“How was it?” Nine Nether asked Mu Chen.

They were standing on the peak of the mountain, and Nine Nether had questioned Mu Chen the moment he opened his eyes. She knew that this place was really dangerous and that It must not be easy for him.

Sensing everyone’s attention on him, Mu Chen gave a smile and said softly, “There are about 18 Grade Eight Beast Spirits and one Grade Nine Beast Spirit in the valley.”

Everyone present drew in a collective cold breath upon hearing Mu Chen’s reply. They were expecting Grade Eight Beast Spirits, but were surprised to hear of a Grade Nine Beast Spirit! After all, a Grade Nine Beast Spirit was equivalent to a Grade Nine Sovereign, and any Grade Nine Sovereign would be sufficient to elect for a high position and become one of the top elites in the clan!

Nine Nether looked solemn, as she knew this was serious. Currently, only three princes in the entire Daluo Territory had reached the level of Grade Nine Sovereign.

“I intend to go in again,” Mu Chen said, stunning the onlookers again, before they had yet to recover from their initial shock.

Even Nine Nether looked at Mu Chen in shock, as she was unsure why he was being so reckless. Even if they gathered the rest of the elite teams, the lineup inside the valley could kill every one of them in a split second, let alone a team of their inferiors!

Mu Chen looked at the dumbfounded people and said, “You don’t have to follow me. I can do it alone.”

Han Shan and the rest looked at each other, unsure of what to say. Eventually, Nine Nether asked, “Do you want to use the Heart of the Thunder-Devouring Beast?”

Even though his ability could not be underestimated, unless Mu Chen had a powerful army behind him, so that he could make use of his ability as a war troop dispatcher, he could not win against such an impressive lineup that awaited in the valley. This was why Nine Nether had assumed that Mu Chen intended to use the Heart of the Thunder-Devouring Beast.

“But, once you use your Heart of the Thunder-Devouring Beast, Bai Ming from the Phoenix Clan would have no further restraints,” said Han Shan, obviously worried.

After all, Bai Ming would not be easy to deal with. In fact, given Bai Ming’s character, once the Heart of the Thunder-Devouring Beast was gone, he would not let Mu Chen escape!

Mu Chen simply smiled. Then looked at the valley, which was oozing dead-gas. He then said, “Previously, I was just trying to scare Bai Ming away with the Heart of the Thunder-Devouring Beast. But, it is still not the right time for me to use it yet.”

Mu Chen sounded calm, confidence filling his voice. Bai Ming was indeed strong, but Mu Chen predicted that he only possessed the strength of a Grade Eight Sovereign. However, he was cunning and ruthless, and he had a Quasi-Divine Artifact. As such, his real battle capability far surpassed any Grade Eight Beast Spirits.

But, even despite these strengths of Bai Ming, Mu Chen refused to be pushed around. If they were to face each other in battle, Mu Chen was confident that he would not let the other party succeed.

Moreover, Mu Chen was now at the Peak of Grade Six Sovereign, marking another step towards his attaining the Grade Seven Sovereign level. Under normal circumstances, he might need almost a month of nonstop cultivation before he could try to make a breakthrough to Grade Seven Sovereign. But now, he had The Nine Rotation Lotus!

Although the lotus would not be of much use when one tried to breakthrough to an Earthly Sovereign, it contained a huge amount of pure spiritual aura from the world. So, if he swallowed it, Mu Chen would become a true Grade Seven Sovereign!

Once he reached Grade Seven Sovereign, his combat strength would also surge. Till then, he was determined to remain fearless in the face of Bai Ming, even without the Heart of the Thunder-Devouring Beast!

Nine Nether and the rest did not continue their speeches, as they knew that Mu Chen had already made up his mind. They also knew the power of the Heart of the Thunder-Devouring Beast. Even though the beast spirits in the valley were mighty, they would not be able to withstand a single blast from it.

“Be careful then. We’ll make a move first.” Nine Nether nodded her head.

“Keep a lookout in this area for me,” said Mu Chen.

Nine Nether nodded again in agreement. She then turned around and flit away. Han Shan and the rest were quite curious about Mu Chen’s plan, but they did not ask him for specifics. Eventually, followed behind Nine Nether.

Mu Chen’s eyes followed their retreating figures. When they had all finally disappeared, he turned to gaze at the valley. He then took a deep breath and clenched his fist. As he did so, the silver-colored heart, blinking with thunder lights, could be seen within his palm.

“I’m relying on you…” Mu Chen murmured. He made a quick move and beamed out into the light. He then headed straight towards the valley, which was completely surrounded by death-gas.

As Mu Chen approached the valley, the death gas grew stronger and stronger. Black death-clouds loomed over the area, while black rain drizzled upon the ground. The entire land was shrouded in an icy coldness.

As the cold temperatures shocked him, the spiritual energy in Mu Chen’s body slowed down. The cold lingered on his body’s surface, as if it was going to enter and erode his flesh.

Mu Chen did not dare let down his guard in such a situation, immediately circulating his Dragon-Phoenix Body. Suddenly, a golden light emitted from his body and the sound of the dragon and phoenix rang out. The death-gas which was trying to enter his body, then dissipated all at once.
