Outside the God's Cemetery, along with Bai Ming's gloomy expression calming down, the atmosphere had clearly become a little strange. Numerous bewildered gazes were constantly directed at Mu Chen's direction.
When Bai Ming suddenly launched an attack at Mu Chen, they initially thought that the latter's party would be forced into a pretty pathetic state. After all, with the Phoenix Clan's formation and Bai Ming's powerful strength, ordinary teams wouldn't dare to confront them.
But no one had expected that this difficult situation would be so easily resolved by Mu Chen. Furthermore, not only did Mu Chen resolve Bai Ming's troubles, he even caused the latter to be in such a pathetic state.
Facing the obstruction of the other top clans, even Bai Ming clearly did not dare to incur the wrath of the masses.
That's because if he really angered Mu Chen, then the latter would detonate the silver heart that contained terrifying Spiritual Energy. At that time, everyone here would probably be implicated. At that time, even the entrance to the God's Cemetery might be destroyed.
Although many people doubted if Mu Chen had the courage to detonate the silver heart, they clearly didn't want to gamble on the so-called 'what if'.
Since that's the case, then they could only stop Bai Ming in case he really provoked Mu Chen. At that time, everyone here wouldn't have a good outcome.
Thus, no matter how unwilling those teams were, they had no choice but to stop Bai Ming, even if it would cause a rift in the latter's heart.
Under the abnormal silence, the Nine-Coloured Peacock Clan's beauty raised her five-coloured eyes and looked at Mu Chen.
Her tone was cold as she said, "Friend, all of us here want to enter the God's Cemetery.
So please keep the thing in your hand and don't make too many threats.
Otherwise, if this place is really destroyed, then perhaps many people here won't agree to it. "
Originally, they were merely watching the fight between Mu Chen's group and the Phoenix clan. However, they were ultimately forced by Mu Chen to intervene. This forced attitude caused them to feel a little dissatisfied in their hearts. Naturally, they wanted to warn Mu Chen to know when to stop.
Hearing this, Mu Chen smiled and lightly tossed the lightning-devouring beast heart in his hand.
"We have no intention of causing trouble. However, if anyone really thinks that we're pushovers, I don't mind letting them know that pushovers also have their moments."
"Shameless boasting!"
Behind Bai Ming, the corners of Bai Bin's eyes twitched as he barked with an ashen face. Mu Chen's words were clearly directed at them.
Bai Ming's expression returned to indifference.
However, he did not get angry. He only looked deeply at Mu Chen with a gaze that was like an icy blade. In the depths of his gaze, a chilling killing intent surged.
"I will remember your words." Bai Ming waved his hand to stop Bai Bin's cursing.
However, he faintly said, "I hope that you can keep this item with you."
Hearing Bai Ming's words, the surrounding experts' eyelids twitched. Although Bai Ming didn't seem to be happy or angry,
Although Bai Ming didn't seem to be angry, everyone could sense that at this moment.
He was already filled with killing intent for Mu Chen.
Thinking about it, they inwardly shook their heads.
Although that brat called Mu Chen had some means, he was still too inexperienced. The reason why he dared to confront Bai Ming was because of the silver heart in his hand.
Although they weren't too familiar with this item, they could roughly guess that it was extremely powerful. However, there was a limit to how many times it could be used, and it might even be a one-time use item.
Otherwise, if there wasn't a limit, how could Mu Chen bypass Bai Ming so easily and throw it over? Even if there were many experts of the Phoenix Clan here, they would still be in a mess with heavy casualties.
But right now, he had only brought it out and did not activate it. Clearly, he was only using it as a deterrent, and there should be a great limit to its usage.
Therefore, once Mu Chen used it, it would probably be the time for Bai Ming to reveal his fangs.
"You don't have to worry about that."
Mu Chen smiled as he kept the Lightning-Devouring Beast's heart. The might of this item was too powerful, and it was a little aggrieving for him to use it against Bai Ming.
As for Bai Ming's threat, he merely glanced at it slightly. Bai Ming was indeed very strong, and he was even stronger than Jin Qingtian. However, if Bai Ming really thought that he dared to fight him head-on, then he would probably return in disappointment when the time came just by relying on the Lightning-Devouring Beast's Heart.
The reason why he had brought out the Lightning-Devouring Beast's heart was to intimidate those fellows with ulterior motives. If he didn't display sufficient strength here, then there would be endless troubles. Since that's the case, then he might as well intimidate them right from the start to prevent any future troubles.
The effect of bringing out the Lightning-Devouring Beast's heart was pretty good. Not only did Bai Ming retreat in fear, even the teams of the other top-tiered Divine Beast Clans were filled with dense fear. It was so much so that they even had to make a move to obstruct Bai Ming to prevent the conflict from escalating.
The Nine-Coloured Peacock Clan's beauty cast a glance at Mu Chen, who was sneering. She couldn't see any fear in the latter's eyes, which made her slightly knit her brows. Could it be that this Sixth Grade Sovereign human actually had other means to confront Bai Ming aside from the silver heart?
She couldn't find an answer after a brief pondering, so she shook her head and placed it down. It didn't matter if Mu Chen had other means or not. As long as they entered the God's Cemetery, no matter how Mu Chen and Bai Ming fought, it wouldn't matter to her. It was fine as long as they maintained their silence and didn't destroy this place.
"Everyone, this is the entrance to the God's Cemetery. But the God's Cemetery is separated into the inner and outer regions. There are no obstructions in the outer region, but there are countless Beast Spirits in there. If you're confident, then you can naturally give it a try."
The beauty looked around as she faintly said, "But if you want to enter the inner region, then you will need some qualifications."
"What qualifications does Fairy Kong Ling have?" A team couldn't help asking.
"She's called Kong Ling?" Mu Chen cast a glance at that woman without any changes in his expression. He could sense a dangerous aura coming from the latter. That woman's strength wasn't any weaker than Bai Ming.
The beauty named Kong Ling had a lustre circulating in her eyes as she spoke in a calm tone, "The qualification is an Eighth Grade Beast Spirit's heart."
Rustle.
Her words instantly caused an uproar in the surroundings and many teams couldn't help changing their faces. An Eighth Grade Beast Spirit's heart … that meant that they would have to kill an Eighth Grade Beast Spirit to enter the inner region?
That was an existence comparable to an Eighth Grade Sovereign!
Aside from those top-tiered teams, who would dare to look for trouble with an Eighth Grade Beast Spirit? Even if they managed to win, they would definitely have to pay a great price.
"An Eighth Grade Beast Spirit's heart?" When Mu Chen heard her words, he slightly knitted his brows as he exchanged a glance with Jiu You and the rest. That qualification wasn't easy. Although an Eighth Grade Beast Spirit didn't have a high intellect, it still possessed the strength of an Eighth Grade Sovereign. If ordinary teams were careless, they would probably be annihilated.
So the number of teams here that could challenge an Eighth Grade Beast Spirit probably didn't exceed ten.
"I wonder what's in the inner region?" Mu Chen's gaze flickered as he suddenly asked.
When the other teams heard his words, they immediately directed their gazes at Kong Ling. Although they knew that the God's Cemetery wasn't an ordinary place, they still had no idea what treasures were in the depths.
Kong Ling cast a glance at Mu Chen with a smile-yet-not-a-smile expression on her face. "You will naturally know what's in there when you're qualified to step in."
There was a trace of ridicule in her words. Clearly, she wasn't optimistic about Mu Chen entering the inner region. Naturally, it might be possible if the latter was willing to use the silver heart. But if that's the case, Bai Ming would probably make a move.
That fellow was much harder to deal with than an Eighth Grade Beast Spirit.
Facing Kong Ling's ridiculing words, Mu Chen wasn't enraged. He gently smiled. "Thanks, let's meet again in the inner region."
Kong Ling was briefly stunned. This fellow was truly confident. She had no idea if he was putting on a brave front or if he really had some trump cards up his sleeves.
"Right now, the deathly aura in the God's Cemetery is the densest. But when dawn arrives, the deathly aura in the God's Cemetery will be at its weakest. At that time, it will be the best time to enter the God's Cemetery."
"Thank you, Fairy Kong Ling."
Many teams cupped their fists and thanked her sincerely. Originally, there was no need for Kong Ling to make things so clear to them. With the status and strength of these top-notch races, they only needed to take care of themselves and then enter the God's Cemetery to obtain the treasures.
Hearing their words, Kong Ling faintly smiled. The reason why she said so much wasn't because she wanted everyone to thank her. It's just that as a member of the Nine-coloured Peacock Clan, the pride in her bones made her feel disdain for others to follow her to their deaths.
After hearing Kong Ling's words, Mu Chen found a rock with Jiu You's party and sat down before closing his eyes to rest. Since they couldn't enter the God's Cemetery right now, they could only wait.
Just when Mu Chen sat down and focused his mind, his gaze suddenly flickered and he unnoticeably glanced at his arm. That's because he could sense that the True Phoenix Spirit that resided in his arm was actually trembling at this moment.
That shock seemed to contain a fear of facing an existence of the same level as him. However, there was also a sliver of intimacy within that fear.
Something that could make the True Phoenix Spirit feel fear and intimacy at the same time?
Mu Chen's heart trembled. Something that could make the True Phoenix Spirit feel intimacy must have a bloodline similar to the True Phoenix. In the Phoenix Clan, there were only two existences that could make the True Phoenix feel intimacy.
The True Phoenix and the Undying Bird.
Since there weren't any rumors of the True Phoenix's death in the God's Cemetery, then it could only be the second possibility.
Mu Chen raised his head and looked at the massive God's Cemetery with a blazing gaze. It looked like the Primordial Undying Bird had truly died here!
