On the stone stairs, Mu Chen strode up and stepped onto the plaza under Bai Ming's indifferent gaze. He didn't seem to be bothered by those disbelieving gazes and smiled towards Bai Ming. "We're also pretty interested in the inheritance blood essence of the Undying Bird."
Bai Ming gently fanned the ice-blue feathered fan in his hand, forming a cold current that swept out. He did not even look at Mu Chen and nodded his head. "There's nothing much to see in a one-man show. Since there's a clown here, I'm naturally willing to play."
A smear of an arc hung on the corner of his lips, filled with disdain. His words were sharp and harsh, not giving the slightest bit of face to Mu Chen.
Clearly, he had never placed Mu Chen in his eyes from the beginning to the end.
Hearing his disdainful words, a smear of rage flashed in Jiu You's eyes, while Mo Ling was filled with righteous indignation. Although they were furious, they did not speak, since they were also a little worried in their hearts. Although Mu Chen had broken through and stepped into the Seventh Grade Sovereign Realm, no one could guarantee the outcome if he fought with Bai Ming.
Compared to Jiu You and Mo Ling's rage, Mu Chen's youthful face remained calm as he said, "I'm afraid that it's still too early to say who's the clown here."
The ridicule on the corner of Bai Ming's lips grew deeper. This time, he couldn't even be bothered to speak with Mu Chen and treated it as Mu Chen's stubbornness before his death. Thus, he gently waved his feathered fan and closed his eyes.
However, when he closed his eyes, anyone could sense a cold killing intent slowly gathering on the surface of Bai Ming's body.
It was easy to imagine that once he made his move later, he would definitely strike like a bolt of lightning. He would use the fastest speed possible to trample on the person before him like a dead dog. At that time, he would come back to see if the person's face could still maintain such a calm expression.
"You're courting death!"
When Bai Ming closed his eyes, Bai Bin grinned.
He stared at Mu Chen ferociously. He couldn't imagine that this idiot would dare to provoke Bai Ming at this time.
If this fellow knelt down and begged for mercy, and handed over the treasure related to the True Phoenix aura, perhaps Bai Ming would give face to the Sparrow Clan of Jiu You.
He spared his life, but it was too late to say anything now. This idiot had completely enraged Bai Ming, so Bai Bin could already predict that this altar would be destroyed.
It would definitely be the burial place of this human called Mu Chen.
Beside him, Chi Hongwu of the Scarlet Phoenix Clan frowned slightly, and then she inwardly shook her head. In her opinion, Mu Chen's actions of provoking Bai Ming were rather stupid. But since it had already come to this, it was pointless to say anything further. Right now, she could only see if Bai Ming would let Mu Chen go after he obtained what he wanted.
None of the other teams were optimistic about Mu Chen either.
He looked at the latter as if he was looking at a dead man.
"Heh, that brat is truly courageous. If you can survive from Bai Ming, then I, Lu Hou, wouldn't mind sparing your life."
The skinny captain of the Babel Ape Clan smiled with his eyes narrowed at this scene before he laughed out.
He wasn't fond of Bai Ming's arrogance, and he was a little unhappy when no one accepted Bai Ming's challenge. But he never expected that Mu Chen would embarrass Bai Ming in the next moment.
This made him a little shocked, so he spoke out at this moment. Although Bai Ming was powerful, he wasn't afraid of the latter.
However.
Judging from his words, he clearly wasn't optimistic about Mu Chen's provocation towards Bai Ming.
When Lu Hou's laughter rang out, he did not speak any further. His silhouette flashed and appeared on the other side, on a plaza that led to the Ancient Desolate Beast Statue.
He heavily stomped the stone staff in his hand, causing the ground to tremble.
"Mixed bird of the Divine Sky Crane Clan, if you want to snatch the Ancient Desolate Beast Blood Essence Inheritance, then you'll have to get past me first!" Lu Hou laughed. His laughter was arrogant, and it was completely different from his skinny figure.
"I have long wanted to experience the supreme strength of the Babel Ape Clan!"
Hearing Lu Hou's challenge, the captain of the Sky Divine Crane Clan softly chuckled before he tapped his feet and his silhouette mysteriously appeared before Lu Hou. With a clench of his hand, a crimson longsword appeared in a flash. The shape of the longsword was like a crane's beak with a faint fragrance emitting from it, as if it contained an extremely terrifying poison.
As the Babel Ape Clan and Divine Sky Crane Clan stood in confrontation, Zong Qingfeng of the Roc Clan smiled towards Kong Ling of the Nine-Coloured Peacock Clan. "Fairy Kong Ling, the Myriad Spiritual Bird's inheritance blood essence will be obtained by the victor, what do you say?"
"I couldn't ask for more." Kong Ling faintly replied.
The two of them stared at each other as sparks vaguely burst out. They were both elites amongst the younger generation of their respective clans and were usually extremely arrogant. Now that they had encountered each other here, they naturally wanted to fight with all their strength and see who was stronger.
Rustle!
The two of them took a step forth and appeared on another plaza. As they stood in confrontation, boundless Spiritual Energy swept out.
At this moment, the six of them stood in confrontation on the three plazas that led to the three stone statues. Their auras were practically devouring the heavens and earth. As boundless Spiritual Energy swept out, everyone knew how intense the battle that was about to erupt would be.
Naturally, the intense battle naturally didn't include the battle between Mu Chen and Bai Ming. In many people's view, there wasn't any suspense in the battle between the two of them.
On the plaza that led to the Undying Bird's stone statue, Bai Ming slowly opened his eyes as he looked at Mu Chen without any emotions in his eyes. He did not speak any nonsense, but everyone could see a boundless ice-blue current sweeping out from his body, forming into a tornado that enveloped him.
Mu Chen looked at Bai Ming, who had a shocking bearing, and his gaze turned a little grave. Although Bai Ming was hateful, he had to admit that he was powerful. As a genius of the Ice Phoenix Clan, he had the qualifications to be arrogant.
"I will turn you into an ice statue and leave you in this cemetery."
Bai Ming's indifferent voice resounded. In the next instant, he stomped his feet and a visible cold current burst out. The temperature in this region dropped and a thick layer of ice instantly spread out on the plaza. It was like a cold current that was devouring towards Mu Chen.
Buzz!
A dazzling golden light burst out from Mu Chen's body and the True Dragon and Phoenix Spirits that resided on the surface of his skin were completely awakened. The True Dragon and Phoenix resided on his right arm as he threw a fist forth.
Boom!
That fist had directly shattered the space before it as an indescribably frightening power swept out. In the end, it had forcefully slammed against the icy cold current that was charging over.
Boom!
The two ferociously clashed together, causing the entire plaza to violently tremble. Mu Chen took a few steps back and every single step would leave a deep imprint on the ground.
When his feet left the eighth imprint, a cold light shot out from Mu Chen's black pupils as he clenched his fist and slammed against the cold current of ice once again.
Crack!
Visible cracks swiftly spread out from Mu Chen's fist and in just a few breaths' time, it had already spread out the massive ice current. In the end, there was a huge explosion as the cold current that could drown a pinnacle level Seventh Grade Sovereign exploded, turning into ice fragments that fluttered in the sky.
When everyone saw this scene, they squinted their eyes and inwardly smacked their lips. They could naturally tell that the physical strength of Mu Chen's fist was something that even a Seventh Grade Sovereign wouldn't be able to endure.
Ice fragments fluttered in the sky as Mu Chen's body surged with a golden light. Clearly, he had pushed the Dragon-Phoenix Physique to the limits. Every single move of his could cause a volcanic energy to gather.
"Heh, what powerful brute force!"
Bai Ming's silhouette appeared in a flash in the sky as he looked at the ice fragments that were shattered by Mu Chen and sneered, "My ice is not so easily destroyed."
As he finished speaking, he waved his sleeves and the ice shards that blotted the sky swept down like a myriad of arrows, howling towards Mu Chen from every direction.
Mu Chen formed seals with both of his hands and the True Dragon and Phoenix Spirits flew out of his body, forming into a Dragon-Phoenix Barrier that protected his body. No matter how sharp the ice fragments swept, they couldn't break through his defences.
When Bai Ming saw this scene in the sky, his gaze turned even colder. The strength of Mu Chen's physical body had indeed exceeded his expectations. Even a pinnacle level Seventh Grade Sovereign would be forced to retreat from his previous attacks. However, Mu Chen had managed to withstand all of them.
Since that fellow dared to provoke him, he did have some ability. But did he think that this would be enough?
Bai Ming ridiculed as he formed seals with a single hand and a chill gradually gathered in his eyes.
Since that's the case, then I can barely have some fun with you.
Boom!
It was as if a volcano had suddenly erupted as a terrifying Spiritual Energy soared into the sky, causing the sky to turn cold at this moment. Vaguely, there were countless ice fragments gathering in the sky.
Bai Ming stood in the sky as he looked down at Mu Chen with a cold smile hanging on the corner of his lips. The powerful Spiritual Energy pressure had caused the faces of many experts to slightly change.
That's because that Spiritual Energy had far exceeded the Seventh Grade Sovereign Realm.
It was the genuine power of an Eighth Grade Sovereign Realm!
Boundless Spiritual Energy wreaked havoc in the horizon like a storm. Bai Ming clenched his fist and a cold Spiritual Energy whistled over. In just a few breaths' time, it had formed into a myriad foot tall ice mountain. The ice mountain was shaped like a phoenix that had spread its wings. It was covered in profound runes and every single rune was flickering with light, constantly absorbing the Spiritual Energy between the heavens and earth.
When everyone saw the ice mountain, they felt their scalps going numb. Clearly, they had sensed how shocking Bai Ming's attack was. That fellow was simply not giving Mu Chen any chance of survival. The moment he made his move, he had thoroughly unleashed the strength of an Eighth Grade Sovereign.
Mu Chen would probably be suppressed to the point that he wouldn't be able to turn the situation around.
Bai Ming's gaze was indifferent as if he was a deity looking down. Shortly after, he flipped his palm and the ice mountain suddenly descended. It was like a meteorite as it ruthlessly pressed towards Mu Chen.
"Ice Phoenix Scripture - Myriad Beasts of Phoenix Mountain!"
