“We have a deal?” the bald old man with tattered black robe directed his muddy eyes towards Mu Chen.

“Yes!”

Mu Chen heavily nodded his head and, shortly after, he smiled, “Even if it’s dangerous, I doubt that Senior would kill me in a move, right?”

“You won’t die, at most, you would just lie on your bed for few months.” the bald old man hoarsely smiled as he extended his skinny hands out and rubbed his bald head.

Mu Chen’s smile stiffed. Shortly after, he helplessly inhaled a mouthful of air. No matter what, since he had accepted the terms, then even if he crossed mountains of daggers or seas of flames, he had to give it a try.

“Can you do it?” the Nine Netherbird secretly asked with concern in it’s eyes.

“I’ll give it a try.” Mu Chen also didn’t have a huge amount of confidence. This bald old man that was before him was definitely the most fearsome person he had ever seen. It’s to the point that he was even stronger than the White Dragon Sovereign.

“Later on, I will secretly help you.” the Nine Netherbird said in Mu Chen’s heart. After all, Mu Chen was helping the Nine Netherbird refine the Divine Lightning Bead and, henceforth, encountered this trouble.

When Mu Chen heard what the Nine Netherbird said, he did not reply. The bald old man hoarsely smiled as he swept his skinny hands and a streak of light flew out, shrouding the Nine Netherbird. No matter how much it tried to struggle, the Nine Netherbird couldn’t break free.

“Small Nine Netherbird, watch from the side.” the bald old man smiled while narrowing his eyes.

The Nine Netherbird struggled for a period of time, but seeing that it wasn’t very effective, the Nine Netherbird could only stare at the bald old man viciously and said, “If anything happens to him, I definitely won’t let you off. Even if I can’t best you right now, that doesn’t mean that I can’t in the future.”

The bald old man smiled, “Nine Netherbird, you still have a long way to go. Even when you manage to successfully evolve and enter into the Divine Beast Record, you’re still nothing.”

“Are you prepared?”

When the old man finished speaking, he stared at Mu Chen.

Mu Chen deeply inhaled a mouthful of air as his figure moved and retreated. Thereafter, he stood on the horizon and said with a solemn voice, “Senior, please grant me your teachings!”

A majestic Spiritual Energy rippled out of his body as the pitch-black flames looked similar to black smoke, soared up into the horizon and could be seen clearly within a hundred miles.

“His Spiritual Energy has merged with the Nine Nether Flames?” the bald old man stared at the surrounding blazing Spiritual Energy as a trace of astonishment flashed though his eyes.

He waved his sleeve and his skinny hands extended out and lightly clenched.

Boom!

An indescribable pressure swept out from his body. Under this demeanor, the entire space looked as though it had trembled as a deep cry resounded.

Rumble!

A huge flowing lightning river was suddenly soaring over this plain and was absorbed by the bald old man. Thereafter, it looked similar to a silver dragon as it spiraled above his head.

Mu Chen’s face slightly changed at the sight of this. His heart trembled, the fearsome lightning energy in the lightning river was sufficient to crush mountains. However, it was easily lifted by this bald old man. This strength was, indeed, indescribable.

“Boom!”

The bald old man’s huge hand waved, the lightning river instantly soared into the horizon and, as it issued a rumbling sound, it rippled in this space. The lightning surged like an electric dragon, and with an unparalleled demeanor, it headed towards Mu Chen with an irresistible manner.

Mu Chen raised his head and traces of astonishment was shown within his eyes as he looked at the lightning river that was charging at him. He could clearly sense that the space around him was sealed at this moment.

There was no possibility that he could avoid this fearsome offense.

This bald old man was clearly not intending to go easy on Mu Chen.

Mu Chen clenched his teeth as both of his palms came together. The veins on his arm twitched and, shortly after, a vicious look appeared within his eyes. Since he couldn’t escape, then he could only go all out!

Boom!

The violent Spiritual Energy instantly poured out of Mu Chen’s body without any restraints. He suddenly sat down in the air and both of his hands were forming signs at lightning speed.

Onom!

There was the sound of an ancient bell ringing on this horizon. As the black lights came together, a huge Nine-layered Pagoda appeared and shrouded Mu Chen within.

Among all of Mu Chen’s methods, the defense of the Nine-layered Pagoda was clearly the most fearsome. If he wanted to withstand the horrifying attack of the bald old man, the only thing he could do was to rely on the Nine-layered Pagoda.

“This is…”

The bald old man raised his head and stared at the huge Nine-layered Pagoda up in the sky. His brows slightly knitted together as his muddy eyes flashed as thoughts crossed his mind.

Boom!

The lightning river did not have the slightest pause when the Nine-layered Pagoda appeared. As the lightning river surged, in the next instant, it heavily clashed against the Nine-layered Pagoda with undeniable pressure.
