Above the huge stone pillar, the stiffness on the stony body was quickly subsiding. After a few breaths, a man wearing a black shirt appeared, and in his hand was a black pike. There seemed to be ancient runes emerging at the tip of the pike. The light emitted from the man’s body made the whole space quake.

He stood above the stone pillar quietly. Although he did not utter a single word, his strong aura was able to terrorize everyone around. Even Mu Chen felt the pressure from the aura, and his eyes were twitching. Is this the power of the Disciple of the Golden Dragon? It was as strong as Mu Chen had expected. According to Mu Chen’s estimate, he had achieved Complete Grade Nine. That meant, if he improved further, he would eventually become a Grade Nine Sovereign!

Mu Chen’s face turned grim as he slowly tightened his fist. He could feel his pores were closed, his skin tight. His body was in an extremely alert state. This Disciple of the Golden Dragon in front of him was a real threat.

A Complete Grade Nine… Mu Chen sighed. Facing an opponent this strong was no easy feat, even with his current ability. Fortunately, he still had some tricks up his sleeve.

It’s time to try the Nine Dragon Devouring Fairy Array… Mu Chen’s eyes were flashing having thought about this. Although the Nine Dragon Devouring Fairy Array was not complete, it was still an Ancestral Master-level array. If he could arrange the array, he could most likely defeat a Complete Grade Nine.

Nonetheless, it was not easy to arrange the spiritual array. Even after many attempts over a long period of time, he had not succeeded even once in arranging the spiritual array.

Still, during these attempts, Mu Chen had gradually addressed his defects and improved his understanding of the Nine Dragon Devouring Fairy Array. According to his estimate, once he could command a stronger inner Spiritual Energy, he could most likely succeed in arranging this incomplete spiritual array.

There was only one way to improve Spiritual Energy, and that was to break through his own limits and increase his level. For others, they might need to find some opportunity to accumulate experience. For Mu Chen, this was just a piece of cake.

This was because back then, when Mu Chen was in the Space of the God Sea, he already had the ability to become a Grade Nine Sovereign. However, he voluntarily suppressed his own power, as he wanted to stabilize his foundation.

But now… was obviously the time for Mu Chen to shine.

With his face as calm as still water, he took a deep breath and waved his sleeve. After that, a Sovereign Spiritual Liquid Torrent emerged. It surrounded Mu Chen, and suddenly, that huge space was filled with another strong Spiritual Energy.

White mist surrounded his nose, and as he inhaled, the Sovereign Spiritual Liquid Torrent dispersed and quickly entered his body like a stream of water. The space behind Mu Chen was distorted, and the Sovereign Sea was looming. Vaguely, people could see that the sky was torn apart, and many torrents fell down from the sky into the big sea, eventually converting themselves into great Spiritual Energy.

Mu Chen had chosen to have his great breakthrough right here, right now!

On the other hand, the Disciple of the Golden Dragon, who was slowly awakening on the stone pillar, was still holding his black pike. His eyes were unmoved. Since he did not sense any fighting intent from Mu Chen, he did not initiate an attack.

It was worth noting that this Dragon Entrance Gate was created by the Ancient Celestial Palace to test a disciple’s potential. Therefore, if any disciple chose to break through there, according to convention, the Dragon Entrance Gate would not disturb him, but would protect him instead. Mu Chen well knew about this, and thus he chose to break through there.

Time passed by quickly in that space, and the Sovereign Spiritual Liquid Torrents were gradually subsiding as the Spiritual Energy contained therein was extracted and absorbed by Mu Chen.

The sea level of the Sovereign Sea behind him rose greatly, and the sea water formed by the Spiritual Energy was deeper in color. As the waves rolled over, an overwhelming Spiritual Energy exploded. The spiritual pressure emerging from Mu Chen’s body was growing fast.

After around ten minutes, the last drop of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid surrounding Mu Chen was absorbed into his body, and the atmosphere was serene once again. Mu Chen stood still like a huge rock. As the Sovereign Sea behind him subsided, he was now as calm as a deep pool. However, all this was only the calm before the storm. After a few breaths, Mu Chen suddenly opened his eyes.

Bang!

A stream of Spiritual Light burst out from Mu Chen’s eyes, and the terrorizing Spiritual Energy dispersed, quaking the void. A loud sound was produced, shaking the entire space like deafening peals of thunder. A strong spiritual pressure surrounding Mu Chen gradually dispersed.

Mu Chen tightened his fist as he felt the strong Spiritual Energy weltering inside his body like torrents of water. A satisfied smile was on his face. After suppressing the inner Spiritual Energy for a few months, he had finally completed the breakthrough and had become a real Grade Nine Sovereign!

Although for many it was only a little progress, for Mu Chen, this was a great improvement. This was because he could use his greatest skills, such as the incomplete Nine Dragon Devouring Fairy Array, only after he became a Grade Nine Sovereign.
