Rustle!
In the depths of the Greatlaw Goldpond
The huge light silhouette sat cross-legged quietly. The viscous lake water around it, which was as viscous as golden lava, was slowly flowing towards the light silhouette.
Behind the silhouette's head, the Great Sun rotated and emitted a burst of Bright Flame, refining all of the golden liquid. Then, it turned it into strands of golden light and absorbed all of it.
As more and more of the golden liquid was refined, the golden light that was slowly swimming on the body of the massive light figure was also slowly growing thicker.
Vaguely, those golden light rays looked like small snakes that were clinging onto the body of the massive figure.
In the path of those golden snakes, faint golden traces would be left behind, along with a mysterious energy being emitted, causing this Sovereign Celestial Body to become even more solid.
This Sovereign Celestial Body was naturally Mu Chen's Great Solar Undying Body.
At this moment, Mu Chen was seated within the Great Solar Undying Body as he slowly opened his eyes. He looked at the Sovereign Celestial Body that was enveloping his body and his gaze stopped at the golden snakes.
He could sense that the energy of the Goldpond that he had absorbed had turned into a total of eight golden snakes. Those eight golden snakes were coiling around the Sovereign Celestial Body. Every single time they swam, they would bring along a scorching sensation. The Spiritual Energy in that area seemed to have become extremely lively, to the point of even boiling.
Mu Chen knew that after he had refined those eight golden snakes, his Great Solar Undying Body would become even more powerful. However … Mu Chen's brows slightly knitted together.
The strengthening did not reach his expectations.
He was still far from the so-called Daluo Golden Body.
"The energy of the Goldpond that I've absorbed here is far from enough."
Mu Chen had a look of pondering on his face. Although the energy of the Goldpond was extremely vigorous at this depth, it was clearly impossible for him to refine the Daluo Golden Body in this place.
Mu Chen's eyes flickered.
After that, his gaze started to shift downwards, and he looked towards the depths of the Goldpond. It was still dazzling gold there, and the bottom couldn't be seen at all. The feeling of profoundness caused fear to arise in the hearts of people.
After entering the Greatlaw Goldpond.
Mu Chen was well aware of how terrifying the pressure here was. If it wasn't for the Great Solar Undying Body, Mu Chen wouldn't be able to reach his current position with his cultivation of First Grade Sovereign.
But now, even this position could not satisfy Mu Chen.
Because he knew that the reason why he entered the Greatlaw Goldpond wasn't just to simply refine his Sovereign Celestial Body.
His ambition was stronger than the others.
Because he needed strength.
Mu Chen's gaze flickered. Soon after, he deeply inhaled a breath of air as his eyes gradually turned cold.
He firmly believed that there was no power in this world that came for free. Since he wanted to obtain that power, he had to pay the corresponding price.
If he was helpless against this Daluo Golden Body, then what should he do in the future when he faced an even more dangerous situation?
Could it be that he would continue to cower?
If that's the case, he might never be able to fulfil his promise to that girl.
Mu Chen no longer hesitated as he abruptly formed seals with both of his hands. The Sovereign Celestial Body violently trembled as it swiftly descended towards the depths of the Greatlaw Goldpond.
Huala.
The massive Sovereign Celestial Body brutally tore apart the golden lake water.
Powerful Spiritual Energy rippled as it resisted the terrifying pressure that was surging over from all directions like a tide.
A hundred feet … two hundred feet …
In less than ten breaths of time, Mu Chen had already descended another four hundred feet. At this moment, he was roughly at a depth of twelve hundred feet in the Greatlaw Goldpond.
As he continued to descend.
Mu Chen could sense the pressure that was surging over was practically multiplying. The pressure was like layers of mountains that were constantly stacking on top of each other.
But facing the pressure, Mu Chen still did not have the slightest bit of hesitation as he continued to descend!
The Spiritual Light on the Sovereign Celestial Body had already been forced back into his body due to the terrifying pressure. Even if Mu Chen was within the protection of the Sovereign Celestial Body, he still vaguely felt a stinging pain.
"Fifteen hundred feet …"
Mu Chen lightly clenched his teeth as his skin gradually turned red. However, not only did he not shrink back, his black pupils became even more blazing and stubborn. That's because he could sense that the Goldpond Energy in the depths of the Greatlaw Goldpond had reached a terrifying degree.
Only in this extremely deep place could he refine the Daluo Golden Body.
It's still not enough!
Mu Chen's eyes turned red as he controlled the Great Solar Undying Body to descend once again. At this depth, the pressure was still stacking even further down ten feet.
Even if Mu Chen possessed the Great Solar Undying Body, the speed of his descent was getting slower and slower, as if he had sunk into a swamp.
This time, after an entire half an hour, Mu Chen was actually unable to descend another hundred feet.
Furthermore, the terrifying pressure from this short hundred feet had actually caused the size of the Great Solar Undying Body to shrink by a size. The originally dazzling Spiritual Light had even dimmed down a little.
However, Mu Chen still did not give up. His black pupils looked deeper, allowing drops of blood to seep out from his reddened skin.
The viscous golden lake water was forcefully torn apart as the Sovereign Celestial Body continued to descend.
Another hundred feet … one hundred and fifty feet … two hundred feet …
…
Outside the Goldpond Peak
Every single gaze in this region was focused on the four golden talismans. However, the three Emperors had a calm expression on their faces. In recent years, the Greatlaw Goldpond had opened many times and they had seen too many similar situations. Therefore, it was hard for them to have any ripples.
After all, in their eyes, as long as one couldn't refine the Daluo Golden Body in the Greatlaw Goldpond, the other levels were all the same. There wasn't any difference between them. At most, it would only be a difference of fifty steps and a hundred steps.
Buzz!
While the three Emperors were absent-minded, one of the four golden talismans suddenly became resplendent. Golden light spread out, covering the light of the other three golden talismans.
Although the other three golden talismans were also constantly growing stronger, it wasn't even worth mentioning when compared to the fourth golden talisman.
Everyone in this region was somewhat astonished by this scene, before cries of surprise rang out. It was likely that they understood what the intensity of the four golden talismans represented.
That light clearly meant that someone was making a breakthrough towards the depths of the Greatlaw Goldpond.
As the golden light poured into the eyes of the three Emperors, their eyes abruptly narrowed. It was so much so that even the Sleeping Emperor had narrowed his eyes as he stared at the dazzling golden talisman.
"Someone is charging towards the depths of the Greatlaw Goldpond." The Sky Vulture Emperor said in astonishment.
"Judging from the brightness, it should be close to two thousand feet."
The Spiritual Pupils Emperor was also a little startled, since he was well-aware of the pressure at a depth of two thousand feet in the Greatlaw Goldpond. At that place, even a Third Grade Sovereign wouldn't be able to endure it, and the four people that had entered clearly hadn't reached that level yet.
"Who is it?"
Their faces were filled with shock. Because of the concealment of the Greatlaw Goldpond, even with their strength, they couldn't find out who was so daring to charge towards the depth of two thousand feet.
"Looks like that person's ambition isn't small."
The Sleeping Emperor finally smiled with interest. Judging from the looks of it, that person was clearly aiming for the Daluo Golden Body. After so many years in their Great Heaven Domain, the number of people that could achieve this could be counted with one's fingers.
"I'm just afraid that his heart is higher than the heavens." The Spiritual Pupils Emperor said after pondering for a brief moment.
The Sky Vulture Emperor had also frowned his brows. Although it was good to have ambition, one had to act according to one's capabilities at times. The danger contained in the Greatlaw Goldpond was sufficient to annihilate any one of the four of them. If they were too stubborn at times, they might even fall into it.
"It has been a long time since something like this has happened. Let's see if there will be anything that can surprise us this time." The Sleeping Emperor lightly smiled as he stared at the golden talisman that was getting more and more dazzling.
Down below, Tang Bing and Tang Rou were a little nervous as they looked at the dazzling golden talisman, before whispering to Jiu You, "Big Sister Jiu You, that couldn't have been done by Mu Chen, right?"
Although Mu Chen's strength was only at the First Grade Sovereign Realm and it didn't seem possible for him to achieve such a feat, their girls' intuition told them that this was probably related to Mu Chen.
Jiu You's gaze was fixed on the golden talisman as a charming smile appeared on her cold and elegant face. She lightly nodded her head, "It should be him."
Although her voice was soft, it was filled with great confidence.
Amongst the four of them, although Xu Qing and the rest were strong, they weren't able to reach a depth of two thousand feet. Only that fellow, Mu Chen, had concealed many cards up his sleeves. Therefore, he was the only one that could do such an unexpected feat.
"Let me see what level you can reach this time …" Jiu You's lips curled as she muttered to herself.
Under the countless gazes in this region, the golden talisman's lustre grew more and more dazzling. Roughly half an hour later, the lustre was like a blazing golden sun.
The lustre had completely covered the other three golden talismans.
Every single gaze had a smear of shock on it.
The gazes of the three Emperors had also gradually turned grave and astonished.
Buzz!
A buzzing noise suddenly rang out from the golden talisman. Shortly after, the golden talisman seemed to be unable to bear it any longer as it burst out with myriad feet of golden light that enveloped a radius of a hundred miles.
The bodies of the three Emperors trembled at this moment as they couldn't help narrowing their eyes.
That fellow actually managed to reach a depth of two thousand feet!
Just when everyone was shocked by the dazzling golden light, there seemed to be a peculiar fluctuation coming from the depths of the Greatlaw Goldpond.
