After separating from Huo Mei 'er, Mu Chen had returned to his previous cultivation location. Because of his previous massacre, the amount of Spiritual Fire Pythons in this region had become extremely sparse, so it was perfect for him to seclude himself in.
Bang! Bang!
Mu Chen opened up another cultivation cave in the karst cave and entered it. He sat down with his legs crossed and closed his eyes, gradually entering into a cultivation state.
He did not impatiently refine the Fire Dragon Scorpion's "Spiritual Fire Marrow". Instead, he chose to cultivate quietly in order to adjust his condition.
That's because he could sense the pure Spiritual Energy contained in the Spiritual Fire Marrow. The Spiritual Energy was extremely hot, so refining it wouldn't be an easy task. Therefore, he had to make preparations.
He had to adjust his state to his pinnacle state.
His adjustment lasted for a total of ten days. In those ten days, Mu Chen was like a boulder, allowing time to flow. He wasn't impatient in the slightest as he tightly shut his eyes. His consciousness had sunk into his Sovereign Sea, moving along with the waves of Spiritual Energy.
On the tenth day, Mu Chen slowly opened his tightly shut eyes. At this moment, there seemed to be a layer of profound spiritual light rippling in his eyes. Even his skin was glowing.
It was a sign that the Spiritual Energy in his body had been saturated to the limit.
After ten days of deep cultivation, Mu Chen could sense the saturation feeling coming from his Sovereign Sea. The Spiritual Energy of a Sovereign Realm expert was too vast and only the Sovereign Sea could contain it.
But the Sovereign Sea wasn't endless, it had to expand along with the increase in his strength.
Therefore, if Mu Chen wanted to make another breakthrough …
Then he could only choose to break through to Third Grade Sovereign Realm.
"It's about time."
Mu Chen slowly clenched his fist as he sensed the boundless Spiritual Energy surging within his body like an ocean. He couldn't help feeling comfortable as he exhaled a mouthful of air. The pleasure brought about by the abundance of energy was truly intoxicating.
With a flick of his finger, a scarlet-red ball of light that was ten feet in size appeared in a flash. Crystal clear magma slowly flowed within it.
The extremely pure Spiritual Energy had actually caused the cave to become a little hazy.
After summoning the Spirit Fire Marrow, Mu Chen waved his hand again.
A sparkling and translucent torrent poured out and floated in the air like a small stream. The sound of splashing water spread out.
This stream was naturally formed from over ten thousand drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid.
The spirit energy within the Spirit Fire Marrow was especially domineering.
He needed the gentle and pure Spiritual Energy of the Sovereign Spiritual Liquid to neutralize it. Only by complementing each other could he obtain the perfect effect.
Mu Chen looked at the two expensive treasures before him and couldn't help smacking his lips. Aside from talent, resources were also crucial in the cultivation of Spiritual Energy, such as the Sovereign Spiritual Liquid required for his breakthrough.
It was enough to make some rogue cultivators with no background feel powerless.
It was no wonder that most of those young geniuses had strong backgrounds.
Since they had been cultivating since young, their achievements were naturally something that ordinary people couldn't compare to.
Mu Chen deeply inhaled a mouthful of air as he closed his eyes once again. With a will in his heart, the Spirit Fire Marrow floated above his head and the scarlet magma poured down. Sizzle!
Sizzle!
Boiling magma poured down from the top of Mu Chen's head as sizzling sounds rang out. Mu Chen's face had also started to distort from the searing pain that was coming from his face.
The magma flowed down half of Mu Chen's body, covering him layer by layer. In just a few breaths' time, half of Mu Chen's body was covered in a thick layer of magma.
Whoosh!
At the same time, the Sovereign Spiritual Liquid also poured down, turning into a sparkling liquid that enveloped the other half of Mu Chen's body.
At this moment, Mu Chen quietly sat on the rock. Half of his body was covered in magma, while the other half was covered in sparkling liquid. Both of them were slowly circulating, making it an extremely peculiar scene.
When the surface of Mu Chen's body fell into such a peculiar state, there was a drastic change in his body.
His mind sank into it and his body turned red. The magma-like liquid was seeping in through his pores and was like a tidal wave as it submerged every single corner of Mu Chen's body. Sizzle!
Sizzle!
Wherever the magma-like liquid passed through, his flesh felt like it was about to melt from the heat. An unbearable pain spread out, causing the meridians in Mu Chen's body to twitch.
The overbearing "Spiritual Fire Marrow" of the Yan Long Scorpion was several times stronger than those Spiritual Fire Pythons that had lived for hundreds of years!
But fortunately, Mu Chen was prepared for this. When the overbearing magma-like liquid poured into his body, the gentle and cold Sovereign Spiritual Liquid also swiftly poured over and came in contact with the magma-like liquid. Sizzle!
Sizzle!
Generally speaking, when two completely different Spiritual Energies came in contact, it would definitely be a battle to the death. However, the Sovereign Spiritual Liquid was the most gentle and also the easiest Spiritual Energy to absorb and refine. Therefore, when it came in contact with the magma-like liquid, it had directly integrated into the magma-like liquid, dissipating the violence of the magma-like liquid.
Mu Chen had also grasped onto this opportunity and immediately circulated the Great Pagoda Art. He circulated his Spiritual Energy through his meridians and continuously refined it before pouring it into his Sovereign Sea.
In the Sovereign Sea, the sky looked like it was being torn apart as magma-like waterfalls fell from the sky, rumbling as they poured into the Sovereign Sea. The sea level had also started to rise under the endless pouring of magma-like liquid.
Mu Chen's cultivation had started to go on the right track.
Another month had quietly passed in Mu Chen's cultivation.
On the numerous stone platforms above the Greatlaw Blaze Pond, silhouettes quietly sat as they breathed in the blazing magma-like Spiritual Energy to refine the meridians in their bodies.
Huo Mei 'er stood on one of the stone platforms with Bing Qing and the other three Domain Lords gathered behind her.
"That fellow still hasn't finished his cultivation?" Huo Mei 'er lazily stretched her waist, vividly displaying her wonderful curves.
Her voice was gentle, which made others feel extremely moved.
But aside from Bing Qing's gaze that was fixed on her alluring figure, the other three Domain Lords had their eyes slightly lowered.
The other three Commanders had their eyes lowered, while the warriors of the Great Havenlaw Army had their eyes shut, not daring to take a second look. Clearly, within the Great Havenlaw Army,
This Great Commander possessed a position that made others revere him.
Bing Qing coldly nodded her head. "He should be trying to break through to Third Grade Sovereign, but I don't know if he can succeed."
"He's a little too impatient."
Beside Bing Qing, a Domain Lord shook his head. Mu Chen had only been cultivating for two months, so it wasn't possible for him to make a breakthrough.
"He has obtained the Spiritual Fire Marrow of a Yan Long Scorpion.
If he can really refine and absorb it, it might not be impossible. "
It's not impossible. "Huo Mei 'er said with a charming smile.
Hearing her words, the countenance of Bing Qing and the other three Domain Lords changed a little. They knew how terrifying the Yan Long Scorpion was. Even they couldn't capture it, so how did Mu Chen do it?
"Big Sister said that you obtained the Three-headed Spiritual Fire Python from a bloody battle with a Yan Long Scorpion?" Bing Qing's gaze slightly moved.
She suddenly recalled what Huo Mei 'er had said to her some time ago.
"Yeah, that's right.
The Spiritual Fire Marrow in Mu Chen's hand belongs to that Yan Long Scorpion. "Huo Mei 'er nodded her head.
"Big Sister, helping him doesn't seem to be in line with the rules. The Domain Lord has said that he has to rely on himself to cultivate here." Bing Qing said with her brows slightly knitted.
"I really didn't help him." Huo Mei 'er's rosy lips slightly curled as she continued, "He obtained it himself."
Hearing her words, Bing Qing was stunned. She knew that Huo Mei 'er had no reason to lie to her. But with Mu Chen's strength at Second Grade Sovereign, even if the Yan Long Scorpion was heavily injured, he still wasn't someone that Mu Chen could deal with.
"The Domain Lord has said to let him attempt the 'Nine-Nine Yan Long Array'?" Huo Mei 'er's gaze flickered as she suddenly asked.
Bing Qing nodded her head and asked, "Big Sister, do you think that he has a chance of success?"
"Difficult."
Huo Mei 'er pondered for a brief moment, before shaking her head and faintly said, "The Nine-Nine Yan Long Array is a checkpoint for our Great Havenlaw Army to advance into the Commander Rank. Even if a Fourth Grade Sovereign doesn't know the method, it would be impossible for him to get through it. Even if he can make a breakthrough right now, it will be extremely difficult for him to get through it with his strength at Third Grade Sovereign."
"But …"
As she spoke, Huo Mei 'er suddenly paused for a brief moment. She recalled the decisiveness and ruthlessness of that youth when he dealt with the Yan Long Scorpion and pursed her rosy lips. "We can't underestimate that fellow. So whether he can get through the Nine-Nine Yan Long Array will depend on his ability."
Bing Qing and the rest were a little surprised. Practically none of them were optimistic about Mu Chen, but they never thought that Huo Mei 'er would have a trace of uncertainty.
"Anyways, we just have to watch. There's less than half a month left till the deadline of three months."
Huo Mei 'er smiled as she looked at the scarlet Greatlaw Blaze Pond down below with light flickering in her eyes.
Thus, under the wait of Huo Mei 'er and the rest, another ten days quietly passed.
Right now, there were only five days left till the deadline of three months.
All the warriors of the Great Havenlaw Army opened their eyes. Clearly, they wanted to see the outcome of an outsider breaking through their Nine-Nine Yan Long Array.
However, from the looks of it, could it be that the brat by the name of Mu Chen was planning to use such a method to escape?
Thinking of this, someone couldn't help but chuckle.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, another three days had passed.
Huo Mei 'er sat on a huge rock with her fiery red hair fluttering in the wind. Suddenly, her expression changed as she raised her head. She saw streaks of light flying over and hovering in the sky.
The leader had a petite figure, but there was a terrifying pressure spreading out from her. In the Great Heaven Domain, there was no one else that could possess such a pressure, aside from Mandala.
Not only did Jiu You follow behind Mandala, but even the three Emperors and various Kings had also appeared. Such a formation had caused many warriors of the Great Havenlaw Army to be startled.
"What a huge formation that brat has brought."
Huo Mei 'er looked at the formation as she charmingly smiled. Shortly after, she lowered her head and saw a huge vortex forming on the magma ocean.
Boom!
A stream of magma soared into the sky as the magma rose higher and higher. A silhouette stepped on the magma as he slowly appeared under the countless gazes.
The youth had a slender figure with a handsome face and calm black pupils. Evidently, Mu Chen had also completed his cultivation at this moment.
