Blood-like patterns appeared on Mo Xingtian's face, forming a blood rune that would cause one's hair to stand on end. The blood rune seemed to squirm, as if it possessed some sort of life force. If one took a closer look, one would discover that the blood rune seemed to have pierced into Mo Xingtian's face. As it squirmed, it was unexpectedly sucking on Mo Xingtian's blood.
At this moment, the latter's face had become slightly thinner and paler.
This feeling was indescribably strange.
Upon seeing this, the faces of Xia Youran and the rest turned deathly pale, while horror and shock appeared within their eyes. Never in their wildest dreams did they imagine that Mo Xingtian would actually be so ruthless, to directly use such a move. From the looks of it, he truly intended to thoroughly kill Mu Chen here.
Devouring Dragon Demonic Rune.
This was an exceedingly frightening secret technique of the Demonic Dragon Palace. It's said to be planted within one's body using genuine dragon blood. Once activated, the Demonic Rune would suck on one's blood, allowing it to grow stronger and erupt with rather frightening power.
This secret technique was exceedingly powerful. However, the requirements for planting the rune were exceedingly harsh. Within the entire younger generation of the Demonic Dragon Palace, only Mo Xingtian was able to accomplish such a feat. Even Mo Longzi was far from reaching such a level. However, this was the first time that Xia Youran and the rest had seen Mo Xingtian activate the Devouring Dragon Demonic Rune. Even when they had crossed hands with him in the past, the latter had never used it.
Clearly, Mo Xingtian was determined to kill Mu Chen.
Under the countless shocked gazes, Mo Xingtian's deathly still eyes indifferently looked towards the incoming divine seal. With a flick of his finger, the blood-red Demonic Rune on his face started to slowly detach from his face.
As it swelled in the wind, it instantly grew to a hundred feet in size.
The blood-red light squirmed about, appearing like giant dragons entangling with each other, as a dragon roar filled with baleful aura erupted.
"Die!"
Mo Xingtian pointed his finger at the air, as a voice without the slightest trace of emotion rang out from his mouth.
Whoosh!
The blood-red demonic rune shot out and directly collided with the divine seal, causing blood light to fill the air.
The Divine Seal, which was like a hot knife through butter, was completely blocked and could no longer advance.
Mu Chen looked at this scene.
His pupils slightly shrunk, while his skin turned a little cold. He could sense a fatal danger from the blood red devil symbol.
Chi chi!
The blood-red demonic rune enveloped him like a blood net.
The Divine Seal, on the other hand, was corroded by the bloody light.
The Seal of the Four Divine Gods trembled rapidly as its vast and boundless power slowly disappeared. Evidently, the Seal of the Four Divine Gods was no match for the Demonic Symbol.
Mu Chen had a trump card, but Mo Xingtian also had a trump card that could turn the situation around.
"Break!"
Mo Xingtian smiled faintly.
He suddenly clenched his fist. His eyes were deathly still.
A cold look flashed across his face.
Bang!
Blood light suddenly erupted from the blood-red demonic rune, filling the sky like a sea of blood. Under the corrosion of the sea of blood, the Divine Seal was completely submerged.
Urgh.
With the Divine Seal destroyed, Mu Chen vomited a mouthful of blood, while his face turned pale as he tightly clenched his teeth. Mo Xingtian was indeed formidable. He never imagined that even after mastering the Four Divine Constellation Scripture, he would still be unable to defeat the latter. Of course, Mu Chen also knew that this wasn't because the Four Divine Constellation Scripture was inferior to Mo Xingtian's demonic rune. Instead, it was because there was a huge gap between his strength and Mo Xingtian's.
Even though he had borrowed the fiendish energy of the Great Meru Demonic Pillar to close the gap by quite a bit, he was still only at the initial Heavenly Completion stage.
"Let's end it here."
Mo Xingtian coldly looked at Mu Chen, whose trump card had been destroyed. With a wave of his sleeve, the blood-red demonic rune howled out, hiding the skies and covering the earth as it enveloped Mu Chen. As blood light radiated from it, it seemed to have sealed off all of Mu Chen's escape routes.
Everyone could see that Mo Xingtian was already planning to reel in the net and end this fight.
Was this the end of the fight?
Countless people held their breaths in silence.
Outside of the Divine Spiritual Mountain, the bigwigs of the various factions were closely watching the gigantic screen of light, with quite a few people inwardly sighing. Hokuang Reiwon's Mu Chen was truly formidable, being able to force Mo Xingtian to such a state with his Heavenly Completion stage initial stage cultivation. If he was given a few more years to cultivate, there might really be no one in the younger generation that would be his match.
However, it was a pity that geniuses would always die prematurely.
From the looks of it, Mo Xingtian was clearly planning to deal the killing blow. From the looks of it, he had also sensed the astonishing potential of the youth before him, and didn't want to leave behind any future troubles.
A few gazes turned towards the direction of Dean Tai Cang and the rest. However, not a single ripple of emotion could be seen on the face of the Dean of Hokuang Reiwon as he continued to stare at the Spiritual Energy screen of light. At this moment, the blood-red demonic rune had already enveloped all of Mu Chen's escape routes. A sea of blood filled the air as killing intent surged.
At this moment, Mu Chen was clearly in a perilous situation where he had a slim chance of survival.
Behind Dean Tai Cang, Luo Li's jade-like hands tightly gripped onto her longsword, her slender fingers turning slightly pale due to the amount of force she was exerting. Clearly, the current situation had caused her to feel somewhat worried.
Standing beside her, Ling Xi gently held onto Luo Li's slender jade-like hands as she softly said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen. If anything unforeseen happens, both the Dean and I will take action."
Nodding her head, Luo Li's beautiful eyes continued to stare at the screen of light. She was somewhat clear about some of Mu Chen's means. However, at this moment, she was completely unable to figure out exactly how Mu Chen would break out of this hopeless situation.
The atmosphere in Hokuang Reiwon was extremely stifling as all of the students had their gazes fixed on the Spiritual Energy screen of light. Even Shen Cangsheng, Li Xuantong and the rest had their hands covered in cold sweat. Clearly, they could sense the unfavourable situation that Mu Chen was currently in. However, there was nothing they could do about it, and could only pray that Mu Chen would be able to hang on, despite knowing that it would be an extremely difficult task.
"Do your best, Mu Chen! All of us are watching you!"
Hearing those words, Shen Cangsheng and the rest gave a soft sigh. The only thing they could do was to cheer and cheer for him. As for the true fight, he could only rely on Mu Chen himself.
Rumble!
Akin to a demonic god, the blood-red demonic rune brought along a sea of blood that blotted the skies as it surged over. The scene of it blotting out the sun caused the scalps of countless experts below to turn numb. This Mo Xingtian was truly worthy of being the figure standing at the apex within the younger generation of the Northern Heavens Continent.
Such a method might truly be comparable to those apex experts that had truly passed their Spiritual Energy Disaster.
From the looks of it, Mu Chen might be able to do anything.
It would already be extremely difficult for him to reverse the situation.
Xia Youran's beautiful eyes fluctuated. In the end, clenching her teeth, she was about to take action.
However, before she could take action, Liu Ying and the other two had already locked onto her, blocking her path. With an indifferent tone, they said, "From the looks of it, that Mu Chen will definitely die. Why do you want to cause trouble?
What if you anger Mo Xingtian?
I think that you guys won't feel good when that happens. "
Clenching her teeth tightly, Xia Youran stared hatefully at Liu Ying and the other two. However, in the end, she didn't take action.
That's because she knew that she wouldn't be able to break through the obstruction of those three.
Standing behind Xia Youran, Xi Qinghai and Su Buxiu could only sigh in the end.
Faced against such a powerful Mo Xingtian, they truly didn't have much courage to go against him.
Indeed, they didn't have much courage to go against him. From the looks of it, they might have to return empty-handed from the Divine Spiritual Mountain this time.
Under the countless pitiful and sympathetic gazes, Mu Chen had a grave expression as he stared at the crimson demonic rune that was enveloping him. The deathly aura that was blowing towards him had caused his heart to violently throb as well. In the end.
He smiled bitterly, but in those black eyes, there was a hint of coldness.
However, within those black pupils of his, a ferocious shadow started to condense bit by bit.
However, within his black pupils, I, Mu Chen, have passed through countless life and death situations over the years. However, I've managed to endure all of them. If you, Mo Xingtian, want to take my life, I'm afraid that it won't be as easy as you think!
With a furious wave of his sleeve, over a dozen jade bottles appeared in a flash. These jade bottles were transparent in colour, yet scarlet-red flames were present within them.
With a flick of his finger, Mu Chen shattered all of those jade bottles. As they shattered, the scarlet-red flames within them instantly poured out. As they expanded, they appeared to transform into a scarlet-red sea of flames that filled the sky, with Mu Chen within it.
As the scorching heat spread out, the surrounding space started to warp and distort. Waves of intense pain radiated from Mu Chen's body due to the scorching heat. He was completely unable to control those flames. Releasing them in such a manner would cause him to suffer injuries as well.
"That's …"
Mu Chen's actions caused some bewildered voices to ring out in the surroundings. Clearly, no one knew what he was planning to do.
Xia Youran was also slightly taken aback. The flames within those jade bottles had been gathered by her for Mu Chen. However, she did not know what Mu Chen was planning to do. From the looks of it, was he planning to use them to contend against Mo Xingtian's Devil Symbol?
However, that was completely impossible. Without mentioning whether he could control those flames, even if he could, those flames alone would not be able to block Mo Xingtian's attack.
Ignoring the bewildered gazes, Mu Chen continued to stare at the scarlet-red flames that were spreading out. Ignoring the intense searing pain radiating from his body, he took a deep breath, before sitting down in the air. Extending his hand, a sliver of purplish flames stealthily rose from his palm.
This was the Undying Flame!
Back when Mu Chen had helped Shen Cangsheng and the rest expel the poison, he had borrowed an Undying Flame from the Jiu You Sparrow!
The Undying Flame was a mysterious flame that could only be born from the body of the Jiu You Sparrow after it had successfully evolved. Compared to the Jiu You Flames that he had fused with in the past, its might was many times stronger. At this moment, this was Mu Chen's final trump card!
Forming a seal with a single hand, Mu Chen gave a low roar, before a suction force erupted from his palm.
Huff!
As the suction force erupted, the scarlet-red flames in the surroundings instantly howled over. In the end, they transformed into flaming pillars that rushed towards Mu Chen's palm. At that spot, the purplish flame seedling gently wiggled. The moment those flames came into contact with it, they were completely absorbed.
In the short span of a few breaths, the scarlet-red sea of flames had completely disappeared, while the Undying Flame in Mu Chen's palm had grown several times stronger. Its dark purple color made it appear extremely mysterious.
The flame rose from Mu Chen's palm, illuminating Mu Chen's face, making it appear exceptionally abstruse.
Raising his head, Mu Chen sent a faint smile towards Mo Xingtian in the distance. However, not a single shred of emotion could be seen within that smile. In the next instant, he did something that caused everyone to be greatly astonished. Raising his palm, he swallowed the extremely frightening purple flames with a single gulp.
"If you want to fight with your life on the line, I'll accompany you. Let's see who will be buried here today."
