Whoosh!
In the sky, a ray of light flashed past at an astonishing speed. There seemed to be a vague dragon roar echoing. It was an illusory dragon shadow. The dragon shadow carried a human figure as it whizzed past the horizon at an astonishing speed.
Standing on the dragon shadow, Mu Chen looked down at the rapidly retreating land, while a smear of astonishment appeared within his eyes. The speed of the Dragon Soaring Technique was truly too fast. No wonder why the White Dragon Sovereign was able to successfully escape from the encirclement of several Sovereigns from the Demonic Dragon Palace.
According to Mu Chen's current comprehension of the Dragon Soaring Technique, he already knew that the Dragon Soaring Technique was roughly split into three stages. The first stage was the "Dragon Shadow", the second was the "Dragon Soaring", and the third was the "Dragon Flight". As of now, due to his breakthrough to Heavenly Completion Stage, Mu Chen's strength had increased by quite a bit, while the Dragon Soaring Technique had advanced to the second stage, the "Dragon Soaring". At this stage, Spiritual Energy would be able to materialize into a giant dragon, carrying Mu Chen in the sky and into the ground. That speed seemed to be able to chase after the stars and moon.
Mu Chen was confident that with his current speed, not to mention Heavenly Completion Stage experts, even those experts that had passed through the first Disaster, Human Body Disaster, would not be able to catch up to him.
It was precisely because of this that Mu Chen dared to snatch the treasure under the covetous gazes of so many experts, as he was confident that after snatching the treasure, An Ran would be able to leave.
"I wonder when I'll be able to reach the third stage, the" Dragon Flight "," muttered Mu Chen to himself. It's said that if he was able to cultivate the Dragon Soaring Technique to the "Dragon Flight" stage, he would be able to transform into a giant dragon. At that time, he would be able to shuttle through space, something that ordinary Sovereigns would be unable to achieve.
Mu Chen's heart yearned for a while, before retracting his thoughts. Looking far behind him, he could faintly feel some Spiritual Energy fluctuations radiating over. From the looks of it, there were still some fellows that were unwilling to give up, and were attempting to chase after him to snatch the treasure.
"I have to find a place to recover from my injuries."
Mu Chen pondered. Furthermore, he couldn't wait to see what use the Sky Severing Sovereign's Bone had.
As this thought flashed across Mu Chen's heart, a thought passed through his mind. The speed of the enormous dragon illusory figure under his feet soared. In a flash, it disappeared into the horizon. A couple of minutes later, he had already appeared in a towering mountain range. With a wave of his sleeve, the enormous dragon illusory figure under his feet disappeared. After which, he charged in and landed in a concealed small valley.
In the depths of the valley, Mu Chen found a crack in the mountain and entered it. Then, he sat down cross-legged. He didn't immediately make a move. Instead, he withdrew all of his spiritual energy fluctuations and hid in the crack like a boulder.
Not long after Mu Chen withdrew his Spiritual Energy fluctuations, whooshing sounds rang out in the sky. Figures shot across the sky and swept their gazes around. In the end, they let out angry curses in unwillingness and left.
Within the mountain, Mu Chen's faintly shut eyes slowly opened as a smile rose from the corner of his mouth. Then, his expression turned grave as he carefully retrieved the Sky Segmented Bone, which had become abnormally quiet.
At this moment, the Sky Segmented Bone was abnormally quiet. It no longer had the frightening pressure from before, and looked extremely ordinary.
Fiddling with it, Mu Chen frowned his brows and flung his lips helplessly. He realised that no matter how he fiddled with it, there wasn't any reaction from the black bone. Even if he wanted to pour Spiritual Energy into it, it was completely useless. The moment his Spiritual Energy came into contact with the black bone, it would be bounced off.
Clearly, when the mysterious black paper sealed the Sky Segmented Bone, it had isolated it from others' detection.
Holding onto the black bone, Mu Chen gave a bitter laugh. Looks like he still needed the mysterious black paper to make a move. With his meager strength, he was simply unable to touch such a treasure.
Forget it, you're the boss. It's up to you.
Mu Chen muttered in his heart.
Just as his thoughts rang out, the mysterious black paper in his aurasea erupted with rays of black light. Rays of light seemed to surface on the thin black paper, appearing like the most ancient characters that recorded the mysteries of the heavens and earth, mysterious and unfathomable.
Whoosh!
A ray of light shot out from the mysterious black paper, gushing out from Mu Chen's palm and shooting towards the small black bone.
Chi Chi!
The colour on the black bone started to rapidly recede. In a short span of a few breaths, the Sky Segmented Bone had once again turned sparkling and translucent, akin to jade, appearing extremely perfect. Furthermore, this time, the Sky Segmented Bone did not violently resist, instead quietly lying on Mu Chen's palm.
Focusing his gaze, Mu Chen noticed that the surface of the jade bone was abnormally smooth, without the slightest flaw, appearing like a perfect work of art. Due to the sparkling and translucent jade bone, Mu Chen was unexpectedly able to see drops of golden blood slowly flowing within the jade bone.
There's actually a Heavenly Sovereign's blood essence within the jade bone?!
Looking at the golden blood essence, Mu Chen's heart started to beat rapidly. This was a Heavenly Sovereign's blood essence! Although there were only a few drops, even a Sovereign expert would have their eyes turn red with greed when faced with such an item. Although a Heavenly Sovereign had passed away in the Divine Spiritual Mountain Range in ancient times, with the passage of time, everything left behind by that Heavenly Sovereign had been corroded by time. Even his powerful blood essence had gradually dissipated between the heavens and earth. However, who could have imagined that there would still be a few drops remaining within the jade bone.
This was a supreme treasure!
Mu Chen felt that his breathing had become much more coarse and heavy.
Humm.
Just as Mu Chen was feeling ecstatic over the golden blood essence before his eyes, a humming sound rang out from the mysterious black paper within his aurasea once again.
The jade bone slowly floated up from within Mu Chen's palm. In the next instant, Mu Chen noticed rays of brilliance radiating from within. In the next instant, the few drops of golden blood essence started to slowly seep out from within the jade bone, before quietly hovering before Mu Chen.
A faint golden light radiated out, causing the mountain to appear as though it was forged from gold. Mu Chen tightly stared at the few drops of golden blood essence. Although there weren't any excessively astonishing Spiritual Energy fluctuations radiating from them, he was able to faintly sense the frightening power contained within those few drops of blood essence.
Even a Sovereign would have a change of expression on his face.
Furthermore, there seemed to be low and deep thunderous roars ringing out from within the golden blood essence. From the looks of it, this Heavenly Sovereign should have cultivated in some kind of special lightning attribute cultivation technique when he was alive, causing the frightening lightning energies within his body to be contained within his blood essence.
Whoosh!
Those few drops of golden blood essence suddenly turned into golden rays of light as they shot towards Mu Chen. Shortly after, under his incomparably astonished gaze, they drilled into his body.
Such a change practically caused Mu Chen's heart to be filled with despair. It was true that he coveted the Heavenly Sovereign's blood essence, but with his current strength, it was impossible for him to enjoy such an item. Just a single drop was enough to cause his body to explode!
Sizzle!
The golden blood essence did not care about whether Mu Chen was willing or not as it directly charged into his body, passing through his flesh and meridians. Thereafter, the golden colour started to spread out within Mu Chen's body at an astonishing speed. The feeling was akin to a drop of ink falling into a basin of water.
Boom!
Frightening thunderous roars resounded within Mu Chen's body once again. Mu Chen's face was deathly pale as he could sense the frightening power that had suddenly exploded within his body. His body felt as though it was about to explode at this moment.
That power was too frightening, and he was completely unable to endure it!
However, just when Mu Chen was feeling despair, those few drops of golden blood essence did not linger within his flesh and blood. Instead, they directly rushed into his body, drilling into his aura sea, before finally entering the mysterious black paper.
Whoosh!
Whoosh! As the golden blood essence entered the mysterious black paper, the latter started to tremble. Golden runes started to appear on the surface of the black paper. Those runes seemed to be ancient characters that were hidden within the depths of the mysterious black paper, radiating with endless mysteriousness and unfathomability.
The thing that was hidden within the mysterious black paper seemed to have been activated by the Heavenly Sovereign's blood essence!
Although Mu Chen wanted to know exactly what was hidden within the mysterious black paper, he did not dare to be the slightest bit distracted. Although those few drops of golden blood essence had been absorbed by Mu Chen, there were still some traces of blood that started to spread out when the golden blood essence passed through Mu Chen's flesh.
However, it was just a little bit of blood essence that was extremely frightening to Mu Chen.
Therefore, Mu Chen's entire body seemed to have turned into a furnace at this moment, with his flesh and blood about to combust.
Golden arcs of light, along with golden lightning, traversed through Mu Chen's flesh and blood, causing intense pain to spread throughout Mu Chen's body. At this moment, the veins on his forehead started to bulge, causing him to appear exceedingly sinister.
He was about to reach his limit. However, at this moment, the mysterious black paper had also sunk into some sort of transformation, and was basically unable to provide any help to him.
He could only rely on himself!
Mu Chen tightly clenched his teeth. With a wave of his sleeve, a lotus that seemed to be formed from black lightning appeared in a flash. This was the Lightning God's Lotus that he had obtained back when he was helping the Northern Sea Dragon. This Lightning God's Lotus was extremely effective in refining one's physical body. Ever since Mu Chen obtained it, he had been borrowing the power of the Lightning God's Lotus to refine his Lightning God's Physique.
As of now, he was in an extremely dangerous situation. The remnant Heavenly Sovereign's blood essence was too frightening, to the point of bursting his body. He had to strengthen his body once again. Otherwise, it would be hard for him to escape today.
Sitting on the Lightning God's Lotus, Mu Chen forcefully endured the burning sensation in his body. Forming seals with both of his hands, he activated the Lightning God's Physique's cultivation method. Although he was in an extremely dangerous situation, this could be considered as an opportunity. If he could absorb and refine the remnant Heavenly Sovereign's blood essence, his Lightning God's Physique might be able to make another breakthrough!
If he could make a breakthrough, it would greatly increase Mu Chen's strength. However, if he failed, he might not even be able to keep his life today!
Mu Chen clenched his teeth. At this moment, he could only give it his all!
