Chapter 695 - 2000 Feet
Rustle.
In the depths of the Greatlaw Goldpond
A massive light figure quietly sat as the thick golden liquid was slowly flowing and endlessly poured towards that light figure.
Behind the head of the light figure, there was a blazing sun spinning with solar flames being emitted that refined the golden liquid. In the end, it was turned into stands of golden light and was absorbed.
As more and more golden liquid was being refined, the strands of golden light drifting on the surface of the massive light figure also swelled up.
Vaguely, those golden strands of light were like small snakes as they clung onto the massive figure.
When those golden snakes moved, there was a faint golden light left behind, along with bizarre energy being emitted, making this Sovereign Celestial Body seem more congeal.
This Sovereign Celestial Body was Mu Chen’s Great Solar Undying Body.
Right now, Mu Chen was seated within the Great Solar Undying Body. He slowly opened his shut eyes and looked at those golden snakes that were drifting on the surface of the Sovereign Celestial Body.
In his perception, the Goldpond energy that he had absorbed was turned into a total of eight golden snakes. Those eight golden snakes clung onto the surface of the Sovereign Celestial Body. Whenever they moved, it would cause a heated sensation as the Spiritual Energy became exceedingly lively or even boiling.
Mu Chen knew that when he refined those eight snakes, the might of his Great Solar Undying Body would become stronger. However… Mu Chen lightly frowned his brows because this sort of strengthening wasn’t what he expected.
He was still too far away from the so-called “Daluo Golden Body”.
Mu Chen sunk into his thoughts. Although the power of the Goldpond energy was already extremely vigorous, it was still clearly impossible to form the Daluo Golden Body here.
Mu Chen’s gaze lightly flickered. After that, his gaze started to shift towards the deeper region of the Greatlaw Goldpond. It was still dazzling in gold, and the depths could not be seen. The deep feeling that it gave off made others feel fear in their hearts.
After entering the Greatlaw Goldpond, Mu Chen understood how terrifying the pressure was in this area. If it wasn’t for the Great Solar Undying Body, it wouldn’t be possible for him to come this far with his strength of First Grade Sovereign.
But, right now, even this place could not satisfy Mu Chen. He knew that his motive for entering the Greatlaw Goldpond wasn’t to just merely refine his Sovereign Celestial Body.
His ambition was higher than anyone else’s.
Because he needed the strength.
Mu Chen’s gaze flickered as he inhaled a deep breath, and his gaze gradually turned cold. He firmly believed that there wasn’t any strength that gratuitously arrived. Since he wanted to obtain power, then he would have the pay the corresponding price for it.
If a Daluo Golden Body would make him helpless, then what would he do in the future when he encountered even steeper situations? Would he continue to run?
If that’s the case, perhaps he might never be able to fulfil his promise with that girl.
Mu Chen no longer hesitated as he abruptly formed some seals with both of his hands. The Sovereign Celestial Body jolted as it swiftly flew towards the depths of the Greatlaw Golpond.
Rustle!
The massive Sovereign Celestial Body tyrannically tore through the golden lake water. Powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuated as it resisted the terrifying pressure from the lake water that was coming from all directions.
100 feet… 200 feet…
In barely ten breath’s time, Mu Chen had already descended roughly 400 feet. Right now, he was somewhere around 1,200 feet below.
As he continued to dive, Mu Chen also sensed the surging pressure increasing several folds. That pressure was similar to mountains continuously being overlaid on one another.
But facing that pressure, there wasn’t any hesitation in Mu Chen as he continued to dive downwards!
The spiritual light of the Sovereign Celestial Body was already suppressed back into the body from the terrifying pressure. Even with Mu Chen being protected within the Sovereign Celestial Body, he felt a faint stinging pain.
“1,500 feet…”
Mu Chen clenched his teeth as his skin gradually turned red. But there wasn’t any cowardice in his black pupils, it was even more blazing and firm as he sensed that the Goldpond energy in the depths of the Greatlaw Goldpond was dense to a terrifying extent.
Only in that depth can he refine the Daluo Golden Body.
Still not enough!
Mu Chen’s eyes turned red as he controlled the Great Solar Undying Body to continue its descent. Reaching that depth, every 10 feet down, the pressure would frantically overlay.
Even if Mu Chen had the Great Solar Undying Body, his descending speed also became slower and slower, as if he was in a swamp.
This time, a full half an hour passed and Mu Chen was not even 100 feet down.
Also, the pressure from this short 100 feet had actually caused the Great Solar Undying Body to shrink by a lot. The dazzling spiritual light was slightly dulled at this moment.
But Mu Chen did not give up. His black pupils were directed at a deeper location as he allowed drops of fresh blood to ooze from his reddened skin.
The thick golden lake water tyrannically tore apart as the Sovereign Celestial Body continued to descend.
Another 100 feet… 150 feet… 200 feet…
…
Outside the Goldpond Peak
Every single gaze was directed at the four golden talismans. However, the three Emperors wore ordinary expressions. In the past, the Greatlaw Goldpond had been opened numerous times, and they had seen such similar calm situations many times. Thus, it was insufficient to cause any ripples to them.
After all, in their eyes, as long as there wasn’t anyone that had successfully refined the Daluo Golden Body, any level was the same to them. There wasn’t any difference in level and the difference was, at most, only fifty to a hundred steps.
Buzz!
While the three Emperors were indifferent, one of the golden talismans amongst the four suddenly became dazzling. The golden light spread out, covering the light coming from the three other golden talismans.
Although the lights on the three other golden talismans were also continually getting stronger, compared to the fourth golden talisman, they weren’t worth mentioning.
Everyone in this region was more or less astonished by this scene as an uproar broke out soon after. They probably knew what the intense light from the fourth golden talisman meant.
That light represented that someone was trying to break through towards the depths of the Greatlaw Goldpond.
Golden light poured into the eyes of the three Emperors. The gazes of the three Emperors abruptly narrowed, even the Sleeping Emperor had his eyes narrowed as he stared at the dazzling golden talisman.
“Someone is dashing towards the depths of the Greatlaw Goldpond!” The Sky Vulture Emperor exclaimed.
“From the brilliance, he must be getting close to 2000 feet.” Even the Spiritual Pupils Emperor was a little startled. He clearly knew how much pressure there was at 2000 feet below the Greatlaw Goldpond. At that place, even a Sovereign whose cultivation had reached the Third Grade would not be able to endure it, and the cultivation of those four that entered had evidently not reached that height yet.
“Who is it?” Their faces were filled with astonishment. With the Greatlaw Goldpond covering them, they could not tell who was so daring and was actually charging towards the depth of 2000 feet with their strength.
“Looks like the ambition of this person isn’t small.” The Sleeping Emperor smiled with some interest. Judging from the looks of it, this person is aiming for the Daluo Golden Body. In the long years of the Great Havenlaw Domain, the amount of those that could achieve that could be counted with one hand.
“I just fear that his heart is loftier than the sky.” The Spiritual Pupils Emperor spoke after a brief ponder.
The Sky Vulture Emperor had also frowned his brows. It was good to have ambition, but at times, one must know his limits. The danger in the Greatlaw Goldpond was sufficient to destroy any of those four. If they were too stubborn, they would only trap themselves within it.
“It’s been a long time since something like this has happened. Let us see if there will be any surprises.” The Sleeping Emperor faintly smiled as he stared at the golden talisman that was becoming more and more dazzling.
Down below, Tang Bing and Tang Rou were nervously looking at the dazzling golden talisman as they softly said to Nine Nether, “Big Sister Nine Nether, that can’t be Mu Chen, right?”
Although Mu Chen’s strength was only First Grade Sovereign and it didn’t seem possible for him to achieve this step, based on their feelings, those girls felt that this might probably be linked to Mu Chen.
Nine Nether looked at the golden talisman. A charming smile appeared on her cool and elegant face as she lightly nodded her head. “It should be him.”
Although her voice was soft, there was great self-confidence contained within.
Among those four, the strength of Xu Qing and the rest was the strongest. However, their strength was still insufficient for them to reach the depth of 2000 feet. Only that fellow Mu Chen had many means concealed up his sleeve. Thus, it was highly possible for him to do something so unexpected.
“Let me see what level will you achieve…” Nine Nether curled her lips as she muttered to herself.
Countless gazes focused on the golden talisman as the brilliance was getting stronger and stronger. Roughly half an hour later, that light was similar to a blazing golden sun.
That light had thoroughly covered the lights of the other three golden talismans.
Every single gaze had a smear of astonishment surging at this moment.
The gazes of the three Emperors had also gradually turned to graveness and astonishment from the initial indifference.
Buzz!
A buzzing sound suddenly came from the golden talisman. Shortly after, the golden talisman seemed like it could not endure any longer and exploded with golden light that was tens of thousands of feet, enveloping a hundred miles in radius.
The bodies of the three Emperors jolted and their pupils couldn’t help shrinking.
That fellow really managed to charge down 2000 feet in depth!
When everyone was stunned by the dazzling light, there was an abnormal fluctuation coming from the depths of the Greatlaw Goldpond.
