Outside the Deification Pool, the experts of the various Divine Beast Clans were constantly looking at the mirrors. When they saw the Peak Blood Essences, they exclaimed with envy in their voices.
Those Peak Blood Essences were great nourishment for every Divine Beast, and they couldn't be found anywhere else. They could only be found in the Deification Pool.
"Mhm?"
While they were feeling envious, an exclamation resounded as someone pointed at a transparent mirror and exclaimed, "That Fang Jing is looking for Mu Chen!"
Hearing his words, everyone directed their gazes towards the mirror and saw Mu Chen, Nine Nether, and Fang Jing of the Golden Phoenix Condor Clan facing each other.
"Heh, looks like Fang Jing is determined to get on Huang Xuanzhi's good side by dealing with Mu Chen." Someone inwardly smiled at the confrontation.
"But Mu Chen isn't a pushover. Don't underestimate him just because he's a Middle Phase Spirit Heavenly Sovereign. It's said that he defeated an Initial Phase Immortal Heavenly Sovereign with his own strength in the Ancient Buddha Clan."
"You're underestimating Fang Jing too much. As a genius of the Golden Phoenix Condor Clan, he has cultivated for over two hundred years. Although he's only a Late Phase Spirit Heavenly Sovereign, he's a Supreme Divine Beast, to begin with. His fighting strength is stronger than humans, to begin with. Some time ago, I heard that Fang Jing fought with an Initial Phase Immortal Heavenly Sovereign, but the latter couldn't do a thing to Fang Jing."
"That's the case?
That's interesting. I've heard of Mu Chen causing havoc in the Ancient Buddha Clan countless times. Today, I will see if that fellow has the ability to do so. "
"Haha, it would be a joke if he was defeated by Fang Jing. At that time, I'm afraid that the faces of the Elders of the Ancient Buddha Clan would turn green."
Around the Deification Pool, the experts of the Divine Beast Clans whispered among themselves. Clearly, the majority of them had the mentality of watching a good show. Furthermore, between the humans and the Divine Beasts, they would naturally lean towards Fang Jing's victory. If that's the case, it would also let everyone in the Great Thousand World know that there's still a gap between the geniuses of the humans and the supreme Divine Beast Clans.
"Ten breaths have passed, why aren't you scramming?"
Outside the Deification Pool, everyone's attention was focused on the water mirror. Inside the Deification Pool, Fang Jing, with his arms crossed, stared at Mu Chen with an ominous glint in his eyes.
"Fool."
Mu Chen cast a glance at him and faintly spat out two words. Thereafter, he no longer paid any attention to Fang Jing and opened his mouth. Purple flames swept out and enveloped towards the escaping Blood Essence Colossal Kraken.
When the purple flames appeared, the surrounding seawater was instantly evaporated with a terrifying temperature spreading out.
"Courting death!"
When Fang Jing saw that Mu Chen had ignored him and made a move against the Blood Essence Kun, he was enraged and a ferocious light surged in his eyes. He stretched his hand out and a dazzling golden light appeared. A golden claw that looked as if it was forged from gold tore through space and grabbed towards the Blood Essence Kun.
Mu Chen's gaze was cold as he flicked his finger. The purple flames that were flying towards the Blood Essence Roc turned around and turned into a flaming dragon that was baring its fangs and brandishing its claws as it tangled with the golden claw.
Sizzle!
As the purple flames spread, the golden claw swiftly melted in its path. In just a few breaths' time, it had turned into nothingness.
"What?!" Fang Jing's pupils shrank at the sight of this. He clearly didn't expect Mu Chen's purple flames to be so overbearing.
After melting the golden claw, Mu Chen waved his sleeve and the purple flames once again shrouded the Blood Essence Colossal Kraken. Immediately, the Blood Essence Colossal Kraken violently churned. After ten breaths, it turned into a head-sized Blood Essence and shot into Mu Chen's hand.
Mu Chen gently tossed the Blood Essence Colossal Kraken before tossing it to Jiu You. "You devour it first."
Jiu You received the Blood Essence Colossal Kraken and cast a worried glance at Fang Jing.
"Don't worry, he doesn't have the qualifications to snatch the Blood Essence Colossal Kraken." Mu Chen lightly smiled.
Hearing Mu Chen's words, Nine Nether felt relieved in her heart. She sat down with her palms hugging the sun and moon, placing the head-sized Blood Essence between her palms.
As Spiritual Energy circulated, the Blood Essence Colossal Kraken turned into a dense blood aura that rose and entered Jiu You's body.
As the boundless blood aura poured in, spiritual light surged behind Jiu You and formed into a huge black egg. The color of the eggshell gradually deepened.
While Jiu You devoured the Blood Essence Colossal Kraken, Mu Chen stood in front of her and calmly looked at Fang Jing, whose face was ashen.
"You're simply courting death!"
Fang Jing's face was ashen and his voice was filled with killing intent. He never thought that Mu Chen would not place him in his eyes. Not only did Mu Chen ignore his threat, Mu Chen even took the Blood Essence Colossal Kraken and allowed Jiu You to refine it right under his eyes.
"If you want to please your master, choose a more reliable method. Don't come here and embarrass yourself." Mu Chen cast a glance at him and casually said.
"Haha!"
Fang Jing was thoroughly enraged as he burst into wild laughter. In the next instant, a boundless golden lustre burst out from his body and his silhouette had transformed into a golden bird that was a few myriad feet in size.
This giant bird was extremely mystical. It was covered in golden phoenix feathers, but its head was that of an eagle. Its huge eyes flickered with a golden light that was terrifying.
This was Fang Jing's original body, the Golden Phoenix Condor. It possessed the bloodline of the Phoenix Clan and the Eagle Clan, making it extremely ferocious.
Evidently, Fang Jing's killing intent had been aroused and he had immediately revealed his true form.
"Brat, I will tear you into pieces today and throw your flesh into the Deification Pool!" The massive Golden Phoenix Condor unleashed a sharp voice as it flapped its wings, sweeping up a storm.
"I'm afraid that you don't have the ability to do so." Mu Chen sneered.
Buzz!
Buzz! But this time, the Golden Phoenix Condor did not speak. It flapped its wings and a boundless golden lustre burst out. Countless golden feathers shot out and enveloped a few myriad feet in radius.
Every single golden feather was formed from extremely condensed Spiritual Energy and was incomparably sharp. Even if it was a Spirit Grade Peerless Saint Artifact, it would still be torn apart.
As the golden feathers enveloped over, a purplish-golden lustre blossomed behind Mu Chen and the massive Immortal Golden Body appeared, emanating an immortal lustre that formed into a barrier.
Ding! Ding!
Ding! Countless golden feathers slammed against the barrier, but they couldn't penetrate through and were constantly bounced off.
After a series of futile attacks, Fang Jing immediately stopped his futile attacks. His golden pupils flickered with a chilling light. Shortly after, he slowly raised his huge golden wings. The feathers on those wings were like golden steel, so tough that they could tear space apart.
Traces of indescribable sharpness emanated from them that even an Initial Phase Immortal Heavenly Sovereign wouldn't dare to underestimate them.
"Fang Jing is going to use his Innate Divine Ability!" Everyone outside the Deification Pool squinted their eyes with a grave expression.
All Super Divine Beasts possessed innate Divine Abilities and terrifying might. This was also one of the reasons why Super Divine Beasts' battle prowess was always more tyrannical than most human powerhouses of the same level.
"Brat, it's not an insult for you to die under my Innate Divine Ability!"
The Golden Phoenix Condor that Fang Jing had transformed into emitted a sharp cry. In the next instant, a golden light spread out from his wings like mercury, before he abruptly chopped them down.
"Innate Divine Ability - God Slaying Wings!"
As the golden wings streaked down, a golden light tore through the heavens and earth in that instant. Even the seawater before it was forcefully sliced apart, leaving a bottomless ravine.
That golden lustre looked as if it could tear through anything in the world, and it was indescribably sharp.
A ray of golden light descended from the sky. Mu Chen raised his head and narrowed his eyes. Thereafter, his hands formed seals at lightning speed.
Buzz!
A purplish-golden lustre burst out from the Immortal Golden Body behind him and Divine Immortal Runes started to form, akin to dragons that coiled around him.
In just a few breaths' time, the number of Divine Immortal Runes had reached a shocking 700!
With Mu Chen's current strength, his Immortal Golden Body had practically reached greater mastery. So the number of Divine Immortal Runes that he could form had practically doubled compared to the past.
The 700 Divine Immortal Runes swiftly fused together with a flick of Mu Chen's finger.
As the purplish-golden lustre blossomed, a purplish-golden long blade vaguely appeared, shrouded in an immortal aura.
Looking at the golden lustre descending, Mu Chen faintly smiled. "You have the God Slaying Wings, while I have the Phoenix Slaughtering Blade."
As his voice faded, the purplish-golden blade soared into the sky and slashed out. In that instant, the heavens and earth seemed to have dimmed as a purplish-golden lustre streaked across and clashed with the golden lustre at an astonishing speed.
Boom!
The ocean within a radius of a few hundred thousand feet seemed to have been pushed aside, forming a massive vacuum zone.
Outside the Deification Pool, everyone nervously looked at the water mirror. They clearly didn't know who would gain the upper hand in such an intense confrontation.
Within the jade-green deep sea, the seawater gradually calmed down. As the light dissipated, the gigantic Golden Phoenix Condor hovered high up in the sky. However, everyone's eyes abruptly shrunk. That's because they could see that a deep bloody scar had appeared on one of the Golden Phoenix Condor's golden wings. The feathers near the bloody scar had shattered apart.
"How is that possible?!" They couldn't help exclaiming.
"How is that possible?!"
A similar sharp voice rang out from Fang Jing's mouth in the jade-green ocean. He was also in disbelief as he looked at the blood mark on his wings. If it wasn't for his God Slaying Wings that had dissolved most of the blade light's power, it was likely that his wings would have been chopped off long ago.
One must know that he was a Super Divine Beast with a powerful physique comparable to a Spirit Grade Peerless Saint Artifact!
"Truly worthy of being a Super Divine Beast. Your skin is indeed thick."
While Fang Jing was overwhelmed with shock, Mu Chen knitted his brows. He initially thought that it would be a piece of cake, but he didn't even manage to chop off Fang Jing's wings.
"You, just you wait!
I will definitely take revenge for injuring my wings! "
Fang Jing's shock lasted for a brief moment before he retracted it. He viciously looked at Mu Chen and roared before he decisively flapped his wings and retreated.
This exchange made him understand that although Mu Chen was only a Middle Phase Spirit Heavenly Sovereign, his battle prowess was even more terrifying than a Super Divine Beast like him.
Although he didn't want to admit it at all.
But regardless of whether he wanted to admit it or not, he knew that he might really die in Mu Chen's hands if he continued to stay.
Mu Chen indifferently looked at the escaping Fang Jing with a smear of a sneer in his eyes. "Do you think it's that easy to fight and leave as you wish?"
"Haha, what can you do?
I can't defeat you, and you can't catch up to me! "
Fang Jing's ear-piercing laughter resounded. He was, after all, a bird-type Divine Beast that excelled in speed. If he wanted to escape, even an Immortal Sovereign could only eat his dust.
"Is that so?" Mu Chen ridiculed.
Fang Jing's heart trembled as he felt uneasy. He frantically flapped his wings, intending to escape.
But just when his massive silhouette streaked across the sky, he suddenly felt the surrounding space freeze and a massive shadow descended from the sky.
Fang Jing raised his head in shock and saw a massive pagoda descending from the sky.
At this moment, Fang Jing's vision had instantly turned dark.
