Boom!

From the moment the real Dragon and Phoenix opened their tightly shut eyes, a majestic Dragon’s roar and Phoenix’s cry reverberated in Nine Nether and the two others’ ears. They were sitting cross-legged in front of Mu Chen, and at that moment, their eyes suddenly widened as they sensed an extremely terrible pressure awakening in Mu Chen.

It was the oppressive aura emanating from the real Dragon and Phoenix.

However, this oppressive aura was more vast and powerful than before.

Ink Blade and Ink Ring felt the pressure most intensely because they possessed the Phoenix Clan’s bloodline, and the real Phoenix was the most legitimate ruler of the Phoenix Clan.

Therefore, when the massive real Phoenix awoke in Mu Chen’s body, both of them trembled a little. They even had the impression that the version of Mu Chen now in front of them was not a human being, but rather a superior of the Phoenix Clan, so they were in awe.

“How could he have such a powerful oppression of the real Phoenix?” The indifference on Ink Blade’s face had disappeared long ago. He looked at Mu Chen, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed. Few people possessed such a powerful oppression of the real Phoenix, even within the Phoenix Clan, and now it had appeared in Mu Chen, which made it impossible for the others to believe.

Nine Nether also inhaled a deep breath as a touch of shock flashed in her eyes. She knew that Mu Chen had cultivated the Dragon-Phoenix Scripture, however, the hint of oppression of the real Phoenix that Mu Chen had possessed before, although amazing, had been too thin. Other than being able to surprise people and being flashy, it did not have much practical use.

However, this time, the oppression of the real Phoenix that erupted from Mu Chen was stronger. Even Divine Beasts who possessed the bloodline of the Phoenix Clan like they did would tremble in the face of such pressure, and their own strength would be suppressed.

That kind of suppression could not be avoided unless they had the absolute strength to be immune to such a terrifying pressure. This suppression came from the bloodline and the respectable honor of the real Phoenix.

Buzz.

As Nine Nether and the other two were shocked, the Symbol of the Real Dragon and Phoenix on Mu Chen’s body suddenly erupted with brilliant golden light, and at the same time, a terrible suction force burst out.

This suction did not target Nine Nether and the other two. Instead, it locked onto the Blood Spirit Soil fetus that dripped and rotated between them, and then, with a violent tremor, two streams of blood surged out of it.

The two blood-colored torrents were about ten feet long and contained an extremely large amount of strength and blood. They roared and were devoured entirely by the Symbol of the Real Dragon and Phoenix.

They had had to practice refinement for a long time before they could absorb the strength and blood from the Blood Spirit Soil fetus. But now, the Symbol of the Real Dragon and Phoenix on Mu Chen’s body had gulped it down like a whale swallowing its prey.

That rate of absorption made many envious, indeed.

When Ink Ring saw that the Symbol of the Real Dragon and Phoenix, which had swallowed a wave of blood and strength, showed signs of an erupting absorption force again, she hurriedly exclaimed, “Let’s absorb it quickly, too!”

Although this Blood Spirit Soil fetus contained a huge amount of strength and blood, no matter how large it was, it could not withstand the massive absorption of the Symbol of the Real Dragon and Phoenix. Thus, if they did not grasp the opportunity, there would be nothing left for them.

Nine Nether and Ink Blade quickly nodded. They dared not speak as they focused wholeheartedly, once again extracting wisps of strength and blood from the Blood Spirit Soil fetus and quickly absorbing it.

While they were refining again, the Symbol of the Real Dragon and Phoenix on Mu Chen’s body unexpectedly began to erupt again with terrible suction, and immediately, two red rainbows emerged from the Blood Spirit Soil fetus.

Nine Nether and the other two looked at the two red streams, which were about ten feet long, and then looked at their own pathetic wisps of absorption. The corners of their mouths twitched uncontrollably…

However, they knew that this was just the beginning.

In the next hour, the Symbol of the Real Dragon and Phoenix on Mu Chen’s body had hardly slowed its wild, immense suction, and the red rainbows, which contained a powerful force of blood and strength, were continuously infused into his body.

In this massive absorption, the original purple and gold colors of the Symbol of the Real Dragon and Phoenix were gradually infused with a red color, and the Symbol of the Real Dragon grew larger. Its winding body was vigorous and powerful, and its dragon scales appeared as though they were cast from purple gold and were indestructible.

The Symbol of the Real Phoenix became more distinct, and the Phoenix wings that had previously been closed began to open.

However, the Real Dragon and Phoenix’s eyes did not completely open again. They were still slightly open, but even so, the oppression that emanated from the Real Dragon and Phoenix was still a shock to Nine Nether and the other two.

At this moment, if Mu Chen were to impersonate a member from the Dragon Clan or Phoenix Clan, other than being unable to show the Divine Beast form, he would really fool a lot of people.

Crack.

After so much absorption, the Blood Spirit Soil fetus dripping and spinning in their midst finally showed signs of exhaustion, and a tiny crack began to appear on its surface.

Looking at the crack, Nine Nether and the other two shook their heads helplessly. Normally, this Blood Spirit Soil fetus would be enough for the four of them to absorb for a few days. However, because of Mu Chen’s presence, the Blood Spirit Soil fetus was almost exhausted within just half a day.
