Boom!
When the massive Sovereign Celestial Body exploded into sparkles of light, Mu Chen and Liu Yan's bodies trembled, before they staggered and retreated, looking a little pathetic.
Mu Chen forcefully stabilised his body as he slowly wiped the blood off the corner of his lips. His long black hair and deep black pupils had also returned to normal. Clearly, he had exited from the Demon Heart State.
His gaze was calm as he looked at Liu Yan. However, he couldn't help being shocked in his heart. The latter's strength had made him a little startled. Initially, he thought that when he used 200,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid to form the second Solar Energy of the Nine Solar Divine Ability, it would be sufficient to suppress Liu Yan. However, who could have imagined that the latter wasn't someone easy to deal with. He had actually managed to resist the Golden Heavenly Sun Seal that was formed with two Solar Energy.
But while Mu Chen was shocked in his heart, he had no idea about the tumultuous emotions in Liu Yan's heart. His body was constantly trembling as his gaze fluctuated, filled with shock, astonishment and disbelief.
This outcome had clearly exceeded his acceptable range.
In the past, when he fought with others, even if he was facing a Fourth Grade Sovereign, the fight would basically end the moment he brought out the Sky Burning Feather.
Therefore, when the Sky Burning Feather appeared this time, in his view, Mu Chen was already doomed to die.
However, the outcome wasn't as he had expected. Mu Chen, who should have died, had launched a counterattack at the last moment. The terror of that counterattack had even made Liu Yan feel terrified.
In the end, he had to use the power of the Burning Heaven Feather to barely block it. He knew that.
He was clear that if he had held on for a moment longer, the outcome wouldn't have been a lose-lose situation, but one injured and one dead.
"How is that possible?!"
Liu Yan's face was a little pale as he muttered as the corner of his mouth twitched. A brief moment later, he couldn't help looking at Mu Chen with dense killing intent surging in his heart.
Mu Chen's performance.
It made him feel extremely threatened. This youth was younger than him, but the frightening battle prowess he displayed was not much inferior to him.
If he was given another year or two of cultivation time, he would probably far surpass him.
At this moment, he finally understood why the Great Havenlaw Domain would allow a Third Grade Sovereign fellow to participate in the Dragon-Phoenix Haven.
Even if he was a Fourth Grade Supreme-Being.
It was difficult to shake it.
"You still want to kill me?"
The dense killing intent that had suddenly surged out from Liu Yan's eyes was also detected by Mu Chen. Immediately, he smiled faintly and said, "However, do you still have the strength to do so now?"
Although he had also suffered serious injuries, it was clear that Liu Yan had also reached his limit.
Liu Yan's eyes were vicious. He gritted his teeth and his eyes flickered. He couldn't help but slowly clench his fists.
"Bang!"
However, just as Liu Yan's eyes flickered …
Just when he was about to make his move, a huge noise suddenly resounded.
A massive figure descended from the sky and was thrown onto the peak of the White Bones Mountain.
Liu Yan directed his gaze over and abruptly narrowed his eyes. He couldn't help revealing a smear of shock on his face.
That massive figure was a blood-red python. The python was covered in scales and a terrifying ominous aura was being emitted from it, showing how ferocious it was.
But at this moment, the scales on this ferocious creature had shattered and blood flowed out like a stream, dying the peak red. There wasn't any vitality left on this massive body.
Hiss!
When the experts outside the White Bones Mountain saw this scene, they violently inhaled a mouthful of chilled air as their bodies uncontrollably trembled. That's because they recognised that this blood-red python was the Scarlet Blood Divine Python!
There was only a single Scarlet Blood Divine Python here, the one ranked 9th on the Dragon-Phoenix Record, Chi Xue of the Serpent God Palace!
That also meant that … the Scarlet Blood Divine Python that had lost all vitality was Chi Xue!
Chi Xue was dead?!
Not only did this horrifying scene make Liu Yan feel a chill down his spine, even the experts outside the White Bones Mountain felt their scalps going numb. Although Chi Xue was only ranked 9th on the Dragon-Phoenix Record, even Liu Yan would feel fearful of him if they were to fight. Perhaps he might be able to defeat Chi Xue, but it would definitely be extremely difficult for him to kill Chi Xue.
It would be extremely terrifying if an expert with such strength were to launch a counterattack.
Mu Chen was also a little stunned as he looked at the massive corpse of the serpent. But before he could even speak, a petite silhouette had appeared on the corpse of the serpent.
Cai Xiao's snow-white feet gently stepped on the head of the massive serpent, before she elegantly squatted down and gently patted the head of the serpent. Thereafter, a seven-coloured snake flew out from her sleeve and bit onto the head of the serpent. Sizzle!
Sizzle!
The massive serpent's body was swiftly shriveling up at a visible speed. In just ten-odd breaths of time, only a shriveled corpse of the serpent was left, as if it had been dried up by the wind.
Many people were dumbfounded at this scene.
The seven-coloured snake raised its head in satisfaction and flicked its tongue towards Cai Xiao. She smiled with her eyes narrowed as she stretched out her hand and gently stroked its head, before it lazily burrowed back into Cai Xiao's sleeve.
After completing this horrifying action, Cai Xiao stretched her waist. Her slender waist and exquisite curves were extremely alluring. But at this moment, no one dared to glance at her. That's because they could tell that the most terrifying person here was actually this mysterious and beautiful young lady.
"You're done?"
Cai Xiao raised her head as she cast a glance at Mu Chen and Liu Yan, before pursing her lips and smiled at the former. "I originally did not want to kill him, but his mouth is a little dirty, so I made a mistake …"
The corner of Mu Chen's mouth twitched as he dryly laughed. That Chi Xue was truly unlucky. It was fine if he spoke vulgarities normally, but he just had to act recklessly towards this little grandaunt. He was simply courting death.
"You still haven't dealt with him?" Cai Xiao's gaze turned towards Liu Yan. However, it was this casual glance of hers that caused the latter to swiftly retreat.
This caused the latter to retreat hurriedly. His entire body tensed up, and his eyes were filled with caution and vigilance.
"Why don't I do it?" Cai Xiao chuckled.
Rustle!
Just as she finished speaking.
It was so much so that before Mu Chen could reply, Liu Yan's figure had instantly retreated. In the blink of an eye, he was already out of the range of the White Bones Mountain. That decisive stance of his retreat even made Mu Chen stunned as he lightly flung his lips.
This fellow was actually so afraid of death.
Although he wanted to make Liu Yan stay here, it was clearly a little hard for him to do so in his current state. Therefore, he did not obstruct Liu Yan.
Thus, he allowed Liu Yan to retreat far away.
"Mu Chen, just you wait. This matter is not over yet!" Liu Yan roared from afar as he spoke ruthlessly.
Thereafter, he no longer dared to stay any longer.
He swiftly turned into a streak of light and disappeared.
Mu Chen couldn't be bothered with him. He directed his gaze towards the other experts outside the White Bones Mountain. When the latter saw his gaze directed over, they couldn't help retreating with fear filling their eyes.
After personally witnessing the earth-shattering battle between Mu Chen and Liu Yan, no one dared to treat him as an ordinary Third Grade Sovereign.
"Everyone, is there anyone else that wants to snatch this Dragon-Phoenix Pool from us?" Mu Chen swept his gaze around as he spoke in a deep voice.
The experts looked at each other in dismay.
In the end, they could only clench their teeth and retreat. Although Mu Chen and Liu Yan had already experienced a great battle, they were definitely on the verge of death.
But beside him, there was an even more terrifying and mysterious girl. She, who had easily killed a ferocious snake like Chi Xue, was the one that made them feel fear in their hearts.
Therefore, no matter how unwilling they were in their hearts to part with the Dragon-Phoenix Pool, their rationality won over their greed in the end. After all, no matter how miraculous the Dragon-Phoenix Pool was, it wasn't as important as their lives.
When Mu Chen saw those experts retreating, he felt relieved in his heart. Those that could come here weren't ordinary figures. If they were to disregard everything and make a move, it would be a little troublesome for them. Now that they could retreat rationally, it was the best outcome for both parties.
"Open the Dragon-Phoenix Pool." Cai Xiao lightly clapped her hands at the sight of this.
Mu Chen nodded his head as he made a grasping motion with his hand. The Demonic Ape that he had killed earlier shot over and he chopped down with his hand, directly severing the blood of the Demonic Ape. Thereafter, the torrential blood flowed like a stream towards the Dragon-Phoenix Pool.
Gulp.
Crimson blood swiftly spread out in the Dragon-Phoenix Pool. In just a short minute, the blood had covered half of the Dragon-Phoenix Pool and a dense blood stench spread out. Buzz!
Buzz!
Along with the blood filling up the Dragon-Phoenix Pool, the Dragon-Phoenix Pool suddenly trembled and ancient runes started to appear in the white bone pool.
A brilliant draconic roar and phoenix cry resounded from the Dragon-Phoenix Pool, resonating between the heavens and earth.
Gulp!
The blood in the Dragon-Phoenix Pool started to boil as blood bubbles started to appear. Vaguely, there seemed to be dragon and phoenix shadows swimming in the bone pool.
Along with their swimming, the blood, which was initially viscous, swiftly turned clear. Strands of impurities were constantly being evaporated and the stench in the blood had also been completely removed.
In just a brief moment, the Dragon-Phoenix Pool had been cleansed from a blood pool into an immortal pool with surging Immortal Aura. A mysterious energy was quietly being emitted, causing ripples in the surrounding space.
"You can go in and give it a try." Cai Xiao stood beside the Dragon-Phoenix Pool as she smiled towards Mu Chen.
"You're not coming along?"
Mu Chen was stunned. The Dragon-Phoenix Pool had already been formed and as long as he could enter it, he would be able to obtain a great opportunity.
"I only need the True Dragon's Blood Essence, but the True Dragon's Blood Essence here is a little too thin."
Cai Xiao casually said as she waved her hand. "You're a man, don't be so wishy-washy. Hurry up."
"Thanks."
Mu Chen cupped his fists in gratitude and did not speak any further. His figure moved and was prepared to charge into the Dragon-Phoenix Pool.
Boom!
However, in that instant when he made his move, a white bone suddenly exploded on the peak of the White Bone Mountain, causing fragments to shoot out in all directions. Within the fragments, a blurry black figure shuttled through space and charged towards the Dragon-Phoenix Pool before Mu Chen.
Mu Chen's face drastically changed at this moment as killing intent abruptly surged in his eyes.
There was actually someone that wanted to snatch food from his mouth!
