Chapter 1010 - Breakthrough!

Boom!

When the Blood War Monarch took a step forth, the sky in this battlefield turned scarlet, as if surges of blood waves were spreading out, covering the horizon. The might from the changes in this region made the four of them feel their scalps going numb as they watched.

They couldn’t figure out why the test of the fifth level was so difficult. That’s because there didn’t seem to be a way to make it through, to begin with!

But no matter how much disbelief they felt, the killing intent around the Blood War Monarch in the sky had already brewed to the limit, before he threw a punch out.

Rumble!

In that instant when he punched forth, the air in the sky seemed to have been instantly repelled. It was so much so that there were even cracks spreading out in space.

A bloody fist that was roughly a few thousand feet wide descended from the heavens!

It was like the fist of a heavenly demon!

Even if that fist did not land, the ground a myriad-foot around them had immediately collapsed and numerous deep abyssal marks spread out beneath their feet.

It was a punch that nearly destroyed this region.

The four of them had a shock on their faces as they looked at the blood fist. Even if the fist was still some distance away from them, the killing intent had practically suppressed them onto the ground.

Boundless Spiritual Energy violently surged from the four of them, resisting the terrifying pressure. But even so, they could feel that their knees were gradually collapsing from the terrifying pressure.

Under these circumstances, the four’s hearts trembled. The punch had yet to land, it was merely the might itself and it had already forced them into such a pathetic state. If it fell, wouldn’t anyone that came in contact with it die?!

At this moment, only then did they realise how reckless their promises were.

This opportunity of obtaining the Divine Ability was truly not something that anyone could enjoy!

But regardless of how much they regretted it in their hearts, it was too late. Thus, the four of them could only clench their teeth. The only thing that they could rejoice about was the fact that the fist from the Blood War Monarch didn’t seem to be aiming their way, but the ground beneath them.

Otherwise, just the might from the punch alone, it was sufficient to turn them into meat mash.

Roar!

Han Shan roared towards the sky and a black light surged around him, vaguely forming into a massive primordial demonic rhino. The demonic rhino strode on the earth, resisting the impact from the huge fist.

A golden light blossomed around Zong Teng and the Gold Winged Roc appeared with a flash. Countless runes soared on the golden wings and shrouded around like a powerful defence.

Mo Feng took a deep breath and phoenix flames surged around him, before a noble aura burst out. As the phoenix flames ignited, they had turned into a huge scarlet phoenix with flames burning on it that raised the temperature between the heavens and earth.

Mo Feng’s Divine Beast form was actually not part of the Nine Netherbird Clan, but a Phoenix of the Phoenix Clan!

Mo Feng initially didn’t want to reveal this but at this moment, if he wanted to withstand that punch, then he could not hold back and had to go all-out.

Sensing Mo Feng, Han Shan and Zong Teng bringing out all of their power, Mu Chen had a solemn expression and did not dare to lag behind. A dazzling light swept out from his body and a draconic roar and phoenix cry resounded from his body. He had pushed the Dragon-Phoenix Physique to the limits, which made him look as if he was made of indestructible gold.

When the four of them had completely summoned out their trump cards, the blood fist that descended down from the horizon charged towards the few thousand feet in space. Instantly, the terrifying might of the fist completely enveloped them.

Boom!

The ground that had torn had collapsed in layers and the surrounding sky swiftly shrank, which was caused by the crater forming from the collapsing ground and the four of them were swiftly leaving the horizon of the ground.

Mo Feng, Han Shan and Zong Teng’s Divine Beast forms had instantly exploded with mournful sounds and their massive bodies had collapsed, before the light swiftly dimmed down.

The three of them also couldn’t bear the might of the fist and they were forced to kneel to one knee. Instantly, even the rocks beneath their feet had been shattered to dust with their faces pale. They violently circulated their Spiritual Energy in an attempt to defend, but they naturally couldn’t stand still.

The Divine Beast images around them had also collapsed onto the ground, issuing roars but it was futile.

The three of them were in a miserable state, but Mu Chen wasn’t any better. He had pushed the Dragon-Phoenix Physique to the limits, and it was as if he was made from gold. But the terrifying fist’s might still caused creaking noises to emit from his bones as if the bones were on the verge of shattering.

Both of his feet were deep in the ground up to his calves with cracks spreading out from his legs.

Outside the Body Refining Pagoda, everyone had a shock on their faces as they looked at the four pathetic figures in the screen. At this moment, they didn’t look any bit like elites.

They knew that it wasn’t because Mu Chen and the rest were weak, but the blood fist that descended from the sky was so powerful to the point that it was somewhat terrifying.

“Such a horrifying attack, how can they withstand it with their cultivation?” Nine Nether’s face changed and couldn’t help saying. The difficulty was basically impossible. Probably only a Ninth Grade Sovereign, at the very least, could withstand that fist and barely live.

Mo Ling’s face was already pale. She was clearly considerably terrified of that horrifying fist.

The experts of the other clans all felt the same and the terrifying difficulty practically did not want to let anyone pass through the fifth level.

That sort of attack wasn’t something that the four of them could withstand at their level.

...

Rumble!

As the blood fist pressed down, the might of the terrifying fist seemed to have been swiftly increasing as it approaches. In the end, it had enveloped the other three to the point that the images of their Divine Beast forms were on the verge of shattering and they clearly couldn’t hold on any longer.

The three’s faces were pale and they felt that they couldn’t move their bodies under the might of the fist. Furthermore, they could sense a realm that was practically forsaking life and seeking death on the fist. Which made them feel that the owner of the fist was betting their life and death on it.

The Self-Sacrificial Demonic Punch, a fist to abandon the life of one? It was truly formidable. It was no wonder why it was called a demonic punch!

The four of them had their hearts violently trembling under the sacrificial intent on the fist. At this moment, they could clearly sense that when the punch truly descended, it would be their deaths.

At this moment, they couldn’t run even if they wanted to!

The four of them had put all their power into it, but it was still a futile effort and fresh blood started to ooze from their bodies, showing signs of crumbling.

Even if Mu Chen had reached the pinnacle of the first level of the Dragon-Phoenix Physique, his body had started to crumble with traces of blood spreading out on his skin, which made him look extremely terrifying.

Rumble!

The punch was already not even fifty feet away from them and the sky even seemed to be covered by it.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The three aside from Mu Chen finally couldn’t hold on any longer and they were suppressed.

Puff! Puff!

The three of them had spewed blood at the same time and their auras had diminished.

“Bastard, I give up!” Zong Teng’s face was pale. He had felt that his body had nearly exploded from the pressure, so he could only gnash his teeth and roar. He felt that if he held on much longer, he would probably die in this place.

Although a Divine Ability was a tempting reward, he still had to live in order to enjoy it.

Buzz!

Along with Zong Teng choosing to give up, a light surged around him and his silhouette immediately disappeared. He had been sent out of the Body Refining Pagoda.

After Zong Teng, Mo Feng and Han Shan had lasted for another bitter ten breaths before the energy of the punch, which was approaching them, brought them despair.

It was basically impossible for them to resist it.

Therefore, after some struggling in their hearts, the two of them had chosen to give up at the same time.

Buzz! Buzz!

A light flickered and the two’s silhouettes disappeared.

Along with their departure, Mu Chen was the only one left on this battlefield. But he was also having a hard time at this moment and his entire body was covered in blood.

The might of the fist, which was blowing in every direction, made him feel like he was ten thousand miles deep in the ocean, bearing an extremely terrifying pressure.

But it was this pressure that caused a flash of insanity in Mu Chen’s eyes. At this moment, although it was dangerous, it was also an opportunity for him!

It was the perfect opportunity for him to break through to the second level of the Dragon-Phoenix Sutra!

Any breakthrough required the threat of death!

And right now, it was the perfect circumstances for him!

“Let’s breakthrough here!”

Mu Chen roared and swiftly circulated the Dragon-Phoenix Sutra. The blood in his body had wandered at this moment, then it endlessly poured towards the True Dragon and Phoenix Tattoos on his arms.

Along with a large amount of blood infusing into his arms, the purple-golden tattoos started to turn a little red.

But it was this scarlet colour that gradually gave a sense of vitality to the True Dragon and Phoenix Tattoos.

In the past, despite the Dragon and Phoenix Tattoos being vivid, they lacked vitality. It’s as if they weren’t alive, nor did they possess any spirituality. But at this moment, Mu Chen had poured his blood essences towards the True Dragon and Phoenix Tattoos under the threat of death, causing the True Dragon and Phoenix Tattoos that had absorbed a large amount of power from Mu Chen to gradually form their spirituality!

In that instant when the spirituality was formed, the Dragon and Phoenix Tattoos that resided on Mu Chen’s arms had completely opened their eyes.

A draconic roar and phoenix cry resonated between the heavens and earth, as if they are the kings of this world.

At this moment, the Dragon-Phoenix Sutra had finally broken through to the second level that Mu Chen had yearned for!

It was also at this moment that the blood fist that was descending down had slammed against Mu Chen’s body, which wasn’t moving...

At that moment, the heavens and earth trembled.
