Specks of light endlessly surged over and enveloped Mu Chen. As he closed his eyes, a consciousness soared into the sky and charged into the endless void under the protection of the Light of Prayers.
But a brief moment later, Mu Chen suddenly sensed something and his consciousness opened his eyes. He felt as if he had entered the primal chaos. This place was like when the heavens and earth were formed. There was no top or bottom, and even time had slowed down.
Looking at the primal chaos, Mu Chen's consciousness slowly spread out as he tried to sense the Plane's Spirit hidden in the primal chaos.
He did not receive any response in the beginning, but as the Light of Prayers around him grew stronger, he finally sensed a bizarre ripple spreading out from the primal chaos.
Mu Chen's consciousness swiftly spread out and saw light surging within the primal chaos. As the light blossomed, it was like an ocean that rippled within the primal chaos.
The Light of Primal Chaos seemed to contain endless vitality. The boundless vitality made Mu Chen's heart tremble. That energy was incomparably pure and ancient, as if it was born when the plane was formed.
Mu Chen looked at the ocean-like Light of Primal Chaos. He could sense a boundless fluctuation within the ocean. Evidently, that should be the Plane's Spirit of this plane.
Rumble.
As Mu Chen looked at it, the Ocean of Primal Chaos suddenly rippled and the sound of water rang out. At the center of the Ocean of Primal Chaos, a massive vortex was formed and a thousand-foot-wide Primal Chaos Sphere slowly rose from it.
That ball of primal chaos was like a heart as it gently throbbed. Every time it throbbed, the entire plane would tremble along with it.
When it breathed, wind and clouds would gather, tides would recede, and the sun would rise and set.
"This is the Plane's Spirit?"
Mu Chen looked at the ball of primal chaos. Although he couldn't sense any consciousness from it, he could sense a spirituality from it.
"Hmm?"
Mu Chen's eyes suddenly narrowed. He had noticed that there seemed to be some blood threads crawling on the surface of the glowing primal chaos ball. These blood threads twined around it like maggots in one's bones, causing the glowing primal chaos ball to appear extremely uncoordinated.
"Is it because this Plane was invaded by the Blood Fiend Clan and countless lifeforms were slaughtered, so the Plane's Spirit was also corroded?" Mu Chen's gaze flickered.
But this situation made him rejoice in his heart. The Plane's Spirit had already sensed the threat of the Blood Fiend Clan, so there wouldn't be much resistance when it accepted him.
As various thoughts flashed through his mind, Mu Chen's consciousness slowly approached.
"Plane's Spirit, I can help you expel the Blood Fiend Clan and restore vitality to this world. But I need your power."
Mu Chen did not conceal it too much and directly revealed his motive. He knew that although the Plane's Spirit didn't have a consciousness, it still possessed spirituality. Thus, it could rely on its instincts to determine the danger of this plane.
When Mu Chen spoke, the Primal Chaos Sphere trembled, but there wasn't any movement.
When Mu Chen saw this, he knew that he wasn't someone from this Plane, so the Plane's Spirit was a little conflicted. If Bai Susu was here, she would have already obtained the latter's help.
However, he wasn't in a rush and solemnly said, "The Blood Demon Monarch is powerful, and if he breaks free, I will definitely not be his opponent. At that time, I can only retreat to protect myself, and this Plane will be invaded by the Blood Fiend Clan. All lifeforms will be reduced to blood.
"At that time, even a Plane's Spirit like you won't be able to escape, and you will be devoured and refined by the Blood Demon Monarch."
Mu Chen's words were filled with a tragic aura that affected the Plane's Spirit. The Primal Chaos Sphere around him grew stronger, but it didn't grow any stronger.
Mu Chen's gaze flickered. He knew that he was still lacking. If he refined this Plane's Spirit, then he would become the ruler of this Plane, and the life and death of all lifeforms would be in his hands.
As a protector, the Plane's Spirit naturally didn't trust an outsider like him.
Thus, he took another step forth and declared, "If I become the ruler of this Plane, I swear that I will protect the peace of this Plane. As long as I'm alive, I will not allow the Fiend Clans to take a step into this Plane!"
His voice was loud and clear, resounding through the crowd of hooligans. It was as if it was accompanied by thunder and lingered for a long time.
He swore from the bottom of his heart. Perhaps others were unable to notice it, but the Dimension Spirit was born from the heavens and the earth, so it was extremely sensitive to it. If one's heart wasn't sincere, then even the slightest bit of other thoughts would absolutely be unable to escape the Dimension Spirit's detection.
So not long after Mu Chen made his oath, the Plane's Spirit burst out with a myriad foot of primal chaos and celestial music resounded, vaguely showing the silhouettes of billions of lifeforms in the primal chaos.
When Mu Chen saw this scene, his heart violently fluctuated with uncontrollable joy rising in his heart. He knew that the Plane's Spirit had agreed to it.
Thus, with a will in his heart, his physical body outside the Blood Demon Mountain disappeared and appeared in the primal chaos in the next instant.
When Mu Chen's consciousness returned to his body, he looked at the massive primal chaos sphere and his silhouette moved. He penetrated through the barrier and landed on the sphere without any obstruction.
He sat down and shut his eyes, while his body slowly sank into the primal chaos glowing sphere.
In the primal chaos, time seemed to have stopped, which gave him sufficient time to break through to the Heavenly Sovereign Realm.
When his body entered the sphere, Mu Chen's body trembled. In the next moment, he felt as if he was in an ocean of primal chaos with boundless Primal Chaos Energy surging over and turned into a beam of primal chaos that slowly poured into his head.
Boom!
The primal chaos light was the primal energy that was born at the beginning of the Plane. In terms of grade, it could be considered as a pinnacle energy, even in the Great Thousand World. However, it was extremely rare and could only be obtained in the Plane that gave birth to the Plane's Spirit.
Sensing the surge of boundless energy, Mu Chen immediately circulated his cultivation technique. Instantly, the flesh and blood in his body trembled. It was like a greedy mouth that devoured the boundless energy that was pouring into his body.
In just ten-odd breaths, Mu Chen felt as if he had devoured billions of drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid and was shocked in his heart. He never expected that the power of the Plane's Spirit would be so pure and boundless. It was truly worthy of being a Spiritual Object that was born from the heavens and earth.
As his thoughts circulated, he soon stabilised his mind and gradually sunk into his cultivation state.
In the primal chaos, time slowed down and Mu Chen wasn't in a hurry. He allowed the primal chaos light to pour into his body and the Spiritual Energy in his body was also rising at a shocking speed.
Just like this, Mu Chen's physical body sat in the primal chaos, as if a few dozen years had passed. His figure was like a boulder, without any movement. It was so much so that even his breathing had gradually weakened to nothingness.
In the primal chaos, time had stopped and only the primal chaos light was endlessly pouring into Mu Chen's head.
This state lasted for a certain moment before there was a change.
On a certain day, Mu Chen's statue-like body lightly trembled and in the next moment, his eyes, which had been shut for god knows how long, slowly opened.
Buzz!
In that instant when he opened his eyes, a lustre abruptly shot out from his eyes. That lustre was indescribably dazzling as it pierced through the primal chaos and disappeared.
Mu Chen slowly clenched his fist as he sensed the indescribable surging Spiritual Energy in his body. His body slightly trembled as if there were countless lightning bolts exploding in his body.
Boom!
A myriad of spiritual lights burst out from Mu Chen's body and as the spiritual light flickered, Mu Chen's body started to swell up.
In just a few breaths' time, Mu Chen had grown to a thousand feet in size and sat in the primal chaos.
His body was emitting a holy lustre, making him look like a sun that was emitting light in the primal chaos.
Looking at his body that was a thousand feet in size, Mu Chen could sense that every single part of his flesh, every single bone, and even every single drop of blood contained indescribably powerful Spiritual Energy.
The Spiritual Energy had filled his body to the point that he couldn't bear any more.
That feeling was like a lake that was filled to the brim, and if there was just a bit more water, the lake would probably break through the dam and shatter.
At this moment, he had already reached the limit beneath the Heavenly Sovereign Realm. According to his estimations, if he encountered an expert that had come in contact with the Heavenly Sovereign Realm, he would probably be able to destroy that expert with a single palm.
At this point, Mu Chen could already sense the existence of a shackle barrier. That barrier was extremely firm, blocking all of his ascension paths.
"It must be the barrier of the Heavenly Sovereign Realm."
Mu Chen pondered, but he had already reached his limit. If he continued, he might be able to break the barrier, but there was also a high possibility that his body would explode. At that time, the Spiritual Energy would devour him, and it would be his death.
Such an outcome was truly terrifying, and he didn't dare to attempt it.
Mu Chen's gaze flickered. After a long while, his gaze suddenly turned sharp. The path of cultivation had always been filled with trials and tribulations. If he wanted to reach the pinnacle, then he would need to have an indomitable sharpness and courage. Today was a great opportunity for him. If he missed it, he didn't know when he would have another opportunity like this.
Thinking about it, Mu Chen's face turned solemn without any hesitation or fear.
He raised his head and looked into the void. "I hope that the Plane's Spirit can help me break the Heavenly Barrier!"
A few breaths later, the surrounding primal chaos spread out and a thousand-foot-wide ball of primal chaos soared into the sky. As it revolved, it swiftly shrunk and shot down, turning into a streak of primal chaos that fell into Mu Chen's head.
Taking a deep breath, Mu Chen slowly closed his eyes.
Whether it was success or failure, it would depend on this!
