Chapter 1307: Jumping into the Furnace

Weng!

A violent and flaming spiritual energy filled the scarlet magma zone, while a gigantic red figure rose up from within it. The figure was enormous, and it breathed out hot waves of air. The entire space was twisted by the scorching heat.

That gigantic figure was the Spiritual Clone that had been gathered from the Blazing Fire Array. It had been transformed by the pure spiritual energy of the universe, and its mightiness was unpredictable. It could stand even stand against a Complete Earthly Sovereign!

As the heatwave swept out, the temperature in the karst cave was also increasing. Mu Chen’s action immediately drew the attention of the rest of the people here. When they saw the Blazing Fire Array, their expressions could not help but change.

“It’s an Advance Ancestral Master’s Spiritual Array!” Wen Qingxuan opened her eyes wide and looked at Mu Chen doubtfully. She couldn’t believe that this fellow was actually an Advance Spiritual Array Ancestral Master!

It was no wonder that he was confident enough to intercept the two top Wu warriors. He actually had quite a trump card!

“This fellow!” Wen Qingxuan bit her red lips gently and her eyes had a complicated look in them.

During the battle of the Five Great Academies in the earlier years, Mu Chen was strong, but he was not any stronger than her. A few years later, when they met each other again, Wen Qingxuan was shocked by his Upper Earthly Sovereign’s strength. However, it was still within her expectation.

But, she had never expected that his strength of Upper Earthly Sovereign was only on the surface, and that the power that Mu Chen displayed might just be the tip of the iceberg! Hence, despite Wen Qingxuan’s being somewhat prideful, she was a little dejected after seeing the drastic improvements in Mu Chen. This fellow was too crazy!

Wu Tong, who was trapped in the Black Liquid Dungeon that was created by Ling Xi, also narrowed his eyes and looked in Mu Chen’s direction. When he saw the Blazing Fire Array, his eyebrows furrowed. Apparently, Mu Chen had displayed a hand that was beyond his expectation.

“This fellow has some means of his own, but even though you are an Advance Spiritual Array Ancestral Master, you can never beat the two superior Wu warriors from my Wu family!” A dark and cold expression flashed across his face as he spoke.

Apparently, it was impossible for Mu Chen to settle the two Wu warriors, both of whom had the strengths of Complete Earthly Sovereigns, with just an Advance Ancestral Master’s Spiritual Array. Besides, only one Wu warrior was trapped inside it now.

The other Wu warrior would put up an intensive offense from now on, and Mu Chen would lose control of the Ancestral Master’s Spiritual Array. Once no one was managing the spiritual array, its mightiness would decrease drastically.

Then, the Wu warrior would be able to break through quickly! By that time, Mu Chen would be under the attack of the two Wu warriors once again.

“Well, this spiritual array is the troublesome one.” Wu Tong focused on himself once again.

He looked at the Black Liquid Dungeon Spiritual Array that was above his head. Although this spiritual array did not have a strong offense, it was adequate to imprison him. Thus, the various means that he displayed could not break the array at all. This woman seemed to only want to stall him!

Radiance slightly flickered in Wu Tong’s eyes. As he glanced at the flaming furnace in the karst cave again, doubt just flashed across his eyes.

Boom!

The large blazing figure took shape and immediately fired off a fearsome offense at the Wu warrior who was trapped in the spiritual array. As the massive fist shot out, violent and flaming fire waves blasted at the Wu warrior.

Dong!

The emotionless Wu warrior received the blow with a powerful stance. The two of them then engaged in a twisted fight, the fierce impact of which shocked the entire karst cave violently.

While the fierce battle was raging in the spiritual array, another Wu warrior charged at Mu Chen. A fearsome spiritual energy gathered on the warrior’s fist, giving every one of his punches the power to shatter the Earth!

The Holy Pagoda emitted a brightness from the pupils of Mu Chen. He then turned all of his spiritual energy into Crystal Spiritual Energy. As he fired off a punch, many crystal-like runes appeared on his arm.

Dong! Dong!

The two figures blasted fiercely at each other, while the space vibrated. The situation became incredibly intense!

Just like what Wu Tong had expected, when Mu Chen was engaged in the fight, the Blazing Fire Array was losing its spiritual glow. The giant blazing figure was also losing his ground against the Wu warrior.

However, soon after this situation began, Mu Chen gave a faint smile. He then made a seal with one hand, while the space behind him started to fluctuate.

At that moment, a white-robed Mu Chen suddenly appeared and sat within the Blazing Fire Array. He sat with his leg-crossed and began to control the spiritual array.

As the white-robed Mu Chen entered the array, the Blazing Fire Array immediately exploded with a bright scarlet glow. The gigantic blazing figure let out a roar towards the sky. Instantly, the situation changed, and that Wu warrior was completely on the losing end of the fight!

Once the spiritual array was stabilized on the other side, Mu Chen focused his attention on the Wu warrior who was in front of him. In the previous collision, he had already noticed that he was able to go up against a Complete Earthly Sovereign with the powering up of the Holy Pagoda. But, obviously, he was still on the losing end.

After all, the difference in the level of strength between the Upper Earthly Sovereign and the Completely Earthly Sovereign was significantly huge. If a normal Upper Earthly Sovereign met a Complete Earthly Sovereign, he would risk losing his life within ten blows.

But, it was already not easy for Mu Chen to go against the Wu warrior who was a Complete Earthly Sovereign up to this extent. Besides, this was all done without his Sovereign Celestial Body.

“If one is not enough, then I will have two,” Mu Chen muttered as he smiled.

He looked at the Wu warrior, who was ready to charge forward at him again. His body shook, and a black-robed Mu Chen appeared at his side. The two of them fired off their punches together, and the violent spiritual energy formed a windstorm before them.

Bang!

Their fists collided hard with the Wu warrior. This time, Mu Chen no longer staggered back. Instead, the Wu warrior was blasted off of the ground.

Dong Shan, who was having a fierce fight with Wen Ziyu in the distance, stole a glance at that scene. He could not help but darken his expression, as he was rather horrified to see three identical Mu Chens! He did not understand where Mu Chen had gotten all of these clones from.

“Hmph! You should take care of yourself first!” But, when Dong Shan lost his concentration for a moment, a sneer was heard. The next moment, a cold radiance from a sword came piercing through the air. At the speed of lightning, the sword brushed against Dong Shan’s chest, causing a trace of blood stain to surface.

“Lad, you’re courting your own death!” Dong Shan’s face suddenly became hideous, as he had been wounded due to his own carelessness.

He held his saber, his killing intent surging even more. Immediately, he wielded his saber, the radiance from it looming over Wen Ziyu in all directions.

Violent spiritual energy crazily swept out within the enormous karst cave. If this karst cave had not been left by the Spiritual Butterfly Pill Fairy, it might have been reduced into ashes amid such a fierce battle!

“Qingxuan, get the inheritance now!” When Mu Chen had contained the two Wu warriors contained, he quickly sent a message to Wen Qingxuan.

She nodded her head, and without any hesitation, she withdrew from the battle and turned into a streamer. She then headed towards the furnace, which was deep in the karst cave. Wen Qingxuan knew that Mu Chen and the rest were buying her time, so she knew that she needed to make full use of every moment.

Dong Shan and the rest were anxious when they saw her actions. They wanted to intercept her, but they were currently tied down.

Wen Qingxuan quickly appeared before the furnace, which had the shape of a Spiritual Butterfly. A blazing flame was burning within the furnace. Even though she did not feel the heat that was coming from it, the fire still sent chills down her spine.

This furnace had been left by the Spiritual Butterfly Pill Fairy, and it had been burning for more than a thousand decades. Even a Complete Earthly Sovereign would be reduced to ashes on contact if he was not careful!

As Wen Qingxuan stared at the furnace, she took a deep breath. According to her source, the inheritance of the Spiritual Butterfly Pill Fairy was within the Spiritual Butterfly Furnace. Thus, one must jump into the furnace before one could obtain the inheritance.

However, this was a perilous thing to do! This was because a death aura exuded from the furnace. As such, a Complete Earthly Sovereign would be reduced into ashes by it, let alone a Lower Earthly Sovereign like her!

Wen Qingxuan bit her red lips and clenched her hands tight. Hesitation flashed across her eyes, but she quickly suppressed it. Soon, a look of intense determination surged on her pretty face.

To obtain the inheritance, one must naturally pay a price. If she did not dare to take up this challenge, she could never be fit for the inheritance of the Spiritual Butterfly Pill Fairy!

Wen Qingxuan tapped her feet and darted out, immediately beaming into a flash of light and jumping into the burning furnace, while everyone watched in shock. Although Mu Chen had guessed that this might be the only way to obtain the inheritance, he was still worried for Wen Qingxuan’s safety.

Any mistakes she made, she might be reduced into ashes by the flame in the furnace! The only thing he could do now was to pray that the choice that Wen Qingxuan made was the correct one.

At the same time, Wu Tong, who was still trapped within the Black Liquid Dungeon, suddenly stood up. As he looked at Wen Qingxuan, an eerie expectation flashed in his eyes.

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