Chapter 649 - Fusing the Undying Flames
The earth-shattering amount of purple flames spread out in the space as it continuously swept down from above the Sovereign Sea with a terrifying momentum.
A terrifyingly high temperature swept out in the Sovereign Sea.
In that instant, even after Mu Chen had experienced the bitter torture for a month, his Spiritual Energy in his Sovereign Sea was gradually boiling at this moment. An indescribable heat surged, he felt as if it was burning.
“What overbearing Undying Flames…”
Mu Chen’s gaze was grave as he watched this scene. Facing the tremendous momentum, he understood that Nine Nether had held back in that entire month of training.
If Nine Nether had the intention to kill, his entire Sovereign Sea would definitely be burnt to nothing.
“But no matter how overbearing you are, I will thoroughly fuse with you today!” Sharpness gushed from Mu Chen’s eyes as he inhaled and his hand seals changed.
Boom!
Torrential waves swept out in the vast Sovereign Sea as it turned into waves that were myriad feet in height as they tried to engulf the purple flames.
It truly was a spectacular scene.
Tsk! Tsk!
However, the majestic assault of his Spiritual Energy was evaporated by the purple flames at the instant of contact. It turned into a white mist that rose in the Sovereign Sea.
Boom!
When Mu Chen unleashed his attacks, the purple flames also started to show its might. Purple flames gathered as it formed into fire pillars that shot down, and looking at them, they were like shooting stars.
Boom! Boom!
The pillars of purple flames shot into the Sovereign Sea as they lifted torrential waves.
Tsk!
Along with the descent of those purple flaming pillars, the entire Sovereign Sea turned into tidal waves as it rolled. Mu Chen could sense that the Spiritual Energy in his Sovereign Sea wasactually being evaporated, bit by bit.
Right now, the Undying Flames were not being held back. If Mu Chen wanted to fuse them with his own Spiritual Energy, he would have to truly defeat them.
There wasn’t any shortcut to this fusion.
“We’ll see who can last longer.”
Mu Chen’s expression was grave, but without any hesitation. He waved his hand while showing a cold gaze, lifting myriads of waves in his Sovereign Sea. The boundless Spiritual Energy was like a loop of water as it enveloped the purple flames.
The two energies brazenly came into contact.
Tsk! Tsk!
There weren’t any violent impacts from the contact. The instant his Spiritual Energy mixed with the purple flames, it would immediately evaporate. But even so, Mu Chen still maintained a calm expression as he controlled his Spiritual Energy and endlessly shot it forth.
The Spiritual Energy was endlessly evaporating.
The ocean-level of his Sovereign Sea was being reduced in layers.
Because of the high temperature, even the space above the Sovereign Sea was slightly distorted, as if it was about to be destroyed.
On the mountain peak, Mu Chen’s body was flushed red, with his upper clothes already being reduced to dust. His expression was twisted and had clearly shown the intense pain that he was suffering. The sweat that came from him had also evaporated in an instant.
Cracks also appeared on the ground that Mu Chen sat on, and it was expanding at a rapid speed.
Nine Nether pointed at Mu Chen’a brow as she looked at him, whose entire body was red in colour. She couldn’t help clenching her teeth as at this point in time. There wasn’t much she could do. Mu Chen could only rely on himself to fuse with the Undying Flames…
“Mu Chen, you can do it.”
Nine Nether clenched her teeth as she muttered in her heart.
Within the Sovereign Sea, a dreadfully high temperature spread out.
The space in this region looked as if it was very slow. The rolling sea was being continuously torn apart as vast Spiritual Energy constantly evaporated.
As the Spiritual Energy in his body evaporated, Mu Chen felt a vague weakness surging up.
The surface of his Spirit was also fluctuating with ripples as his consciousness started to turn fuzzy. However, the Undying Flame was too overbearing, they were not only burning his Spiritual Energy, they even started to erode his Spirit.
The instant his Spirit was engulfed, the entire Sovereign Sea would also turn to nothing from the fire. And at that time, not only would Mu Chen fail his fusion, he might even be killed by the blazing flames.
If he wanted to fuse with such an overbearing matter, he would naturally have to pay an unimaginably dangerous price as well.
Mu Chen’s consciousness gradually turned fuzzy, but he still kept his consciousness clear, because he knew that if his consciousness was devoured, he would have to pay the price of annihilation.
It was a price that he couldn’t afford. He had already given his promise to that girl, so he couldn’t afford to stop here.
Time gradually flowed, and in the Sovereign Sea, space was also being distorted by the high temperature. The mist was everywhere in sight, clouding his vision.
In the boiling Sovereign Sea, Mu Chen’s Spirit quietly sat there. Compared to before, his Spirit had dimmed down a lot, but he still kept his eyes shut.
He could no longer sense any disturbances outside, but in the depths of his Spirit, there was still a strand of consciousness.
That strand of consciousness was similar to a light-weight boat in the torrential ocean, swaying along with the waves. It seemed like it could capsize at any moment, but it did not fall.
Facing the overbearing temperature of the Undying Flames, Mu Chen had no ways to counterattack and could only guard himself. His only advantage was his well-trained will that refused to go down so easily.
He knew that victory belonged to whoever could last longer.
The concept of time had already been unknowingly forgotten by Mu Chen. He only relied on that strand of consciousness to recall a long time, as if a hundred years had passed…
In that long time, even Mu Chen’s consciousness had started to fade and was gradually lost, unable to stay sober anymore.
“What am I doing?”
“Was I cultivating? I failed?”
“I feel like falling asleep like this…”
Indistinct ripples would occasionally come from his consciousness. In the darkness, Mu Chen’s remaining consciousness was unknowingly being quietly devoured.
Nine Nether stood on the peak as she looked down with a nervous gaze. The mountain had already turned scarlet-red, the grass and trees had already been reduced to dust, and the source of that destruction was Mu Chen, who was seating on the peak of the mountain.
She could see the pain on Mu Chen’s face had already disappeared, replaced with bewilderment. That bewilderment did not let her felt relieved. Instead, dense worry surged in her eyes.
She knew that if Mu Chen could not regain his conscious by himself, he would be submerged in that bewildering world of consciousness, and would no longer be able to find a way for himself to return.
Nine Nether clenched her teeth as she lightly raised her hand, but soon placed it down. In this short period of a day, there were several times when she wanted to interfere. But if that happened, it would cause grave injuries for Mu Chen.
“Mu Chen, you have promised her before that you will become a supreme expert…”
Nine Nether shut her eyes as she muttered in her heart.
In the fuzzy consciousness, tiny ripples suddenly fluctuated, and in the depth of them, it was as if a soft voice wa resounding.
It was distant, but also enlightening at the same time.
“I have promised her that I will become a supreme expert…”
“How can I let myself stop here?”
“Wake up.”
Following those two words, fluctuations rippled from the depths of his heart. That strand of conscious abruptly surged as it spread out and occupied his heart.
The bewilderment from before had completely disappeared.
On the Sovereign Sea, there was the Spirit that had shrunk in size by roughly tenfold. The Spirit jolted as his tightly shut eyes slowly opened up.
He was focusing on the Sovereign Sea that was filled with dense purple mist. He slowly stood up and lightly waved his sleeve. In an instant, a gale blew away the purple mist.
The mist faded and what appeared was the clear and vast ocean.
His current Sovereign Sea was lustring with purple as purple flames lightly swayed in the Sovereign Sea. The sea, which was initially boiling, had long calmed down.
Torrential purple flames hid below the sea.
Mu Chen’s Spirit was quietly looking at the Sovereign Sea as a faint smear of a smile appeared on his face.
“Did I succeed…?”
He slowly spread his arms out as boundless Spiritual Energy poured from beneath his feet. The size of his Spirit, which had shrunk down, instantly recovered. Furthermore, there were strands of purple light circulating on the surface of his body, and purple flames surging in his eyes.
Compared to before, his Spirit was even more refined.
Mu Chen extended his hand out as torrential purple Spiritual Energy swept from his Sovereign Sea and gathered on his palm. Vaguely, it turned into a strand of purple flames, with incredible power being emitted from it.
Mu Chen stared at that strand of purple flames as an arc rose on the corner of his lips.
He could sense that although there wasn’t any apparent increase in the Spiritual Energy, the might had increased by several times!
Because, at this moment, he had successfully fused the Undying Flames!
