Chapter 1305 - Throwing Herself Into the Cauldron

Chapter 1305 - Throwing Herself Into the Cauldron

The crimson space was filled with violent, blazing Spiritual Energy. A gigantic silhouette stood up in the crimson world that breathed out heat waves, causing space to distort from the heat.

That huge figure was the spiritual image formed in the Soaring Flame Array, formed with the purest Spiritual Energy between the heavens and earth. The might of it was deep and unfathomable, it could even face a Perfected Earth Sovereign powerhouse.

As heat waves swept out, the temperature in the cave had also risen.

The commotion from Mu Chen’s side had instantly attracted the attention of others, and when they saw the Soaring Flame Array, their faces uncontrollably changed.

“A High Rank Scholar Spiritual Array?!” Wen Qingxuan widened her eyes as she looked at Mu Chen in shock. ‘That Mu Chen is also a High Rank Spiritual Array Scholar!’

‘It’s no wonder why he was so confident in dealing with the two Martial Servants, so he had such a trump card in his hand!’

“That fellow!” Wen Qingxuan clenched her teeth with a complicated gaze. Back in the Spiritual Academy Tournament, Mu Chen was powerful, but he wasn’t that much stronger than her.

After a few years, when they met again, it was still within her acceptable range, despite Mu Chen being a Greater Earth Sovereign now.

But she never imagined that Mu Chen’s cultivation as a Greater Earth Sovereign was merely on the surface, and the strength that he had shown so far was probably just the tip of the iceberg.

Facing Mu Chen, who grew strong so fast, even someone as prideful as Wen Qingxuan was a little depressed. ‘That fellow is too much of a monster...’

In the Blackwater Prison Array that Ling Xi had created, Wu Tong was also looking at Mu Chen with his eyes narrowed. When he saw the Soaring Flame Array, his brows were tightly knitted.

Indeed, this hand from Mu Chen was out of his expectations.

“That brat does have some means, but even if he is a High Rank Spiritual Array Scholar, it’s impossible for him to deal with the two Martial Servants of my Wu Clan!” A cold expression flashed on Wu Tong’s face. The two Martial Servants possessed strength that was in the Perfected Earth Sovereign Realm. So it wouldn’t be easy for Mu Chen to deal with them with just a High Rank Scholar Spiritual Array.

Furthermore, it was only one Martial Servant being trapped, so the second one would surely unleash ferocious attacks upon Mu Chen. At that time, Mu Chen wouldn’t have the energy to control the Spiritual Array, and without anyone controlling the Spiritual Array, the first Martial Servant would be able to easily break free from the Spiritual Array.

At that time, Mu Chen would be clamped between two Martial Servants.

“On the other hand, this Spiritual Array is a little troublesome.” Wu Tong retracted his focus and looked at the Blackwater Prison that trapped him. Although the offensive ability of it wasn’t powerful, it had the effect of a prison. Even if he had executed various means, he also couldn’t break through the Spiritual Array.

This woman seemed to have intended on holding him off.

Wu Tong’s gaze slightly flickered and the corner of his eyes stared at the blazing cauldron with an indescribable flash in his eyes...

...

The flames had formed into a gigantic silhouette that unleashed ferocious attacks at the Martial Servant. As it brandished its fists, torrential flames violently swept towards the Martial Servant.

Without any fear, the Martial Servant strongly charged forth and the two clashed together. The violent impact from the clash had caused the massive cave to violently tremble.

As an intense battle broke out in the Spiritual Array, another Martial Servant charged towards Mu Chen with violent and boundless Spiritual Energy gathering on his fist, causing both of his fists to possess the power to shatter even sky.

The Divine Pagoda blossomed in Mu Chen’s eyes, converting the Spiritual Energy in his body into the crystallised Spiritual Energy and threw a jab forth as well, with countless crystallised runes on his arm.

As the two silhouettes violently clashed, space fluctuated and an intense battle broke out.

But while Mu Chen was being tangled up, the Soaring Flame Array had also gone as Wu Tong had expected. It started to dim and the gigantic silhouette also started to retreat from being forced by the Martial Servant.

But when this scene had just appeared, Mu Chen faintly smiled before forming seals with a single hand. Space fluctuated behind him and a white-robed Mu Chen appeared, then he entered the Soaring Flame Array, before sitting down and started to control it.

When the white-robed Mu Chen entered the Spiritual Array, the Soaring Flame Array immediately burst forth with a myriad scarlet lustre. The gigantic silhouette roared and had instantly turned the tables around, with the Martial Servant on the lower hand instead.

With the Spiritual Array stabilised, Mu Chen finally had the time to focus on the Martial Servant. Through the previous confrontation, he had already realised that although he was using the amplification of the Divine Pagoda, he still had the lower hand when fighting with a Perfected Earth Sovereign.

Regardless of anything, there’s a great gap between a Greater Earth Sovereign and a Perfected Earth Sovereign. If an ordinary Greater Earth Sovereign encountered a Perfected Earth Sovereign, their lives would probably be threatened in just ten moves. However, it wasn’t easy for Mu Chen to confront a Perfected Earth Sovereign to this degree without using his Sovereign Celestial Body.

“Since I can’t beat this Martial Servant alone, then how about two of me?” Mu Chen lightly smiled as he looked at the Martial Servant charging over. His silhouette flashed and a black-robed Mu Chen appeared. The two of them had jabbed forth with boundless Spiritual Energy forming into a hurricane, even the sky had been split apart.

The two fists clashed with that Martial Servant once again. But this time, it wasn’t Mu Chen who retreated, but the Martial Servant who was blown away.

In the distance, Dong Shan, who was fighting with Wen Ziyu, cast his glance over and his face instantly changed. He was shocked to see three identical Mu Chens. He couldn’t understand why Mu Chen could bring out a spiritual image with the same power as his original body.

“Hmph care about yourself first!” While he was distracted, a sneer resounded and a cold sword pierced through space, bolting towards Dong Shan’s chest, and left a wound.

“Brat, you’re courting death!” After being carelessly injured, Dong Shan’s face turned sinister and killing intent surged, forming into a boundless blade luster that enveloped towards Wen Ziyu.

While the violent Spiritual Energy swept in the cave, if this cave wasn’t left behind by the Spirit-Pellet Butterfly Fairy, it would have been completely destroyed from the intense battles.

“Qingxuan, quick! Seize the inheritance!” While Mu Chen was being busy with two Martial Servants, he immediately transmitted his voice over to Wen Qingxuan.

Wen Qingxuan nodded her head and she retreated from the battle circle without any hesitation. She turned into a streak of light and flew towards the cauldron in the deepest part of the cave. She knew that Mu Chen and the rest were trying to buy time for her, so she had to make good use of this time that they’ve bought.

On the other hand, Dong Shan and the rest grew anxious at Wen Qingxuan’s actions. They wanted to stop her, but they were being tied up in their battles.

So without anyone obstructing, Wen Qingxuan swiftly arrived before the cauldron left by the Spirit-Pellet Butterfly Fairy with flames blazing in it. Although there wasn’t any high temperature, it felt terrifying.

This cauldron was left by the Spirit-Pellet Butterfly Fairy. Even if it had been blazing for myriads of years, without a proper method, even a Perfected Earth Sovereign would be reduced to ashes upon coming in contact with it.

Looking at the cauldron, Wen Qingxuan took a deep breath. According to the information that they have gathered, the inheritance of the Spirit-Pellet Butterfly Fairy was in this cauldron, so if she wanted to obtain it, she would have to toss herself into the cauldron.

But clearly, this was also an extremely dangerous matter to do.

A deathly aura emanated from the cauldron, one that could even reduce a Perfected Earth Sovereign into ashes, not to mention a Lesser Earth Sovereign like her...

Wen Qingxuan clenched her teeth and grasped her hand. There was a flash of hesitation through her eyes, but it was swiftly being suppressed by her. Replaced with a decisive expression on her face.

If she wanted to obtain the inheritance, she would naturally have to pay a price. If she didn’t even have the courage to do that, why should she deserve the inheritance of the Spirit-Pellet Butterfly Fairy?

Thinking about it, Wen Qingxuan no longer hesitated and she tapped her feet, then flew out. She turned into a streak of light and tossed herself into the cauldron that blazed with terrifying flames under everyone’s shocked gazes...

Although Mu Chen could guess that it was the method to obtain the inheritance, he still prayed for Wen Qingxuan in his heart. Because with the slightest mistake, she would be reduced to ashes by the flames...

At the same time, the only thing he could do right now was pray in his heart that Wen Qingxuan had made the right choice.

At the same time, Wu Tong, who was in the Blackwater Prison Array, stood up. Looking at Wen Qingxuan tossing herself into the cauldron, there was also a flash of expectations in his eyes.

“Wen Qingxuan, don’t disappoint me...”
