It was a desolate mountain range with not a single blade of grass growing. It was as if it had been affected by a destructive power. Even after tens of thousands of years, it was still lifeless.
Buzz!
At this moment, space suddenly distorted above the mountain range before a slender silhouette walked out and stood in the sky.
That silhouette was naturally Mu Chen, who had left the Hidden Scripture Pavilion. After evolving the Great Solar Undying Body into the Immortal Golden Body, there was no longer a need for him to stay here.
Mu Chen walked out and swept his gaze out. He looked at the desolate mountain range and was slightly stunned. Shortly after, a smear of graveness appeared on his face. That's because he could vaguely sense that there was an extremely terrifying remnant energy in this mountain range.
It seemed to be two completely different powers that were in confrontation.
"What terrifying power!"
Mu Chen's face slightly changed. It was just some remnant power that had experienced tens of thousands of years, but he never expected that it would still be so terrifying.
It was precisely because of this that the owner of the two powers was self-evident.
Aside from the Heavenly Emperor of the Ancient Haven Palace and the Monarch of the Fiend Clans, who else could possess such destructive power?
"So this is how terrifying it is?"
Mu Chen sighed as he carefully flew forth. He did not dare to land on the ground, fearing that he might trigger the remnant power and bring disaster to himself.
He swiftly flew across the desolate mountain range and his gaze suddenly flickered.
He raised his head and looked into the distance.
Several rays of light flashed past. Those rays of light were extremely powerful.
Those silhouettes had extremely familiar Spiritual Energy fluctuations.
"Hey, Mu Chen!"
When Mu Chen sensed those silhouettes, the latter had also sensed it and immediately stopped. Thereafter, a joyous voice resounded from afar, which naturally came from Lin Jing.
Mu Chen lightly smiled as his silhouette flickered and appeared before those silhouettes.
As he swept his gaze over, he saw Lin Jing, Xiao Xiao, and Jiu You gathered together.
"You're really slow. I thought something had happened to you." Lin Jing was clearly happy to see that Mu Chen and An Ran were fine.
"It seems like all of you have gained quite a lot." Mu Chen smiled. He glanced at the three women and saw that they all looked happy.
It was obvious that he had obtained a satisfactory harvest.
"Hmm?"
Mu Chen's gaze swept over the three of them, and then he suddenly froze. His gaze was a little strange as he looked at a place not far behind the three women.
There was another figure following them at a leisurely pace.
That figure was also extremely familiar. He had a head of fiery red hair. Apart from Zhu Yan, he was also very familiar.
Who else could it be?
When Zhu Yan sensed Mu Chen's gaze, his expression became a little unnatural.
However, he still followed them, but he didn't get too close.
"What is he doing?" Mu Chen asked in astonishment.
They didn't seem to be familiar with Zhu Yan, so why did he seem to be following them?
Hearing Mu Chen's question, Xiao Xiao's rosy lips couldn't help but twitch. Her beautiful eyes swept a cold glance at Zhu Yan.
"Hehe, that fellow encountered Big Sister Xiao Xiao and was taught a lesson. I don't know if his brain was damaged, but he has been following us ever since." Lin Jing smiled.
The corner of Mu Chen's mouth couldn't help twitching. It seemed that Zhu Yan had made a move on Xiao Xiao. But from the looks of it, the outcome wasn't as he had expected.
However, this also made Mu Chen a little surprised. He didn't expect Xiao Xiao to be so strong. Even someone like Zhu Yan couldn't gain any advantage from her. She was truly worthy of being the daughter of Yan Emperor.
"Oh right, where's that Jia Louluo?"
Jiu You glanced at Mu Chen and suddenly asked. She clearly knew that Jia Louluo was Mu Chen's greatest enemy.
"I dealt with him." Mu Chen smiled.
"Dealt with?"
Hearing Mu Chen's words, Xiao Xiao, Lin Jing, and Jiu You's expressions couldn't help but freeze. They naturally understood Jia Louluo's strength, so they knew how difficult it was to deal with him.
"You dealt with Jia Louluo?
How is that possible? "
A bewildered voice resounded from the side. It was Zhu Yan who couldn't help speaking out.
At this moment, his eyes were filled with doubt as he looked at Mu Chen. After all, he had fought with Jia Louluo in the past, so he knew how unfathomable his opponent was. Although Jia Louluo was only ranked third on the Greatlaw Continent's Expert Ranking, Zhu Yan knew that he might not be able to defeat Jia Louluo in a life-and-death battle.
But right now, Mu Chen said that he had dealt with Jia Louluo.
"It's settled. You won't be able to see him in the future."
Mu Chen played it down and did not explain much. After all, there was no need for him to publicize this matter with great fanfare.
"Looks like you're hiding quite a lot of things."
After a brief shock, Xiao Xiao chose to believe him and gave a profound glance at Mu Chen.
Furthermore, for some reason, when she saw Mu Chen this time, she vaguely felt a sense of danger, which made her understand that Mu Chen must have undergone a transformation in this period of time.
If she still had the confidence to defeat Mu Chen in the past, then that confidence had been greatly reduced this time.
She couldn't see through this youth before her.
Mu Chen lightly smiled. If he was fearful of Zhu Yan and Xiao Xiao's strength in the past, then that fear had completely disappeared.
This was his confidence. With the Immortal Golden Body, even if he encountered a Lesser Earth Sovereign, he could escape unscathed. As for those beneath the Earth Sovereign Realm, he was an invincible existence.
Xiao Xiao swept a glance at Mu Chen, who was smiling without speaking, with interest. However, she did not ask about it and changed the topic with her finger pointing up ahead. "If we go deeper, we should be able to reach the Heavenly Emperor Cemetery."
Hearing his words, Mu Chen's expression turned cold.
The Heavenly Emperor's Cemetery was basically the final destination of their journey in the Ancient Haven Palace. It was said to be the final battlefield of the Heavenly Emperor and the Monarch.
Furthermore, the moment they reach there, those top-tiered forces would be able to descend. At that time, the situation would probably become dangerous.
"If you've really dealt with Jia Louluo, then you have to be careful of the Saint Demonic Emperor of the Saint Demonic Palace. He will definitely not let you off." Zhu Yan suddenly reminded.
Furthermore, Mu Chen had even killed Xia Yu, so the Xia Emperor of the Xia Empire would definitely hate him to the bones.
When Mu Chen heard his words, he nodded his head towards Zhu Yan with a smile. It could be considered as thanks for the latter's reminder, although he had already expected this.
"Let's go."
Xiao Xiao said. She had clearly disregarded Zhu Yan and nodded towards Mu Chen, Lin Jing and Jiu You before she turned into a streak of light and flew out.
Mu Chen and the other two immediately followed up. On the other hand, Zhu Yan also followed after a brief hesitation. He had to think of a way to fight with Xiao Xiao again, since he was too unwilling to accept his previous loss.
The group streaked across the horizon, and roughly half an hour later, they finally realised that the barren land beneath their feet had started to turn into dust.
They slowed down their speed and looked up ahead with grave expressions. In the distance, there was a boundless cemetery with the surrounding space being shattered. Furthermore, the entire heavens and earth were enveloped by two terrifying pressures.
Under those pressures, even the heavens and earth were trembling.
Mu Chen looked at the cemetery that was surrounded by shattered space and couldn't help taking a deep breath. His body gradually tensed up. In his perception, the cemetery was akin to a black hole that instilled fear in him.
This is the Heavenly Emperor's Cemetery?
