Outside the Body-refining Tower, violent spiritual energy windstorms swirled out from the Escort Platforms. The area quaked, due to the fierce fights that were taking place among the top powers in order to secure their place among the Escort Platforms.

The Escort Platform that Mu Chen was standing on, was the first one to calm down, while the other platforms were still surrounded by chaos. Ever since he had defeated Zong Ho, no one had tried to challenge him.

This was not because the top powers were fearful of Mu Chen, but rather that there were spiritual symbols around his Escort Platform. These spiritual symbols seemed to have merged with the area, causing them to glitter like stars.

As the top powers looked at the spiritual symbols, they were fearful. They wondered how many spiritual arrays Mu Chen had set up on his Escort Platform. At the moment, the Escort Platform was like a Spiritual Fortress, making it seem impossible to defeat Mu Chen.

This was the power of a Spiritual Array Master. Given enough time, he would be able to set up a fortress, which could thwart the attack efforts of any invader.

Mu Chen flicked his fingers, and a spiritual light shot out, merging with the void. He then clapped his hands and set up another Heaven’s Divine Seal Array, which encompassed several other Earth Grade Spiritual Arrays. As they had been combined together, their collective power was astounding! Now, if Zong Huo had the courage to barge in again, Mu Chen had absolute confidence that Zong Hup would not walk out alive!

Mu Chen was finally able to relaxed after he had set up the arrays. He was not afraid of anyone now, as he had absolute confidence that no Grade Seven Sovereign could possibly snatch away the Escort Platform.

After everything was in place, Mu Chen looked at the other nine Escort Platforms. Fierce fights were taking place on each, and spiritual energy burst forth crazily. Different Divine Beasts roared on the platforms, quaking the heavens.

He looked at the Escort Platform that Ink Blade stood upon, then immediately froze. He saw that Ink Blade’s opponent was a pretty lady, who had a pair of red wings on her back. A sharp sword aura whizzed around her, scarring the space with holes.

She was the genius of the Flaming Crane Clan, and her strength had reached the Grade Seven Sovereign level. The sharp sword aura around her was more powerful than even Zong Huo’s. It was apparent that she was a tough opponent!

However, Ink Blade remained calm, even in the face of her powerful attack. Yet, he kept moving backwards, as though he was unable to fight back.

When Mu Chen saw this, he squinted his eyes to watch more carefully. He could clearly feel that the spiritual energy around Ink Blade was surging. He was garnering his spiritual energy.

As Mu Chen stared at Ink Blade, he was suddenly taken aback. Ink Blade had moved toward the edge of the Escort Platform, then suddenly stopped to look nonchalantly at the genius of the Flaming Crane Clan. He then formed a seal with one hand, while the cries of a phoenix resounded from his body.

Boom!

Large red phoenix wings then spread out from his back. As he flapped the wings, dark red flames gathered together to form a sea of fire, then swirled out. As the dark red flames whizzed out, they looked like a phoenix. An indescribable oppression then spread out.

The lady from the Flaming Crane Clan turned pale when she saw this. She then cried out, “Are you not from the Nine Netherbird Clan? How is it that you possess the Phoenix Flame?”

Only the cream of the crop among the Phoenix Clan could cultivate the Phoenix Flame. Its power was so overbearing, it could burn the heavens and heat up the sea! It could even suppress Divine Beasts, including the lady from the Flaming Crane Clan.

Crackle! Crackle!

Dark red flames swirled out, then consumed the sharp sword feathers. The Phoenix Flame then switch directions to target the lady from the Flaming Crane Clan.

As it swirled toward her, the lady turned pale and immediately fled the Escort Platform. As she left, she gave Ink Blade a sharp look.

This lady was decisive. She knew that Ink Blade had the upper-hand, as he had tapped into the power of the Phoenix Flame. With this in mind, she had immediately stopped the fight, not wanting to waste her energy.

Ink Blade remained calm, while watching her leave. He waved his sleeve, causing the dark red Phoenix Flame to swirl back into his mouth.

Those who had planned to challenge Ink Blade froze upon seeing it. They became instantly wary of him.

They saw that he was with the Nine Netherbird Clan, but they were curious as to how he had managed to cultivate the Phoenix Flame.
