In the depths of the Greatlaw Sky.
Apex novel.
A lone peak stood towering. This peak was so high that it could practically overlook half of the Greatlaw Sky. This was the place with the densest Spiritual Energy in the entire Greatlaw Sky.
In the past, this was Mandala's personal cultivation ground, and ordinary people of the Great Heaven Domain couldn't enter. But this time, in order to provide the perfect conditions for Mu Chen's breakthrough, Mandala had lent this cultivation ground to him.
At this moment, there was a stone chamber on the lone peak. Mu Chen stood before the stone chamber and looked at the faint mist that permeated the surroundings with a smear of astonishment in his eyes.
That's because the mist was formed from Spiritual Energy, which was sufficient to show how dense and pure the Spiritual Energy in this region was … Evidently, there were many Spirit Convergence Arrays or similar Spiritual Arrays in this region that sucked in the Spiritual Energy of the entire Greatlaw Sky.
"This is an excellent place to train."
Mu Chen lightly smiled and no longer hesitated. He turned around and entered the stone chamber. He sealed the entrance and sat down on a stone bed in the spacious stone chamber.
He did not immediately make a breakthrough, but slowly closed his eyes and his mind gradually calmed down. The Spiritual Energy around him had turned into mist and endlessly poured into his body through his nose and pores.
He needed to cultivate his body to the most perfect state.
This cultivation lasted for nearly five days. When the fifth day arrived, Mu Chen opened his eyes once again. At this moment, his pitch-black eyes were sparkling with a lustre. It was a sign that the Spiritual Energy in his body had surged to the limit.
Mu Chen could sense it.
At this moment, his limbs and bones were flowing with boundless Spiritual Energy.
Every single move of his possessed the power to shatter mountains.
"It's about time …"
Mu Chen muttered to himself.
Shortly after, spiritual light blossomed in his eyes. With a flick of his finger, a streak of light whistled out. In the end, it was like a boiling river that occupied the spacious cave.
That river was sparkling and translucent, and the water within it was boiling. The Spiritual Aura that was being emitted actually caused the air to become moist, and faintly showed signs of transforming into water droplets.
This river.
It was formed from the 1,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid!
Mu Chen raised his head to look at the river formed from Spiritual Energy. Thereafter, he formed seals with his hands and slightly opened his mouth. In an instant, a current of Spiritual Energy whistled down and entered his mouth.
Majestic spiritual power suddenly exploded in Mu Chen's body.
However, Mu Chen's expression remained calm. He calmly changed his hand seals and drove the boundless Spiritual Force to circulate through his meridians before finally refining it.
They were endlessly being absorbed into his Sovereign Sea …
In the Sovereign Sea, the Spiritual Energy that covered the heavens and earth had turned into a storm as it poured down. The entire surface of the sea had also slowed down at this moment.
Although the surface of the sea was slow, it was still steadily rising.
Sensing the growth of the Spiritual Energy in his Sovereign Sea, there was no change in Mu Chen's expression.
He slowly closed his eyes and began to cultivate.
He still needed some time to nurture it and wait for the crucial moment to arrive.
Only then could he make a breakthrough.
Right now, he only needed to maintain the endless flow of Spiritual Energy into his Sovereign Sea.
Thus, Mu Chen gradually focused his mind and started to abandon everything else as he entered into a deep state of cultivation.
When he opened his eyes again, it was already ten days later.
In these ten days, he had absorbed nearly a fifth of the 1,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid. This had also caused Mu Chen's skin to constantly blossom with a dazzling spiritual light. The Spiritual Energy that emanated from his body was also constantly fluctuating. It was a sign that the Spiritual Energy in his body had gradually reached its limit.
"It's still not enough."
However, Mu Chen lightly shook his head. There was still some distance to break through. Thus, he closed his eyes once again …
In the next period of time, Mu Chen opened his eyes twice more. Every single time he opened his eyes, a portion of the 1,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid would decrease.
When he opened his eyes for the fourth time, the surging river had already turned into a stream and it had shrunk by five times. At this moment, an entire month had already passed.
At this moment, the spiritual light around Mu Chen had already reached the limit. Under the spiritual light, even his silhouette couldn't be clearly seen. Looking from afar, he was like a blazing sun.
An extremely powerful Spiritual Energy ripple quietly rippled out, causing the entire cave to faintly tremble. Faintly, faintly, cracks started to quietly spread out.
Mu Chen deeply inhaled a mouthful of air and moved his mouth. He was like a whale sucking in water as he devoured all the remaining Sovereign Spiritual Liquid. Buzz!
Buzz!
The spiritual light that burst out from his body had instantly reached an indescribable height. The Spiritual Energy in Mu Chen's Sovereign Sea had also reached the peak at this moment.
It was time for him to break through!
Mu Chen closed his eyes for the fifth time. However, he knew that when he opened his eyes again, he would have stepped into the Sixth Grade Sovereign Realm!
And this was the last time he closed his eyes, which lasted for half a month!
Outside the lone peak, this region was empty. When Mu Chen started his secluded cultivation, Mandala had sealed this region, forbidding anyone from the Great Heaven Domain from entering, in case they would disturb Mu Chen's breakthrough.
At this moment, several silhouettes appeared in the sky outside the lone peak. The one leading them was Mandala, with the three Emperors standing behind her.
The moment they appeared, they had directed their gazes towards the tightly shut cave on the peak. There was a Spiritual Array isolating the cave, which had also obstructed any fluctuations, making it hard for others to probe.
"It has already been half a month … Mu Chen still hasn't completed his breakthrough?
If he still doesn't come out, then the Jiu You Sparrow Clan will probably have to decide the quota. "The Sky Vulture Emperor looked at the tightly shut cave and couldn't help saying.
He had some relationship with the Jiu You Sparrow Clan, so he knew some matters regarding the Jiu You Sparrow Clan. After Elder Tianque brought Jiu You back to the clan, the Jiu You Sparrow Clan was greatly shaken by the matter of the Bloodlink Bond.
Some Elders with cold characters even intended to forcefully send out an army.
To suppress the Great Heaven Domain.
But in the end, they were all stopped by Elder Tianque. Naturally.
There was also Jiu You's resolute obstruction. Her seemingly vow to die had also caused those radical Elders in the Jiu You Sparrow Clan to restrain themselves a little. After all, not only was Jiu You's father the Patriarch of the Jiu You Sparrow Clan, but she was also the most likely existence in the Jiu You Sparrow Clan to evolve into the Primordial Undying Bird. Therefore, Jiu You's opinion and attitude couldn't be ignored.
But this matter was only temporarily delayed. If Mu Chen couldn't make it in time, then the quota would probably be determined.
At that time, even those Elders in the Jiu You Sparrow Clan that chose to watch because of Jiu You would have no choice but to tacitly accept some forceful methods to restore the purity of Jiu You's bloodline.
At that time, it wouldn't be good news for Mu Chen or the Great Heaven Domain.
"Breaking through is hard to predict in the first place. There's no benefit in forcing it."
Mandala's expression was calm when she heard this. A cold glint flashed across her golden eyes as she said coldly, "If the Jiu You Sparrow Race doesn't even have the patience to wait for this little bit of time, then I'll definitely kill you.
If that's the case, then there's nothing to talk about. When the time comes, if they really want to start a war, then I'll accompany them. I want to see.
He Jiu You Sparrow Race will lose a few earth supremes to me. "
As he spoke, a trace of murderous intent leaked out, causing the surrounding world to instantly darken.
At this moment, the Spiritual Energy between the heavens and earth showed signs of freezing.
The three Sovereigns sensed the killing intent.
They could not help but feel a chill on their skin as they looked at each other.
There was a smear of shock in their eyes. Compared to a month ago, Mandala didn't seem to have changed much, but the three Emperors could sense that Mandala had become much stronger!
"Congratulations to the Domain Ruler for stepping into the Greater Earth Sovereign Realm …" The Sleeping Emperor exclaimed as he shook his head with a smile.
Evidently, Mandala's change was due to her month of seclusion, which allowed her to take the last step into the Greater Earth Sovereign Realm from the Quasi-Greater Earth Sovereign Realm.
Although it was only a gap of half a step, the Sleeping Emperor and the rest were clear about how great the gap was. This was something that could be seen from the Hunting War. The Spiritual Puppet of the Fourth Palace Master had directly confronted the seven Earth Sovereigns of the Northern Region by itself …
Although the seven earth sovereigns were scheming against each other, if a war broke out, as long as Mandala was ruthless, who knew how many Earth Sovereigns would fall in the Jiu You Sparrow Clan. Even with the foundation of the Jiu You Sparrow Clan, it was something that they couldn't bear.
Not to mention that Mandala still had a genuine Saint Artifact in her hands. Borrowing the power of the Starlight Demon Suppression Pyramid, even amongst the Greater Earth Sovereigns, Mandala wouldn't be weak.
Boom!
Just when the three Emperors were surprised and delighted by Mandala's breakthrough, the lone peak in front of them suddenly trembled slightly. Following that, a clear roar suddenly resounded from the peak like rumbling thunder. In the end, the roar resonated in the world.
Boom!
As the roar resounded, the entrance of the cave exploded with rocks flying out. A silhouette flew out under the joyful gazes of the three Emperors and stood in the sky.
The three Emperors directed their gazes over and saw Mu Chen standing in the sky. At this moment, the latter's entire body was surging with spiritual light and his black pupils were akin to gems, emitting a radiance that shook the souls of others.
Looking at Mu Chen, the three Emperors felt heavily relieved. That's because they could naturally sense that Mu Chen was more than a fold stronger than half a month ago!
Clearly, Mu Chen had completed his breakthrough and stepped into the Sixth Grade Sovereign Realm!
"Haha, congratulations to King Mu for stepping into the Sixth Grade Sovereign Realm." The three Emperors smiled.
The radiance in Mu Chen's eyes gradually retracted as he looked at Mandala and the three Emperors with a smile, then flew forth.
Seeing him flying over, the chill on Mandala's face had also dissipated. She clenched her fist and several lights flickered, forming into five different-coloured scrolls.
"These are the Spiritual Arrays that you requested for me to find. Two of them are Heaven Grade Spiritual Arrays."
Hearing her words, Mu Chen rejoiced in his heart before looking at the five scrolls that were emanating bizarre fluctuations.
