Whoosh!
The blood pearl soared across the sky and charged straight at Xue Yi. However, his expression twisted dramatically as he retreated in a frenzy. At that moment, he felt that he had lost his bond with the Acheron Blood Sea. Therefore, although the blood pearl contained his Acheron Blood Sea, he was unable to control it. The Acheron Blood Sea no longer recognized him as its master.
The blood pearl was like an extremely dangerous bomb. When it made contact, a terrifying force would erupt.
The Acheron Blood Sea was very corrosive to a Sovereign Celestial Body, and Xue Yi knew this very well. When it was in his hands, it was naturally a sharp weapon, but if it was used as a weapon against him, he would also be afraid of it… and that was happening now.
Facing the blood pearl was like facing a formidable enemy. He could only flounder and retreat amid countless astonished glances, not daring to make contact with it.
Above the Immortal Golden Body, Mu Chen looked at this scene with a calm face. The Acheron Blood Sea was indeed overbearing, and it was also a unique destructive force for the Sovereign Celestial Body. According to his estimate, if he had still been cultivating the Great Solar Undying Body, Xue Yi would have dealt him serious damage. However, his present Sovereign Celestial Body was the Immortal Golden Body, not the Great Solar Undying Body! In terms of ranking, this Sovereign Celestial Body was ranked in the top 15 on the List of 99 Sovereign Celestial Bodies!
Its power was truly formidable.
An immortal aura emanated from the Immortal Golden Body. It could resist all corrosive force, thus it was immune to sinister methods of corrosion and decay such as the Acheron Blood Sea.
The Immortal Golden Body could even swallow the Acheron Blood Sea without dealing damage to itself and compress it into a blood pearl. It could then cover it with Immortal Energy and cut off Xue Yi’s control over the Acheron Blood Sea.
At this time, Mu Chen finally experienced this level of Sovereign Celestial Body with the mysterious ability that was unimaginable for lower-ranked Sovereign Celestial Bodies.
“I’ll let you be the first sacrifice to my Immortal Golden Body,” Mu Chen murmured. This was the first time since he had cultivated the Immortal Golden Body that he had ever truly fought against a Sovereign of the same rank, and he was clearly satisfied with the results.
He looked at the retreating Xue Yi, smiled, and snapped his fingers.
Boom!
Just as the sound spread across the sky, Xue Yi’s pupils shrank violently. The blood pearl’s speed increased as it appeared before him, and then it exploded. In that moment, the sea of blood surged in a frenzy as the waves charged towards the Blood Kasaya Celestial Body.
Xue Yi screamed, and his seals changed as countless beams of blood-red light erupted from the Blood Kasaya Celestial Appearance. The beams of light quickly transformed into blood-red crystal walls, acting as a protective barrier.
Boom! Boom!
The wave of blood bombarded the crystal walls as they corroded and melted, weakening at a swift speed. They finally shattered into pieces, and the Acheron Blood Sea crashed brutally on the Blood Kasaya Celestial Appearance.
Whoosh!
As the waves surged, blood-red fog rose while Xue Yi’s screams of agony rang out.
Buzz!
The Acheron Blood Sea rolled tumultuously as the massive Blood Kasaya Celestial Appearance erupted with powerful spiritual energy. It then charged out of the Blood Sea in a humiliated state as Xue Yi threw out a blood bottle. The blood bottle swept through and absorbed the remnants of the Acheron Blood Sea.
With the eruption of the Acheron Blood Sea, the Immortal Energy in it dissipated so Xue Yi could take it back again. Even so, he was utterly humiliated.
The Blood Kasaya Celestial Body under his feet was dim and had glaring spots of blood that emanated a cold, sinister force. If it were not for Xue Yi and the Acheron Blood Sea’s spiritual energy natures being similar to each other, the blood poison would have dealt severe damage. But even so, his Blood Kasaya Celestial Appearance was also severely weakened, and the original magnificent spiritual light had become a lot dimmer.
Everyone stared at this scene and could not help looking at each other. Who would have thought that Xue Yi’s overbearing attack not only had no effect on Mu Chen, but Mu Chen had actually returned the same attack back at him, humiliating him.
However, many Sovereigns were perceptive and capable. They glanced gravely at the Immortal Golden Body that was a few hundred feet below Mu Chen. At this point, if anyone still thought that this mysterious Sovereign Celestial Body was in this form because of a lack of spiritual power, then that person was an utter fool. To their dismay, however, they were still unable to recognize what kind of Sovereign Celestial Body Mu Chen had.
They looked at Mu Chen standing nonchalantly on the shoulders of the Immortal Golden Body, but they felt that the young man was becoming more and more unfathomable.
Xue Yi glared at Mu Chen, his face pale and sullen. He then glanced at the spot where Xue Tong and Xue Shou were. The two men were also madly attacking the spiritual array and the elite army, both apparently intending to break out as soon as possible.
Seeing their progress, it was clear that the two men had the upper hand, and that his guess was right. Without anyone’s control, an Ancestral Master’s Spiritual Array and an army would not be enough to stop the two Earthly Sovereigns.
At this point, Xue Yi heaved a sigh of relief before glaring at Mu Chen. He then clenched his teeth. No matter what, I must stop Mu Chen here!
Having made the decision in his heart, Xue Yi no longer hesitated. He sat down on the Blood Kasaya Celestial Body’s shoulder, his hands flashed as he conjured seals, and, at the same time, the Celestial Appearance began to conjure his seals, too.
Buzz!
Countless beams of blood-red light suddenly burst out from the Blood Kasaya Celestial Body. Vaguely, there was a chanting of Sanskrit scriptures reverberating between heaven and earth. However, this chanting was not only unable to make people feel at peace, but instead, bloodthirsty desires emerged from people’s hearts.
Xue Yi’s eyes were red, and in the next moment, blood seeped out from his body. With a loud roar, an appalling scene appeared, and the skin on his body fell off.
Buzz!
The red skin fell off, and the Blood Kasaya Celestial Appearance roared. The huge blood Kasaya rose on its body and then merged with the skin, forming a massive red Kasaya made of skin. The Kasaya was engraved with countless blood-red runes and ferocious faces.
The whole world was permeated with a bloody aura.
Xue Yi, who was a bloody mess, looked at Mu Chen with his eyes red, and his hoarse roar rang all over the world, “Sovereign Super Power, Blood Demon Kasaya!”
Whoosh!
The massive skin Kasaya descended like a blood-red curtain, enveloping Mu Chen and the Immortal Golden Body. It then closed as if it were a huge blood-red cloth bag, trapping Mu Chen in numerous layers.
An uproar erupted in the crowd, as some who were knowledgeable were shocked. Xue Yi had risen to fame because of the Blood Demon Kasaya. Being enveloped by the massive Kasaya, many blood demons would arise and turn the trapped prey into blood. However, every time he used such a technique, his own defenses were greatly weakened, so he would not use it unless it was absolutely necessary. But now, in order to trap Mu Chen, he obviously did not care about the cost.
“This time, I’ll see how you can overcome my Blood Kasaya!” When he looked up, crimson filled Mu Chen’s field of vision. He looked at the Blood Kasaya that covered the sun. At this time, the Kasaya was constantly permeated with blood and gradually formed a crimson blood demon that was invisible and intangible. It had the ability to penetrate many defenses, and even spiritual energy could be eroded by it.
“There’s some substantial means this time, but it’s my turn to strike now.” Mu Chen narrowed his eyes and immediately smiled, and then he sat down on the Immortal Golden Body’s shoulder. He conjured seals, and as they changed, the Immortal Golden Body suddenly shined with purple gold light. A mysterious purple gold light resembling a python appeared before it.
This purple gold ray of light was one of its Super Powers, the Immortal God Rune! With a look at the Immortal God Rune, Mu Chen changed his seals once again. The spiritual energy surged out his body like a tidal wave as it flowed into the Immortal Golden Body.
If he wanted to break through the Blood Kasaya, it was obviously not enough to rely on one Immortal God Rune. As Mu Chen continued to infuse his spiritual energy, the purple gold light above the Immortal Golden Body grew increasingly strong. One after another, Immortal God Runes condensed on it.
In the Ancient Celestial Palace, Mu Chen could only condense two Immortal God Runes, but after months of self-acclimation with the Immortal Golden Body, his understanding of its Super Power had clearly deepened. One after another, Immortal God Runes gradually emerged.
As Mu Chen condensed Immortal God Runes, countless blood demons charged towards him. However, numerous rays of purple gold light surged out from the Immortal Golden Body as the Immortal Energy swept through, causing the blood demons to retreat. After a dozen seconds, Mu Chen opened his eyes, and the Immortal God Runes that meandered in front of him had reached six marks!
“Immortal God Runes, Myriad of Change.” Mu Chen’s expression was calm, and with a flick of his finger, the six Immortal God Runes fused together. Purple golden light burst out, and after a few moments, the six runes transformed into a massive Immortal Divine Needle!
Mu Chen looked at the Immortal Divine Needle in front of him and then swung his sleeve. The needle transformed into a ray of purple golden light, rose to the sky, and blasted towards the skin Kasaya.
Mu Chen stared at the Immortal Divine Needle soaring across the sky as he smiled with his hands clasped behind his back.
“I’ve played with you for a long time. It’s now time for you to despair.”
