The Great Ruler

Chapter 828 - Divine Blood Refining the Body

On the lion statue in the training field, Mu Chen looked at Mandala’s golden pupils, which were filled with fighting intent, under the shine of sunlight and couldn’t help shivering. action

He never thought that the petite-looking Ruler would be so insane deep in her bones. Other forces were fearing for the Hunting War but as for her, she was yearning for it.

However, the other peak forces were not sheep that they could be easily slaughtered. They were all powerful existences that could tremble the entire Northern Region with their feet.

Mu Chen pursed his lips. Although the Hunting War had not arrived, he could vaguely smell the stench of blood. No one knew which peak forces would be devoured in this Hunting War.

But, no matter who it was, the outcome would definitely shake the Northern Region, since the resources and territories of a peak force would cause others to drool.

The blaze in Mandala’s eyes gradually retracted as she looked at Mu Chen with her golden pupils and suddenly smiled without any signs beforehand. “Do you know about the Ancient Haven Palace?”

Hearing the familiar name, Mu Chen’s body abruptly jolted before raising his head and looked at Mandala with slight ecstasy, even his heartbeat had sped up.

Wasn’t the Ancient Haven Palace the reason he came to the Skylaw Continent with Nine Nether?!

That’s because there was another Immortal Catalog in the Ancient Haven Palace that would grant another evolution to his Great Solar Undying Body!

“Looks like the Ancient Haven Palace is the reason why you came to the Skylaw Continent.” Mandala faintly smiled as she glanced at Mu Chen. “Don’t make a big fuss over it. Since you possess the Great Solar Undying Body, you must also know some information about it. In the Ancient Haven Palace, there is, indeed, something you want.”

Mu Chen’s gaze suddenly turned heated and even his breathing had quickened. In the past year, this was the first time that he had obtained confirmed information. Although he didn’t know what the Ancient Haven Palace was, at least it meant that he had something he needed in the Skylaw Continent.

“Do you know where the Ancient Haven Palace is located?” Mu Chen couldn’t help asking as he looked at Mandala.

Mandala cast her rosy lips aside as she answered, “The Ancient Haven Palace is, indeed, hidden in the Skylaw Continent. But, no one knows where it is located. My guess is that it should be in a spatial realm that was sealed by someone.”

“Even an Earth Sovereign Realm expert like you cannot probe its location?” Mu Chen asked with his brows frowned.

Mandala rolled her eyes at Mu Chen. “Even in the Primordial Age, the Ancient Haven Palace was a famous force and the Palace Master was a pinnacle expert. How could a seal cast by such an expert before he fell be something that an Earth Sovereign Realm can probe?”

Mu Chen awkwardly smiled and sighed in his heart. In this world, there was, indeed, a mountain taller than the other.

“But although I cannot probe the location of the Ancient Haven Palace, there is a powerhouse from the Ancient Haven Palace that fell in the Fallen Battlefield. I believe that we might be able to obtain some information regarding the Ancient Haven Palace from there.”

Mu Chen nodded his head. Although the information was too vague, he still managed to get some information about it. At least it was better than him moving blindly around, since his main objective for going to the Ancient Haven Palace was the other page of the Immortal Catalog.

Because Mu Chen was clear that if he wanted to track the path of a supreme powerhouse, the Immortal Catalog was something that could provide him with great aid.

The day when he could evolve his Great Solar Undying Body into the Primordial Immortal Body, that would be the day when he possessed the qualification to have his name shake the Great Thousand World.

At that time, be it the Luo God Clan or the mysterious Clan which his mother belonged to, he would no longer have to fear any of them!

“Looks like I definitely have to make a trip to the Fallen Battlefield.”

Mu Chen muttered. It didn’t matter if he could get any information regarding the Ancient Haven Palace, he still had to make an attempt, since it was for the legendary Primordial Immortal Body.

For the next two months, Mu Chen had also seized the moment to cultivate while training the Nine Nether Troop. The scale of the Hunting War affected all the forces in the Northern Region, so one could imagine how dreadful it was.

Although he had a high status in the Great Havenlaw Domain right now, he knew that his strength was far from sufficient for the Hunting War.

But, right now, he had just broken through to the Fourth Grade Sovereign Realm and just managed to stabilize the Spiritual Energy in his body, so it wasn’t suitable for him to attempt another breakthrough. So, if he wanted to increase his strength, then he would have to rely on other methods.

Take the Dragon-Phoenix Sutra, for example.

Deep in the Nine Nether Palace

On an empty rocky pool, Mu Chen quietly sat as he flicked his finger before the rocky pool and ten jade bottles appeared before him. Those jade bottles flickered with light runes on their surfaces. They were simple seals that sealed the Divine Beasts’ Blood Essences, preventing the violent Spiritual Energy from leaking out.

Mu Chen stared at the ten jade bottles and the expression on his face turned a little grave. Although he had obtained the legendary Dragon-Phoenix Physique in the Dragon-Phoenix Haven, he was clear that it was only the most initial form. It could only make his body a little stronger, and if he wanted to reach the height where he possessed the power of the True Dragon and Phoenix, he would have to go through tough training.

And, right now was the first step.

Mu Chen had taken off his clothes, revealing a figure that wasn’t too sturdy, but anyone could sense the horrifying power contained under his body. On his chest and his back were the tattoos of the True Dragon and Phoenix.

Mu Chen lowered his head and looked at the True Dragon and Phoenix tattoos and gently touched them. They weren’t just simple tattoos, they gave off a peculiar feeling, as if they were alive.

According to the Dragon-Phoenix Sutra, there were three stages in cultivating the Dragon-Phoenix Physique. The first stage was the ‘Revival of True Spirits’, second being ‘Forming’ and the third, the ‘Dragon-Phoenix Comes to Life’.

The two tattoos on Mu Chen’s chest and back should be known as the Spirit of True Dragon and Phoenix, since those tattoos contained traces of Spirits left behind by the True Dragon and Phoenix.

This stage requireed the Blood Essences of numerous Divine Beasts to revive the Spirits of the True Dragon and Phoenix, allowing them to bestow stronger powers onto Mu Chen.

That’s because, when the True Dragon and Phoenix’s Spirits were completely revived, they could attain the ‘Forming’ stage. Reaching that step, the True Dragon and Phoenix tattoos would be able to break free from the boundaries of his body, awakening the power belonging to the True Dragon and Phoenix.

The third being ‘Dragon-Phoenix Comes to Life’... it was evident what those words meant.

What Mu Chen needed to do now was the first stage, the ‘Revival of True Spirits’.

Huff.

Mu Chen gently spat out a mouthful of air, while retracting his gaze from the tattoos. He no longer hesitated and flicked his finger, shooting a spiritual light out and shattered a jade bottle.

Creak! Crack!

Several drops of dark-red blood instantly fell and as the falling speed accelerated, there were sounds of splashing waves.

Those Blood Essences fell into the rocky pool and swiftly expanded at a stunning speed. In a few breaths’ time, those few drops of Blood Essences had turned into a boiling blood pool.

The violent Spiritual Energy and dense stench of blood emanated from the blood pool as it soared towards the horizon. Those Blood Essences were clearly extremely violent and they tried to corrode the rocky pool. But, fortunately, Mu Chen came prepared. The rocky pool was forged with special materials, thus preventing corrosion.

“Truly worthy of being the Blood Essences of a Primordial Hydra...”

Mu Chen looked at the boiling blood pool and couldn’t help sighing. It was just several drops of Blood Essences and it could form into a pool of blood. The Primordial Hydra was truly worthy of being ranked in the top tier of the Divine Beast Records.

Those Divine Beasts’ Blood Essences had not been refined beforehand, so they were filled with offensive characteristics. But this was just something that Mu Chen needed. Only the most primitive Divine Beasts’ Blood Essences could revive the True Dragon and Phoenix’s Spirits.

Except this process would be extremely painful.

Mu Chen looked at the boiling blood pool and slowly clenched his hands. He no longer hesitated. He took off his clothes and leaped into the pool.

Splash.

Fresh blood splattered as Mu Chen formed seals with his hands in the blood pool. The entire pool started to boil, forming a red vortex with Mu Chen in the centre.

Hiss! Hiss!

Countless hissing noises rang out from the pool. As the blood surged, it formed into small-sized blood hydras that frantically bit onto Mu Chen’s body.

Mu Chen’s body violently trembled as the intense pain made his face turn a little pale.

However, the intense pain did not devour Mu Chen’s consciousness. On the contrary, he deeply inhaled a mouthful of air before changing his seals and started to activate the Dragon-Phoenix Sutra.

When the Dragon-Phoenix Sutra was activated, the True Dragon and Phoenix tattoos on Mu Chen’s chest and back started to emit a spiritual light, along with a deep draconic roar and phoenix cry resonating out. Thereafter, those blood hydras were torn apart and strands of blood endlessly travelled across Mu Chen’s skin, then devoured by the True Dragon and Phoenix tattoos.

Although the Blood Essences of a Primordial Hydra was extremely overbearing, it was still a level lacking before the True Dragon and Phoenix.

However, Mu Chen knew that the process of using Divine Blood to refine his body had just started.
