Sizzle!
Torrential flames swept across the heavens and earth with a terrifyingly high temperature spreading out. It was as if even the sky was going to be incinerated at this moment. Standing in the sky, Zhu Yan was like a god of fire, emanating a terrifying pressure.
The moment Zhu Yan made his move, he had revealed his powerful strength. The pressure was even stronger than Jia Louluo. He was truly worthy of being the Overlord of the Expert Ranking.
However, facing the powerful Zhu Yan, Xiao Xiao's expression did not change. On the contrary, she looked at Zhu Yan with a ridiculing gaze and leisurely said, "Are you sure that you guys can deal with my father if he goes to the Fire Spirit Clan?"
Back then, when Emperor Yan roamed the Great Thousand World, he caused a huge mess in the Fire Spirit Clan. In the end, he even forced the Ancestor of the Fire Spirit Clan to awaken, but they still couldn't stop Emperor Yan and could only watch him leave with the Divine Fire. At that time, Emperor Yan was already so terrifying, not to mention now.
At that time, if Emperor Yan came again, even if the Ancestor of the Fire Spirit Clan awakened, he wouldn't be his opponent.
Furthermore, at that time, Emperor Yan did not have any forces. But now, he had established the Endless Fire Territory. Although the Fire Spirit Clan was a supreme force in the Great Thousand World with an ancient foundation, they could definitely suppress the Endless Fire Territory. But if a war broke out, there was a high chance that the Fire Spirit Clan would be annihilated and disappear from the Great Thousand World.
This was something that Zhu Yan was clear about. Although he wasn't willing to admit it, he knew that the flames in the heavens and earth froze for a brief moment.
The rage of Emperor Yan wasn't something that their Fire Spirit Clan could bear.
However.
Although Emperor Yan was terrifying, Zhu Yan wasn't an ordinary person.
He immediately took a deep breath and said, "I'm just inviting you to the Fire Spirit Clan as a guest. I won't hurt you."
Zhu Yan knew that he couldn't do anything to Xiao Xiao, but if he could defeat her and bring her back to the Fire Spirit Clan, he would definitely become the Young Master of the clan.
Hearing this, Xiao Xiao chuckled.
He said, "You want me to go to the Fire Spirit Clan with you? I'm afraid you're not qualified."
Facing the Overlord of the Greatlaw Continent, Xiao Xiao wasn't fearful in the slightest. Her father could completely suppress the Fire Spirit Clan, and as his daughter, even if she hadn't reached that level, she could at least suppress all the geniuses of the Fire Spirit Clan.
Zhu Yan's expression gradually turned grave when he saw Xiao Xiao's nonchalant appearance.
With Xiao Xiao's status, he would be a fool to say that she was easy to deal with.
Facing her, even someone as strong as Zhu Yan couldn't do anything.
He was extremely fearful in the depths of his heart.
"I will fight you in the Ancient Haven Palace." Zhu Yan said after a brief hesitation.
Since he had encountered Xiao Xiao, then he naturally had to make a move.
But it wasn't the best time to make a move right now.
After all, the Heavenly Lake was right before him, so he had to obtain this opportunity before anything else.
"Up to you."
Xiao Xiao still had a lazy appearance. She didn't seem to be worried about Zhu Yan's challenge.
Zhu Yan took a deep look at Xiao Xiao and did not say anything else. He retreated and landed on a nearby mountain.
"Are there any problems?"
Seeing Zhu Yan retreat, Mu Chen asked. The former's strength was truly extraordinary, and he couldn't be underestimated.
Xiao Xiao casually teased the seven-coloured snake and smiled. "It's fine. Leave that fellow to me. I guarantee that he won't have the time to cause trouble for you guys."
She could tell that Mu Chen and the rest seemed to have some conflict with Zhu Yan. Since that fellow had come over, then she would make a move so that Zhu Yan wouldn't have the time to bother Mu Chen and the rest.
Xiao Xiao casually spoke, but Mu Chen and the rest could hear the unwavering confidence in her tone. As the daughter of Yan Emperor, she naturally had her own pride. Since the Fire Spirit Clan knew that they couldn't take back their humiliation from her father, they wanted to gain some confidence from her. Since that's the case, then she wouldn't mind letting them know what it meant to humiliate themselves.
When Mu Chen and the rest heard her words, they nodded their heads. Zhu Yan was powerful, but they also believed in the unfathomable Xiao Xiao.
After the interlude with Zhu Yan, everyone quietly waited. A brief moment later, another person swiftly arrived, and that person wasn't unfamiliar. It was Su Qingyin, who Mu Chen and the rest had previously encountered at the Dragon Ascension Gate.
Su Qingyin was still standing on a ferocious four-winged beetle. She swiftly arrived outside the Heavenly Lake and couldn't help feeling a little surprised when she saw Mu Chen's party.
"Haha, I never expected that you guys would be so swift."
Su Qingyin smiled with her eyes narrowed as she looked at Mu Chen before sweeping her gaze at Lin Jing and Xiao Xiao, whom she had never seen before.
It was especially so for the latter. It caused her heart to tremble slightly because she sensed traces of a dangerous aura from the latter.
"Where did that fellow find such a mysterious expert?"
Su Qingyin muttered in her heart. Lin Jing and Xiao Xiao clearly weren't from the Greatlaw Continent. Otherwise, they wouldn't be so unfamiliar with each other.
Mu Chen calmly nodded his head in response to Su Qingyin's greeting. Although she had only obtained the identity of an Azure Dragon Disciple in the Dragon Ascension Gate, Mu Chen knew that she wouldn't be easy to deal with if they fought.
However, Su Qingyin was also a temperamental person, so Mu Chen didn't intend to get too close to her. Otherwise, it would be troublesome instead.
Su Qingyin had clearly seen through Mu Chen's indifferent attitude, so she flung her lips aside and looked at the boundless Heavenly Lake with splendor flickering in her eyes.
After Su Qingyin, another wave of people arrived. As expected, they were all familiar faces, it was the Xia Empire's party that confronted Mu Chen's party outside the Dragon Island.
But at this moment, this party was in a terrible state with many casualties. Only four to five of them could make it here, but all of their auras weren't weak.
When Xia Yu appeared, he viciously looked at Mu Chen. However, the latter paid no attention to him and still had his eyes closed.
Xia Yu coldly snorted before he cast a glance at Jia Louluo and Zhu Yan's party with his eyes slightly flickering.
After Xia Yu arrived, whooshing sounds could be heard coming from the distance. There were silhouettes that arrived one after another and landed outside the Heavenly Lake.
Those silhouettes weren't weak, with the weakest being in the Pinnacle Ninth Grade Sovereign Realm. Many of them were experts nurtured by top-tiered forces in the Greatlaw Continent. At the same time, there were also some unfamiliar but equally powerful faces that were likely to be from forces outside the Greatlaw Continent.
In just less than an hour, the quiet region of the Heavenly Lake had become bustling with countless boundless Spiritual Energy fluctuations soaring into the sky. Evidently, those that came here weren't the friendly ones.
Rustle.
As more silhouettes gathered over, the boundless Heavenly Lake seemed to have been affected and a clear and crisp sound of water resounded.
As the sound of water resounded, everyone could sense the Spiritual Energy in their bodies fluctuating. It was an extreme thirst. Everyone's Spiritual Energy yearned to enter the Heavenly Lake to be purified and refined. Buzz!
Buzz!
Buzz! As the sound of water resounded, Mu Chen suddenly felt the token on the back of his hand gradually heating up before it turned into a streak of light and soared into the sky.
Rustle!
Rustle!
In other places, the people who had obtained the tokens also had light shooting out from them. In the end, it gathered outside the Heavenly Lake and gradually formed into a huge rune.
When Mu Chen saw this scene, a smear of joy flashed in his eyes. It looked like the tokens of the Nine Mansions had all been gathered here.
As the ancient rune circulated, a beam of light shot towards the seal outside the Heavenly Lake. The seal trembled and the Spiritual Energy between the heavens and earth surged as a crack was gradually torn open on the seal.
Rumble!
Just as the crack was torn open, a thunderous roar resounded from within. A boundless and shocking Spiritual Energy swept out, causing the Spiritual Energy in this region to boil.
"What pure Spiritual Energy."
Sensing the boundless Spiritual Energy that swept out from the crack, Xiao Xiao and the rest couldn't help being shocked.
Furthermore, the Heavenly Lake didn't only contain Spiritual Energy, there were other mysterious energies as well. At this moment, they could clearly sense the Spiritual Energy in their bodies and even the Sovereign Celestial Bodies that they had cultivated were emitting cries of desire.
If he could undergo a baptism in the Heavenly River, then his body, including his Sovereign Celestial Body, would undergo a complete transformation.
Mu Chen couldn't help licking his lips with a blazing light in his eyes. In their Great Heaven Domain, there was also a Greatlaw Goldpond. Back then, when he had just arrived in the Great Heaven Domain, he had used the Greatlaw Goldpond to strengthen his Sovereign Celestial Body. But if the Greatlaw Goldpond was compared to the Heavenly Lake, then it paled in comparison.
"If I can obtain the baptism, then I will definitely be able to lay a firm foundation for my advancement to the Earth Sovereign Realm."
Mu Chen exchanged a look with the rest. In the next instant, they had practically burst out at the same time, heading towards the crack of the seal. The Heavenly Lake was already before them, and no one was willing to give up on this opportunity.
Boom!
The movement of Mu Chen's group had instantly attracted the attention of countless experts in this region. Instantly, whizzing sounds of wind resounded as they charged towards the crack of the seal.
This entire region had boiled up at this moment.
