A huge figure that was blazing with scarlet flames stood between the heavens and earth, as if it wanted to melt the earth as an indescribably violent blazing storm wreaked havoc.
Liu Ming's figure had already disappeared within the scarlet figure. Once the Sovereign Celestial Body was activated, it would be able to form the most perfect protection, protecting him within it.
The Sovereign Celestial Body was a perfect item that possessed both offensive and defensive capabilities. This was also the main reason why all Sovereigns would bitterly pursue it.
The scarlet figure's eyes slowly opened at this moment as flames shrouded it. At the same time, Liu Ming's voice that was filled with killing intent resounded throughout the heavens and earth.
"Do you know what despair is right now?"
The Sovereign Celestial Body was too important to the increase of a Sovereign expert's fighting strength. Therefore, when Liu Ming knew that Mu Chen had yet to refine his Sovereign Celestial Body, he had completely let down his guard.
The Sovereign Celestial Body that he had cultivated was called the Heavenly Flames Celestial Body. Amongst the 99 Rankings of Sovereign Celestial Bodies, it was ranked at the 97th rank. Although it was ranked at the bottom, if anyone dared to belittle it, then they would truly be foolish.
In the Great Thousand World, as long as one could ascend to the 99 Rankings of Sovereign Celestial Bodies, they were all extremely powerful. After all, the cultivation method of the Sovereign Celestial Body was a top secret to any sect or force, and it would definitely not be spread out. Therefore, many Sovereign experts could only obtain some ordinary cultivation method of the Sovereign Celestial Body. Some could only use the most ordinary method to refine the Sovereign Celestial Body with their own Spiritual Energy. If that's the case, then it wouldn't possess any other miraculous powers.
Like the Heavenly Flames Celestial Body that Liu Ming had cultivated.
This Sovereign Celestial Body required one's own Spiritual Energy and the assistance of the Heavenly Flames. Only after the two had perfectly fused together, could it be successfully cultivated.
Some powerful Sovereign Celestial Bodies.
They possessed the terrifying power to surpass realms in battle.
Therefore, in Liu Ming's view, when he knew that Mu Chen had yet to refine his Sovereign Celestial Body, the outcome of this battle was already unshakable.
"Heavenly Flames Celestial Body?"
Mu Chen had also raised his head at this moment as he stared at the scarlet figure that stood between the heavens and earth with a solemn gaze.
This Liu Ming obviously didn't just rely on his glib tongue. He indeed possessed an extremely powerful strength.
With such a powerful Sovereign Celestial Body, even amongst the First Grade Sovereigns, he could be considered as an elite.
"Can you handle it?"
Jiu You looked at Mu Chen with a trace of worry in her eyes. She had initially thought that Liu Zheng had only cultivated an ordinary Sovereign Celestial Body. She never imagined that this fellow would actually be able to successfully cultivate the Heavenly Flames Celestial Body.
"You just need to stop that old man. Even if you fail, we can just run for our lives together," Mu Chen said softly.
"Be careful." Jiu You nodded.
Without further ado, a cold glint gathered in her long and narrow eyes. Soon after, her figure moved and she appeared on the giant black bird, before shooting towards the distance.
When the black-robed elder saw this, he frowned.
With an indifferent smile, his silhouette trembled and he disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already before Nine Nether. With a wave of his sleeve, a storm swept up in this region.
When Jiu You and the black-robed elder were confronting each other, Mu Chen had placed all of his attention on the scarlet figure before him. This was the first time that he had relied on his own strength to fight with a genuine Sovereign Realm expert.
"Be careful."
Mu Chen said towards Lin Jing as his figure burst out.
He floated in the sky and abruptly stomped his feet. The space behind him distorted and vaguely, a vast ocean could be seen.
Within the ocean, torrential purple Spiritual Energy whistled.
"I'll let you experience the power of a Sovereign Celestial Body!" The Sovereign Celestial Body formed by Liu Ming stretched out his hand and pointed down with his scarlet finger.
Boom!
Space itself seemed to distort as his finger pressed down, before a scarlet red pillar of light that was roughly a thousand feet in size shot out. The light pillar was exceptionally viscous, appearing just like magma. Scarlet red flames rose from it, appearing incomparably berserk.
Liu Ming had only casually pointed his finger and the might was even more terrifying than Ji Xuan's all-out attack!
This was the true power of a Sovereign Celestial Body!
Mu Chen raised his head as he looked at the magma light pillar that was shooting over and deeply inhaled a mouthful of air. His robes fluttered without any wind as his gaze abruptly turned cold.
As he waved his sleeve, a torrential purple light surged from the distorted space behind him. A dazzling purple light swept out and clashed against the scarlet-red Spiritual Energy.
Boom!
When the two forces clashed, an earth-shattering noise resounded as a Spiritual Energy hurricane swept out. Huge cracks appeared on the ground below.
Up in the sky, Mu Chen still stood against the wind. The surface of his body was covered in a dazzling purple light as purple flames surged in his black pupils.
He actually relied on the strength of his own Spiritual Energy to forcefully resist Liu Ming's attack.
"You can actually withstand my Heavenly Flames Spiritual Energy?!"
A smear of shock appeared in the eyes of the scarlet figure. Clearly, Liu Ming found this outcome a little hard to believe. The Spiritual Energy that he had cultivated had fused with the Heavenly Flames. The might of it far exceeded ordinary Sovereign Spiritual Energy and was extremely overbearing. But right now, it was actually withstood by Mu Chen.
"So your Spiritual Energy is a little weird."
However, Liu Ming's eyes were sharp and he quickly realised that there was something strange about the purple Spiritual Energy around Mu Chen. The rising purple flames were something that even the Heavenly Flames in his Spiritual Energy couldn't suppress.
On a mountain peak far away, two figures appeared in a flash. A bewitching woman donned in a white fox-fur coat looked at the clash in the distance as a smear of shock flashed across her peach blossom pupils as she said in a soft voice, "That youth's Spiritual Energy seems a little peculiar."
"It should have fused with a rather powerful flame."
The middle-aged man beside her was also a little astonished as he said, "No wonder he dared to challenge Liu Ming without cultivating a Sovereign Celestial Body. He does have some ability."
"It's still too early to make a conclusion. Liu Ming's Heavenly Flames Celestial Body isn't an ordinary Sovereign Celestial Body." The bewitching woman smiled.
The middle-aged man nodded his head when he heard her words.
As they spoke, Mu Chen's figure abruptly shot out from afar. In the next instant, he had appeared before the scarlet figure. The top of his head shot out as a scarlet light soared into the sky, along with an astonishing ominous aura that spread out between the heavens and earth.
"Not only have I blocked your Heavenly Flames Spiritual Energy, I will also shatter your Heavenly Flames Celestial Body!"
The Great Meru Demonic Pillar appeared from the scarlet light as it expanded, becoming a hundred feet in size as it stood on the horizon, like an ominous object from the primordial times.
Mu Chen hugged the air as he swung the Great Meru Demonic Pillar and ruthlessly slammed it towards the Heavenly Flames Celestial Body without any hesitation. That terrifying energy even caused fine cracks to appear in space.
With Mu Chen's current strength, along with the power of the Great Meru Demonic Pillar, his attack had already reached an astonishing degree.
Such an attack even made the Heart Fairy Fox and Liu Ming, who were watching from afar, feel slightly fearful.
"Hmph!"
A sinister snort resounded from the mouth of the giant scarlet red figure as it clenched its fist. Scarlet flames swept out, transforming into an incomparably huge scarlet flame spear. Thereafter, the spear tore through the horizon, bringing along a torrential sea of flames as it violently clashed against the Great Meru Demonic Pillar.
Boom!
The sound of metal clashing resounded like thunder as the sound waves spread out like a hurricane, sweeping up a violent hurricane in this region.
Mu Chen's figure was sent flying. Every single step of his would cause an explosion in the air. When he was sent flying, the scarlet figure had actually taken a step back, flattening a mountain.
"What shocking strength!"
The middle-aged man couldn't help exclaiming from afar. He clearly did not expect that Mu Chen could actually rely on his own strength to confront Liu Ming, who had executed his Sovereign Celestial Body.
"This youth isn't simple." A smear of shock flashed across Heart Fairy Fox's eyes as she spoke.
The scarlet figure that was formed from Liu Ming had blazing flames blazing in its eyes. In the next instant, he stomped his feet, causing the ground to crumble as his massive figure flew out like a bolt of lightning.
Scarlet flames were like burning clouds as they enveloped the sky.
Clearly, Liu Ming had already started to thoroughly utilise the power of the Heavenly Flames Celestial Body.
Facing Mu Chen's stubborn resistance, he was already enraged.
"You actually want to use your own strength to confront my Sovereign Celestial Body, you're simply too foolish!"
Liu Ming's dark voice was like thunder as it resounded between the heavens and earth. Shortly after, the scarlet long spear turned into spear images that covered the heavens and earth, bringing along a torrential sea of flames as it enveloped towards Mu Chen. Within a radius of a few thousand feet, it was covered by the terrifying attack.
Mu Chen looked at the spear images that covered the heavens and earth. Every single spear image seemed to have an actual form, the power contained in them could tear the earth apart and shatter mountains.
His expression turned even more solemn as he formed seals with both of his hands.
Boom!
Peals of thunder resounded as the surface of Mu Chen's body violently flickered with dazzling lightning. At this moment, his body had also expanded by a size as nine lightning runes surfaced on his chest. Compared to the past, these nine lightning runes were clearly more condensed, to the point that they appeared to be corporeal.
"Let me take a look!"
Lightning flickered on the surface of Mu Chen's body as his black pupils grew even more eerie and sharp. He licked his lips as the arc on the corner of his lips was filled with fighting intent.
"Just how powerful is the Sovereign Celestial Body!"
Mu Chen hugged the air as he hugged the Great Meru Demonic Pillar and charged out without any hesitation. Purple lightning and flames swept out. Under the torrential sea of flames, his figure was as tiny as an ant.
However, there was a soaring fighting intent that no one dared to belittle!
My first battle in the Great Thousand World will start with you!
