Roar!
An incomparably gigantic Spiritual Array enveloped the sky above the ancient plaza, seemingly covering the heavens and earth. At this moment, a giant dragon was gradually taking shape in the centre of the array. Occupying the Spiritual Array, it breathed in and out, causing a Spiritual Energy storm to sweep out, causing the surrounding space to tremble.
That dragon was dark-yellow in colour and there wasn't any intellect in its eyes. However, it emanated a powerful and violent lustre of Spiritual Energy that Mu Chen could sense from the Spiritual Energy fluctuation emanating from its body.
It was a genuine Perfected Ninth Grade Sovereign Realm!
Sensing this energy, Mu Chen felt heavily relieved. The Nine Dragon God-Killing Array was truly a Scholar Grade Spiritual Array. Even if it was incomplete, the power that it could unleash was still terrifying.
According to Mu Chen's estimations, if this incomplete Nine Dragon God-Killing Array could be perfectly activated, it should be able to summon three to four Perfected Ninth Grade Sovereigns. However, Mu Chen clearly couldn't achieve that, so he was already satisfied that he could summon one.
"If it's the complete Nine Dragon God-Killing Array, it would be nine Perfected Ninth Grade Sovereigns. At that time, even a Lesser Earth Sovereign would have a headache facing it." A smile appeared on the corner of Mu Chen's lips. This Nine Dragon God-Killing Array was truly extraordinary.
After summoning the dragons, Mu Chen felt relieved and raised his head to look at the Golden Dragon Disciple. "Please guide me."
Standing on the pillar, the black-robed Golden Dragon Disciple's expression turned grave. Evidently, he had also sensed the power of the Spiritual Array before him.
"As you wish."
Slowly raising the long black spear in his hand, he pointed it towards the giant dragon within the Spiritual Array. In the next instant, his figure had already transformed into a black streak of light as he abruptly charged into the Spiritual Array. As the myriad spear light whistled out, it pierced towards the giant dragon.
Roar!
The dragon roared towards the sky and charged out fearlessly under Mu Chen's control with violent Spiritual Energy gushing towards the Golden Dragon Disciple.
Boom!
Within the gigantic Spiritual Array, two figures, one big and one small, clashed. In an instant, earth-shattering noises resounded as violent Spiritual Energy ripples swept out, causing the surrounding space to continuously distort and distort.
Mu Chen wore a grave expression as he watched the battle in the Spiritual Array. He realised that he had underestimated the Golden Dragon Disciple. Even if he had summoned a Perfected Ninth Grade Dragon through the Nine Dragon God-Killing Array, the Golden Dragon Disciple still held the upper hand.
On the other hand, if it weren't for Mu Chen's spiritual array that constantly replenished its spiritual power, it would have been pierced by the golden-metal dragon disciple's spear.
"As expected of a golden dragon disciple!"
Mu Chen sighed as he abruptly stomped his foot. Countless Spiritual Seals whistled out from his sleeves and swiftly formed another Heavenly Circulation Stellar Array in the sky.
Buzz!
As the stars flickered, they fell one after another, smashing towards the Golden Dragon Disciple.
Boom!
As the stars fell, the Golden Dragon Disciple had no choice but to slow down its attacks against the dragon and unleashed a counterattack with its spear, destroying the stars.
Thus, under Mu Chen's interference, the Golden Dragon Disciple had no choice but to fall into the pincer attack of the dragon and Mu Chen's Spiritual Arrays, gradually falling into a stalemate.
Looking at the Golden Dragon Disciple, Mu Chen's gaze flickered before he sat down and waved his hand. Another current of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid appeared around him.
Judging from the amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid, it probably contained at least a million drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid.
"How troublesome, I can only be a little more rogue."
Mu Chen raised his head to look at the Golden Dragon Disciple and lightly smiled. Shortly after, his seals changed and Spiritual Seals swept out in every direction.
While Mu Chen was exhausting a large amount of Spiritual Energy to refine the Spiritual Seals, the Sovereign Spiritual Liquid that revolved around him was endlessly pouring into his body, replenishing his Spiritual Energy.
As the Spiritual Seals gathered, another massive Spiritual Array was slowly being formed. It was another Nine Dragon God-Killing Array!
But the second Nine Dragon God-Killing Array was evidently more time-consuming and Spiritual Energy. After all, Mu Chen needed some external help to succeed. Thus, the time required for the second Nine Dragon God-Killing Array was twice as long as before.
When the second Nine Dragon God-Killing Array was formed, the massive dragon in the first Nine Dragon God-Killing Array had shrunk to half its original size. Clearly, it had suffered heavy injuries from the clash with the Golden Dragon Disciple.
At the sight of this, Mu Chen's gaze flickered. The massive dragon suddenly roared towards the sky and charged forth without any fear of death. When it came in contact with the Golden Dragon Disciple, it had exploded.
Boom!
A violent Spiritual Energy shock wave wreaked havoc and even the first Nine Dragon God-Killing Array was destroyed. The Golden Dragon Disciple had also suffered considerable injuries from the explosion and his powerful Spiritual Energy had been greatly weakened.
However, before that Gold Dragon Disciple could adjust himself, another dragon roar resounded, and then a huge dragon that bared its fangs and brandished its claws had taken form within the 2nd Nine Dragon God-Killing Formation, and then it charged at that Gold Dragon Disciple.
Looking at the massive dragon that charged over, the Golden Dragon Disciple's expression became a little interesting. It clearly did not expect that it would encounter such a rogue challenger.
It was obvious that they were trying to exhaust it to death through attrition!
Facing such means, even if the Golden Dragon Disciple's fighting strength was extraordinary, it would still be exhausted in the end. On the other hand, Mu Chen only needed to pay the Sovereign Spiritual Liquid to endlessly set up Spiritual Arrays.
But in this current situation, there was no one that could interfere with Mu Chen.
Therefore, what was originally thought to be the toughest challenge had turned into an exceptionally comical one. As the challenger, Mu Chen did not show any signs of fighting with his life on the line. Instead, he hid far away and continued to prepare his Spiritual Arrays.
He couldn't control two Nine Dragon God-Killing Arrays at the same time, so he could only wait for one to explode before controlling the second Spiritual Array.
Although it was a rogue tactic, it was still within the rules. Thus, Mu Chen did not receive any obstruction. As time passed, the Spiritual Energy around the Golden Dragon Disciple was constantly weakening.
When the fourth dragon exploded, cracks appeared on the Golden Dragon Disciple's body and a lustre vaguely shot out from those cracks.
When Mu Chen, who was covered in sweat, saw this scene, he couldn't help feeling relieved. His hands were constantly trembling. Evidently, it was a great exhaustion for him to constantly set up such Spiritual Arrays.
At this moment, he was even seeing stars. After all, it wasn't as simple as exhausting his Spiritual Energy to set up such a complicated Spiritual Array. If he was exhausted, he might even faint.
"Sorry for the offense."
Mu Chen waved his hand, dispelling the Nine Dragon God-Killing Array. The Golden Dragon Disciple was already an arrow at the end of its flight and no longer posed a threat.
At this moment, he had finally succeeded in his challenge.
At this moment, Mu Chen finally understood that Su Qingyin should also be qualified to become a Golden Dragon Disciple. It's just that the price would probably be the death of some powerful Spiritual Insects.
Su Qingyin was clearly unwilling about this.
Up in the sky, the Golden Dragon Disciple cupped his fists towards Mu Chen. "Congratulations on becoming a Golden Dragon Disciple of my Ancient Haven Palace."
As he spoke, a lustre blossomed from his body, turning into sparkles of light as they dissipated. Those sparkles of light gathered before Mu Chen and formed into an ancient token.
There was a golden dragon coiling on the token that emanated a powerful pressure.
The Golden Dragon Token!
Huff!
Looking at the Golden Dragon Token, Mu Chen's body instantly felt paralyzed and fell down. He could feel his muscles twitching. It was a great burden for him to set up so many Nine Dragon God-Killing Arrays.
Furthermore, he had paid a price of nearly 3,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid.
But it was all worth it to exchange for the identity of a Golden Dragon Disciple.
When Mu Chen fell down, space fluctuated before a beam of light enveloped Mu Chen's body and entered a spatial crack.
Mu Chen knew that he had successfully completed the Dragon Ascension Gate's trial.
Outside the Dragon Ascension Gate
The commotion still resounded in this region, but many people were looking at the Dragon Ascension Gate with astonished gazes. That's because they realised that Mu Chen had been in there for a little too long.
He had been in there longer than anyone else.
This made them feel uncertain in their hearts. What did Mu Chen encounter for him to be delayed for so long?
But no matter how they guessed, they never expected that Mu Chen would be challenging a Golden Dragon Disciple.
Only Su Qingyin slightly knitted her brows with uneasiness in her heart.
Buzz!
While everyone was guessing in their hearts, the Dragon Ascension Gate, which had been quiet for a long time, finally moved and a lustre burst out, forming into a silhouette in the sky.
That silhouette was naturally Mu Chen.
However, just when their gazes swept towards Mu Chen, their pupils abruptly narrowed as they saw a massive golden pillar of light abruptly soar into the sky from Mu Chen's body, as if it had pierced through the heavens and earth.
Outside the golden pillar, there was a golden dragon coiling around it.
The commotion in this region instantly quietened down with everyone's expressions frozen. After a long time, dense shock and disbelief surged in the depths of their eyes.
"That, that's a Golden Dragon Disciple?
How is that possible?! "
