Chapter 1060: Phoenix Blood Worshipping Spirit

The moment the black light beam swept across the sky and crashed into the incoming flying ice phoenix, the land immediately darkened. At that moment, it seemed like even the earth was afraid of such a daunting impact.

However, the impact was quieter than what anyone had imagined. Instead, it was the silence that brought fear into everyone’s hearts. However, the silence did not last for very long, as everyone could see an extremely violent current explode in the dark.

Kacha!

The air froze instantly wherever the cold current swept across. The entire world was turned into an ice world. However, the ice was not the same icy blue as before. It was mixed with black, as it contained two types of fearsome powers.

As the violent cold current swept across, thick layers of frost covered the vast altar. However, there was a similar fierce spiritual energy being exuded from another two battlefields on the altar that blocked the cold current from sweeping away.

Affected by the cold current, the fierce battle between Kong Ling, Zong Qingfeng, and the rest paused for a moment. They lifted their heads in shock, fixing their gazes at the source of the impact in the sky.

“Mu Chen… He can actually compete with Bai Ming?” The four of them watched the sky with astonishment. Subsequently, their expressions became solemn. Previously, none of them had considered Mu Chen as a top power on the same level as they were. So, they did not think that Mu Chen would get any favorable outcome from the battle with Bai Ming. However, the scene before them apparently proved them wrong.

Kong Ling’s beautiful eyes flickered, and she shook her head slightly. Mu Chen was a total surprise. Luckily, they did not hold any grudges. Otherwise, she might be in trouble dealing with such an enemy.

“Heh, looks like he can protect himself without my help.” Lu Hou from the Heaven Piercing Ape Clan smiled widely. Previously, he thought that even if Mu Chen was defeated, he could still save his life. But now, Mu Chen did not seem to need saving.

Zong Qingfeng from the Giant Bird Clan looked deeply at Mu Chen. He had heard his name long before. Zong Teng seemed to have some conflict with Mu Chen, as he sought help from him to settle a matter with Mu Chen. Zong Qingfeng did not mind doing so if he had the chance. That had been his initial intention. Judging from the current situation, he had given up the thought. He had better warn Zong Teng not to provoke such a ruthless man.

“Given the combat strength that Mu Chen has displayed now, he should be able to stall Bai Ming for quite some time. Heh, that would be good. Even if he cannot stop him, he will not let Bai Ming obtain the Inherited Blood Essence of the Undying Bird easily.”

…

“D*mn it!” While the rest of the people had their own thoughts, Bai Ming looked far into the dark sky with a hardened expression. The black light beam and the ice phoenix almost took up half of the sky each. They were crazily attacking, trying their best to eliminate one another, but neither succeeded in doing so. As such, the battle was in a stalemate.

Apparently, Bai Ming did not want to see a stalemate situation.

He could not believe that his Grade Eight Sovereign combat strength coupled with the help of a Quasi-Divine Artifact could not even a slay a Grade Seven Sovereign human being.

“Dream on if you want to beat me today!” Cold radiance flashed in Bai Ming’s eyes. Immediately, he changed his hand formation. The cold current spurting out from the Ice Phoenix Spiritual Fan suddenly exploded exponentially. Sweeping out without stopping, the cold current tried to utterly annihilate the destructive black light beam.

Mu Chen could feel the oppression from the ice phoenix intensifying while he stood on the Great Solar Undying Body. Obviously, Bai Ming was increasing his spiritual energy in hopes of sealing the winner’s fate.

“You have looked down on the offense launched by millions of drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid.” Mu Chen’s lips drew into a mocking curve.

Despite the fact that Mu Chen’s heart ached each time the activation of the Exterminating Eye consumed a large amount of Sovereign Spiritual Energy, he was consoled by the impact produced by its attack. It was definitely worth the price.

When he thought of this, he hesitated no more. The black vertical eye in between his brows suddenly released circles of black lights like a halo. Mysterious black runes seemed to be gathering within it.

Shoo!

A fine black light ray shot out from the Exterminating Eye at lightning speed and infused into the destructive black light beam that was battling the ice phoenix. The black light beam grew at once as the wind blew. A daunting black impact force swept out wave after wave, cracking the surrounding space.

A calm voice came from Mu Chen. “Pierce.”

Boom!

Just as he finished speaking, the daunting black light beam seemed to have received an instruction from the God of Destruction. The black light vibrated and forcefully went through the ice phoenix. A gigantic black hole appeared on the ice phoenix’s body, and the black hole seemed to be enlarging itself. The ice phoenix slowly turned into darkness.

Bai Ming’s face turned as white as a sheet as the ice phoenix was pierced through. His eyes were filled with disbelief. The ultimate power-up offense that he fired up with the Ice Phoenix Spiritual Fan had not only been blocked by Mu Chen, it was also being countered?

The expression on Bai Ming’s face twisted as he groaned, “How can this be possible!?”

Shoo!

Mu Chen did not care about his feelings. The black light beam which consumed millions of drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid had used up a large amount of its energy after it pierced through the ice phoenix. However, it did not dissipate completely. So, with a thought in his mind, the black light beam turned around suddenly and swept towards Bai Ming. Apparently, Mu Chen wanted to make use of this opportunity to finish him off.

“Trying to kill me? Dream on!” Bai Ming narrowed his eyes when he saw this. He gave a yell and stomped his feet. Instantaneously, storm-like spiritual energy swarmed out from his body and formed another gigantic ice phoenix behind him. Ice crystals sparkled in shining lights on the enormous ice phoenix’s body as it was exuding massive oppression.

Bai Ming had been forced to show his Divine Beast’s form.

He made a swift move and appeared on the gigantic ice phoenix. He clenched his fist and held the Ice Phoenix Spiritual Fan in midair. Cold current surged, blinking with icy blue colors.

“Ice Phoenix Protection!” Bai Ming flicked the folding fan in his hand. An icy blue cold current spurted out, and a torrent was forming under the ice phoenix’s feet. Within a short while, a 1,000-foot-tall ice shield formed in midair, protecting the Bai Ming.

Boom!

The destructive light beam came through and struck the ice shield with force. Immediately, a kacha sound could be heard, and cracks started to form and spread quickly on the entire ice shield.

Bang!

The ice shield reached its maximum durability and eventually burst into pieces. Bai Ming, who was standing on the large ice phoenix, was hit by the impact, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. His face turned extremely dark.

Woah!

On the altar, the top powers were drawing cold breaths without realizing it. In this battle between Mu Chen and Bai Ming, no one expected the latter to be the first showing signs of injury.

“How… how could this be possible?!” Bai Bin’s face turned white when he saw this.

Chi Hongwu stood by the side looking serious. At this point, anyone who still thought Mu Chen was an ordinary Grade Seven Sovereign must be really stupid.

This time, Bai Ming had finally met his match.

Standing on the Great Solar Undying Body, Mu Chen did not have many changes in his expression as he looked at Bai Ming spitting out blood. He was feeling pitiful that Bai Ming had reacted so quickly. As soon as Bai Ming realized something was amiss, he put up a full defense with all his might. That mouthful of blood was a sign that the damage of the impact was insignificant for him. On the other hand, Mu Chen’s exterminating divine light disappeared completely.

Millions of drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid were utterly consumed, and Bai Ming was only suffering from a slight injury.

He was really a tricky fellow.

Bai Ming slowly wiped off the blood stain at the corner of his lips. He stood on top of the ice phoenix. With a deep and cold look in his eyes, he looked at Mu Chen and asked in a husky voice, “How many times can you launch that kind of attack?”

Mu Chen’s offense was too daunting, but he knew that such a forceful attack must have come with limitations. Otherwise, nobody would be able to take his assaults if Mu Chen could use them a few times in a row.

“Do you want to try?” Mu Chen smiled when he heard that.

“Of course! I’m not afraid of you!” Bai Ming gave a cold laugh and stomped his feet hard. The ice phoenix beneath him spread its wings and blasted off. As the wings flapped, endless streams of torrents swept towards the Great Solar Undying Body.

Boom!

The Great Solar Undying Body charged out with an encompassing golden ray defending against the storming cold current. Violent attacks struck out without stopping.

The golden lights and the cold current howled in the sky. The two massive bodies collided with each other continuously. The impact shook the earth. Right above the two massive bodies, another two figures were exchanging blows at a rapid speed. They circulated their spiritual energy to the maximum, and the speed was so fast that only afterimages could be seen in midair.

Within a few minutes, they had exchanged hundreds of rounds of blows. Every confrontation seemed to be tearing up the earth. The situation was terrifying.

Everyone looked dumbfoundedly at the breathtaking battle on the altar. The killing intent and the powerful spiritual energy exuded from both of them struck fear into everyone. The two of them were immersed in the fight.

Boom!

The Great Solar Undying Body’s huge fist and the Ice Phoenix’s gigantic wing collided. At the same time, Mu Chen struck his palm out and slammed right at Bai Ming’s incoming ice fist. An impact wave rippled. Both parties were shaken and staggered back together. Their surrounding spiritual energies were messed up by the impact.

There was again no winner in this fierce battle.

“D*mn! D*mn!”

Such a stalemate only agitated Bai Ming further. His eyes turned redder. His pride would not allow him to be stranded in a battle with a mere Grade Seven Sovereign human being.

“I will make you die in this place, whatever the cost!” Bai Ming growled fiercely with surging killing intent.

Mu Chen watched the hideous Bai Ming with a slight change in his expression. He put up his guard.

Mu Chen knew that given Bai Ming’s strength and identity, he must have some unused trump cards, but he found it a waste to use them just now. However, with the repeated failed attempts, he could not keep them hidden anymore.

Bai Ming’s eyes were all red. His killing intent surged as he locked his gaze on Mu Chen. Stomping his feet hard, the ice phoenix beneath him gave a painful cry and spat out a mouthful of blood essence. That mouthful of blood essence contained violent spiritual energy.

Bai Ming tapped his finger, and the Ice Phoenix Spiritual Fan flew out from his hand. The folding fan swallowed the blood essence as if it were opening a big mouth. Bai Ming’s face was awfully pale. The icy blue spiritual fan gradually turned into a blood-red fan. Vague bloody, hideous veins were climbing and protruding out of the fan.

Bai Ming looked at the transformation of the spiritual fan and growled. The growling sound resounded in the sky. “Phoenix Blood Worshipping Spirit!”
