Chapter 1540 - Receiving the Legacy (2/2)

An indescribable sense of oppression emanated from the figure. It was similar to that of the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor. This was the first person on the Great Thousand World's Heaven's Declaration List, the Immortal Emperor. The Undying Lord knelt respectfully in front of the Immortal Emperor, and kowtowed respectfully as if he were kneeling down to his forefathers.

Mu Chen looked at the Immortal Emperor's physical body solemnly and then bowed respectfully to him as well. Whether it was the Immortal Emperor's strength, or his righteous act of abandoning his life to seal the Heavenly Evil Deity for the Great Thousand World's survival, he deserved such respect from Mu Chen.

”It's an Immortal Body, indeed. Even after tens of thousands of years, it's still unscathed.” Mu Chen stared at the Immortal Emperor's flesh body and sighed. In his perception, it was impossible to injure this body before his eyes, even if a later-stage Divine Grade attacked it with all their strength.

Above all, he was able to sense how vast the power of spiritual energy was in this flesh, as it contained immortality. Otherwise, it could not have survived for tens of thousands of years.

The Undying Lord stood up. He looked at the Immortal Emperor's flesh body and whispered, ”Lord Mu, prepare and get ready.” Mu Chen nodded, and with a flash, appeared before the Immortal Emperor. He then sat down in front of it with two hands raised. A force of attraction emanated as the Immortal Emperor mirrored his actions.

”Elder, I'm sorry for the offense.” Mu Chen took a deep breath, and his face became extremely solemn because it was not a simple thing to receive the Immortal Emperor's spiritual energy. The latter was so powerful, even a Divine Grade would not dare to receive such a vast spiritual power, let alone a God Grade like him. If things went wrong, his body would explode.

This time, however, Mu Chen could not back down. If he wanted to be on the Heaven's Declaration List in five years, he must seize this opportunity of a lifetime. To get it, one had to pay the price. If he didn't dare to try it, it would be an utter waste. These thoughts tumbled in his heart, and Mu Chen no longer hesitated. Stretching out his palms, he gently touched his palms together with the Immortal Emperor's.

Boom!

At the moment of contact, Mu Chen's pupils contracted abruptly as he felt an indescribable spiritual force. It was as if hundreds of millions of tons of seawater had poured out, charging ruthlessly straight into his body.

Whoosh!

At that moment, the skin on Mu Chen's arms tore apart as blood gushed out. The flesh and blood in his body shook madly, and at the same time, began to rapidly absorb the incoming spiritual energy.

Over tens of thousands of years, this spiritual energy had lost the will it once contained and had become extremely pure. However, there was still immortality in it. If an ordinary Heavenly Sovereign absorbed it, then the only possibility was that the spiritual power inside the body would be completely assimilated, and he would be unable to activate his own spiritual energy, resulting in a backlash.

Fortunately, Mu Chen had cultivated the Primordial Immortal Body, so his spiritual energy was the same in nature as the Immortal Emperor's. This allowed him to absorb the vast amount of spiritual energy flowing into his body.

Boom! Boom!

Mu Chen's body constantly emitted sounds like the rumble of thunder. Within a few seconds, Mu Chen was a bloodied man. He looked extremely tortured as his flesh was brutally torn apart by the rampaging spiritual energy. Fortunately, he had a Divine Grade physical body and had a powerful ability to recover. It enabled him to quickly repair his broken body.

The pain surged like a tumultuous tide, but it was hard to shake Mu Chen's sheer persistence and tenacity. He gritted his teeth, stabilized his mind, and did not let himself be lost in the vastness of spiritual energy oppression.

On the altar, the Undying Lord was struck back by the constantly emanating spiritual power, so he finally withdrew from the altar's scope. He looked gravely at the altar, where a great spiritual storm had formed. At the center of the storm was Mu Chen and Immortal Emperor's flesh body.

Even a later-stage Divine Grade like him was shocked at the burst of spiritual strength. He squinted slightly, looking at Mu Chen's trembling body. He could imagine that Mu Chen was suffering unspeakable agony under the impact of that vast spiritual power. However, in the time of pain, the Undying Lord could also feel that the spiritual fluctuations emanating from Mu Chen were slowly but steadily growing stronger. It was not impossible to break through to Divine Grade, as long as he could persist.

”Lord Mu, you must succeed. Five years from now, the fate of the Great Thousand World will fall on you…”
