There was silence outside the Deification Pool. The Divine Beast Clans looked at the water mirror, dumbfounded and apparently shocked. After all, the invincible moves Huang Xuanzhi had revealed were too horrifying.

After a moment, someone in the crowd exclaimed, “This Mu Chen is too terrifying!” With one move, Mu Chen had caused Huang Xuanzhi to be taken away with a kind of strange means. Although it had been somewhat unprepared, it also had been enough to show how powerful Mu Chen was.

“No wonder he could turn the Budur Ancient Clan upside down. He has some ability, indeed.” At this moment, after truly seeing Mu Chen’s means, those who had known of Mu Chen through nothing more than hearsay also sighed. They had to admit how brilliant he was.

On a mountain, Clan Leader Tianhuang looked at this scene, and his face was full of wonder. The last time he had seen Mu Chen, the latter’s strength was not yet significant in his eyes. However, who could have known that just a few years later, even he would have to look up to the young man. Such a cultivation speed was freakishly fast.

Clan Leader Tianhuang gave a bitter smile and murmured to himself, “Meeting him was Nine Nether’s greatest opportunity. We have been trying to stop them, but now it looks like I’m the short-sighted one.”

While many whispers rang around the Deification Pool, the Phoenix King, Huang Jin, was staring at the water mirror. His face was calm, and no one could tell what he was thinking. Behind him, an elder from the Phoenix Clan said solemnly, “This Mu Chen is formidable, indeed.”

Huang Jin nodded, his eyes fixed on Mu Chen’s silhouette in the mirror as he said nonchalantly, “But if they think this will settle Xuanzhi, they have underestimated the supreme talents of my Phoenix Clan.”

…

Deep in the azure sea, Mu Chen, Nine Nether, Kong Ling’er, and the others stared at the gargantuan figure at the bottom of the sea. They could not help but hold their breath as they beheld the waves of blood aura raging like a tsunami.

After staring for a long time, Mu Chen frowned and said, “Although this Blood Essence Divine Beast shows signs of a breakthrough, the breakthrough is too slow. Even if it accumulates enough, it may take several years. We don’t have that much time.”

Kong Ling’er smiled and said, “What Brother Mu said is right. Since we can’t wait, then we can only encourage it by speeding up the progress.”

Mu Chen’s gaze flickered as he nodded slightly and said, “I see you are prepared.”

Kong Ling’er, Lin Cang, and Xiao Tian nodded. Hundreds of blood essences the size of a human’s head flowed out from their sleeves, floating around them. They had apparently captured the blood essences earlier. They were not of a low rank, and now converged together, they formed a rich and vast amount of blood.

“If we allow it to devour all of the blood essences, we can expect it to break through,” Kong Ling’er said with a smile.

Mu Chen stared at the powerful blood essences, astonished, and said, “You all did something to these?” He faintly sensed that there seemed to be some obscure spiritual fluctuations in the blood.

Kong Ling’er’s gaze flashed with surprise, as she obviously had not expected Mu Chen’s perception to be so sharp. She immediately nodded and said, “We did do something to it, so that when this Blood Essence Divine Beast has ascended to a breakthrough, we can easily attack and capture it.”

“Smart!” Mu Chen exclaimed. This Kong Ling’er was manipulative, indeed. Using such vicious means, she was hell-bent on subduing the Blood Essence Divine Beast. Of course, this must have also been because the Blood Essence Divine Beast had no intelligence. Otherwise, if the beast could sense the fluctuation, it certainly would not swallow these problematic blood essences.

Kong Ling’er smiled and shook her head. Without hesitation, she waved her hand, only to see the hundreds of blood essences roar out, floating towards the colossal figure in the distance. Such a large amount of blood gathered together of course immediately attracted the beast’s attention. A sharp screeching rang out as the beast’s massive mouth opened. With a strong suction force, it greedily swallowed each and every blood essence.

Rumble!

With such an enormous blood supply, the behemoth suddenly trembled as if the whole sea had been lifted up. The surging waves of blood raged, and even the space gradually twisted. Everyone could feel that the behemoth’s blood aura was climbing rapidly, and at a very swift rate, it reached the peak of the later stage of God Grade. However, as it ascended to this level, its ascent slowed down again and was seemingly stuck at a critical point, unable to really take that step forward.

“D*mn it!” Upon seeing this, Kong Ling’er frowned, as she obviously had not expected that even after paying such a great price, the Blood Essence Divine Beast was still a step away from the breakthrough.

“What now?” Mu Chen also frowned. They had spent so much effort, if they only got a Blood Essence Divine Beast at the peak of the later stage of God Grade, it wouldn’t mean much.

Kong Ling’er bit her red lips as she hesitated for a moment. Gritting her teeth, she said, “The four of us have Sovereign Divine Beast bloodlines in our bodies. If we draw on our own blood, we will certainly be able to help it take that step forward.”

At this point, Lin Cang and Xiao Tian were a little hesitant. After all, the loss of blood for Sovereign Divine Beasts was also a great price to pay, as it would take them a long time to recover from it.

“If we can get the Quasi-Holy Blood Essence, the price paid will be worth it!” Kong Ling’er murmured gravely.

Lin Cang and Xiao Tian considered, and they, too, were not willing to stop there. Nodding forcefully, they glanced at Nine Nether.

Mu Chen mused for a moment and said, “Nine Nether can also contribute her blood, but her strength is weaker. I am afraid that she cannot give as much as all of you, otherwise, it will hurt her foundation.”

Nine Nether nodded.

Kong Ling’er and the other two looked at each other. If Nine Nether gave less blood, then they would naturally have to give more. This caused them to feel some heartache. If Mu Chen was not there to protect Nine Nether, they would have forcibly extracted more than half of Nine Nether’s blood to feed the Blood Essence Divine Beast. However, they were fearful of Mu Chen’s power, so they could only take a step back for the moment.

“We’ll do as Brother Mu says.” After coming to a decision, they no longer hesitated. The four bit their tongues lightly, and different-colored blood torrents burst out. In the torrent, the rich blood aura almost materialized, shining dazzlingly.

The four torrents fell directly to the Blood Essence Divine Beast, and the latter was immensely joyful as it got something that fell from the sky. Roaring in excitement, it opened its mouth. There was no hesitation as it swallowed the flow of pure blood.

Boom!

As the blood flowed into its body, the stagnant blood aura of the Divine Beast began to soar crazily again as blood-red scales emerged on the surface of its huge body. A wave of horrifying eruptions caused everyone’s expressions to change as they looked nervously at the behemoth.

Spiritual light condensed in their eyes as they were able to see through the Blood Essence Divine Beast’s massive body. In the depths of its body, the blood essence, which was approximately three meters in size, was changing astonishingly. The blood essences they had seen before were blood-red beads, but now it began to turn into a round, black ball, as if it were a massive pill with a terrifying blood aura in it. They were even beginning to feel that there was a little light of wisdom in the eyes of the Blood Essence Divine Beast.

At the sight of this, Mu Chen said gravely, “Take the shot immediately. We can’t let it break through any more. If it becomes any stronger, we won’t be able to subdue it.”

Kong Ling’er and the others were also aware of how rapidly the beast was becoming more powerful. They immediately nodded without hesitation as their seals changed.

Dong!

Just as their seals changed, a violent explosion was heard in the Blood Essence Divine Beast’s body. The trick that had been hidden among the blood essences had been triggered.

The Quasi-Holy Blood Essence Divine Beast let out a painful howl as the explosions in its body suddenly interrupted its breakthrough. The powerful blood aura fluctuations of the whole body began to wane at an astonishing speed, as it had apparently suffered a heavy blow.

Kong Ling’er saw the situation and instructed again, “Detonate the blood essences!”

They had also hidden something in the blood they had previously given, and now that the Blood Essence Divine Beast had not yet completely refined it, they were naturally able to stir it up again.

Boom!

There were four low explosions, and then there was a harsh sound in the Quasi-Holy Blood Essence Divine Beast’s body. At this moment, the beast was utterly injured, and the huge body shrank several times. It seemed to feel that something was amiss and fled rapidly into the distance.

“Give chase!” Kong Ling’er yelled hurriedly, and then the five burst out at the same time, chasing closely behind the Quasi-Holy Blood Essence Divine Beast.

Rumble!

Deep at the bottom of the blue-green sea, the severely injured beast escaped in a frenzy, but the five were in hot pursuit and attacked relentlessly. An hour later under such a pursuit, the beast had shrunk in size more than ten times, the original frightening blood aura extremely weakened. Finally, the five saw it no longer had the strength to escape, and so they gathered around and launched a fatal blow.

Boom!

The Quasi-Holy Blood Essence Divine Beast’s body broke apart completely, blood aura spread, and a black light rose slowly. A black blood pill was suspended in front of them. Looking at the Quasi-Holy Blood Pellet, even Mu Chen could not help but swallow.
