BXBX NOVEL Chapter 681 - Goldpond Peak
He abruptly stood up and waved his hand. Two streaks of light swiftly flew from his palm at lightning speed, turning into a massive purple dragon and a black lightning elephant that could be seen from the horizon.
The two colossal figures hovered over the horizon as they caused the Spiritual Energy fluctuations of this region to intensely boil.
“Dragon and elephant converge!”
Mu Chen formed seals with both if hands as the roaring of a dragon and the howling of an elephant resounded across the horizon. The two colossal figures flew out. They were like meteors that streaked across the horizon and collided.
Boom!
The horrifying Spiritual Energy shock waves wreaked havoc. The two attributes heavily clashed together, causing space to distort. Purple flames and black lightning violently wriggled as a light disc that was roughly a foot in size slowly formed.
The light disc was split into purple and black with a purple dragon and a black elephant on it. It was like divine dragon and elephant pearl with two forces of dreadful energy converged together, causing astonishing changes.
Crack.
Space seemed like it could not endure this energy as fine cracks started to spread...
Mu Chen’s face also turned grave at this moment as that energy seemed to have gone beyond his control. This Nine Dragons and Elephants Art was genuinely fearsome.
Violently energy throbbed on the dragon and elephant light disc, showing signs of crumbling apart.
Whoosh!
The throbbing frequency increased on the dragon and elephant light disc and emitted a buzzing noise at the end. Watching the situation, Mu Chen immediately flicked his finger out as the dragon and elephant light disc turned into a violent streak of light that flew towards the distance.
“Uhh...”
Mu Chen had just thrown the dragon and elephant light disc that had gone beyond his control, and the corner of his lips twitched, realising that it was directed at the Nine Nether Palace...
The ray of light streaked across the horizon as it swiftly descended towards the Nine Nether Palace.
Rustle!
A streak of light shot out from the Nine Nether Palace, appearing over the horizon. The one that appeared was Nine Nether, she was also a little startled when she saw the incoming attack. Shortly after, there was anger and a smile on her face when she saw the origin of the attack.
“That fellow.”
Nine Nether grumbled as she stretched her hand out. Shortly after, boundless Spiritual Energy swept out, forming into vast wings of light. The wings folded together like a shield to protect her.
Boom!
The dragon and elephant light disc violently clashed against the wings of light. In an instant, dreadful Spiritual Energy shock waves wreaked havoc. Looking from afar, they were like massive fireworks.
Everyone in the Nine Nether Palace had also raised their heads in shock after watching this scene.
The Spiritual Energy shock wave caused by the explosion of the dragon and elephant light disc was entirely warded off by the wings of light. However, as the shock wave was dissipating, the wings of light also started to crumble, along with an astonished expression written on Nine Nether’s beautiful face.
A single layer of her defence was actually destroyed by Mu Chen’s attack.
Although it was just casually formed, her strength as a Fourth Grade Sovereign was three grades above Mu Chen. It was a distance that could not be complemented with any methods so easily.
Nine Nether’s gaze flickered as she strode forth and directly appeared before Mu Chen, who was on a mountain peak far away. The latter had an embarrassed expression as he quickly said, “It was a mistake, a mistake.”
“What was that earlier?” Nine Nether did not blame Mu Chen, but inquired with curiosity.
“It’s the Nine Dragons and Elephants Art from the auction.” Mu Chen did not hide it from her as he answered with a smile.
“Oh? You have successfully cultivated it?” Nine Nether’s brows gently twitched as the shock in her eyes grew more profound. She had seen that Divine Art scroll before and had no idea about how to cultivate it. But right now, Mu Chen had successfully cultivated it?
“I just managed to touch the foothold of it.” Mu Chen nodded his head. There was no need to hide anything from Nine Nether and he told her what insight he had gained from it.
Hearing his words, Nine Nether lightly frowned her brows. “So it turns out that this Nine Dragons and Elephants Art cannot be directly executed and requires to be formed in the Sovereign Sea beforehand. Also... according to what you have just said, the dragon and elephant must be formed with two powers of two different attributes.”
Mu Chen nodded his head. That was the most crucial and challenging point. If it wasn’t for the fact that he had previously cultivated the Lightning God’s Physique, thus possessing the power of lightning, he might not have successfully cultivated the Nine Dragons and Elephants Art.
“The power of your lightning energy relies on the Lightning God’s Physique, so I’m afraid that it will be tough for you to fully cultivate this Nine Dragons and Elephants Art to great completion with this lightning energy.” Although Nine Nether had not cultivated the Nine Dragons and Elephants Art, she was, after all, someone with vast experience as she said after a brief pondering.
Hearing her words, Mu Chen had nodded his head as well with his brows knitted together. Right now, he had only completed the initial cultivation of the Nine Dragons and Elephants Art. Thus, he could barely support it with the lightning energy of the Lightning God’s Physique. However, once his attainments had gone deep within, the lightning energy that he would require would definitely not be something that this lightning energy could support.
Nine Dragons and Elephants Art, at the pinnacle, it could form nine dragons and nine elephants. Right now, Mu Chen had only just created a single dragon and elephant...
“Then, what should I do?” Mu Chen scratched his head as he said, looking at Nine Nether.
Nine Nether briefly pondered and laughed, “It’s hard to say, but at the same time, it is also simple to say... Just fuse with another energy with the attribute of lightning.”
Right now, Mu Chen’s Spiritual Energy was fused with Undying Flames. As long as he fused with another lightning energy, his Spiritual Energy would possess two attributes. Thus, it was perfectly suitable for the Nine Dragons and Elephants Art.
Mu Chen couldn’t help rolling his eyes. Back then, when he fused with the Undying Flames, he suffered terribly; and right now, he had to fuse with another energy with a unique attribute. The danger and toughness of it weren’t merely one plus one, many Sovereign experts did not dare to fuse with two energies of two different attributes in their lifetimes. In an instant, if there were clashes between the two energies, the side effects would definitely not be small.
“Although it is very tough for others, there’s certain chance of success for you. After all, you have previously cultivated the Lightning God’s Physique. Thus, your body and the Spiritual Energy in your body would have some compatibility towards lightning energy. So you are only required to fuse with another lightning energy that isn’t any weaker than the Undying Flames. You can give it a try.” Nine Nether said seriously.
“A lightning energy that wasn’t any weaker than the Undying Flames...” Mu Chen bitterly smiled. The Undying Flames wasn’t any cabbage out in the street stalls, it wasn’t easy to find a lightning energy that was comparable to the Undying Flames.
“Since there’s no rush to it, you can slowly search for it. If you’re fated, you will encounter it.” Nine Nether lightly patted Mu Chen’s shoulder with her jade-like hand as she consoled.
Mu Chen nodded his head, this was the only way. But fortunately, he had no rush for it as the Nine Dragons and Elephants Art was sufficient for him to slowly probe his way through it.
“In three days, the Greatlaw Goldpond competition will begin.”
Nine Nether looked at Mu Chen with her brilliant eyes as she pursed her lips and smiled. “We will depend on your performance for our Nine Nether Palace to get our face back.”
“I will sincerely comply with the orders of the Palace Master.” Mu Chen cupped his hands and laughed, his black eyes were flickering with splendour. This could be considered as his first battle since his arrival in the Greatlaw Goldpond. Right now, in the Great Thousand World, it was similar to back then, when he had just arrived in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy with no fame. However, he knew that there would be a day where he would stand out amongst the many monstrous geniuses in the Great Thousand World and fulfil his promise to that girl he had been missing.
He was waiting for that day with expectations.
The youth raised his head on the mountain peak as he looked at the horizon with a gentle arc slowly lifted on the corner of his lips. He was dashing and filled with self-confidence.
Luo Li, wait for me to kill and slaughter for you.
...
Three days swiftly passed by in the blink of an eye.
Boom! Boom!
When the third sun tore through the dark night and shone on this land, heavy drum beats slowly rang out across the Great Skylaw. Those drumbeats were filled with elated fighting intent, causing the Spiritual Energies in this region to seem agitated.
Countless figures streaked across the horizon as the sharp breaking of wind rang out between the heavens and earth.
The Greatlaw Goldpond competiton could be considered as a grand occasion in the Great Havenlaw Domain. The competition for it would be very intense for the various factions. Everyone wanted to stand out in this occasion. To achieve a decent performance, the various factions would send out their strongest expert. Hoping to raise the prestige of their factions in the Great Havenlaw Domain.
But, naturally, not to mention how tempting the Greatlaw Goldpond was, the strange power to make the Sovereign Celestial Body even more perfect was sufficient to make numerous Sovereign experts drool.
In the depths of the Great Havenlaw Domain stood a majestic mountain peak. The mountain peak was covered in lush green as golden light radiated from the peak, being extremely dazzling. It was the location of the Greatlaw Goldpond.
This mountain peak was known as the Goldpond Peak, a forbidden region in the Great Havenlaw Domain. Entry was forbidden during the usual times. It was only opened during the competition of the Greatlaw Goldpond, where entries were allowed.
Right now, fighting intent was curling up beneath the Goldpond Peak as boiling voices soared across the horizon.
A black multitude of people extended towards the end of the lines-of-sight beneath the mountain, it was a magnificent sight.
Beneath the mountain, there were nine great stone stages. Those stone stages were vast with killing intent soaring across the skies. There were eight different factions whose strengths weren’t ordinary that quietly stood on them, their grandeur was heart-alarming.
The Nine Nether Stone Stage was the last and was empty at the moment, without anyone on it. This scene was noticed by many people, but it wasn’t unexpected for them, since they knew that the spot of the Nine Nether Palace had been empty for all these years. So everyone was already used to it.
At least, in the view of many people, the Nine Nether Palace was gone in reality in the Great Havenlaw Domain.
Boom!
Just when many people felt disdain inwardly, there was suddenly an astonishing killing intent far across the horizon. A numerable amount of people raised their heads and saw a patch of black clouds sweeping over and heavily landed on that stone stage.
It was an army of nearly a thousand donned in black armour that quietly stood without any words coming from them. Yet the killing intent that was emitted from them genuinely raised sidelong eyebrows.
Standing before the army was a slender silhouette. The youth had handsome features as he calmly raised his head. His gaze looked at the eight other stone stages without any fear in his black pupils.
