Chapter 1006 - Ninth Lamp Lit

“Explode!”

When the hoarse voice resounded from Mu Chen’s throat, a dazzling golden light exploded. The golden light did not blossom from the surface of the stone tablet, but exploded from within the depths of the stone tablet…

Everything wasn’t as sturdy as the surface. So the inner parts should’ve been rather weak, which was the case for this black stone tablet before him.

Therefore, when the golden light exploded, the stone tablet violently trembled and the trembling far exceeded everything else from the past.

Not far away, Han Shan and the rest had their minds blanked when they watched the violently trembling black stone tablet. That’s because they had also sensed the sudden explosion within the stone tablet.

With their experience, they naturally knew that the energy must’ve been left in the stone tablet by Mu Chen’s previous punch, which was absorbed into the tablet.

However, they did not understand why the force that the stone tablet had absorbed would suddenly explode.

That’s because, according to normal circumstances, as long as any force bombarded the stone tablet, the energy would be absorbed, since the stone tablet was made of the flesh of the Sky-Devouring Divine Beast. Therefore, the tablet possessed a horrifying digestive ability. As long as it wasn’t any energy that had surpassed it, the energy would be instantly devoured.

But… why wasn’t Mu Chen’s force devoured and, instead, was even controlled by him to explode?

Boom!

As their minds turned blank, the last bronze lamp suddenly trembled, and in the next instant, the eyes of Han Shan and the rest were focused on it. Their gazes were fixed on the ninth lamp as sparks suddenly appeared in the dark lamp.

Although those sparks were tiny, they genuinely existed, which meant that Mu Chen was currently trying to light the ninth lamp!

Furthermore, he seemed to have a chance of success!

This… how is this possible?!

Zong Teng face distorted. He had only managed to light up six bronze lamps with all his strength. Even someone as powerful as Han Shan only managed to light up the seventh.

But right now, Mu Chen had actually managed to light up eighth lamps and he even showed signs of lighting up the ninth lamp!

The ninth lamp ignited!

Just thinking about this, a chill surged in Zong Teng’s heart. There were numerous geniuses that entered the Divine Beast Origin after all these years, so he naturally knew that there was an extremely few of them that could light the ninth lamp on the Body Refining Pagoda. And all of them were monsters with extraordinary futures.

But right now, a Sixth Grade Sovereign human has achieved this?

That’s impossible!

Zong Teng gnashed his teeth as flames surged in his heart. He could barely accept that Han Shan was slightly better than him, but he would never accept a Sixth Grade Sovereign human exceeding him. Otherwise, what would be of him, the genius of the Sky Roc Clan? A joke?

Zong Teng fixed his gaze on the Ninth Lamp and the chill in his eyes seemed like it wanted to extinguish the sparks in the lamp.

What was unusual was that under Zong Teng’s gaze, the sparks in the ninth lamp were actually dimming down, as if they would dissipate soon.

When Mo Feng saw this scene, he contracted his eyes. Didn’t it look like Mu Chen’s energy was about to be exhausted? If that’s the case, then Mu Chen wouldn’t be able to light up the ninth lamp.

As this thought circulated in Mo Feng’s heart, Mu Chen’s fist, which was connected to the black stone tablet, suddenly trembled and the flesh on his fist torn apart. Revealing eerie white bones as fresh blood flowed.

When the white bones were revealed, Mu Chen’s face suddenly turned savage as he roared, “Light up for me!”

Rumble! Rumble!

Under his roar, the energy that he had sent into the stone tablet had violently exploded. Instantly, rumbling noises continuously resounded. Along with the huge explosions, Mo Feng and the rest were startled to see the sparks on the ninth lamp, which was dimming down, suddenly turned brilliant and they were swiftly spreading out. In the end, they had completely blazed, igniting the ninth lamp with a puff.

Lightning up the ninth lamp was a success!

When the ninth lamp lit up, both the situations in and out of the pagoda were silent…

Han Shan and the rest had their eyes fixed on the ninth bronze lamp with shock on their faces. It was so much so that it was even hard for Mo Feng to maintain a calm expression.

No one had expected Mu Chen to really manage lighting up the ninth bronze lamp.

At this moment, outside of the Body Refining Pagoda was a piece of silence. Everyone had their mouths widened with shock on their faces as they looked at the screen on the fourth level. All of their gazes were fixed on the ninth bronze lamp.

Liu Qing and the faces of the experts of the Sky Roc Clan froze. When the flames in the ninth lamp flickered, their pupils twitched and they felt an endless chill in their hearts.

Zong Teng, who had lit up seven bronze lamps, was already the elite amongst the younger generations of their Sky Roc Clan. But before Mu Chen, who had lit up nine lamps, what was this elite considered?

Seven and nine lamps.

Even people like them who had not entered the Body Refining Pagoda knew of the gap that represented. Although the stone tablet only represented the strength of the physical body, they did not doubt that Mu Chen’s previous fist was something that even a Seventh Grade Sovereign would be heavily injured by.

With the strength of a Sixth Grade Sovereign that could heavily injure a Seventh Grade Sovereign.

What kind of monster was that?

Zong Teng’s face was pale. If he had previously fought with Mu Chen and the latter had used that punch, even if he did not die, he would probably be crippled by now…

Thinking of them mocking him before then, they felt the suffocating pressure when the ninth bronze lamp lit up. They knew that all the geniuses here would be dim in comparison to Mu Chen.

“How is that person… so terrifying…?”

Liu Qing’s face was pale as she spoke with difficulty. At this point in time, no matter how sharp-tongued she was, she did not dare to mock him any further. The performance that the latter had shown made her feel fearful.

This person is too terrifying.

Standing beside her, the geniuses of the Sky Roc Clan were speechless. They couldn’t understand how Mu Chen could be so terrifying with the strength of a mere Sixth Grade Sovereign.

“Big Brother Mu Chen is too formidable… even more formidable than Big Brother himself.” As Liu Qing and the rest were feeling fearful in their hearts, Mo Ling had widened her black pupils as she looked at the ninth bronze lamp with astonishment in the screen.

Revere showed in her face. She had always thought that Mo Feng was the most outstanding among the younger generation. But compared to Mu Chen, even Mo Feng was somewhat inferior.

Nine Nether’s gaze was also dazed for a moment, before she gradually recovered from the shock. When she heard Mo Ling’s words, she couldn’t help smiling. “Selling your brother out so quickly? Mu Chen must have used some technique to light up the ninth lamp. Furthermore, in terms of physical strength, Mu Chen might not be stronger than Han Shan, Mo Ling and the rest. To them, the strength of their physique wasn’t the slightest bit proportionate.”

Mo Ling nodded her head upon hearing her words. But the revere on her face hadn’t decreased in the slightest. That’s because the silhouette that was in the screen, maintaining the stance of having a fist out, had a bearing that made others unable to shift their eyes from.

Nine Nether smiled but she did not speak any further. She was slowly relaxing her tensed heart as she looked at the slender silhouette in the screen, before pride started to rise in her heart. The Elders in the clan had always looked at Mu Chen with contempt, but after knowing Mu Chen’s performance in the Body Refining Pagoda, they would reconsider their thoughts, right?

…

Nine lamps were all lit before the black stone tablet.

As the flames flickered in Mu Chen’s eyes, he had also gradually broken the empty state of his heart. When the world was, once again, exposed in his senses, the intense pain that came from his hand made his face slightly distorted.

He slowly retracted his fist and a golden light surged on it. But since he had already used all his energy, he felt empty in his body and realised that he couldn’t even move his feet.

This was the sign of exhausting his energy completely.

The corner of Mu Chen’s lips pulled with great difficulty. He could barely manage to stand before the stone tablet, but he maintained his body so that he didn’t collapse in a pathetic state…

Buzz! Buzz!

While Mu Chen was feeling the exhausting in his body, a commotion finally came from the black stone tablet and a blood-red crack appeared on the tablet like the meridians.

As the tablet trembled, strands of fresh red chaotic aura oozed from the stone tablet.

The chaotic aura was mixed with an extremely dense essence. At the same time, there was the blood essence of the Sky-Devouring Divine Beast contained within it. Mu Chen had only taken a breath in of that aura and his bloody fist had already been instantly recovered.

The flesh on his body boiled at this moment, as if it was roaring with thirst, wanting to devour the chaotic aura!

Mu Chen’s gaze lit up. The chaotic aura was dozens of folds denser than the one that Han Shan, Mo Feng and Zong Teng had obtained!

The reward for lighting up nine lamps was truly ample to the point that it would make others drool.

Mu Chen rejoiced in his heart and no longer hesitated. With a suck, he was already absorbing the fresh red chaotic aura that came out of the stone tablet into his body.

While Mu Chen was absorbing the chaotic aura, Zong Teng’s eyes flashed with a cold light. He could tell that Mu Chen was powerless at this moment. At this moment, he could easily kill the latter with a flick of his finger!

Thinking about this, Zong Teng no longer hesitated and abruptly took a step forth.

He wanted to seize the chaotic aura from him!
