The Great Ruler

Chapter 829 - Humanoid Divine Beast

Splash!

Blood-red water endlessly rolled and surged in the rocky pool as the blood hydras were being constantly formed and bit at Mu Chen, revealing their extremely offensive characteristics.

However, the True Dragon and Phoenix tattoos seemed to have been provoked by the reaction of the Primordial Hydra's Blood Essences, unleashing draconic roars and phoenix cries, which broke apart those small hydras and absorbed them into the tattoos.

Along with the Primordial Hydra's Blood Essences being endlessly poured over, the dragon and phoenix tattoos on Mu Chen's chest and back seemed to have gotten brighter as well. But at this moment, an indescribable pain started to burst out in Mu Chen's body.

That intense pain had instantly made Mu Chen's face turn pale. When the Primordial Hydra's Blood Essences entered his body, the blood had started to wreak havoc from within. The Blood Essences of such Divine Beasts were extremely violent, filled with offensive characteristics. But Mu Chen could not suppress them, since it would interrupt the revival of the True Spirits. If it ended up in failure, he wouldn't have anymore face to let Mandala gather for him again.

"Damn it!" Mu Chen couldn't help cursing. If this went on, his body would be in a total mess by the Primordial Hydra's Blood Essences. Only now did he realise how tough it was to cultivate the Dragon-Phoenix Sutra.

Furthermore, he was still only the first Divine Beasts' Blood Essences! If he couldn't even bear this, how was he going to endure the other nine remaining Divine Beasts' Blood Essences?

Mu Chen frowned his brows and his gaze swiftly flickered as he pondered on ways to deal with this. But very quickly, a light flashed in his eyes as a sneer appeared on the corner of his lips.

"Blood Essence of the Primordial Hydra, you're very ferocious, right… but, there's something even more ferocious in my body!"

Mu Chen slightly shut his eyes as a dark-golden light blossomed on the surface of his body. Strands of dark-golden lustre flashed in his blood as deep draconic roars and phoenix cries resounded from his body.

They were the Dragon-Phoenix Blood Essences!

Mu Chen had absorbed a large amount of Dragon-Phoenix Blood Essences in order to form the Dragon-Phoenix Physique. Therefore, there were traces of aura belonging to True Dragon and Phoenix contained within his body.

Although the Primordial Hydra's ranking wasn't low on the Divine Beast Record, it was still a level beneath ultra Divine Beasts like the True Dragon and Phoenix.

Henceforth, when a golden light blossomed with draconic roars and phoenix cries echoing throughout, the Primordial Hydra's Blood Essences, which were wreaking havoc in his body, felt as if they had encountered a great opponent. A golden light enveloped over, which defeated the Primordial Hydra's Blood Essences, before being devoured by the dragon and phoenix tattoos under his control.

With the help of Dragon-Phoenix Blood Essences, Mu Chen's situation finally, swiftly turned better and he started to focus on absorbing the Primordial Hydra's Blood Essences…

And this absorption lasted for four days.

During those four days, Mu Chen could vaguely sense something gradually being restored to life on his chest and back.

On the fourth day, evening, the water level in the rocky pool finally started to dry up. When it had completely dried up, Mu Chen flicked his finger again and two jade bottles broke with drops of different colour Blood Essences falling, transforming into a boiling blood water that enveloped Mu Chen's figure within.

Mu Chen sat at the bottom of the rocky pool without any movement. The dragon and phoenix tattoos on his chest and back had also become even brighter. With more Divine Beasts' Blood Essences pouring into the tattoos, they became even more vivid and lively.

Strands of bloody light gradually enveloped the surface of Mu Chen's body as they shrouded around him.

For the next half-month, Mu Chen had not left the rocky pool. With more Divine Beasts' Blood Essences falling, the stench of blood had turned into a bloody light that soared into the horizon, which caused a commotion in the Nine Nether Palace.

The commotion even alarmed Nine Nether, who was in seclusion, and she rushed over to this rocky pool. After checking that there wasn't any mishap with Mu Chen, only then did she feel relieved and ordered to seal off this region.

"That fellow is too reckless." Nine Nether stood outside the rocky pool as she looked at Mu Chen, who was cultivating deep in the pool, and helplessly shook her head. He actually did not get anyone to stand guard when cultivating with such a commotion, it would be troublesome if something happened.

Although she was blaming Mu Chen, she had put down her cultivation and sat outside the rocky pool, preparing to stand guard for him.

"These Blood Essences…" When Nine Nether sat down, only then did she sense the violent Spiritual Energy in the blood pool. Immediately, her face changed with a hint of shock flashing in her eyes.

"Just what is this fellow cultivating, to actually require the Blood Essences of so many Divine Beasts?" Nine Nether's heart shook as her expression turned a little grave. Although the Blood Essences of Divine Beasts could refine the body, they were still too overbearing and weren't easy to absorb. Not to mention that Mu Chen was trying to absorb ten Divine Beasts' Blood Essences at the same time. The instant he was resisted by those Divine Beasts' Blood Essences, it would be a little troublesome.

But her worries did not last too long, since she vaguely heard a draconic roar and phoenix cry that rang out from Mu Chen's body and, immediately, her heart jolted.

"That's the pressure of a True Dragon and Phoenix!"

As someone from the Nine Nether Bird Clan, especially after evolving into the Nine Netherworld Bird, it could be considered as a huge clan in the Divine Beasts' Clans. The Nine Netherworld Bird contained the Bloodline of the Undying Bird, which could be considered in the same clan as the Phoenix Clan. The Undying Bird was also a pinnacle existence in the Phoenix Clan, but it wasn't well-known to the True Phoenixes due to how rare they were.

Therefore, when Nine Nether sensed the True Phoenix's pressure coming from Mu Chen's body, her face became unusual.

Nine Nether speechlessly shook her head and she did not ponder more about it as she calmed herself down, waiting for Mu Chen to complete his training.

And this wait lasted for an entire month.

In the depths of the Nine Nether Palace, even the sky was dyed red. Looking from afar, it looked like burning clouds that seemed extremely spectacular. However, Nine Nether did not have the luxury to pay attention to her surroundings. She anxiously looked at the rocky pool, since there were all sorts of roars coming from it.

In the boiling blood pool, Mu Chen sat at the bottom of the pool with numerous huge bloody figures frantically roaring at him.

Those bloody figures were formed by the Divine Beasts' Blood Essences that he had absorbed and refined. However, there were remnant wills in those Blood Essences. Initially, Mu Chen had them all suppressed with the pressure of the dragon and phoenix to keep them in check. But along with the number of Divine Beasts' Blood Essences increasing, they actually joined together to resist the pressure of the dragon and phoenix, since they sensed that if they did not resist, their remnant wills would be wiped out and be thoroughly absorbed.

He had to admit, the wills of those Divine Beasts were extremely troublesome. When they joined together to resist Mu Chen, it was hard for the dragon and phoenix pressure to attain the initial effect. Therefore, he could not complete the final step at the final moment.

"I've already come this far, I can't let you guys ruin it for me!" Mu Chen clenched his fists as he sucked in a mouthful of air and hardened his heart.

With the will of his thoughts, the golden light that enveloped him disappeared. Without the obstruction of the golden light, the figures of the ten Divine Beasts immediately unleashed roars as they burrowed into Mu Chen's body.

A bloody light started to spread out from Mu Chen's body, into every single corner of his body.

"Reverse devouring of the Divine Beasts' Blood Essences?!" Nine Nether's face instantly changed at this sight. She knew an accident would definitely occur in the attempt of absorbing so many Divine Beast's Blood Essences.

Roar!

Just when Nine Nether was worrying in her heart, Mu Chen also gave it his all. He aroused all of the power of Dragon-Phoenix Physique, as well as the Dragon-Phoenix Blood Essences that were hidden in his blood and flesh.

As the imposing dark-golden light shuttled through his blood and flesh, they mercilessly suppressed the bloody light.

Two different colours of light were frantically devouring the other. But this was, after all, Mu Chen's body, so it was the battlefield. Therefore, when the Dragon-Phoenix Physique and the Dragon-Phoenix Blood Essences completely burst out, the bloody light formed from the ten Divine Beasts were constantly beaten to retreat.

Naturally, the outcome of this would cause Mu Chen's body to be a battlefield, with shock waves being formed from the impacts. If it wasn't for his Dragon-Phoenix Physique that raised the toughness of his body, his body might have been torn apart by the impact.

"Devour all of them!"

Mu Chen's face drastically changed, looking a little ferocious and distorted, but there wasn't the slightest hesitation in his eyes. The roar in his heart caused the golden light to sweep out.

The golden light gushed out, along with an imposing draconic roar and phoenix cry, like a monarch sweeping through the rebels. Under the impact, the bloody light from the ten Divine Beasts had been torn apart.

All of the bloody lights were completely absorbed by the dragon and phoenix tattoos on Mu Chen's chest and back.

Mu Chen suddenly opened his eyes, then felt the blood and flesh on his chest and back trembling. As if something had shattered in his blood and flesh and came to life.

Roar!

Mu Chen's figure soared up as he unleashed a roar. The roar sounded like both a draconic roar and phoenix cry at the same time and a huge golden light soared from his body, even the layers of clouds were torn apart at this moment.

Nine Nether raised her head as she looked at the figure in the golden light. Vaguely, she actually felt a little oppressed by it. It wasn't the oppression of Spiritual Energy, but the oppression coming from Divine Beasts when they're on the same level.

Right now, Mu Chen felt like a humanoid Divine Beast to her!
