn’t seem to be someone that would act so recklessly. So knowing that he was doomed to die, why did he still stay in there so stubbornly?
Han Shan also had aplicated expression as he looked at the Body Refining Pagoda and shook his head with some pity.
Zong Teng felt somewhat dumbfounded. The fellow that pulled him down time and time again had died like this?
After being dumbfounded, he couldn’t help grinning. “What a reckless fool!”
In his view, Mu Chen thought that he could obtain the greatest opportunity as before. So he wasn’t willing to give up due to his greed. At the end, who could have expected that under the horrifying fist of the Blood War Monarch, even they were as tiny as ants and couldn’t put up any resistance.
But not only did Mu Chen not want to give up, he even bitterly persevered. Did he think that he could get through the stage with just perseverance? What a fool indeed!
However, when Zong Tengughed, an extremely cold de-like gaze shot over. When he raised his head, he saw Nine Nether having a cold expression not far away.
“Am I wrong?” Facing Nine Nether’s cold gaze, Zong Teng casually smiled.
With Mu Chen already dead, he naturally had no worries. Even if Nine Nether and Mo Feng were tough to deal with, they couldn’t do a thing to them. Furthermore, he might even be able to make Nine Nether cough up the 1,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid that Mu Chen had taken from him.
“Looks like your lesson in the Body Refining Pagoda was insufficient. We all witnessed how pathetic you looked back then.” Nine Nether coldly said.
When Nine Nether spoke, everyone in the surroundings looked towards Zong Teng with weird gaze. They must have recalled how pathetic he looked.
Zong Teng’s face turned a little cold at this moment. A genius of the Sky Roc n was being forced to this step by a human. It was simply humiliating and Nine Nether had just torn his wounds apart.
Zong Teng coldly looked at Nine Nether and his Spiritual Energy gradually gathered around him. Nine Nether did not let it go either. She looked at Zong Teng with a cold gaze as well.
The two of them had surging Spiritual Energy, showing signs of making a move.
“Heh. Looks like your Nine Netherbird n has offended quite a few people... Since that’s the case, then my Thunder Crow n will join in.” When Nine Nether’s group was facing the Sky Roc n, a burst of coldughter suddenly resounded and Lu Sui, who had been nurturing his injuries, stood up and coldly looked at Nine Nether.
He had beenpletely humiliated when he was forced out of the Body Refining Pagoda by Mu Chen. With Mu Chen already dead, he had naturally ced the grudge onto Nine Nether.
When Nine Nether saw the Thunder Crow n jumping out, her face had turned dark and her gaze grew colder.
Mo Feng and Mo Ling appeared beside Nine Nether with boundless Spiritual Energy surging around them. Clearly, they were prepared to take action at any time.
“You clowns only dare to jump out since Mu Chen is not around?” Nine Nether swept a cold ze at Lu Sui and Zong Teng as she mocked.
Zong Teng faintly smiled as he shook his head. “Earlier, I let it go since the two of them were standing on the same side against me. In terms of individual fights, how can Mu Chen be ced in my eyes? Actually, I hope that nothinges to him so that I can let him cough up the Sovereign Spiritual Liquid that he has taken from me!”
“Really?”
Hearing his words, Nine Nether’s eyes circted with light and she suddenly gave a mocking smile.
When Zong Teng saw Nine Nether’s smile, he suddenly felt uneasy and coldly snorted, “Do you think that brat is still alive? You’re simply dreaming!”
Nine Nether’s face, which was initially pale, recovered as she looked at Zong Teng with a smile-yet-not-a-smile expression. “I say, you guys should know about the Bloodlink Bond between me and Mu Chen, right?”
Zong Teng snickered, “You still dare to mention this matter...”
As he spoke, he suddenly figured something out and his face drastically changed. If Nine Nether and Mu Chen had a Bloodlink Bond between them, then Nine Nether would also be implicated with Mu Chen’s death. Although Nine Nether’s gaze was cold, she didn’t seem to be suffering from it.
That meant... that Mu Chen wasn’t dead!
Just as Zong Teng’s face drastically changed, a light suddenly swept out from the Body Refining Pagoda. When the silhouette appeared, he quietly stood on a stone stage.
His pitch-ck pupils slowly fixed onto Zong Teng and a cold arc rose on the corner of his lips.
“You want me to cough up the Sovereign Spiritual Liquid that I have taken from you?”
