Above the White Bones Mountain, Liu Yan stood with his hands behind his back as his gaze flickered with a cold light as he stared at the figure before him. A brief moment later, he gently inhaled a mouthful of air as his gaze gradually turned indifferent.
ybdu,
"What a foolish fellow …"
He muttered to himself as an eerie arc rose from the corner of his lips. He stared at Mu Chen and softly said, "But I will not give you the chance to regret."
"So, I will let you go to hell with your regrets."
Liu Yan eerily smiled as he took a step forth. In that instant when his foot landed, a boundless ocean of Spiritual Energy instantly burst out in every direction. The scarlet Spiritual Energy had practically covered the horizon. Looking from afar, it looked as if the sky was burning.
Liu Yan's strength had already exceeded ordinary Fourth Grade Sovereigns. He could be considered to have stepped into the pinnacle of Fourth Grade Sovereign Realm. Compared to him, Qin Bei of the Great Compassion Sky was undoubtedly too inferior.
Under such overwhelming strength, ordinary Third Grade Sovereigns would probably be like ants without any ability to fight back. This was the confidence that Liu Yan had.
Mu Chen looked at the boundless Spiritual Energy that looked like flames and narrowed his eyes, vaguely turning a little grave. He had never underestimated an opponent like Liu Yan.
A few months ago, Mu Chen knew that if he fought with Liu Yan at that time, the chances of him winning would be extremely low. Therefore, when facing Liu Yan's provocation, he had endured it.
But right now, there was no longer a need for him to endure.
Three months had allowed Mu Chen to make a breakthrough. Although there was still a gap between him and Liu Yan at Third Grade Sovereign Realm.
But in Mu Chen's hands, that distance was no longer so difficult to cross.
The Great Meru Demonic Pillar floated to the right of Mu Chen as a baleful aura swept out. Mu Chen stared at Liu Yan, whose Spiritual Energy was torrential, and hugged the air. The Great Meru Demonic Pillar turned into a shadow.
It mercilessly crushed down on Liu Yan.
Liu Yan coldly looked at the incoming Great Meru Demonic Pillar. With a clench of his hand, a scarlet-red spear appeared in his hand.
There seemed to be flames flowing on the spear.
Dang!
The scarlet-red spear thrust out in a perfectly straight line. The seemingly thin spear tip had completely stopped the Great Meru Demonic Pillar's descent.
And that long spear.
Only the body of the spear was slightly bent.
The moment Liu Yan made his move, he had displayed his shocking strength that was ranked 4th on the Dragon-Phoenix Record.
Buzz!
The scarlet-red spear violently trembled as a terrifying force burst out, pushing the Great Meru Demonic Pillar back. Shortly after, Liu Yan thrust his spear forth without any expression on his face.
Boom!
Along with Liu Yan thrusting his spear forth, a scarlet-red stream of magma burst out. The violent and blazing Spiritual Energy caused the temperature in this region to abruptly rise.
The stream of magma streaked across the horizon, as if it was Yan Long.
It flew towards Mu Chen.
Torrential heatwaves swept out as the powerful Spiritual Energy ripples looked as if they wanted to tear the horizon apart.
Mu Chen's expression turned grave as the space behind him distorted. His Sovereign Sea was also faintly discernible as he poured his Spiritual Energy into the demonic pillar and abruptly swung it down.
The demonic pillar and the current of magma clashed in the sky, causing magma to burst out in every direction. It was like a rain of fire, causing even space to distort from the point of collision.
As the magma burst out, Mu Chen's figure, which was dragging the Great Meru Demonic Pillar, was forced back. Right now, the Great Meru Demonic Pillar was covered in scarlet as the terrifyingly high temperature attempted to melt it. But in the end, it was dissolved by the ominous aura of the Great Meru Demonic Pillar.
A numbing sensation came from Mu Chen's palm as he slightly knitted his brows. Liu Yan was truly worthy of being ranked 4th on the Dragon-Phoenix Record. Only after a true confrontation, could Mu Chen know how powerful he was. In this head-on confrontation, the latter clearly had the upper hand.
"If this is all you've got, then you've truly disappointed me."
Liu Yan sneered as he stood in the sky and abruptly formed seals with both of his hands. In an instant, the scarlet Spiritual Energy behind him swept out like a sea of flames, forming into a huge flaming palm that pressed towards Mu Chen.
"Flaming Demonic Palm!"
As the flaming palm descended from the sky, the palm was filled with black light runes, vaguely emitting an extremely overbearing destructive power.
Although Liu Yan was ridiculing, his attacks were extremely ruthless, not giving Mu Chen any chance to catch his breath. Clearly, he was intending to kill Mu Chen at the fastest speed possible.
Mu Chen looked at Liu Yan, whose attacks were getting sharper, and deeply inhaled a mouthful of air. His eyes swiftly turned pitch-black and his black hair swiftly grew. In just a few breaths' time, his long hair was already disheveled. In this state, Mu Chen seemed to have become mature and unrestrained. His calm gaze made others not dare to belittle him.
Clearly, he had entered the Demon Heart State.
Under this state, Mu Chen was able to utilize his Spiritual Energy to the most perfect degree. This degree was something that he was temporarily unable to achieve under his normal state.
Mu Chen tapped his feet and appeared on the Great Meru Demonic Pillar. Two completely different Spiritual Energies surged between his palms as he formed seals with his hands at lightning speed.
Roar!
A dragon roar and elephant trumpet instantly resounded as two pillars of light shot out from the Sovereign Sea behind him. They intertwined, forming into a dragon-elephant light wheel that clashed with the Flaming Demonic Palm that was pressing down.
Boom!
Flames exploded in the sky like grand fireworks, dazzling and dangerous.
As the fireworks soared, a figure suddenly flew out and appeared before Liu Yan in a flash. His black hair fluttered as Mu Chen's right palm, which was flickering with invisible lightning, was aimed at the latter.
Boom!
As the lightning flashed, Liu Yan's body violently jolted. The sharp roar of thunder rang out in the depths of his heart as the rumbling thunder caused the Spiritual Energy in his body to fluctuate.
"That's … the Nether Demon Heart Lightning?!"
Liu Yan's gaze changed. He was indeed worthy of being the Young Palace Master of the Sky Profound Palace, with vast experience. He had actually recognised Mu Chen's means in an instant.
Boom!
There weren't any ripples on Mu Chen's face. In that instant when his right palm was aimed at Liu Yan to activate the Nether Demon Heart Lightning, the Spiritual Energy in his left palm that was blazing with purple flames had already turned into a bolt of lightning as it shot towards Liu Yan's chest.
This practically perfect attack had directly forced Liu Yan to retreat in a miserable manner. The Spiritual Energy in his body had fluctuated due to the Nether Demon Heart Lightning, and Mu Chen had also grasped this short opportunity to launch an all-out attack.
Liu Yan crossed his arms before him as he used his Spiritual Energy to protect his body, blocking the Spiritual Energy that was blazing with purple flames. However, the price he had to pay was his sleeves being reduced to ashes. It was so much so that even his arms were charred black. Although his injuries weren't heavy, he looked extremely miserable.
Liu Yan's figure retreated a few hundred feet as the roar of thunder in his body was suppressed by him. But when he looked at his charred arms, his face couldn't help turning ashen.
When Mu Chen and Liu Yan fought, there were streaks of light flying over from the peak of the White Bones Mountain. They were the other experts that had broken through the white ape's defence.
When they arrived, they saw the fight between Mu Chen and Liu Yan. Instantly, their faces couldn't help changing with fear in their eyes and they didn't dare to recklessly approach.
After all, Liu Yan was ranked 4th on the Dragon-Phoenix Record, which brought quite a bit of pressure to them.
Furthermore, they were smart. Clearly, they intended to watch from the sidelines. But in the beginning, they thought that this battle wouldn't last too long. After all, Mu Chen and Liu Yan weren't on the same level.
But their thoughts only lasted for a brief moment, when they saw Liu Yan suddenly in a miserable state. In an instant, those experts couldn't help narrowing their eyes as they felt a little shocked in their hearts. They no longer dared to underestimate Mu Chen.
Liu Yan's face was ashen as he looked at Mu Chen. However, the latter, who had entered the Demon Heart State, paid no attention to his eerie gaze. His figure moved as he charged out once again. His right palm, which was flickering with incorporeal lightning, was raised once again.
At the sight of this, Liu Yan was startled in his heart. He immediately focused and prepared to suppress the abnormal Nether Demon Heart Lightning.
Roar!
But just when he was prepared to deal with the thunderous roar in his body, Mu Chen swiftly formed seals with his palm. Four streaks of light shot out from the Sovereign Sea behind him and formed into two dragons and two elephants.
"Nine Dragons and Elephants Art!"
An indifferent voice gently resounded from Mu Chen's mouth. Shortly after, his seals changed and the two dragons and two elephants formed into a massive dragon-elephant light wheel.
Rustle!
The dragon-elephant light wheel appeared above Liu Yan in a flash, before heavily slashing down.
The veins on Liu Yan's forehead twitched. He clearly did not expect Mu Chen to use such a move. Immediately, his figure moved, intending to burst in retreat.
But just when he burst in retreat, Mu Chen raised his palm once again.
Boom!
This time, the thunderous roar rang out in Liu Yan's heart as expected. The piercing thunderous roar instantly caused his body to freeze for a brief moment. Although the pause was extremely short, it was fatal in this confrontation.
Under the shocked gazes from the surroundings of the White Bones Mountain, the dragon-elephant light wheel swept down with incomparably sharp fluctuations. If he was struck by such an attack, even someone as powerful as Liu Yan would definitely be injured.
Boom!
A violent Spiritual Energy fluctuation exploded in the sky as the scarlet-red Spiritual Energy rippled like flames, causing everyone's gazes to be fixed in that direction.
Mu Chen's deep and serene gaze was also looking at the location where the scarlet-red Spiritual Energy exploded. A brief moment later, his brows gently twitched.
The boundless scarlet-red Spiritual Energy gradually dissipated as the surrounding experts abruptly narrowed their eyes.
At the location where the scarlet-red Spiritual Energy dissipated, an incomparably huge figure had already appeared in the sky. That figure was entirely scarlet-red, with different coloured flames blazing on its body. Looking from afar, it looked like a fire god that had descended to the world.
At this moment, the temperature between the heavens and earth became extremely hot, as if even the air was about to be incinerated.
Mu Chen's deep and serene gaze stared at the figure that was blazing with different coloured flames as he muttered, "Wanyan Dharmakaya …"
