"Mandala?"
When Mu Chen heard that weird name, he couldn't help being stunned for a brief moment. He lowered his head and carefully glanced at the little girl in his embrace. However, the latter had her eyes tightly shut and no longer paid any attention to him. Thus, he could only bitterly smile.
Although he couldn't figure out the background of that mysterious little girl, there was something that was beyond doubt. She possessed a terrifying strength that even surpassed the three Emperors of the Great Heaven Domain.
Furthermore, she seemed to be somewhat familiar with the Immortal Page. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to expose the Great Solar Undying Body that Mu Chen had cultivated. After all, it was a rare Sovereign Celestial Body that wasn't in the 99 Rankings of Sovereign Celestial Bodies.
Towards her, Mu Chen was naturally extremely cautious and fearful in his heart. But judging from the current situation, she didn't seem to have any intentions of leaving. On the contrary, she wanted to stay by his side. However, Mu Chen didn't dare to have the slightest bit of objection. If he angered her, she could probably kill him with a flip of her hand.
And Mu Chen didn't want to die in such a dubious manner.
Furthermore, the reason why she was staying by his side was because of the Immortal Page in Mu Chen's body.
"Sigh …"
Mu Chen hugged the little girl named Mandala and helplessly sighed in his heart. Shortly after, he formed seals with a single hand. The Great Solar Undying Body instantly burst forth, splitting apart the viscous golden lake water as it charged up.
Now that he had successfully cultivated the Daluo Golden Body, there wasn't a need for him to stay here any longer. Furthermore, he could sense that the time for the Greatlaw Goldpond to close up was approaching.
…
Outside the Goldpond Peak
In just a few days, the atmosphere here had been boiling. The source of the boiling was naturally the golden talisman that was emitting a golden light that was akin to a blazing sun.
The intensity of the light was the first time in all the years that the Greatlaw Goldpond had opened.
Everyone knew that there was definitely someone cultivating the Daluo Golden Body this time around, and from the looks of it, the Daluo Golden Body was extremely powerful.
Furthermore, judging from the looks of it, there seemed to be a chance of him successfully cultivating it.
This point caused quite a few people to be shocked. On top of being shocked, they were also extremely curious.
They really wanted to know which genius amongst the four great commanders possessed such shocking abilities.
After all, there were truly too many geniuses that had fallen before the Daluo Goldbody in the recent years.
The three Emperors quietly stood in the sky, their gazes were also staring at the dazzling golden talisman as the astonishment in their eyes grew denser.
The light from the golden talisman continued to shine for nearly four days. During this period, the light did not show any signs of weakening.
This also meant that the fellow who had reached the deepest part of the Greatlaw Goldpond had really persisted all the way.
"That's interesting." The Sleeping Emperor smiled slightly and said with interest. It was obvious that with his indifferent character, he wouldn't be able to do anything.
Because of this, they were all interested.
The Sky Vulture Emperor and Spiritual Pupils Emperor had astonishment written on their faces as their gazes flickered. They were guessing who could achieve such a stunning result. After all, this was probably the first time that someone had achieved such a feat in all these years, so they wanted to know.
Just who was it that could successfully cultivate the Daluo Golden Body?
Down below, aside from Jiu You, the other eight Kings also had shock written on their faces, especially the Asura King, Mountain Splitting King and Blood Hawk King.
Their bodies were tensed up as their gazes flickered. If it was a Commander under them that could achieve such a feat, then their reputation would definitely soar in this competition of the Greatlaw Goldpond.
"It should be about time.
The opening of the Greatlaw Goldpond is about to reach its limit. "The Sleeping Emperor suddenly said with his eyes narrowed.
Boom!
In that instant when his voice landed, a golden light soared into the sky from the majestic mountain peak. Everyone immediately raised their heads and saw three huge figures tearing apart the golden light in the sky as they appeared in the sky.
Everyone immediately directed their gazes over.
Those three huge figures were the three Sovereign Celestial Bodies. At this moment, the three Sovereign Celestial Bodies were enveloped in a dazzling golden light that looked indestructible. A powerful aura was emitted from them, as if it was attracting whistling gales.
However, when everyone saw the three Sovereign Celestial Bodies, disappointment flashed in their eyes. That's because they could sense that although the three Sovereign Celestial Bodies were extremely powerful, there was still a considerable gap to cultivating the Daluo Golden Body.
Boom!
Just when many people had disappointment flashing in their eyes, they saw a huge golden beam of light soaring into the sky from the peak of the Goldpond Peak. Within the beam of light, a huge golden figure stepped out.
That huge figure was as dazzling as gold with a sun hovering behind its head. On the huge body that was flickering with golden light, eight dragon runes were slowly wriggling as faint dragon roars resounded.
Golden light blossomed as an indescribable pressure spread out, causing the other three Sovereign Celestial Bodies to pale in comparison. It was so much so that even the lustre emitted from them was suppressed.
Countless pairs of eyes instantly shot over. Soon after, rich shock surged onto their faces. Quite a number of people gently inhaled a breath of cool air at this moment.
"Eight dragon runes … it's indeed the Daluo Golden Body …"
Under the commotion, the three Sovereign Celestial Bodies in the sky retracted their lustre and dissipated, revealing Xu Qing, Zhou Yue, and Wu Tian's original bodies.
The three of them were a little shocked as they looked at the Sovereign Celestial Body that looked as if it was forged from gold. Xu Qing and Zhou Yue had complicated gazes, while Wu Tian's eyes were filled with disbelief, concealing the jealousy and darkness in his eyes.
Clearly, none of them had expected that Mu Chen would actually be able to successfully cultivate the Daluo Golden Body!
They were all people that had gone into the depths of the Greatlaw Goldpond, so they naturally knew the terrifying pressure. Wanting to go two thousand feet deep to absorb the energy of the Goldpond wasn't something that they could achieve with their current strength.
But right now, Mu Chen had accomplished it. Furthermore, he was only at the First Grade Sovereign Realm!
Xu Qing and Zhou Yue looked at Mu Chen with grave gazes. It was so much so that there was even a little fear in their eyes for the first time. It looked like this peaceful-looking youth was concealing quite a bit of things.
Wu Tian's gaze was dark as a cold killing intent flashed in the depths of his eyes. The greater the potential that Mu Chen had displayed, the denser the killing intent in his heart became.
"It's indeed Mu Chen!"
In the direction of the Jiu You Palace, Tang Bing and Tang Rou couldn't help exclaiming in joy. Countless people in the Jiu You Palace had blazing gazes as they vaguely felt admiration for Mu Chen. After all, it had been so many years, and he was the Commander that could cultivate the Daluo Golden Body in the Greatlaw Goldpond.
But it was only Mu Chen alone.
A smear of a smile uncontrollably appeared on Jiu You's cold face. This action of Mu Chen had caused the reputation of their Jiu You Palace to soar.
In the future, who would dare to say that there was no one in their Jiu You Palace in the Great Heaven Domain?
On the other eight stone stages, the eight Kings were also a little startled by this outcome. Most of them shook their heads, since this outcome was too unexpected.
Only the Blood Hawk King indifferently sat on his stone seat as a smear of eeriness flashed across his eyes as he stared at the dazzling golden body.
"Haha, it's indeed that brat." Up in the sky, the Sleeping Emperor chuckled as he watched this scene.
"Looks like Jiu You has brought back a fellow with great potential." The Sky Vulture Emperor smiled in satisfaction.
This time, Jiu You's eyesight was clearly much better. Regardless of character or potential, this youth named Mu Chen wasn't something that Cao Feng could be compared to.
The Spiritual Pupils Emperor indifferently smiled as his gaze was unfathomable.
Under the countless scorching gazes, Li Tianlan's expression changed.
The Sovereign Celestial Body that seemed to be forged from gold gradually dissipated as Mu Chen's figure appeared before everyone's eyes.
When he appeared, it had unsurprisingly caused waves of complicated sighs. Although they could already confirm it upon seeing the Sovereign Celestial Body, everyone couldn't help sighing when the dust finally settled.
This outcome.
Probably no one had expected it.
Since the establishment of the Great Heaven Domain, Mu Chen was probably the only one that could refine the Daluo Golden Body with a cultivation of First Grade Sovereign.
Up in the sky, Mu Chen was a little dazed as he looked at his bosom. That's because his hand was empty, there wasn't a single figure in it.
But he clearly remembered that the little girl named 'Mandala' was in his bosom …
"She should be hiding."
Mu Chen bitterly smiled. With that girl's terrifying strength, if she really wanted to hide herself, not even the three Emperors would be able to sense her. But now, he had provoked her.
He really didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse.
"Haha, congratulations, Mu Chen. In the past hundred years, you're the first to refine the Daluo Golden Body with a cultivation of First Grade Sovereign." Just when Mu Chen was in a daze, the Sky Vulture Emperor's aged laughter resounded.
"Many thanks to the three Lords."
Mu Chen looked at the three Emperors as he cupped his fists.
"It's all because of your own ability."
The Sleeping Emperor, who had been silent, smiled as he stared at Mu Chen. Suddenly, his brows knitted as a smear of doubt flashed in his eyes. Shortly after, he shook his head, trying to get rid of that misconception.
"The battle of the Greatlaw Goldpond this time will come to an end."
The Sky Vulture Emperor swept his gaze around as his voice turned solemn. "The Hunting War this time is about to arrive. I hope that everyone can temper yourselves."
When the words' Hunting War 'came out, the clamorous atmosphere in this region instantly turned quiet. Vaguely, there seemed to be a chilling murderous aura spreading out.
"Yes!"
The nine Kings acknowledged in a solemn voice.
When the three Emperors saw this, they no longer spoke and waved their sleeves. The golden light on the Goldpond Peak gradually retracted as the current was obstructed. The Goldpond Peak was sealed up once again.
Up in the sky, Mu Chen landed in the direction of the Jiu You Palace as he smiled towards everyone that was overjoyed. Everyone also welcomed him with joy.
"Let's go."
Jiu You smiled towards Mu Chen. He did not have any intention to stay any longer as he turned around and left with everyone.
When they descended from the stone platform, they inevitably collided with the Blood Hawk Hall that was leading the massive party over. The two parties did not have any expression on their faces. The Blood Hawk King and Jiu You exchanged a glance, before brushing past each other. However, the killing intent in that instant made many people feel a chill in their hearts.
The Blood Hawk King and Jiu You brushed past each other, before his footsteps paused beside Mu Chen. His blood-red pupils looked over as a faint voice was transmitted into the latter's ears.
"There are too many geniuses in this world, be careful not to die prematurely …"
Mu Chen narrowed his eyes as a cold smile rose on the corner of his lips.
