"That's …"
On the stone stage, many warriors of the Great Havenlaw Army were startled as they looked at the Spiritual Energy light screen before them. In the light screen, the Sovereign Celestial Body, which had dimmed due to the exhaustion of Spiritual Energy, burst forth with dazzling golden light once again.
Furthermore, everyone could sense that the Spiritual Energy fluctuations emanating from the Sovereign Celestial Body were even more robust than before.
"His Spiritual Energy is actually recovering?" The shock lasted for a brief moment, before someone exclaimed out in shock.
"He's refining the Spiritual Fire Marrow in battle." A smear of shock flashed across Tie Shan's face as he solemnly said.
"What?"
Hearing those words, even Commander Bing Qing was startled. The surrounding warriors of the Great Havenlaw Army couldn't help widening their mouths. They were extremely familiar with the Spiritual Fire Marrow, so naturally, they knew how much pain they had to endure when absorbing and refining it. So, normally, they would find a quiet and safe place to refine it with all their might. As for refining it in battle, they didn't even dare to think of such a daring thing.
After all, no one was confident that they could maintain their fighting spirit while enduring the intense pain.
"Isn't he a little too daring?"
Some people couldn't help muttering to themselves as they looked at the dazzling golden figure on the Spiritual Energy light screen with a smear of admiration in their eyes. No matter what, the latter's courage was worthy of admiration. Most importantly, he had succeeded...
Bing Qing's tensed face had also slowly loosened up at this moment.
Since this youth named Mu Chen could be so highly regarded by the Domain Ruler, it looked like there was indeed something extraordinary about him.
Initially, she was extremely doubtful about whether Mu Chen could pass the Nine-Nine Yan Long Array in three months.
But from the way that fellow was cultivating without any regard for his life, it was hard to say what the outcome would be …
…
While everyone on the stone stage was startled by the sudden recovery of Mu Chen's Spiritual Energy, his heart was also filled with joy. That's because he could sense the boundless Spiritual Energy in his body.
The density of the spiritual power was even stronger than before. Obviously.
After experiencing the previous battle where his Spiritual Power was almost exhausted, the Spiritual Power in his body had once again improved.
Even though he was still quite a distance away from breaking through to Third Grade Utmost Exalted.
Normally, this kind of progress would only appear after a long period of cultivation. But now …
However, it had only been a few hours.
The more dangerous the situation.
Only then could one's potential be stimulated. This sentence was not false at all.
Although the Greatlaw Blaze Pond was filled with danger, it was extremely beneficial to one's cultivation.
A sharpness gathered in Mu Chen's black pupils as a heroic spirit surged in his heart. Along the way, he had experienced countless battles of life and death, just this small Greatlaw Blaze Pond.
But he didn't have the qualifications to stop him.
Mu Chen laughed heartily as his mind moved.
Golden light swept out from the Great Solar Undying Body as a golden palm swept out, causing the two Spiritual Fire Pythons, which possessed a terrifying strength that could shatter mountains, to be blown away as a mournful roar resounded.
Boom!
The Great Solar Undying Body had directly stepped into the scarlet magma at this moment. Thereafter, a golden light swept out and swept towards those Spiritual Fire Pythons like a berserk devil. At this moment, his attacks were even more ferocious than before. Instantly, magma waves splashed out and the group of Spiritual Fire Pythons that had surrounded him was instantly thrown into chaos. Every single golden fist would shatter a Spiritual Fire Python.
However, those Spiritual Fire Pythons did not have any intellect, so they did not have any fear. On the contrary, Mu Chen's slaughter had triggered their attacks. Immediately, hissing noises rang out as the Spiritual Fire Pythons endlessly charged out without any fear of death.
In the scarlet magma, the golden figure brandished its huge fists as golden light swept out along with violent Spiritual Energy. In the magma, there was an endless stream of Spiritual Fire Pythons that endlessly charged out.
Because of the slaughter here, the magma began to tremble uncontrollably.
The violent battle made even the warriors of the Great Havenlaw Army, who had experienced many battles, dumbfounded.
Although Mu Chen's Spiritual Energy had recovered by refining the Spiritual Fire Marrow, it was impossible for him to continue this battle endlessly. That's because Spiritual Energy could be recovered, but a person's mental energy couldn't be recovered by external sources.
Therefore, after this crazy battle lasted for an entire day, the Great Solar Undying Body that was endlessly surrounded by the Spiritual Fire Pythons suddenly burst out. In a few flickers, it had charged out of the magma range. Thereafter, a golden light flickered as a silhouette mysteriously hid in a karst cave.
When Mu Chen hid in the karst cave, he immediately sat down. His face was pale and dense exhaustion could be seen between his brows. This high-intensity battle had practically exhausted his mental energy. If it wasn't for his willpower that had bitterly persisted, he would have probably fainted by now.
But even if he had broken free from the battle, he couldn't rest right now. This was the best time to cultivate.
Mu Chen raised his hand and a scarlet Spiritual Fire Marrow hovered before him. Shortly after, he gently clenched his hand and a sparkling and translucent jade bottle appeared in his hand. Instantly, a small sparkling stream flew out and coiled around Mu Chen. The stream was filled with extremely pure Spiritual Energy.
The Spiritual Fire Marrow and Sovereign Spiritual Liquid were all prepared.
Mu Chen sat down and swiftly formed seals with both of his hands. He slowly closed his exhausted eyes and gradually entered into a cultivation state. His mouth was slightly opening and closing as he sucked a Spiritual Fire Marrow and a drop of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid into his mouth.
The Spiritual Energy fluctuation that was initially exhausted slowly awakened in Mu Chen's body. Furthermore, it had become even more robust and refined …
…
For the next month, Mu Chen's cultivation was constantly repeating.
Torrential waves would rise in the scarlet magma every single day.
As the golden light spread out, the massive golden figure was like a battle machine that didn't know exhaustion.
It fought with the endless Spiritual Fire Pythons.
In every single battle, he would persist until his mental and physical strength had reached the limits, before he would drag his exhausted body out of the magma and return to the karst cave to cultivate.
Mu Chen's cultivation could be considered as insane. Even the warriors of the Great Havenlaw Army, who treated cultivation like cooking, inwardly smacked their lips at Mu Chen's desperate cultivation.
On the surface, this youth might seem gentle and amicable.
But they never expected that the stubbornness and stubbornness in his bones would be so touching.
If they were in Mu Chen's shoes, they would definitely not be able to achieve such a degree of craziness.
It was so much so that even Tie Shan, Bing Qing and the other Commanders of the Great Havenlaw Army were inwardly shocked by Mu Chen's performance over the past month.
At the same time, they sighed in their hearts.
There was indeed a reason why this youth could be valued by the Domain Ruler.
Although he had paid a great price, Mu Chen's harvest from his month of bitter cultivation was also not small. The Spiritual Energy in his body had grown more and more powerful in just a short month. Although he still couldn't make a breakthrough, compared to a month ago, it was at least twice as powerful.
Without a doubt, it was twice as vigorous. Moreover …
Furthermore, Mu Chen's endurance had also improved after reaching his limits time and time again.
In the beginning, he could only last half a day with his full strength. But after a month, he could already last for nearly two days!
Furthermore, along with the daily battles, his body had also gradually adapted to the high temperature of the Greatlaw Blaze Pond. The blazing air that was initially like blazing flames had instead brought him a comfortable feeling.
In this month, no one knew how many Spiritual Fire Pythons that were less than a hundred years old were hunted by Mu Chen. It was so much so that even those that had exceeded a hundred years old were killed by Mu Chen. The number of Spiritual Fire Pythons that had died in Mu Chen's hands had also reached a shocking number of three digits.
In the end, the region that was originally filled with Spiritual Fire Pythons had practically been cleanly slaughtered by Mu Chen. The sparse and shabby appearance was no longer as majestic as it was a month ago.
Although those Spiritual Fire Pythons did not possess any intellect, they could sense that there were too many of their own blood flowing in this region. Although the blood was mixed with the magma, it was sufficient for them to understand that this wasn't a friendly place.
Thus, the amount of Spiritual Fire Pythons that appeared in this region swiftly decreased. After a month, Mu Chen realised that there wasn't a single Spiritual Fire Python for him to hunt in this hellish region.
On a rock that protruded out from the magma, Mu Chen quietly stood as he swept his gaze around. However, he couldn't find any prey, which made him helplessly flick his lips.
"The Spiritual Energy in my Sovereign Sea seems to be reaching its saturation …"
Mu Chen lowered his head and looked at his palms as he slowly clenched his fists. Sensing the surging Spiritual Energy ripples in his body, he couldn't help grinning. Shortly after, he knitted his brows. He could sense that the growth of the Spiritual Energy in his body had started to stagnate. No matter how much he refined the Spiritual Fire Marrows and Sovereign Spiritual Liquids for the past few days, it was hard for his Spiritual Energy to grow like before.
There was only one reason for this, he had started to touch the bottleneck of his Spiritual Energy. The same method could no longer allow him to obtain the same effect as before.
Mu Chen's sharp gaze flickered as he stared at the scarlet magma ocean and licked his lips. Right now, those Spiritual Fire Marrows that had a lifespan of a hundred years could no longer satisfy his cultivation.
If he wanted to break through this bottleneck, he would require even more powerful Spiritual Fire Marrows.
For example, the Spiritual Fire Marrows that had a lifespan of three hundred years or even five hundred years … such Spiritual Fire Marrows could only be found in the depths of the Greatlaw Blaze Pond.
However, the temperature of the magma in the depths of the Greatlaw Blaze Pond was extremely terrifying. Even someone as powerful as Tie Shan, Bing Qing and the other commanders of the Great Havenlaw Army did not dare to casually enter.
But it was a pity that they couldn't stop Mu Chen.
He raised his head and smiled towards the sky. He could sense the Spiritual Energy ripples in that direction. Bing Qing and the rest must be paying attention to this place. Shortly after, he deeply inhaled a mouthful of air and no longer hesitated. His silhouette moved, turning into a streak of light as he charged into the magma ocean.
Plop!
As the magma splashed, Bing Qing and the rest looked at Mu Chen leaping into the Greatlaw Blaze Pond and exchanged looks.
