When the black beam of light that pierced through the horizon collided with the ice phoenix, the entire world instantly turned dark. In that instant, it was as if even the heavens and earth were afraid of that frightening impact.
The bombardment did not have the loud sound that everyone had imagined. Instead, there was a silence that caused one's heart to palpitate. However, this silence did not last for long. Everyone saw an extremely wild and violent cold current suddenly erupt from within the darkness.
Crack!
In the path of the cold shock wave, the sky had instantly frozen, turning into a world of ice. However, this ice wasn't the icy-blue from before, but a dark-black colour that contained two terrifying energies.
As the violent cold current swept out, the massive altar was covered in a thick layer of frost. Only the other two battlefields on the altar had similarly boundless Spiritual Energy erupting from them, blocking the cold current that was sweeping over.
Being affected by such a shockwave, the intense battles of Kong Ling, Zong Qingfeng and the rest were momentarily slowed down as they raised their heads in shock, looking at the source of the terrifying shock wave.
"That Mu Chen can actually confront Bai Ming?"
When the four of them saw this scene, their hearts trembled and their faces gradually turned grave. In the past, perhaps none of them had treated Mu Chen as an expert on the same level as them. Therefore, they didn't think that Mu Chen would have any good ending for provoking Bai Ming. But this scene had clearly made them understand that they had misjudged him.
Kong Ling's gaze flickered as she inwardly shook her head. Mu Chen was truly unexpected. But fortunately, she didn't have any grudges with him. Otherwise, it would be troublesome to have such an enemy.
"Heh, looks like there's no need for my help. That brat can keep his life." Lu Hou of the Babel Ape Clan grinned in self-ridicule. He had previously said that even if Mu Chen lost, he would still be able to keep his life.
But judging from the current situation, Mu Chen clearly didn't need it.
Zong Qingfeng of the Roc Clan had also cast a deep glance at Mu Chen's silhouette.
In fact, he had long heard that there seemed to be some conflict between Zong Teng and Mu Chen. Previously, Zong Teng even sent a message asking for his help. His original plan was to help if there was a convenient opportunity.
But looking at the current situation, it was better to give up on this thought and warn Zong Teng that it was best not to provoke this ruthless person.
"Judging from the combat strength that Mu Chen has displayed, he should be able to delay Bai Ming for some time. Heh, that's fine. Even if he can't stop him, at least he can't smoothly obtain the inheritance blood essence of the Phoenix."
"Damn it!"
While everyone else was thinking about this, up in the dark sky.
Bai Ming looked into the distance with a gloomy expression. The black beam of light and the ice phoenix had occupied half of the sky, crazily corroding each other in an attempt to destroy the other. But in the end, neither of them seemed to have succeeded, so the situation was in a stalemate.
But this stalemate was obviously not what Bai Ming wanted to see.
He couldn't believe that with his cultivation at the Eighth Grade Sovereign Realm and the power of a Quasi-Saint Artifact, he couldn't even kill a mere Seventh Grade Sovereign human brat.
"You want to defeat me today?
You're simply dreaming! "
A cold light flickered in Bai Ming's eyes as his seals changed. The cold current that gushed out from the Spiritual Fan of the Ice Phoenix had instantly surged.
It endlessly swept out in an attempt to destroy the destructive black beam of light.
Standing on the Great Solar Undying Body, Mu Chen could also sense that the pressure coming from the ice phoenix was getting stronger. Clearly, Bai Ming was constantly increasing his Spiritual Energy in an attempt to obtain victory.
"You're underestimating the attack that I paid with 1,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid."
But facing this,
A ridiculing smile rose on the corner of Mu Chen's lips. Every single activation of the Life-Extinguishing Pupil would require a large amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid, which even made Mu Chen feel heartache. But the only thing that comforted him was that after absorbing such a large amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid, the attack of the Life-Extinguishing Pupil was indeed worth it.
Thinking about it, Mu Chen no longer hesitated. With a will in his heart, the black vertical eye on his forehead suddenly blossomed with black halos.
There seemed to be black profound runes that were condensing within.
Whoosh!
A faint black light shot out from the Life Extinguishing Eye and merged with the destructive black light that was confronting the huge ice phoenix at lightning speed. Immediately, the destructive light expanded with the wind and a frightening black shock wave unfurled, causing the surrounding space to shake until cracks appeared.
"Break."
A faint voice resounded from Mu Chen's mouth.
Boom!
In that instant when that voice left his mouth, the terrifying black beam of light was like the decree of the God of Destruction. The black light trembled and pierced through the massive ice phoenix at that moment.
A massive black hole appeared on the body of the ice phoenix. Furthermore, the darkness was constantly corroding the body of the ice phoenix, causing it to gradually turn into darkness.
In that instant when the ice phoenix was pierced, Bai Ming's face drastically changed with disbelief filling his eyes. The ultimate attack that he had unleashed with the Ice Phoenix Spiritual Fan was not only resisted by Mu Chen, it was even broken through?
"How is this possible?!" Bai Ming roared with a savage expression with his face distorted.
Whoosh!
However, Mu Chen wasn't bothered about his feelings. After piercing through the ice phoenix, the black beam of light that was condensed with 1,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid had clearly exhausted a large amount of its energy. But in the end, it did not completely dissipate. With a will in his heart, the black beam of light abruptly made a turn and swept towards Bai Ming.
He clearly intended to take this opportunity to deal with the latter.
"You want to kill me?
Dream on! "
When Bai Ming saw this scene, his eyes narrowed as he barked and stomped his feet. Instantly, a storm-like Spiritual Energy swept out from his body and formed into a massive ice phoenix behind him. On the body of the phoenix, ice crystals flickered with a dazzling lustre and a powerful pressure was being emitted.
Bai Ming had been forced to reveal his Divine Beast form.
Bai Ming's silhouette moved and appeared on the body of the ice phoenix. Shortly after, he clenched his hand and the Ice Phoenix Spiritual Fan appeared in his hand with a cold current surging on it, flickering with an icy-blue lustre.
"Ice Phoenix Protection!"
The ice fan in Bai Ming's hand trembled and an icy-blue current gushed out. The ice phoenix beneath his feet had also spewed a torrential current at this moment.
In the blink of an eye, it had formed into a thousand-foot ice barrier that protected him within.
Boom!
The destructive beam of light pierced through and heavily slammed against the ice barrier.
Instantly, cracking noises rang out and cracks swiftly spread out, swiftly affecting the entire ice barrier.
Boom!
The ice barrier, which had been held up to the limits, shattered in the end. Bai Ming, who stood on the ice phoenix, also suffered some impact and spat out a mouthful of blood.
His face became extremely gloomy.
Rustle.
When the experts on the altar saw this scene, they couldn't help sucking in a cold breath. No one expected that in the confrontation between Mu Chen and Bai Ming, the latter would be the first to be injured.
"How? How is this possible?!" Bai Bin's face instantly turned pale at this scene.
Beside him, Chi Hongwu had a solemn expression on her pretty face. At this moment.
At this moment, if anyone dared to treat Mu Chen as an ordinary Seventh Grade Sovereign, then they would truly be a fool.
This time, Bai Ming had finally kicked an iron plate.
Standing on the Great Solar Undying Body, Mu Chen looked at Bai Ming, who had spat out blood. There weren't many ripples on his face, but he felt a little regretful. Bai Ming's reaction was too quick. The moment he realised that the situation wasn't right, he had already put forth all his strength to defend. The mouthful of blood had only suffered a slight impact.
On the contrary, his Life-Extinguishing Divine Light had been completely nullified.
The million drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid had been completely exhausted, but the effect that he had obtained was
However, it only caused Bai Ming to suffer light injuries.
That fellow was truly troublesome to deal with.
On the ice phoenix, Bai Ming slowly wiped the blood off the corner of his lips as he looked at Mu Chen with a dark gaze and said in a hoarse voice, "How many more of those attacks can you unleash?"
Mu Chen's attacks were too terrifying.
But he knew that there must be a great limit to those powerful attacks. Otherwise, no one would be able to endure it if Mu Chen unleashed a few more of those attacks.
"Why don't you give it a try?" Mu Chen smiled.
"I'll give it a try!"
Bai Ming eerily smiled as he abruptly stomped his feet. The ice phoenix beneath his feet flapped its wings and flew out. As it flapped its wings, a myriad foot long current swept towards the Great Solar Undying Body.
Boom!
The Great Solar Undying Body had also charged forth at this moment. A golden lustre swept out in every direction, resisting the terrifying cold current. After that, boundless attacks endlessly flew out.
Up in the sky, a golden lustre whistled as the two massive silhouettes constantly clashed together. The impact caused the heavens and earth to tremble. Above the two massive silhouettes, there were two silhouettes that swiftly intertwined. The Spiritual Energy in their bodies had been circulated to the limits and their speed was as swift as lightning, leaving behind afterimages in the sky.
In just a few minutes, the two of them had already clashed a few hundred times. Every single confrontation felt as if it would tear the heavens and earth apart. It was extremely terrifying.
On the altar, everyone was dumbfounded as they watched the intense battle. The killing intent and boundless Spiritual Energy emanating from the two of them made their hearts palpitate.
Right now, the two of them were clearly fighting with bloodshot eyes.
Boom!
Up in the sky, the fist of the Great Solar Undying Body clashed with the wings of the ice phoenix. On the other hand, Mu Chen had also sent a palm forth, clashing with Bai Ming's ice fist.
Shock waves wreaked havoc as the two of them were forced to retreat. The Spiritual Energy around them fluctuated, looking a little chaotic. Evidently, it was caused by the impact.
This intense battle was clearly on par with each other.
"Damn it!
Damn it! "
But this stalemate made Bai Ming's eyes turn even redder. With his pride, he couldn't bear the fact that he was entangled by a Seventh Grade Sovereign human.
"No matter what price I have to pay, I will make you die here today!" Bai Ming roared with torrential killing intent surging from his body.
Looking at the ferocious Bai Ming, Mu Chen's face slightly changed and his gaze turned cautious.
He knew that with Bai Ming's strength and identity, how could he not have any trump cards? The reason why Bai Ming didn't use them earlier was because he couldn't bear to use them. But now that he was forced to retreat, he probably couldn't endure it any longer.
Bai Ming's eyes turned red with torrential killing intent as he fixed his gaze on Mu Chen. Shortly after, he stomped his feet and the ice phoenix beneath his feet issued a mournful cry, before spurting a mouthful of blood essence.
The blood essence contained boundless Spiritual Energy.
Bai Ming pointed with his finger and the Ice Phoenix Spiritual Fan in his hand flew up. It was like a huge mouth that had directly devoured the blood essence.
His face had instantly turned pale.
The originally ice-blue Spiritual Fan gradually turned blood red at this moment. Blood coloured veins protruded from the surface of the fan. Faintly, it appeared a little bloody and sinister.
Bai Ming looked at the changes of the Spiritual Fan and his roar resounded throughout the horizon.
"Phoenix Blood Sacrificial Spirit!"
