Chapter 763 - Primordial Fire Dragon Blood Essence
A dazzling golden light exploded in the sky, and a giant golden figure broke through the scarlet heat waves like a buddha that had molded its golden body. That ferocious stance made many experts have their expressions uncontrollably change, turning grave.
That’s because Mu Chen was actually uninjured from five of the Sky-Burning Runes!
It was an attack that even a Fourth Grade Sovereign would have to dodge!
“What’s going on?” Bing Qing and the rest of the Commanders couldn’t help exclaiming. Clearly, the outcome wasn’t what they had expected. How could a kid who’s only at Third Grade Sovereign withstand five Sky-Burning Runes?
“Haha, I have said from the start that this kid isn’t so simple.” Huo Mei’er laughed as astonishment flashed in her eyes as well. It’s because she had sensed that the Sovereign Celestial Body that Mu Chen had cultivated seemed too powerful.
Under the countless astonished gazes, Mu Chen’s figure appeared on the head of the Great Solar Undying Body once again, before he stomped his feet. The blazing sun between the brows of the Sovereign Celestial Body grew increasingly bright as a glit-like lustre flowed on the surface of its body.
Boom!
The Great Solar Undying Body burst out at an extreme speed, appearing above the head of a magma dragon in an instant as the gilt-like palm landed on the head of that dragon like a bolt of lightning with fearful golden light spewing out.
Boom!
As the golden light spurted, the magma dragon instantly issued a painful howl as golden cracks started to spread on its head, before it exploded with a boom, splattering magma in every direction.
Mu Chen had borrowed the Sovereign Ability of the Great Solar Undying Body, the One Solar Energy, to swiftly attack and instantly slaughter a magma dragon.
This sudden event made many experts narrow their eyes. They felt surprised by Mu Chen’s decisiveness and ruthlessness. It seemed like he understood that he could not let those nine dragons unleash an endless amount of attacks. Otherwise, even if he had a powerful Sovereign Celestial Body, it wouldn’t be easy to last till the end.
Rustle!
Mu Chen did not stop his steps after swiftly killing a magma dragon. He turned around and pounced towards another magma dragon.
Roar!
But the remaining magma dragons had recovered from the initial surprise, and immediately roared in anger as dragon claws that had magma flowing on them penetrated through space and flew towards the huge golden figure.
Eight dragon roars tore through space as they flew over with terrifying energy fluctuations that had locked the space around Mu Chen, which prevented him from dodging. However, Mu Chen still maintained a calm expression on his face. With a change of his seals, the blazing sun in the center of the Great Solar Undying Body’s brows grew even more radiant.
Clearly, he had activated the One Solar Energy of his Sovereign Ability to the limits.
The Great Solar Undying Body stood proudly on the sky as the Great Meru Demonic Pillar appeared with a grasping gesture. An ominous aura and golden light surged at the same time. When the demonic pillar was waved, multiple beams of light burst out and clashed with the eight dragon claws.
Boom! Boom!
The terrifying energy fluctuations were like a group of windstorms as they wreaked havoc. Everyone had their mouths wide open in the sky as the golden light surged. Mu Chen had controlled the Great Solar Undying Body to engage a battle with the eight dragons. Furthermore, his attacks were extremely sharp. He had given up on defending and only focused on attack.
In just ten exchanges, the Great Solar Undying Body was covered with claw marks as the price for his decision. But whenever the gilt-like golden light streaked across, the marks would disappear. By itself, the Great Solar Undying Body already had a powerful defence and in addition with the Daluo Golden Body, Mu Chen didn’t fear this sort of mortal combat.
Up in the sky, the massive Sovereign Celestial Body and the eight magma dragons clashed with one another. Their mortal combat caused the eyelids of those countless experts that were watching this battle to twitch. Especially with Mu Chen’s ferocious methods of fight, which made them uncontrollably twitch their mouths. Despite being young, he was more ferocious than anyone there.
The rumbling raging battle in the sky continued for a short ten minutes and five magma dragons had already been destroyed by the Great Meru Demonic Pillar. Naturally, Mu Chen had paid the price for this. There were deep claw marks left on the chest of the Sovereign Celestial Body, with blazing magma still flowing on it. Even with the Great Solar Undying Body’s decent recovery speed, it could it instantly recover from this damage in a short span of time.
Right now, there were only three magma dragons remaining in the sky.
“Formidable.” Many experts exclaimed in admiration.
Huo Mei’er, Bing Qing and the rest, however, were lightly shaking their heads.
“If this continues, he will not have any chance to break through the array.” Mandala said indifferently as she calmly watched this scene.
Hearing her words, Nine Nether’s face slightly changed. But due to the fact that she wasn’t that familiar with the Nine-Nine Fire Dragons Array, she couldn’t comprehend Mandala’s words.
Mandala did not make any explanations because at this moment, an unforeseen event occured in the array. Magma rolled as huge pillars of magma soared into the sky with dragon roars following after. Sharp claws abruptly stretched out the magma, revealing the ferocious figures. Another six magma dragons had emerged!
With this, the number of dragons went back to nine and Mu Chen’s hard battle was all in vain!
At the sight of this scene, not only did Mu Chen’s face change, even those experts that had no understanding about the Nine-Nine Fire Dragon Array had their eyes narrowed.
Many experts were puzzled, but they had also witnessed how terrifying the Nine-Nine Fire Dragon Array was. It was no wonder why it was used as trial to be a Commander of the Great Havenlaw Army.
“You can’t break the array with brute force.” Huo Mei’er murmured to herself.
In the magma, Mu Chen had his brows knitted at this scene, before a light swiftly flickered in his eyes. It looked like the Nine-Nine Fire Dragons Array wasn’t as easy as he had imagined. Although the nine dragons were terrifying, it didn’t mean that he could break the array by defeating them. It looked like they would come back no matter how many times he destroyed them.
Thus, he would only be wasting his strength.
“How can this be?” Mu Chen narrowed his eyes as he looked at the scarlet magma below. With a flash of a thought, he started to recall Mandala’s words.
“As long as the magma is still around, the magma dragons will be undying.”
At first, Mu Chen still had some doubts in his heart, but after this attempt, he realised that what Mandala had said was right. Could it be that he had to destroy all the magma here? But that was an impossible task, since it was linked to a fire source underground.
Mu Chen stared at the scarlet magma ocean when a golden light suddenly flashed in his eyes. In that instant, he had clearly sensed an abnormal fluctuation in the depths of the magma array.
Rustle!
Mu Chen’s eyes swiftly sparkled as he tapped his feet and made a dive in the next instant, charging towards the magma array.
Roar!
Seeing his actions, the nine magma dragons instantly issued furious roars as they attempted to intercept him. However, a golden light burst from the Great Solar Undying Body as the Great Meru Demonic Pillar swept out, obstructing them.
Splash!
Mu Chen’s figure had directly charged into the magma, which raised many attracted gazes. However, the eyes of Mandala, Huo Mei’er and the rest had light flashing across.
Entering the magma, Mu Chen swiftly made his way towards the depths as some purple flames formed into a layer of protection on his body, blocking the high temperature, and his senses had rapidly spread out. After about ten breaths of time, his body froze as he looked down.
In the depths of the magma, there were nine scarlet lumps of light. Within every single lump of light was a drop of magma-like blood with a dragon seemingly coiling within them as they emitted shocking, burning undulations.
Furthermore, those fire dragons seemed to be coiling on a scale covered in fire. Mu Chen could sense a heart-alarming aura coming from those scales.
“The Primordial Fire Dragon’s Blood Essence!”
Looking at those nine drops of blood essence, Mu Chen finally understood that they were the reason why the dragons could be endlessly produced. If he could not break them apart, then he would not be able to break through this array.
But even if he had found the source, it wasn’t an easy task to break through. Although they were only blood essences, he could still sense how terrifying the owner of those blood essences was when it was still alive. That level of existence was probably well-known in the world.
But, no matter how hard it would be, he had to try.
Mu Chen inhaled a breath as he slowly shut his eyes.
Outside the magma, Mandala waved her hand and a light screen that displayed the situation in the magma was formed before her, with Mu Chen and the nine blood essences of the Primordial Fire Dragon within it.
“He finally found it.” A smear of a smile appeared on Mandala’s face as she continued, “But the blood essence is protected by the scales of the Primordial Fire Dragon. It will not be an easy feat to break through that layer of dragon scales.”
Nine Nether had also revealed some concern on her face. The Primordial Fire Dragon was a top-ranked Divine Beast, and this one must have reached a terrifying height when it was still alive. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be possible for nine drops of blood and dragon scales to possess such might.
“Rest assured, he can be considered to have passed the trial by retrieving one drop of the Primordial Fire Dragon’s blood essence. Furthermore, the one taken by him will also be given to him as a reward.” Mandala smiled as she continued, “It isn’t easy to break through the defence of the nine dragon scales, not even any of you can easily accomplish it as well. Back then, when Huo Mei’er became the Great Commander, she had only managed to take four drops of Primordial Fire Dragon’s blood essence.”
“Mhm?”
Just when she finished her words, Mandala suddenly exclaimed in surprise as she stared at the light screen with astonishment in her golden pupils. In the light screen, Mu Chen, who had his eyes shut, suddenly opened them. Furthermore, his eyes had turned completely black at this moment, without the slightest white in them. They looked like the black holes of the abyss, which made him look especially strange.
Furthermore, when Mu Chen’s eyes had turned black, the Spiritual Energy fluctuations emitting from him had also become very strange.
At this sight, Nine Nether abruptly narrowed her eyes and she couldn’t help murmuring to herself.
“This is… the Supreme Demon Heart Scripture’s Demon Heart State?”
