The water in the Heavenly River rolled up into a tidal wave and roared continuously, while the thick spiritual clouds gathered in the sky and covered the sun. Boundless sword rays from a large spiritual beam shined down on a figure who was sitting cross-legged under the beam. The sword rays penetrated into every part of the figure, and their power was overbearing. It continually tore the figure’s flesh apart and tortured him.

The figure was Mu Chen.

He had been sitting there for two weeks and had withstood the scouring of the majestic sword rays. He had received umpteen cuts in every part of his flesh and bones, but after each cut, his body recovered with the help of his Dragon-Phoenix Body. The cycle kept repeating itself.

Under such torturous training, if one was not determined, he would have been mentally tortured and given up long ago. He would then lose the great opportunity that the Heavenly Emperor had given him.

Fortunately, Mu Chen was not a weakling. He had toughened up after years of cultivation. He had gone through many tribulations and near death experiences before reaching his current state. Although the Real Spirit Empowerment was torturous, Mu Chen would never give up.

After going through the scouring from the sword rays for two weeks, Mu Chen’s body was used to the torture. After his flesh and bones had been injured, his renewed flesh, bones, and meridians became stronger. After two weeks, Mu Chen’s flesh no longer tore apart. There were only deep traces of sword marks, and it was a sign that his body had become stronger.

He felt that his body had become many times tougher than before. Mu Chen was elated. He knew that it was difficult to strengthen one’s physique. Each time one worked on it, it had to be tougher than the previous level, and one had to control it well. If it was too tough, it would harm his body.

The baptism by the Celestial Emperor Sword was perfect. After each scouring, Mu Chen’s body would be strengthened. The next scouring would be maintained at a level that could help Mu Chen advance further without doing any harm to him. With such benefits before him, Mu Chen gritted his teeth and pressed on…

Although he was happy that his body had become stronger, he was more excited about his spiritual energy. The surface of his Sovereign Sea had expanded amazingly. Huge tidal waves rolled up once in a while with majestic spiritual energy contained within. The sword rays continued to whiz toward the Sovereign Sea to nourish his spiritual energy.

Mu Chen’s spiritual energy was so much stronger than it had been two weeks ago. He imagined that if he fought with his previous self with his current spiritual energy, his previous self’s spiritual energy would be depleted.

If he had cultivated on his own, he would have needed at least one year to bring his spiritual energy up to the current level. However, with the opportunity he was given, he had done it in only two weeks.

As the spiritual energy increased crazily, Mu Chen started to worry. If the spiritual energy in my Sovereign Sea is too rich, the Sovereign Sea may not be able to withstand it. Although the Sovereign Sea was vast, there was still a limit to it. Once it was up to its limit, it might not be able to take it, and the Sovereign Sea would explode.

Must I fill up the Sovereign Sea before I step into Earthly Sovereign-level? Mu Chen was not certain, as he had not stepped into Earthly Sovereign-level before. Although Mu Chen was not sure, he did not stop there. Moreover, he could not stop. The Real Spirit Empowerment was controlled by the Heavenly Emperor. If he continued, Mu Chen would have to continue receiving it until he collapsed.

Mu Chen pushed aside his worries and calmed down. He quietly observed the rapid strengthening of his physique and spiritual energy…

More than ten days passed…

The spiritual energy in his Sovereign Sea had reached the critical point. The spiritual energy surged crazily in his Sovereign Sea, and indistinctly, Mu Chen felt that it was about to explode. His heart started to thump quickly. He was sure that if it continued, his Sovereign Sea would explode. However, the Heavenly Emperor showed no sign of stopping…

Is he trying to burst the Sovereign Sea? Mu Chen’s mind was in turmoil. He suddenly had the thought of getting out of this empowerment, but his rationale told him to press on.

The Heavenly Emperor had no reason to harm him, and he did not have to go to all the trouble. He used to be a master in the Great Thousand World, and even if he was dead, he could easily kill Mu Chen just like how he had killed Lu Heng. Since the Heavenly Emperor continued with it, he must have his reasons for doing so. Thus, after hesitating for a while, Mu Chen chose to believe in him.

Mu Chen took a deep breath and let go. He allowed the sword rays to enter his Sovereign Sea and fill it up. When his Sovereign Sea had been filled up, Mu Chen felt that everything suddenly calmed down.

Crack.

The space in the Sovereign Sea started to crack, and it spread out quickly. Just as Mu Chen had expected, his Sovereign Sea started to burst. Any Sovereign would have been scared out his wits, as everyone knew the importance of the Sovereign Sea. Once it cracked and the spiritual energy leaked out, all his years of cultivation would come to naught. Cold sweat broke out on Mu Chen’s forehead, but he remained still.

Just as Mu Chen was feeling unsettled, he heard the Heavenly Emperor’s voice. “Calm your mind and go with the flow.”

When he heard what the Heavenly Emperor said, he heaved a sigh of relief. He calmed himself down and went along with the changes in his Sovereign Sea.

Bang!

His Sovereign Sea exploded. It was unable to withstand the vast amount of spiritual energy and had cracked. A light spot then appeared on Mu Chen’s chest. This was where the Sovereign Sea was hidden. The light spot expanded when the Sovereign Sea exploded and covered Mu Chen up.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The spiritual energy was indescribably horrifying. It swirled out from Mu Chen’s body, and his flesh, meridians, and bones burst and turned into blood mist… As Mu Chen’s body burst from within, soon his entire body was a lump of blood mist.

Golden light appeared in the blood mist and consumed it. Indistinctly, another body started to take shape again. Mu Chen had activated his Dragon-Phoenix Body to repair his broken body.

Bang! Bang!

Just as the body was about to take its form, another spiritual energy shockwave burst out and destroyed it… The body turned into blood mist again. Mu Chen continued with the repair work!

Bang!

Repair!

Bang!

The cycle of destroying and repairing continued. Mu Chen was happy that his physique had been greatly enhanced during this period. If it had not been, he would not have been able to catch up with his recovery.

Every time Mu Chen went through the cycle, he noticed that after each recovery, his body felt different. He had gone through a transformation. If Mu Chen’s previous advancement in his power was due to the toughening of his physique, his current transformation was from within, from every single part of his flesh and cells!

Mu Chen’s body remained in the state of continual destruction… However, he was no longer panicky and had come to an understanding. Although his Sovereign Sea had been destroyed, he did not feel weak, but instead, he felt extremely powerful. It was the same feeling he had previously when he had smashed someone with a single blow.

Although his Sovereign Sea had been destroyed, it had not disappeared. It had become ubiquitous… Previously, Mu Chen had possessed one Sovereign Sea. However, he felt that now… his body seemed to be filled with the Sovereign Sea. Every part of his flesh was the Sovereign Sea…

From the only one to becoming everywhere, I see… so this is Earthly Sovereign!
