The Great Ruler

Chapter 791 - Dragon-Phoenix Physique

Roar!

A dragon roar and phoenix cry that seemed to have originated from the primordial times resounded from far away, penetrating through space as they rang out in Mu Chen’s mind. Under the dragon roar and phoenix cry, the blood in his body started to boil.

A dazzling golden light spread out from the centre of Mu Chen’s brows. In just an instant, it had spread throughout every single corner of Mu Chen’s body. As the golden light was fusing with his blood and flesh, an intense burning pain immediately spread out.

That intense pain had directly caused Mu Chen’s face to distort. His body was constantly trembling as traces of blood oozed from his pores.

That small drip of dark-gold blood essence was extremely overbearing. It was trying to incinerate all the blood in Mu Chen’s body.

However, that scene was clearly not what Mu Chen wanted to see, he wanted to fuse them and not incinerate one of them. Because if his blood was truly incinerated, it would give him a heavy injury. At that time, when the blood essence of the dragon and phoenix becomes the main instead of a sub, his body might be destroyed.

“Since you’ve entered my body, I don’t care what you are, but behave!” Mu Chen clenched his teeth as his heart tensed up. The Spiritual Energy in his body revolved. It was so much so that even the flow of blood in his body had accelerated.

He knew that he absolutely could not cower at this moment. No matter how overbearing the blood essence of the dragon and phoenix was, he couldn’t allow them to incinerate his blood.

Traces of golden light shone in his blood and flesh, dying them gold. But under Mu Chen’s control, the blood in his body had retaliated under the help of his Spiritual Energy, suppressing that golden light.

The two started to fight in his body. Every single clash would cause his body to tremble, along with intense pain. It nearly made Mu Chen unable to bear it any longer and almost howled out. That’s because the pain was comparable to slicing his flesh. It was extremely unbearable.

But he already could not retreat at this moment.

If he wanted to form the Dragon-Phoenix Physique, he naturally had to face great danger as well.

Looking from outside Mu Chen’s body, one would notice that his body was emitting blood-red and golden colours. The two colours constantly came into contact as they attempted to devour the other party. Under the two lights, Mu Chen’s distorted face was especially sinister at this moment.

Although the blood essence of the dragon and phoenix was overbearing, it was weak by itself alone. Hence, this fight lasted for a long while, before the golden light retreated. Just as Mu Chen silently felt relieved, the Dragon-Phoenix Wheel above him started to shine with golden light and another drop of dragon-phoenix blood essence dropped onto the centre of his brows.

“Bastard!”

Mu Chen only had the time to curse in his heart, before he was covered with intense pain that surged over. He could only guard his mind and not allow his conscious to scatter by the intense pain.

Therefore, Mu Chen had a wonderful taste of living death. Under his senses, his entire body was cut open from the fight. That feeling was as if his body was sliced with blades over and over again.

He did not know how long the fight lasted, he only knew that he had lost his senses in the end and only had a trace of will that guarded his mind so that his consciousness wouldn’t be destroyed.

However, just when Mu Chen’s consciousness was in a blurry state, he did not know that along with every single fight in his body, there would be dark-golden blood traces that could be found throughout his body, outside his bones. A terrifying vitality was emitted as they wiggled.

On the surface of Mu Chen’s skin, there was a dark-gold lustre moving about. Faintly, there seem to be densely packed dark-golden scales appearing on his skin.

There was a drastic change throughout his body at this moment.

The water level of this super Dragon-Phoenix Pool was constantly lowering. The initially dazzling golden light had become much darker. Clearly, it was caused by having a large amount of dragon and phoenix’s blood essences being absorbed by Mu Chen.

Cai Xiao stood outside the Dragon-Phoenix Pool, looking at the water level that was constantly descending. Vaguely, Mu Chen’s figure, which sat at the bottom of it, could be seen.

However, judging from the looks of it, it seemed like it had yet to end.

“The blood essences in this Dragon-Phoenix Pool can’t support the birth of the Dragon-Phoenix Physique.” Cai Xiao murmured to herself as she lightly frowned. She briefly pondered, before she grasped her hand and a Dragon-Phoenix Fruit with a dragon and phoenix intertwining on it appeared with a flash. A dazzling golden light burst out from it, like a small sun, filled with energy that could make others drool.

The amount of dragon and phoenix blood essences required for the forming of the Dragon-Phoenix Physique had exceeded Cai Xiao’s expectations. If this continued, Mu Chen might not reach the most perfect state. Because the moment the blood essences of the dragon and phoenix run out, his cultivation would come to a stop. If he lost this chance, it wouldn’t be easy for him to reach that step anymore.

Therefore, Cai Xiao had decisively taken out a Dragon-Phoenix Fruit.

“That fellow is actually benefiting so cheaply.”

Cai Xiao cast a glance at Mu Chen, who sat at the bottom of the pool, then lightly flung her lips. She flicked her finger and the Dragon-Phoenix Fruit instantly turned into a golden beam of light as it shot into the Dragon-Phoenix Wheel that was above Mu Chen.

The moment the Dragon-Phoenix Fruit entered the Dragon-Phoenix Wheel, a dazzling golden light shot out in every direction. A golden pillar of light that was roughly a hundred feet in size soared, it could be clearly seen from anywhere within a thousand miles.

Roar!

An ancient draconic roar and phoenix cry rang out from the huge pillar of light that resonated between the heavens and earth. It was as if there was a True Dragon and Phoenix contained in that pillar of light.

The source of the golden pillar of light was Mu Chen, who was quietly seated. The dark-gold dragon and phoenix blood essence poured down like a small stream as it enveloped his entire body.

Sizzle! Sizzle!

As the Dragon-Phoenix blood essences poured down, Mu Chen’s skin looked like it was burning as an ear-piercing sizzling sound was being emitted. That feeling was as if the Blood Essences of the Dragon-Phoenix weren’t blood essences but magma that would soon melt metal...

The surface of Mu Chen’s body violently trembled under the envelopment of the Dragon-Phoenix’s Blood Essences, enduring that endless pain with a deep roar. His fists violently smashed on the ground, which caused cracks to appear at the bottom of this Dragon-Phoenix Pool.

Cai Xiao closely looked at that trembling figure and couldn’t help clenching her fists. She was prepared to forcefully drag Mu Chen out from that cultivation state.

Because if this situation continued, the instant Mu Chen couldn’t endure it anymore, then there was a high possibility that his body would be melted by the Dragon-Phoenix Blood Essences.

They had all underestimated how tyrannical the blood essences of the True Dragon and Phoenix.

“Endure it.” Cai Xiao spoke with a low voice. If she forcefully dragged Mu Chen out from his cultivation state, then all of his effort from earlier would have been in vain, they would have even wasted a Dragon-Phoenix Fruit.

This disadvantageous plan could only be used if there was an absolute need.

The golden pillar of light soared into the clouds and the dazzling golden light lasted for a few hours, but there still wasn’t any sign of it weakening. However, as time passed, the violent smashing noise had also stopped. Mu Chen’s body, which was violently trembling, was gradually calming down.

Seeing no movements from Mu Chen, Cai Xiao couldn’t help having a change in her expression. Because she sensed that, at this moment, Mu Chen’s aura was swiftly weakening.

“Failed?”

Cai Xiao’s gaze changed as she clenched her teeth, then tapped her foot. She had directly appeared at the bottom of the pool and was about to pull Mu Chen out from the golden light.

“N...o...don’t...”

However, just when Cai Xiao was about to bring Mu Chen out from the golden light, an extremely hoarse voice faintly resounded from within.

Cai Xiao’s hand froze in the air, her gaze fixed on the dazzling golden pillar of light. In the end, she could only gently stomp her foot and retracted her hand. Mu Chen’s tenacity had far exceeded her expectations.

The golden light was still dazzling, but as time passed, it finally started to weaken. The hundred-foot light pillar had also shrunk down, bit by bit, turning into a fine ray of light as it disappeared.

When the light disappeared, the situation at the bottom of the pool became clear. Directing her gaze over, Cai Xiao saw a human figure covered in golden crystals. That figure was like a fly in amber, his body was frozen, along with his distorted facial expression. The vitality had completely disappeared.

Cai Xiao fixed her gaze on the figure in the layer of golden crystals. Even she couldn’t sense Mu Chen’s aura at this moment. Therefore, she couldn’t tell if Mu Chen had succeeded or failed...

Crack!

However, just when Cai Xiao couldn’t endure the unease in her heart anymore and was about to break the layer of crystals, a crack suddenly appeared on the surface of the crystal, which swiftly spread out. In a few breaths’ time, the crack had covered the whole surface of the crystal...

In the crystal, at this moment, Mu Chen’s tightly shut eyes lightly trembled, before gradually opening them under Cai Xiao’s rejoicing gaze.

Boom!

A dazzling golden light shot out from Mu Chen’s eyes as he opened them. With a boom, the layers of golden crystal exploded, turning into golden light and shot out in every direction.

As the golden light burst out, a figure had also soared into the sky as he howled towards the heavens. His howl actually contained a dragon roar and phoenix cry resounding along with it. As the golden light spread out, a huge dragon and phoenix figure formed behind him that was faintly visible. A terrifying oppressive pressure had also spread out in this region. action

That golden figure stood on the sky, while being accompanied by a dragon and phoenix. He looked like a deity, looking peerlessly domineering.
