Chapter 680 - The Bizarre Nine Dragons and Elephants Art
Mu Chen quietly sat alone on a mountain peak in the Nine Nether Palace. In between his palms, there was a golden scroll that was slowly revolving, continuously emitting golden light ripples from it.
Mu Chen abruptly opened his eyes that had been shut for a long time. He lowered his head, looking at the golden scroll with his eyes filled with confusion and amazement.
The golden scroll was naturally the Nine Dragons and Elephants Art that he had gotten from Liu Ming.
Mu Chen had been studying it for the past three days, but the shocking fact was that there weren’t any results for those three days. It was so much so that he had not even found the foothold to the Nine Dragons and Elephants Art.
Mu Chen’s expression irregularly changed and he abruptly formed seals with both of his hand. As the seals changed, boundless Spiritual Energy swept out. It had actually turned into a small purple spiritual dragon that landed on his palm. The purple dragon roared with a dragon roar that vaguely resounded.
Boom!
When Mu Chen sent a palm out, the purple dragon whistled out and heavily slammed against a mountain peak, creating large ravines on it in an instant.
Mu Chen stared at those ravines with his brows knitted even tighter. The purple dragon that he had refined earlier was through the cultivation technique of the Nine Dragons and Elephants Art. It was formed as he had expected, but… the power was quite poor…
With Mu Chen’s strength, he could easily level the mountain before him with a wave of his palm. But when he used the Nine Dragons and Elephants Art, the power had decreased instead.
This Nine Dragons and Elephants Art was bizarre.
“How is it like this…?”
Mu Chen muttered to himself as confusion shown within his eyes. Clearly, this was the first time he had encountered such a bizarre Divine Art. No wonder someone actually took such a Quasi-Perfect Rank Divine Art to be auctioned. This thing was difficult to cultivate.
Mu Chen showed a pondering expression on his face as he tightened his grip on the golden scroll. The power of the Nine Dragons and Elephants Art wasn't as he had expected. That meant that his cultivation method was faulty.
But… weren’t Divine Arts all cultivated this way?
Mu Chen slightly narrowed his eyes as the cultivation technique of the Nine Dragons and Elephants Art flowed into his mind. He fell into deep thought as he attempted to see if he had missed anything.
Mu Chen maintained this state for roughly an hour as his expression paused, his keen senses stopped on a sentence of the cultivating chant.
“Energies forming the dragons and elephants…”
Mu Chen frowned his brows as light flickered in his black pupils. Was that implying to form the dragons and elephants with Spiritual Energy? But he had already attempted that…
“Perhaps the forming was wrong?” Mu Chen muttered to himself. Shortly after, his heart jolted as his consciousness sank into his Sovereign Sea. In the purple radiant Sovereign Sea, boundless Spiritual Energy was continuously whistling.
Mu Chen’s Spirit slowly appeared above the Sovereign Sea, standing above the ocean with a pondering expression. A brief moment later, he abruptly formed some seals with both of his hands, the speed of his hands forming seals were getting faster. In the end, the images that were created were dazzling to the eyes.
“Rise!”
A deep bark rang out from the mouth of Mu Chen’s Spirit.
Boom!
The entire Sovereign Sea turned violent as countless Spiritual Energy pillars shot across the horizon. Those pillars intertwined in the sky, and the Spiritual Energy wreaked havoc at the converging point, vaguely forming a massive purple dragon.
The massive dragon rested on the horizon as dominant Spiritual Energy fluctuations wreaked havoc similar to the howling of tornados.
This purple dragon was formed with the Dragon Forming Seal of the Nine Dragons and Elephants Art. The might wasn’t ordinary, however… something seemed to be lacking for this massive dragon.
It was like a Divine Artifact without any spirituality.
The Spirit of Mu Chen waved his hand, dissipating the massive dragon, causing the majestic Spiritual Energy to return to the Sovereign Sea. He shut his eyes once again and sank into deep thoughts.
These profound thoughts took half a day.
Half a day later, Mu Chen abruptly opened his eyes. He lowered his head to look at the Sovereign Sea that was purple in colour. On the surface of the sea, there were faint purple flames that were gently wriggling.
These were the Undying Flames.
Mu Chen stomped his feet, causing the Spiritual Energy to soar into the horizon once again. Along with the changes of his seals, the figure of a massive purple dragon was formed in the sky.
But this time, when the purple dragon was formed, there were purple flames that abruptly swept out from the Sovereign Sea and enveloped the massive purple dragon.
Fuuh! Fuuh!
The purple flames were burning the massive purple dragon, causing the dragon to swiftly shrink in size. Furthermore, the body of the dragon was beginning to turn sparkling as it looked like a purple crystal dragon from far away.
Also, purple flames were wriggling in the eyes of the massive purple dragon. In an instant, the dragon seemed to have come to life. It was instantly given life for something that was lifeless and created with Spiritual Energy.
Roar!
When the size of the purple dragon shrank to about a hundred feet, the body had thoroughly turned into a gem, radiating with light. The purple dragon roared towards the sky. As the roar of a dragon rang out in the Sovereign Sea, it lifted ripples that were myriads of feet high.
The purple dragon soared across the horizon as a dragon roar trembled. It suddenly whistled down and dived into the Sovereign Sea.
Lowering his head, Mu Chen saw the purple dragon in the depths of the Sovereign Sea, as if it had fallen asleep. While it was sleeping, purple flames were wriggling about on its body, as if the flames were refining it.
Mu Chen looked at the purple dragon in the depths of his Sovereign Sea as a trace of insight flashed across his eyes. It turns out that this Nine Dragons and Elephants Art couldn’t be executed through ordinary methods. It had to first be refined in the Sovereign Sea, nurturing and hiding it. At the same time, allowing it to move about in the Spiritual Energy and be continuously refined.
Furthermore, the refinery of the purple dragon required a unique material, like the Undying Flames, to bring it to life. Only those unique energies mixed during the refinery could bring it to life.
“Energies forming the dragons and elephants, dragons and elephants converge as they devour the sky and earth.”
Mu Chen muttered to himself as his eyes grew even more brilliant. In the next instant, his hands swiftly formed some seals as he howled, “Elephants Forming Seal!”
Rumble!
Another majestic Spiritual Energy soared into the horizon. But this time, it did not form a purple dragon but a massive purple elephant.
The massive elephant strode the horizon like a towering pillar that supported the heavens and earth, it was majestic and spectacular.
Mu Chen had also fused the Undying Flames into the massive elephant. In an instant, flames were dancing in its eyes, as if it was alive.
“Dragon and Elephant converge!”
Mu Chen raised his hand. The purple dragon whistled as it flew out from the depths of the Sovereign Sea and clashed against the massive purple elephant in the sky.
The dragon and elephant collided with each other as a purple light wreaked havoc in an instant. A brilliant purple light ball appeared over the horizon. The interior of the light ball was a dragon and an elephant that seemed to have converged together.
Poof! Poof!
The dragon and elephant converged as a terrifying energy exploded. Purple light was seen flickering as it nurtured a dreadful energy light ball. It dulled down as the boundless Spiritual Energies spread out, wreaking havoc and the light ball instantly turned into sparkles of Spiritual Energy that fell from the skies.
Mu Chen was stunned when he watched this scene. He had already come this far, how did he still fail? This Nine Dragons and Elephants Art was truly that bizarre?
Mu Chen stared at the sprinkling light that covered the sky as he gritted his teeth. If an ordinary people had failed to come this far, their hearts would turn cold. But for Mu Chen, it had incited the stubbornness in his heart.
He genuinely refused to believe that he couldn’t handle this damnable Divine Art!
His hand seals changed again.
Spiritual Energy whistled in his Sovereign Sea as the purple dragon and elephant were continuously being formed and converged together…
But all his attempts ended in failure.
Huuuu.
Mu Chen’s Spirit was panting heavily. He had already lost count of how many times he had failed. He didn’t know why but he kept failing at the last step. The so-called “dragon and elephant convergence”, it was just impossible for them to fuse together and unleash the dreadful power at the same time.
“It’s not even possible…” Mu Chen muttered with his teeth clenched. In his senses, it seemed to him that the dragon and elephant would start to dissolve the moment they came together, it was like two flames flashing together and could not bring any changes.
He could sense that if he could succeed in this step, he would be able to unleash a horrifying power from this Nine Dragons and Elephants Art… but that step wasn’t that easy.
Mu Chen’s Spirit laid on the ocean as his gaze constantly flickered as thoughts swiftly circulated in his mind like lightning.
The real power of the Nine Dragons and Elephants Art lied in the last step. Even if the two forces of the same attributes successfully fused together, it was only a slight increment to the power.
Could it be that it required an energy of a different attribute?
Mu Chen narrowed his eyes. The Spiritual Energy in his body had fused with the Undying Flames; thus, the dragon and elephant that was created with his Spiritual Energy would have the same attribute.
He required a unique energy with a different attribute that was comparable to the Undying Flames.
But where was he going to find that energy?
Mu Chen’s expression swiftly changed. In the next instant, a spiritual light flashed across his mind.
On the mountain peak, Mu Chen abruptly opened his eyes and formed seals shortly after. Lightning flickered as thunderous booming sounds rang out from his body. Along with those sounds, his body was swiftly turning into lightning.
Thunder abruptly rang across the Sovereign Sea as black lightning fell from the horizon.
The Spirit of Mu Chen waved his tiny hands, and the Spiritual Energy converged together as it turned into a massive elephant once again. But this time, the massive elephant was howling as it devoured the descending black lightning.
Poof! Poof!
The massive elephant that was purple in colour swiftly changed, changing into a massive black elephant with lightning flickering across it.
Mu Chen was looking at the black lightning elephant with joy in his eyes. He waved his palm as the purple dragon that was burning with purple flames whistled out and hovered before the black lightning elephant.
The dragon of purple flames, the elephant of black lightning.
The two different colossal figures hovered over the horizon as faint destructive ripples quietly fluctuated.
Mu Chen’s eyes were radiating with dazzling lustre.
It was this feeling!
This was the real power of the Nine Dragons and Elephants Art!
