Chapter 764 - Lesser Demon Heart State

Mu Chen’s figure quietly stood in the depths of the magma. Right now, his pupils were as black as black holes, which gave others the feeling that they would be sucked in. In addition, his black hair was swiftly growing and fluttered in the wind.

This bizarre change instantly attracted the attention of many experts, even Mandala had doubt flashing across her eyes, since she had never seen Mu Chen using such bizarre means.

“But the Spiritual Energy around him did not get stronger.” Behind Mandala, the Sky Vulture Emperor of the three Emperors frowned. The Spiritual Energy fluctuations around Mu Chen had indeed, not gotten stronger. On the contrary, they had gotten weaker.

But not knowing why, the current Mu Chen felt a lot more dangerous compared to before. These bizarre changes left even the Sky Vulture Emperor and the rest puzzled.

The only one with understanding was Nine Nether. That’s because she had gotten the Supreme Demon Heart Scripture together with Mu Chen. However, what left her surprised was the fact that Mu Chen had grasped the cultivation method of the Supreme Demon Heart Scripture in just a few months time.

And from the current looks of it, he seemed to have stepped into the initial foothold of it.

Such talent was something that even Nine Nether couldn’t help sighing in her heart. This fellow does indeed possess boundless potential.

The exclamations from the outside world did not cause any disturbance to Mu Chen. He was quietly staring at the blood essence wrapped by the lumps of light with an indescribable calmness on his face. That calmness made it seem like nothing would cause him any disturbances, even if the heavens fell and earth cracked.

That calmness represented an absolute rationality that wouldn’t be shaken by any disturbances.

This was the Demon Heart State!

Mu Chen gently clenched his fist over his chest. A pea-sized black pearl was slowly forming in his heart that couldn’t be seen by others.

This was the Demon Heart Seed!

After a few months of countlessly striking his heart with the Nether Demon Heart Lightning, the power of Demon Heart Lightning that was poured into his heart had finally been refined into the Demon Heart Seed!

The Demon Heart Seed would not let Mu Chen’s strength undergo a burst of growth, but it gave Mu Chen an absolute rationality. Under that rationality, it would allow the energy in his body to reach a near-perfect state.

Furthermore, his state-of-mind would not be disturbed by any means under this state. In addition, when facing life-and-death situations, he could still search for a trace of survival with absolute rationality.

Right now, Mu Chen had just formed the initial Demon Heart Seed, barely making it the first out of the Three Realms of the Demon Heart State, the Lesser Demon Heart State. He wondered how powerful he would become if he managed to reach the Greater Demon Heart State one day. Iy was no wonder why the Palace Master of the Lightning God Palace could confront Heavenly Sovereigns with the Perfection Realm of the Demon Heart State.

Mu Chen extended his five fingers, before slowly clenching them. The feeling of having absolute control over every single bit of his strength made him unable to help feeling a little intoxicated.

Boom!

Suddenly, a violent Spiritual Energy fluctuation came from outside the magma as the nine dragons were charging over in attempt to break through the obstruction of the Great Solar Undying Body and drive Mu Chen away.

“They sensed danger?” A smile seemed to appear on Mu Chen’s calm expression as he pointed five fingers at the nine drops of Primordial Fire Dragon's Blood Essences.

Roar!

The moment Mu Chen stretched his fingers out, the nine drops of Primordial Fire Dragon's Blood Essences let out a raging roar. The blood essences rolled and, vaguely, there were nine miniature Primordial Fire Dragons, even the red dragon scales had emitted a scarlet light at this moment.

Rumble!

The magma in that region started to stir, vaguely showing signs of condensing magma dragons again…

Outside the array, everyone had their eyes closely staring at this scene. They wished to know how Mu Chen would take those blood essences with the protection of the dragon scales and his cultivation at merely Third Grade Sovereign.

Under the numerous gazes, Mu Chen suddenly, gently flicked his five fingers.

Space seemed to have ripple with incorporeal substance pouring out. Following after that was the howling thunderous roar that rolled out.

Nine torn marks appeared in the magma that was caused by the incorporeal energy that swiftly charged towards the nine drops of Primordial Fire Dragon's Blood Essence like bolts of lightning.

Sizzle! Sizzle!

The dragon scales emitted a buzzing noise under the protection of the blood essence as they burst forth with scarlet light. A dragon rune flowed in the light, which became it's the strongest defense to protect the blood essence within.

Rustle!

Nine incorporeal bolts of lightning stuck, slamming into the light formed by the dragon scales in an instant under everyone’s gazes.

Boom!

There weren’t any ripples on the dragon scales light barrier but to everyone’s astonishment, it was the Primordial Fire Dragon's Blood Essence within that violently rippled upon the collision, as if they were issuing mournful howls.

A scarlet light frantically surged from the nine drops of Primordial Fire Dragon's Blood Essence, as if they were defending against some sort of attack. But what made others puzzled was the fact that there wasn’t any attack that managed to penetrate through the defense of the dragon scales.

Mu Chen’s pitch-black pupils quietly looked at the Primordial Fire Dragon's Blood Essence that was intensely trembling, then stretched his slender fingers out and flicked once again.

Howling cries of thunder resounded once again.

Boom!

The nine drops of Primordial Fire Dragon's Blood Essence couldn’t take it anymore and they flew out, taking the initiative to leave the defense range of the dragon scales under numerous dumbfounded gazes.

Rustle!

Mu Chen’s figure disappeared from the original spot and appeared behind those nine drops of Primordial Fire Dragon's Blood Essence in the next instant. Bending his finger, a suction force burst out and the nine drops of the Primordial Fire Dragon's Blood Essence were sucked into his hand.

Roar!

The blood essences continued to roar as if they were trying to struggle free. However, two surges of Spiritual Energy swiftly poured from Mu Chen’s palms, one blazing with purple flames, while the other was sizzling with incorporeal lightning.

The Spiritual Energies of two completely different attributes had reached a perfect balance at this moment, complementing each other as they formed into a light barrier that trapped the nine drops of Primordial Fire Dragon's Blood Essence within.

This control over two Spiritual Energies was clearly much more perfect compared to when Mu Chen usually handled them. At least right now, Mu Chen could not achieve fusing the two Spiritual Energies together in his normal state.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

As the blood essences were seized, the nine dragon scales burst out with a scarlet light that was a myriad foot long as it swiftly burst towards Mu Chen at lightning speed, leaving faint tearing marks in the space.

The speed of those nine dragon scales were so fast that it was simply impossible to dodge in time.

Rumble!

But just when those dragon scales were about to hit Mu Chen, the magma was suddenly torn apart and a golden hand reached out and grabbed Mu Chen.

Boom! Boom!

The dragon scales shot against the golden hand, instantly shattering it. But in that instant when the hand shattered, a figure burst out, which charged out of the magma ocean in several breaths’ time.

At this moment, the situation on the surface of the magma was extremely chaotic. Losing the blood essences, the nine magma dragons had also lost their supporting energy and they turned into magma that was pouring down.

Losing the core strength, the Nine-Nine Fire Dragons Array showed signs of collapsing and it was clearly about to shatter.

Mu Chen stood on the air as his black hair fluttered in the wind. His abstruse black pupils quietly looked at the direction of Mandala’s party. Even at this time, there wasn’t any expression on his handsome face.

“How can this be…?” Many experts were dumbfounded, especially Huo Mei’er, Bing Qing and the other Commanders. They couldn’t help blinking their eyes and their faces were filled with shock.

Mu Chen actually took nine Primordial Fire Dragon’s Blood Essence? Even Huo Mei’er only managed to obtain four when she was promoted to the Great Commander… could it be that Mu Chen was stronger than Huo Mei’er?

But that was clearly impossible!

“That’s…” Mandala had focused her attention on Mu Chen as well as she slowly said, “Is it the Nether Demon Heart Lightning? It’s no wonder why it can ignore the defense of the dragon scales and directly attack the blood essence that contained the aura of a fire dragon.”

“Nether Demon Heart Lightning?”

Everyone behind her was briefly stunned before, understanding what had happened. The Nether Demon Heart Lightning was something that could penetrate through physical defenses, striking directly into the depths of a person’s heart, having an extremely bizarre attacking method. But they never imagined that Mu Chen would actually use it to deal with the Primordial Fire Dragon’s Blood Essences.

“The Primordial Fire Dragon’s Blood Essences contains the remnant will of the Primordial Fire Dragon. This type of will fears the thunderous roar the most, so it was just a big trick this time.” Mandala faintly said.

Only then did everyone feel relieved. Luckily, it was just a trick. Otherwise, they would be ashamed to death. It was something that even they could not achieve, but a Third Grade Sovereign had accomplished it, it was simply face-smacking.

“Then, what will this be considered as?” asked Nine Nether.

A smear of a smile appeared on Mandala’s exquisite face as she said, “He won, of course. There’s no trick to speak of as long as you can win. Any method, even luck can be considered a part of your strength.”

“He was able to find a method to break it in such a short time and can even control the Nether Demon Heart Lightning to such a degree, those aren’t tricks.”

Rumble!

When Mandala finished speaking, the huge magma ocean tore apart and magma poured down, rumbling into the Greatlaw Blaze Pond.

Up in the sky, Mu Chen’s body lightly trembled as the abstruse blackness in his pupils swiftly retracted. His long black hair had also shrunk back, returning to his original appearance in a few breaths’ time.

As the Demon Heart State retracted, Mu Chen’s handsome face had also turned immediately lively. Right now, he possessed the liveliness that he should have.

“From now on, you are the Sixth Commander of the Great Havenlaw Army.”

When spirituality and liveliness returned in Mu Chen’s eyes, Mandala’s tender voice had also resounded, unhurried.

Down below, all the warriors of the Great Havenlaw Army exchanged looks, before respectfully bowing with their fists cupped together as deep voices resounded in an orderly fashion.

“Your subordinates greet the Sixth Commander!”
