A dazzling golden light exploded in the sky as a golden figure broke through the scarlet heatwave. It was like a golden buddha that had been forged. That ferocious stance caused many experts in this region to have a slight change in their expressions as their gazes turned grave.
ybdu!
That's because the five Sky-Burning Talismans did not cause any harm to Mu Chen!
An attack of that level was something that even a Fourth Grade Supreme Martial Artist would have to avoid!
"How is this possible?"
Bing Qing and the other commanders couldn't help exclaiming. This outcome was clearly not in line with their expectations. How could a mere Third Grade Sovereign block five Sky-Burning Talismans?
"Hehe, I've said it before, this brat isn't that simple."
Huo Mei 'er laughed as shock flashed in her eyes. That's because she could sense that the Sovereign Celestial Body that Mu Chen had cultivated was a little too powerful.
Under the startled gazes, Mu Chen's figure appeared on the head of the Great Solar Undying Body once again. Shortly after, he stomped his feet and the blazing golden sun on the centre of the Great Solar Undying Body grew even more dazzling. The golden light seemed to be flowing on the colossal body of the Great Solar Undying Body.
Boom!
The Great Solar Undying Body shot forth with an extremely swift speed. In the blink of an eye, it had already appeared above a magma dragon. Shortly after, its golden palm landed on the head of the magma dragon with a terrifying golden lustre gushing out.
Boom!
As the golden light gushed out, the magma dragon instantly unleashed a painful roar as golden cracks spread out on its head, before it exploded with a bang.
Magma splattered in every direction.
Mu Chen had used the Sovereign Ability of the Great Solar Undying Body, the One Yang Energy, to swiftly make his move.
In an instant, he had killed a magma dragon.
Such a change had caused many experts to squint their eyes as they exclaimed in admiration at Mu Chen's decisiveness and ruthlessness. It looked like he understood that he couldn't allow the nine magma dragons to continuously launch attacks. Otherwise, even with his powerful Sovereign Celestial Body, it would be hard for him to last till the end.
Rustle!
Mu Chen killed a Magma Dragon with lightning speed.
Without the slightest hesitation, he turned around and charged towards the other Magma Dragon.
Roar!
However, at that moment, the other Magma Dragons also came back to their senses.
Immediately, furious roars rang out as the scarlet red dragon claw with magma flowing over it pierced through space and ruthlessly slammed towards the huge golden body.
Eight gigantic dragon claws tore through the air, emitting terrifying energy fluctuations.
It directly locked the space around Mu Chen.
It made it impossible for him to dodge. However, his expression remained calm and his seals changed. The golden sun on the Great Solar Undying Body's brows grew even more dazzling.
Evidently, he had pushed the power of the One Yang brought by the Sovereign Ability to its limits.
The Great Solar Undying Body stood proudly in the air and clenched its hand.
The Great Meru Demonic Pillar appeared in a flash. Baleful energy and golden light surged at the same time.
Then, he waved his hand, sending out beams of light that charged out and clashed head-on with the eight dragon claws.
Boom!
Boom!
Terrifying energy fluctuations wreaked havoc like a storm, causing everyone to widen their mouths as they looked at the sky. As the golden light surged, Mu Chen controlled the Great Solar Undying Body and clashed with the eight Magma Dragons. Furthermore, his attacks were extremely sharp, he had given up on defending every single time he attacked.
The price of doing so was that dragon claw marks were left on the Great Solar Undying Body in just ten-odd exchanges. However, those marks would dissipate whenever the golden light flashed. The defence of the Great Solar Undying Body was unimaginable. In addition to the support of the Daluo Golden Body, Mu Chen wasn't afraid of this Sovereign Celestial Body.
Up in the sky, the massive Sovereign Celestial Body clashed with the eight Magma Dragons. The close combat made the eyelids of many experts twitch, especially Mu Chen's ferocious fighting style, which made them uncontrollably flick their lips. This brat might be young, but he was more ferocious than anyone else.
The rumbling and violent battle continued in the sky. In less than ten minutes, there were already four magma dragons that were destroyed by the Great Meru Demonic Pillar. Naturally, Mu Chen had also paid a price for it. There was a deep claw mark left on the chest of the Sovereign Celestial Body. There were still residual magma energy on the claw mark. Even if the Great Solar Undying Body possessed a pretty good regenerative ability, it was hard for it to recover in a short period of time.
At this moment, there were only three Magma Dragons left in the sky.
"Amazing." Many experts exclaimed in admiration.
Huo Mei 'er, Bing Qing and the rest gently shook their heads.
"If this goes on, he won't have the chance to get out of the array." Mandala's golden pupils calmly looked at this scene as she faintly said.
Hearing her words, Jiu You's face slightly changed. She wasn't familiar with the Nine-Nine Yan Long Array, so she didn't know why Mandala would say such words.
Mandala did not explain much, because at this moment, there was another change in the Magma Array. Magma surged as huge pillars of magma soared into the sky. Thereafter, dragon roars resounded from the magma as sharp dragon claws stretched out from the magma. Sinister dragon figures appeared once again, and it was another six Magma Dragons that soared into the sky!
As such, when the nine dragons appeared once more, Mu Chen's bitter battle from before seemed to not have the slightest effect!
Seeing this scene, not only did Mu Chen's face change, but even those who didn't understand the Nine-Nine Yan Long Array narrowed their eyes.
Many experts were puzzled, but they had also experienced how terrifying the Nine-Nine Yan Long Array was. It was no wonder why it could become the checkpoint of the Great Havenlaw Army.
"It's impossible to break the array with brute force alone." Huo Mei 'er softly muttered to herself.
In the magma, Mu Chen's brows were tightly knitted as he watched this scene. Shortly after, his gaze swiftly flickered. It looked like the Nine-Nine Yan Long Array wasn't as simple as he had imagined. Although the nine Magma Dragons were terrifying, destroying them wasn't enough to break the array. From the looks of it, no matter how many times he destroyed them, they would be able to regenerate.
Doing so would only exhaust his energy for no reason.
"How can this be?"
Mu Chen looked at the scarlet magma below and narrowed his eyes. A brief moment later, his heart jolted as he recalled something that Mandala had casually said.
"As long as there's magma here, the Magma Dragons will be indestructible."
Initially, Mu Chen still had some doubts about it. But after this test, Mandala's words were indeed true. But did he really have to destroy all the magma here?
That wasn't something that was possible. After all, this place was connected to the underground fire vein.
Staring at the scarlet magma ocean, Mu Chen's eyes suddenly flickered with a golden light. In that instant, he could clearly sense a peculiar fluctuation coming from the depths of the array.
Rustle!
Mu Chen's gaze swiftly flickered. In the next instant, he suddenly tapped the ground with the tip of his foot and his figure shot down, charging towards the array.
Roar!
When the nine magma dragons saw this, they instantly roared out in an attempt to obstruct him. However, the Great Solar Undying Body also surged with golden light and the Great Meru Demonic Pillar swept out, obstructing all of them.
Plop!
Mu Chen's figure charged into the magma, attracting many astonished gazes. However, the eyes of Mandala, Huo Mei 'er and the rest flickered.
Rushing into the magma, Mu Chen rapidly shot towards the depths. Purple flames formed a barrier on the surface of his body, blocking the terrifyingly high temperature, while his perception rapidly spread out. After a dozen breaths, his body abruptly stiffened as he swept his gaze downwards.
In the depths of the magma, there were nine scarlet red light clumps floating. Within each of the light clumps was a drop of magma-like blood. Within the blood, there seemed to be a flame dragon entrenched within it, while a frightening fluctuation that could incinerate the world was being emitted.
Furthermore, there seemed to be a flaming scale within the Yan Long. From that scale, Mu Chen could feel a heart-palpitating aura.
"Ancient Yan Long's Essence Blood!"
Mu Chen stared at the nine drops of blood and finally understood what was going on. So it turned out that they were continuously creating magma dragons. If he didn't destroy them, it would be impossible for him to break out of the array.
But even if he found the source, it wasn't an easy task to break it. Although it was only a drop of essence blood, he could vaguely sense how terrifying the owner of the Essence Blood was back then. An existence of that level was probably famous in this world.
But no matter how difficult it was, he could only take action.
Mu Chen deeply inhaled a mouthful of air as he slowly closed his eyes.
Outside the magma, Mandala waved her hand and light circulated before her, revealing the situation in the depths of the magma. Mu Chen and the nine drops of Ancient Yan Long's Essence Blood were all within.
"You've finally found it."
A faint smile appeared on Mandala's face. Shortly after, she said, "But the Essence Blood is protected by the Ancient Yan Long's dragon scales. It won't be easy to pierce through those dragon scales."
Jiu You also revealed a worried expression. The Ancient Yan Long was ranked amongst the top of the Divine Beast Ranking. Furthermore, the Ancient Yan Long must have reached a terrifying level when it was alive. Otherwise, it wouldn't be possible for the nine drops of essence blood and the dragon scales to possess such power.
"Don't worry. As long as he can obtain a drop of Ancient Yan Long's Essence Blood, he will pass. Furthermore, the Ancient Yan Long's Essence Blood will also be his reward."
Mandala smiled. "It won't be easy for you to break through the nine Ancient Yan Long's dragon scales. Back then, when Huo Mei 'er became the Great Commander, she only managed to obtain four drops of Ancient Yan Long's Essence Blood."
"Mhm?"
Just when Mandala finished her words, she suddenly exclaimed as her golden pupils looked at the Spiritual Energy light screen before her in astonishment. Within the light screen, Mu Chen, who had his eyes tightly shut, suddenly opened them. Furthermore, his eyes had turned pitch-black without a single trace of white. They looked like deep black holes, which was extremely bizarre.
Furthermore, when Mu Chen's eyes turned pitch-black, the Spiritual Energy ripples that emanated from his body had also become extremely bizarre.
When Jiu You saw this scene, her eyes abruptly narrowed as she couldn't help muttering to herself.
"This is … the Supreme Demon Heart Scripture's Demon Heart State?"
