Chapter 963 - Divine Beast Origin
"Elder Tianque?"
Up in the sky, Mu Chen looked at Elder Tianque, who had suddenly blocked him, and couldn't help frowning his brows. Could it be that this old fellow judged that the situation wasn't encouraging and wanted to take actions personally by himself?
If that's the case, then Elder Tianque would be too shameless.
Whoosh!
But as Mu Chen frowned his brows, whizzing sounds had resounded at his side with Mandala, Nine Nether and the three Emperors having appeared in a flash. All of them were looking at Elder Tianque and they were clearly unhappy with his earlier interference.
"Elder Tianque, I have treated you as my guest, and thus, I have been enduring your actions. But you really think that my Great Havenlaw Domain can be bullied by you?" Mandala's voice was cold.
When Elder Tianque saw Mandala flying into a rage, he did not dare to delay and immediately said, "I have lost this time. In this battle, Mu Chen's performance was extraordinary. It's no wonder why he can become the Overlord of the Northern Region's younger generations."
Behind Elder Tianque, Liu Qing had also swiftly flown over. He did not refute the former's words, since he had, indeed, not gotten many advantages in the previous confrontation.
Mu Chen could fight him to this point through his cultivation a the Fifth Grade Sovereign Realm and it was sufficient to prove how outstanding he was. If their fight had carried on, both sides would have a hard time to stop. That's because at that point in time, they could only fight with all their strength. At that point, they wouldn't be able to control their power and the slightest mistake might've ended up with heavy injuries.
When Mu Chen heard Elder Tianque's words, his knitted brows had loosened up, since he did not want to offend the Nine Netherbird Clan. So it was for the better, since this confrontation could end early. Furthermore, he was clear that even if this battle was to carry on, it would not have been easy for him to defeat Liu Qing.
That fellow's fighting strength was at the pinnacle of the Sixth Grade Sovereign Realm, which was even stronger than the Sky Dragon-Tiger. So if the fight had carried on, both of them would have ended up heavily injured, at best.
Elder Tianque calmed the rage of everyone, before looking at Mu Chen."Where did you get the True Pheonix pressure from?"
Although the True Phoenix pressure that Mu Chen had revealed was extremely faint, it was extremely evident for the Nine Netherbird Clan that possessed a trace of the Undying Bird's bloodline.
In the world of Spiritual Beasts, True Phoenixes were considered supreme Divine Beasts and were part of the absolute top tier. Every adulthood True Phoenix would possess a terrifying power comparable to Heavenly Sovereigns.
This sort of existence was extremely rare, even in the Phoenix Clan, and the True Phoenix pressure was something that even the ordinary Phoenix Clans wouldn't possess. Therefore, that was why Elder Tianque had revealed such shock and disbelief when he sensed the pressure coming from Mu Chen.
When Mu Chen heard his words, he was stunned before saying, "I have cultivated the Dragon-Phoenix Physique from the Dragon-Phoenix Haven."
He did not have much perception towards the so-called "True Phoenix pressure". Furthermore, in the past, when he used the Dragon-Phoenix Physique to fight his enemies, his enemies weren't affected by the faint True Phoenix pressure.
Looks like the so-called "True Phoenix pressure" could only be sensed by the Nine Netherbird Clan that possessed a trace of the Undying Bird's bloodline. If that's the case, then he should also possess a trace of the True Dragon pressure that probably only Divine Beasts that possessed the Dragon Clan's bloodline could sense...
"Dragon-Phoenix Haven?"
Elder Tianque knitted his brows."The Northern Region's Dragon-Phoenix Haven? I have heard of it before. It's said to be the place where the True Dragon and True Phoenix fell. I have once sent someone of the clan there. Despite obtaining a harvest from that place, they weren't like you, possessing a trace of the True Phoenix pressure."
"This can only be obtained from the Dragon-Phoenix Stairs after ascending the tenth step of the stairs and Mu Chen was the only one that managed to accomplish it over the past few hundred years." Mandala faintly said.
Elder Tianque was speechless. It looked like he knew about the Dragon-Phoenix Stairs in the Dragon-Phoenix Haven as well. But even those outstanding clansmen that he sent out in the past did not manage to ascend the tenth step and he never expected that Mu Chen could achieve it.
"Elder Tianque, since there's an outcome regarding the fight between Mu Chen and Liu Qing, then can you stop haggling in this matter any longer?" Nine Nether stared at Elder Tianque.
When Elder Tianque heard her words, he faintly smiled and shook his head.
"You!" When Nine Nether saw his response, she immediately knitted her brows and gritted her teeth.
"Little Nine Nether, you should know that this matter is so absolutely important that even this old man cannot make a decision." Elder Tianque solemnly looked at Nine Nether as he continued, "You have the purest bloodline in our Nine Netherbird Clan since the past few thousands of years. Within our clan, you have the highest possibility of awakening the Undying Bird's bloodline and, if you manage to complete your evolution, then you will truly become a Primordial Undying Bird."
"You're a pillar of our Nine Netherbird Clan's future. Therefore, the Nine Netherbird Clan will do our best to get rid of all obstacles that stand before you!"
As he spoke, he slightly cast a glance at Mu Chen. The sharpness and decisiveness in his eyes had even caused a chill to lift in Mu Chen's heart.
When Mandala heard his words, she had contracted her eyes. It looked like even she had underestimated Nine Nether's importance in the Nine Netherbird Clan. If it was as Elder Tianque said, that would mean that Nine Nether would become a terrifying existence comparable to Heavenly Sovereigns, and for a future Heavenly Sovereign, it was sufficient for them to provide an intense amount of protection.
After all, even after the past few thousands of years, there wasn't a Heavenly Sovereign in the Nine Netherbird Clan!
And right now, Mu Chen and Nine Nether had formed the Bloodlink Bond, so he would naturally be treated as a hidden danger by the Nine Netherbird Clan. After all, the moment Mu Chen encountered a fatal danger, even if Nine Nether could survive, she would have to pay a great price. She might not even be able to complete her final evolution because of it, which was an outcome no one could bear in the Nine Netherbird Clan.
That would mean that the matter today would be a little troublesome... Although Mandala wasn't afraid of the Nine Netherbird Clan, she had to admit that such a Spiritual Beast Clan that has existed for myriads of years had a much deeper foundation than the Great Havenlaw Domain.
She's only the pillar in the Great Havenlaw Domain and if she fell, the Great Havenlaw Domain would become the next Divine Pavilion in the next instant. But the Nine Netherbird Clan wasn't the same, although they did not have any Heavenly Sovereigns, they had several Earth Sovereigns. Therefore, even if Elder Tianque fell, it could only hurt the Nine Netherbird Clan to the core and not the destruction of the clan.
Nine Nether tightly balled her fist as she stared at Elder Tianque, before taking a deep breath and spewed out, word-for-word, "If you guys dare do anything, then don't blame me."
Hearing Nine Nether's words filled with dense threat, Elder Tianque's face couldn't help turning dark as he looked at the stubborn Nine Nether. He looked like he was about to flare up; but in the end, he had sighed with a bitter smile.
"Brat, you're going to hide behind her like that?" Elder Tianque looked towards Mu Chen.
Mu Chen gently pulled Nine Nether's silhouette back, before faintly smiling towards Elder Tianque."If the situation progresses to the worst case possible, I can allow you to dissolve the Bloodlink Bond. I know that you guys have ways to accomplish it."
If he really had to take that step, then he definitely couldn't drag Nine Nether down with him. Because if that's the case, then it might even implicate the entire Great Havenlaw Domain. Even if Mandala had taken action, the price was something that even she couldn't bear. Thus, it was a scene that Mu Chen wasn't willing to see.
"Mu Chen!"
Nine Nether was somewhat enraged. The Nine Netherbird Clan naturally had ways to dissolve the Bloodlink Bond, but that would definitely cause heavy damage to Mu Chen.
"Heh, you're like a man now." Elder Tianque chuckled before his gaze slightly changed, "Forcefully breaking up the Bloodlink Bond is the last resort. But... it'd depend on you, whether we need to take that step..."
Hearing Elder Tianque's words, Mu Chen's heart shook."Elder Tianque, there are other ways?"
Nine Nether also looked at Elder Tianque with her eyes glittering and doubtful at the same time. She was naturally clear that aside from forcefully breaking up the bond, there was no other way to do it.
"There's naturally no other way to break the bond aside from using force." Elder Tianque smiled as he looked at Mu Chen with disappointment and smiled once again."But if you can make the entire Nine Netherbird Clan agree with your bond, then this matter is naturally dealt with. Furthermore, the Nine Netherbird Clan will also be your friend at that time."
When Mu Chen heard his words, he bitterly smiled as he shook his head. Although he did not come in contact with the Nine Netherbird Clan, judging from Elder Tianque's reaction, they definitely would not allow him to have a Bloodlink Bond with Nine Nether.
Elder Tianque's words were basically forcing an impossible task upon him.
"Rubbish!" Nine Nether also understood the crooked logic behind it, so she gritted her teeth and roared.
Elder Tianque wasn't bothered about Nine Nether's anger and said, "Nine Nether, do you know why the clan wants to summon you back this time?"
Nine Nether was stunned as she shook her head. She naturally thought that the clan must have sensed an issue with her bloodline, but judging from the words of Elder Tianque, there's another reason behind it?
When Elder Tianque saw her reaction, he faintly shook his head."It's because the Divine Beast Origin is about to appear."
"The Divine Beast Origin?!"
When the term fell into her ears, Nine Nether's pupils instantly contracted and her cool face started to turn dark. In the end, she went silent and, judging from her appearance, she must've known the meaning behind the Divine Beast Origin.
