Dazzling flames of light surged over from the horizon. Everywhere the flames of light passed, the blood light, which was filled with a monstrous stench of blood, was like snow meeting lava. It was completely destroyed at a speed that was as easy as crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood.
In a short span of a few breaths, the dark and gloomy horizon had instantly turned incomparably bright. In the distance of the bright sky, a giant figure was walking through the air, with a scorching sun behind its head, appearing extremely spectacular.
Countless people were dumbfounded as they watched this scene.
"That's … that's Mu Chen's Sovereign Celestial Body?"
"What Sovereign Celestial Body is that?
Judging from the fluctuations, it's definitely not an ordinary Sovereign Celestial Body. But judging from its appearance, it doesn't seem to be one of the 99 Rankings of Sovereign Celestial Bodies … "
"How weird …"
Whispers resounded between the heavens and earth, mixed with shock and doubt. They couldn't figure out the origin of the mysterious Sovereign Celestial Body before them.
Up in the sky, the three Emperors were also looking at the mysterious Sovereign Celestial Body with splendour flickering in their eyes.
"This Sovereign Celestial Body doesn't seem to be in the 99 Rankings of Sovereign Celestial Bodies." The Sky Vulture Emperor exclaimed in astonishment.
The Spiritual Pupils Emperor lightly frowned his brows as he faintly said, "Although the 99 Rankings of Sovereign Celestial Bodies are authoritative, the world is vast and there are some powerful Sovereign Celestial Bodies that are not in the 99 Rankings. Furthermore, there are some people with extraordinary talent that could refine some special Sovereign Celestial Bodies due to some fortuitous encounters."
When the Sleeping Emperor heard his words, he nodded his head as he smiled with an ethereal voice, "That's right. There are too many mysterious things in this world, and the 99 Rankings of Sovereign Celestial Bodies do not represent everything. Although the Sovereign Celestial Body is powerful, it still depends on the strength of the user. If the gap is too great, it would be hard to make up for it, no matter how powerful the Sovereign Celestial Body is."
His voice briefly paused as he cast a glance at the two Sovereign Celestial Bodies that were facing each other in the sky and smiled. "But, judging from the current situation, this mysterious Sovereign Celestial Body is sufficient to determine the outcome."
Although Mu Chen was only a First Grade Sovereign, his fighting strength wasn't any weaker than Cao Feng, who was a Second Grade Sovereign. Now that the two of them had brought out their Sovereign Celestial Bodies, with the eyesight of the Sleeping Emperor, he could naturally tell that Mu Chen had the absolute upper hand.
When the Sky Vulture Emperor heard his words, he smiled, while the Spiritual Pupils Emperor slightly knitted his brows. However, he did not say anything. A battle of this level wasn't of much interest to him. Although Cao Feng was someone from the Blood Hawk King's faction, if he was so useless, then he wouldn't have any value. If he had to abandon him, then so be it.
Up in the sky, Cao Feng's eyes were filled with astonishment as he looked at the mysterious figure that was flying over. Torrential waves surged in his heart as he could sense the pressure that was spreading over.
That level of pressure was sufficient to prove that the Sovereign Celestial Body that Mu Chen had cultivated was definitely more powerful than his Blood Shadow Celestial Body.
"How is that possible …"
Cao Feng roared in his heart. He naturally knew how precious such a powerful Sovereign Celestial Body was. Even he had only obtained the cultivation technique of the Blood Shadow Celestial Body after risking his life for the Blood Hawk Hall all these years. But right now, the Sovereign Celestial Body that Mu Chen had cultivated was even more powerful than his Blood Shadow Celestial Body!
"It must have been Jiu You who gave it to him!"
Dense flames of jealousy surged in Cao Feng's heart. His feelings for Jiu You were extremely complicated, it was admiration and inferiority. Back then, the reason why he betrayed the Jiu You Palace was naturally because he knew that he wasn't worthy of Jiu You. Therefore, he wanted to take a gamble. It was precisely because of this that when he saw that Jiu You had actually found someone to replace his position in the Jiu You Palace, he couldn't hold back the rage and killing intent in his heart.
He wanted to prove to Jiu You that he was absolutely irreplaceable!
"You think that you can defeat me with this Sovereign Celestial Body?
You're dreaming! "
Killing intent surged in Cao Feng's eyes like a tidal wave as he abruptly roared, forming seals with both of his hands at lightning speed.
Boom!
A torrential bloody light violently swept out once again as a huge blood-red pillar of light gushed out from the Blood Shadow Celestial Body. The colour of the pillar of light was as viscous as fresh blood.
"Blood Shadow Sword - Spirit Severing!"
The light pillars that were as viscous as fresh blood frantically fused together, forming into a huge blood sword that was roughly a hundred feet in size. On the surface of the huge sword, fresh blood flowed down like a stream.
Whoosh!
The enormous blood red sword seemed to warp indeterminately like a shadow, and it emanated a strange and gloomy fluctuation. In the next instant, the blood red sword actually vanished into thin air with a swish.
In the distant sky, behind the Great Solar Undying Body that Mu Chen had transformed into, space suddenly split apart as a bloody light flew out like a shadow. There wasn't the slightest fluctuation as it quietly slashed towards the head of the Great Solar Undying Body.
Buzz!
However, just when the shadow-like blood sword was about to slash down, a huge hand that seemed to be blazing with the flames of the sun stretched out and grabbed onto the blood sword. Sizzle!
Sizzle!
When the huge hand grabbed onto the blood sword, it abruptly clenched and the blood sword instantly exploded. As fresh blood splattered, it was immediately dissolved into nothingness.
Rustle!
An uproar broke out in this region. No one had expected that Cao Feng's bizarre attack would be so easily blocked by Mu Chen.
"Impossible!"
Cao Feng couldn't help roaring out. His blood sword was refined with the blood of many experts and Spiritual Beasts. The toughness of it wasn't any inferior to an ordinary Divine Artifact. But right now, it was directly crushed by Mu Chen's Sovereign Celestial Body.
The Great Solar Undying Body that Mu Chen had transformed into had flames of light surging in its eyes. It was filled with indifference as he looked at Cao Feng. His gaze was as if he was looking at an ant.
After truly activating the Great Solar Undying Body, he could feel the violent surge of energy in his body. The degree of it had already far exceeded the current Cao Feng.
The Great Solar Undying Body was, after all, one of the fundamental Celestial Bodies to cultivate the Primordial Immortal Body. The degree of terror that it possessed was not something that ordinary people could imagine.
Boom!
Mu Chen's gaze was indifferent as he clenched his fist and threw a fist out. Light blossomed and a fist that was like a blazing sun whistled out. In a flash, it had already pierced through space and appeared before Cao Feng, before heavily slamming down.
Facing such a lightning-like attack, Cao Feng could only cross his arms in front of him to protect himself. After that, he felt a terrifying power erupt from his arms.
Boom!
A deep sound rang out in the horizon as the massive Blood Shadow Celestial Body was forced back. Every single step would leave a deep footprint on the ground.
Boom!
The Blood Shadow Celestial Body abruptly stomped on the ground, causing the ground to crack. Only then did it stabilise its body. Cao Feng's eyes were filled with rage and savagery. The successive defeats caused the killing intent in his heart to be extremely dense.
"I must kill him!"
A roar rang out in Cao Feng's heart. He couldn't accept losing to Mu Chen. In order to pursue strength, he was even willing to betray. If he were to lose here, then what was the value of all his efforts?
Therefore, he must kill Mu Chen!
Cao Feng's eyes turned red as he abruptly raised both of his arms. Blood-red Spiritual Energy surged out from his palms like a tidal wave. This time, there was real blood gathering within the Spiritual Energy.
It was the blood that came from Cao Feng's body.
Rustle!
The sound of viscous water rang out as a blood-red sphere that was roughly a hundred feet in size swiftly formed between the palms of the Blood Shadow Celestial Body. The surface of the blood-red sphere was constantly wriggling as blood spikes stretched out and retracted …
An extremely frightening violent fluctuation quietly spread between the heavens and the earth.
On the Greatlaw Goldstage, Xu Qing, Zhou Yue and the rest had grave expressions on their faces. When they saw the blood-red sphere in Cao Feng's palm, their faces couldn't help slightly changing.
"That fellow has gone insane!"
They couldn't help cursing. They could naturally sense that Cao Feng had actually drawn out all the blood in his body. Clearly, he had the intention to kill. He wanted to kill Mu Chen!
However, the price he had to pay was too great. Even if he won, he would need at least half a year to gradually recover.
In the Jiu You Palace, Tang Bing and Tang Rou were tightly clenching their fists. Their faces were filled with nervousness. It was so much so that even Jiu You's brows were slightly knitted and her face was cold. She had clearly underestimated Cao Feng's killing intent for Mu Chen.
Her figure gently straightened as she prepared to make a move. Clearly, the moment Mu Chen was in danger, she would make a move.
"Demonic Blood Sphere!"
Cao Feng's enraged roar resounded as a torrential blood light exploded. The massive sphere of blood had instantly turned into a blood-red streak of light as it shot towards Mu Chen at lightning speed.
Wherever the blood-red sphere passed, cracks would appear in the space. Even the ground below was brutally torn apart, leaving an abyss-like mark.
Mu Chen looked at the Demonic Blood Sphere that was shooting over at a shocking speed. Facing such a shocking attack, he still did not make any attempt to dodge. Instead, he slowly clenched his fist.
"Then, I'll let you see the true power of the Great Solar Undying Body."
A murmur rang out in Mu Chen's heart. Shortly after, his eyes abruptly turned sharp as an endless lustre burst out from his palm. In the center of his palm, there seemed to be a blazing sun that was faintly discernible.
"Great Solar Palm!"
A deep voice abruptly rang out in Mu Chen's heart. The palm that seemed to contain a sun fiercely slapped out, directly piercing through space and fearlessly slammed against the light sphere that contained all the blood in Cao Feng's body.
Boom!
The two forces collided and instantly, light enveloped the heavens and earth. Countless people widened their eyes at this moment.
This was a battle of life and death. Who was stronger and who was weaker?
