Buzz!
The scarlet-red magma space was filled with violent and scorching Spiritual Energy. Within the scarlet-red world, a gigantic scarlet-red figure stood up. That figure was incomparably massive. As it breathed, surging waves of fire whistled out, burning and distorting the surrounding space.
That massive silhouette was naturally the Soaring Flame Array, formed from the Spiritual Energy of the heavens and earth. The might was unfathomable, and even Perfected Earth Sovereigns could face it head-on.
As the heatwave swept out, the temperature in the cave rose.
The commotion caused by Mu Chen had immediately attracted the attention of others. When they saw the Soaring Flame Array, their faces uncontrollably changed.
"It's actually a High Rank Scholar Spiritual Array?!"
Wen Qingxuan widened her eyes as she looked at Mu Chen's silhouette in shock. So it turned out that this fellow was also a High Rank Spiritual Array Scholar!
It was no wonder why he had the confidence to obstruct the two Martial Servants, so he had such a trump card.
"That fellow!"
Wen Qingxuan bit on her rosy lips with a complicated gaze. Back then, during the Five Academy Battle, although Mu Chen was powerful, he wasn't much stronger than her.
After so many years, although Wen Qingxuan was shocked by Mu Chen's Greater Earth Sovereign cultivation, it was still within her acceptable range.
But she never expected that Mu Chen's strength was only in the Greater Earth Sovereign Realm on the surface, and it was probably just the tip of the iceberg.
Thus, facing Mu Chen's swift improvement, even someone as prideful as Wen Qingxuan felt a little depressed. That fellow was too monstrous!
In the depths of the Blackwater Prison that Ling Xi had set up, Wu Tong squinted his eyes as he looked at Mu Chen's direction. When he saw the Soaring Flame Array, his brows were tightly knitted.
Evidently, this move from Mu Chen had exceeded his expectations.
"That brat does have some means. But even if you're a High Rank Spiritual Array Scholar, it's impossible for you to confront the two Martial Servants of my Wu Clan!"
A cold light flashed on Wu Tong's face. The two Martial Servants possessed the strength of a Perfected Earth Sovereign, and it was clearly impossible for Mu Chen to use a High Rank Scholar Spiritual Array to deal with them.
Furthermore, it was only one Martial Servant that was trapped in the Spiritual Array.
The other Martial Servant would definitely launch a ferocious attack, leaving Mu Chen with no energy to control the Scholar Grade Spiritual Array. Without anyone controlling it, the power of the Spiritual Array would drop by a few folds, and the Martial Servant would be able to easily break out of it.
At that time, Mu Chen would fall under the deadly attacks of the two Martial Servants.
"On the other hand, this Spiritual Array is a little troublesome."
Wu Tong retracted his attention and cast a glance at the Spiritual Array that had enveloped him. Although the offensive power of this Spiritual Array wasn't strong, it had the effect of a prison that he couldn't break through no matter what means he had.
That woman seemed to be trying to hold him back.
Wu Tong's gaze flickered as he glanced at the blazing cauldron with an indescribable flash in the depths of his eyes.
Boom!
When the blazing silhouette was formed, it unleashed a ferocious attack towards the Martial Servant that was trapped in the Spiritual Array. As it brandished its fist, it was like a tidal wave that violently slammed towards the Martial Servant.
Boom!
The Martial Servant charged forth without any fear and the two of them clashed together. The violent impact caused the entire cave to violently tremble.
When the intense battle broke out in the Spiritual Array, the other Martial Servant had also charged towards Mu Chen with a powerful ocean of Spiritual Energy gathered on his fist, causing every single one of his fists to possess the power to shatter the heavens and shatter the earth.
In Mu Chen's eyes, the Divine Pagoda radiated with light as he converted the Spiritual Energy in his body into crystallised Spiritual Energy and threw a punch forth as countless crystallised runes appeared on his arm.
Boom!
Boom!
The two silhouettes clashed together, causing space to fluctuate. For a moment, the battle was extremely intense.
But while Mu Chen was being held back, the Soaring Flame Array was just as Wu Tong had expected. The Spiritual Lustre had weakened and the blazing silhouette was being pushed back by the Martial Servant.
But when this scene appeared, Mu Chen faintly smiled and formed seals with a single hand. Space fluctuated behind him and a white-robed Mu Chen appeared and entered the Soaring Flame Array, then he sat down and started to control the Spiritual Array.
Along with the white-robed Mu Chen entering the Spiritual Array, the Soaring Flame Array burst out with a myriad foot of scarlet lustre. The blazing silhouette roared towards the sky and instantly turned the situation around, suppressing the Martial Servant into a disadvantageous position.
When the Spiritual Array stabilised, Mu Chen focused his attention on the Martial Servant before him. He had already realised that although he could confront a Perfected Earth Sovereign with the amplification of the Divine Pagoda, he was still in a disadvantageous position.
Regardless of anything, there was a huge gap between a Greater Earth Sovereign and a Perfected Earth Sovereign. If an ordinary Greater Earth Sovereign encountered a Perfected Earth Sovereign, they would probably be in a life-threatening situation within ten moves. But it wasn't easy for Mu Chen to confront a Perfected Earth Sovereign to this extent without using his Sovereign Celestial Body.
"If one can't win, then two will come."
Mu Chen lightly smiled as he looked at the Martial Servant that was charging over. His silhouette flashed and another black-robed Mu Chen appeared beside him. The two of them threw their fists out at the same time and boundless Spiritual Energy formed into a storm that even caused the atmosphere to explode.
Boom!
Their fists clashed with the Martial Servant once again.
But this time, it wasn't Mu Chen that was pushed back, but the Martial Servant that was sent flying out.
Dong Shan, who was fighting with Wen Ziyu, couldn't help changing his face when he saw this scene. He was a little shocked as he looked at the three identical Mu Chen. He couldn't understand why Mu Chen's Spiritual Image was as powerful as him.
"Hmph, take care of your side!"
But while he was distracted, a sneer resounded and in the next moment, a cold sword lustre pierced through space and streaked across Dong Shan's chest, leaving a bloody mark.
"Brat, you're courting death!"
Being injured due to a moment of carelessness, Dong Shan's face turned ferocious. He held onto the huge blade and a murderous aura surged, turning into boundless blade light that enveloped towards Wen Ziyu.
Violent Spiritual Energy violently swept out in the cavern. If it wasn't for the fact that this cavern was left behind by the Spirit-Pellet Butterfly Fairy, it would have probably been destroyed by now.
"Qingxuan, go and obtain the inheritance!"
When Mu Chen suppressed the two Martial Servants, he immediately transmitted his voice to Wen Qingxuan.
Nodding her head, Wen Qingxuan retreated from the battle without the slightest hesitation. Transforming into a streak of light, she shot straight towards the cauldron at the deepest part of the karst cave. She knew that Mu Chen and the rest were fighting for time for her. Therefore, she had to grasp every single breath she had.
Facing Wen Qingxuan's actions, Dong Shan and the rest grew anxious. They tried to stop her, but they were tightly entangled.
Thus, without any obstruction, Wen Qingxuan soon appeared before the cauldron. The cauldron was blazing with flames. Although there wasn't any high temperature being emitted, anyone could sense how terrifying it was.
This cauldron was left behind by the Spirit-Pellet Butterfly Fairy. Even if it had been burning for tens of thousands of years, even a Perfected Earth Sovereign would be reduced to ashes if they came in contact with it.
Looking at the cauldron, Wen Qingxuan took a deep breath. According to the information, the inheritance of the Spirit-Pellet Butterfly Fairy was in this cauldron, and if she wanted to obtain the inheritance, she would have to jump into the cauldron.
But this was clearly an extremely dangerous matter.
The cauldron was emitting a deathly aura that even a Perfected Earth Sovereign would be reduced to ashes, not to mention a Lesser Earth Sovereign like her.
Wen Qingxuan bit her red lips with the pearly white of her teeth, while tightly clenching her jadelike hands. A sliver of hesitation similarly flashed across her eyes. However, that sliver of hesitation was quickly suppressed by her.
A resolute expression rose on her face.
If she wanted to obtain the inheritance, then she would naturally have to pay a price. If she didn't even have the courage to challenge it, then how could she obtain the inheritance of the Spirit-Pellet Butterfly Fairy?
Thinking about that, without the slightest bit of hesitation, Wen Qingxuan gave a tap of her jade-like feet, shooting into the air. In the end, she transformed into a ray of light. Under the slightly shocked gazes of Mu Chen and the rest, she shot towards the frightening pill furnace burning with raging flames.
Although Mu Chen could guess that this should be the method to obtain the inheritance, he still broke out in cold sweat for Wen Qingxuan in his heart. That's because, with the slightest mistake, she might be incinerated into nothingness by the Pill Fire.
At this moment, he could only pray in his heart that Wen Qingxuan's choice was correct.
At the same time, Wu Tong, who was trapped in the Blackwater Prison, suddenly stood up and looked at Wen Qingxuan throwing herself into the cauldron with a strange trace of expectation in his eyes.
"Wen Qingxuan, don't disappoint me!"
