The waves on the Luo River were still surging, but the situation on the river had undergone a drastic change.
The three Earth Sovereigns of the Blood God Clan that came with ferocious momentum were trapped by a massive Spiritual Array, while another was entangled by an elite troop. Only Xue Yi could stand before Mu Chen.
But at this moment, Xue Yi did not wish for that person to be him.
A dazzling purplish-golden lustre surged above the Luo River and a purplish-golden silhouette stood behind Mu Chen. Compared to the other Sovereign Immortal Bodies, that silhouette wasn't huge. But as the purplish-golden lustre enveloped it, it emanated a mysterious and immortal aura that no one could see through.
It was Mu Chen's Immortal Golden Body.
Standing before the Immortal Golden Body, Mu Chen looked at Xue Yi, who was dripping with sweat, and faintly said, "Didn't you tell me to stop running?"
Hearing Mu Chen's words, Xue Yi's face alternated between green and white. Facing Mu Chen's mockery, he felt humiliated and enraged. But he was truly shocked by Mu Chen's Spiritual Array and Battle Formation. At this moment, he was completely suppressed by Mu Chen's aura.
"Fool, hold him back!
As long as Xue Tong and the rest break out of the Spiritual Array, it will be his death! "
Just when Xue Yi was feeling humiliated and enraged, a thunderous roar resounded. It was Xue Lingzi's voice.
Hearing Xue Lingzi's bark, Xue Yi had finally recovered from the suppression from Mu Chen's aura. He was, after all, an experienced Earth Sovereign. Although he was previously shocked by Mu Chen's means, his heart had also started to become lively after hearing Xue Lingzi's reminder.
Mu Chen couldn't be underestimated. It was so much so that he could even set up a Spiritual Array and control Battle Will. But no matter what, he's only one person!
If he focused his mind to control it.
Whether it was the Spiritual Array or the elite troop, both of them could confront a Lesser Earth Sovereign and obtain a great advantage.
But unfortunately, the current him.
He couldn't really concentrate.
Thus, it was impossible for an unmanned Scholar Grade Spiritual Array to trap an Earth Sovereign for too long. Similarly, it was the same for that elite troop.
Facing Blood Eye and Blood Hand's all-out attack, Lin Feng didn't dare to move.
They would definitely not be able to last for long, and once Xue Tong and the other two broke out of the formation, the three of them would be able to join forces again. No matter how many tricks Mu Chen had up his sleeves, he would still be in dire straits.
Clearly, it was impossible for Mu Chen to fight against three existences of the same level on his own. That was why he had borrowed the power of the Spirit Formation and the army to divide their advantage in numbers.
In other words, the current him.
As long as they could stall Mu Chen and drag the time for Xue Tong and Xue Shou to break the formation, they would be able to obtain victory.
When he thought of that, Xue Yi's expression turned stern and cold. The panic from before had completely disappeared. He raised his head and coldly looked at Mu Chen. "Looks like your plan isn't as perfect as you thought."
"Are you certain that you can last till then?"
Mu Chen looked at Xue Yi, who seemed to have regained his confidence.
He asked with a smile on his face.
Xue Yi's gaze sank as he sneered, "Your Spiritual Array and Battle Formation methods have truly made me feel fearful.
Right now, I don't even have the thought of defeating you. But I believe that you're overestimating yourself if you think that I can hold you back for a period of time. "
Buzz!
In that instant, a torrential blood-red Spiritual Energy burst out from his body and appeared behind him.
It had turned into a blood figure that was a few myriad feet in size.
That crimson figure seemed to be wearing an abnormally crimson monastic robe. The robe was shrouded in an extremely powerful bloody and corrosive aura that caused cracks to appear in the surrounding space.
This was the Sovereign Celestial Body that Xue Yi had cultivated, the Blood Kasaya Celestial Body. It was an extremely high grade Sovereign Celestial Body in the Blood God Clan, ranked 51st in the 99 Rankings of Sovereign Celestial Bodies.
Evidently, Xue Yi's confidence was supported by his own strength.
The Sovereign Immortal Body in a crimson kasaya stood between the heavens and earth with a torrential blood aura that dyed the sky red. Compared to the Sovereign Immortal Body in a crimson kasaya, the Immortal Golden Body that was only a few hundred feet tall was akin to a dwarf.
When the experts in this region saw this scene, they couldn't help muttering. After all, the Sovereign Immortal Bodies were determined by the strength of their Spiritual Energy. Generally speaking, the larger the Sovereign Immortal Body, the more Spiritual Energy it could devour, and at the same time, the power it possessed would also grow.
Xue Yi's silhouette moved and appeared on the shoulder of the Blood Kasaya Celestial Body. He looked down at the Immortal Golden Body behind Mu Chen and sneered, "Looks like you've exhausted a lot of your Spiritual Energy."
The Immortal Golden Body was too rare, so even Xue Yi had assumed that it was due to Mu Chen's exhaustion of his Spiritual Energy.
Mu Chen smiled in response. Evidently, he wasn't interested in reminding Xue Yi. He tapped his feet and landed on the shoulder of the Immortal Golden Body, then looked at Xue Yi with his eyes narrowed. "Let's make full use of this time."
In Xue Yi's eyes, Xue Yi's casual attitude made him furious and embarrassed. It had been many years since he had encountered such an attitude of looking down on Xue Yi.
"I'll see if you can still be so arrogant after they break out of the Spiritual Array."
Xue Yi roared with laughter before his hands joined together and he opened his mouth. Instantly, a torrential crimson current gushed out from his mouth and formed into a crimson ocean in just a few breaths' time.
White bones floated within the sea of blood. Within them, there seemed to be countless vengeful spirits howling, emitting an incomparably chilling aura.
"Yellow Springs Blood Ocean!"
Xue Yi eerily looked at Mu Chen and waved his hand. The ocean of blood whistled out. At this moment, he clearly did not dare to be careless when facing Mu Chen. Thus, he had immediately executed an ultimate move.
The Yellow Springs Blood Sea was famous within the Blood God Clan. To cultivate this art, one needed to commit a great amount of slaughter. They needed to gather the blood of living creatures into a sea, and then use a secret art to refine it into the Yellow Springs Blood Sea.
The seawater contained endless corrosive power and had a unique lethality to the Supreme Immortal Body.
Over the years, Xue Yi had fought with many Lesser Earth Sovereigns, and some of his opponents' Sovereign Celestial Bodies fell into the Yellow Springs Blood Ocean.
Even their Sovereign Celestial Bodies would be corroded.
The torrential ocean of blood whistled across the sky, causing the eyelids of many people to twitch. Evidently, they weren't unfamiliar with this infamous Divine Ability of the Blood God Clan.
The Yellow Springs Blood Ocean descended from the sky and enveloped Mu Chen and the Immortal Golden Body beneath his feet before the ocean of blood swept over.
As the tide swept over, the Immortal Golden Body was submerged.
Seeing this scene, the faces of countless experts tensed up. Those that knew how powerful this Divine Ability of the Blood God Clan were had a change of expression. Clearly, god knows how many experts had suffered from this Divine Ability of the Blood God Clan over the years.
"Haha, what a fool!"
When Xue Yi saw Mu Chen and the Sovereign Immortal Body beneath his feet being enveloped by the Yellow Springs Blood Ocean, he couldn't hold back his sinister laughter. All these years, he had relied on this move to gain the upper hand against those on the same level.
As for those who were ignored, they all paid a bloody price in the end.
Looking at it now, Mu Chen clearly thought that his means weren't weak. He did not even have the slightest intention of dodging and was enveloped by the Yellow Springs Blood Ocean. That foolish fellow would definitely regret his actions.
Rustle!
Along with Xue Yi's sinister laughter, the Yellow Springs Blood Ocean violently surged with the corrosive power exploding to the limit.
Even the sky in this region had started to shatter.
As the Yellow Springs Blood Ocean wreaked havoc, Xue Yi's sinister laughter gradually stiffened. He could vaguely sense that something was amiss.
The Yellow Springs Blood Sea seemed to be thinning at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Mhm?
What's going on? "
Xue Yi's face slightly changed with bewilderment in his eyes. After a brief silence, he gnashed his teeth and sucked, intending to suck the Yellow Springs Blood Ocean back into his body.
The Yellow Springs Blood Ocean was something that he had nurtured for years. So if he lost it here, it would be more painful than cutting his flesh.
But just when Xue Yi was about to use his secret technique to suck the Yellow Springs Blood Ocean back, he suddenly felt an irresistible suction force coming from the blood ocean.
Under the effect of the suction force, the Yellow Springs Blood Sea was flowing downwards at an astonishing speed.
In just a few breaths' time, the torrential Yellow Springs Blood Ocean had shrunk and Mu Chen and the Immortal Golden Body's silhouettes appeared once again.
At this moment, Mu Chen stood on the shoulder of the Immortal Golden Body with a playful smile on his face.
The Immortal Golden Body beneath his feet widened its mouth. So that's where the terrifying suction force came from. Under that suction force, the boundless Yellow Springs Blood Ocean was being devoured.
Rustle!
Watching this scene, the eyes of countless experts couldn't help protruding from their sockets.
No one expected that not only did the Blood God Clan's Yellow Springs Blood Ocean fail to corrode Mu Chen's Sovereign Immortal Body, but it was devoured instead.
Seeing this scene, Xue Yi's face turned pale.
In the distance, Xue Lingzi was also shocked at this scene. Evidently, he was also greatly shocked.
After devouring the Yellow Springs Blood Ocean, the Immortal Golden Body opened its mouth and spat out a pearl of blood that was enveloped in a purplish-golden radiance. Mu Chen stretched his hand out and grabbed it.
Mu Chen held onto the blood pearl that contained the Yellow Springs Blood Ocean and raised his head to look at Xue Yi, whose face was frighteningly pale. He lightly smiled and tossed the blood pearl over to Xue Yi.
"Is this important to you?
Then I'll return it to you. "
However, Xue Yi's face drastically changed when he saw the bead of blood that was tossed back. His hair stood on end as he let out a shriek. Thereafter, everyone was dumbfounded when they saw Xue Yi frantically retreating as if he had seen a ghost.
Because at that moment, only Blood Robes noticed that his connection with the Yellow Springs of Blood Sea had been completely cut off!
