Chapter 1077: Half-Step to Ninth Grade Sovereign

Rumble!

The waves were churning amid the boundless, stormy sea. Their noise was deafening, shocking everyone.

Amid the heavy waves, Mu Chen's silhouette was like a motionless rock. Even if the huge waves enveloped him, they still could not shake him.

Although it surrounded him, his spiritual energy was suppressed, so it did not have spill over in the slightest. However, the surface of his skin glowed with spots of golden light.

As the tides kept rolling in, Mu Chen's eyes, which had been closed for a whole year, finally opened slowly.

Boom!

His dark eyes suddenly became a bright gold color, as if the essence of the golden light had mixed with an indescribably strong spiritual energy, then surged out of Mu Chen's eyes!

The golden light in Mu Chen's eyes continued to surge. If one observed his body carefully, they could see that it was quivering, and he had his fists clenched. On his arms, his veins wriggled like a dragon, and every time they did, it seemed that all of the terrible forces were radiating outward, causing even the surrounding air to vibrate and buzz.

Mu Chen's heart was excited, as he sensed that the Sovereign Sea within his body was majestic and vast, reaching its optimal extent. It was so strong, in fact, if he continued to practice, even his Sovereign Sea would be unable to withstand it and explode directly!

Every meridian point in his body contained the ultimate spiritual power! At this point, if someone suddenly attacked him, it could completely destroy the control that Mu Chen had over his spiritual energy, which was reaching its limit.

Hence, when that time came, the spiritual power inside his body would roar out. As such, even if he had a Dragon-Phoenix Body, it would explode under that violent storm of spiritual energy, thus reducing him to ashes.

Now, he was basically like a volcano that was about to explode. However, once he could learn to withstand this force, his gains would be envied by countless people.

Almost there...

Feeling the roaring spirit of his body, Mu Chen murmured in his heart, then without hesitation, his face became grave and his hands conjured seals in front of him.

Crash!

At the instant that the seals formed, Mu Chen's body seemed to vibrate violently and his skin suddenly turned red. Even blood began dripping through his pores!

However, Mu Chen ignored all of these things, because within his body, circumstances were even more terrible! The majestic spiritual power in the Sovereign Sea had exploded, causing the torrents in his body to surge forth like an enraged dragon. Wherever it passed, the meridians were distorted!

His flesh and blood stung in pain, and even his blood was forced to seep out of his body. The terrible force was destroying Mu Chen from the inside out!

An indescribable pain swept through his body, but his glance remained still, as he had made preparations for this scary outcome. Hence, he had a plan to try to suppress his spiritual energy and break through it.

According to his estimate, two years of cultivation and a daily, normal practice would only allow him to break through to the Eighth Grade Sovereign. After all, he was not able to obtain the Inherited Blood Essence of the Undying Bird like Nine Nether did. Thus, it was impossible for him to easily jump two levels.

After all, humans and Divine Beasts were different, as human beings depended on steady practice to progress, while Divine Beasts, although they normally didn't improve much in a thousand days, once they made progress, it was fast and vast, like a thousand miles of improvement!

In the past, Nine Nether's strength had surpassed Mu Chen's, but he had slowly caught up to her. Currently, however, Nine Nether's strength had again quickly progressed.

Therefore, if Mu Chen wanted to use this opportunity to enhance his power as much as possible, he had to take other measures, such as the absorption of spiritual energy, in order to grow from thin to thick. However, this method also had its drawbacks, one of which was that the suppression of the spiritual power was too strong.

As such, he may not be able to bear it, which would lead to the danger of his destruction! However, even in the face of this danger, Mu Chen did not hesitate to choose this path.

Boom! Crash!

His eyes grew increasingly redder, as the vast expanse of spiritual power collided within his body. A bit later, blood trickled down from the corners of his eyes, as if he was crying tears of blood.

While standing on the rocky island, Nine Nether looked at the scene nervously, knowing that the breakthrough in Mu Chen had reached its most critical moment. She was also fretting over the fact that his two years of cultivation would not only be for naught, but even lead to his own self-destruction, if he failed at this moment.
