On the mountain peak, Mu Chen abruptly opened his tightly shut eyes. One of his eyes was covered in purple flames, while the other was flickering with lightning, making him look extremely mysterious and bizarre.
He abruptly stood up and waved his sleeve. Two streaks of light shot out from his palm like bolts of lightning, forming into a purple dragon and a black lightning elephant in the sky.
The two colossal figures hovered in the sky, causing the Spiritual Energy ripples in this region to violently surge.
"Dragon and Elephant Convergence!"
Mu Chen formed seals with both of his hands as the roar of a dragon and the howl of an elephant resounded across the horizon. Thereafter, the two colossal figures flew out, streaking across the horizon like meteorites, before clashing together.
Boom!
Frightening Spiritual Energy shock waves wreaked havoc as the two energies with completely different attributes violently clashed against each other. In an instant, even space started to distort as purple flames and black lightning violently darted about. A light disc roughly a foot in size slowly condensed out.
The light disc was split into two by purple and black. The purple dragon hovered, while the lightning elephant stood tall, looking like a dragon and elephant divine pearl. The two frightening energies converged together, causing a horrifying change.
Crack.
Space seemed to be unable to endure the energy as fine cracks started to spread out.
Mu Chen's face turned extremely grave at this moment. That's because this energy was a little out of his control. The Nine Dragons and Elephants Art was truly frightening.
On the dragon and elephant light disc, violent energies violently pulsated, causing signs of it collapsing.
Whoosh!
The frequency of the dragon and elephant light disc's trembling increased, before emitting a buzzing sound. Seeing this, Mu Chen immediately flicked his finger, causing the dragon and elephant light disc to turn into a violent streak of light as it flew towards the distance.
"Eh?"
Just when Mu Chen threw the dragon and elephant light disc that had gone out of control, the corner of his mouth twitched as he realised that it was heading towards the direction of the Jiu You Palace.
The streak of light streaked across the horizon as it swiftly descended towards the Jiu You Palace.
Whoosh!
A streak of light suddenly shot out from Jiu You Palace and appeared in the sky. It was Jiu You. She was startled as she looked at the sudden attack. Soon after, she glanced at the source of the attack, as a mixture of anger and amusement surfaced on her pretty face.
"This guy."
Jiu You grumbled as she extended her jade-like hand out. Boundless Spiritual Energy swept out, forming into a pair of huge radiant wings. As the wings closed, it was akin to a shield that protected her front.
Dong!
The light disc of the dragon and elephant fiercely bombarded the wings of light. Suddenly, a terrifying Spiritual Energy shockwave erupted. From afar, it looked like a grand firework.
Many people in the Jiu You Palace raised their heads in astonishment at this scene.
The Spiritual Energy shockwave from the explosion of the light disc of the dragon and elephant was completely blocked by the wings of light. But when the shockwave dissipated, the wings of light had also shattered, revealing Jiu You's beautiful face that was filled with astonishment.
Her defence was actually broken by Mu Chen's attack.
Although it was a casual attack, she was, after all, a Fourth Grade Sovereign. Compared to Mu Chen, she was a full three grades higher. This gap wasn't something that could be made up for with any means.
Nine Nether's gaze flickered as she took a step forth and appeared before Mu Chen, who was on a mountain peak far away. The latter gave her an embarrassed smile and immediately said, "A mistake, a mistake."
"What was that earlier?" Jiu You did not blame Mu Chen, but curiously asked.
"The Nine Dragons and Elephants Art from the auction." Mu Chen did not hide it as he smiled.
"Oh?
You succeeded? "
Jiu You's brows slightly twitched as the shock in her eyes grew denser. She had also seen that Divine Art, but she had no idea how to use it. But right now, Mu Chen actually succeeded?
"I've found some ways."
Mu Chen nodded his head. He did not hide anything from Jiu You and told her all the information that he had found.
When Nine Nether finished listening, her brows slightly knitted as she said, "So it turns out that the Nine Dragons and Elephants Art cannot be executed directly. It has to be refined in the Sovereign Sea. Furthermore, if that's the case, the dragon and elephant still have to use two special powers to change their attributes."
Mu Chen nodded his head. This was an extremely important and difficult point. If it wasn't for his Lightning God's Physique, possessing the power of lightning in his body, he might not be able to form the dragon and elephant.
"Your power of lightning comes from the Lightning God's Physique. Therefore, I'm afraid that it will be hard for you to reach greater mastery in the Nine Dragons and Elephants Art with that power of lightning."
Although Jiu You had yet to succeed in the Nine Dragons and Elephants Art, she was, after all, experienced and knowledgeable.
Hearing her words, Mu Chen nodded his head as he knitted his brows. Right now, he had only reached the initial mastery of the Nine Dragons and Elephants Art. Therefore, he could still rely on the power of lightning from the Lightning God's Physique to barely support it. But as his attainments in the future grew, the power of lightning that he would require wouldn't be something that his current power of lightning could support.
The pinnacle of the Nine Dragons and Elephants Art was to refine nine dragons and elephants. But right now, Mu Chen could only refine one dragon and one elephant.
"Then, what should I do?" Mu Chen scratched his head as he looked at Jiu You.
After a brief pondering, Jiu You smiled, "It can be said to be difficult, but it can also be said to be simple. You just have to fuse with another power of lightning attribute."
Currently, Mu Chen's Spiritual Energy had already fused with the Undying Flames. As long as he could fuse with another power of lightning, his Spiritual Energy would possess two different attributes, which would be perfectly compatible with the Nine Dragons and Elephants Art.
Mu Chen couldn't help rolling his eyes. Back then, just fusing with the Undying Flames had already caused him to hover between life and death. Now, if he wanted to fuse with another special power, the difficulty and danger wouldn't be as simple as one plus one. There were many Sovereign experts that wouldn't dare to fuse with two completely different attributes. That's because if there was a conflict between the two powers, the backlash that would be caused would definitely not be a small matter.
"Although it's extremely difficult for others, it's somewhat doable for you. After all, you have the Lightning God's Physique. Your body and the Spiritual Energy in your body have some adaptability to the power of lightning. Therefore, as long as you can find a power of lightning that isn't any weaker than the Undying Flames, you can give it a try." Jiu You said in a serious tone.
"A power of lightning that isn't any weaker than the Undying Flames." Mu Chen bitterly smiled. The Undying Flames weren't something that could be found on the streets. Wanting to find a power of lightning that was comparable to the Undying Flames wasn't an easy task.
"Anyways, there's no rush. Let's slowly look for it. If fate allows it, we will definitely meet it." Jiu You gently patted Mu Chen's shoulder as she comforted him.
Mu Chen nodded his head. Right now, he could only think like that. But fortunately, he wasn't in a rush. Right now, the Nine Dragons and Elephants Art was sufficient for him to slowly ponder over it.
"In another three days, the battle of the Greatlaw Goldpond will begin."
Jiu You's bright eyes stared at Mu Chen as she pursed her lips into a smile. "This time, whether our Jiu You Palace can redeem our face will depend on your performance."
"I will solemnly obey the orders of the Palace Lord."
Mu Chen cupped his fists and smiled. His black pupils were surging with an eager splendour. This could be considered as his first battle since coming to the Great Heaven Domain. Right now, in the Great Thousand World, he was the same as when he first came to Hokuang Reiwon, a nobody. However, he knew that one day, when he could stand out from the countless monstrous geniuses in the Great Thousand World, he would be able to fulfil the promise that he made with the girl that he had been yearning for day and night.
That day was something that he had been looking forward to.
On the mountain peak, the youth raised his head as he looked at the sky. The corner of his lips rose into an arc, looking confident and handsome.
Luo Li, wait for me to slaughter for you on that day.
…
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Boom!
Boom!
When the radiance of the third day tore apart the night sky and shone onto the earth, a deep drum slowly rang out in the Greatlaw Sky. The drum was filled with high fighting intent, as if the Spiritual Energy between the heavens and earth had become restless at this moment.
Silhouettes streaked across the horizon as sharp whooshing sounds of wind resounded throughout the heavens and earth.
The competition of the Greatlaw Goldpond could be considered as a grand event in the Great Heaven Domain. After all, in the Great Heaven Domain, the competition between the various factions was also extremely intense. Everyone wanted to stand out in this grand event. Therefore, to obtain a good result, the various factions would send out their strongest experts in hopes of raising the prestige of their respective factions in the Great Heaven Domain.
Naturally, not to mention the Greatlaw Goldpond, the miraculous ability to make the Sovereign Celestial Body even more perfect was sufficient to make countless Sovereign experts drool.
In the depths of the Great Heaven Domain, there was a majestic mountain that was covered in lush greenery. The peak of the mountain was dazzling with dazzling golden light. That was the location of the Greatlaw Goldpond.
This mountain was known as the Goldpond Peak, a forbidden land in the Great Heaven Domain. Usually, it was forbidden for ordinary people to enter. Only when the competition of the Greatlaw Goldpond started would it be temporarily allowed to enter.
At this moment, the Goldpond Peak was already shrouded in fighting intent as boiling noises soared into the sky.
The black sea of people extended from the foot of the mountain to the end of one's sight. It was an extremely spectacular scene.
At the foot of the mountain, there were nine massive stone platforms. The stone platforms were vast with ominous auras soaring into the sky. Eight extraordinary troops quietly stood there, the imposing manner that made one's heart palpitate.
There were thrones on the stone platforms with eight silhouettes quietly seated. Looking down, they were like wolves and eagles, causing many experts to not dare to look at them. The fame of the Nine Kings of the Great Heaven Domain was extremely resounding.
Of the nine stone platforms, the last stone platform was empty without anyone present. This scene was naturally noticed by many people, but they did not reveal any surprise on their faces. That's because they knew that it was the location of the Jiu You Palace. It's just that the Jiu You Palace had been absent for all these years, so everyone treated it as normal.
It was so much so that in many people's view, the Jiu You Palace only existed in name in the Great Heaven Domain.
Boom!
Just when many people inwardly curled their lips in disdain, a startling ominous aura suddenly exploded in the horizon. Countless people raised their heads and saw a patch of black clouds sweeping over, before heavily landing on the stone platform.
It was an army of nearly a thousand people donned in black armor. They quietly stood there, not uttering a single word, but the ominous aura that they exuded was indeed eye-catching.
At the very front of the group was a young man with a handsome face. He calmly raised his head and stared at the other eight stone platforms. There was no fear in his black eyes.
(I've been in Beijing for the past two days, so please forgive me for not updating properly.
Also, I would like to recommend the Awakening Heaven Path, the Butterfly Goddess' book. He kept saying that he would kill me if I didn't recommend it for him.
Actually, I don't need to recommend this book, since everyone knows about it.)
