The golden pillar of flames was like a huge dragon baring its fangs and brandishing its claws as it streaked across the horizon, bringing along a terrifying momentum that seemed to be able to destroy everything as it descended.
One could see a slender figure quietly standing within the area enveloped by the golden flame pillar. He seemed to have lifted his head at this moment. The golden flame was rapidly magnified in his pitch-black pupils. However, he did not move at all. From the looks of it, he was so intimidated by this frightening attack that he was unable to move.
"What a pity …"
Countless experts in this region sighed in pity. Mu Chen's talent was shocking. If he was given a few more years to cultivate, he would definitely be the most outstanding amongst the younger generations of the Northern Region. But it was a pity that the easiest to die in this world were these outstanding geniuses.
Boom!
Under the solemn gazes of countless experts, as well as Su Biyue, Hong Yu and the rest in the sky, the golden flame-like pillar of light had finally descended. In that instant, even the heavens and earth had started to tremble from the trembling.
On the Dragon-Phoenix Stage, the golden dragon scales on the ground seemed to have been melted by the golden flames, turning into a golden liquid that flowed out. The entire Dragon-Phoenix Stage was melting at a shocking speed.
The destructive power caused the eyelids of countless experts to uncontrollably twitch. A full-powered attack from Liu Yan was actually so terrifying … His reputation of being ranked 4th on the Dragon-Phoenix Record was truly well-deserved.
Su Biyue, Hong Yu, Ding Xuan and the other experts that were ranked at the top of the Dragon-Phoenix Record had grave expressions on their faces as they questioned themselves.
If they were the ones blocking Liu Yan's attack, even if they could survive, they would definitely be gravely injured.
But right now …
Mu Chen probably wouldn't even be reduced to ashes …
Fang Yi, the Netherworld Prince and Cai Xiao's auras were still restricting each other as they looked at the melting Dragon-Phoenix Stage and gently narrowed their eyes. However, Fang Yi and the Netherworld Prince had indifferent expressions on their faces.
Cai Xiao's brows were slightly knitted as she was clearly a little worried.
How astute were Fang Yi and the Netherworld Prince? They instantly saw through Cai Xiao's worries.
Immediately, the former lightly smiled but did not speak. In his heart, he did not place Mu Chen in too high a regard.
Therefore, it did not matter whether he was dead or alive.
However, with Mu Chen's death, Cai Xiao's mind would inevitably be shaken, and the slightest flaw would be sufficient to cause her to fall into a disadvantageous position.
Therefore, although Fang Yi's body was still relaxed, boundless Spiritual Energy quietly circulated within his body.
It was like a ferocious beast in hiding, about to erupt with destructive power.
Above the Dragon-Phoenix Arena.
Standing on the head of the Heavenly Flames Celestial Body, Liu Yan's face was slightly pale. Clearly, the previous attack had greatly exhausted him. However, his gaze was as vicious as a wolf as he coldly stared at the slowly melting Dragon-Phoenix Stage.
This move of his was his strongest trump card. Within the Fourth Grade Sovereign Realm, no one could block it, not to mention that Mu Chen was only a mere Third Grade Sovereign. Even if he had many cards up his sleeves, it was impossible for him to escape with his life.
"Reckless fool, you deserve to be buried here."
Liu Yan eerily laughed. But when he finished laughing, his pupils abruptly narrowed as he abruptly raised his head, looking at the gradually melting Dragon-Phoenix Stage with disbelief in his eyes.
Up in the sky, Su Biyue, Hong Yu and the other experts had also sensed it. Their shocked gazes were directed at the gradually melting Dragon-Phoenix Stage.
In that direction, the golden sea of flames was surging, emitting a terrifyingly high temperature. But in the depths of the sea of flames, heavy footsteps suddenly resounded. The footsteps were like mountains, causing the Dragon-Phoenix Stage to tremble with every step.
The other experts in this region had also sensed that something was amiss. Immediately, the commotion in this region came to an abrupt stop as they looked at the golden sea of flames with shock on their faces.
Suddenly, a gale swept past and the golden sea of flames was swept away. As the sea of flames dissipated, a majestic figure could be seen quietly standing there.
That figure was donned in dark-golden armour. The armour looked like it was made of dragon scales, looking extremely ferocious and ferocious. Vaguely, the image of a dragon could be seen on the armour, emanating a dreadful pressure.
Furthermore, there was a pair of huge phoenix wings on the back of that golden-armoured figure that slowly unfolded. As they flapped, it was like a gale that wreaked havoc in this region.
The golden-armoured silhouette stood on the Dragon-Phoenix Stage that had been melted to the point that it was riddled with holes. Although his body had turned a little red due to the golden flames and was constantly emitting white smoke, anyone could see a pair of chilling sharp eyes beneath the golden armor.
That was Mu Chen!
He had actually managed to withstand Liu Yan's all-out attack!
Countless people abruptly widened their eyes as disbelief filled their eyes.
"How is this possible?!"
Liu Yan's face was filled with shock as he couldn't help letting out a low roar. His heart must have been extremely shaken. No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't understand how Mu Chen could still stand after receiving such a terrifying attack from him.
Up in the sky, Su Biyue, Hong Yu and the rest sucked in a cold breath as they looked at Mu Chen's silhouette. There wasn't any trace of contempt in their eyes anymore. The strength that Mu Chen had displayed made even them feel extreme danger. This was someone that could make them feel a fatal threat.
On the other side of the sky, Cai Xiao looked at that silhouette with her rosy lips slightly raised. Even the gazes of Fang Yi and the Netherworld Prince had rippled.
Clang!
Clang! The golden-armoured silhouette took heavy steps. As he walked, traces of blood could be vaguely seen on the dragon scales of the Dragon-Phoenix Golden Armour. Clearly, even with the protection of the Dragon-Phoenix Golden Armour, Mu Chen wasn't completely unscathed.
But even so, the pitch-black pupils beneath the armour were still as sharp as blades. He paid no attention to the intense pain coming from his body as he stared at Liu Yan with a hawk-like gaze. A hoarse voice rang out from beneath the armour, "Next, it's my turn."
Liu Yan narrowed his eyes as the Spiritual Energy in his body abruptly surged out, sweeping across the horizon in scarlet.
Boom!
However, Mu Chen abruptly stomped his feet, causing the sturdy Dragon-Phoenix Stage to crumble beneath his feet. As a golden light flickered, his silhouette instantly soared into the horizon.
His silhouette had directly appeared before Wanyan Dharmakaya as he abruptly roared towards the sky. His roar was accompanied by the roar of a dragon and the cry of a phoenix.
A dazzling dark-golden light burst out from his body as the image of a True Dragon appeared before his chest. As the phoenix wings flapped behind him, there was a cry of a True Phoenix.
The cry of the dragon and phoenix caused an ancient pressure to spread throughout the heavens and earth. It was so much so that even the Dragon-Phoenix Golden Stage trembled at this moment, as if it was responding to the cry of the dragon and phoenix.
"What … is that?"
Countless experts were dumbfounded as they looked at the image of the dragon and phoenix behind Mu Chen. That ancient pressure wasn't something that an ordinary Dragon Clan could possess. It was the genuine pressure of a True Dragon and Phoenix!
"Dragon-Phoenix Physique?!"
Su Biyue's mouth slightly widened as she exclaimed. Her voice, which was initially sweet-sounding, was a little hoarse at this moment. Her eyes were filled with disbelief.
The hearts of Hong Yu, Ding Xuan and the rest trembled as shock appeared on their faces.
Dragon-Phoenix Physique?
The powerful physique that could only be formed by fusing the Blood Essences of the True Dragon and Phoenix into one?
But how was that possible?!
The Blood Essences of the Dragon and Phoenix were like fire and water. If they were to exist in one body, they would definitely explode!
Not to mention them, even an Earth Sovereign Realm powerhouse wouldn't be able to achieve this!
Logically speaking, that was indeed the case. But no one had expected that Mu Chen would be able to obtain the Dragon-Phoenix Golden Armour that was formed from the Blood Essences of the Dragon and Phoenix. Using such a divine item, he was able to fuse the Blood Essences of the Dragon and Phoenix and refine the unique Dragon-Phoenix Physique.
Although there were legends of the Dragon-Phoenix Physique in the Dragon-Phoenix Haven, no one had heard of anyone being able to refine it. So when they saw the image of the dragon and phoenix around Mu Chen, they were shocked to the point that their faces paled.
The indifferent expressions of Fang Yi and the Netherworld Prince, who were restraining Cai Xiao, had finally changed at this moment. They took a deep glance at Mu Chen and vaguely sensed a trace of danger.
There was a high possibility that this youth could really challenge their position.
Boom!
Countless shocked gazes were directed over, but Mu Chen paid no attention to them. He looked at Liu Yan's terrified face and a savage arc rose on the corner of his lips. Shortly after, he clenched his fist and threw a punch forth without any fancy moves.
It was a simple punch, but it was accompanied by a torrential golden light that swept out. In the golden light, the True Dragon and Phoenix whistled as they turned into golden fists that flew towards the Wanyan Dharmakaya.
This fist was the result of Mu Chen circulating the Spiritual Energy in his body to the limits. At the same time, he had also used the power of the Dragon-Phoenix Physique and the Dragon-Phoenix Golden Armour to unleash it.
A single fist caused the weather to change!
Thunder rumbled in the sky!
Liu Yan's face turned extremely unsightly at this moment as he hastily formed seals with his hands. The Wanyan Dharmakaya had also unleashed his full strength as a huge fist accompanied by scarlet flames burst forth.
Boom!
Two disproportionate fists tore through space. In the next instant, under countless shocked gazes, they heavily clashed together!
In that instant of collision, the clouds in the sky were instantly torn apart. It was so much so that even the two Dragon-Phoenix Stages that were close to each other were shattered.
As the golden light swept out, countless experts did not even blink their eyes. Thereafter, their pupils abruptly narrowed.
That's because they saw that under the fists accompanied by the dragon and phoenix, cracks were swiftly spreading out on the Wanyan Dharmakaya's fist. In just a few breaths' time, it had completely exploded with a boom.
Boom!
The massive Wanyan Dharmakaya had actually exploded from a single fist from Mu Chen!
The hearts of countless experts trembled. The outcome of this battle had already been determined.
However, the outcome had once again exceeded everyone's expectations.
