When the azure statue fell into Garuda's hand, it raised waves in Mu Chen's heart as he looked at the statue with unconcealable shock on his face.
"Hehe, are you curious about what this is?"
Seeing the rare shock on Mu Chen's face, Garuda gently smiled with ridicule in his eyes, akin to a cat toying with a mouse.
Knitting his brows, Mu Chen did not reply.
However, Jia Louluo wasn't bothered about it as he tossed the statue in the air. "This was bestowed to me by the Palace Master. It's said that there was an outstanding disciple in the Ancient Haven Palace that tried to cultivate the Great Solar Undying Body, but in the end, he failed and his Great Solar Undying Body was turned into this."
"This item doesn't have any effect on others, but it's a miraculous item for those like us that have cultivated the Great Solar Undying Body. As long as the Great Solar Undying Body absorbs it, it will temporarily increase the power of the Great Solar Undying Body."
Mu Chen's face slightly changed. So this was what Jia Louluo was planning!
"I'm really sorry, but it looks like I'll be the one laughing in the end."
Jia Louluo smiled towards Mu Chen before tossing the statue out without any hesitation. The black Great Solar Undying Body opened its mouth and sucked it in.
Boom!
Boom!
When the azure statue fell into the mouth of the Great Solar Undying Body, its massive figure trembled before it started to expand at a visible speed. In just a few breaths' time, it had grown several times bigger. Furthermore, the Spiritual Energy fluctuation that emanated from its body had also reached a terrifying height.
Buzz!
Buzz! A terrifying Spiritual Energy fluctuation swept out.
It had actually suppressed the Great Solar Undying Body beneath Mu Chen's feet to the point that the golden lustre was constantly being retracted.
Practically three-quarters of the region was covered in black light.
Mu Chen's expression.
At this moment, his expression had turned extremely grave.
"Supreme Divine Ability, Nine Yang Devil Cave!"
Jia Louluo laughed heartily towards the sky. With a roar, the nine black suns rose and turned into an incomparably huge black hole. The depth of the black hole had already reached the limit. From afar, it looked as if a black hole was being formed.
He wanted to devour everything in this world.
This time, the power of the Nine Yang Devil Cave that Jia Louluo executed had probably surpassed a normal Minor Divine Skill!
Facing this move, Perfected Ninth Grade Sovereigns would probably devour all of them. Even Lesser Earth Sovereigns would have to retract their contempt.
"Mu Chen, go to hell!
Your Great Solar Undying Body.
Become a stepping stone for my advancement! "
Jia Louluo couldn't stop laughing. Now that the situation had developed to this point, he was clearly very close to victory.
He was only one step away.
Garuda looked at Mu Chen in an attempt to see the fear on the latter's face, but he was briefly stunned.
At this moment, Mu Chen's face, which had originally been a little shaken by the cyan stone statue, suddenly changed.
It actually calmed down again.
"You're still trying to play tricks on me at a time like this?
How reckless! "Jia Louluo's eyes darkened as he laughed sinisterly.
However, Mu Chen wasn't bothered by his ridicule and deeply breathed out a mouthful of air. He looked at the black hole that was emitting a terrifying might with a smear of astonishment in his eyes.
"I didn't expect you to be able to use the power of the nine suns to such an extent."
Jia Louluo sneered, "This level of strength is already the limit of the Great Solar Undying Body, so it has been proven that only I am qualified to advance to the Immortal Golden Body!"
"It's already the limit?"
Mu Chen muttered to himself. Shortly after, a smile rose on his handsome face. He raised his head and looked at Jia Louluo. "I'm afraid that's not the case."
Jia Louluo's expression changed. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Mu Chen's voice. "At your level, even if you borrow the power of the stone statue, it's only nine suns."
"And the limit of the Great Solar Undying Body might not be nine suns."
Jia Louluo smiled coldly. "Nine suns isn't the limit?
Heh, you fool, the Great Solar Undying Body has given birth to nine Great Solar Seeds, and now both you and I have ignited all of them. You say this isn't the limit? Don't tell me you can still create a tenth sun for me?! "
The moment the Great Solar Undying Body was cultivated, nine Great Sun Seeds would be born in the body. This was the Sovereign Ability of the Great Solar Undying Body. But now, Mu Chen said that nine suns wasn't the limit. Then where was the limit?
"The tenth sun!"
Mu Chen looked at Jia Louluo with a strange smile on his face. "Isn't that the tenth sun?"
Jia Louluo's gaze followed Mu Chen's gaze and his heart trembled. Because what Mu Chen was looking at was the dazzling sun behind the head of the Great Solar Undying Body!
Jia Louluo's face was dark, then he smiled angrily. "Are you really an idiot?
That day was just the Spiritual Energy of the Great Solar Undying Body! "
It wasn't that he hadn't tried to probe that day, but it was to no avail. Because any Spiritual Energy he poured into it would only make the sun brighter.
Therefore, in Jia Louluo's view, that day was only used to maintain the majestic and mysterious appearance of the Great Solar Undying Body.
"Is that so?"
When Mu Chen heard this, he smiled strangely and no longer spoke. He sat down on the head of the Great Solar Undying Body and formed seals with his hands.
Buzz!
That also meant that in that instant when he formed his seals, the golden sun behind the head of the Great Solar Undying Body had actually emitted a buzzing noise before a myriad of golden lustre gushed out and swiftly seized back the land that was occupied by the demonic cave. Furthermore, even with the demonic cave's overbearingness, it couldn't devour the golden lustre this time.
A terrifying and heart-palpitating Spiritual Energy fluctuation erupted from the golden sun.
That level of Spiritual Energy made even Jia Louluo's scalp go numb as he exclaimed, "How can you possess such terrifying Spiritual Energy?"
Mu Chen calmly replied, "Weren't you guys curious about why my Perfect Baptism in the Heavenly Lake was so ordinary?"
Jia Louluo was briefly stunned before his face drastically changed. "You … you poured the power of the Perfect Baptism into that day?
You lunatic! "
"The amount of Spiritual Energy required to activate the tenth sun far exceeds your imagination." Mu Chen faintly smiled. "Although the Perfect Baptism can allow my strength to improve, it cannot allow me to step into the Earth Sovereign Realm. Since that's the case, why don't I use that bit of improvement to gamble if my guess is correct?"
That's right, Mu Chen only had some guesses about the tenth sun. He wasn't too sure about it in the beginning, but he still did it.
Jia Louluo's face distorted. It was unimaginable for him to give up the Perfect Baptism for an uncertain matter.
But what made him lose his rationale was that Mu Chen actually won the gamble and managed to activate the tenth sun!
Looking at the dazzling golden sun, Jia Louluo finally felt a smear of fear in his heart.
"You're trying to play tricks on me, trying to shake my mind. Die!"
But in the end, Jia Louluo roared with a sinister expression. At this moment, he no longer had any path of retreat. So even if it was a path of death, he could only charge through it.
Thus, his seals changed and the demonic hole that enveloped the heavens and earth violently whistled down, devouring Mu Chen.
The demonic cavern whistled over with countless black auras that were like smoke signals, shattering space. Taking a deep breath, Mu Chen's face turned solemn as he formed seals with both of his hands.
Buzz!
Buzz! Nine golden suns rose from the Great Solar Undying Body, separating from the Celestial Body and hovered in the surroundings.
The largest golden sun was at the centre with nine other suns revolving around it, akin to stars revolving around the moon.
Buzz!
Their revolutions started to accelerate and the nine golden suns clashed with the tenth sun. Thereafter, a huge noise resounded and an indescribable golden light spread out.
The entire heavens and earth became dazzling with golden light.
As the golden light spread out, Mu Chen's indifferent voice abruptly resounded, "Sovereign Ability - Ten Solar Power."
"Ten Solar Divine Buddha Hand!
When Mu Chen's voice resounded, an indescribable golden hand stretched out from the endless golden light. That hand was engraved with ten golden suns. The hand looked as if it was forged from gold, looking flawless. When others looked at it, they couldn't shift their eyes away.
Looking from afar, it looked as if the hand of a deity was descending from the heavens, along with an indescribable pressure that enveloped out.
The golden hand stretched out and grasped the incomparably huge demonic hole. Then, it lightly squeezed it.
Boom!
The demonic hole that caused Mu Chen to be fearful of was akin to a fragile egg at this moment. It shattered with a bang and a violent black Spiritual Energy burst out. However, it couldn't shake the golden hand in the slightest. On the contrary, it swiftly dissipated under the suppression of the golden light.
This was a terrifying power that could crush everything in its path!
Poof!
When the demonic hole was crushed, Jia Louluo spewed a mouthful of blood with fear and astonishment in his eyes. He clearly couldn't imagine that his all-out attack would be so easily crushed.
Flee!
That thought flashed in Jia Louluo's heart as his face turned pale. He was in an extremely pathetic state. He already understood that he had lost this confrontation. If he didn't flee now, he would definitely die.
Just when that thought flashed in his heart, Jia Louluo immediately retreated in a pathetic state.
But just when he retreated, the sky suddenly lit up and he saw a flawless golden hand penetrating through the void and gently patted down towards him.
