The mysterious and ancient golden bone quietly lay in Mu Chen's hand. On its surface, there were profound runes that intertwined together, giving off a mysterious feeling.
ybdu。
Mu Chen carefully examined the golden bone with a pensive look in his eyes. This golden bone must have a deep relationship with the Dragon-Phoenix Physique that he had cultivated. Otherwise, his Dragon-Phoenix Physique wouldn't have such a special reaction to it.
Mu Chen's hand caressed the golden bone as he tried to pour Spiritual Energy into it. However, it ended in failure. There seemed to be a power within the golden bone that was resisting any energy that it didn't approve of.
Mu Chen's gaze flickered. It looked like if he wanted to know the secret of this golden bone, then he would need the energy that it approved of...
The energy that it approved of?
Mu Chen's eyes suddenly narrowed as he faintly smiled. He clenched his fist and his nails pierced into his palm. Instantly, crimson blood gushed out and flowed along Mu Chen's fingers, dripping onto the golden bone.
As the crimson blood slowly covered the golden bone, the ancient and profound runes on the bone wriggled as if they had come to life. In the end, with a rustle, it turned into a golden light that shot into the centre of Mu Chen's brows.
Boom!
A violent jolt shook through Mu Chen's body. It was as if a volcano had erupted within his mind. The rumbling noises caused the blood and aura within his body to violently churn and churn.
Mu Chen felt as if the world was spinning and his vision abruptly darkened.
However, the darkness only lasted for an instant before it was replaced by a golden light. Mu Chen looked around.
At this moment, it was as if he was standing on a golden ocean.
The golden ocean trembled at this moment as waves surged on the surface of the ocean. In the end, they gathered together and turned into a myriad foot wave that swept over in every direction.
Looking at the huge wave, Mu Chen's eyes suddenly narrowed.
There was a figure seated on the huge wave, surrounded by golden light.
No one could clearly see his appearance. However, the pressure radiating from his body caused Mu Chen to feel an enormous pressure.
The mysterious figure quietly sat cross-legged on the huge wave. Suddenly.
He threw his head back and let out a long howl.
That roar was extremely strange. It sounded like the roar of a dragon and the cry of a phoenix, but it also seemed like the perfect combination of the two. It was ancient and filled with an incomparably powerful feeling.
Xiu!
Golden light burst out from the mysterious figure's body, and under Mu Chen's astonished gaze, it turned into a massive True Dragon and True Phoenix.
Hiss.
Mu Chen sucked in a breath of cold air.
He looked at the dragon and phoenix protecting the mysterious figure, and his heart suddenly trembled.
He suddenly came to a realization. The silhouette before him seemed to have also cultivated the Dragon-Phoenix Physique!
Furthermore, the Dragon-Phoenix Physique that he had cultivated was already powerful to the point that it could turn the True Dragon and Phoenix Tattoos into reality!
Although it was impossible for the True Dragon and Phoenix to possess the battle prowess of a genuine True Dragon and Phoenix, they also possessed destructive power. If they were to join hands with their master, even supreme existences like the True Dragon and Phoenix would have to avoid them.
"What a powerful Dragon-Phoenix Physique!"
Mu Chen's blood boiled as he watched. Although the Dragon-Phoenix Physique that he had cultivated was only at the initial state, he was confident that there would be a day when he could reach the realm of that mysterious expert.
While Mu Chen's eyes were burning with desire, the mysterious figure seemed to have stood up from the huge wave and waved his hand. The True Dragon and Phoenix suddenly roared and clashed together.
A dazzling golden light burst out, but Mu Chen's expression froze, bit by bit, before it was replaced with dense shock. That's because he saw that the True Dragon and Phoenix had disappeared along with the eruption of the golden light. What replaced them was a massive mysterious lifeform that couldn't be seen.
It possessed the body of a dragon, with dark-golden dragon scales covering its body that flickered with dazzling light. Furthermore, there was a pair of massive phoenix wings that stretched out from the dragon's body. Those phoenix wings were roughly a myriad feet in length, and when they were spread out, they covered the sky and covered the sun.
The mysterious lifeform that resembled a dragon and phoenix coiled in the sky. It was dignified and mysterious, as if it was the most perfect existence in the world that made others feel reverence in their hearts.
"This is …"
Mu Chen's face was filled with shock as he muttered, "The legendary Dragon-Phoenix?"
In the ancient legends, the Dragon Clan and Phoenix Clan were both top-tiered Divine Beast Clans, but they weren't willing to submit to each other. Thus, there were many battles that broke out. But in the ancient times, there was a period of history where the Dragon Clan and Phoenix Clan formed an alliance. Furthermore, the one that led the Dragon Clan and Phoenix Clan back then was a legendary Dragon-Phoenix!
Only a mysterious lifeform that was a combination of both could obtain the acknowledgement of the prideful Dragon Clan and Phoenix Clan and proclaim themselves as kings.
However, the chances of a Dragon-Phoenix being born was too low, and there wasn't any news about it over the past tens of thousands of years. Thus, many people weren't familiar with it. It was so much so that even Mu Chen had only occasionally heard about it from Jiu You.
But right now, a legendary Dragon-Phoenix had appeared before Mu Chen.
"What a terrifying Dragon-Phoenix Physique."
Mu Chen muttered to himself. He was practically numb to it. He never imagined that when the Dragon-Phoenix Physique was cultivated to the limit, not only could it turn a True Dragon and Phoenix into something real, it could even fuse the two into a legendary Dragon-Phoenix!
Such a powerful technique was simply unbelievable.
Huff.
After a long while, Mu Chen deeply breathed out and exhaled the shock in his heart. Although the Dragon-Phoenix Physique was extremely profound, he could sense that it would be extremely difficult to cultivate it to the level of that mysterious expert.
In the sky, the Dragon-Phoenix gradually faded, before it turned into specks of golden light that drifted down. The mysterious figure on the huge wave flicked his finger and the golden light gathered before Mu Chen, forming into ancient words...
Mu Chen's eyes narrowed as he directed his gaze over.
At the top of the ancient words, there were four ancient words with dragons and phoenixes dancing in the air, emitting a boundless majesty.
It spread out.
"Dragon-Phoenix Sutra!"
In the end, the golden words turned into streaks of light that charged into Mu Chen's mind. The golden ocean before him started to crumble, and the figure on the huge wave also started to dissipate.
However, when it dissipated, Mu Chen felt as if he was looking at him. Under that gaze, Mu Chen felt as if he was looking at him.
It was as if his soul had been pierced through.
Before Mu Chen could recall that mysterious gaze, he opened his eyes. He was still on the Dragon-Phoenix Golden Platform.
The golden bone in his hand had turned into golden powder that scattered with the wind.
Mu Chen gently clenched his fist. He could sense some cryptic information appearing in his mind.
That should be the legendary "Dragon and Phoenix Scripture".
This caused an arc to rise on the corner of Mu Chen's lips.
Although he had cultivated the Dragon-Phoenix Physique, it was still the most basic. If he didn't have a cultivation technique like the Dragon-Phoenix Sutra, the Dragon-Phoenix Physique might only be slightly stronger than the Lightning God's Physique. It would be impossible for it to reach the level of that mysterious expert.
But fortunately, he did not miss out on it.
"Looks like your harvest isn't small." A crisp laughter suddenly resounded from his back.
Cai Xiao had also stepped forth. At this moment, the terrifying pressure in this region had already disappeared along with Mu Chen's success.
Therefore, she was able to easily ascend to the peak.
Mu Chen smiled as he nodded his head, "Thanks to you this time."
His tone was sincere. That's because he understood that if it wasn't for Cai Xiao's help in this Dragon-Phoenix Haven, it would have been tough for him to stand here. After all, with his current strength, it was impossible for him to confront geniuses like Fang Yi and the Netherworld Prince.
Therefore, it made Mu Chen rejoice that he met Cai Xiao along the way. Furthermore, he did not reject her following him.
Cai Xiao waved her hand in a carefree manner. "We're just getting what we need. Furthermore, if it wasn't for you, I would also have a headache. Therefore, you're not a freeloader."
Mu Chen smiled. Just when he was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed. High up in the sky of the Dragon-Phoenix Stage, a golden light suddenly spread out and formed into a massive spatial vortex.
Clearly, it was a spatial passage that led out of the Dragon-Phoenix Haven.
"Looks like this Dragon-Phoenix Haven is about to come to an end."
Cai Xiao looked at the spatial vortex and felt a little unsatisfied. Shortly after, she patted on Mu Chen's shoulder and chuckled, "Then, let's have a pleasant cooperation this time."
When Mu Chen saw her response, he nodded his head with a smile. "Let's have a pleasant cooperation."
Along with the appearance of the spatial vortex, many experts in this region no longer had any thoughts of staying. Whizzing sounds of wind resounded in this region as countless light figures flew over from every direction. In the end, they were endlessly shot into the spatial vortex.
Mu Chen did not stay any longer. He only sighed as he looked at this region. Thereafter, he no longer hesitated and turned into streaks of light along with Cai Xiao, charging into the spatial vortex.
After charging into the spatial vortex for less than half a minute, the surrounding scenery underwent a drastic change. The ancient desolate feeling that permeated the sky had completely disappeared. Replacing it was a peaceful world that caused one's heart to feel slightly relaxed.
The location where Mu Chen and his party appeared was still in the Dragon-Phoenix Mountain Range. At this moment, there were countless streaks of light in this region as silhouettes constantly flew out from the spatial vortex like locusts.
The entire heavens and earth was in a boiling state.
Mu Chen and Cai Xiao stood in the sky by themselves. When those locust-like silhouettes passed by them, they would automatically split apart and the gazes that were directed over were filled with fear.
In the Dragon-Phoenix Haven, Mu Chen and Cai Xiao had used their own strength to win the respect of those prideful experts.
Mu Chen looked around, intending to leave this place with Cai Xiao. However, just when he had such a thought, his face suddenly changed as he felt a terrifying Spiritual Energy pressure spreading out in this region.
Furthermore, that Spiritual Energy pressure was directed at him!
When the terrifying Spiritual Energy pressure enveloped over, a furious voice that contained killing intent abruptly rang out in this region, causing the faces of countless experts to change.
"Little bastard, you actually dared to destroy my son's body and injure his Spirit. Today, I will make sure that you die without a burial!"
Mu Chen's face drastically changed. That was the Palace Master of the Sky Profound Palace, Liu Tiandao!
